I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

"This is the concealment barrier I set up in my early years. It can not only conceal auras, but also withstand the attacks of Yuanying realm cultivators. You will be absolutely safe here."

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Shu's eyes. He could feel the powerful spiritual power contained in the barrier, which was incomparable to ordinary formations.

He stepped forward and bowed to Jin Man. "Thank you, Elder Jin, for your concern. But...what exactly happened to Brother Ziang? Could you please tell us?"

Although Chen Shu is young, he is calmer than Yaya and Jinwa, and is always concerned about Mingchuan's safety.

Jin Man looked at his worried eyes and sighed inwardly.

These three children are the ones Mingchuan holds dearest to his heart. If they knew Mingchuan’s true identity and current situation, they would probably be even more worried.

She could only explain lightly, "Your brother Ziang is dealing with some important matters right now and can't come back for the time being. But he's safe. I was just worried that someone might cause trouble for you, so I asked you to stay here."

"Once he finishes his business, he'll come pick you up."

After she finished speaking, she reached into her storage bag and took out three bottles of pills and several jade slips of martial arts techniques and handed them to the three people.

"These are elixirs for healing and assisting in cultivation, as well as techniques suitable for your current stage of cultivation. Just focus on improving your strength here and don't let your imagination run wild."

Yaya took the pill, her eyes still red: "Elder Jin, can't we really go find Brother Ziang? I'm very worried about Brother Ziang."

"Silly girl," Jin Man ruffled her hair, "If you practice well now, you will be doing Brother Ziang the greatest favor. If anything happens to you, he will be really distracted."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and formed a seal. The spiritual power in her body that had reached the Divine Transformation Realm was slowly injected into the surrounding barrier. The light golden light became increasingly intense, completely enveloping the bamboo house.

"I've already reinforced this barrier. People outside can't see in here, and you don't have to worry about ferocious beasts breaking in."

Seeing this, Yaya could only nod and agree, no matter how reluctant she was.

Jin Man carefully reminded them of a few things to pay attention to in daily life, and after confirming that the three of them had remembered them clearly, she turned around and prepared to leave.

When she reached the edge of the bamboo forest, she looked back in the direction of the bamboo house with a complicated look in her eyes.

All she could do was to protect the three children temporarily. As for the conflict between Mingchuan and Su Hongzhen, it would ultimately depend on them to resolve it themselves.

As Jinman left, the fog in the bamboo forest gathered again, completely hiding the bamboo house and the barrier.

Yaya, Chen Shu and Jinwa stood in front of the bamboo house and looked at each other. Although they were still worried, they knew that Jinman was doing it for their own good.

Chen Shu clenched the jade slip of martial arts in his hand and spoke in a firm tone.

"Let's practice hard first. When we become stronger, maybe we can help Brother Ziang."

"Okay!" Yaya and Jinwa responded in unison.

……

After leaving the bamboo forest, Jin Man immediately found a secluded stone pavilion and took out a jade communication talisman engraved with runes from his storage bag.

She gathered spiritual power at her fingertips and tapped lightly on the jade talisman. The talisman instantly lit up with a light blue light, enveloping her voice.

"Mingchuan, I have placed Yaya, Chen Shu, and Jinwa in a secret barrier in the back mountain. The barrier can withstand attacks from the Nascent Soul Realm. They are safe for the time being."

Jin Man's voice was solemn. "Su Hongzhen already knows you've broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and he holds a deep grudge against you. However, due to the situation in the Spirit Realm, he dares not take action openly. Now, he's urgently summoned Cang Ziang back to the sect. He wants you to confront Mingchuan as Cang Ziang to test your strength and gain face for the Qingcheng Yufa Sect."

She paused, a hint of worry in her tone: "You are now in the Nascent Soul stage, your strength is far beyond what it was before. What are your plans next?"

"Will you return to the sect and pretend to be Cang Ziang, or will you confront Su Hongzhen directly and take action against the Qingcheng Yufa Sect? If you choose the latter, you must inform me in advance so that I can make preparations and avoid harming innocent disciples."

The light of the communication jade talisman gradually dimmed. Jin Man put it back into the storage bag and looked up in the direction of Qingfeng Yumen.

Mingchuan is most likely in Qingfeng Yumen at this moment. Whether he can receive the message and what decision he will make depends entirely on his intentions.

And at this time Qingfeng Yumen.

Mingchuan was sitting in his cave, circulating his spiritual energy to refine the remaining power of the Moon Soul Crystal in his body.

Suddenly, the communication jade talisman on his waist became slightly hot, and a familiar spiritual power fluctuation came. He immediately stopped practicing and took out the jade talisman.

After listening to Jin Man's message, Mingchuan stroked the jade talisman with his fingertips, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

Continue to pretend to be Cang Ziang?

It is true that he can temporarily stabilize Su Hongzhen and secretly observe the movements of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect, but once a flaw is revealed, not only will his own identity be exposed, but Jin Man will also be implicated.

Do it directly?

The Qingcheng Yufa Sect has a deep foundation. Any rash action may trigger internal strife in the Spirit Realm, which will give the Holy Realm an opportunity to take advantage.

After all, what the Spirit Realm needs most now is unity, not internal friction.

He pondered for a moment, then injected his spiritual energy into the jade talisman again. He replied, "Thank you for helping me settle the children. Let them cultivate peacefully in the barrier. I will visit them as soon as possible."

"As for Su Hongzhen, there's no need to take action for now. I will return to Qingcheng Yufa Sect as Cang Ziang."

"You just need to help me keep it a secret from Su Hongzhen. Just say that Cang Ziang just returned from the Demonic Abyss. He needs to retreat to recuperate due to the erosion of demonic energy and is temporarily unable to see guests."

"After I finish dealing with the Qingfeng Yumen matter, I will return to the sect. By then, I will have my own way to deal with Su Hongzhen's temptation. I will not reveal my identity, nor will I embarrass you."

After the message ended, Mingchuan put away the jade talisman, stood up and looked out the window.

Now is not the time for internal strife. We must first resolve the chaos in the Demon Abyss. At least we must suppress the riot in the Demon Abyss before we can take action against the Qingcheng Yufa Sect.

Otherwise, if they were to fight, the Demonic Abyss riot might suck everyone in.

By then, the Spiritual Realm might disappear, and the Holy Realm would take the opportunity to move in and profit from it.

Then, all his previous plans would come to nothing.

He also wanted to bring his wife, relatives and brothers up here.

Thinking of this, Mingchuan immediately entered the state of cultivation again.

Right now, I have to stabilize my cultivation faster.

Mingchuan closed his eyes and turned the airflow of his body again.

The spiritual power in the cave flows slowly through the meridians like a stream as Mingchuan operates, and finally flows into the dantian.

The pure spiritual power of the Moon Soul Crystal had not yet been fully refined. At this moment, it was intertwined with the new spiritual power he gained after breaking through the Nascent Soul Realm, forming a faint golden halo in his dantian.

Mingchuan focused his mind and looked inward, carefully sorting out the slightly agitated spiritual energy in his body.

Having just broken through a realm, although the spiritual power has increased dramatically, it is not condensed enough. If one encounters a strong enemy at this time, he may suffer losses due to the loss of control of the spiritual power.

He pinched his fingers together, circulated his spiritual energy, and expelled the excess impurities in his dantian bit by bit.

As the impurities dissipated, the spiritual energy around him became purer, and the pressure of the Nascent Soul Realm became more and more steady, no longer as outward as before...
