Chapter 145 Dragon Palace
"True Lord Xiansi? You found me so quickly." Having chosen a small market town to stay in, Shen Suiren didn't bother to avoid the eyes and ears of the various sects. He was about to go open the door.

Shen Dingru spoke first, "I'll go. Don't be too confrontational with her when we talk later. Try to arouse her suspicion."

As soon as the door opened, he called out "Elder!" and Xuan Si flashed in front of Shen Suiren.

The latter used his spiritual power to push Jiang Guo'er into the room.

Qin Pinzhang and Wuyou, who were protecting her, were thrown far away by Xuan Si's spiritual power. The two of them turned around and protected Shen Suiren behind them.

Shen Dingru had already stretched out his arm to block Xian Si, saying, "Elder, don't frighten my son."

Xian Si said coldly, "Who can scare her? I won't say anything more to you, nor will I hurt her."

Then, he looked directly at Shen Suiren and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. At the beginning of the year, we will withdraw your bounty order."

My son would never go and kill a mere mortal.

"Your own daughter certainly didn't kill my mother." Shen Suiren didn't ask how the other party knew it was her who assigned the task, she only said:

"It was Lianqiao who killed my mother, but as a Nascent Soul cultivator, is True Lord really certain that this Lianqiao is the same Lianqiao?"

"At the beginning of the year! I, the True Lord, have come to you with serious business." True Lord Xiansi was furious. By the time she received the news, many Nascent Soul and Core Formation cultivators had already made their move.

Forsythia is in great danger no matter where she is or whether she is being held hostage.

Qin Pinzhang stopped Shen Suiren from speaking again, and cupped his hands and said, "Senior, I heard that Lianqiao has gone missing. I have something to show you."

He released a memory jade and instantly used magic to magnify the image.

Shen Suiren recognized at a glance that the streets and people depicted were from the small town of Duanjie Mountain where she had lived.

A moment later, the camera focused on the inn he had rented, and he saw the lame Core Formation cultivator and the one-armed Core Formation cultivator hurriedly enter the gate.

Before long, the two of them came out again, looking furious, and met the gaze of a male cultivator who had walked out of the street corner.

Qin Pinzhang fixed the male cultivator's perspective, "Senior, do you recognize who this is?"

He reached out and touched it, and saw the three of them meet at the city gate and fly towards Broken Boundary Mountain.

"..." True Monarch Xiansi stared intently at the person on the screen. It was clearly Lian Qiao; even in disguise, she couldn't fool his eyes.

Wasn't this child kidnapped? Did he leave on his own?

Why would she be so deeply involved with the Tengluo Society? The couple didn't lack her cultivation resources.

Xian Si took a deep breath and said, "I don't recognize him."

Shen Suiren pointed to the people on the screen, "Then let me introduce them to you, True Lord. The one-armed man is a Core Formation cultivator from the Tengluo Society. No matter how fat his face becomes or how short his hair becomes, he is still on one of the wanted posters issued by the Alliance."

The lame man once ran a robe shop next to the Si family's weapon-refining shop in the Taiyi Sect Market.

Completely unarmed, she was a female cultivator in disguise, she was…

String-Spirit True Lord gritted his teeth and interrupted her, turning to walk towards the courtyard gate: "Shen Suichu, you're something else."

Guess what the cultivators in the cultivation world will do when they know you spend ten million spirit stones in one go?

"If you spread the word today, I'll raise the price to twenty million tomorrow." Who's afraid of who?

"You!" Xiansi turned around and glared at her.

Qin Pinzhang grabbed the flashing communication jade, "Senior, someone has found forsythia in the Xuanjian Sect market."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiansi had already vanished.

Everyone watched her leave, and it was a long time before they put away the talisman they had hidden in their hands.

"Will she investigate?" Wuyou asked doubtfully.

"Not necessarily." Shen Suiren stared at Qin Pin's communication jade. "Is there really any trace of Forsythia?"

"No, Uncle Wendao is urging us to go back." Qin Pinzhang was also giving True Monarch Xiansi a way out, asking her to leave quickly.

"As soon as it's light, head to the city with the teleportation array."

You can cultivate diligently for a few years. With your father outside, even if you can't find Lianqiao for a while, you will never let her have an easy time.

She'd better have the guts to go to Shen Family Village. He left the Howling Moon Wolf with Uncle Fang and issued missions to the Shen family members to protect mortal families. Someone would be secretly monitoring them around tomorrow.

Having his own child threatened by Nascent Soul cultivators time and time again, Shen Dingru only hoped that she would reach Core Formation soon and have some ability to protect herself.

In fact, Lian Qiao is having a very difficult time right now. She and Que San had just found a small town for cultivating immortality and wanted to settle down and wait for Que Er when they saw the bounty poster at the city gate.

Furthermore, everyone entering the city must obtain a new identity token from the two Core Formation cultivators standing nearby.

Lian Qiao glanced at the table and saw her portrait and a mirror that required facial recognition to identify people. She turned around, jumped onto the flying boat, and left.

"Master Sparrow, who is picking a fight with you?"

Two Core Formation cultivators guarding the door for spirit stones—how beneath them! Que San quickly followed.

"Too talkative." The hatred for killing one's mother? Lian Qiao rarely killed people herself; she usually gave orders to Que Yi and Que Er to do it.

If she hadn't seen it today, she would have forgotten that she had killed her mother at the beginning of the year.

"Contact Que Er again and tell him we're going to the mortal realm."

"The family of the person who launched the mission?"

"Take a break!" Lian Qiao glanced at him, somewhat regretting pushing Que Er down; Que San didn't even think.

Why go and kill someone at this time? Is it because you think you're being hunted down too slowly?

She was willing to bet that at the beginning of that year, the father and daughter must have deployed people in the mortal realm.

"Que Er, still no news. Could it be that he failed to shake off those people?" Que San was a little anxious, but dared not show it on his face.

After the demon infant Que Er fled, it immediately went to the mountains and forests of the mortal realm and chose a bird to possess.

From the moment the Sparrow Master pushed him out of the teleportation scroll, he decided not to look for her anymore, and that they would meet again in the Northern Mystic Realm ten years later.

At this moment, he remembered what Que Yi had once said: "In critical moments, your Que Master loves to use others as shields."

Sparrow Two, why do you think the Sparrow King keeps sending someone who doesn't care about her teammates to the Taiyuan Realm?

Is he really being entrusted with an important task?

"You mean, the Sparrow Lord was originally born in the Taiyuan Realm?"
No, the Sparrow King has other people on his side.

“I didn’t say that, you’re the one who brought it up.”

"Have you seen him before?" Que Er had pressed him for a long time that day, offering many benefits in exchange for a name.

Should we go look for him now that he's recovered from his injuries?
……

After returning to the sect and handing over a copy of the portrait, Shen Suiren exchanged it for spirit stones from the Hall of Merit and kept staring at the original portrait of the Zhuang family ancestor.

"At the beginning of the year, take a break from looking at things for half a day." Shen Dingru brought her the most nourishing spiritual meal from the Spiritual Diet Hall.

Several demon kings who were staying there followed behind. They had already taken human form and looked about the size of a seven or eight-year-old human child, a time when they were mischievous and active.

Upon seeing Shen Suiren return, and noticing her father's friendly demeanor, he wanted to come and inquire about the demon race.

The fox demons are the most clever and well-informed: "At the beginning of the year, I heard that the fox clan chief and Dragon King Ao Chen had returned."

Why didn't they come to pick us up? After all, Elder Ying has already reached the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

"The Snow Fox told you?" Shen Suiren invited several eighth-tier minor demon kings to sit down and eat together.

"Hmm." The fox demon had just nodded when she saw the gibbon climb onto the desk.

As she ran to pull the monkey down, the gibbon pointed at the portrait and said, "I've seen him before."

Shen Suiren dropped her bowl and rushed over, asking, "Which one? Chu Mo?"

"No, this. More than two hundred years ago, he captured me; I was from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect."

"What cultivation level?"

"He looks like he's at level five, but he was able to catch me when I was at level seven. I'm not sure what level he is."

"Hiding in the Foundation Establishment stage, they'll be even harder to find now." Shen Suiren didn't think the other party would stay in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect forever; no Foundation Establishment disciple in any sect would be over three hundred years old. The other party would definitely end up living among rogue cultivators, which would be safer.

Shen Dingru suddenly had a new idea: "The Core Formation stage only lasts for five hundred years. Would these people be willing to endure thirty-six heavenly lightning strikes in the Taiyuan Realm to form their Nascent Soul?"

“It’s impossible for Nascent Soul cultivators to waste three hundred years here; perhaps some of them have already gone back.”

Bi Zhangbei's journey to the Mysterious Realm only takes a hundred years, which is indeed convenient for them to allocate personnel. Shen Suiren stared at the portrait for a while longer.

"Never mind, leave it to Grandmaster to handle, I'm going into seclusion."

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect should investigate this person; what if they uncover another one?

"Here, take this with you." After seeing off the group of demons after the meal, Shen Dingru gave her several large storage bags, which contained prepared supplies for clothing, food, shelter, and transportation.

In particular, one bag was full of mid-grade spirit stones, amounting to about 100,000, which is equivalent to 10 million low-grade spirit stones.

"Dad, you're spoiling your daughter too much. What will you use if I take all the spirit stones away?"
Besides, I have many high-grade spirit stones. I spent a thousand on my mother and still have some left. Moreover, there's no guarantee that anyone will be able to find Lianqiao, so we might not even be able to spend the remaining payment.

People are easy to kill, but hard to find.

Shen Suiren preferred to kill him personally after he emerged from seclusion.

"Your master told me that you have nine hundred high-grade spirit stones stored in the Merit Hall, as well as some mid-grade ones on your person. After you take them all, she will pay you a reward."

You use these mid-grade items to pay the bill, exchange them for the high-grade items, and keep them for your cultivation.

These are the spirit stones that I've been entitled to from the silver mine over the past ten years. Father doesn't lack spirit stones." Shen Dingru had never experienced poverty since childhood, and he had never lacked spirit stones during his cultivation journey. He would never let his daughter suffer like she had before.

"Look, I still have dozens of high-grade spirit stones, 80,000 mid-grade spirit stones, and 40,000 low-grade spirit stones on me."

"The alliance's rewards can also be exchanged for spirit stones." Shen Suiren quickly released several of his treasure chests.

She still has nearly ten thousand high-grade spirit stones inside her pearl that she hasn't taken out yet. There are many spirit stone mines in Beihai No. 4, which she can mine at will.

Shen Suiren kept everything else, but returned the spirit stone to his father.

Shen Dingru insisted on giving it to her: "Go find your master to exchange it for you, so you can use it when you form your core later."

Becoming a Grand Array Master requires spending a lot of spirit stones.

Furthermore, after you reach the Core Formation stage, build a proper cave dwelling and dig a small secret vault to store your treasures in various locations.

“Then I’ll give Father a portion of Dragon God Wood and Purple Gold Thunder Bamboo.”

"You added it to the Dragon Abyss Sword." Shen Suiren took out the two items, and the Dragon Abyss Sword flew out with a whoosh to thank her.

He added, "If you go to the Xuanhuang Realm, I will take you to find the treasure vault of the former master."

"The teleportation array isn't working." Shen Suiren wasn't going to take its bait.

After contacting my grandmaster, I went to Beihai No. 4 accompanied by my master and father.

In just a few days, 20,000 to 30,000 Foundation Establishment cultivators have gathered here.

If it weren't for the requirement to break the formation and the limitation of only nine hundred people to enter for cultivation, there would probably be many more people coming.

As soon as she appeared, the Nascent Soul cultivators leading the various sects all turned their attention to her, and two or three of them didn't mind greeting her first.

"Young friend, how much longer until it opens?"

"Is limiting it to nine hundred people at the beginning of the year too few?"

The relatives and friends you brought in will take up quite a few spots.

"Young friend Shen, shall we talk about the Daozang?"

His death was somewhat related to you; shouldn't you give the Fallen God Sect an explanation? The Fallen God Sect's Nascent Soul cultivator simply shrunk the earth to an inch to meet her.

Wen Jin flew over in a flash, "What's the explanation?"
"What about the Daoist monk who collected the souls of my sect's disciples?"

"How can a low-level cultivator compare to a high-level one?" The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Fallen God Sect wouldn't shout for revenge for Daozang. A traitor who betrayed his master and ancestors is better off dead so they don't have to share his resources. They only want the benefits.

By the way, who was present at the beginning of the year?

"Senior, do you think the Great Perfection of Core Formation is now considered low-level or high-level?" Shen Suiren walked towards Hengde Zhenren, who flew over in a wheelchair, and pushed him in front of the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Fallen God Sect.

“I was partly responsible for killing Daozang. If you can bring my fellow disciples back to life, I am willing to pay with my life.” She stared directly at the other person.

Before the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Fallen God Sect could say anything more, the communication jades of all the Nascent Soul cultivators present kept ringing.

He glanced over quickly: "The Dragon Palace has exploded? What happened?"

Shen Suiren was also stunned. Seeing the Nascent Souls gathered together and talking, she quickly took off her communication jade to see if there was any news.

However, Master Situ Shiyuan and Shen Dingru exchanged a glance, grabbed her, and flew towards the gate of Beihai No. 4.

"Go inside now. From today onwards, what happens outside is none of your business. You are not allowed to show your face again."

"Master..." Please let me figure out what's going on. Is the Purple Dragon King still alive?

Of course, he's not dead yet.

Moreover, Ao Zitang did not see Cen Che Zhenjun at all, because she met Wu Xuanzi, who was looking for her in his primordial spirit form, and the two of them blew up the Dragon Palace together.

"Dragon King, it's been a long time."

"Wu Xuanzi, have you already explored the earth's veins to the East Sea?"

"Yes, the descendants of those people who went to the Xuanhuang Realm are truly ruthless, using layers of formations to sever the dragon energy of the Taiyuan Realm's earth veins."

Purple Dragon King, I don't have much time left. A few days ago, I found Uncle Chen Chu's array diagram and message in a secret place.

She said that as the great war drew to a close, they discovered that the Taiyuan Realm was in disarray, and she personally went to the Xuanhuang Realm to ask you to act as her intermediary.

"Didn't I come?"

"No, you are trapped in a secret place by your clan leader, where the sea eye is suppressed."

These are the conditions the Dragon Clan of the Xuanhuang Realm has agreed to give up their territory for you to move to.

"Roar!" The Purple Lotus Dragon King thrust its head in front of her. "Chen Chu, haven't you found the sea eye?"

She believed that she would find someone who could save her.

"No, this is the route map she was looking for. If you are destined, you can find it yourself." Wu Xuanzi took out the item he had found in the North Sea Secret Land.

The Dragon King glanced at the item and put it away, then looked at the little Dragon King who was frolicking in the seabed. "The Thunder Dragon is the best for suppressing the sea eye. Once my true form disappears, Ao Jian will be their next target."

"Aunt Zitang, come down and play with me." The Little Dragon King noticed her divine sense and flew out amidst the seawater.

Ao Zitang smiled and said, "Go find Zhu Kuang in the camp for your aunt and ask him for something."

"Okay, what is it?"

"It's written here, take it to her." Ao Zitang handed him a jade box from the Dragon Palace and watched him fly to the camp a hundred miles away.

He then said, "I'll activate the backup channel to teleport to the spirit world and blow up all the teleportation portals there."

"You join me in blowing up the Dragon Palace; that's my last act of service to the Taiyuan Realm."

"May you find your true form soon." This was Wu Xuanzi's intention. She knew that when her uncle built the Dragon Palace, he would definitely open a one-way emergency passage for the Dragon King.

Moreover, all the formations are equipped with a self-destruct mechanism, depending entirely on whether the Dragon King is willing to destroy them.

What she didn't expect was that the Dragon King not only destroyed the formation, but also blew up the Dragon Palace.

A moment later, Zhu Kuang brought the Little Dragon King a lot of thunder talismans, but was driven away again.

The next day, Wu Xuanzi lit the incense in her hand, activated the lightning array she had set up, and simultaneously destroyed the teleportation origin and destination between the two realms with the Dragon King.

The Spirit Realm Sword Sect's array masters, who were still slowly repairing the teleportation system, had no idea what had happened; the teleportation node had been completely reduced to ashes.

The news was reported, and the Mahayana practitioners started arguing again. Some people's attention was also turned to the Northern Profound Realm.

Shen Suiren received the definite news three days later, when Shen Shuo brought it to her as he entered the secret realm with a large group of cultivators.

"How is Ancestor Wu? Is there any news about Lianqiao?"

"Where's the Little Dragon King? Is he causing trouble?"
