Chapter 986: 895 Warning to the Yang Family (Request for Monthly Votes)

Shen Chan’s eyes emitted a blinding golden light that landed on the five-colored light screen.

The spiritual light of the five-colored light screen dimmed, producing a wisp of blue smoke, and some of the five-colored runes dissipated.

Seeing this scene, the Five Thunder Divine Monarch and Master Vajra were shocked.

Shen Long’s Spirit Insect is so powerful? It can weaken the power of the formation?

Shen Ao’s body radiated blinding white light, and his hands transformed into massive dragon claws, striking the five-colored light screen, which then caved in and dimmed.

Shen Chan’s eyes surged with golden light, and the spiritual light of the five-colored light screen visibly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, shattering like bubbles, and a hole several zhang wide appeared in front of them.

"Taoist Friend Shen, your Spirit Insect can weaken the power of formations, I’m truly astonished," said the Five Thunder Divine Monarch in admiration.

"Having cultivated for many years, I have seen plenty of Eighth Rank Spirit Insects, but even their Divine Skills are no match for your Spirit Insect," Master Vajra praised.

"The formation has been in operation for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, its power is almost depleted, that’s why they could break the restrictions so quickly," Shen Long humbly said.

He was deliberately displaying his own strength, letting the Five Thunder Divine Monarch and Master Vajra understand his capabilities.

"If it were an ordinary Eighth Order formation, Taoist Friend Shen’s Spirit Insect would have broken the formation by now, right? No need for a second person’s help," the Five Thunder Divine Monarch analyzed.

"Let’s go in and take the items! It’s better to leave this place sooner," Shen Long said.

Chu Buyu made a gesture with his spell, and the Qianhuo Boat flew into the cave, quickly arriving in a cave about an acre in size.

The stone walls were rough and uneven, and scattered on the ground were a Five-Colored Formation Disk and a red robe; no skeletons were seen.

Shen Jiu lifted the red robe and found a red Storage Bracelet. With a flick of his wrist, a sweep of red radiance added a large pile of items to the ground, among which there was a Nine-Colored Jade Stone emitting a faint spiritual light, along with a large quantity of Refining Materials.

"Nine-Colored Agate Stone! Five Thunder Divine Crystal!"

Master Vajra and the Five Thunder Divine Monarch were thrilled.

The Five Thunder Divine Monarch’s gaze fell on a five-colored Crystal Stone, on which one could see lightning-like Runes, naturally formed.

There were as many as eight Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures, along with many Refining Materials.

"Taoist Friend Shen, could you give me the Five Thunder Divine Crystal?" the Five Thunder Divine Monarch asked with anticipation.

"Being able to break the restrictions and retrieve treasures together means we are friends. You won’t be shortchanged for your share," Shen Long said as he gave the Five Thunder Divine Crystal and the Nine-Colored Agate Stone to the Five Thunder Divine Monarch and Master Vajra, and also divided among them two Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures each and two hundred million Top Grade Spirit Stones, keeping the rest for himself.

Benefits were shared, and risks borne together.

"If there’s ever anything where you could use the assistance of this Monarch, just say the word, Taoist Friend Shen," the Five Thunder Divine Monarch stated, patting his chest.

"I owe you both a great debt. Without you, this little monk would have perished. If you ever need my help in the future, just ask," Master Vajra promised.

Shen Long smiled faintly and said, "With such gracious words from both Daoist friends, we are very pleased. Let’s leave this place first!"

Chu Buyu made another gesture with his spell, and the Qianhuo Boat shone with a red light, leaving the place.

In the Qingxuan Realm, within the Qingxuan Clan.

Inside a garden filled with the sound of birds and fragrance of flowers, Lai Chang and a ruddy-faced elder in a red robe were sitting in a Green Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

"Lai Ting’s Life-Bound Lamp has been extinguished? With her strength, she could have escaped if she couldn’t win, right?" the red-robed elder asked puzzledly.

Lai Yan, Mahayana Mid Stage.

"She may have encountered several Mahayana Cultivators in a joint attack, or possibly a True Spirit. I’m worried she was killed by members of the Yang Family," Lai Chang said gravely.

The Yang Family had both the motive and capability to commit the act; otherwise, Lai Ting wouldn’t have been killed so easily.

"Dispatch people to thoroughly investigate. We must find out the truth. If the Yang Family dared to kill Lai Ting, it means they’re ready to turn against us. We must prepare in advance and strike first," Lai Yan said, his face filled with murderous intent.

Lai Chang nodded and said, "I have already sent Lai Yue and the others to investigate. I hope we can find out the cause of Lai Ting’s death."

······

In the Tianxuan Realm, the Yang Family.

A secluded manor, where Yang Yiwei and Yang Yixin were sitting in a green Stone Pavilion, talking about something.

Yang Yiwei took out a Messaging Plate that shimmered with Spiritual Light, imbued a spell into it, and a respectful male voice rang out: "Patriarch, Senior Shen and Senior Chu from Qianling Sect have come to visit, saying there is an important matter to discuss with you?"

"I have no dealings with the Mahayana Cultivators from the Qianling Sect though!"

Yang Yiwei was slightly startled.

"Visitors are guests. Shen Long and Chu Buyu are both talented in their crafts. Invite them here for a chat! Perhaps they have stumbled upon some great items to exchange with us."

Yang Yixin advised.

"Have them come to my residence. I will chat with them."

Yang Yiwei ordered.

"Yes, Patriarch."

The man agreed.

Yang Yiwei put away the Messaging Plate, and brewed another pot of Spiritual Tea.

Before long, Shen Long and Chu Buyu walked in.

"I am Shen Long, and this is my wife Chu Buyu. We greet the two Taoist Friends."

Shen Long introduced himself.

"I am Yang Yiwei. I have long heard of the reputations of Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu. Please, have a seat."

Yang Yiwei greeted them warmly, inviting them to sit down.

"It has been many years, Taoist Friend Shen has ascended into the Mahayana Mid Stage! Congratulations!"

Yang Yixin expressed his envy with a full face.

"My Life-Bound Spirit Bird has ascended to the Eighth Rank, saving me tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, only then could I ascend to the Middle Stage so quickly."

Shen Long explained.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, try the exclusive Spiritual Tea of our Yang Family, the Seven Stars Jade Robe, which has the effect of strengthening the Divine Soul."

Yang Yiwei picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea each for Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

Shen Long was not polite. He took a sip from the teacup, and a small stream of Divine Soul Power surged into his Sea of Souls.

"Not bad, good tea."

Shen Long praised.

"I have long heard of the renown of Seven Stars Jade Robe. Tasting it today, the reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Chu Buyu also praised.

"If Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu like it, feel free to drink more," said Yang Yiwei warmly.

"Taoist Friend Yang, we came this time to inform you of something. Your Yang Family’s relative, Taoist Friend Lin, was killed by the Qingxuan Clan. The Qingxuan Clan suspects that it was your family who leaked information, resulting in the escape of the Dark Qilin."

Shen Long broached the pressing matter.

Shen Jiu consumed the Nascent Soul of Lai Ting, acquiring the information Lai Ting held.

Hearing this, the expressions of Yang Yiwei and Yang Yixin changed.

"Taoist Friend Shen, where did you learn of these matters?" Yang Yiwei inquired.

"We killed Lai Ting of the Qingxuan Clan in Zhuixian Cave Heaven. Only then did we learn these secrets. We’ve come specifically to warn you, hoping to be of assistance to your family."

Shen Long said.

He did this also out of a consideration for his own safety, as the power of the Qingxuan Clan was too great, and the Qianling Sect needed allies.

"Taoist Friend Shen, is Lai Ting’s Nascent Soul in your possession? Could you perhaps show it to us?" Yang Yiwei asked politely.

"Her Nascent Soul has been eaten by my Spirit Birds. My Spirit Birds are somewhat special; by consuming an enemy’s Nascent Soul, they can learn all the information the enemy held."

Shen Long explained.

Yang Yiwei and Yang Yixin furrowed their brows tightly. Without evidence from Shen Long, they found it hard to believe.
