180: This is the real start!

He emphasized the three words Young Clan Master Shen, making it intriguing, lacking respect, and laced with a hint of mockery.

"No, I'm not that idle. I was returning from training with my Elder brother and happened to pass through here," Wang Yuan replied, his eyes filled with intense admiration when he mentioned his brother.

"Elder brother!"

"Is that Lord Wang Teng?" The enchanting woman sitting opposite, who had been silent all this time, immediately perked up and asked.

"That's right," Wang Yuan said with a proud expression.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Lord Wang Teng's training must have taken him to the Heavenly Abyss," the enchanting woman clicked her tongue.

"This time, my Elder brother fought a battle of life and death in the Heavenly Abyss against a Rank Four Void Return great demon of the Royal Family of the Demon Realm, slaying it while fighting across a level of Realm!" Wang Yuan swirled his wine glass and said carelessly.

"Hiss...!!" Ji Bochang gasped, his expression moved with admiration, "As expected of the Northern Emperor!!"

Calculating it, Wang Teng seems to be only twenty-five years old, yet he has already taken Three Steps on the Ascending Heaven Road, reaching the same Realm as the top Elders of the Sun Moon Sect.

The most crucial thing is that terrifying fighting strength!

There is no need to elaborate on how strong the Royal Family of the Demon Realm is. Being able to defeat them in the same Realm is already the sign of a Prodigy, let alone slaying them while fighting across a level of Realm??

One must know that slaying is far, far more difficult than simply winning!

After all, when facing a life-or-death choice, a Royal Clan great demon fighting desperately is even more terrifying!!

The enchanting woman also showed shock, then said, "Brother Wang, rumor has it that Lord Wang Teng is the Reincarnation of an Ancient Immortal. At five, he entered the Heavenly Abyss to fight with the young son of the Royal Family of the Demon Realm. At seven, he ventured alone into the dangerous land of Ten Thousand Gods Lake in the Central Divine Continent and obtained a Golden Ancient War Chariot. At nine, he entered the Immortal Ancient Market and brought out an Immortal Talisman and obtained an Emperor Sword. At twelve, he fell into the Divine Phoenix Cave and obtained Undying Divine Phoenix Blood... Are all these true?"

Mainly, these rumors are simply too exaggerated!!

Giving people a dreamlike, illusory feeling.

All of this is too unbelievable. Only those with great Luck from heaven and earth could possibly obtain one of these things, yet Wang Teng obtained several. He is definitely the protagonist of an era in Human Race history; not achieving Dao Integration would be an insult to his experiences... "Naturally, it's true," Wang Yuan replied with a smile.

"Listen to the deeds of the Young Clan Leader of the Wang Family, and then look at that certain person in our Eastern Profound. The commotion he makes returning home is greater than achieving Dao Integration or Entering the Dao. He really can't compare at all..." Ji Bochang said dismissively.

"Exactly, exactly," the enchanting woman nodded in agreement.

"I'm curious, though. Six years ago, he seemed to only be at Foundation Establishment, so how did he suddenly make it to fifth on the profound dragon ranking..." Ji Bochang continued. Shen Nian's Realm at that time was never a secret, which is why everyone said this generation's Young Master of the Shen Family was useless. Wouldn't the Night King or Wolf King be stronger than him?

But these words were only dared to be discussed behind his back.

"Old Man Tianji has an extremely close relationship with Lord Shen Min, the strongest person of the current Shen Family generation. You figure it out..." the enchanting woman smiled meaningfully.

"No," Wang Yuan shook his head, then added, "It should be real. This kind of thing cannot be faked, and there's no need for the Shen Family to pull such stunts..."

"In that case..."

"From Foundation Establishment to fifth on the profound dragon ranking in six years, that speed is a bit terrifying," Ji Bochang exclaimed. He still believed Wang Yuan's words.

"Heh heh, what's so difficult about Soul Transformation?" Wang Yuan sneered, adding, "Unless they are invincible among their peers, I could fight two Spirit Transformation Realm Cultivators like you with one hand!"

"Cough, cough, cough," Ji Bochang revealed an awkward smile.

"That's enough!"

"How long are you going to keep talking? You two traitors, living in Eastern Profound yet praising other families and belittling Lord Shen! I am ashamed to be associated with you!!"

Mu Xiaoxiao said with a look of anger, trembling with rage, while Jiang Churan next to her was still eating seriously.

"Heh heh, was what I said wrong?" Ji Bochang turned his head and sneered.

"You sellouts! Anyway, I don't care! Lord Shen is a hundred times stronger than that Young Master of the Wang Family!!!" Mu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to retort and simply switched to unreasonable mode.

Shen Nian glanced at her, finding this behavior very childish, and asked softly, "Are you very familiar with that Young Master of the Shen Family?"

"No, the Young Clan Master Shen is a great figure high up in the clouds. How could I know him..." Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and replied.

"Then why bother arguing for him and offending people?" Shen Nian was a little puzzled.

"Of course!" Mu Xiaoxiao said seriously and quickly, "Our Eastern Profound is closest to the Heavenly Demon Realm. The Shen Family stands firm here, directly facing the Five Great Royal Clans. How domineering is that? If any other Ancient Desolate Families were stationed here, we would have been beaten long ago. Look how many years Eastern Profound has been so peaceful! We are able to grow slowly because we are protected by the Shen Family, so naturally, we must respect them!"

"Besides, I heard that the Young Clan Leader of the Shen Family is very handsome and very powerful! Fifth on the profound dragon ranking, ah! He's not at all like the rumors say!!" Mu Xiaoxiao said, her eyes shining, instantly turning into a little fan girl.

Shen Nian looked at her in surprise. He hadn't expected that he still had fans in the Upper Realm.

Given his personality back then, if he hadn't been in the Shen Family, an ordinary person would probably have been hammered to death. He was extremely arrogant and loved showing off. He refused to practice what he was talented at, choosing instead to stubbornly focus on the Dao of the Sword, which prevented his Realm from rising... However, Mu Xiaoxiao was right about one thing: without the Shen Family, Eastern Profound could not be so peaceful. The Shen Family's Cangtian Army is stationed outside year-round, defending against the Yao Race. Although there are no major wars, there are countless small battles. Neither side wants to relax, using these skirmishes to train their troops, and the number of deceased Human Race members is in the triple digits every day.

"Heh heh." Ji Bochang chuckled and stopped speaking. When he saw Wang Yuan's slight frown and a hint of anger, he immediately perked up and continued, "So, judging by your tone, Lord Wang Teng isn't Young Clan Master Shen's opponent?"

"That's for sure! Lord Shen can defeat three Young Masters of the Wang Family with one punch!" Mu Xiaoxiao's face flushed slightly after saying this, clearly lacking confidence. Seeing Shen Nian's gaze beside her, she whispered, "Don't lose morale even if you lose the argument. It's not like they're going to fight anyway..."

"Makes sense," Shen Nian chuckled softly.

The next second.

A terrifying Aura permeated the air.

"I'm giving you one chance now: kneel on the ground and slap your own face, and I will spare you for insulting my Elder brother." Wang Yuan had stood up and was staring coldly at Mu Xiaoxiao.

"This is the real beginning!" Ji Bochang looked excited.

The next second.

An even more terrifying Aura flowed. Wang Yuan's pupils sharply contracted, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground, his hands uncontrollably slapping his own face. A Rune floated out from his glabella, emitting a golden light, and a deep, masculine voice entered Shen Nian's ear.

"Who dares bully my little brother!"

This sudden change stunned everyone.

"Uh, why is he hitting himself?" Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the man in disbelief. Just a moment ago, she had been frightened by his Aura, but unexpectedly, he was kneeling now.

What is going on!!

"Voi... Void Return??" Ji Bochang exclaimed in shock.

"How dare you! A Cultivator at the Void Return First Layer actually dared to attack a member of the Ancient Desolate Wang Family! Call for help!" The enchanting woman slammed the table and shouted angrily.
