The object wrapped in divine power disappeared into the darkness in an instant, like a meteor across the night sky, leaving only a faint trail of light, as if telling of the unknown yet hopeful journey it was about to embark on.
After completing all this, the two of them had already stepped out of the void crack.
Shen Jia'an looked at Xiao'an beside him, his eyes filled with relief and concern. He knew that Xiao'an had grown a lot after going through this series of life and death trials, but he was still just a child after all, and the intelligence organization was his safest harbor at the moment.
So, Shen Jia'an patted Xiao'an's shoulder gently, and like an elder escorting a wanderer home, he sent Xiao'an to Chu Chuan's room.
After a brief pause, he stepped into the void crack again and headed towards the familiar Mortal Realm Church.
At this time, it has entered the beginning of November, and the biting chill of winter is faintly visible.
Night fell early, but only around eight o'clock in the evening, the whole world seemed to be shrouded by a huge black curtain, falling into deep darkness.
The biting cold wind, carrying the unique icy whisper of winter, swept over with a roar, mercilessly shaking the branches and leaves of the roadside trees, making a "swish" sound, as if it was a sad melody played by nature.
Shen Jia'an's figure was like a ghost, quietly and silently passing through the crack in the void and appearing in Zheng Ting's quiet and elegant courtyard.
Miraculously, the sound of the wind was cleverly masked by the rustling of the trees in the yard, making his appearance seem even more secretive and quiet.
However, Zheng Ting and others are not ordinary people after all. They have been walking in the world for many years and have an extraordinary keen perception of the subtle changes in the surrounding environment.
Although Shen Jia'an appeared silently, they were able to sense the subtle fluctuation of breath outside the house at the first moment, just like an alert hound catching the scent of its prey.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire yard seemed to freeze. Everyone became alert, staring intently at every corner of the yard, waiting for unknown variables to occur.
He Jinli flashed and moved silently to the door, holding a dagger that was flashing with cold light in his hand, and looking around vigilantly.
"It's me, Shen Jiaan. I'm back."
A low and peaceful voice came slowly, like a gentle breeze, gently blowing through everyone's hearts, magically exerting the magic of soothing people's hearts, causing the tense atmosphere in the courtyard to gradually ease a little.
Zheng Ting was stunned at first, obviously not expecting that the breath outside came from Shen Jia'an. After she reacted instantly and confirmed that it was his voice, her face was full of excitement and joy, like a bright light suddenly lit in the darkness, bright and dazzling.
She quickly put away the weapon she had been holding tightly, her movements filled with a hint of urgency. Then, she hurried towards Shen Jiaan impatiently, saying excitedly as she walked, "You're finally back! We were all so worried."
It was no wonder that Zheng Ting failed to detect Shen Jia'an's aura. Ever since Shen Jia'an absorbed the divine nature, the power contained in the divine nature had been like a purifying rain that cleansed the soul, seeping into every corner of his body, removing all the impurities that had accumulated in his body over the years, just like carving a rough jade, causing him to undergo a complete transformation from the inside out, and his aura was naturally very different from before.
Then, Shen Jia'an greeted everyone who came out from the courtyard one by one. For a moment, the courtyard was filled with a warm atmosphere, as if the haze that had previously shrouded the place had temporarily faded away.
His gaze fell on the dimly lit room. After a slight pause, he asked, "How did you deal with the guy who pretended to be me?"
Zhou Zheng, who was in the room, heard the discussion outside and stood up, pushed open the door, and strode out. His eyes were visibly tired, the traces of many days' hard work, yet his face was filled with joy at seeing his child return safely. The two expressions intertwined, revealing a sense of complexity and relief.
"Alas, we have tried many methods, but we can only barely weaken his strength." Zhou Zheng shook his head helplessly, and continued with a frown.
"The resentment stored in that guy's body is too huge, like an endless abyss. Moreover, there seems to be some forbidden spell protecting him. We don't have a way to kill him in one blow for the time being."
Zheng Wan looked at Shen Jia'an in front of him, and did not recall many past memories in his mind, except that Su Mohui had mentioned it briefly when she had sent a message before.
She took two steps forward, raised her hand and gently patted Shen Jiaan's shoulder, her tone firm and resolute: "Master Su once said that you would come back with a solution."
When Su Mohui's name was mentioned, Shen Jiaan's eyes and brows softened instantly, as if the warm spring sun was gently caressing the surface of the lake, bringing to mind a gentle smile.
This smile seemed to have magical powers, inadvertently emitting a power that could soothe people's restlessness, making the people around who were originally full of depression feel much more at ease.
"Indeed..." Shen Jia'an responded softly, whispering in his heart that it was time to end all this chaos.
Thinking of this, he looked up at everyone, his expression respectful and his posture straight, and bowed respectfully, saying earnestly: "My elders have been busy on this matter for several days, it is really hard. Let me handle the next matter."
"Xiao Shen, don't be too stubborn when you just come back. That impostor is really troublesome. If you need any help, just ask." He Jinli reminded with concern.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. I have some ideas in mind, but I still have to look at the specific situation. If necessary, I will definitely trouble you." Shen Jiaan responded.
After he finished speaking, several jade bottles gently wrapped in a warm milky white halo flew out from his sleeves and slowly landed in front of everyone.
As everyone reached out to take the jade bottle, Shen Jia'an's voice echoed again in the courtyard: "This bottle contains a healing elixir that can eliminate all negative conditions in you. This is a small token of my gratitude to all the elders for their hard work."
Shen Jia'an explained some things that needed to be paid attention to when taking the medicine. Then, he turned his eyes slightly, walked towards the house with a half-open door with a calm expression and steady steps.
Looking at his appearance, it was as if the person in the room was a close friend he hadn't seen for many years. This time, he went there just to sit opposite the other person leisurely, set up the chessboard, and spend the leisurely time between the rise and fall of black and white chess pieces, reminiscing about old friendship.
But in reality, Shen Jia'an knew that the person in the room was no friend with whom he could enjoy a drink and chat. Instead, he was a troublesome being with whom he had a complex relationship, eroded by resentment, and protected by a mysterious forbidden spell.
The sparks that are about to collide between them are by no means a discussion or exchange between friends, but a fateful showdown concerning life and death.
