Creation of the Universe

Someone in the group laughed triumphantly.

He smiled and said, "How does the poison I gave you taste? Do you think you can be fearless just because you are good at fighting?

Little did you know that I tampered with your water tank while you were out. Now you are paralyzed and unable to use your spiritual power. Let's see if you can still act recklessly."

Shen Yujin was breathing rapidly and had long lost the ability to move. Although Shen Zhan knew that she was in a bad situation, he had no way to detoxify her directly.

If the other party had used some kind of martial arts, or even talismans, or sorcery, he might have been able to forcibly dissolve it with his cultivation, but this time the other party had obviously poisoned him. Apart from taking the antidote to treat the disease, there was no other way in the short term.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Shen Zhan said to Shen Yujin in a deep voice.

"Hey, what are you doing? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise you will end up worse off than her."

The other party began to threaten Shen Zhan, thinking that he would flee because he was afraid of the consequences.

However, Shen Zhan turned a deaf ear to his words, stood up, picked up Shen Yujin by the waist, and took her directly back to the house.

"Are you deaf? Can't you hear me teaching you a lesson?"

The man was furious and was about to chop Shen Zhan on the back of the head with a knife. But just as he was about to strike, a small blue-green animal with huge eyes crawled out from Shen Zhan's clothes, climbed straight onto his shoulder and bared its teeth at him.

"What kind of monster is this?"

The man was taken aback.

Shen Zhan turned around and asked calmly, "Why did you want to kill her?"

"What does this have to do with you? Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

"I think it's better to ask clearly. It will be convenient for me to distinguish the severity of the crime later. I have to find out whether you deserve to die or not."

Shen Zhan said this seriously, as if the heads of this group of people were already in his pocket.

This completely angered the other side. They rushed forward and planned to hack Shen Zhan to death with their swords, but they were no match for him at all. Shen Zhan easily blocked the blades coming towards him without moving his feet even a step to the left or right.

Seeing that they had spent a lot of effort but were still helpless against the boy in front of them, the group was surprised and started to have evil thoughts.

"Good boy, you have some skills. Well then! Since you don't want to accept my toast, let's burn this place down. You and the woman inside must die!"

Shen Zhan disagreed and asked the other party: "Where is the antidote? It's still not too late to give it to me now."

The man pulled out a bottle of antidote from his arms, shook it in front of Shen Zhan's eyes, and then said provocatively, "The antidote is in my hand, but what if I don't give it to you?"

Shen Zhan ignored him and said to Xiao Guo, "Please get it for me."

Xiaoguo has been with Shen Zhan all the way since leaving the Spirit Beast Forest. Now it is very clear about every word Shen Zhan says, and can execute it immediately without any mistakes.

At this moment, Xiaoguo jumped out of Shen Zhan's arms and rushed straight towards the man holding the antidote in his hand.

"What a weird thing! I'm going to chop you into pieces with one knife!"

As the man spoke, he chopped down with his knife, but he couldn't even touch Xiaoguo's shadow.

When he saw Xiaoguo again, the latter had already flown into the air and bit his wrist directly. The pain made him sweat coldly and cry out in pain.

The antidote also slipped out of his hand and was successfully caught by Xiaoguo and handed to Shen Zhan.

"Xiao Guo, you'll have to deal with these people. I have to go in right away."

After Shen Zhan finished speaking, he looked at the group and warned them, "Don't provoke it, especially don't mention arson in front of it. You'd better take care of yourself."

Xiaoguo took on the responsibility of guarding the house. He stared at the group of people with his big eyes and did not allow them to set foot in the yard.

"Bastards, come on, brothers! If I don't kill this couple today, I won't be a human being!"

They soon came back, and some of them ignored the advice and lit torches directly. Seeing this, Xiaoguo didn't show any mercy to them and opened his mouth to spit out a large ball of fire.

The man in the lead was unable to dodge, and the messy hair on his head was burned by the flames. He shouted in panic, and fear filled his heart deeply.

Once the man ran away, the others naturally didn't dare to stay here any longer. They didn't know what kind of terrible monster Xiaoguo was, and they didn't want to be the next person to be burned.

After driving these people away, Xiaoguo rushed into the house like a victorious general, puffed out his chest towards Shen Zhan, and took big strides back and forth.

At this time, Shen Zhan asked Shen Yujin to take the antidote, and the latter's complexion gradually returned to its rosy color.

When Shen Zhan asked what happened, Shen Yujin explained, "A few days ago, I had a conflict with this group of people. They killed all the cattle and sheep of a farmer's family without any explanation. They were just passing by and suddenly wanted to eat some meat.

One sheep would have been fine, but they actually killed two strong cows, which were the main helpers for farmers in farming. Without the cows, they couldn't even grow crops.

I happened to see them and stepped forward to stop them. After I beat them away, I realized that they were all members of the Red Shirt Sect.

Shen Zhan asked curiously, "What kind of force is the Red Shirt Sect? How dare they be so lawless? Floating Cloud City is so peaceful, yet they dare to come here and poison and kill people. It's simply lawless."

Shen Yujin straightened up and told Shen Zhan, "The 'Dao' in the Red Shirt Dao should have been the 'Dao' as in 'bandit', but now that their leader has gained power, these evildoers have followed suit and started to act pretentiously.

You came into the city today, so you must have known that there was a happy event in the city, right?"

Shen Zhan nodded.

"The man the young lady of the Chu family is going to marry is none other than the son of the leader of this group of red-shirted bandits. They're causing trouble for the entire area, and the Chu family, a prominent and aristocratic family in the city, is left in a state of panic and helpless. In the end, they have to compromise by marrying off their daughter. It's truly heartbreaking."

When Shen Zhan heard the news, he was shocked.

The Donghai Chu family, which was so glorious in the past, has fallen to such a state now?

"Hasn't the Chu family produced any decent talents over the years? Considering their family background, heritage, and status, they shouldn't have fallen to this point."

Shen Yujin shook his head and said, "The Chu family is no longer what it used to be. In fact, before the current head, Chu Tiankuo, took over, the Chu family had already shown signs of failure. Now it is just a dying insect with a centipede but not yet cut into pieces."
