My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 187 Clues Appear
Two days later,
The continuous heavy rain has been going on for more than half a month.
There was no rest along the way.

The sky was overcast.

All I could see was a vast expanse of white.
The sound of raindrops pattering on the grass and trees echoed everywhere.
Meanwhile, the rapidly flowing rainwater on the ground was almost ankle-deep.

In such an environment,
If you stay too long,
My mood definitely won't be very good.

But at this time,
Shen Zeyu walked through the heavy rain, strolling along the streets of the commercial district.

But I was in a very good mood.

The heavy rain doesn't actually have a significant impact on cultivators.

Even for cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining,
The magic power is dispersed and condensed into a magical shield around it, which is enough to keep out all the wind and rain from entering.

For cultivators in the mid-to-late stages of Qi Refining, it's even simpler.
By freely releasing one's magical power, one can create an invisible barrier around oneself, remaining completely dry even when walking in torrential rain.

Also because of this,

At this time, there were still many cultivators walking back and forth in the commercial area of ​​Dawancun Village.

Alternatively, one could travel to the temporary headquarters of several merchant guilds to purchase various supplies needed for cultivation.
Or wander among the stalls in the square, which are set up under thatched sheds and have high tables, to see if there are any items you need.

It looks like,
The rainy season did not cause this commercial district to wither away.

Instead, due to the leech infestation in the mountains, many cultivators had to abandon their mountain explorations and gather in settlements such as Dawan Village.

This will further boost the prosperity of the world!

Shen Zeyu stood with his hands behind his back.

Wandering around the business district, his eyes and gazes took in the surroundings with great interest.

It was as if he was carefully taking stock of his family's assets.

His figure finally stopped in an open space, taking in most of the commercial district, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad at all. Shen Changchuan's management is quite good."

have to say,

That illegitimate son named Shen Changchuan was quite adept at managing his affairs.

The layout of the commercial areas, the style of the shops, and the design of the streets are all very creative.

It takes into account all parties.

How did Dawan Village develop from a mere remote rural village in the mountains to a place that is almost comparable to a major cultivation town?
It's not entirely due to favorable timing and location.

His personal abilities are also commendable.

"It's just a pity that without sufficient strength, no matter how well you develop, you'll just be someone else's prey."

"Don't blame us. Blame the world. Even if we don't act, others will surely intervene once they find out. Who told you you couldn't protect yourself?"

Shen Zeyu recalled the decision he had discussed with the others earlier.

He couldn't help but think to himself.

Although he knew it

This is not fair to that illegitimate son named Shen Changchuan.

The results of hard work
It was eventually picked by someone.

This made even him, as the perpetrator, feel a pang of pity for them.

After all, according to their plans,
The foundation this young man has built with great effort will ultimately fall into their hands for nothing.

If the plan succeeds, the outcome will be extremely unfortunate.

But pity is pity,

But Shen Zeyu's actions were completely unclear.

no way,
The stakes are too high!
and,

Why did he lack the strength to protect himself?
With only a cultivation level of the fourth or fifth stage of Qi Refining, controlling such a powerful cultivation town with immense benefits is like a child carrying a gold brick through a bustling marketplace.

It should fall into the hands of a virtuous person.
Judging from the current prosperity of Dawang Village,

Even if the profits are split among several people after the money ends up in their hands, it's still an income of several thousand spirit stones a year.
Even better if done well,
It might even become the foundation that these families pass down to their descendants.
Such benefits.
How could we possibly give up just because of a little pity or regret?
Just as Shen Zeyu was envisioning the future and dreaming of a large influx of spirit stones into his account...

A figure wearing a straw hat and a raincoat walked past him.

Shen Zeyu didn't pay any attention.

This business district is so prosperous,
Countless cultivators have passed by him. Does he really have to scrutinize every single person who crosses his path?
The figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the rain.

Something inside the storage bag moved.
He was so excited about earning thousands of spirit stones just by sitting around that he didn't pay any attention to the activity in his storage bag.
Until fifteen minutes later,
He suddenly remembered something.
His expression suddenly froze as he was daydreaming and his thoughts were wandering.

wrong,

just,

The storage bag seems to be moving?

Shen Zeyu quickly took out a storage bag hanging from his sleeve and took out a jade talisman.

at this time,

The jade talisman pulsed, its entire body shimmering with a blood-red light.

Shen Zeyu's pupils suddenly contracted.

The Blood Chasing Talisman is reacting.
Just passed by,
Is that Shen Chong?!
not good! ! !

"Be careful of that kid named Zhang Qingyuan?"

"Need not."

"I remember that although the Shen family has a subordinate family called the Zhang family, there is no one named Zhang Qingyuan in the direct line of the Zhang family. It seems that he is mostly a freelancer from outside the family."

"We acted through the First Madam, and dealt with him using the Shen family's internal channels. What can an outsider like him do? Does he dare to interfere in the internal affairs of our Shen family?"

"Besides, what can a mere rogue cultivator with no background possibly accomplish?"

"Although Shen Changchuan has somehow gained some connections and can be considered a capable person, unfortunately we are members of the Shen clan, and our affairs are internal matters."

"In that case, it's settled then."

"Contact the First Madam; we'll make our move in three days."

Inside an inconspicuous room,

Several figures were plotting something.

suddenly,

boom!
The door was suddenly kicked open.

The tension in the room instantly tightened, and everyone's eyes snapped towards the doorway.
Shen Zeyu burst through the door and barged in.

Familiar faces,
It allowed my tense mind to relax.

Someone immediately wanted to shout out a curse.

But before he could even utter a curse,
Shen Zeyu then said hurriedly:

"Shen Chong! That damned Shen Chong has appeared!"

"What? Where is he? Where did you run into him?!"

"Just now."

Shen Zeyu then quickly recounted the previous events.

After understanding the situation,

The expressions on the faces of those present were somewhat uncertain.

"What do we do? We finally caught that cunning brat's trail, but according to the plan, in three days..."

"Forget it! Let's postpone planning for Dawang Village!"

Among the crowd, the one who seemed to be in charge immediately made a decision.

“Dawan Village is right here, you can come and pick it up anytime.”

"But that brat named Shen Chong escaped this time, and who knows when we'll find him again!"

"Don't forget, the First Madam only gave me a month to wait!"

With this remark,
There were no further objections from those present.

"Let's go then, let's catch up with that brat Shen Chong first!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Shen Zeyu and the others inside quickly made a decision, filed out of the house, closed the door, and disappeared into the heavy rain.
however,
What they didn't know was...
After their figures disappeared into the distance
The world was shrouded in torrential rain.
Shen Changchuan's figure

Quietly emerged from the corner behind the house.
He stared blankly in the direction they had left.
