Creation of the Universe

Go up to Xuanzong, in front of the deacon hall.

Tieya is still cleaning up the mess.

Although the fire in the Deacon Hall was extinguished, the house had already been reduced to ashes. The most important thing now was to rescue the injured disciples. They were beaten badly by Su Yu and suffered a lot.

"Ouch, that hurts so much, is my leg broken?"

A disciple asked while crying.

"Humph, this little injury is nothing. Don't lose face for the disciples of Shangxuan Sect!"

Tieya scolded harshly.

But no matter how strict he was, it was difficult to change the dejected look of these disciples. In the past, they always talked about promoting righteousness and slaying demons and monsters, but today when they finally got the chance, they happened to meet Su Yu, a thousand-year-old demon.

The first enemy they encountered was an unexpectedly powerful one. It was already a mercy from Su Yu that they were able to survive despite being in this state.

The blow to self-confidence caused by this is also difficult to recover from immediately.

Tieya came up to a disciple and said in a deep voice, "I usually tell you to train hard, but you ignored me. Now you've suffered the consequences. Let's see if you dare to slack off again in the future!"

The disciple said in frustration, "Master, why is that demon fox so powerful? It set a fire in our Shangxuan Sect and injured so many of our fellow disciples, yet it can still advance and retreat freely?"

"This time, we were caught off guard and she took advantage of us. You can rest assured. I will definitely find an opportunity to avenge you."

Tieya made a solemn promise in front of everyone.

Then, he turned around and saw the headmaster Xu Qingzhao standing in the distance watching here. His heart trembled immediately and he walked over with a guilty conscience.

"Master, weren't you in seclusion? Why did you come out?"

Xu Qingzhao stared blankly and said, "It's really outrageous that it has become like this."

Tieya immediately reported, "Yes, Shen Zhan is a wicked man with evil ambitions. We allowed him to stay overnight out of kindness, but he secretly broke into the Dragon Bone Cave and even teamed up with the demon fox to burn down the Deacon Hall. His evil deeds are truly unforgivable!"

"Oh? Shen Zhan went to Dragon Bone Cave?"

"Indeed, he may have taken something from the Dragon Bone Cave. We in the Shangxuan Sect must not let him go. How about I bring a few disciples with higher cultivation levels and chase him down? Otherwise, if today's incident gets out to the world, it will surely draw the ridicule of the world!"

"Master, there is no time to lose. We must make a decision as soon as possible!"

Tieya put all the blame on Shen Zhan and tried to use the power of Shangxuan Sect to take the dragon bone crystal soul back from Shen Zhan.

However, Xu Qingzhao, who had already seen through everything, did not respond at all.

"Take good care of the injured disciples, and get some healing pills from the pill recipe for them. Remember this lesson in the future."

"Master, this..."

Tieya insisted again, "The injured disciples are not in danger of death and will recover soon. However, this matter cannot be let go like this. Shen Zhan must pay the price for his actions!"

"Even if you can deal with Shen Zhan, do you have any way to deal with the demon girl beside him? You can't be so blind as to not see that she has thousands of years of Taoism experience, right?"

Xu Qingzhao had already given enough face by saying this. If she had been blunt, with Tieya's level of cultivation, he would be no match for Su Yu, and he would be the one who would bring shame to Shang Xuanzong.

Tieya said indignantly, "Even if she has cultivated for a thousand years, she is only at 30% of her strength after taking the Xuanqing Pill. I can definitely match her with some of my men. Why is the headmaster trying to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige?"

"No need to say more. This matter is over. Besides, what evidence do you have to prove that Shen Zhan took the things from Dragon Bone Cave?"

Xu Qingzhao's question stumped Tieya.

"You are old enough. You should know how to make big things small and small things disappear. I believe Shen Zhan has no ill intentions and will not do anything wrong."

As she spoke, Xu Qingzhao waved her hand to stop Tieya from arguing any further.

"Soon, the young talents selected by each vassal state will gather in Beiliang to participate in the Martial Alliance. You will go to Emperor Xuanzong on my behalf to make an appearance and, by the way, identify a few talented individuals to recruit as your disciples."

"But Brother, I have a lot of things to deal with in the Deacon Hall, so I really can't get away!"

Tieya said.

However, Xu Qingzhao smiled and asked him, "Didn't the Deacon Hall burn down? I don't think it will need to be rebuilt in the future."

Tieya: “…”

After descending Zhenwu Mountain, Su Yu said that she would go find the remaining half of the Qiankun Zaohua Jue scroll and give it to Shen Zhan as her way of repaying Shen Zhan.

Shen Zhan didn't know where she was going to look, but she seemed very confident, so they parted at the foot of the mountain, and then Shen Zhan went to the East China Sea as agreed.

The Chu family of the East China Sea, where Chu Qiu is from, is a very famous aristocratic family in the Xuantian Continent. The Chu family has a profound heritage and has produced many talented people. It is very influential among all the countries. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is a Linglong Nine-Aperture Sword in their family's treasure house.

In order to rescue Hu Meng who had just died from disintegration, Shen Zhan hoped to obtain Linglong Jiuqiao as soon as possible. At this time, he didn't know whether Chu Qiu was doing well or not, and Shen Zhan always felt a little uneasy.

Two days later, in Donghai Floating Cloud City.

As soon as Shen Zhan entered Floating Cloud City, he was enveloped by the festive atmosphere in the city. It seemed that everyone in the city, from the wealthy nobles to the beggars in the market, was grinning and laughing.

Such an atmosphere is hard to find even in the capital of the Tiande Dynasty. It seems as if this is the most harmonious and peaceful paradise in the world.

Shen Zhan walked into a noodle shop, ordered a bowl of noodles, and then asked the waiter, "Brother, I see that everyone in the city is so happy, walking like the wind. Did something good happen recently?

Or has Floating Cloud City always been like this?"

The noodle shop waiter smiled and replied, "Young Master, you are from another place, no wonder you don't know anything. The reason everyone is so happy is because their daughter is getting married."

This answer made Shen Zhan even more confused. "Daughter? Whose daughter? Of course, marrying off a daughter wouldn't require the entire city to make such a fuss, right?"

The waiter explained, "No matter who's daughter gets married, it's never as earth-shattering as the second daughter of the Chu family. Everyone has watched her grow up, just like she's their own daughter. That's why everyone is so happy."

Chu family?

"Could it be the Chu family, the famous family in the East China Sea whose fame will last for generations with every page and scroll?"

The waiter paused, then said intriguingly, "Well... it's hard to say whether it's a famous family or not, but it's definitely the Chu family you're talking about. The head of the family, Chu Tiankuo, recently got his daughter married, and the whole city is buzzing with excitement."
