Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 107 The Existence Deep Within the Soul

When Shen Yuan came down from Hidden Dragon Mountain, it was already evening.

He was about to send his eldest son, Shen Wenxing, to find the immortals of Luoxia Mountain to inform them about the ruins when he suddenly noticed a magnificent carriage parked at the entrance.

Upon seeing the auspicious cloud and green mountain emblem on the carriage, Shen Yuan's expression instantly turned ugly.

It's Qiyun Valley!

Shen Yuan hurriedly entered the courtyard and saw Shen Wenxing and Pei Yuwan sitting in the side room, both of them with solemn expressions.

"Father!"

Upon seeing him, Shen Wenxing quickly stood up and called out to him.

Shen Yuan suppressed his anxiety, nodded slightly, and walked in.

"Who is this……"

"You must be Uncle Shen. My name is Pei Yuwan, Wen An's senior sister."

Pei Yuwan stood up and introduced herself.

"So it's Fairy Pei." Shen Yuan bowed respectfully, then looked at Shen Wenxing and said, "It's almost lunchtime, hurry and tell your mother to prepare..."

"Father, something's happened!"

Before his father could finish speaking, Shen Wenxing immediately interrupted, "Wen'an... he killed someone!"

So that's what they came for!
Shen Yuan's heart tightened, and he glanced at Pei Yuwan beside him.

Pei Yuwan then recounted once again how Shen Wen'an had killed Liu Hong.

"Uncle Shen, where is Junior Brother Wen'an now?"

Shen Yuan did not answer, but pondered for a moment before asking, "What does Qiyun Valley intend to do with him?"

Pei Yuwan shook her head slightly: "This matter has not been investigated clearly yet."

"Father means that I should take my junior brother back and question him properly in front of the sect leader and the elders of the sect."

Shen Yuan nodded: "It's only right to do this when you make a mistake."

"Does Fairy Pei think Wen An is that kind of person?"

He then turned to Pei Yuwan and asked.

Pei Yuwan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "Although Junior Brother Wen'an has some quirks, he... shouldn't be that kind of person."

"Uncle Shen, you'd better let me meet with Junior Brother Wen'an now, so that we can find out exactly what happened back then."

"I also want to give my father a heads-up in advance so that he can handle things within the sect."

“Otherwise…” Pei Yuwan looked at the two of them with a solemn expression and said, “Otherwise, once the sect’s elders lose patience, there will probably be no room for maneuver in this matter.”

Shen Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there are still people in Qiyun Valley who are willing to believe in their own son, that's enough.

"Please forgive me, Fairy Pei. Wen'an has gone into the mountains. I went to look for him today, but I haven't found him yet."

"Why don't you stay at my humble abode for a few days until she returns?"

Into the mountains?
Pei Yuwan looked at the vast Hidden Dragon Mountain with some suspicion. After hesitating for a long time, she could only sigh helplessly: "Since that's the case, I'll trouble you then."

Shen Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "Boss, go and have your mother prepare a side room for Fairy Pei to stay in temporarily."

Shen Wenxing stood up and nodded.

"Please have a seat, Fairy Pei. I'll be going out for a bit."

Shen Yuan cupped his hands in greeting, left the room, and caught up with Shen Wenxing, saying, "Go find the immortals of Luoxia Mountain immediately and inform them about the ruins, and tell them that Baishou Mountain has discovered the ruins!"

Shen Wenxing was shocked upon hearing this!
"What about Wen'an..."

"We'll talk about it when we get back, let's go now!"

"Oh, and also tell Luoxia Mountain about Wen An killing his fellow disciples," Shen Yuan instructed again after a moment's thought.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Shen Wenxing didn't ask any more questions and immediately turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Shen Yuan went to the inner courtyard and asked Hu Yufen and Huang Lingxiu to prepare a side room for Pei Yuwan to stay in temporarily.

That evening, the family treated Pei Yuwan to a good meal.

As night deepened, Shen Yuan lay on his bed, pondering the current situation.

Seeing that he looked preoccupied, Hu Yufen couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

Shen Yuan turned to look at her and smiled, "It's alright, go to sleep."

The events of the day were too troublesome for him to handle, and he didn't want to tell his wife about them and cause her unnecessary worry.

Hu Yufen sighed and didn't press the matter further.

As midnight approached, Shen Yuan instinctively glanced at the white jade tortoise shell in his sea of ​​consciousness, waiting for the divination results to refresh.

[The divination result has been updated!]

[Today's Divination - Very Inauspicious]: Family member Shen Wen'an faces a life-or-death crisis and must be treated with extreme caution!

Another extremely inauspicious omen!

Shen Yuan sat up abruptly, his face grave!
He had been to the Dragon Tamer's residence himself, and there were no dangerous areas on the outskirts.

Shen Wen'an had promised at the time that he wouldn't go too deep...

No!

Shen Yuan dressed and, under the cover of night, left home again, heading towards Hidden Dragon Mountain.

In the pitch-black jungle, Shen Wen'an leaned on his sword for support as he staggered forward.

After leaving the valley of the Dragon Tamer's Ruins, he sensed something was amiss.

There seemed to be some kind of power stirring within him, constantly affecting his mind.

The power came from the depths of his soul. Although he was unaware of it, the feeling of trying to change his mind still triggered an instinctive resistance from his body.

The battle at the soul level rapidly depleted his spiritual power.

At this moment, Shen Wen'an had a splitting headache and was on the verge of fainting.

"Wen'an?"

Just as he was resting against an ancient tree, he vaguely heard a familiar shout coming from the darkness ahead.

"Father..."

Shen Wen'an let out a weak cry, his body could no longer hold on, and he fainted!
"Wen'an!"

Shen Yuan was shocked and rushed forward to support his son.

"Wen'an?"

He called out urgently, but Shen Wen'an had already lost consciousness and did not respond.

Shen Yuan dared not delay and immediately carried him on his back and hurried down the mountain.

early morning.

Another carriage arrived at the manor in Blackwater Pool.

The carriage slowly came to a stop, and Wei Qiuling and Yu Jin got off the carriage and couldn't wait to walk into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Pei Yuwan, who was cultivating, frowned slightly when she saw Wei Qiuling and the other two. "Junior Sister Pei?"

Wei Qiuling was clearly unaware that Pei Yuwan would be at the Shen family's residence, and was somewhat surprised to encounter her at this moment.

Pei Yuwan seemed somewhat disliked her, and gave a perfunctory cupped-hand salute: "What brings Senior Sister Wei to the Shen family?"

Wei Qiuling smiled slightly: "Yunzhong County is part of my Luoxia Mountain. The Shen family is in Yunzhong County. Can't Senior Sister come?"

Just then, Shen Wenxing heard the commotion and came out as well.

"Fairy Pei, Fairy Wei."

Upon seeing Shen Wenxing, Pei Yuwan immediately stood up to greet him, saying, "I heard some noise last night. Was it Junior Brother Wen'an who returned?"

Shen Wenxing hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I dare not hide it from Fairy Pei, Wen'an has returned."

"but……"

Pei Yuwan frowned: "What happened?"

Shen Wenxing did not answer, but instead gestured, "The three fairies, please follow me."

Under his guidance, the three arrived at Shen Wen'an's residence.

Inside the room, Shen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back in front of the bed, his expression very solemn.

Shen Wen'an has been unconscious since he was brought back last night.

He has already checked it carefully.

The spiritual energy within his body was functioning normally, and apart from an external injury on his shoulder, there were no other abnormalities.

Left with no other choice, they had to ask the eldest brother to go find Pei Yuwan.

After all, Qiyun Valley is proficient in alchemy, and medicine and alchemy are inseparable; at times like this, they can only rely on her.

The three arrived at the door, and Shen Yuan hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting: "Wen'an is injured, so I would like to trouble Fairy Pei to help treat him first."

Upon seeing the unconscious Shen Wen'an, Pei Yuwan disregarded formalities and went directly to the bedside, grabbing his wrist.

Taking advantage of this break, Shen Yuan gestured to Wei Qiuling with his eyes to go outside and talk.

The two came outside, and Shen Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Fairy Wei, I have a favor to ask regarding the ruins."

Wei Qiuling nodded slightly: "Please speak, Patriarch Shen."

Shen Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I would like to inform Qiyun Valley about the ruins as well."

Wei Qiuling frowned slightly, then smiled faintly and said, "Does Patriarch Shen intend to use the ruins to buy Junior Brother Wen'an a chance to survive?"

Shen Yuan nodded.

He had been thinking about this for a long time ever since he learned that his son had killed a fellow disciple.

Since the Dragon Tamer's residence has been exposed, it's best to inform Qiyun Valley of this news as well. Considering his contribution in discovering the ruins and with his master mediating, Qiyun Valley might be lenient in dealing with his murder.

However, we still need to discuss this matter with Luoxia Mountain.

After all, Luoxia Mountain is the true master of Yunzhong County today.

"Patriarch Shen, please do not worry. After receiving the message from Brother Shen yesterday, Qiu Ling immediately contacted her sect."

"Luoxia Mountain is also willing to explore that ruin together with Qiyun Valley."

"Master has also agreed that he will go to Qiyun Valley later to plead for Junior Brother Shen."

"If Junior Brother Shen truly has no intention of betraying the sect, this matter should not be too serious."

Wei Qiuling's words were not false at all.

Unlike the conservative Qiyun Valley, the sect leader of Luoxia Mountain, who is also Wei Qiuling's master, is a very farsighted person.

After learning that Shen Wen'an, who was connected with the Sword Immortal Ling Shan, came from the Shen family of Yunzhong County, Luoxia Mountain spent a lot of effort to find some witnesses to the Qishan Market Incident of that year.

Based on the accounts of those witnesses, Luoxia Mountain was able to confirm that the Sword Immortal Lingshan did indeed have a fondness for Shen Wen'an.

Having established this point, Luoxia Mountain clearly defined its purpose.

In Yangnao Land, you should try your best to befriend the Shen family.

Last night, after Wei Qiuling relayed the news back to the sect, the sect leader of Luoxia Mountain made a decision without any hesitation.

Hundred Beasts Mountain is too strong. On its own, Luoxia Mountain has no way to compete with them. Bringing in Qiyun Valley is a good option.

Moreover, this move can be considered a win-win-win situation: it does Qiyun Valley a favor, wins over the Shen family, and may even leave a good impression on the Ling Shan Sword Immortal.

Luoxia Mountain doesn't care whether Shen Wen'an has any intention of betraying Qiyun Valley. Even if he does, if Qiyun Valley dares to go too far, it might provoke that young sword immortal to take action.

At that time, Luoxia Mountain might be able to take the opportunity to strike up a conversation with that sword immortal.

His Qiyun Valley had once been glorious, and he couldn't bring himself to associate with Qingluo Sword Pavilion. Luoxia Mountain was different; it had come from humble beginnings and didn't feel ashamed of trying to climb the social ladder by associating with powerful figures.

Shen Yuan was slightly pleased upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Fairy Wei!"

He was somewhat surprised by Luoxia Mountain's magnanimity, but he also greatly admired it.

As Wei Qiuling bowed, she caught a glimpse of Pei Yuwan walking out of the room.

"Patriarch Shen, let's go over there."

The three returned to the room door.

Pei Yuwan looked at Shen Yuan with a serious expression and asked, "Uncle Shen, what exactly happened to Junior Brother Wen'an?"

She had already carefully examined Shen Wen'an.

His body was fine, and his spiritual energy was even abundant, showing signs of breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

But deep within his soul, there seemed to be a dormant power, a power that was weak yet domineering.

Pei Yuwan couldn't figure out what that power was for a moment, but she could vaguely determine that it was that power that had caused Shen Wen'an to fall into a coma.

Shen Yuan glanced at Wei Qiuling, then cupped his hands and told her about the Dragon Tamer Ruins.

"Please forgive me, Fairy Pei. Logically speaking, Wen An is a disciple of Qiyun Valley, and Qiyun Valley should have been informed of this relic first."

"However, Luoxia Mountain is, after all, the master of Yunzhong County."

"Therefore, I hope that the immortal sects behind the two of you can discuss and expand this ruins yourselves."

remains?

Pei Yuwan frowned for a moment, then looked at Wei Qiuling and asked, "What is Luoxia Mountain thinking?"

Wei Qiuling smiled faintly: "Luoxia Mountain and Qiyun Valley have an inseparable relationship, so naturally we are willing to explore together with Qiyun Valley."

"However, this ruin was discovered by the Shen family. When Junior Sister Pei reports, don't forget the Shen family's contribution."

Pei Yuwan was slightly taken aback, but then she understood what she meant.

"Alright, I will report the matter of the ruins to the sect immediately, but Junior Brother Wen'an's condition is not optimistic."

"I will go back to He County to find Elder Ji and hope that he can find a way to save Junior Brother Shen."

After Pei Yuwan finished speaking, she left in a hurry.

She knew very well that neither the matter of the ruins nor Shen Wen'an's current condition could be delayed.
