188: Welcome to the Hui ethnic minority!

"I didn't expect Lord Shen to be him! No wonder Lord Shen remained so calm even after Wang Yuan arrogantly brought up the Wang Family. They are clearly not on the same Rank!" Mu Xiaoxiao thought to herself.

Behind her, Jiang Churan followed. When she heard her sister mention the Spirit Moon Milk, her eyes lit up with anticipation.

Because it's truly delicious!

"We're almost there. My sister was arranged by Father to serve Lord Shen at the City Lord's Manor," Mu Xiaoxiao said happily.

Jiang Churan's expression was strange as she asked, "Why are you so happy that your sister is serving someone else?"

"Of course!"

"Because the person my sister is serving is Lord Shen!" Mu Xiaoxiao replied earnestly. Seeing Jiang Churan still looking confused, she explained further.

"Since she was very young, my sister was designated to be the person of the Young Master of the Shen Family. I've asked my sister many times, and she is completely willing."

"Actually, I was a little worried before, but after meeting Lord Shen, I am truly happy for my sister. It's a great honor to be able to serve a Lord Shen like him!"

Mu Xiaoxiao said with an expression of adoration, looking as if she wished she could serve him too.

At such a young age, possessing such terrifying cultivation, being so handsome, and still the Young Master of the Shen Family—which woman wouldn't be moved?

"--" Jiang Churan listened, utterly bewildered, still unable to understand.

While the two girls were talking, they arrived in front of the City Lord's Sleeping Quarters.

"Mu Xiaoxiao of the Heavenly Wood Pavilion respectfully greets Lord Shen. I am here to look for my sister, Mu Wanqing!" Mu Xiaoxiao stood respectfully outside the sleeping quarters, cupping her hands. In her heart, there was a trace of expectation—if only she could see Lord Shen again.

If she had known, she would have taken a few more glances earlier instead of rushing to order food.

Meanwhile, Jiang Churan stood there excitedly, waiting for the Spirit Moon Milk. However, the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit in her mind had just finished its Divine Soul restoration work for the day and, having nothing else to do, extended a thread of Divine Thought.

The next second.

This Divine Thought immediately retracted, as if it had witnessed something terrifying.

"This, this, this! How indecent!" the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit exclaimed, face flushed, grinding its teeth.

At the same time.

A woman's muffled cry came from inside the sleeping quarters.

"Wait a moment..."

Mu Xiaoxiao heard that her sister's voice sounded abnormal and couldn't help but show a look of surprise and suspicion.

Just at this moment.

With a creak.

The door to the sleeping quarters opened, and a figure walked out somewhat flustered. It was Mu Wanqing. She was covered in sweat, and although she tried to appear calm, there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

"Sister, you are..." Mu Xiaoxiao looked suspiciously at Mu Wanqing, who seemed slightly off.

"I..." Mu Wanqing's face grew even redder. She didn't know what to say, but the next second.

Boom!

The Spiritual Power within her surged, directly raising her by one Rank. She had completed a Breakthrough.

"Sister, how did you Break through!" Mu Xiaoxiao said in shock.

"This..." Mu Wanqing was also utterly stunned, completely bewildered.

What kind of Physique does Master possess!

How can it contain such immense Power!

"I know! She was just eating the Spirit Moon Milk!" Jiang Churan said after pondering for a moment, then pointed at the corner of Mu Wanqing's mouth: "Look!"

"!!!" Mu Wanqing's mouth twitched, and she immediately didn't know how to respond.

Mu Xiaoxiao, however, was half-skeptical.

Inside the sleeping quarters, in the Jade Pool, Shen Nian's eyelid twitched after hearing the conversation outside... Late at night.

The moonlight was bright, but unlike the moon in the Lower Realm, the moon here seemed veiled by a thin layer of Spiritual Mist, appearing more sacred and mysterious.

This night was destined to be extraordinary for Canglan City.

Because of the appearance of Young Clan Master Shen, the death of the Wang Family Disciple, and the Heavenly Nether Hall currently being annihilated... Inside the Heavenly Nether Hall, in the main hall.

Jiang Qing sat limply on the ground, her Aura weak, her dao palace shattered. Before her was a scene of slaughter, including her clansmen. In her eyes, there was only endless regret and frustration.

"Why..."

"Why was I so stupid!" Jiang Qing couldn't help but let out a self-mocking, tragic laugh. When she returned, she started contacting those powerful backers, but as soon as they heard she had offended the Young Master of the Shen Family, they all went silent. Some even mocked her.

Only at this moment did she understand that in front of the Shen Family, her escape routes were completely worthless. Even the person from the Wang Family severed ties with her after serious consideration.

She had no path left, and what followed were the criminal evidence of these past years. Facing the Shen Family expert, she couldn't even resist before being killed instantly.

"I harmed the Jiang Family, I harmed the Heavenly Nether Hall..." She couldn't help but lie on the ground sobbing, her life gradually fading. In her heart was a bloody hole pierced by a sharp object.

Gradually, Jiang Qing's Divine Soul dissipated.

An elderly figure stood in the main hall, and after seeing Jiang Qing's tragic state, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Alas, on the path of cultivation, one wrong step leads to a thousand wrong steps. Once the piece is played, there is no room for regret. Since neither you nor I possess great Luck, how can we possibly escape..."

"Enough, Old Meng, she brought this upon herself. What are you sighing about? Hurry up and come see how the resources are divided," Mu Feng said, looking impatient.

After tonight.

The Jiang Family ceased to exist, and only one-third of the Disciples and Elders of the Heavenly Nether Hall were transferred to the Heavenly Wood Pavilion and the Sun Moon Sect—these were the Cultivators who had committed no crimes.

The next day.

Early morning.

Shen Nian looked at the bright sunshine in the sky. Outside the City Lord's Manor, three hundred Divine Feather Guards had been waiting for a long time.

Shen Yi cupped his hands and saluted respectfully after seeing Shen Nian emerge.

"Let's go."

Shen Nian spoke lightly. Shen Yi's voice was like thunder: "Depart! Return to the Family!"

Boom!

Countless figures appeared, led by Mu Feng and Meng Hao. They all showed expressions of respect.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the City Lord!"

Besides respect, Mu Feng's eyes held an unprecedented excitement, because Shen Nian was actually taking Mu Wanqing with him on this trip. His Heavenly Wood Pavilion was about to soar!!!

Meng Hao, on the other hand, glanced enviously at Mu Feng, filled with regret.

If I had known, I would have only accepted good-looking female Disciples... Alas...

Separated by an unknown distance of tens of thousands of miles, crossing Ancient Mountains and Ancient Ranges, a massive city stood suspended in the air, having endured countless years. This was Eastern Profound City, the first city of the Eastern Profound Domain, and also the location of the Shen Family.

A long White Rainbow streaked across the sky. Countless people in Eastern Profound City looked up, revealing shock and respect upon seeing the White-robed Figure.

Everything that happened yesterday in Canglan City had already spread throughout the Five Domains.

At this moment.

Inside the Shen Family Sumeru Realm.

The Core Disciples had already gathered. The Five Great Sequences were in front, and the Shen Family Elders stood beside the Sequences. At the very front was an old man, his hands tucked into his sleeves. He had no trace of Qi Fluctuation on his body, and his face was full of smiles, just like an ordinary elderly person.

Yet, as he stood there, everyone looked at him with reverence, because he was the strongest person of this generation of the Shen Family, whose Dao of Talismans reached the heavens: Shen Min!

The next second.

A White-robed Figure appeared before everyone... "Respectfully welcoming the Young Clan Leader back to the Family!"
