Shen Xuan frowned.
The words of Yulan Fairy carried deeper meanings.
He genuinely was not aware.
However, he still nodded his head.
"Does Yulan Fairy have any insights?"
"I wouldn't dare call them insights!"
Yulan Fairy bit her lip, as if making a resolution.
"In Cyan Yang Prefecture, Zhao, Zhou, and Su families, we should not provoke them."
"As for matters of the other families, you should not interfere either!"
At this moment.
Yulan Fairy's expression was incredibly earnest: "Fellow Daoist Shen, take a piece of advice from Yulan. Even if you want to intervene, you won't be able to handle them all!"
Shen Xuan pondered for a long time.
Only then did he slowly speak: "Previously, I told Murong Jun not to cause trouble in Cyan Yang Prefecture!"
"My master ordered me to support the Su family of Flying Cloud in Cyan Yang Prefecture for thirty years. Now, seven years have passed."
"You should not plot against the Su family! This matter is your wrongdoing!"
Murong Jun burst into laughter.
"The Su Patriarch and Su Jiayuan, those fools, insisted on presenting themselves, I only couldn't bear to refuse!"
"The meat served to the mouth, who can resist eating it!"
"For the sake of Fellow Daoist Shen, I'll let them go, and that's that, it's not difficult!"
Shen Xuan nodded lightly.
"The identity of Murong Jun can no longer be used!"
"If not, then not! I'm leaving! This flesh body, if you want it, I'll give it to you!"
After a blood shadow flew out from Murong Jun's body, he slumped to the ground, face withered and sallow, hair white as snow.
Yulan Fairy slightly bowed courteously, also turning into a blood shadow and disappearing into the void.
Shen Xuan stood at the original spot for a long time.
He sighed lightly.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, have you seen enough?"
A small puppet mantis peeked out from the grass, triangular compound eyes staring at Shen Xuan.
"You knew I was here?"
A hoarse voice suddenly arose.
Shen Xuan smiled but said nothing.
"Master Shen, I bear you no ill will. Many things, I too do not wish for."
"I know. Therefore, you are still alive now."
Shen Xuan waved his hand.
"Let's discuss it back there!"
The puppet mantis leaped into the grass, disappearing swiftly.
After a while.
The Zhao Patriarch arrived with people in tow.
"Master Shen, what's this?"
Gazing at Murong Jun's body on the ground, the Zhao Patriarch asked respectfully.
Behind them.
The other Foundation Establishment cultivators who accompanied, all perked their ears to listen.
"A deed of a demon offspring from the Blood Spirit Sect. Young Master Murong had long been harmed by this demon cultivator, using his body to hide and lurk with ulterior motives."
Shen Xuan's words, in a way, absolved the Murong family.
He had no intention of getting tangled with the Blood Spirit Sect's demon cultivators.
At least, one thing Murong Jun said wasn't wrong.
In many matters, they were not masters of their own fate.
Even if fighting to death, there wasn't much sense to it.
In Cyan Yang Prefecture, there would still be other Saint Sons and Saintesses from the Blood Spirit Sect penetrating in.
The Dao-Demon conflict was not as simple as it outwardly appeared.
The world is like chess, and they are all but pieces.
He never thought of turning the tide.
Just wanted to pass these twenty-three years smoothly, complete the mission, and return to the Cyan Cloud Sect.
To be a direct disciple of the True Master.
The Zhao Patriarch looked at Shen Xuan with a complex expression.
It turned out that Young Master Murong was a Saint Son of the Blood Spirit Sect!
Transformations beyond reckoning, traceless and shadowless.
The Blood Spirit Sect's Nine-Layered Blood Shadow Technique indeed changes unpredictably.
But, what he didn't expect more was.
Shen Xuan's cultivation was unexpectedly terrifying to this extent.
Even though he was the Patriarch of a great cultivation clan, middle stage of the Foundation Establishment.
If it came to combat prowess, he reckoned he was far inferior to Shen Xuan.
The Zhao Patriarch felt a flicker of dread in his heart.
Fortunately.
Their Tiger Ravine Zhao family always maintained a firm stance towards the Demon Sect.
No targeting, no confrontation, no collaboration.
The ancestor resolutely refused the Blood Spirit Sect's cooperation agreement.
With a figure like Shen Xuan in Cyan Yang Prefecture.
The Blood Spirit Sect's Saint Son, if facing him, would find it hard to gain an advantage, doomed to fail.
The Zhao Patriarch just received news.
Shen Xuan had always concealed his skill.
He could have long ago made exquisite Thunder Talismans.
He had at least dozens of exquisite Thunder Talismans on him.
Moreover, Shen Xuan was very likely dual-cultivating Water and Thunder.
Water Technique perfected, Thunder Technique at great success.
In the Celestial City Mansion, instantly killing the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator Sun Zhengyang.
The Sun Family's ancestor and the head of the Sun Family, combined, could not stop Shen Xuan.
Watched him use Water Escape to leave, not daring to pursue.
"Killing the Demon Child of the Blood Spirit Sect, Shen Talisman Master's merit is boundless!"
The Zhao Patriarch said with a cheerful smile.
The cultivators behind him echoed with a chorus of compliments.
Shen Xuan smiled modestly, humbly responding a few times.
...
In the Su Clan Territory.
In the discussion hall.
Facing the elders of the Su Clan, the Su Patriarch felt utterly humiliated.
"This matter is entirely my fault! I will relinquish the position of Patriarch right now!"
Upon hearing this.
The Su Clan elders sighed in unison.
They never thought that Murong Jun, who voluntarily joined the family, was actually the incarnation of the Blood Spirit Sect's Saint Child.
They thought they had secured a great deal.
Believing a talented Foundation Establishment Realm figure would join the clan.
Thankfully, Shen Talisman Master saw through it!
Otherwise, if the Blood Spirit Sect's Saint Child had joined, who knows what disaster having descendants would have brought!
"Su Jiayuan, you've known that Demon Cultivator's incarnation for so long, and you never noticed anything?"
Mentioning Su Jiayuan, several clan elders simultaneously showed expressions of hatred.
"So pretentious!"
"An empty vase!"
"As dumb as a pig!"
Someone scolded.
To this, the Su Patriarch did not refute.
Bringing about such calamity, a few scoldings are nothing.
These clan elders all knew the inside story.
Seven years ago, when Shen Xuan first came to the Flying Cloud Su Family.
He intended to matchmake Su Jiayuan and Shen Xuan to become Dao companions.
Although Shen Xuan was slightly older in age.
His status and position were apparent.
A direct disciple of a great sect True Master, Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Tier Two Talisman Master.
Such a person might be ordinary in the Cyan Cloud Sect.
But in Cyan Yang Prefecture, he was a top-notch figure.
It is unknown which nerve of the granddaughter Su Jiayuan was amiss.
She disliked Shen Xuan for being older, resisting the arranged marriage.
As a result, the collateral girl Su Xue'Er proactively pursued him, successfully becoming Shen Xuan's concubine.
When the Su Patriarch later invited Puppet Master Zhuang Ping to probe again, Shen Xuan politely declined.
Later even the Immortal Bai Lian frequently entered Rain Listening Pavilion, getting involved with Shen Xuan.
If only Su Jiayuan had been more proactive back then...
At this moment, the Su Patriarch's eyes were filled with regret!
Master Gu Feng's order for Shen Xuan to support the Su Family, what luck!
Being able to decipher and successfully create the long-lost [Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman].
This was a testament to his talent in Talisman Art!
Su Jiayuan actually looked down on Shen Xuan!
Even looking down was acceptable.
But she was infatuated with the incarnation of a Blood Demon Sect Saint Child, bringing about the disaster of extermination!
The Su Patriarch regretted deeply, a trace of self-blame unconsciously flashed across his face.
Ultimately, he had pampered this legitimate granddaughter too much!
Now, it's too late to say anything.
In the eyes of the clan elders, Su Jiayuan was undeniably a misfortune!
The Su Clan elders discussed throughout the night.
The Su Patriarch would temporarily assume the position of patriarch, waiting for other Foundation Establishment cultivators to break through to the Middle Stage before considering passing down leadership.
After all, he was the only one in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, needed to support the family.
Su Jiayuan was to be married off to a distant land.
Without the clan elders' meeting approval, she could not return to Cyan Yang Prefecture!
As for the Su Family, it was announced to close the mountain for ten years.
Strictly forbidding Su family offspring from traveling outside.
The next day, upon learning she had been dispatched to marry far away to a remote land.
Su Jiayuan felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Unable to express her grievances.
"Shen Xuan..."
In her mind, Shen Xuan's visage emerged.
Seven years had passed.
Shen Xuan seemed never to age.
His appearance unchanged, elegant and unrestrained.
Suddenly, her vision blurred.
Warm tears silently slid down.
At this moment, she understood in her heart.
She missed the best encounter of her life.
At that time, she was too young, not knowing that all the gifts from fate had long been priced in secret!
Meanwhile.
Shen Xuan, his expression complex, stared at the Puppet Master Zhuang Ping in front of him!
