Shen Xuan smiled.
"Colluding with demon cultivators, plotting against sect disciples. The audacious Zheng Family should be dealt with by your sect, Shen doesn’t dare say much."
Kang Wuji’s face was gloomy, looking at the ss on the battlefield.
The atmosphere was heavy.
He knew very well in his heart.
All of this was a trap set by Shen Xuan.
The arrogant and overconfident Zheng Patriarch underestimated Shen Xuan’s power and stepped right into the trap.
Ruan Siting borrowing the Profound Sun Mirror to watch the scene was also part of Shen Xuan’s plan.
Originally thought, Shen Xuan was just a lucky older Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
Only his Talisman Art was noteworthy.
Unexpectedly, his combat power was terrifying!
No wonder he is a disciple of a master from a major sect.
Kang Wuji forcibly concealed his inner shock.
In just ten breaths, the Zheng Patriarch at the Foundation Establishnt Third Layer and his demon cultivator brother were instantly killed.
Such protective ans are not sothing ordinary Foundation Establishnt can withstand.
Shen Xuan has been in Foundation Establishnt for only five years.
His combat power effortlessly crushed the Zheng Patriarch.
Exceeds ordinary Middle Stage Foundation Establishnt.
Comparable to a Late Stage Foundation Establishnt major cultivation.
Kang Wuji sighed deeply in his heart.
Offending such a powerful figure.
Mingyang Island’s Zheng Family is finished!
"I shall report this matter to Elder Ruan and have the sect master of your sect decide!"
"Fellow Daoist Shen, do as you please!"
Shen Xuan smiled slightly.
Seeing the skinny demon cultivator’s body almost completely devoured by the Shadow-devouring Demon Insect.
He patted the insect bag, recalled all the Shadow-devouring Demon Insects.
The Golden Eagle Corpse Beast and Soaring Snake Corpse Beast were also recalled.
Then he clasped his fists in salute towards Ruan Siting.
"Fellow Daoist Ruan, until we et again!"
Ruan Siting shook his head and returned the salute.
"Brother Shen, take it easy!"
This ti, he had deeply offended Kang Wuji and the force behind him.
Shen Xuan held the rightful position.
The Zheng Family is certain to be destroyed without a doubt.
However.
The upper echelons of Bishui Sect are not fools.
Such actions by Shen Xuan are unlikely to be appreciated by the high echelons of Bishui Sect.
Shen Xuan was unconcerned about this.
From any angle, he was rely defending himself.
The Zheng Family brought this upon themselves.
Cyan Cloud Sect is one of the seven major sects in Song Country, cannot be compared with Bishui Sect.
Without proper reason, the high echelons of Bishui Sect can’t do anything to Shen Xuan.
...
The matter of Mingyang Island’s Zheng Family cos to an end.
Though the Zheng Patriarch remains.
With only him as a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, his efforts are in vain.
Moreover, he still faces punishnt from Bishui Sect.
If he’s sensible, he’ll obediently hand over Mingyang Island, take his tribe, leave ho behind, and seek a new life.
If his actions are a bit slow, the entire Zheng Family’s two thousand cultivators will die without a burial ground.
The Huang Family from Silver Hook Island, along with old enemies and opportunistic loose cultivators, will all target this piece of fat at of the Zheng Family.
These matters are unrelated to Shen Xuan.
Returning to Rain Listening Pavilion.
Within the Practice Room,
Shen Xuan examined the battle spoils, feeling pleased.
No wonder he is the patriarch of an old cultivation clan.
Just the spirit stones alone amounted to over twenty thousand pieces.
There were also two Water Attribute Minor Grade Magical Treasures, Water-Splitting Saber and Water Shield.
With a slight refinent, Shen Xuan could use them.
The quality wasn’t comparable to the Bishui Sword and White Deceit Shield he had been nurturing.
But no one would disdain having more magical treasures!
A pile of Tier Two elixirs, talismans, materials, and other supplies.
Comparatively, the skinny demon cultivator was much worse off.
Only a Blood Transformation Demon Saber was worth looking at.
The rest were random demon stones, demon talismans, demon pills, which wouldn’t sell for many spirit stones.
Shen Xuan simply fed them to the Shadow-devouring Demon Insect.
Under sufficient supply of demon beast at and ghost spirits, the Shadow-devouring Demon Insect grew quickly.
Among hundreds of Shadow-devouring Demon Insects, most were Minor Grade demon insects.
Yet there were over ten larger ones, advanced to Middle Grade demon insects.
At this pace, once they grow into Top Grade demon insects, they will be especially effective against demon cultivators.
After returning to Rain Listening Pavilion, Shen Xuan rarely left.
Cultivating, talisman making.
Occasionally visiting the Talisman Hall, guiding Su Clan mbers in Talisman Art.
Every ten days, using the Mysterious Jade Talisman to refine Jade Spirit Clam Essence Blood.
The Huang Family did not break their promise.
Every two months, delivering two portions of Jade Spirit Clam Essence Blood.
Six months later.
Inside the Practice Room.
After the Mysterious Jade Talisman flashed, ancient small golden characters slowly changed.
[Talent: Water Spirit Absorption Proficient (18/200)]
[Dao Rhy: 2188]
[Spirit Root: Water 63/100)]
Water Spirit Root Talent increased by two points.
The higher it goes, the harder it becos.
Shen Xuan tested the [Water Spirit Absorption Technique].
As he expected, it could accelerate the absorption speed of Spiritual Qi.
"Not bad!"
Even at the proficient stage, within the sa ti, it could absorb approximately ten percent more Spiritual Qi.
Moreover, this kind of talent skill progresses quickly.
Equivalent to passive skills, no extra Dao Rhy points are consud.
"I’m already ninety-one years old!"
Unknowingly, Shen Xuan has been in Foundation Establishnt for six years.
His cultivation realm remains at Foundation Establishnt First Layer.
"In two or three more years, I should break through to Foundation Establishnt Second Layer!"
Within the Foundation Establishnt Realm, a small tier advancent doesn’t cause much change.
Just ans an increase in spiritual power and divine sense.
Cultivators above Foundation Establishnt Stage, generally identified by Early, Middle, and Late stages.
Differences within small tiers aren’t so important for cultivators.
In battles, having a magical treasure is more crucial.
Crossing a small tier significantly enhances spiritual power and divine sense!
Usually about double.
This is when the gap between both sides noticeably widens.
Shen Xuan is rely at Foundation Establishnt First Layer.
Due to various talent blessings, his flesh body, spiritual power, and divine sense rival ordinary Late Stage Foundation Establishnt.
Shen Xuan, alone, dared to sche against the Zheng Patriarch.
Not only because of Ruan Siting secretly assisting, but more due to confidence in his own strength.
He firmly believed, that even if Zheng Patriarch and Zheng Patriarch tead up, they weren’t his match.
Even if they could enlist so external aid.
On the East Sea surface, even if facing major cultivation of Late Stage Foundation Establishnt, Shen Xuan wouldn’t fear.
Self-preservation is absolutely not a problem.
"Still twenty-four years to go!"
"By then, I should break through to Middle Stage Foundation Establishnt, complete supporting the Su Family, and return to the sect gloriously!"
Shen Xuan pondered in his heart.
He returned to Rain Listening Pavilion for two months.
The Zheng Family was wiped out.
Before Bishui Sect could hold them accountable.
The Zheng Patriarch dispersed his tribe, fully retreating from Mingyang Island.
Clearly, soone within Bishui Sect tipped off the Zheng Patriarch.
However, the Huang Family’s actions weren’t slow either.
Huang Patriarch and Huang Family head blocked the Zheng Patriarch, fighting fiercely.
Here, Thunder Talismans and Poison Talismans Shen Xuan sold played a significant role.
In the end, Zheng Patriarch, unable to fend for himself, fell with hatred.
Tribes scattered fleeing.
Arrogant Zheng Family had long caused widespread resentnt.
Naturally, everyone pushed against the wall now.
The once illustrious Mingyang Island’s Zheng Family, thus perished.
The greatest beneficiary was Silver Hook Island’s Huang Family.
Not only did they loot the Zheng Family’s cultivation resources accumulated over the years.
They transford, becoming a new overlord among the East Sea Islands.
"Didn’t expect the Huang Family to rise so forcefully like this."
"Hope Huang Family’s patriarch is a smart person!"
These island families are all vassals of Bishui Sect.
A family’s rise and fall lies within a thought of Bishui Sect’s upper echelons.
The cultivation realm is not just about fighting and killing.
Interests are what everyone values most.
The Zheng Family was too inflated, wanting to eat alone.
This elicited dissatisfaction from Shen Xuan, Huang Family, and many loose cultivators.
Sharing benefits, always the best way to balance relationships.
In Huang Family’s view, Shen Xuan is a sect master cultivator, with unique Talisman Art.
A very good partner.
For this reason, Jade Spirit Clam Essence Blood is promptly delivered to Cyan Yang Prefecture.
Solemnly promised to collect Tier Two Water Attribute Demon Beast Essence Blood for Shen Xuan.
Upon this, Shen Xuan smiled faintly.
Zheng Family was just one channel for obtaining Tier Two Water Attribute Demon Beast Essence Blood.
Besides, there’s Tang Renhao’s and Zhu Jintang’s Loose Cultivator Alliance, Bishui Sect’s Ruan Siting, Beast Taming Zhou Family’s Immortal Bai Lian, three other channels.
As long as the price is sufficient, he can continuously collect high-tier demon beast essence blood.
The path ahead is bright!
