Tie Wenda's face was overflowing with pride.

"To be frank with Talisman Master Shen, I have two sons and a daughter, more than a dozen third-generation descendants, and quite a few in the fourth generation already."

The overwhelming sense of happiness filled Tie Wenda's wrinkles.

"Ah!"

Shen Xuan was filled with respect.

"Born before Foundation Establishment?"

"Naturally. Everyone knows how difficult it is to have children after Foundation Establishment!"

No wonder Tie Wenda is so fixated on the Tier Two Spirit Vein.

He has so many blood relatives and descendants.

"At that time, I would like Talisman Master Shen's assistance! Maybe have a word with the sect auction elder."

Shen Xuan's expression became serious.

"This is a top priority for Fellow Daoist Tie; I would be obliged, I will definitely give it my all."

Having blood relatives is beneficial!

Such a person would never betray!

Help is certain.

The effectiveness is not guaranteed.

"Talisman Master Shen, I'll go back and pack, and take these rascals to move to Qing Yun City first!"

"Good. Move quickly."

"Rest assured, I understand."

Tie Wenda was truly a smart man.

After Shen Xuan leaves Cyan Yang Prefecture, he'll have no backing.

In the past, under Shen Xuan's banner, he roamed the boundary of the Dao-Demon blockade and earned quite a lot of Spirit Stones.

He also offended quite a few people.

There were countless jealous people.

Now that the backing is leaving Cyan Yang Prefecture.

Of course, he's better off leaving sooner rather than later.

Once Tie Wenda left.

Shen Xuan became busy.

For the Spirit Plants like Thunder Sound Bamboo, Cyan Sea Spiritual Clam, the Nine-Layered Array in the Rain Listening Pavilion, multiple Spirit Locking Arrays, and so on, he had to personally sort them out.

Su Xue'Er was only at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, without the capability.

Additionally, there was an important person.

It was the Nether Cultivator Li Ruyi, who was cooperating with him.

Under the Fragrant Locust Tree, Shen Xuan said, "Fellow Daoist Li, we are returning to the sect!"

This three-thousand-year-old Fragrant Locust Tree, he spent a lot of effort to purchase and transplant, it's a pity.

"Oh. When are we leaving?"

"The day after tomorrow!"

"Ruyi understands!"

Li Ruyi didn't ask more questions.

According to their previous agreement, wherever Shen Xuan went, he would take her.

Li Ruyi only needed to focus on alchemy and cultivation.

For all other matters, she doesn't concern herself.

...

The Dao-Demon conflict in Cyan Yang Prefecture has reached a temporary balance.

He Zhengming, leading fellow members of Cyan Cloud Sect and joined by the clan cultivators and loose cultivators, stood against the Blood Spirit Sect demon cultivators like Wu Yulan and Hou Feifan, along the blockade line.

There was a sense of seeking order amidst chaos.

This also confirmed Shen Xuan's judgment.

Such frontier prefectures, Cyan Cloud Sect doesn't really care for.

As long as the battle doesn't collapse and affect the core area, it's insignificant.

Some Demon Sect spies infiltrated into the heartland of Cyan Cloud Sect, gathering intelligence, sabotaging secretly, and subverting some small and medium cultivation clans.

For a jurisdiction of thousands of miles under Cyan Cloud Sect, it's just a minor ailment, not worth worrying about.

Next, Shen Xuan, together with Su Xue'Er, began packing the valuable items from the Rain Listening Pavilion.

Thunder Sound Bamboo, Cyan Sea Spiritual Clam, over twenty Tier Two Spirit Plants, Array Flags…

Two days later, everything was packed up.

Li Ruyi was also hidden back in the Soul Nourishing Wood, suspended at Shen Xuan's waist.

The most valuable left in the Rain Listening Pavilion was that three-thousand-year-old Fragrant Locust Tree.

If sold, it could fetch three to five hundred Spirit Stones.

On the morning of the third day.

Riding the Red-winged Snake, Shen Xuan, and Su Xue'Er on the Silver Celestial Horse, left the Rain Listening Pavilion and headed towards the gate of the Su Clan Territory.

"Please wait, Talisman Master Shen. The Clan Elders, upon hearing about your departure, all wish to come see you off."

The Su Clan elder guarding the array showed a very respectful attitude.

Yet, he showed no intention of opening the Mountain Protection Array immediately.

"Are you trying to confine me?"

The guard elder was shocked and hurriedly bowed in gesture.

"I wouldn't dare! Talisman Master Shen overstates it!"

"The Su Clan Elders all wish to see you off, with no intention of confinement!"

Shen Xuan sneered coldly.

For the sake of his master, he didn't intend to argue with the Su Family.

Unexpectedly, the Su Family didn't know how to appreciate it.

Daring to waste his time.

At this point.

He no longer wished to play charades with the Su Family!

Neither did he want the Su Family to use his name.

"Don't say I'm being unkind! I'll give you half an incense stick's time."

"If you still don't open the array after that, I'll blow up your Mountain Protection Array!"

Shen Xuan's tone was harsh.

"Talisman Master Shen, please don't get angry, I'll urge them again!"

The guard elder dared not ask more, and hastily left a message in the communication.

Time flew fast.

As it was nearing the end of the incense stick's time.

Five Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Su Family appeared together.

"Talisman Master Shen! It's a misunderstanding!"

Su Huaijing, the only one with some acquaintance, was at the forefront.

"Su Huaijing, spare the idle talk! Open the array!"

Su Huaijing was stunned.

The words of persuasion he was full of suddenly left him speechless.

"Talisman Master Shen, hasn't your master's order for you to guard Feiyu Mountain for thirty years not yet expired?"

Behind him, Su Huaijing couldn't help but speak up.

With this remark, Su Huaijing's heart suddenly sank.

Things are going wrong!

Su Huaijing acted rashly!

Using the master's order to pressure Shen Xuan.

Little did he know, estrangement cannot come between intimacy.

Su Huaijing's dissatisfaction with speaking those words, it would only backfire.

Sure enough.

Shen Xuan's gaze fell on Su Huaijing, with a slight frown in his brow.

"How did Su Jiayuan relay the message?"

"Didn't she tell you not to appear before me?"

"Otherwise, I'll break your leg!"

"I always mean what I say. If I say I'll break your leg, I will definitely break your leg!"

With these words.

The Su Family cultivators all changed their expressions.

In the presence of five Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Su Family, saying he will break their Patriarch's leg.

This Shen Xuan is too arrogant!

"What nonsense is Talisman Master Shen spouting! Does he want to engage in magical combat with the patriarch?"

"How is that possible? Wasn't Master Gu Feng ordering him to support our Su Family?"

"Talisman Master Shen obviously doesn't take our Su Family seriously!"

The Su Family cultivators present were discussing incessantly, none of them were not surprised.

Although the reason is unclear.

Shen Talisman Master's disdain for the Su Patriarch was evident.

Su Huaijing looked at Shen Xuan in disbelief.

He had thought it was just Shen Xuan's angry words.

Unexpectedly, in front of everyone, including the Su Clan elders and numerous clan members, Shen Xuan reiterated it.

In doing so, no one had room to retreat.

Su Huaijing forcibly suppressed the unease in his heart and barely managed a smile as he said: "Talisman Master Shen, don't joke. I believe I have never done anything wrong to you."

"Such nonsense!"

Shen Xuan's figure transformed into a shadow, arriving directly before Su Huaijing.

In his sight, Shen Xuan lifted his fist with the force of thunder, striking fiercely at Su Huaijing's cheek.

He struck as soon as he spoke, without any hesitation.

However, Su Huaijing and the others saw that Shen Xuan had not summoned any magical treasures, did not activate talismans, nor called upon corpse beasts.

He simply fought empty-handed, which instead made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Huaijing was at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Shen Xuan was only at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Limited by cultivation techniques, spiritual power, magical treasures, corpse beasts, talismans, etc., Su Huaijing's combat power was slightly inferior to Shen Xuan's.

But solely comparing physical strength, Su Huaijing, who was one small realm higher, should have the advantage.

The robustness of the flesh body is more influenced by realm cultivation.

However, the scene that followed left them dumbstruck.

With a loud "boom",

Su Huaijing, trying to fend off with both hands, was hit so hard that he flew back over a dozen meters.

His feet dug into the ground, creating a trench several inches deep.

Before everyone could react,

lightning flashed across Shen Xuan's body, and he thundered to Su Huaijing.

He kicked faster than lightning.

"Ah!"

Su Huaijing let out a miserable wail.

His right leg was deformed and twisted into an unbelievable angle by Shen Xuan's kick.

The bones inside were evidently broken.

It was too fast!

From Shen Xuan throwing his punch to breaking Su Huaijing's leg, only two breaths had passed.

Everyone present was stunned.

The dignified patriarch of the Su family in Feiyun Mountain, at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment—

Was reduced to having his leg broken in just two breaths by Shen Xuan, empty-handed, without using any magical treasures or talismans, relying solely on physical strength.

They didn't know that this was already Shen Xuan showing mercy!

[Iron Bone], [Critical Strike], [Infinite Strength]...

These were just basic physical skills.

If Shen Xuan used [Sharp Teeth and Fangs] and [Devouring All Things], he could easily tear Su Huaijing into pieces!

Su Huaijing endured the pain, took out a pill, and swallowed it quickly.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a broken leg is not a significant issue.

With proper rest, it would recover in a few days.

Only, being beaten so badly by Shen Xuan in front of so many clan members was humiliating.

Su Huaijing stood up slowly, his face cold.

"Unconvinced?"

"How about you all come at me together?"

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

A bunch of useless people!

Even if the Su family mobilizes all five of their Foundation Establishment cultivators, they are no match for him.

Shen Xuan had supported the Su family for twenty-one years.

Conscientious and diligent, he had gone to great lengths.

He eradicated demon cultivators for the Su family, cultivated talisman masters.

He shared the production of Thunder Talismans with the Su family.

Not only did the Su family show no gratitude.

They even sought to exploit him further.

This grievance, if left unvoiced, blocked his mind.

It might even give rise to a heart demon, affecting his path.

Su Huaijing gritted his teeth.

He didn't dare to look at Shen Xuan again.

"Activate the array!"

"All members of the Su family, bid farewell to Talisman Master Shen!"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

With deep disdain.

"Not going to fight?"

"Then I'm leaving, no need to see me off."

"By the way, remember my words. Su Huaijing, in the future, do not appear before me."

"Otherwise, whenever I see you, I will hit you."

"Next time, it won't be as simple as just breaking your legs!"

Ignoring the fiery gaze from Su Huaijing,

Shen Xuan leisurely walked out of the Su Clan Territory with Su Xue'Er.

"Feiyun Mountain! What a fine place!"

"A pity, ruined by a bunch of fools!"

Breaking Su Huaijing's leg was but a small matter.

As for Su Huaijing's hatred.

Hehe.

A waste who finds it difficult to break through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment is of no concern to Shen Xuan.

If not for fear of punishment from Master Gu Feng, Shen Xuan could easily cripple his cultivation.

...

Valley of Beasts.

At the entrance of the Zhou Clan Territory.

This time, Su Xue'Er sensibly led the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse to rest under a large tree a hundred feet away.

The White Lotus Immortal flew towards them in a streak of light.

"Shen Lang, why haven't you come in?"

"I won't be going in. This time, I'm here to bid you farewell."

A deep sadness emerged on the pretty face of the White Lotus Immortal.

"Shen Lang, are you leaving?"

"Yes, returning to the sect."

"Weren't you supposed to return in eight years?"

"Things have changed."

Looking at this familiar face, Shen Xuan couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental.

If he claimed to have no feelings for the White Lotus Immortal,

then he would truly wrong himself.

The White Lotus Immortal was one of the top three most important people to him on the Profound Origin Continent.

Her importance is second only to his wife, Ding Yuyao, and junior sister, Qin Yuehan.

From their initial meeting and acquaintance to their mutual understanding and companionship.

He had a very pleasant time with the White Lotus Immortal.

If not for the pursuit of eternal life and enlightenment.

He would have seriously considered marrying the White Lotus Immortal and spending his life peacefully.

His Dao heart is as hard as iron.

Shen Xuan could only part with her painfully.

"By the way, I promised you that after you break through, I would help you refine a Tier Two Middle Grade corpse beast."

"Now there's no time."

Shen Xuan gently wiped away the White Lotus Immortal's tears.

He held the White Lotus Immortal's hand.

Gently placed it on the forehead of the Red-winged Snake Corpse Beast.

"White Lotus, I will fulfill my promise to you!"

"This Red-winged Snake Corpse Beast is my early gift for your breakthrough!"
