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

Chapter 386 Clan Elders

Inside the desolate city.

A massive light curtain enveloped the sky above, sealing off all four entrances to the top.

Simultaneously,

The entire city is under martial law.

Law enforcement teams composed of cultivators at the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm were patrolling and on guard along the streets.

Occasionally,

A streak of light flew across the sky.

That is the state of being beyond the physical body.

at this time,

The Third Elder, who was originally in seclusion in his cave at the Shen family's residence, was also awakened.

He went outside.
It hovers above the base.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Zheng, wait a minute, what's going on? Could it be that the enemy has attacked?"

The third elder of the Shen family saw a familiar figure fly by.

He hurriedly chased after the other person and asked.

Such a city-wide alert,
Even looking at the few years since the establishment of the Wilderness City, there are very few!

Every time such a major action is taken, it means something big has happened!
Could it be that they were defeated at the Battle of Broken Soul Mountain?

The third elder of the Shen family couldn't help but feel worried.

"Something happened!"

"Someone infiltrated the Desolate City and ambushed that person's disciple; they almost succeeded!"

"Someone has discovered something amiss, and they're currently hunting down that person!"

The fellow Daoist Zheng spoke in a somewhat hurried voice.

He saw the third elder of the Shen family.
Suddenly, he was taken aback and said with some surprise.

"This... Fellow Daoist Shen, you didn't know about this?"

"It was your Shen family's prodigy who exposed that traitor!"

"Well... Fellow Daoist Zheng, as you know, I've been in seclusion for some time and am not aware of what's happening outside."

The third elder of the Shen family opened his mouth, but paused for a moment before speaking.

But fortunately,
He finally revealed the excuse he had prepared long ago.

no way,
Should he tell the other party?

Was it to avoid contact with that person that you went into seclusion in your cave after learning of their arrival?
So much so that during the days that kid arrived, the Shen family didn't even contact him.

"What the hell is going on?"

The third elder of the Shen family did not intend to delve deeper into this topic and could only quickly change the subject.

Just thinking about that prodigy from the family...

He looked somewhat unnatural.

Without him,

It's simply because he was too deeply involved with the First Madam.
"Oh, that's roughly how it happened."

Fellow Daoist Zheng didn't delve into the details; he simply told him everything he knew.

Shortly after Shen Changchuan left to pursue the enemy...
The immense momentum generated by his actions had already attracted the attention of the city lord's mansion.

The Wilderness City was built by several major forces in the Southern Region that possessed the Divine Travel Realm.

Therefore, the position of city lord was determined through discussions among the aforementioned families and was held in rotation.

The current city lord,

It was the Grand Elder of the Ancient Sword Sect.

This refers to the being at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm that Wu Tianhao had previously mentioned, whom he had seen after his body developed problems.

Seeing that something had happened in the direction of Wu Tianhao's courtyard,

The Grand Elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, who was in charge of the city lord, immediately rushed over.

Then he learned the whole story from Wu Tianhao.

I just learned that
They even managed to sneak into the Desolate City and secretly plotted to harm the disciple of You Longzi, the number one person in the Southern Region!
Without much hesitation,

He immediately ordered the entire city to be on high alert and placed under strict lockdown, determined to catch the enemy red-handed!
this matter,

This was already known to most of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the city.

"Such a thing has happened? Those demonic cultivators are far too arrogant!"

The third elder of the Shen family was somewhat dumbfounded.

To dare infiltrate the enemy's headquarters and carry out an assassination attempt—isn't that traitor from the demonic path fearless of death? "Who knows?"

Just as Fellow Daoist Zheng was about to say something...
suddenly,
Boom! ! !

Outside the desolate city,

Suddenly, a huge noise was heard.

With a tremendous roar, the ground trembled slightly!

"Huh? That is?"

Fellow Daoist Zheng and the Third Elder of the Shen family exchanged a glance; he was slightly taken aback.

Did they escape to the outskirts of the city?
Never mind, whatever.
It's never a bad thing to try and get some credit!
Without much hesitation, Fellow Daoist Zheng turned around and transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the direction from which the commotion was coming from outside the city.

At this time,
The third elder of the Shen family stood still.
The surrounding sky was also lit up with light, flying towards the source of the commotion outside the city.

never mind,

Let's go take a look together.

Everyone else went, but you didn't. You'd be too conspicuous. You should go along and see for yourself to avoid trouble.

For cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, a distance of several miles is merely a short time.

Upon arriving at the destination,

Someone had already arrived ahead of time.

The third elder of the Shen family stared at the scene before him, his pupils shrinking involuntarily.

Not far away,
The original lakes and rivers have all disappeared.

The ground collapsed, creating a huge crater nearly a kilometer in diameter!
And that prodigy from the Shen family whom he didn't want to see...
At this moment, he was carrying a thin, bony figure.

Like carrying a dead dog,
He slowly rose from the pit into the sky and spoke with the fellow cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage who had arrived earlier.

"How could the speed of improvement be so fast?!"

"How can he be so strong!"

The third elder of the Shen family, hiding behind the crowd, gasped in shock, his pupils dilating violently.

Judging from the lingering scents at the scene,

The gaunt figure held in Shen Changchuan's hand was a genuine sixth-level Nascent Soul cultivator!

in contrast,

Shen Changchuan was merely at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage!

And from the start of the city-wide lockdown
And now,

How much time has passed?

A sixth-level Nascent Soul cultivator was defeated by a mere fourth-level Nascent Soul cultivator?!
In just a few short years,
The opponent has actually grown to such a level!
"Trouble"

The third elder of the Shen family sighed inwardly and subtly retreated behind the crowd.
It was completely inconspicuous.

He regretted it a little.

then,

Because the First Madam promised,
She could send her son to study in Zhongzhou, and she would use her connections to look after him there.

Thinking of the flourishing cultivation world in Zhongzhou, and the opportunity to learn more there...

He had aspirations for a brighter future, so he joined the First Madam's camp.

But who could have imagined?

How could things have ended up like this?!

First it was Shen Chong, then it was Shen Changchuan.

It seems that any descendant of the Shen family who becomes a mortal enemy of the First Madam will become an unparalleled prodigy among the younger generation.
The three elders of the Shen family were speechless.

难，
It's so difficult!
The third elder of the Shen family still remembered the battle several years ago when Shen Chong caused a great disturbance in Tiannan City.

He did contribute his efforts back then.

At that time, he could somewhat sense that Shen Chong's power was not his own, but rather an external interference.

But Shen Changchuan before him,
But it's a level of skill and strength that I truly cultivated myself!

In less than ten years,

To have progressed from the minor Qi Refining stage to this point,
This is too scary!

future,

what can we do about it?

For a time,

The Third Elder of the Shen family, who was once regarded as a respected figure by outsiders, couldn't help but feel worried.
