Creation of the Universe

Although Shen Zhan was a little curious about what was strange on the giant ship, he didn't want to cause any trouble.

When traveling in the world, one will always encounter many strange things. For these experienced old men, no matter how strange the thing is, it is not worth making a fuss about.

The Chu sisters and Shen Yunli are different. Their previous life experiences are somewhat similar. They all stay in the place where they were born and live a monotonous life.

For them, this was a rare opportunity to travel far away, and many things were new to them, not to mention the giant ship flying on the land in front of them, and what exactly was going on with that black air?

Chu Rumeng said timidly, "It looked amazing from a distance just now, but I didn't expect it to be so close now. It makes me feel even more incredible!"

"Royal nobles like to ride in carriages and imperial carriages when they go out, while wealthy families often ride in sedan chairs carried by eight men. Those who practice Taoism in sects use various methods. In addition to the common oxen and horses, they also ride various spiritual beasts. Those with high realms can even control the beasts.

I wonder who this person sitting on the boat is, but he's so unique!"

Chu Ruxuan is the one with some experience in the martial arts world among the three women, and she is very interested in the owner of the huge ship in front of her.

At this time, the stern of the ship passed by, slowly widening the distance between it and their group, and nothing unusual happened.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly flew out from an attic above the giant ship, fell heavily from a high place and died in front of Shen Zhan and others.

Shen Yunli gasped and covered her lips with her slender white hands. It was the first time she had witnessed such a horrifying scene.

The man lay on the ground, blood splattered in all directions centered on his body. It seemed impossible for him to survive.

Meng Zhong's thick eyebrows suddenly knitted together. He stepped forward and leaned over to take a closer look. Then he said to Shen Zhan, "Brother, this man was already dead before he fell."

"How did he die?"

Shen Zhan asked casually, but he still had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.

Meng Zhong turned the body over and examined it carefully before answering, "Strange, there are no injuries on this person. It doesn't look like he was killed by someone."

"How could a good person become like this? What happened on the ship?"

Shen Yunli's voice trembled slightly, she was indeed frightened.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiuyuan put on the airs of a master and said loudly, "How did he die? I can tell at a glance."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, looking down at the body with a sharp gaze, and quickly made his own conclusion, "This person's heart meridian is severed. It's hard to tell from the outside, so he died of exhaustion."

"Death from exhaustion?"

"Why, do you doubt my judgment?"

Zhu Xiuyuan glared at Meng Zhong unhappily.

Meng Zhong said, "Since there are no external injuries, it's possible. However, he fell from such a high place and was treated like a pig or a dog. The people on the boat are likely the ones who caused his death."

"It's fine, let's continue on our journey."

Shen Zhan said this lightly, showing an indifferent attitude towards this issue.

"Master, do we really not need to care about this?"

Chu Rumeng asked doubtfully.

Shen Zhan replied, "Homicide cases will be handled by the government. If it involves disputes within the martial arts world, the various sects involved will naturally handle it. We don't need to worry about it. Similar incidents are countless in the martial arts world. Even if we wanted to intervene, how could we possibly handle them all?"

Chu Ruxuan nodded, "Master is right, we should hurry on our way."

Everyone agreed. Since the person was already dead and the victim could not be found, even if Shen Zhan wanted to help, what could he do?

Shen Zhan, Zhu Xiuyuan and Meng Zhong had all experienced bloody storms, and were almost unmoved by what was happening before their eyes. However, for the three girls, it still brought a lot of psychological shock.

"How about this, Meng Zhong, you go find a suitable place and bury the body. Since we've come across it, we can't just leave it exposed on the roadside."

In order to take care of Shen Yunli's emotions, Shen Zhan specifically said this to Meng Zhong.

Meng Zhong responded, quickly found a piece of land, and properly placed the body. It was done in a short while.

Shen Yunli placed a stone on the pile of earth, hesitating about what to write, but didn't know how to start.

Meng Zhong saw this and said, "Sister Yunli, I know you want to leave a mark to help this person's family and friends find his burial place in the future. However, we often have the will but not the ability to do things like this. Many people are forgotten forever in silence in the wilderness."

When he said this, something seemed to flash in Meng Zhong's eyes.

At this moment, he thought of his former comrades-in-arms. He couldn't remember how many times he had buried his brothers, who had lived and died together, in the pit with his own hands, just like he was doing now.

Shen Yunli sensed the heavy atmosphere and sighed, "If I could choose, I would rather find a place with my brother where no one would bother me and live happily forever."

Meng Zhong looked at this simple and kind girl and felt a little reluctant, because he knew that although Shen Yunli's wish was beautiful, it was impossible to achieve.

Shen Zhan still has two deep hatreds to avenge. One is owed in his previous life, and the other is encountered by his current identity. If he does not take revenge, he has no reason to hide from the world.

As the giant ship sailed away, the group continued on their journey and gradually put the matter behind them.

The journey to Dingzhou was not far, and Shen Zhan was not in a hurry. While teaching Rumeng and Ruxuan the methods and techniques of cultivation, he also taught Shen Yunli by words and deeds and took good care of her.

However, doing so aroused Zhu Xiuyuan's dissatisfaction.

That day, Shen Zhan was about to teach Shen Yunli the Qiankun Creation Technique, but Zhu Xiuyuan shouted at him angrily, "Hey, stop, I have something to tell you!"

Shen Zhan followed Zhu Xiuyuan to a secluded place, only to see the latter angrily ask, "Shen Zhan, what do you mean by this? This is my new beloved disciple, and it's your turn to teach her?"

"What's wrong with this...?"

Shen Zhan asked nonchalantly, "Yun Li is my sister. What's wrong with me teaching her something? Do I need your permission?"

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately retorted, "I can teach my disciple myself. What if you teach her badly? I come from a legitimate and prestigious family, not from some undisciplined background. Yunli needs to lay a solid foundation right now, and you can't ruin things!"

"But I'm worried that you, old man, are hiding things and are unwilling to pass on all your skills to Li'er."

Shen Zhan became sarcastic.
