It was past noon when they finally had some buns in Cang Mang City. They had been traveling until midnight, and hunger was unbearable.

The little fox somehow caught a wild chicken, simply steamed it, and Shen Wenyan found it quite delicious.

"May I ask for your name, Brother?"

The old man transformed by Bai Ze sat nearby, smiling as he spoke.

Shen Wenyan quickly put down the chicken, cupped his hands, and bowed, "My surname is Shen, given name Wenyan."

"And how should I address the elder and the lady?"

Bai Ze chuckled and nodded, "The old man's surname is Bai. Little brother can call me Old Man Bai, and this is my granddaughter, Hu Mei'Er."

Shen Wenyan cupped his hands repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss Mei'Er, for your hospitality and sorry for the intrusion this time."

The two smiled courteously, while the little fox opened its mouth as if wanting to ask something.

But Old Man Bai said, "Brother Shen has been traveling all day and must be tired."

"Girl, go prepare a room and let Brother Shen have a good rest after eating and drinking, we can talk tomorrow."

The little fox pouted and got up to leave.

...

Shen Family at Black Water Pool, midnight.

Shen Yuan awoke from his cultivation and felt the White Jade Turtle Shell in his Sea of Consciousness trembling incessantly.

Somewhat puzzled, he submerged his divine sense into the Sea of Consciousness and saw the White Jade Turtle Shell vibrating continuously, flickering with a strange luster.

At the same time, the previously inexplicably disappeared hexagram also reappeared.

[The secrets of heaven are difficult to predict, the future uncharted, family member Shen Wenyan's destiny is undergoing a change!]

The words of the hexagram fluctuated between golden and bloody hues.

Shen Yuan's expression was grave, uncertain about what was happening.

The second son, Shen Wenyan, had been away from home for four years, with no news. The family didn't know where he was.

The appearance of such a bizarre warning in the hexagram signified what exactly?

Shen Yuan hesitated for a long time, his consciousness shifted slightly.

The White Jade Turtle Shell in the Sea of Consciousness slowly regained calmness, and then slowly revealed a line of text.

[Deducing the fate of family member Shen Wenyan…]

Pfft!

The text on the White Jade Turtle Shell had just started to display before the entire shell suddenly shuddered, as if some exceedingly mysterious power from afar attacked!

Shen Yuan felt his Sea of Consciousness quake violently, his energy and blood surged, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood!

Immediately after, strands of fluorescent light began to ooze from the White Jade Turtle Shell.

Those fluorescent lights condensed above the Turtle Shell, slowly forming a vivid and lifelike strange creature.

With a tiger's head and red mane, sprouting antlers like a deer, snow-white all over, resembling a male lion, with four legs poised to fly.

This strange creature, as if alive, roamed around once on the White Jade Turtle Shell before slowly disappearing, leaving only a red and white intertwined, chaotic mark on the Turtle Shell.

Shen Yuan glanced at the mark, retracted his divine sense, and squinted his eyes, wiping the blood stain from the corner of his mouth.

He slowly stood up, walked out of the Black Water Pavilion, and into the courtyard.

When Shen Wenxing heard the noise and came to the courtyard, he saw his father's breath was somewhat disordered, sitting quietly on a deck chair without speaking.

He hurried over.

"Father, what happened to you?"

As a cultivator, disordered and languid breath is a very serious problem.

Shen Wenxing thought his father's cultivation had gone wrong.

"It's nothing..."

Shen Yuan waved his hand, gazing at the night sky with a blank expression.

After a long time——

"Eldest, find someone tomorrow to inquire about where that little bastard has gone."

"Whether he's dead or alive..."

"Is it Ah Nu?" Shen Wenxing asked.

Currently, within the Shen family, only the brother Shen Wenyan was away from home.

He figured the elder missed his son.

"If there's news, should we bring him back?"

Shen Yuan said nothing, gazed at the stars for a while, then got up and walked towards the backyard.

The next morning.

Shen Wenxing first checked on his father's physical condition in the backyard. Seeing he was fine, he quickly left home to investigate the whereabouts of Shen Wenyan.

He first sent people to inquire at the major noble families in Yangnao Land.

After several days, there was no news.

Knowing his father was probably very worried about his brother's safety, Shen Wenxing relied on connections to inquire with the various Immortal Sects.

Finally, the Celestial Talisman Sect responded, informing them that Shen Wenyan had now entered Danzhou.

Not daring to delay, Shen Wenxing immediately reported this to his father.

In the backyard, Shen Yuan's face was gloomy.

Given the Shen family's current status, if Shen Wenyan were to move in Yangnao Land, the major families and forces would show some respect, and he wouldn't be in too much danger.

But this kid actually recklessly ran to Danzhou!

That is a world where immortals reside.

Not to mention the Shen family, even the stronger Vajra Sect and Hundred Beasts Mountain among the several Immortal Sects only dared to show off in the Qishan area in Danzhou.

"Ha! The little bastard thinks he's invincible!"

"Enough, from today on, I'll act as if I don't have this son!"

"Ah Die!" Shen Wenxing wanted to persuade but saw him already heading to the room.

"Just do what you're supposed to do, this family... will keep turning without any one person."

The voice came as the door closed.

Shen Wenxing heavily sighed, filled with worry.

As he hesitated on how to ask the Immortal Sects for help to find a way to bring his brother back from Danzhou, a guard quickly came to the backyard.

"Patriarch, Elder Huang has returned."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing suppressed his thoughts and quickly went to the front yard side room.

Huang Qingzhou stood with a grave expression at the entrance of the side room. Seeing him approaching from the courtyard, he quickly stepped up and said, "Hundred Beasts Mountain has issued an ultimatum."

"They clearly state if we disagree, it means declaring war against their Hundred Beasts Mountain."

"I didn't dare let Wen'an show up, fearing the conflict would be completely aggravated."
