Chapter 119: The Shen Family Has Hidden Themselves Too Deeply!

"It's the people from the Shen Family!"

Among the crowd, someone cried out in surprise.

Everyone's gaze followed the sound, only to see two figures walking through the air from the distance. Their pace was neither fast nor slow, and their surrounding aura was as deep as an abyss—they were clearly at the Void Tempering Realm!

It was precisely Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe.

With calm expressions, the two landed one after the other in front of the cave entrance. Their gazes swept over Zhao Hongfu and Chen Boyuan, their lips curling slightly.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Chen, you two certainly moved fast," Shen Yuanshan said with a smile, cupping his hands in a casual tone.

Zhao Hongfu's face stiffened.

He stared intently at Shen Yuanshan, his Divine Thought repeatedly scanning the two of them. The more he scanned, the more alarmed he became, and the uglier his expression grew.

Second Stage of the Void Tempering Realm!

Shen Yuanshan was at the Second Stage of the Void Tempering Realm!

Although Shen Yuanhe was slightly weaker, he was still at the Peak of the First Stage of the Void Tempering Realm!

How was this possible?!

He remembered clearly that during the Five Families Grand Competition a few months ago, Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe were only at the Ninth Stage of the Dharma Image Realm.

How long had it been since then?

Not even half a year!

Both of them had actually made a Breakthrough to the Void Tempering Realm?!

Moreover, Shen Yuanshan was a small Realm higher than him, who had just broken through to the First Stage of the Void Tempering Realm!

"Brother Shen, you two..." The smile on Chen Boyuan's face could no longer be maintained, and his voice was a bit dry. "When did you break through?"

Shen Yuanshan crossed his arms, leaning lazily against the stone wall by the cave entrance, and grinned. "It happened a few days ago. Why, does Brother Chen have an objection?"

Chen Boyuan's facial muscles twitched.

An objection?

Did he dare to have an objection?

Although he was at the First Stage of the Void Tempering Realm, Shen Yuanshan was a small Realm higher than him. If they truly fought, he would be no match at all.

Not to mention that Shen Yuanhe was also watching from the side like a tiger eyeing its prey.

Two against two, they were simply not their match.

Furthermore—did the Shen Family only have these two at the Void Tempering Realm?

Zhao Hongfu had clearly thought of this point as well, and his expression turned somewhat unsightly.

He swallowed hard and said tentatively, "Brother Shen, your Shen Family... really has been hiding its strength!"

Shen Yuanshan raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile. "Hiding? No such thing. We haven't hidden our cultivation at all. On the contrary, you two are the ones who are truly surprising!"

Zhao Hongfu: "..."

Not hidden?

Could he believe those words?

The Shen Family Legacy had lasted eight thousand years, and they had always been incredibly low-profile. Normally, one couldn't even see a Void Tempering Realm Cultivator, and everyone thought the strongest in the Shen Family was only at the Peak of the Dharma Image Realm.

But what about now?

Both Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe had broken through to the Void Tempering Realm!

And neither Shen Yuanshan nor Shen Yuanhe were the strongest in the Shen Family. If both of them already had Void Tempering Realm cultivation, then how many more experts did the Shen Family have?

Perhaps they even had experts at the Middle Stage of the Void Tempering Realm!

Zhao Hongfu and Chen Boyuan exchanged a glance, both seeing deep wariness in each other's eyes.

Although they had broken through to the Void Tempering Realm and were now top-tier combatants in Guangnan City, they had only just broken through after all. Their Foundations were shallow and their auras unstable; compared to veteran Void Tempering Realm experts, they were still quite lacking.

What's more, the Shen Family still had an Old Ancestor who was hidden extremely deep...

They had thought that after their Breakthroughs, their two families could stand on equal footing with the Shen Family, but now it seemed they would still have to live with their tails between their legs.

"Brother Shen is right," Zhao Hongfu said with a dry laugh, lowering his posture significantly. "Since this ruin is within the territory of our Guangnan City, it should naturally be explored together by our Four Great Families. Our Zhao and Chen Families only wanted to go down first to scout the way; we had no intention of monopolizing it."

Chen Boyuan also nodded quickly. "Right, right, right, scouting! Scouting! If Brother Shen is interested, shall we go down together?"

Shen Yuanshan glanced at the two of them and sneered inwardly.

These two old things had just been showing an overbearing face of 'whoever is dissatisfied, come and try me,' but now they had learned to speak like human beings?

However, he was too lazy to argue.

Exploring the ruins was more important. If a conflict truly arose inside, it wouldn't be too late to deal with them then.

"Then let's go down together," Shen Yuanshan spoke indifferently, his tone brook no argument. "But let me state the unpleasantness first: for the treasures in the ruins, everyone will speak with their fists. Otherwise..."

He paused, and the pressure of the Second Stage of the Void Tempering Realm erupted suddenly, like a mountain pressing down, crushing toward Zhao Hongfu and Chen Boyuan.

"Don't blame me for being impolite."

Zhao Hongfu and Chen Boyuan's expressions changed slightly, and they nodded repeatedly. "Brother Shen, rest assured, we all understand the rules."

Shen Yuanshan withdrew the pressure and turned to look at Shen Yuanhe. "Old Six, let's go."

The two entered the cave entrance one after the other.

Zhao Hongfu and Chen Boyuan exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and followed.

As the four Void Tempering Realm experts disappeared into the cave, the spectating Cultivators immediately broke into an uproar.

"Heavens! The Shen Family actually has two Void Tempering Realm experts as well!"

"More than that! Haven't you heard? There are even more ancient existences in the Shen Family's ancestral lands!"

"The weather in Guangnan City is about to change... The Shen Family was already strong, and now they have two more Void Tempering Realm experts. How can the other families even compete?"

"The Zhao and Chen Families also produced Void Tempering Realm experts. It seems they aren't without the power to fight back."

"Power to fight back? What do you know! Shen Yuanshan is at the Second Stage of the Void Tempering Realm! Zhao Hongfu and Chen Boyuan are both at the First Stage. A difference of one small Realm is like the difference between heaven and earth! Not to mention whether the Shen Family has other hidden cards."

Whispers rose and fell as everyone discussed the strength the Shen Family had suddenly displayed.

In the crowd, Shen Quan's eyes were wide, his mouth agape, and he was completely stunned.

The Third Elder and the Sixth Elder were actually at the Void Tempering Realm?!

He stared fixedly at the cave entrance. The two figures had long since disappeared into the dark cave, but the scene from just now was still echoing in his mind.

"When did the Third Elder and the others break through?!"

Shen Quan's voice was trembling, his eyes full of disbelief.

He remembered clearly that during the Five Families Grand Competition a few months ago, Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe were only at the Ninth Stage of the Dharma Image Realm.

How long had it been since then?

Not even half a year!

Both of them had actually made a Breakthrough to the Void Tempering Realm?!

Moreover, Shen Yuanshan was a small Realm higher than Zhao Hongfu, who had just broken through to the First Stage of the Void Tempering Realm!

"The Third Elder and the others have hidden themselves far too deeply..."

Shen Quan murmured to himself. Amidst his shock, an indescribable excitement welled up within him.

These were all experts of his Shen Family!

Shen Chong stood beside him, his expression calm and his gaze deep.

He knew very well that the strength of the Third Elder and the Sixth Elder was far beyond the Void Tempering Realm.

While in the Secret Realm, he had stayed with the Third and Sixth Elders and seen them take action with his own eyes. That aura... was simply incomparable to the Void Tempering Realm.

"Brother Quan, let's go in too." Shen Chong pulled at his sleeve. "Any later and the good stuff will be snatched up."

Shen Quan snapped out of it and slapped his thigh. "Right, right, right! Let's go!"

The two followed the crowd and surged toward the cave entrance.
