Chapter 204
The Shen family in Lingnan.
Deep in the bamboo forest, in a bamboo building.
Shen Liangcheng sat on the chair expressionlessly. The tea cup in his hand was empty, but he did not put it down.
In the room, several elders of the Shen family also frowned, their eyes full of worry.
"That boy is right," Shen Liangcheng suddenly placed the tea cup on the bamboo table, and a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes:
"The Qingtian Sect's ambition is really big. After harvesting a large amount of resources, Qingtian Sect will find a way to destroy the Feihua Sect and the Huanjian Sect after at most ten years of cultivation."
"When the time comes, it will be the first-rate forces like us who will suffer."
"Either we become a vassal force of Qingtian Sect, or we are destroyed. There is no third way."
The expressions of several elders became more solemn, obviously knowing that Shen Liangcheng's words were not alarmist.
Just when everyone was silent, Shen Luoyan's voice sounded outside the bamboo building:
"Dad, someone from the Qingtian Sect sent a message urging me to go back."
"I won't come back," Shen Liangcheng said calmly to the door:
"Just stay home."
In the yard, Shen Luoyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, father."
After saying that, Shen Luoyan turned and left.
In the bamboo house.
An elder frowned and said: "Girl Luo Yan doesn't return to the Qingtian Sect, which is equivalent to expressing the attitude of our Shen family. Will the Qingtian Sect send people to attack our Shen family?"
Shen Liangcheng shook his head, "Qingtian Sect's attack on our Shen family is equivalent to telling other first-class forces that they will also become the fat meat in Qingtian Sect's mouth."
"Doing that would be equivalent to forcing us, the first-class forces, to join forces."
"Zhuang Busheng is not that stupid."
"On the contrary, the Qingtian Sect has fought very well in these battles," Shen Liangcheng nodded, "Objectively speaking, I really admire Zhuang Bisheng's courage."
An elder frowned for a moment: "This series of layouts does not look like Zhuang Bisheng's style."
"It's his daughter Zhuang Mochou," Shen Liangcheng said softly, "She is the Zhuang Mochou who is known as one of the top ten geniuses in Zhongzhou."
"She entered the Tongtian realm at the age of forty, and now that nearly ten years have passed, that girl's strength has probably improved a lot."
The elders of the Shen family suddenly looked at each other.
"Is it really a foregone conclusion that the Qingtian Sect will unify Qingzhou?"
"That's not necessarily the case," the smile on Shen Liangchen's face slowly dissipated, replaced by a cold look.
"Contact other first-class forces, it's time to form an alliance."
"If we wait for Qingtian Sect to completely digest those resources, our strength will probably increase several times."
"We have to take the initiative."
Having said this, Shen Liangcheng stood up and said, "Let's do it in secret."
After saying that, Shen Liangcheng opened the door and walked out of the bamboo building, and rushed towards Shen Luoyan's residence in a flash.
Shen Luoyan had just walked into her yard, her eyes full of worry.
Shen Yutong, who was practicing his sword, looked puzzled. While swinging his sword, he turned around and said:
"Second sister, what happened to you?"
"Who made you unhappy?"
Shen Luoyan rarely answered Shen Yutong's question, but walked into the bamboo building, poured himself a glass of water and drank it in one gulp.
If you look carefully, Shen Luoyan's white and slender fingers are trembling slightly.
She has stayed in the Qingtian Sect for several years and knows the power of the Qingtian Sect very well.
Although the Shen family is a first-rate force, it is not even a bit inferior to super powers like the Qingtian Sect.
Taking top-level combat power as an example, the strongest member of the Shen family is her father Shen Liangchen, who possesses the strength of the late God King Realm.
Although it is only a small level away from Zhuang Bu Sheng, who is at the peak of the God King Realm, this small level is like a chasm in the sky, as different as clouds and mud.
Shen Luoyan's head was filled with confusion.
She didn't know if there was any way to save her Shen family.
"Daddy, you're here!" Shen Yutong suddenly shouted happily in the yard.
The next moment, Shen Liangcheng was seen walking into the bamboo building.
Shen Yutong ran in, holding Shen Liangcheng's arm, swaying and coquettishly saying:
"Dad, I've been practicing swordplay in this bamboo forest all day, and I'm bored to death."
"Dad, can you take me and my second sister out to play?"
Shen Liangcheng shook his head and said:
"Yutong, you continue practicing your sword. I have something to say to your second sister."
Shen Yutong suddenly became unhappy.
"Dad, what are you saying to your second sister that even I can't listen to?"
Shen Liangcheng was silent for a moment, nodded and said:
"Then you should listen together."
Shen Luoyan said quickly: "Dad, let Yutong practice sword practice."
Shen Liangcheng shook his head, "Luo Yan, your sister is also a member of our Shen family and is no longer a child. There are some things that there is no need to hide from her."
With that said, Shen Liangcheng sat down on the bamboo chair and slowly said:
"Luo Yan, next, you don't have to go to Qingtian Sect and do your best to improve your strength."
"And you Yutong," Shen Liangcheng looked at Shen Yutong and said sincerely:
"Your talent is no worse than that of your second sister. You should also practice hard and strive to make yourself stronger."
No matter how innocent Shen Yutong was, she could tell that something big had happened, and she quickly asked curiously:
"Dad, what happened? If you tell me, I can help you refer to it."
Hearing this, Shen Liangcheng couldn't help laughing, and then his eyes sternly said:
"The Qingtian Sect wanted to become the overlord of Qingzhou and destroyed the Famous Sword Sect, the Yushou Sect, and the Wangshan Sect."
"In the near future, they will definitely take action against our Shen family."
"I plan to form an alliance with other first-rate forces to deal with Qingtian Sect."
Hearing this, Shen Yutong's eyes widened, "Dad, how could the Qingtian Sect deal with our Shen family?"
"Second sister is still one of the geniuses that Qingtian Sect focuses on cultivating!"
Shen Liangcheng shook his head, "Your sister will no longer be a disciple of the Qingtian Sect."
Seeing that Shen Yutong had not recovered yet, Shen Liangcheng suddenly asked Shen Luoyan:
"Can you contact him?"
Shen Luoyan's expression trembled. Of course she knew who her father's 'him' could be besides Xiao Zhan.
Seeing that Shen Luoyan was silent, Shen Liangcheng said slowly:
"He said he wanted to cooperate with our Shen family."
"If you can find him, take your sister to find him and let him prepare a safe place for you to practice well."
Shen Luoyan's eyes were complicated, "Dad, he has a big secret."
"From my personal perspective, I admire him very much and I am very grateful to him."
"But cooperating with him is not necessarily a good thing for our Shen family."
Hearing Shen Luoyan's words, Shen Liangcheng frowned immediately.
"What secret?"
Shen Luoyan shook his head, "I promised him, but I can't say it."
"Yes, you can't tell!" Shen Yutong also echoed: "Dad, you can't ask about him, and my second sister and I won't tell either."
Shen Liangcheng suddenly fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he looked at Shen Luoyan seriously:
"Do you think he can protect you and your sister?"
"Do you trust him?"
Shen Luoyan nodded without any hesitation: "Trust."
"That's no problem," Shen Liangcheng nodded, "Put the cooperation aside for now. If you can find him, take your sister to join him."
Shen Luoyan's eyes turned red, "Dad, I am also a member of the Shen family, and I will not leave."
Seeing that her second sister was crying, Shen Yutong's eyes suddenly turned red: "Dad, I won't leave either."
"I'm not asking you to leave," Shen Liangcheng said solemnly:
"If you stay, you will become the weakness of our Shen family."
"When the time is right, I will let you come back."
Saying that, Shen Liangchen patted Shen Luoyan on the shoulder:
"It's not easy to go empty-handed."
"Go to our Shen family and pick out some good exercises and bring them with you."
"Tell him that the Shen family owes him two favors."
Shen Luoyan wanted to say something else, but she heard her father say in a deep voice:
"Luo Yan, think about your sister. She hasn't really seen the world yet."
Shen Luoyan swallowed all the millions of words he said, nodded heavily and said:
"I know, Dad."
Shen Yutong quit, stamping her feet and wiping her tears, "Dad, second sister, I will not leave the Shen family."
"No matter what you say, I will never leave!"
"Shut up!" Shen Luoyan glared at Shen Yutong, and her tone was harsher than ever before: "Go practice your sword!"
At the same time, Lingbei Huajia.
In the meeting hall.
Hua Hongchen's old face was full of solemnity.
A group of elders also remained silent.
On the other hand, Hua Qianren stood in the middle of the hall and said in a deep voice:
"Dad, in my opinion, even if Qingtian Sect wants to dominate the Lingnan region, it will take at least ten years."
"When they want to attack the Lingbei area, our super forces in Lingbei will definitely make Qingtian Sect suffer a lot."
"We in the Hua family have absolutely no need to be afraid."
Seeing Hua Qianren say this, an elder immediately echoed:
"Yes, Master."
"The Qingtian Sect can achieve the current results. To put it bluntly, it is because super powers such as the Sword Sect and the Beast Control Sect were caught off guard. They made one wrong step and one wrong step."
"And with the lessons of these forces, we super forces in Lingbei will definitely not follow in their footsteps again."
"Perhaps, our superpowers in Lingbei are already planning to attack the Qingtian Sect and carve up the territory in Lingnan."
Hearing this, another elder also stood up and said with a smile:
"Master, if our superpowers in Lingbei attack the Qingtian Sect, our Hua family might be able to get a share of the pie!"
"If we can get some resources in Lingnan, our Hua family might also be able to join the ranks of superpowers in the future."
"Shut up!" A flash of anger flashed in Hua Hongchen's cloudy eyes: "If you think about things so beautifully, who do you think you are, to be able to point out those superpowers?"
Seeing Hua Hongchen getting angry, a group of elders quickly shut up.
Hua Hongchen thought for a moment, looked at his son Hua Qianren and said:
"Go visit Beiyou Mountain and see what their plans are."
Hua Qianren nodded, immediately turned around and walked out of the hall.
At this time, Hua Hongchen said to an elder again: "Go and call Mulan over."
After a while, Hua Mulan followed the elder into the hall.
Her expression was a little cold, and she bowed her hands to everyone in a perfunctory manner, then looked at Hua Hongchen and asked:
"Grandpa, why did you call me here?"
A smile appeared on Hua Hongchen's face:
"Mulan, grandpa was too busy some time ago and has been in retreat, so he hasn't been able to ask you carefully about the person who detoxified you."
"He saved you, so our Hua family owes him a favor."
"That little friend is the disciple of a powerful man in the God Emperor Realm. We in the Hua family cannot lose our etiquette."
Having said this, the smile on Hua Hongchen's face became even bigger than before: "So Mulan, see if you can think of a way to let that little friend come to our Hua family again."
When this matter was mentioned, the displeasure on Hua Mulan's face became even stronger.
"Grandpa, I came all the way to visit you last time."
"But you didn't see me, and you told me not to be delayed by other people."
"Now that you ask me to invite him as a guest, do you think he will still be willing to come?"
Hua Mulan's words were full of resentment.
But the key point that Hua Hongchen heard was that that person was here last time!
"You mean, the person who came to visit me last time was the same person who saved you?"
Hua Hongchen's face looked a little unhappy, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"Also, if he is that person, how come your father doesn't recognize him?"
"Grandpa, believe it or not!" Hua Mulan turned around angrily and quickly left the hall.
Hua Hongchen immediately regretted it, and the next moment he slapped his hand on the armrest of the chair, "The opportunity to make friends with a powerful person in the God Emperor Realm is gone!"
A group of elders looked at each other in shock, not daring to answer at this time.
