Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi smoothly brought Zhou Zijun to Shen Wenbo, taking less than half an hour.

Li Guanqi imparted everything he had to Zhou Zijun without reservation.

Zhou Zijun also lived up to expectations, promising to cultivate diligently.

Shen Wenbo nodded with a smile, and Li Guanqi even took out a second-grade immortal vein before leaving.

Li Guanqi turned back, looked at Zhou Zijun, and waved gently.

"Cultivate well, I'll come back to pick you up."

Zhou Zijun waved vigorously, nodding with tears in his eyes.

Meng Wanshu said with a smile.

"Are you really at ease leaving them, father and son, here?"

Li Guanqi said softly.

"The Sect Master has already given his greetings, and besides, I don't think it will be too long before I come back to pick him up."

Meng Wanshu glanced back at the tearful, pouting young man and smiled.

The two soared into the sky, beginning their search for the Eternal Silence Land.

Shen Wenbo had never heard of any powerful family named Tu.

He had also never heard of the existence of the Eternal Silence Land in his many years in Glazed Tile Earth.

After Li Guanqi left, Shen Wenbo settled Zhou Chuan and Zhou Zijun, allowing them to rest for the time being.

As night fell, a dignified-looking old man in luxurious robes arrived at Shen Wenbo's study.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Come in."

The old man's name was Jia Zhengfeng, the Second Elder of the branch sect, with a True Immortal Realm seventh-level peak cultivation.

He could be considered Shen Wenbo's confidant elder.

Watching Shen Wenbo writing at his desk, the old man didn't interrupt.

He simply stood quietly aside, waiting for Shen Wenbo to finish.

After a long while, the man rubbed his brow and put down the jade pen.

Arranging the letters and jade slips, Shen Wenbo looked at Jia Zhengfeng and said softly.

"Old Jia, Zhou Zijun and Zhou Chuan must be properly settled."

"Senior Brother Qin Gang's regard for Li Guanqi is no less than that for a personal disciple."

"Moreover, he is someone my master values highly, so his disciple must, must be well taken care of."

Jia Zhengfeng bowed and nodded in agreement.

"Sect Master, rest assured, I plan to assign Zhou Chuan to the Spirit Ascension Platform as a custodian."

"The sect will also allocate resources to help him recover from his injuries."

"Zhou Zijun... I might as well directly teach him, possessing a lightning-type Heavenly Spirit Root, joining my Thunder Peak would be just right."

Shen Wenbo nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Yes, that would be excellent."

Rubbing his brow, the man leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat tired.

"As you know, I am about to prepare to break through to the Golden Immortal third level, but what follows is the Golden Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation."

"So this seclusion may be quite long, you will still have to put in a lot of effort to manage the sect's affairs."

Jia Zhengfeng nodded slightly and bowed in response.

"Sect Master, rest assured, I will properly manage the internal affairs of the sect."

Shen Wenbo leaned back in his chair without opening his eyes, and continued to speak.

"I know that Lu Jinghao is a disciple you value greatly."

"But... I warn you, don't get too close to the Lu family."

"Go."

Jia Zhengfeng's face was pale, and his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

The old man's right hand trembled as he gripped his trouser leg and stepped over the threshold.

Jia Zhengfeng didn't recover from the panic even after closing the door, and even forgot to speak to Shen Wenbo.

Shen Wenbo looked up at the ceiling and sighed.

Once a person's hope of advancement is lost, desires other than cultivation and longevity will arise.

Jia Zhengfeng was also a person, considering it was his first offense, Shen Wenbo figured that a reprimand would keep him in line.

But he was still a little uneasy, and raised his hand to summon another person to keep an eye on Jia Zhengfeng.

After settling everything, Shen Wenbo flashed to the place he specifically used for seclusion, closed the door, opened the barrier seal, and entered a long period of seclusion.

That night, Jia Zhengfeng returned to his residence in a daze and sat there all night.

He didn't even touch the jade slip that was shining on the table.

On the other side.

Changxi Ridge, Bo Continent.

Xiao Chen, 'reborn from the ashes', shattered the barrier he had painstakingly prepared with a single punch.

"Next time, I won't make it so sturdy, I almost refined myself..."

Whether it was an illusion or not, Xiao Chen seemed to have grown a bit taller, and his whole body had become more imposing.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, a standard muscular inverted triangle.

Xiao Chen curled his lips, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, quite satisfied with his current physique.

After admiring himself narcissistically, Xiao Chen put on a white flowing cloud robe.

His eyes revealed a fierce glint as he gazed into the void, murmuring.

"Crane Wonder Sect, are you ready to face my revenge?"

Before the words had faded, Xiao Chen's figure instantly appeared two thousand zhang away!!

Half-step Golden Immortal Realm, whether it was his speed or strength, had reached a new level.

At this time, if Xiao Chen used the 'Spirit Burning' power of the Gun Tomb, he could face a peak Golden Immortal Realm first-level cultivator head-on without any problem.

However, Xiao Chen didn't know that Song Xuan and Ke Yongsheng had already become friends from enemies.

And the bloodstains he left on the scorched earth of the battlefield had also been refined by the other party into a drop of essence blood.

Within the Crane Wonder Sect, the atmosphere in the huge sect hall had become somewhat strange.

The Sect Master and the Great Elder, who had originally been at each other's throats, were now shaking hands and making peace, clearly standing on the same side.

This made Chen Jianhui even more uncomfortable.

And the five broken and extinguished soul lamps were casually discarded on the ground.

The elders and custodians below didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Among them were many Heavenly Immortal Realm deacons from each peak standing behind the seats.

Song Xuan said softly.

"The sect's Black Armor Guards are a force hidden in the shadows, now that the commander has been killed, only three of the six remaining Black Armor Guards are left."

"The Great Elder's three disciples, Huo Yan and Ding Lin, have all been killed."

"This is provoking the might of my Crane Wonder Sect!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts tightened.

"Pass down the order!"

"From this day on, the Crane Wonder Sect will use all its power to find this person!"

Whirr whirr whirr!!

Hundreds of blood-colored tokens floated in mid-air.

"I have already imprinted this person's aura into the blood tokens, as long as this person approaches within a hundred miles, it can be detected."

"Whoever can find the other party's whereabouts and report to the sect... will be heavily rewarded!"

The blood tokens flew and floated in front of everyone, and all the elders, custodians, and deacons nodded in unison.

"We respectfully obey the Sect Master's order!"

"We respectfully obey the Sect Master's order!!"

Song Xuan nodded slightly and said softly.

"The Lower Three Sects will also participate in this matter!"

"Alright, all of you may leave, hurry up and make the arrangements."

Everyone retreated one after another, and for a time, undercurrents surged throughout Changxi Ridge.

The Changxi Ridge overlord, Crane Wonder Sect, launched a comprehensive search for Xiao Chen.
