16: Chapter 16 Our Shen Family: Keep a Low Profile!

Chapter 16: Our Shen Family is Low-Key!

The night was as dark as ink.

Outside the Shen Family's main hall, three figures silently flickered out.

Black robes, masks, and their auras were perfectly concealed.

Patriarch Shen Tianze led the way, his body like lightning, disappearing into the night after a few leaps.

Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe followed closely behind; the three of them were like ghosts, silently sweeping across the rooftops of Guangnan City.

The night wind howled, making their black robes flap loudly.

An excited light shone in Patriarch Shen Tianze's eyes.

Tonight, he would let the Wang Family know the meaning of true despair!

However—

Just three miles out from the Shen Family estate, Patriarch Shen Tianze's figure suddenly jerked to a halt!

"Wait!"

He stopped abruptly, his gaze fixed intently on the path ahead.

Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe also stopped, following his line of sight.

Under the moonlight, two dark shadows were rushing toward them from another direction.

That direction—

The Shen Family!

Patriarch Shen Tianze's pupils constricted, and a chill ran from his spine straight to his head.

"Not good, someone's raiding our home!"

His voice even changed pitch.

The three of them had just stepped out, and someone was already sneaking in?

What kind of damn luck was this?

Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe's expressions also changed drastically.

"Stop them!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the three of them lunged toward the two dark shadows!

...

At the same time.

Yicui Pavilion, top floor private room.

The beaded curtains were half-rolled, and the moonlight was like water.

Shen Qingyuan leaned against a soft couch, holding a glazed cup in his hand. The wine inside was amber-colored, reflecting the moonlight with a warm luster.

His gaze passed through the window, over the layers of rooftops, and landed on the five figures about to converge in the distance.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Third Uncle and the others really have great luck."

He hadn't expected that before Patriarch Shen Tianze's trio could reach the Wang Family, they would almost have their own home raided by them.

Luo Qingyue stood beside him, her white clothes as pure as snow, looking cold and ethereal.

She was also looking in that direction, but a rare look of surprise appeared on her cold face.

"Young Master, Patriarch Shen and the others..."

She paused, seemingly unsure of how to express her feelings.

Are the struggles in Guangnan City always like this?

Besides, three in the Dharma Image Realm dared to stop two in the Void Piercing Realm?

She had seen countless geniuses compete and witnessed the games between Holy Land prodigies; she knew exactly how vast the power gap caused by a difference in Realms was.

Every Realm is a different world. Wanting to fight above one's level is something even Holy Land prodigies find difficult to achieve.

"Young Master," Luo Qingyue spoke softly, "I will go help."

Shen Qingyuan took a sip of wine, his eyes carrying a hint of a smile: "You think they are going to their deaths?"

Luo Qingyue was slightly taken aback.

Shen Qingyuan put down the glazed cup and said slowly: "Qingyue, do you know what the Shen Family has relied on to stay peacefully in Guangnan City for thousands of years?"

Luo Qingyue was somewhat bewildered: "I don't understand!"

"Being low-key!" Shen Qingyuan's lips curled slightly. "Third Uncle and Big Brother can handle those two."

Luo Qingyue said no more, turning her gaze toward the five people in the distance.

...

Under the moonlight, Wang Tiangang and Daoist Qiu were rushing toward the Shen Family.

Wang Tiangang wore a black robe with a black cloth covering his face, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes.

He was calculating in his heart; tonight he would first scout the outskirts of the Shen Family to see exactly how many hidden cards they had.

If the Shen Family really only had those few Dharma Image Realm cultivators on the surface, he would strike tonight.

If the Shen Family truly had hidden experts, he would return and plan further.

In short, he would scout the way first.

Daoist Qiu followed beside him, his face full of impatience: "Old Man Wang, is all this trouble necessary? Wouldn't it be easier to just slaughter our way in?"

Wang Tiangang said deeply: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, please be patient. The Shen Family has a Legacy of thousands of years; it's always right to be cautious."

Daoist Qiu curled his lip and was about to speak—

Suddenly!

Both of them sensed something at the same time and jerked their heads up!

Ahead, three dark shadows rushed toward them like phantoms, instantly blocking their path!

"Halt!"

With a low shout, the three figures landed steadily ten zhang in front of them, surrounding them in a fan shape.

Wang Tiangang's pupils shrank.

He looked closely—

Three people in black robes, all wearing masks, their auras hidden so deeply that their cultivation could not be sensed at all!

This...

What was the situation?

Patriarch Shen Tianze's trio was also staring intently at the two dark shadows before them, their spiritual energy surging secretly, ready to strike at any moment.

The two sides stood in a standoff, the atmosphere so tense it almost solidified.

The night wind blew, swirling up a few fallen leaves.

Patriarch Shen Tianze squinted his eyes as he sized up the two people in front of him.

One had a tall build and a deep aura, with a first-level Void Tempering cultivation; the other was thin, with a faint cold aura emanating from him, and was a third-level Void Tempering expert.

When did Guangnan City get two such experts?

However, that didn't matter.

These two were dressed in black robes and acting stealthily; they clearly didn't look like good people!

Moreover, the direction they were heading was the Shen Family!

Killing intent surged in Patriarch Shen Tianze's heart. Without any nonsense, he directly shouted: "Strike!"

Before his voice faded, he stepped forward, his fist wind howling as he aimed straight for the tall individual!

Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe also lunged forward simultaneously toward the thin individual!

Wang Tiangang's face changed drastically.

He hadn't even decided how to respond before the other party attacked?

What kind of situation was this?

He didn't have time to think; Patriarch Shen Tianze's fist had already reached him!

The fist energy howled, carrying earth-shattering power as it blasted toward his face!

Wang Tiangang's pupils constricted, and the hair on his body stood on end.

This punch—

He couldn't block it!

He exhausted all his strength to retreat violently, while simultaneously striking out with both palms, trying to deflect the power of the punch.

"Bang!"

The fist and palms collided, and a muffled explosion erupted!

Wang Tiangang was sent flying, flipping several times in the air before crashing heavily onto a roadside roof, tiles scattering and dust filling the air!

"Cough, cough, cough—"

He crawled up from the ruins, a mouthful of blood spraying out, his eyes filled with horror.

One punch!

Just one punch!

He had been beaten to the point of vomiting blood!

What kind of cultivation was this?

Wang Tiangang felt cold all over.

Where did such a terrifying expert come from in Guangnan City?

And there was more than one!

He looked toward the other side—

Daoist Qiu was also in a fierce battle with those two.

No, it wasn't a fierce battle, he was... being suppressed and beaten!

Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe joined forces, their fists and palms striking out in lethal moves, forcing Daoist Qiu back repeatedly, leaving him with no room to fight back!

"Damn it!"

Daoist Qiu's face was livid, his heart filled with shock and rage.

He was at the third level of Void Tempering; although he wasn't a top expert in the Southern Region, he should have been able to act without restraint in a place like Guangnan City.

But he hadn't expected that there would be two experts hidden in this city!

To be able to suppress him so completely, these two must be at least at the fifth or sixth level of the Void Tempering Realm.

What was even more terrifying was that the one who had just sent Wang Tiangang flying with one punch had an even more horrific aura—

He was very likely a ninth-level Void Tempering expert!

An existence even more terrifying than the Blood Crow Old Ancestor!

Daoist Qiu's scalp felt numb.

What kind of hellish place was this?

Wasn't it said that the strongest in Guangnan City were only in the Dharma Image Realm?

How could they bump into three such terrifying fellows as soon as they stepped out?

"Who exactly are you people?!"

Daoist Qiu roared, putting all his strength into a palm strike to force Shen Yuanshan back, then retreated violently, wanting to flee.

However—

Shen Yuanhe had been waiting for this moment.

His figure flickered, instantly appearing behind Daoist Qiu, and struck him on the back of the heart with a palm!

"Bang!"

Daoist Qiu sprayed out a mouthful of blood and fell forward, crashing heavily to the ground!

Shen Yuanshan followed closely behind, stepping on his back and pinning him firmly to the ground!

"Run? Can you run?"

Shen Yuanshan sneered, applying pressure with his foot, causing Daoist Qiu to spit out another mouthful of blood.

On the other side, Patriarch Shen Tianze had already walked up to Wang Tiangang.

Wang Tiangang sat paralyzed in the ruins, his face pale and his body trembling.

He looked at the black-robed man before him, his eyes full of fear and indignation.

"You... who exactly are you?"

Patriarch Shen Tianze didn't speak.

He just looked down at Wang Tiangang, his gaze falling on the jade pendant at his waist.

The Wang Family jade pendant.

Patriarch Shen Tianze's eyes narrowed.

No wonder he thought the figure looked familiar; it turned out to be this old thing!

Wang Tiangang!
