Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 157 The Battle of Fetal Breathing
Blackwater Pool Manor.

Shen Yuan and his wife, along with the rest of the Shen family, stood quietly at the entrance of the manor.

Huang Lingxiu's eyes were red and swollen, and she would not have been able to stand up if Zhao Xuan hadn't been supporting her.

Just as dawn broke, Huang Lin summoned the villagers of Blackstone Village to the manor to report.

Looking down the mountain path, the brothers slowly carried Huang Qingzhou's body.

Huang Lingxiu burst into tears again.

Shen Yuan's face was gloomy as he quietly watched the group approach.

"father!"

"Uncle Yuan!"

Shen Wenxing and Huang Lin gently laid Huang Qingzhou's body down, then knelt down in front of Shen Yuan with a thud.

Shen Yuan glanced at the two of them but said nothing.

He slowly approached Huang Qingzhou's body, knelt down shakily, and lifted the white sheet.

Huang Qingzhou's face was ashen, and Shen Yuan's eyes were red, with tears welling up.

“Brother…”

He cried out in a sorrowful voice, but received no response.

Shen Yuan raised his head, held back his tears, and then stood up abruptly, a hint of killing intent emanating from his body!
"The third one!"

"Let's go to the Western Wilderness!"

Beside him, Shen Wen'an, who was standing with his sword in his arms, was slightly taken aback, then cupped his hands in greeting and prepared to leave.

"father!"

Shen Wenxing quickly shouted, "Father, you mustn't act rashly!"

Shen Yuan gave him a cold look and said, "Your father-in-law has been killed!"

"Your father's elder brother is dead!"

He roared in near rage, pounding his chest, tears finally streaming down his face.

"Your father's words don't carry any weight anymore, huh!?"

Seeing that Shen Wen'an was still standing there, Shen Yuan shouted angrily.

Shen Wen'an cupped his hands slightly, and with a flash, he flew towards Hidden Dragon Mountain as a streak of light on his sword!

Watching his son disappear, Shen Yuan slumped down in front of Huang Qingzhou's body, trembling.

With Zhao Xuan's help, Huang Lingxiu stumbled over and lay on Huang Qingzhou's body, weeping bitterly.

For a time, the entire Shen family manor was shrouded in silent grief.

a long time--

Shen Yuan wiped away the tears in his eyes, struggled to get up, and said:
"Go ahead and arrange your father-in-law's funeral."

His voice was a little hoarse, and after he finished speaking, he staggered toward the backyard of the manor.

Seeing this, Hu Yufen wanted to reach out to help him, but he waved her hand to stop her.

"Leave me alone for a while."

……

The western wilderness, a vast grassland.

A winding force of thousands of barbarian warriors from the western wilderness was moving slowly.

These soldiers were covered in blood, but their faces were filled with the joy of victory.

Behind them, a group of ragged young women were tied together by a long rope and staggered forward.

On several oxcarts nearby, hundreds of children, ranging from five or six years old to infants, were bound hand and foot and thrown into the carts.

The cries of children for their parents and the sobs of women were all drowned out by the unrestrained laughter of the barbarian warriors from the western wilderness.

A streak of light flew in from afar.

Upon seeing this, the leading barbarian soldiers all reined in their horses with solemn expressions.

The light suddenly transformed into a figure in a green robe, standing not far in front of them.

Upon seeing this, all the soldiers in the group immediately drew their weapons and rushed forward, surrounding Shen Wen'an.

"stop!"

Upon seeing this, the barbarian warrior leader hurriedly shouted, then dismounted and respectfully approached Shen Wen'an.

"Pu Xian, the leader of the Lanyutai tribe under the jurisdiction of Hundred Beasts Mountain, has met the immortal."

Shen Wen'an glanced at him and asked, "Which tribe from the Western Wilderness attacked Yunzhong Yunshui Town last night?"

Upon hearing this, the man named Pu Xian was taken aback. He seemed to have a vague idea of ​​what was going on, and immediately bowed obsequiously, saying, "Reporting to the immortal, it is the Alaigu tribe."

"The Alaigu are a large tribe in the Western Wilderness, with a population of 100,000, including..."

Where is the Alaigu tribe?

Shen Wen'an seemed unwilling to listen to his endless nonsense and spoke again.

Napu Xian hurriedly pointed southwest and said, "Immortal, if you go in that direction, you will see the Alaigu tribe in less than five hundred li."

Shen Wen'an nodded, then looked at the group of women who were tied up in a string.

Upon seeing this, Pu Xian's expression changed slightly. He wanted to explain something, but Shen Wen'an had already spoken.

"Where are you from?"

When the woman in the lead saw him asking questions, she hurriedly knelt down and cried, "Immortal, save me! I am an ordinary commoner from Sanhe Village in Fengxian County."

“These damned beasts stormed into our village last night and started killing and burning. They killed all the old people and men in the village.”

“The crops and houses were burned, and the young women and children were taken away by them.”

"We are from Caoyu Village, please help us, immortals!"

"us……"

Upon seeing this, a group of women knelt down and begged for mercy.

Pu Xian's face was grim. He secretly glanced at Shen Wen'an before fawningly bowing, "Immortal, we were only acting under orders from the Immortal of Hundred Beasts Mountain..."

puff!
A dazzling sword light flashed by.

Pu Xian's head flew off with a thud, and the headless corpse slowly collapsed to the ground, gushing blood!

The gruesome scene terrified the group of women.

The other barbarian soldiers around them seemed to have not yet reacted, but when they saw that their leader's body had fallen to the ground, they rushed forward in a swarm.

One after another, streaks of cyan sword energy slowly emerged behind Shen Wen'an.

The next moment, the lush green grass around it suddenly floated up from the ground! Each blade of grass seemed to transform into a sharp magic sword.

As Shen Wen'an waved his hand, countless streaks of azure light flew toward the barbarian warriors in front of him!
puff!
puff!
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out, and the bodies of the thousands of barbarian soldiers in front of them instantly stiffened, before slowly collapsing to the ground.

This scene terrified the kidnapped women so much that they dared not even breathe, staring in horror at the young man in blue before them.

Just a moment ago, they were hoping that this immortal would kill all the beasts who slaughtered their relatives, burned their homes, and defiled their bodies.

The next moment, seeing these people die tragically before my eyes, I felt more fear than pleasure.

After dealing with the barbarian soldiers in front of him, Shen Wen'an slowly turned around, preparing to cause trouble for the Alaigu tribe.

"Immortal... Immortal."

Just then, a woman spoke up, her voice trembling.

Shen Wen'an stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

The woman mustered her courage, stood up, and said, "Please, immortal, save us."

“This is a grassland. If the immortals abandon us here, we women and young children simply cannot survive…”

"Please ask the immortal to save us."

The other women also suppressed their fear and knelt down to beg.

Upon seeing this, Shen Wen'an felt a sudden headache coming on.

He felt that killing was relatively simple, but saving people was a very troublesome matter.

Looking at the hundreds of women in front of him and the hundreds of children on the oxcart, Shen Wen'an pondered for a moment and said, "There are horses here, and they should still have some dry food and water on them."

"You should mount your horses and take the children with you as you go up into the mountains."

"After traveling several hundred miles, you should be able to encounter members of the Shen family. Once you see them, you will be safe."

He flew here on his sword, and the monsters and wild animals in the mountains had long been frightened away by his aura and should not approach this area for a while.

"If you are worried about encountering danger, you can send someone skilled in riding to the mountains to find the Shen family and have them come to pick you up."

After saying this, he flew away on his sword.

In the southwest of the grassland, when Shen Wen'an arrived here on his sword, he did indeed see a large tribe.

Countless yurts stand on both sides of a winding river, while cattle, sheep and horses graze freely on the grassland.

Shen Wen'an sat cross-legged on a mound, gazing at the distant horizon.

There's a black dot rushing towards us.

The black dot rapidly enlarged, revealing itself to be a terrifying giant eagle with a white head, gray feathers, and a wingspan of over ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

The giant eagle flapped its wings, bringing gusts of wind as it landed not far from Shen Wen'an.

A hunched old woman and a thin, frail old man with a few sparse strands of silver hair jumped off the giant eagle's back. The old man looked at Shen Wen'an with suspicion and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you look unfamiliar. May I ask which immortal sect you come from?"

"Why have you trespassed into my Hundred Beasts Mountain territory and slaughtered mortals?"

Shen Wen'an remained silent, his gaze sweeping over the two people in front of him and the giant eagle behind them, secretly calculating whether he could kill them.

……

Fengxian County.

Upon returning from Jinghefang, Li Heshan immediately received a report from Liu Bufu, the head of the Liu family in Fengxian County.

It is said that last night, more than a dozen villages on the outskirts of Fengxian County were invaded by the Western Wilderness Barbarians.

Thousands of villagers were slaughtered, and women and children were all abducted.

Not only that, the spirit rice in the spiritual fields of those villages that was about to ripen was also looted, and the unripe rice was burned on the spot, resulting in heavy losses.

Upon hearing this, Li Heshan's expression turned ugly.

Liu Bufu added, "I received news that when the Western Wilderness barbarians attacked Fengxian County, the Yunshui Town of the Shen family in Yunzhong was also attacked."

"The father-in-law of Shen Wenxing, the head of the Shen family, died in battle."

The Shen family was also attacked?

Li Heshan narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.

But before he could think any further, a terrifying surge of spiritual energy suddenly came from the direction of the distant grassland!

Li Heshan flashed and suddenly flew into the sky.

In an instant, he saw a terrifying sword aura rise into the sky from the direction of the western grasslands!

"That is……"

"Junior Brother Wen'an has made a move!?"

"Mount Hundred Beasts has also dispatched experts at the Nascent Soul Realm!?"

Sensing the commotion of battle, Li Heshan's expression turned solemn.

The fact that experts at the Nascent Soul Realm are engaging in combat signifies the imminent start of a major war between immortal sects.

However, the Shen family only has Shen Wen'an, a strong expert at the Nascent Soul Realm, while Hundred Beast Mountain is different.

There are at least twenty experts at the Nascent Soul Realm, and if you include their battle beasts, the number would be even greater.

But what's even more terrifying is that old monster from Hundred Beasts Mountain whose cultivation has reached the pseudo-core realm.

What should we do now?
Personally speaking, he really wants to rush to the grasslands to help Shen Wen'an.

However, as the chief of Qiyun Valley and a future candidate for sect leader, his actions will inevitably plunge Qiyun Valley into trouble.

While Li Heshan hesitated, Wei Qiuling, far away in Yunzhong County, also sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations generated by the battle between experts at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Based on the news that the He family had just reported about the attack on the Shen family, she immediately guessed that it must have been Shen Wen'an who was behind it.

Those who would fight him would inevitably be experts at the Nascent Soul Realm from Hundred Beasts Mountain.

It should be noted that when the dragon's corpse was excavated, several experts at the Nascent Soul Realm from Hundred Beasts Mountain remained in Yangnao Land.

This time, Shen Wen'an's incursion into the grasslands will involve facing more than just one cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.

Thinking of this, she hesitated only slightly before taking out a precious communication stone and reporting the message to her sect in Danzhou.

On the grassland, the terrifying aftershocks of the battle between experts at the Fetal Breathing Realm only lasted for a moment before slowly dissipating.

Neither Wei Qiuling nor Li Heshan dared to venture deep into the grasslands to investigate the outcome of the battle.

After all, if things go wrong, it could implicate one's own sect.

They are merely the chief disciples of their sects, not the sect leaders, and cannot make such a significant decision.

While the two chose to wait silently, they also hoped that Shen Wen'an would be safe and sound.
