189: Chapter 189 The Blazing Sun Sect? Take it down!

Jin Dali led several Lieyang Sect Disciples out of the Shen Mansion, stumbling as they turned into a quiet alley before finally stopping.

"Elder, are we just leaving like this?" a Disciple behind him asked in a low voice. "What is that Shen Family anyway? Do they deserve to make us scurry away in disgrace?"

Jin Dali's face was livid, his chest heaving violently, and anger surged in his eyes.

He looked back in the direction of the Shen Mansion, gritting his teeth as he enunciated every word: "Leave? Who said we were leaving?"

The few Disciples looked at each other.

Jin Dali took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, pacing back and forth in the alley with his hands behind his back, his mind racing.

Palace Master Yu Canglan had visited in person, treating Patriarch Shen Tianze with courtesy and even publicly defending the Shen Family; this matter truly alarmed him.

But on second thought—

Although Xuanyu Palace was strong, it had no connection with their Lieyang Sect.

Could Palace Master Yu Canglan protect the Shen Family for a moment, but could he protect them for a lifetime?

As for Yinxian Village...

Jin Dali frowned deeply.

Yinxian Village sent word that the Shen Family were honored guests, but was this true or false?

Even if Yinxian Village truly valued the Shen Family, to what extent could they possibly value them?

How deep could the friendship be between a small Dharma-Aspect Family and a Holy Land?

"Elder, why don't we go back and report to the Sect Leader first?" another Disciple said cautiously. "Wait for the Sect Leader to decide..."

"Go back?" Jin Dali sneered, interrupting him. "If I go back in such disgrace, where will I, Jin Dali, put my face? Where will the Lieyang Sect put its face?"

He stopped, a flash of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes: "I want to see what trump cards the Shen Family really has!"

"Does the Elder mean..."

"Probe." Jin Dali enunciated clearly. "Send people to probe the Shen Family's trump cards."

The few Disciples looked at each other, revealing expressions of hesitation.

"Elder, the Shen Family has Palace Master Yu Canglan backing them, how are we supposed to probe them?"

"Idiots!" Jin Dali cursed under his breath. "If we can't do it openly, we'll do it covertly. Find a few Loose Cultivators to sneak into the Shen Mansion and see what secrets they really have. If neither Yinxian Village nor Xuanyu Palace reacts, then it won't be too late for us to make a move."

The Disciples' eyes lit up, and they nodded one after another.

"The Elder is brilliant!"

"Go," Jin Dali waved his hand. "Be careful, and don't reveal our identities."

The Disciples acknowledged and turned to leave.

However—

They had only taken one step when they abruptly froze.

At the entrance of the alley, several figures had appeared at some unknown time.

Black robes, masks.

Their auras were as deep as an abyss, pressing down so heavily that the air in the entire alley seemed to solidify.

"Who goes there?!" Jin Dali's pupils constricted, his internal Qi surging wildly as his Primal Chaos Realm third-stage aura erupted.

He stared fixedly at the figures at the alley entrance, a strong sense of unease rising in his heart.

When did these black-robed people appear? His Divine Thought had been covering a radius of a hundred zhang, yet he hadn't detected them at all!

The leading black-robed person walked slowly into the alley, his pace unhurried, as if he were strolling in a courtyard.

He walked up to Jin Dali, stopped, and looked down at him.

"Just now, was it you who said you wanted to send people to sneak into my Shen Family?"

Jin Dali stiffened, his face instantly turning as pale as paper.

"You... are you people from the Shen Family?!"

His voice trembled, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Wasn't the Shen Family a Dharma-Aspect Family? How could they have powerhouses of this level?

The auras on these black-robed people were each as deep as an abyss; he, a dignified Primal Chaos Realm third-stage cultivator, couldn't see through their depth at all!

"No, impossible..." Jin Dali muttered to himself, his whole body shaking.

The leading black-robed person sneered, raised his hand to remove his mask, revealing a dignified and square face.

It was Shen Yuanshan.

"Jin Dali, didn't you want to probe my Shen Family? Now, this Elder has come personally."

Jin Dali's pupils constricted, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

Shen Yuanshan!

The Third Elder of the Shen Family in Guangnan City!

He had previously investigated intelligence on the Shen Family; Shen Yuanshan was merely an Elder in the Dharma Image Realm, someone who counted as a figure in a small place like Guangnan City, but before the Lieyang Sect, he wasn't even fit to carry their shoes.

But at this moment, the aura emanating from Shen Yuanshan was clearly—

Primal Chaos Realm!

And not just the first stage!

"You... you are in the Primal Chaos Realm?!" Jin Dali's voice was trembling.

Shen Yuanhe also removed his mask and grinned, revealing a mouthful of ghastly white teeth: "What, very surprised?"

Primal Chaos Realm!

Another Primal Chaos Realm cultivator!

Seventh Elder Shen Yuanlin also removed his mask, his expression cold and stern, but the Primal Chaos Realm aura around him was likewise released without reservation.

Three!

Three Primal Chaos Realm cultivators!

The few Lieyang Sect Disciples behind Jin Dali were so scared their legs went weak; some collapsed directly to the ground, while others hid behind Jin Dali, not even daring to show their heads.

"El-Elder... wh-what do we do..." a Disciple asked, his voice trembling.

Jin Dali's face was pale, and cold sweat rained down his forehead.

He never dreamed that a small Shen Family would actually hide three Primal Chaos Realm cultivators!

This was no Dharma-Aspect Family; this was clearly a behemoth hidden extremely deep!

"E-Elder Shen..." Jin Dali swallowed, trying hard to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, "A misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding... My Lieyang Sect has absolutely no intention of offending you..."

"A misunderstanding?" Shen Yuanshan sneered and stepped forward slowly. "Just now at the Shen Mansion, in front of our Family Head, you said you wanted to make my Shen Family disappear from Guangnan City. Is this also a misunderstanding?"

Jin Dali stiffened, his lips trembling as he couldn't say a single word.

Shen Yuanshan couldn't be bothered to waste any more breath on him and raised his hand in a wave.

"Take them down!"

Before the words had even faded, Shen Yuanhe and Seventh Elder Shen Yuanlin both lunged forward simultaneously, their figures darting through the alley like ghosts.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Fists and palms struck out together, clean and swift.

Those Lieyang Sect Disciples didn't even have time to scream before they were knocked to the ground, strewn about, unable to move.

It took no more than a single breath of time from start to finish.

Jin Dali's face turned deathly pale, and he turned to run.

However—

He had only taken one step when Shen Yuanshan already appeared before him.

He struck out with a palm!

"Bang!"

Jin Dali flew backward like a kite with a broken string, slamming heavily into the wall at the end of the alley; the wall collapsed with a roar, rubble flew, and dust filled the air.

"Pfft—"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out violently, and Jin Dali collapsed in the ruins, a large part of his chest caved in, not knowing how many ribs were broken, his face as pale as paper, his aura withered to the extreme.

Shen Yuanshan walked up to him, looking down at him with a cold smirk on his lips.

"Elder Jin, didn't you want to probe my Shen Family? Now, have you probed it out?"

Jin Dali trembled all over, his eyes filled with despair.

"You... you cannot kill me... I am an Elder of the Lieyang Sect... the Sect Leader will not let you off..."

"Lieyang Sect?" Shen Yuanshan scoffed, pulling out that bronze-colored Induction Bronze Mirror from his robes. "Rest assured, I won't kill you."

Jin Dali was stunned.

Not kill him?

Shen Yuanshan raised the Induction Bronze Mirror, his internal Qi surging and pouring into it.

"Hum—"

The Induction Bronze Mirror suddenly erupted with a blinding bronze light!

A terrifying power surged from the Induction Bronze Mirror, tearing open a huge crack in the Void Realm.

Within the crack, phantom images of mountains, rivers, Spirit Medicine, and palaces appeared and disappeared, emanating an ancient and vicissitudinous aura.

The Xuantian Secret Realm, the gateway opened!

Jin Dali's pupils constricted, staring fixedly at that crack, his whole body shaking.

"This... what is this?!"

Shen Yuanshan grinned.

"Your new home."

Before the words had even faded, he raised his hand and waved.

A terrifying force of Qi surged from his palm, transforming into an invisible giant hand that grabbed Jin Dali along with those Lieyang Sect Disciples and threw them into the crack.

"No—!!!"

Jin Dali's shrill scream echoed in the alley, but it was quickly swallowed by the crack, disappearing without a trace.

Shen Yuanshan withdrew his hand and stood, brushing the dust off his hands.

"Done!"
