153: Chapter 153 Sixth Brother, the plan has changed, let's make our move!

Chapter 153: Old Six, the plan has changed, strike! Old Turtle hunched his back and walked out from the crowd.

He stood behind Shen Qingyuan, his cloudy old eyes glancing at Shi Tianhao, a disdainful curve hooking at the corner of his mouth.

"Little brat, is my Young Master someone you can touch?"

Shi Tianhao's face was deathly pale, his entire body trembling.

He couldn't sense Old Turtle's cultivation, but that sense of oppression was even more terrifying than when he faced his own Old Ancestor!

"Who... who are you?!"

Old Turtle didn't answer, merely lifting a withered palm and giving a gentle wave.

"Bang!"

Shi Tianhao felt as if he had been struck head-on by a giant elephant. He flew backward, flipping several times in the air before crashing heavily onto the ground, a mouthful of fresh blood spraying out!

"Pfft—"

The entire place fell into a dead silence.

Everyone widened their eyes, staring fixedly at the hunched old man, their faces filled with disbelief.

Canglang Mountain, in a quiet courtyard.

An old locust tree in the yard was lush with foliage, casting a dense shade.

Shen Yuanshan sat on a stone bench with his legs crossed, his eyes slightly closed, looking leisurely.

Golden sunlight filtered through the leaves of the old locust tree in the courtyard, casting a mottled pattern of light and shadow upon him.

Shen Yuanhe leaned against a nearby pillar, his tone carrying a hint of anticipation, "Third Brother, how are we going to handle tomorrow's Canglang Mountain Assembly?"

A sharp glint flashed in Shen Yuanshan's eyes: "Handle it? Any way we want. The Shi Family took ten percent of our resources last time; this time, they'll spit it out with interest."

"Just that?" Shen Yuanhe raised an eyebrow and grinned, "The Shi Family is a great clan from Tianshi City, with a Legacy spanning thousands of years and a Void Piercing Realm Old Ancestor backing them. Their clan resources are quite abundant. I think those Flame Crystal Ore Veins of theirs are pretty good..."

Speaking of this, the smile on his face deepened, "Third Brother, look, that Phoenix is still with Little Nine. When the time comes, let Little Nine give that Phoenix some medicine to produce a few Phoenix chicks. We can use those Flame Crystal Ore Veins to raise them..."

Shen Yuanshan's eyes lit up. He turned to look at Shen Yuanhe, his tone carrying a hint of amazement, "Old Six, since when did your brain become so bright?"

Then, he nodded in deep agreement, "That's a good idea. Yinxian Village developed into a Holy Land just by relying on a few Heaven-Swallowing Brocade-Plumed Chickens with Phoenix Bloodlines. If we raise a few Phoenixes, wouldn't we be unsurpassed in the Southern Region!"

Just then—

"Boom!"

A faint ripple of spiritual energy came from the distance, mixed with noisy cries of alarm.

Shen Yuanshan raised an eyebrow, and his Divine Thought swept out like a fine spiderweb, spreading toward the direction of the ripples.

A moment later, he stood up abruptly, his expression changing slightly.

"How did Little Nine get into a conflict with the Shi Family people?" Shen Yuanhe also sensed it, his expression somewhat surprised. He turned to Shen Yuanshan, "Third Brother, this is going to ruin things."

"Ruin things? Ruin what?" Shen Yuanshan gave a cold laugh, "It's all about establishing dominance anyway. Striking today or striking tomorrow is all the same!"

A ferocious look appeared on his face, making even his smile turn chilling, "Old Six, let's go! Since the Shi Family dares to provoke a Shen Family Elder like this, how can our Shen Family not show some response?!"

Shen Yuanshan took a step forward, his figure like lightning as he sped toward the market.

Shen Yuanhe followed closely behind, a sharp light flickering in his eyes.

At the Canglang Mountain Market, the atmosphere was currently tense.

That slap from Old Turtle had directly sent Shi Tianhao flying while spitting blood. He crashed heavily to the ground and slid for several meters. His grayish-white long robe was covered in mud and bloodstains, looking extremely wretched.

"Pfft—"

Shi Tianhao spat out another mouthful of blood. He struggled to crawl up, only to find that the bones throughout his body felt as if they had fallen apart, leaving him unable to exert any strength.

"Third Young Master!"

Several Shi Family attendants' expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly rushed forward to help Shi Tianhao up and frantically fed him healing Medicinal Pills.

The leading attendant turned his head and stared fixedly at Shen Qingyuan and Old Turtle, his eyes full of venom: "How bold of you! You dare to touch someone from my Shi Family! Do you know the consequences of offending the Shi Family?!"

Old Turtle hunched his body, his hands tucked into his sleeves. His cloudy old eyes glanced at the attendant, a disdainful curve hooking at the corner of his mouth: "Shi Family? Never heard of them."

The attendant's face stiffened. He then pulled a jade talisman from his robe and crushed it violently.

"Bang!"

A piercing red light shot into the sky, exploding into a mass of blood-colored fireworks that could be clearly seen for dozens of miles.

That was the Shi Family's distress signal.

"Just you wait!" The attendant gritted his teeth, his eyes full of ruthlessness. "Our Elder will arrive shortly! When that time comes, let's see if you can still be so stubborn!"

The surrounding Cultivators retreated one after another, their expressions changing greatly.

"The Shi Family's distress signal! This is bad!"

"Although that old man is powerful, the Shi Family brought many experts this time. Even a Void Piercing Realm Elder has come!"

"That young man is probably in for some bad luck... It's not worth offending the Shi Family for a broken stone."

Whispers spread through the crowd, and everyone's gaze toward Shen Qingyuan was filled with sympathy.

Shen Qingyuan still had his hands tucked in his sleeves, standing lazily in place with a calm expression.

Luo Qingyue stood by his side, her white clothes like snow, looking cold and ethereal. A hint of coldness flashed in her clear, cold eyes.

"Young Master, I will go and wipe out the Shi Family."

"How could a small matter like this require the Fairy to take action?" Old Turtle responded with a smile.

He had been by Shen Qingyuan's side for a while now and naturally understood his status within Wutong Garden.

In Wutong Garden, the Sovereign was naturally at the top, followed by Fairy Qingyue.

Third was the hongmeng mother qi root in the corner.

As for him, he should probably be ranked ahead of that Phoenix.

Because he was clear about his status, he naturally couldn't let Luo Qingyue do this kind of dirty work of destroying a family.

After just a moment,

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several sharp sounds of breaking air came from the distance, their speed incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight figures landed in the market, surrounding Shen Qingyuan and the others.

Leading them was a gray-robed old man. He was tall with a sinister face, and his triangular eyes were full of fury. The aura around him was deep, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

Second Level of the Void Piercing Realm!

Shi Family Elder, Shi Pojun.

"Tianhao!"

Shi Pojun immediately saw Shi Tianhao slumped in the attendant's arms, and his face instantly turned ashen.

He quickly walked to Shi Tianhao's side, knelt down, and sent his Divine Thought into his body. A moment later, his expression became even more unsightly.

The injuries were not light.

Three ribs were broken, internal organs were displaced, and there was damage to multiple Meridians.

Although it wasn't life-threatening, it would take at least three months of recuperation to recover.

"Who was it?! Who injured my Shi Family member?!" Shi Pojun stood up abruptly, his gaze like a knife as he scanned the surroundings. The pressure of the Second Level of the Void Piercing Realm exploded out!

That pressure was like a mountain pressing down, crushing in all directions!

The surrounding Cultivators' expressions changed drastically as they retreated. Those with lower cultivation were even squeezed to the point where they couldn't breathe, their faces turning pale.

"It's... it's that old man..." Shi Tianhao's attendant pointed tremblingly at Old Turtle. "He sent the Third Young Master flying with a single slap!"

Shi Pojun's gaze fell on Old Turtle, sizing him up.

A hunched body, a gray Daoist robe, and not a single ripple of spiritual energy on his body. He looked like an ordinary old man who couldn't be more ordinary.

But Shi Pojun hadn't lived this long by being reckless.

To be able to slap away Shi Tianhao, who was at the Third Level of the Soul Fire Realm, this old man was at least in the Dharma Image Realm, or perhaps even the Void Piercing Realm.

However...

A cold smile curled at the corner of Shi Pojun's mouth.

So what if he was in the Void Piercing Realm?

At this moment, he wasn't the only Void Piercing Realm expert present!

Even if this old man was in the Void Piercing Realm, he had nothing to fear.
