136: Chapter 136 Han Lingjun

"I am Shen Bei, greetings, two Fellow Daoists." Shen Bei said softly.

"Shen Bei? You are from the Shen Family?! That Chenwushan Shen Family?" Li Taixuan asked in surprise.

Chen Changqing was also somewhat moved on the side; there were some families surnamed Shen throughout Cang Prefecture, but not many.

Moreover, most of these only had one or two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and their cultivation levels were not high. Yet looking at this young man, his cultivation had already reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and he even had a Talisman Treasure on him.

Among the families surnamed Shen, only Chenwushan possessed this kind of strength, and Chenwushan was also a Purple Mansion force.

"I am indeed a member of the Chenwushan Shen Family. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Li to know of it as well," Shen Bei said modestly.

"Fellow Daoist Shen is being too modest. Although the two of us are merely a small Family in Taihe Prefecture, the prestigious reputation of your Shen Family is renowned throughout the entire Cang Prefecture.

Not to mention the three Purple Mansion Old Ancestors of your Family, even among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators under your command, there isn't a single pushover. Furthermore, the Shen Family has produced a talented Cultivator like you, who is so young yet already at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage; to say otherwise would be underselling it," Li Taixuan continued to praise.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Fellow Daoist Shen, our current situation is not very good. If you trust the two of us, you might as well recover your magical power first while we act as your Protector. Once your magical power is completely restored, we can discuss the current situation," Chen Changqing reminded.

"The two Fellow Daoists saved Shenmou's life, so of course I trust you. Then I will trouble the two Fellow Daoists to act as my Protector. After I recover my magical power, I will chat heartily with you two," Shen Bei said politely.

After he entered the Immortal Cave previously used by Chen Changqing and the other, the two of them looked at each other and stood guard outside.

"Changqing, what he said earlier about a Purple Mansion Master guarding the valley outside, is it true or false?" Li Taixuan asked.

"It should be true. He has no reason to tell such a lie to deceive us. Besides, just relying on those newly appeared faces would be far from enough to collude with my maternal grandfather to rebel and encircle and kill us."

"Furthermore, the reputation of the Shen Family where Shen Bei behind us belongs has always been very good. I think he shouldn't lie either," Chen Changqing continued to explain.

Although the Shen Family was a Purple Mansion Family, they had always kept a low profile. Moreover, whether in business or other aspects, they also emphasized integrity and not bullying others with power.

It was quite strange for such a trend to appear in the cultivation world.

However, that did not mean Chen Changqing completely trusted others. In the cultivation world, even close friends and relatives would backstab each other, let alone other families and Cultivators.

After all, most of it was probably because the benefits were not enough, rather than the other party not having such thoughts. Moreover, the good reputation of the Shen Family was also for profit, not because they were inherently like that. When a day came when they could no longer profit from this reputation, perhaps the Shen Family might turn into a murderous Buddha.

However, this also demonstrated the strength of the Shen Family. After all, if one wanted to maintain a bit of goodwill in this cultivation world, it was impossible without some strength. Those without strength had long perished. Take the Chen Family for instance; if they were not cruel to the cultivation world and instead faced it with kindness, they would have perished countless times over.

Outside the valley.

Chisongzi stood there and gazed from afar. Now, among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had entered the Zifu Secret Realm, aside from those fleeing in the core area, there wouldn't be many left in other places.

Moreover, the Secret Realm was so vast that it was impossible for him to search it inch by inch.

In a few days, the Secret Realm would close. At that time, he just needed to slip away with the help of the teleportation Formation.

He had already asked several Foundation Establishment Cultivators to set up a teleportation Formation here, and preparations had been going on for ten days or so. Next, he just had to wait for the Secret Realm to close.

Outside the Zifu Secret Realm, several Elders of the Yuxu Sect guarding the Zifu Secret Realm were playing chess against each other. The two had not yet noticed the changes inside the Zifu Secret Realm, but they couldn't be blamed; they never imagined that anyone would dare to deal with the Yuxu Sect right under its nose.

Coupled with the fact that the organization Anti-Immortal Alliance was only known to a few people so far, even Golden Core forces like the Yuxu Sect had never thought that such a force actually existed behind the Yan Country cultivation world.

"Senior Brother Han Chengye, I didn't expect your chess skills to improve at such a rapid pace during this period. Previously you were far inferior to me, but now you can even win against Junior Brother Yang Zhan by one point." The person who spoke was none other than the old man who had appeared outside the Secret Realm earlier.

"Junior Brother Yang Zhan flatters me. How many points Junior Brother Yang Zhan gave up, Senior Brother Han Chengye can still tell," Senior Brother Han Chengye said modestly.

Junior Brother Yang Zhan heard this, let out a wry smile, and then turned his head to ask, "Senior Brother Han Chengye, I remember whether there is a Junior in your Family named Lingjun."

"Indeed there is. Why is Junior Brother Yang Zhan suddenly concerned about my Family's grandson?" Senior Brother Han Chengye asked in confusion.

"Your Family's grandson is truly remarkable now. He achieved Foundation Establishment in his twenties, and now he is only at the Foundation Establishment Third Stage. However, it is said that his strength is not inferior even to Foundation Establishment Fourth Stage Cultivators. You also know that my granddaughter has been arrogant and domineering since childhood. Now, for a Cultivator who can suppress her to appear is already very rare, so..." Before Junior Brother Yang Zhan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Senior Brother Han Chengye.

"You mean that girl has taken a fancy to Lingjun in my Family."

"Indeed so. Hehe, pardon me, Senior Brother Han Chengye, my granddaughter has been urging me constantly during this period, hoping to meet that kid Lingjun. I was really getting too annoyed to bear it, but after all, she is my biological granddaughter, so I still have to agree to this request." Junior Brother Yang Zhan was also a bit embarrassed. He knew that his granddaughter had been arrogant, domineering, and rather willful since childhood, and acted impulsively.

However, her talent was not low either. At least she entered the Foundation Establishment Stage in her thirties, and moreover had a High Grade Dao Foundation. In the future, there was still a considerable hope of achieving the Purple Mansion stage.

Hearing this, Senior Brother Han Chengye furrowed his brows involuntarily. It wasn't that he wouldn't agree, but rather that kid Han Lingjun had ambitions higher than the sky. When he underwent Foundation Establishment, he succeeded with a supreme Dao Foundation. Although he was only at the Foundation Establishment Third Stage, if he unleashed all his trump cards, he could even contend with a Foundation Establishment Sixth Stage Cultivator or two.

With such strength, even Senior Brother Han Chengye himself might not have possessed such combat power in his youth, so Senior Brother Han Chengye naturally had some hesitations.

However, the others were unaware of this.

"Could it be that Senior Brother Han Chengye is unwilling?" Junior Brother Yang Zhan's tone was helpless. Although he felt that Han Lingjun was indeed exceptionally talented and could rank near the top even in the entire Sect, his granddaughter was necessarily inferior; she just didn't pursue Cultivation matters as fervently.

"Is it that my granddaughter is not worthy of that kid Lingjun?"

"Junior Brother Yang Zhan, it's not that I am unwilling, but that kid's ambitions are higher than the sky. Whether he will agree is also a question. How about this, I will have him stay at your granddaughter's place for a period of time. If the two of them fall in love, it won't be easy for you and me to stop them; if both sides are unwilling, naturally you and I will find it even harder to interfere."

"Haha, that is naturally the case. Let the matters between Juniors be decided by the Juniors. Indeed, it's not very appropriate for Senior Brother Han Chengye and me to interfere too much," Junior Brother Yang Zhan laughed and said.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Han Chengye agreed, otherwise upon returning he would have been chased and questioned incessantly by that little girl, which was somewhat annoying, but after all she was his own granddaughter.

Senior Brother Han Chengye took out a sound transmission talisman and immediately summoned Han Lingjun.
