Chapter 946 - 299: Second Purple Mansion_5

After a few days, once the black cocoon disappeared, a black vertical mark like an eye appeared on Shen Chongming’s brow.

With Shen Chongming’s every breath, the surface of the thunder mark flickered with erratic electric sparks.

"Father, Third Uncle."

"I will tell you the details when I return."

"The matters in the city are temporarily in your hands."

Shen Chongming slightly bowed to Shen Wenxing and Shen Wen’an in front of him.

Successfully refining the Chaos Thunder Pearl gifted by the Thunderous Creatures into the Purple Mansion Dao Palace’s Dantian, replacing the former Golden Core, Shen Chongming could clearly feel his power has greatly increased.

Now, he urgently wanted to bring the Thunderous Creatures out of the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm.

"The outside world is chaotic right now, you must be extremely careful during your journey."

"If things become unfeasible, don’t force yourself."

Shen Wenxing advised with some unease.

Currently in Yangnao Land, Nascent Soul True Monarchs rampaged about, and Purple Mansion Cultivators were ever-present.

A conflict with them could have unimaginable consequences.

"Father, rest assured, your son is now a Purple Mansion Thunder Cultivator; I’m not as weak as you think."

"I’m leaving."

Waving his hand to the few, his figure flickered, transforming into a streak of lightning flying into the distance.

Outside the Ren Water Concealing Spirit Array, Qi Buyu was staring fixedly at the group of cultivators across the Laishui River, suddenly sensing a streak of lightning flying out from the city behind him and heading into the distance, causing his expression to change instantly!

"Did I not instruct all of you to stay in the city honestly without going out!"

His somewhat angry voice echoed outside the array, clearly reaching the ears of Shen Wen’an and the others.

Several people looked up at the sky, choosing silence, and ignored him.

Qi Buyu, seeing this, grew more agitated.

He hadn’t expected the Shen Family to be so oblivious, as someone dared to risk their life running out of the city at this time.

Yet now the people across the river were steadfast in their stay, leaving him with no option to pursue Shen Chongming who had left.

He could only hope the Shen Clan Member who just left didn’t encounter any trouble.

Otherwise, he would be rebuked by the elder upon returning.

A dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch unable to manage a few Golden Core Cultivators.

Qi Buyu was simmering with anger when spots appeared in the distant sky.

Those figures flashed their aura, then turned direction from afar, descending from the void, disappearing into the dense forest.

Qi Buyu paid no heed, assuming they were some Low Tier Cultivators inadvertently passing by, frightened by the aura of him and a few Nascent Soul Purple Mansion Cultivators across, and fled.

In the mountain forest.

After Shen Chongxu and Dongyun Pao, among others, landed from mid-air, all felt lingering fear.

"Sect Leader, were those individuals truly Nascent Souls!?"

Ming Zhengchu cautiously inquired.

Shen Chongxu remained silent with a somber expression.

When the Dao Collapse began, Third Uncle Shen Wen’an and Shen Xiuyan had frequently sent communication urging him to return to Yangnao Land swiftly.

However, he was in seclusion cultivating the "Primordial Golden Seal," aiming to break through to the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm, missing the messages.

Now having emerged, he led more than ten Demon Cultivators under him towards Yunshui City.

A group of over ten, relying on the keen perception of Celestial Demon He Yi, they maneuvered past many Outer World Cultivators rampaging in the Southern Border, finally making it through the Void Combination Corridor Array, arriving near Yunshui City.

Yet just now, Celestial Demon He Yi in the Sea of Consciousness urgently warned him, informing him four across Laishui River included two Nascent Souls and two Purple Mansions!

Above Yunshui City, there sat a Peak of Nascent Soul Cultivator in the void.

Receiving this news, Shen Chongxu immediately redirected his group to hurriedly land in the mountain forest below.

"Tang Guardian, first find a temporary resting place, set an array, and conceal our aura."

"Others, remain vigilant as we might have to stay here for a while."

After mulling it over, Shen Chongxu decisively issued the orders.

The four Outer World Cultivators across Laishui River could be avoided, but as long as the Peak of Nascent Soul above Yunshui City remains, they can’t return.

The identities of the few Demon Cultivators among them couldn’t evade detection under the eyes of a Peak of Nascent Soul Cultivator.

If discovered, an explanation meant Shen Family collaborated with Demon Cultivators; no explanation meant immediate execution by opponents.

Among the crowd, an emaciated old man in an ink-dyed robe with a goatee immediately bowed and rushed off to find a settlement.

With a flash of light in Shen Chongxu’s hand, he retrieved the Communication Stone, intending to send a message to Shen Li in the city, but after consideration, he put it away.

He worried that if family in the city found out he was outside, they might impulsively act out.

Since there is no immediate danger, it is better to temporarily remain outside.

Waiting until those Nascent Soul True Monarchs depart, then it’s not too late to return.

...

Three Mountains County.

A streak of lightning flew in from afar, landing directly on Seven Sages Mountain.

Shen Chongming’s sudden appearance immediately drew attention from dozens of cultivators before the cliff.

These Outer World Cultivators were mostly Golden Core and Purple Mansion Realm.

Having discovered the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm, they all wished to enter and treasure hunt.

However, restrictions in the Secret Realm meant even Golden Core Purple Mansion and some Nascent Soul True Monarchs struggled to enter easily.

After all, this Secret Realm was crafted by the Yangnao Seven Sons.

Upon Shen Chongming’s arrival, he also noticed these Outer World Cultivators.

He observed how each of these Outer World Cultivators embodied dazzling treasure light, from Magical Robe to Magical Artifact, and Magical Treasure, dazzling throughout.
