15: Chapter 15 Blood Raven Mountain, Taoist Qiu

Wutong Garden.

Sunlight spilled over the golden parasol leaves, shimmering with a hazy halo.

Shen Qingyuan lay lazily on the soft couch, hands behind his head, staring blankly at the parasol leaves above.

Luo Qingyue sat kneeling by his side, her white robes as pure as snow, quietly brewing tea.

The fragrance of tea curled upwards, mingling with the fresh scent of the parasol leaves, refreshing the mind and soul.

Suddenly—

Luo Qingyue's elegant brows furrowed slightly, and her movements paused for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qingyuan asked casually.

Luo Qingyue looked up, a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes. "Young Master, the poison in Wang Teng's body... someone has neutralized it."

"Oh?"

Shen Qingyuan raised an eyebrow, a flicker of spiritual light passing through his eyes.

The Spirit Eye Divine Pupil quietly activated; his gaze pierced through the Formation of Wutong Garden, crossed over numerous rooftops, and landed in the direction of the Wang Family.

A moment later, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"The Wang Family found a Cultivator skilled in poison; they have some ability indeed."

Luo Qingyue was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Young Master, should I pay them a visit?"

Her tone was calm, but her meaning was clear—

Pay a visit and eliminate Wang Teng.

Shen Qingyuan glanced at her and shook his head with a smile. "No need to bother."

Luo Qingyue was slightly taken aback. "Is Young Master worried that I cannot defeat Wang Tiangang?"

She paused and added, "Wang Tiangang is only at the first level of the Void Piercing Realm; killing him would take but a single strike of my sword."

Her voice carried absolute confidence.

Three years ago, she was already in the Huahong Realm. Having stayed by the Young Master's side for three years, although he had never explicitly guided her, the Medicinal Pills and Cultivation Techniques he casually tossed to her were all things that could drive any Cultivator in the Southern Region mad.

Her current cultivation level was no longer something outsiders could fathom.

Shen Qingyuan still shook his head, a playful smile in his eyes. "It's not that I'm afraid you can't win; I'm afraid that if you go, you'll miss a good show."

Luo Qingyue was startled. "A good show?"

Shen Qingyuan lay back down on the soft couch, looking at the parasol leaves above, and said leisurely, "Tonight, someone is going to make a move."

Luo Qingyue's brows furrowed. "Who?"

Shen Qingyuan's mouth curled up slightly as he uttered three words: "My third uncle..."

Luo Qingyue was stunned for a moment. The cultivation levels of those few members of the Shen Family were only at the Dharma Image Realm; could they deal with Wang Tiangang?

She was about to ask for details, but Shen Qingyuan had already closed his eyes and said lazily, "Just wait; there will be something exciting to watch tonight."

Seeing this, Luo Qingyue didn't press further.

She lowered her eyes and continued brewing tea.

...

At the same time.

The Wang Family, deep within the ancestral grounds.

In a quiet secret chamber, Wang Tiangang sat cross-legged, his aged face bearing a hint of fatigue.

Before him, Wang Teng lay on a stone bed, his face as pale as paper and his aura weak, but he had already stabilized.

"Grandfather... my Treasure Body..." Wang Teng opened his eyes, his voice raspy.

Wang Tiangang glanced at him and said calmly, "It's been preserved."

A look of wild joy immediately surged in Wang Teng's eyes. "Really?! My Crimson Sun Precious Body is preserved?!"

Wang Tiangang nodded, but his expression was grim.

It was preserved, but he had exhausted three thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines and a Fifth-Grade Detoxification Pill he had cherished for years, then relied on the secret techniques of Blood Crow Mountain to barely clear that strange power.

The Origin of the Crimson Sun Precious Body in Wang Teng's body was damaged; it would not be easy to recover.

"Grandfather!" Wang Teng struggled to sit up, his eyes filled with resentment. "It must be the Shen Family! It must be the Shen Family who did this!"

Wang Tiangang glanced at him and said calmly, "Do you have evidence?"

Wang Teng choked up.

Evidence?

Where would he get evidence from?

Wang Tiangang stood up, his hands behind his back, and said deeply, "Without evidence, do not speak recklessly. The Shen Family has been able to firmly suppress other families in Guangnan City for eight hundred years, leaving them breathless; they didn't rely on mere talk."

Wang Teng said unwillingly, "But Grandfather, you are already in the Void Piercing Realm! Does our Wang Family still need to fear the Shen Family?"

Wang Tiangang was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "The Void Piercing Realm... is indeed invincible in Guangnan City."

He paused, a profound light flashing in his eyes. "But the Shen Family has been able to dominate Guangnan City for eight hundred years; do you think they really have no trump cards?"

Wang Teng was startled. "Grandfather means..."

Wang Tiangang waved his hand. "Don't ask. Recover well; I'll have your father send you to Blood Crow Mountain."

Wang Teng was immediately stunned. "Blood Crow Mountain?! Isn't that a den of bandits?"

"Hmph! A den of bandits? If it weren't for a bandit like me, you would already be a dead man!" A man draped in a blood-red robe walked in.

The man's face was pale, his expression gloomy, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, please don't take offense; the child is ignorant." Wang Tiangang cupped his hands slightly toward the newcomer, then looked at Wang Teng and said deeply, "You must know that in this world, only strength is the foundation; everything else is illusory."

"Blood Crow Mountain is overseen by the Blood Crow Old Ancestor; their strength is no weaker than the Five Great Families of Guangnan City!"

At this point, he paused. "The Blood Crow Old Ancestor owes me a favor. Although your Crimson Sun Precious Body has been preserved, its Origin is damaged, and you need to use the Blood Pool of Blood Crow Mountain to recover."

"This time, go to Blood Crow Mountain, restrain your temper, and cultivate well there."

Wang Teng glanced at Daoist Qiu not far away and quickly responded, "Yes, grandson understands!"

A moment later, Wang Zhenshan came in and took Wang Teng away.

Wang Tiangang looked at Daoist Qiu, his aged face flickering in the candlelight.

"I must trouble Daoist Qiu to accompany me to the Shen Family."

Daoist Qiu smiled sinisterly. "Old man Wang, you are too cautious. What kind of foundation can a mere Shen Family have? Even if they have one or two in the Void Piercing Realm hidden away, could they possibly be a match for me?"

As he spoke, his internal aura leaked slightly—third level of the Void Piercing Realm!

Two levels higher than Wang Tiangang!

Wang Tiangang's pupils contracted slightly, his heart somewhat shocked.

Although he knew the Blood Crow Old Ancestor was powerful, he hadn't expected that the Blood Crow Old Ancestor would have a powerhouse like Daoist Qiu at the third level of the Void Piercing Realm under him.

His heart immediately settled. With Daoist Qiu at the third level of the Void Piercing Realm plus himself at the first level, the two of them joining forces would be enough to crush any trump card the Shen Family might have!

"With Fellow Daoist Qiu's help, the Shen Family will certainly be no match." Wang Tiangang's expression held a bit more respect. "It's just that the Shen Family is, after all, a great Family that has been passed down for thousands of years. For safety's sake, we should first go and test them."

Daoist Qiu grinned, revealing a mouthful of jagged white teeth. "As you wish. But Blood Crow Mountain has agreed with your Wang Family: once the Shen Family is destroyed, all their resources belong to Blood Crow Mountain, and Guangnan City belongs to your Wang Family."

He paused, a bloodthirsty red light flashing in his eyes. "It's been a long time since I've tasted the essence blood of a Dharma Image Realm Cultivator. I heard the Shen Family has several Elders in the Dharma Image Realm; they'll be perfect for refining my Blood Crow Faxiang!"

Wang Tiangang frowned but said nothing.

The people of Blood Crow Mountain practice evil techniques and are bloodthirsty by nature; he couldn't control that much.

As long as the Shen Family was destroyed and his Wang Family took control of Guangnan City, a few more deaths wouldn't matter.

"Let's go."

The two of them flickered and left the Wang Family, heading toward the Shen Family.
