252: I'm a little scared now!

The Shen Family's side hall was resplendent, with golden light and misty spiritual energy interwoven.

Jiang Churan, who was still enjoying the show at Ancient Martial Plaza, was suddenly picked up by a large hand. When she reappeared, she was already in this grand hall, waiting in a daze until now.

Then!

Just now, that large hand suddenly snatched all the food from her, along with the pots, bowls, chopsticks, and a series of Spiritual Artifacts related to eating that she had carefully crafted in Sunset Valley.

Until not a single one was left...

Jiang Churan looked at the black-clad figure in front of her with despair, but the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit within her showed an expression of interest.

Finally!

Someone can finally rein in this girl!

The main reason was that it had already recognized Jiang Churan as its master, and as an artifact spirit, it often couldn't refuse or perform actions that would harm its master. So, it could only earnestly advise her, but couldn't directly snatch everything from her like Shen Nian did.

"Why?"

"Senior Brother, your family is so rich, it's not like you can't afford food, why did you snatch mine?" Jiang Churan stood there, her face full of grievance, gritting her teeth.

Shen Nian's mouth twitched slightly.

Just now, on the Demon Slaying Platform, he saw Jiang Churan watching and eating. When he checked her Realm, good heavens, it hadn't moved at all!

Speaking of which, Jiang Churan was clearly the most talented of his three Junior Sisters, and she was a Rebirth cultivator, not lacking Cultivation Techniques or Divine Abilities, and even had a Sword Spirit to guide her. With these conditions, she was slacking off every day, which was simply a waste!

"Do you still remember the task I gave you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Churan immediately nodded and said, "Of course, to reach the Void Return Realm within seven days..."

"I've been working hard to Cultivate!"

"I've been Cultivating an hour more than usual recently, and I've made great progress!"

"I'll definitely have a chance to enter the Void Return Realm in four days!" Jiang Churan showed an extremely determined expression, but her gaze kept lingering on the jade pendant at Shen Nian's waist, where all her belongings were stored.

Shen Nian turned his head and looked at her. Jiang Churan was showing a silly smile, and Shen Nian immediately felt speechless.

One hour?

That counts as more??

At this moment, Shen Nian suddenly realized that he couldn't apply the same intensity to every Junior Sister; some were self-motivated, while others were incredibly lazy.

He had to change his approach.

Then he heard.

"Alright, at your current pace, it's absolutely impossible to reach the Void Return Realm in four days. Since you're ignoring my words and wasting your talent, from now on..."

"No eating until you Cultivate to the Void Return Realm!"

"These things will be with me for now. When you satisfy me, I'll naturally return them to you!"

"Understood?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Thump, thump, thump~

Jiang Churan suddenly retreated several steps, looking at Shen Nian with horror.

"No eating?"

"Huh??"

She seemed to have heard something incredible.

"Food is as essential as iron for humans, I'll die if I don't eat, Senior Brother!" Jiang Churan cried out to the heavens, while also shouting in her heart.

"Sword Mother!"

"What should I do?!"

The Nine Swords Tribulation Spirit, however, looked down, choosing to ignore her. It had wanted to do this for a long time.

It was just that the conditions didn't allow it!

Now that someone could discipline Jiang Churan, it couldn't be better!

The people in Sunset Valley had too low a standard; they let Jiang Churan slack off every day, thinking her Breakthrough speed was already shocking enough. What could be done?

"You are at Soul Transformation Perfection, you could have abstained from food long ago, you won't die without eating..." Shen Nian finished, then glanced at Mu Wanqing behind him, saying, "Without my order, no one is allowed to give her any food."

"Yes!"

"Master!" Mu Wanqing respectfully bowed and replied, then looked at Jiang Churan with sympathy.

At this moment, Mu Wanqing was radiating dense green spiritual energy, clearly having achieved a great Breakthrough. Even her appearance had changed with the improvement of her Realm.

She had an even more charming allure.

Through their interactions over the past two days, Mu Wanqing had developed a great fondness for this beautiful and guileless woman.

"Senior Brother..." Jiang Churan stiffly looked at Shen Nian's back.

Shen Nian, who was about to leave, remembered something and turned around to look at Jiang Churan, but his words were very profound: "You are also not allowed to give her food..."

"I'll be back in three days, and you'll come with me to Dayan."

With that, Shen Nian disappeared directly from the side hall. At this moment, he needed to digest the Demon Emperor's Soul he had obtained.

Only by becoming stronger, strong enough that fate could no longer bring him death, could he truly relax and enjoy himself.

After all, always knowing when he would die, this feeling was truly strange and unpleasant!

In the side hall.

Boom!

A loud bang.

The entire side hall shook.

A terrifying dao principle power surged, and the ancient Divine Might caused one's Divine Soul to ache; it was an irresistible force.

Jiang Churan, who was bounced back by this dao principle power, had a pale face.

"It's useless, this is the Shen Family. Every palace has a Formation. Even a Dao Integration cultivator would find it difficult to break through in a short time, unless they rely on Formation for Dao Integration..." Mu Wanqing explained.

Then she walked to Jiang Churan's side, supporting her, and said seriously, "Master is doing this for Young Miss Churan's own good. Cultivate diligently, and Master will definitely give you food..."

At this moment, Jiang Churan couldn't even speak. Her heart felt empty, as if something important was missing, and she felt no sense of security.

"Sword Mother, what should I do? You're the best to me, can you think of a solution for me?"

However, within her Divine Soul, the black-robed woman beside the giant black sword stood still, her face filled with shock, unable to recover for a long time.

"How is this possible..."

"He knows I exist?"

"Which sentence was directed at me?"

"No!"

"This is impossible!" The Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit said with certainty, her expression grave.

"He absolutely cannot discover my existence!"

"Even transcendent Immortals and Ancient Realm Venerables cannot discover it!"

"It must be me overthinking things. Maybe he misspoke?" The Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit muttered to herself, but if she didn't figure this out, she wouldn't be able to sleep at all.

She must find an opportunity to test if the other party truly knows!

If it's true, then Jiang Churan's Senior Brother is too bizarre!

Thirty-Six Layer Immortal Palace, mastering Immortal Emperor-level Sword Arts Divine Abilities at the Void Return Realm, and the Innate Chaos Body that reverses life – each of these, even if her master saw them, they couldn't help but exclaim that it was monstrous!

But all of these were present in one person, and that person could also discover her!

Doesn't this mean he possesses abilities beyond an Ancient Realm Venerable?

If it's true, then there's only one possibility: Shen Nian is also a Rebirth cultivator!

Moreover, his Realm in his previous life was even more terrifying than her master's!

Thinking of this, the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit's face grew heavier and heavier. If it were true, that would be too terrifying!

...After returning to his own palace, Shen Nian was about to close the door when he saw a wrinkled hand grab his arm.

Seeing the person, Shen Nian felt somewhat helpless.

"Your Majesty, Human Emperor!"

"Don't be in a hurry, let's chat, hehehe..."

At the same time.

Outside the Shen Family's Ancient Realm, in an inn.

"Big Brother, given the current situation, are we really going to say those things as the Clan Chief instructed? I'm a little scared now..."
