Chapter 549 - 233: Gains on All Sides (Part 4)
For so many years, there hasn’t been any news about him from Yangnao Land.
This proves that he is most likely no longer in Yangnao Land.
To the north is Danzhou, where the old man with a conical hat at the Nascent Soul Realm guards the border, making it unlikely that Shen Chongxu could pass through.
Needless to say, to the west of Yangnao Land, while the east is an endless ocean.
It seems the only possible place is the Southern Border.
"Grandson, do you want to try to investigate?"
Shen Chongming asked.
"No need."
Shen Yuan immediately stopped him.
This matter reminded him of Shen Wenyan from back then, had he not pitied Zhao Xuan for dying of heartbreak, and rashly instructed Tingfeng Valley to investigate his news in Danzhou.
The subsequent events wouldn’t have occurred.
As his understanding on the Path of Great Derivation deepened over the years, he realized that everything in this world has cause and effect, and destiny.
Shen Chongxu, being his grandson, having disappeared for many years, did worry him.
But as long as the White Jade Turtle Shell assured that his life was unharmed, that was enough.
Interfering rashly might tamper with his destiny.
"In that case, grandson will take his leave first."
Shen Chongming cupped his hands and left the Black Water Pavilion.
By the window, Shen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Southern Border, the stars and moon in the night sky reflecting more brightly in his deep eyes.
...
A pair of slightly blood-red eyes gazed at the night sky, with moon and starlight twinkling in the eyes.
Hair loose, a figure in a black robe with golden patterns stood by the window, exuding an aura of cold arrogance.
Suddenly, a streak of blood-red light cut through the night sky from afar, speeding towards Qingting City.
Behind that blood-red light, followed a bright golden light, the two streaks of light chasing each other through the night sky, interrupting Shen Chongxu’s thoughts.
"Master, a pesky little girl has locked onto us!"
A charming voice echoed in his mind, Shen Chongxu’s slightly blood-red eyes narrowed, staring at the golden light in the sky, before taking a strange mask from the desk beside him and putting it on, transforming into a streak of light.
Under the moonlit starry sky, his figure suddenly appeared between the blazing golden light and the blood-red light.
"Move aside!"
Upon his sudden appearance, the golden light slightly hesitated, revealing a girl in a goose-yellow dress holding a golden longsword.
"My friend, you’ve crossed the line; this Qingting City is my Bai Xuan Sect’s territory."
"Flying recklessly in Qingting City’s sky, are you provoking my Bai Xuan Sect?"
The girl in the goose-yellow dress appeared briefly stunned, then suddenly discovered that the blood-red exotic treasure she had been chasing for over a thousand miles had taken a turn from afar and directly merged into Shen Chongxu’s body!
"Is that yours?"
"Very well!"
"Today, whether you belong to Bai Xuan Sect or Black Xuan Sect, daring to unleash an evil artifact upon Fushan Country’s people, this Commandery Princess will definitely slay you!"
While there was unmistakable greed in the girl’s eyes, she still spoke righteously.
The golden longsword in her hand emanated a strong magical artifact aura, with terrifying golden flames igniting along its blade, slashing straight at Shen Chongxu.
"Late Stage of Fetal Breathing?"
Observing the girl’s aura slightly stronger than his own, but evidently not reaching Fetal Breathing Perfection level.
Shen Chongxu roughly guessed her cultivation should be at the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing.
Only the magical robe and magical artifact she wore were both glowing brightly, regarded as top-tier among Middle Grade artifacts.
Commandery Princess...
Recalling the girl’s self-reference earlier, Shen Chongxu deduced that this woman belonged to the Fushan Country’s Imperial Family.
Watching as the girl attacked ferociously, Shen Chongxu promptly formed formulas with his hands, as the spiritual power from heaven and earth surged rapidly, gathering abundant earth attribute spiritual power into sharp stone blades in front!
In the blink of an eye, countless stone blades shot towards the girl like sharp swords!
In mid-air, the girl wielded her golden longsword, slicing waves of sharp sword auras to pulverize the incoming stone blades into dust!
"Hmph!"
"A mere middle-stage Fetal Breathing loose cultivator dares to resist?"
"I advise you to obediently hand over that evil artifact and await punishment from this Commandery Princess."
"Otherwise, I will sever your limbs and hang them in the city to make an example out of you!"
Easily deflecting Shen Chongxu’s move, the girl arrogantly and viciously declared.
Upon hearing her words, Shen Chongxu sneered inwardly.
"A beautiful visage wasted on a heart of a viper and scorpion."
Before his voice faded, his finger technique abruptly changed.
In the void, the dust from the stone blades shattered by the girl suddenly halted its descent, subsequently rushing towards her body from all directions!
These specks moved extremely fast, encircling the girl within moments!
Seeing this, the girl furiously swung her longsword, stirring up the surrounding dust with terrifying sword auras.
However, such attacks inherently had little effect on the minute particles.
Observing this, Shen Chongxu’s lips curled slightly, and his spell changed once again!
The earth attribute spiritual power surged, transforming the dust into hard and sharp stone spikes, swarming towards the girl’s body.
In terms of realm, he was inferior to this Commandery Princess of Fushan Country.
But regarding combat experience, since departing the Shen Family, having journeyed for years to the Southern Border, he had fought countless battles, big and small.
Unlike this foolish girl, yearning to shine like a little sun even at night.
A swarm of sharp stone spikes attacked from all directions, a trace of panic flashed across the girl’s face.
In haste, she summoned her protective spiritual power shield.
