Shenwu Yutianlei

"Young master, this was found on the thief." A guard leaned forward and respectfully handed over a storage ring with both hands, a hint of joy in his eyes.

"Oh?" Shen Yuan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He was secretly surprised: three masked men of the ninth level of Qi training realm actually had a storage ring. What an unexpected surprise. But now was not the time to investigate, so he quietly put the storage ring away.

Shen Yun swept his eyes over the guards, and said in a steady and firm voice: "Today everyone has been fearless and loyal in protecting the master. I will not treat you brothers unfairly. All the brothers present will be rewarded." His eyes were full of gratitude and admiration.

Then, he turned around and ordered: "Collect the bodies of the brothers who died in the battle, put them on the carriage, and bury them separately. If their families are willing to move to Xihou Village, inform Zhao Cheng to arrange the relevant matters; if they are not willing, they can be exchanged for elixirs and spirit stones, and the brothers will not suffer any loss."

"Thank you, Master! We will follow you till death!" The guards shouted in unison, their voices excited, their faces filled with loyalty and determination. They knew in their hearts that since the day Shen Batian assigned them to Shen Yun as guards, their fate has been closely linked to Shen Yun. Shen Yun's strength and success will directly affect their treatment and future. Today, Shen Yun showed his power and killed the eighth and ninth level Qi training masters one after another. Just based on this, they were convinced. In this world where the strong are respected, it is the nature of everyone to follow the strong.

"Mr. Li, are you okay?" Shen Yun asked with concern. After arranging a group of guards, he quickly walked to Li Xiangyuan.

Li Xiangyuan shook his head slightly, smiled calmly, and said, "Don't worry, young master. A mere ninth-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm can't hurt me." As he spoke, he waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

Shen Yun turned his head and looked at his wife Liu Yingyue again, only to see Liu Yingyue looking at him tenderly with a gentle look in her eyes, as if saying, "I'm fine, don't worry." Shen Yun felt warm in his heart. Although they had just been married for a short time, this kind of tacit understanding between husband and wife was perhaps innate. They could understand each other's meaning with just a glance.

After collecting the bodies of the guards who died in the battle, Shen Yun frowned, looked at the bodies of the three men in black, and pondered for a moment. He turned to Li Xiangyuan and said, "Mr. Li, why don't you stab each body a few more times in the vital parts. If someone comes to check, they will definitely think that it was you, Mr. Li, who annihilated these three people. For the time being, I don't want to reveal the fact that my cultivation has recovered."

Li Xiangyuan nodded, picked up the knife with a sharp look, and stabbed each corpse several more times.

Shen Yun looked at Li Xiangyuan with gratitude.

The team continued to move forward. Shen Yun placed the body of the deceased guard on the carriage with a solemn expression. His movements were gentle and solemn, as if he was treating a sleeping friend. The Feiying Bear Horse that was vacated by the two guards was just right for the couple to ride.

Shen Yun carefully helped Liu Yingyue climb onto the horse, and then swiftly jumped onto another horse. His eyes revealed determination and a sense of responsibility. Along the way, he silently guarded Liu Yingyue and paid attention to the movements around him.

A few hours later, the team was close to their destination, Xihou Village, and Zhao Cheng and a few servants could be seen from afar welcoming them at the entrance of the village. After seeing Shen Yun's team, Zhao Cheng hurriedly rode forward.

"Master, Madam, thank you for your hard work along the way!" Zhao Cheng said with concern.

"Zhao Cheng, have you arranged accommodation?" Shen Yun asked, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

"Master, everything has been arranged." Zhao Cheng replied. He turned around and saw that the guard had some injuries on his body. He asked hurriedly, "Master, are you okay? Are you not hurt?" His eyes were full of worry.

Shen Yun shook his head slightly and said calmly: "It's okay, go home first."

That's right, for a long time to come, Xihou Village will be Shen Yun's home. He looked at this familiar village, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Liu Yingyue gently held Shen Yun's hand and said softly, "Yunlang, we are finally home." Her eyes revealed her anticipation for future life.

Shen Yun smiled and nodded, comforting her: "We are home now, you can have a good rest now."

Zhao Cheng said hurriedly, "Master, Madam, you must be tired after traveling all the way. I have asked someone to prepare hot water and food. You should wash up first and then eat something."

Shen Yun looked at Zhao Cheng gratefully and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhao Cheng."

Afterwards, the group slowly walked into Xihou Village and headed towards their homes.

Xihou Village is a quiet and beautiful village. It is a beautiful pastoral painting with clear water and green trees. How can I describe it? It is suitable for retirement and leisure.

The team went straight through the village. Along the way, villagers came and went from time to time. Some of them carried farm tools, some carried baskets, some led cattle and sheep, some were herbalists carrying herbal baskets, and some were hunters carrying bows and arrows and holding hatchets. Their faces were filled with simple smiles. When they met Shen Yun and his party, the villagers would greet them warmly and greet each other, showing the warmth and harmony between rural neighbors.

Shen Yun's residence is located in the south of Xihou Village. It is a magnificent and spacious mansion, and also the largest house in the entire Xihou Village. The house covers a vast area and is large in scale, demonstrating the identity and status of the owner.

The house is backed by a mountain, giving people a sense of calmness and solidity. The mountain not only provides a natural barrier, but also makes the house appear particularly quiet surrounded by mountains and forests.

The house faces the river, and the clear water gurgles, adding a sense of beauty to the house. The river sparkles in the sun, like a silver ribbon.

The architectural style of the house is unique. The courtyard is full of various flowers, plants and trees. As you can imagine, flowers bloom in all seasons and the fragrance is overwhelming. Pavilions, towers, rockery and small bridges are scattered in an orderly manner. Walking among them, you feel like you are in a fairyland.

The house is elegantly decorated and furnished, with a spacious living room, a cozy bedroom, and an elegant study.

It is conceivable that Shen Batian spent a lot of money to build this house. But then again, putting aside Shen Batian's status as a high-ranking official of the Shen family, a little money is really not a big problem for a strong man in the foundation-building stage.

After instructing Zhao Cheng to settle the guards, Shen Yun finally had time to look around the house. He would live here for a period of time in the future, perhaps for a very long time. It would also be here that a different Shen Yun would rise again.
