227: Senior brother, I want you

"Then..."

"Senior Brother, I want you..."

Shen Nian's pupils constricted slightly as he glanced at Xiao Qinger before him.

Good heavens!

This girl is actually setting her sights on me?

"I want Senior Brother to accompany me to stroll around Eastern Profound properly for a day, just one day!"

A hint of anticipation appeared in Xiao Qinger's eyes.

Within her Divine Soul, the Female Yan Emperor couldn't help but blurt out in disdain: "She's crazy!"

She could clearly ask for resources, yet she wants to go for a stroll? What is there to stroll around in Eastern Profound? What a waste!!

Shen Nian looked at her, somewhat helplessly, and said: "Don't say only half of what you mean next time."

"Just this request?"

"Mm-hmm!" Xiao Qinger nodded earnestly.

"Is it okay, Senior Brother?"

Hearing this, Shen Nian pondered for a moment. Seeing that the day wasn't too late yet, he said: "If you don't mind, how about today?"

His coming-of-age ceremony was tomorrow, and after that, he would have to head to the Heavenly Abyss; even he himself couldn't be sure if any emergencies would arise.

"Of course, that's fine!"

Xiao Qinger nodded excitedly the moment she heard Shen Nian agree, appearing even happier than when her Divine Body had reached Minor Achievement earlier.

"Very well." Shen Nian nodded slightly, then his heart moved.

Whoosh!

"Master!" Shen Yi knelt respectfully on one knee. Although his expression was cold, his eyes were filled with heartfelt admiration.

Shen Yi's state of mind had changed.

Even he had been shocked by Shen Nian today—an invincible demeanor, killing a Void Return Fifth Layer Cultivator in seconds while at the Void Return Third Layer, and even Old Man Tianji addressed him as Lord Human Emperor.

It was enough to be proud of, following such a Master!

"Leave the World-Breaking Boat. You take the others back to the Shen Family to wait for me first," Shen Nian said softly.

"Yes!"

Shen Yi responded respectfully, then thought for a moment and added: "Master, the Cangtian Army commander, Shen Jue, wishes to see you..."

There was a trace of indifference in his eyes as he said this.

This was after the Fentian Holy Land had been breached and surrendered, and everyone was idle. Shen Jue had found Shen Yi and mentioned this idea, asking him to relay it.

Shen Yi had neither agreed nor refused at the time, but this matter still had to be reported to Shen Nian; the decision wasn't something he could make.

As for what exactly Shen Jue wanted to do, Shen Yi wasn't sure, but he could roughly guess. Perhaps the other party regretted it after seeing his Master's talent and wanted to re-enter the Divine Feather Guards. With the other party's seniority and strength, leading the Divine Feather Guards would be more than enough.

But then Shen Yi would be in a rather awkward position...

"Who is Shen Jue?"

From his seat of honor, Shen Nian asked with a frown, thinking it over but failing to recall this figure.

"Replying to Master, Shen Jue is one of the current twelve generals of the Cangtian Army, the Unparalleled General, at the Void Return Peak Realm, with illustrious military achievements..."

"Oh..." Hearing this, Shen Nian seemed to have a slight impression and said casually: "No, I won't see him."

Once these words were spoken, Shen Yi was stunned, looking at the White-robed Figure on the seat of honor.

A general of the Cangtian Army had taken the initiative to show goodwill, and it was actually rejected??

Even if it were the Night King or the Wolf King, they would be very happy. After all, what the Cangtian Army represented in the Shen Family went without saying.

The next second.

Shen Nian's figure vanished while holding Xiao Qinger, leaving behind only the still-puzzled Shen Yi.

Outside the Fentian Holy Land.

A Shen Family World-Breaking Boat shuttled away...

And on the peak of a green mountain in the Fentian Holy Land, two figures were looking in the direction the World-Breaking Boat had departed.

"Strange, when I made my move earlier, that Demon Dao didn't even have a ripple of aura..." Old Man Tianji spoke with a grave expression.

"I originally wanted to take this opportunity to let that Demon Dao notice Lord Human Emperor, and then use my plan..."

"But looking at it now, has this Demon Dao fallen into a deep slumber again?"

When Old Man Tianji said this, his white eyebrows twitched slightly. Profound Dao patterns flickered endlessly in his eyes, as if he were constantly deducing. Even he himself didn't believe what he had just said.

Back then, the reason that Demon Dao fell into a deep slumber was because the ancestor of the Shen Family had severely wounded it. Now, no one could perform such a feat; even if he exhausted everything, he could only barely trap it for a while.

Ultimately, the difference in Realm was still too great. After so many years, no one knew to what extent that Demon Dao had recovered.

However, Old Man Tianji knew very well that the moment that Demon Dao completely broke through the Seal left by the Shen Family ancestor would be the time of Eastern Profound's destruction. Therefore, before this, he had to go out to the Fourth Star Domain to seek reinforcements to have a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Old Ghost Shen, what do you think?"

Old Man Tianji looked toward the silent Shen Min beside him.

"If even you can't calculate it, what can I think? But I'll say it again: if that Demon Dao seeks death, then I shall Seal the heavens..." Shen Min lifted his eyes to look at the firmament, revealing a look of disdain.

Once these words were spoken, Old Man Tianji didn't speak, but frowned in thought.

He didn't know if Shen Min could Seal the heavens, but if that Demon Dao insisted on making a move against Shen Nian, neither of them could stop it...

Only by finding it beforehand and dragging it into the Void of Nothingness would it work!

At the same time.

At the foot of the Fentian Holy Land, where the Cangtian Army was stationed, Shen Jue, the leader, received the message from Shen Yi, revealed a faint smile, and looked at the sky.

"Not seeing me, huh..."

"Then so be it..."

And not far from him, First Elder looked at the figure that had left in the sky and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Lord Shen. My Xiao Family will never forget this kindness!!"

Xiao Xuan, beside First Elder, also cupped his hands.

It was also on this day, on the Central Divine Continent, that a twelve-story Immortal palace building appeared in the world. Someone saw a figure riding a green ox backward drifting down from the Immortal palace...

...

Central Divine Continent, capital city of the Jiang Family.

Within the Sumeru Realm.

This was where the Ancient Desolate Jiang Family resided. Unlike the other three families, the people of the Jiang Family were the most arrogant. Every one of them looked down on the Eastern Profound Human Race from the bottom of their bones, believing that they were the ones flowing with the noble Bloodline of the Ancient Desolate Jiang Family, the true descendants of Immortals.

This was because the Jiang Family possessed a special Bloodline Power. Every direct descendant possessed Divine Power from birth, hence the Jiang Family had the most Body Cultivators and was also the strongest in Eastern Profound.

In their eyes, the weak Mortals were simply not worthy of being protected by them. In the great war fifty thousand years ago, among the Ancient Desolate Families, the Jiang and Wang families did not participate. The Wang family had other reasons, while the Jiang Family simply didn't want to go.

They believed that the life of one Jiang Family member was more precious than ten thousand of those ants!

Therefore, they almost fell out with the Shen Family back then!

If not for the Old Human Emperor of the Human Emperor Hall stopping them, the Shen Family's Old Ancestor would have already broken into this Ancient Realm.

For countless years, the people of the Jiang Family had basically lived in their own Ancient Realm and disdained to deal with others.

Among the Ancient Desolate Families, they were on the surface similar to the Wang Family, but actually stronger than the Wang Family!

This was a fact acknowledged even by the Human Emperor Hall!

After all, the Jiang Family was the only Ancient Desolate Family whose ordinary Disciples could clash physically with the Yao Race; even the Shen Family could not do this.
