Shenwu Yutianlei

In Liucheng, time was slowly flowing, and it was almost noon. A mansion hidden away from the hustle and bustle stood quietly. The mansion was surrounded by strict guards, protecting the room in the middle.

Outside, the sun was blazing, scorching the earth like a stream of fire, as if to melt everything. But inside the house, it was a completely different scene. The light inside the house was dim, and the surroundings were tightly covered by layers of black gauze, like a solid barrier, and the light from the outside world could hardly penetrate at all. This closed environment gave people a heavy and almost suffocating feeling of oppression, as if they were in an endless dark abyss, and no matter how they struggled, they could not escape.

"How is it?" The man sitting at the top asked, his voice low and cold, echoing in the silent room. Due to the dim light, it was impossible to see his appearance directly, and one could only vaguely judge from the outline of his face that he did not seem to be very old.

The guard below knelt on one knee and reported with his head down: "Master, the plan has failed. The three Greedy Wolfs were accidentally killed." His voice was filled with a hint of panic and his body was shaking slightly.

"Waste, all of you are a bunch of waste!" The leader shouted angrily, and suddenly stood up, his momentum bursting out. His eyes were full of anger and disappointment, his hands were clenched into fists, and due to extreme anger, veins on his arms bulged.

With a crisp "smack" sound, the leader threw the teacup on the table to the ground in anger. The teacup shattered instantly, and porcelain pieces flew everywhere.

"What the hell are these three Greedy Wolfs? They are just three useless bastards! They can't even do such a small thing! Two Qi Training Realm Level 9, plus one Qi Training Realm Level 8, can't even kill a useless person whose cultivation is close to nothing! What's the point of keeping you?" The man walked back and forth, roaring in frustration. His footsteps were heavy and hurried, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heart, making people shudder.

The atmosphere in the room became extremely tense, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound, for fear of provoking the master's anger. The guards secretly groaned in their hearts, as they knew the master's temper very well. At this moment, he was already in a state of extreme anger, and any excuses might bring more serious consequences.

"Tell me, what's going on?" After venting, the man's breathing gradually stabilized. He slowly sat back in his seat, his hands hanging naturally on the handles of the seat, but his ten fingers were slightly bent, showing his inner unwillingness.

"Master, judging from the traces of fighting at the scene and the wounds on the bodies of the three Greedy Wolfs, it should be Li Xiangyuan who did it. The information we received is wrong. Li Xiangyuan's cultivation is at least the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm." The guard's body was trembling slightly at this time, his head was almost lowered to the ground, and his voice was full of fear. He was very scared, afraid that the man in the upper position would vent his anger on him again, so he simply pushed all the problems onto Li Xiangyuan, trying to calm the man's anger. Li Xiangyuan is a strong man in the Foundation Establishment Realm, this can't be blamed on himself.

The development of the matter was just as the guard expected. When he learned that Li Xiangyuan actually had the strength to build a foundation, the man frowned tightly, pursed his lips slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not delve into it further.

"Hmph, a bunch of trash! Send some men to keep an eye on that kid, and report any signs of trouble immediately. As for Li Xiangyuan, someone will naturally deal with him." There was a hint of disdain and anger in the man's voice. He slapped the armrest hard, stood up, and glanced at the guards with cold eyes.

"Yes, master." The guard responded hurriedly as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly left the room.

The room was quiet again, with only the man's thoughtful eyes, as if he was calculating something. The dim light still enveloped the room, making people feel an invisible pressure.

Outside, the sun was still scorching, but the atmosphere inside the house became increasingly heavy, as if a storm was brewing.

Shen Yun walked slowly towards Li Xiangyuan.

"Old Li, are you drinking?" Shen Yun asked softly.

"Oh, it's the young master. I'm free here anyway, so why not have a couple of sips? Young master, would you like some?" Li Xiangyuan sat up after hearing the voice, with a casual smile on his face. He picked up the wine jug and shook it towards Shen Yun.

"I won't drink anymore, Old Li, let's chat?" Shen Yun sat down next to Li Xiangyuan.

"What are you talking about?" Li Xiangyuan scratched his head, looking a little confused.

"Just chat, for example, about your cultivation. Have you ever thought about when you can recover your cultivation?" Shen Yun's eyes fell straight on Li Xiangyuan, as if he wanted to see through his inner thoughts.

"Hey, Old Li, I haven't thought about these things for a long time. Now that I can suppress the poisonous fire in my body and my cultivation level no longer regresses, I'm very satisfied." Li Xiangyuan said, and took another sip of wine, then he sighed deeply, with a trace of helplessness and relief in his eyes.

"Old Li, if, I mean if, the poisonous fire power in your body, I might be able to get rid of it. Do you want to try it?" Shen Yun looked at Li Xiangyuan with firm eyes and said softly.

"Then let's try... what... what?" Li Xiangyuan was about to pour the wine into his mouth. When he heard Shen Yun's words, his hand holding the wine pot suddenly froze and stopped in mid-air. He opened his eyes wide and asked again with disbelief on his face, "Master, are you saying that there is a way to remove the poisonous fire power in my body?"

Looking at Li Xiangyuan's expectant eyes, Shen Yun felt reluctant. He really didn't want to disappoint Li Xiangyuan, but before trying, he didn't dare to guarantee success. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "I mean, there is a certain chance, but I can't be 100% sure that it will work, so..."

"Young master, come on. As long as there is a slight possibility, I, Old Li, am willing to give it a try." Li Xiangyuan excitedly stood up from the stone, his hands trembling slightly.

"In that case, let me tell you the general situation first. I believe you have also discovered a problem. My cultivation has recovered a little." Shen Yun looked calm and said slowly to Li Xiangyuan.

Li Xiangyuan nodded quickly. He had indeed noticed this fact the moment Shen Yun made his move, just like everyone else present. Although he was full of curiosity, he also knew that this was Shen Yun's personal secret, so he was embarrassed to ask rashly.

"What I said about being confident that I can remove the poisonous fire power for you is also related to this." As Shen Yun spoke, he raised his right hand and began to condense a ball of lightning spiritual power in his palm.

"By chance, I merged with a ray of lightning power, which is powerful and far beyond ordinary spiritual power. Now I can master and use this lightning spiritual power skillfully. The evil power that I was previously infected with was also eliminated by this lightning spiritual power." Shen Yun's voice was calm and steady, as if he was stating something very ordinary. However, the lightning spiritual power flashing with dazzling light in his palm made Li Xiangyuan's eyes light up, and a hope surged in his heart.
