The night is deep and Liangcheng is quiet.
The atmosphere in the Shentu clan was extremely depressing.
The one at the top looked at a middle-aged man who was about forty or fifty years old. His temples were slightly white, and his face was calm and intimidating. He was the current leader of the Shentu clan, Shentu Youzhi's son, Shentu Wuyan.
The person at the bottom is also a woman who looks about forty years old, but in fact their real age is much older. The people sitting in the entire inner hall vary greatly in appearance, including young, middle-aged, and old people. , and most of them are people of the same generation.
Even though Shentu Kun was in the corner, his presence in the inner hall symbolized the high status of the son-in-law.
He silently looked at Shen Tuxuan in the hall who was still in a sluggish state after being revived by the Heavenly Master, and sneered secretly in his heart.
Shen Tuxuan's injury was more serious than imagined.
A Celestial Master is just a Celestial Master, not a Celestial Master above the level of Baolu, so it will be difficult for Shen Tuxuan to fully recover in a short period of time.
Although the foundation was not broken, there was a big problem with Shen Tuxuan's state of mind.
In the final analysis, being protected too well, experiencing setbacks for the first time and almost losing his life was something Shen Tuxuan could not bear.
"What's that person's name?"
Shen Tuxuan looked pale and shook his head silently.
Shentu Wuyan frowned and looked at him.
According to Shentu Xunfen's description, it was not too surprising that Shentu Xuan could be defeated so miserably. He was attacked repeatedly, and a martial artist punched at close range. Even if his level was higher than the opponent's, his lack of experience made him fall behind from the beginning. Being at a disadvantage and not finding a chance to counterattack, it is indeed normal for him to be so seriously injured.
It's just that no one can accept this.
Shentu's layout for decades has allowed the more outstanding young people among the De clan to occupy a place in various parts of the Sui Kingdom. This is to ensure that the Shentu clan can continue for a long time and even regain its glory in the Li Dynasty.
The best among the younger generation is particularly important to the Shentu clan.
Now Shentu has gone out and never returned, and no trace of the royal descendants of the Li Dynasty has been found. Shentu Huang, who served as the Demon Suppressor of the Qingxuan Department, has died again. It can be said that the Shentu family has withstood successive blows.
Therefore, Shen Tuxuan's matter became more important.
Originally it was just a matter of recruiting a son-in-law, and this has been the case since ancient times. Elders like them didn't take it to heart, but after what happened, Shentu Wuyan was inevitably a little dissatisfied with Shentu Jun who had fallen in love with Yu Xichao and caused problems.
"You are a little too arbitrary. You should think about how old you are. Shentu Kun has only been in the government for two and a half years, and you have set your sights on someone younger. Even though Yu Xichao has good cultivation qualifications, you should give Xiang Xin more attention. For a young man like En, what use can you get Yu Xichao for? Are you going to waste him again?"
Shen Tujun was a little afraid of Shentu Wuyan, so he didn't refute, but his face looked a little ugly.
She glanced at Shen Tu Kun in the corner, then looked at Shen Tuxuan with a dejected face, and said in a deep voice: "I will take action personally this time, and we will talk about the rest after we capture the person first."
Shentu Wuyan said: "You are just a martial artist. The proprietress of Chunfeng Yidu Inn can easily injure Xuan'er with a heavy weight. Even if Xuan'er is unprepared, at least a martial artist of the third level or above can do it, let alone a sneak attack on Xuan'er. You're a monk, and I don't want you to come back beaten again."
He didn't even look at Shen Tujun.
As an elder of the second generation, Shen Tujun couldn't afford to lose face if he was humiliated in front of someone.
But as the leader of the clan, it is not a matter of honor to deal with a young monk and a female warrior. How to deal with the other party is after arresting the person. If the arrest is carried out in a big way, the matter spreads, and the Shentu clan will be in trouble. The prestige of Beiquan County fell.
To ensure that the person can be caught as quickly as possible without any accidents, the person who comes forward must be a peak monk in the cave world, and it is best to send a martial artist.
Shen Tuxuan was teased because he had little experience, otherwise he would never have lost.
He looked at Shen Tujun and said, "Let Shen Tuqi go with you. Don't do unnecessary things and just capture the person."
Shen Tu Qi is also a second-generation person who has reached the peak of Dongming ten years ago. Since he was a child, he dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with a sword, so he often travels around the world and is somewhat famous in the world. Then there is Shen Tu Jun, the fourth Jing Wufu, no matter what he thinks, it is impossible for him to have any more problems. 33
Although Shen Tujun had some ideas, in the end he just nodded silently.
...
Chunfeng Yidu Inn.
When it was time to watch, Liangcheng was completely quiet.
The proprietress was holding her cheeks with her hands at the counter, her eyes were sleepy. If she hadn't been worried that the inn would be destroyed later, she would have gone to bed long ago.
Yu Xichao was also a little tired. Before the hundred-day foundation building was completed, he was not much different from ordinary people in all aspects. He was injured again, and after enduring until now, he really couldn't hold on any longer.
"It's already so late. People from the Shentu clan won't come until tomorrow, right?"
Jiang Wang lay quietly on the wicker chair and said: "That boy almost died. The people of the Shentu clan must be mad. How can they have the patience to wait until tomorrow? If you are sleepy, you can sleep first. When the people come, we will fight. You You will wake up naturally."
Yu Xichao really couldn't bear it, so he nodded and really went to sleep.
The landlady didn't stop Yu Xichao from going upstairs. After all, he had a lot of gold in his arms. Although it was at a different price, it wouldn't be enough to charge the hotel another bill.
Soon another hour passed.
The landlady was already half asleep, and then she was awakened by the sudden sound of the bell. In other words, the sound of the bell had already appeared, from far to near, but it did not prevent the landlady from waking up at a certain moment, and then she became panicked.
There was no one outside the inn except Jiang Wang, who was lying on a wicker chair.
Jiang Wang calmly raised his eyes and looked at the eaves next to the collapsed wall in the alley opposite the inn. There was a figure standing silently. The bell hanging on his waist swayed in the wind, making a crisp sound.
The man was dressed simply and had an unshaven beard. He was about forty years old. His eyes were slightly blurred, but there was an extremely cold light inside.
"It's quite interesting."
Jiang Wang smiled, feeling that he had waited so long.
Shen Tuqi looked down at Jiang Wang silently, his voice a little confused, "Why do I feel that you are familiar?"
Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows, could it be someone who knew him?
But he has indeed never met Shentu Qi. The most likely connection is with Wuguan Zaoxue based on his appearance. However, good-looking does not necessarily mean it is Mr. Jiang. If Shentu Qi has doubts, it only means that he is more familiar with Shentu Xuan. Rumors about Mr. Jiang.
It just seemed that Shen Tuqi couldn't think of it completely.
After all, there is no reason for the weak-minded Mr. Jiang to suddenly appear in Beiquan Liangcheng.
Of course Jiang Wang had no intention of reminding him. Regardless of whether it was Shentu Huang or Shentu Youzhi, the former except Liu Xuanming or a very few people might have guessed, and the latter only knew about Li Shenyuan, Su Changluo and Shen Danya. There were very few, but that was not what Jiang Wang cared about.
Worried about revealing his identity, Shen Tuqi did not dare to take action again.
Jiang Wang changed the subject and said: "After two consecutive times, you still came alone. I think you are quite confident."
Shen Tu stood up and floated down to the alley, accompanied by the clear sound of bells, which was quite permeable in the long and quiet night.
He said expressionlessly: "Actually, there are two people, although it is true that one of me is enough."
Jiang Wang looked outside the alley, where a carriage was driving directly.
Shen Tujun did not show up in the carriage, nor did she say anything. After all, she was just a martial artist. If she lifted the curtain and saw Jiang Wang's face at this moment, she might have other thoughts.
Jiang Wang smiled and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me again."
Shen Tuqi frowned and said, "You are just Dongming, how dare you say such a thing?"
Jiang Wang smiled and said: "Don't think of me as an ordinary cave ghost. There is a high probability that I will fall into trouble, so you have to go all out when you take action. Don't have any thoughts of being underestimated. This is my very serious advice."
Shentu narrowed his eyes at him and said, "You are an interesting person."
Shentu Wuyan wanted them to directly capture Jiang Wang, Yu Xichao and the innkeeper's wife. Shentu Juan might have other ideas, but Shentu Qi did not have the slightest intention to talk nonsense at first, because of the inexplicable sense of familiarity. Let him say one sentence, and the next sentence will come naturally.
Having said this, Shen Tuqi had no intention of continuing the conversation, "Then I'll do my best as you said."
Jiang Wang smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it."
Shen Tuqi had a strange look on his face, and it was difficult for him not to want to say another sentence, but he didn't say anything after all. He lightly touched the bell hanging on his waist with his right index finger. As the bell sounded, the extremely powerful Huang Tingqi surged out, covering the entire spring breeze.
There were creaking sounds everywhere in the inn, and it was crumbling.
The landlady was frightened.
She asked pleadingly: "Can you go somewhere else to fight?"
Jiang Wang ignored her.
Shen Tuqi naturally ignored her.
Jiang Wang looked calm and said: "We are both at the peak of Dongming. Sure enough, our cultivation is much deeper than that of the young man before us. But if that's the case, I will still be very disappointed. How about you two come together?"
Shen Tu Qi's cultivation level is not as good as Shen Tu Huang's. Jiang Wang thinks the probability is not very high whether he can bring out the power of the Kingdom of God.
Shentu Youzhi loves Shentu Huang very much. In addition to being his direct grandson, there is also the reason why Shentu Huang is among the best in cultivation among his peers and even the previous generation. Although the younger one may not be worse, he has not grown up after all.
So far, none of the Shentu clan seems to have particularly high qualifications, and Jiang Wang has no idea why.
But there is someone in the Shentu clan who can serve in the Xiaoguo Army of the Divine City and has a high position. Perhaps that person is the real top one.
Jiang Wang said it in an understatement, which was undoubtedly a bit humiliating to Shen Tuqi's ears.
Even Shen Tujun in the carriage had a cold face.
After all, he often traveled around the world as a monk. Shen Tuqi was not swayed by his emotions, but his expression was slightly cold. "You can continue to lie down peacefully later and say these words again."
Jiang Wang moved to a more comfortable position on the wicker chair, stretched out his hand and said, "Then start your performance quickly."
Some people died, but not completely...
