Cyan Dragon Bay Market.

Left area.

Ding Yixuan, holding a letter, eagerly walked into the council hall.

"Big brother, a letter from Hongcheng County, Talisman Master Shen has gone to Hongcheng County and has agreed to return to Cyan Dragon Bay for a visit!"

Ding Yijin, sitting in the middle, handed the secret message to his younger brother.

"A secret message? From over there?"

After just a glance, Ding Yixuan's expression changed.

"Talisman Master Shen has already arrived and is chatting with old acquaintances at the Ding residence?"

Just then, a close family member rushed in and handed over another secret message.

A flame symbol was drawn on it, indicating extreme urgency.

Ding Yijin opened it, his expression was extremely complex.

"What's wrong, big brother?"

"The Red Rainbow Sect's Law Enforcement Team wants to take Talisman Master Shen back!"

Ding Yixuan took the secret message and rapidly scanned it with his Divine Sense.

"How could this be? Didn't Talisman Master Shen reveal his identity? Isn't he a disciple under the True Master of the Cyan Cloud Sect?"

"Let's go and see!"

"Alright!"

The two transformed into Escape Light and flew to the central junction of Cyan Dragon Bay Market.

Although there was an array spirit net blocking their way, both being Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could still somewhat make out the outline on the other side from above.

At this moment, Ding Yixuan saw from a distance Liu Wangjing of the Red Rainbow Sect casting spells against Shen Xuan.

"Big brother, Talisman Master Shen has saved our family members before, we cannot not save him."

"Calm down. Since Talisman Master Shen is a disciple under the True Master of the Cyan Cloud Sect. How could he lack protective measures! Mere Liu Wangjing, Talisman Master Shen has means to deal with him."

Sure enough.

The two battled with spells for only a few breaths.

Liu Wangjing was no match for Shen Xuan.

Even the Anomalous Fire he had nurtured for years was seized and restrained by Shen Xuan.

However, when Liu Wangjing made a gesture and swung violently.

Ding Yixuan's face changed dramatically.

"Not good! Those villains from the Red Rainbow Sect want to use the market array to annihilate Talisman Master Shen!"

Ding Yijin was equally astonished.

Only until now did he confirm that Shen Xuan had not revealed his identity, and the Red Rainbow Sect did not know his identity either.

Otherwise, how would they dare use the market array to annihilate a disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect's True Master!

...

It was only until now that Shen Xuan's expression became serious.

Dealing with a mere Liu Wangjing, he only used twenty percent of his strength to beat him to the ground.

But the locking attacks of the market array were not so easily handled.

Each Golden Light Spirit Arrow carried the attack power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The key was that the market array connected to the Spirit Vein, with an endless supply of Spiritual Qi, allowing the continual aggregation of Golden Light Spirit Arrows for ongoing attacks.

Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator could fend off for a while, they would eventually fall beneath the Spirit Arrows due to their Spiritual Power depleting.

Unless the market array could be broken.

With the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator alone, it was absolutely impossible.

Unless there were Tier Three Array-breaking Beads or Array-breaking Talismans, or the concentrated attack of many Foundation Establishment powers in an instant to break the market array defenses.

Right now, it was only Shen Xuan, trying to fend off those Golden Light Spirit Arrows on the spot would certainly be troublesome.

"Very well!"

Auspicious clouds formed under Shen Xuan's feet, [Soaring Clouds and Mist], and he swiftly fled.

Behind him, hundreds of Golden Light Spirit Arrows pursued closely.

The Nine-Layered Spiritual Ice Wall had only resisted for one breath before collapsing in succession.

Shen Xuan had already mastered [Soaring Clouds and Mist], and his flying speed was extremely fast.

He glanced back at the Golden Light Spirit Arrows behind him, a fierce light glinted in his eyes.

Originally, he just wanted to return to his old home for a visit, with no desire to get involved in the conflict between the Red Rainbow Sect and the Celestial Skill Sect.

Visiting the Ding family was just a courtesy, exchanging a few words, and gifting some Thunder Talismans and Poison Talismans to wrap it up.

Unexpectedly, the Red Rainbow Sect acted so domineering and protective.

Dared to ruthlessly try to kill him.

Thoughts rapidly swirled in Shen Xuan's mind as he flew towards the Second-class Mansion Old Residence.

...

At this time, in the Second-class Mansion Old Residence.

In the bedroom on the second floor.

A stunningly beautiful female cultivator with peach blossom cheeks was teasing a slightly immature male cultivator.

The charming female cultivator giggled, her dress half-covered, undulating like waves.

"Little Chen Daoist, what are you afraid of! The old man has gone herb-picking!"

The male cultivator's eyes lit up.

"How long until Lao Yu returns?"

"Not within two hours, he won't be back!"

"That's good then!"

The male cultivator quickly took off his clothes, revealing young and vigorous muscles.

Like a hungry wolf, he pounced.

Clothes went flying.

Just as two white bodies were about to intimately connect.

"Boom!"

As if celestial thunder rolled in.

Little Chen was startled with a shiver.

And shuddered.

"Is Lao Yu back?"

The charming female cultivator was noticeably calmer.

"Impossible! He doesn't have this capability!"

She boldly peeked out.

Only to see the mansion's ward demolished into pieces by a thunderous explosion.

An azure shadow rapidly shot past.

Followed closely by hundreds of Golden Light Spirit Arrows.

The charming female cultivator was shocked, not caring about her nakedness, she pinched a spell, and leapt out the window.

Before jumping out, she kindly reminded, "Little Chen Daoist, jump out the window quickly!"

How could she know.

Little Chen Daoist was shivering with fright, soul lost, unable to focus divine soul power to cast a spell!

...

Shen Xuan cast a [Thunder God's Fury], blasting open the mansion's ward.

He didn't fly towards the residence.

Rushed into the Spirit Pool in the backyard.

Just as the Golden Light Spirit Arrows were about to reach him, he submerged into the Spirit Pool.

"Rumble!"

The hundreds of Golden Light Spirit Arrows blasted the entire Spirit Pool beyond recognition.

Not to mention people, even the fish and shrimp in the Spirit Pool did not survive.

Ding Yixuan, seeing this scene, was struck with horror.

"Those vicious villains! Big brother, they killed Talisman Master Shen, let's fight them to the end!"

Ding Yijin, staring at the Spirit Pool, seemed deep in thought.

"Seventh brother, calm down. Talisman Master Shen has always been cautious, he won't fall that easily."

"Big brother! My dear big brother! Talisman Master Shen is the savior of over ten people in our clan!"

Ding Yixuan urgently said, "If we make no move, how will our clansmen see us?"

"How will the outside world see our Ding Family?"

Ding Yijin sighed heavily.

"Seventh Brother is right. Elder Brother, you're overthinking this!"

"Let's go! Let's meet them!"

...

Beside the Spirit Pool of the Second-class Mansion.

Liu Wangjing gazed at the dried-up Spirit Pool.

The pool's water had been evaporated by the bombardment of Golden Light Spirit Arrows.

However, at the bottom of the Spirit Pool, a Dark River entrance was revealed, with water still flowing gently.

"Escaped with Water Escape?"

"Damn! Why is there a Dark River here?"

Behind him, he heard a whooshing sound.

"Junior Brother Liu, who exactly is this person? Why is he so difficult to deal with?"

"Senior Brother You, I also don't know this person's background. According to those below, he seems to have been a Talisman Master living in Cyan Dragon Bay, deeply connected to the Ding Family."

"For someone so formidable, his origins must be extraordinary. Junior Brother Liu, you've acted too recklessly. You must investigate clearly first!"

Beside him, You Moucai shook his head, a bit worried in his heart.

Shen Xuan's strength was truly astonishing.

Despite being only at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, he easily defeated Liu Wangjing.

Under the Market Array, he could also escape unharmed.

Though it was said that the Cyan Dragon Bay Market Array was only connected to half of a Tier Two Spirit Vein, it was still not something a mere Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator could withstand.

"If he's a loose cultivator, that's one thing. I'm just afraid he's a disciple of a major sect. If so, you and I will be in big trouble!"

The Red Rainbow Sect is only a medium-level sect.

Bullying a Foundation Establishment Clan like the Ding Family is not a problem.

But offending a major sect would be disastrous.

A significant compensation in Spirit Stones would become inevitable.

There's no need to cede territory because the Spirit Veins of the Red Rainbow Sect aren't even worth looking at by major sects!

You Moucai had been stationed outside the market for many years.

He was aware of the behavior of the Law Enforcement Team under his command.

Before, he always turned a blind eye.

The benefits the Law Enforcement Team extorted were shared with him.

This time, things were handled a bit too crudely.

They bumped into a hard nut.

"Senior Brother You, don't worry! Our investigation was thorough. This person's name is Shen Xuan, and he left Cyan Dragon Bay seventy years ago!"

"Somehow, he established his Dao Foundation!"

"Forget major sects, even sects like ours wouldn't accept such an elderly Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator."

You Moucai thought for a moment.

Liu Wangjing made a good point.

Sect resources are tight, even Direct Disciples vie fiercely for them.

No point wasting them on elderly Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators with no potential.

"Let's hope so!"

For some reason, You Moucai felt a lingering unease.

Just then, a disciple of the Red Rainbow Sect hurriedly approached from behind.

"Elder You, Elder Liu, the Ding brothers are challenging us outside the market!"

...

Outside the Cyan Dragon Bay Market.

You Moucai and Liu Wangjing faced off against the brothers Ding Yijin and Ding Yixuan.

"Ding Yijin, how dare you! The two sects already agreed, the great road leads to heaven, each walking their own way, the well water doesn't mix with the river water! If you apologize, perhaps I'll forgive you!"

Liu Wangjing shouted loudly, his voice resounding through the entire Cyan Dragon Bay Market.

Ding Yixuan stepped forward and shouted, "Cyan Dragon Bay is our Ding Family's ancestral land!"

"Your Red Rainbow Sect acts tyrannically, forcibly occupying our Ding Family ancestral land, an unforgivable sin!"

"Today, you even dare to conceive murderous thoughts, and kill our Ding Family's friend, Cyan Cloud Sect's True Master Disciple Shen the Talisman Master; such acts cannot be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao!"

"We two brothers are enforcing justice for the heavens. If you surrender, we can spare you."

Upon hearing this, You Moucai's face turned pale, casting a harsh glance at Liu Wangjing.

They truly had no idea that Shen Xuan was a True Master Disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect.

"Turning black and white upside down, despicable and shameless, what Shen the Talisman Master, we've never even met him! You Ding Family only know how to falsely accuse!"

At this point, Liu Wangjing was not going to admit anything.

Ding Yixuan smirked instead of getting angry.

He had never seen someone so shameless.

"Seventh Brother, there's no need to speak with a dead man!"

Ding Yijin sneered, "We're all Sect Foundation Establishment here, let's not lose our dignity. Two against two, let's settle both victory and life or death without involving the innocent, how about it?"

Liu Wangjing was eager to try, but You Moucai waved his hand.

"Right and wrong, the two sects will deal with it. We have other matters, so we won't accompany you this time!"

After speaking, You Moucai signaled to Liu Wangjing.

Both flew into the right side of the market simultaneously.

"Senior Brother You, why not engage in magical combat, are you truly afraid of these two brothers?"

"Speak carefully! Junior Brother Liu, you and I have come this far, it's not been easy!"

"That Ding Yixuan, we can forget. But Ding Yijin, he's killed Bai Xinghe before. And Shen Xuan isn't dead. In the end, it's just an apology; there's no need for a life-or-death struggle!"

"Senior Brother You is right. But the Ding brothers are so arrogant, it's infuriating!"

Outside the market.

Ding Yixuan and Ding Jiajin looked at each other.

The brothers hadn't expected the usually domineering Red Rainbow Sect Foundation Establishment Elders to back down today.

They, trying to break through the Market Array, had no chance.

Even though this Market Array was only supported by half a Tier Two Spirit Vein.

At this moment, a streak of light flew towards them at high speed.

"It's Shen the Talisman Master!"

In the sky, Shen Xuan was riding on the Silver-winged Python, soaring through clouds and mist.

He had followed the water from the Spirit Pool Dark River to the Longze River using Water Control.

Once he emerged from the Longze River, he summoned the Silver-winged Python Corpse Beast, speeding over.

He had never suffered such a loss!

He still had many techniques unexhibited, the Market Array's Golden Light Spirit Arrows couldn't bother him.

But if he got entangled with those Golden Light Spirit Arrows, the losses would be significant.

For him, magical combat is just consuming Spirit Stones.

If he didn't vent this anger, his mindset wouldn't be clear, potentially forming a Heart Demon!

"Shen the Talisman Master!"

Ding Yijin and Ding Yixuan both stepped forward to welcome him.

"Two Ding friends, please step aside. Let Shen handle some business first, then we'll reminisce!"

Shen Xuan's appearance was quickly sensed by You Moucai, who controlled the Market Array.

"Thankfully, though there's a misunderstanding, he's not dead, so there's room for reconciliation."

You Moucai said to Liu Wangjing.

As soon as he spoke.

A loud "rumbling" sound erupted.

The earth shook.

The market array's Spirit Shield quivered slightly.

Shen Xuan, riding on the Silver-winged Python Corpse Beast, from a high vantage point, cast a Thunder Talisman towards the Cyan Dragon Bay Market.
