CHAPTER 320: CHAPTER 251: UNEXPECTED INCIDENT

When Shen Wang removed the outer array, losing its suppression, a mass of black energy suddenly gushed from the space rift.

This was a kind of energy not belonging to this world, carrying a unique polluting force, and Shen Wang felt his mana being affected.

The ancient bronze lamp in his hand began to burn fiercely, as if stimulated by this demonic qi.

Thoughtful, Shen Wang controlled it, then a colorful mana appeared in his hand, grabbing the black energy.

A mass of demonic qi was gathered by him, held in his hand for observation, feeling it heavy and chaotic, far more violent than spiritual qi, and fundamentally different in nature.

"Is this demonic qi? Can it be absorbed?"

Shen Wang asked curiously.

"Absorb it if you’re not afraid of dying," You Huang said coldly.

"Not necessarily die, it would at most pollute the mana."

Shen Wang shook his head. This demonic qi was somewhat like evil qi but fiercer than the evil qi of this world.

"I’ll collect some for research."

Shen Wang thought for a moment, took out a bottle, and collected some demonic qi.

If demons really came over, it might be helpful in the future to thoroughly understand them, to be prepared and know oneself and the enemy.

You Huang, taking a look at the space rift closely, found it unfathomable: "If there are indeed demons, they might not look favorably upon us here."

"Not necessarily. If demons really came over tens of thousands of years ago, why not now?"

Shen Wang disagreed and said, "Let’s go, never mind this place!"

After he sealed the collected demonic qi, he lost interest in lingering any longer, turned, and left.

"You are quite carefree. Your family’s ancestors have guarded this place for generations, and you say just forget it."

You Huang teased, following behind.

"One needs to have the ability first. Without me, this generation would just be a small family without even a Golden Core Cultivator, unable to survive here, why bother?"

Shen Wang pouted and quickly left the underground space.

This time entering, he unearthed what the family called the strange occurrence and acquired four broken spiritual artifacts, yielding a significant harvest.

At least, the preliminary materials necessary for his Lifebound Treasure were nearly prepared, and utilizing the broken spiritual artifacts should save quite a bit of resources.

"I’m going to sleep, don’t disturb me unless necessary."

You Huang transformed into smoke, burrowed into Shen Wang’s embrace, and continued its slumber.

Shen Wang felt a soft sensation in his arms, chuckled, glanced at Grave Mountain below.

"The Shen Family’s responsibility ends here. Let the other people in this world fret over this place next."

Saying this, Shen Wang was about to fly away.

But just as he was about to take off, he noticed activity in the distance and quickly stopped, applying an Invisibility Talisman.

Outside the black fog, a green sword light descended from the sky, followed by four other escape lights.

As the brilliance faded, five people were revealed.

The leader wore a green robe, a jade crown on his head, dressed in a noble manner, his whole body suffused with wind attribute magical power which converged from a whirlwind into a gentle breeze.

His movements were agile and graceful, stepping down from the air in front of the black fog, frowning slightly: "Fellow Daoist Yun, this place seems unusual?"

The white-robed middle-aged man behind him shook his head: "I’m not sure either. After all, this location was revealed to us by Ling Shu, and the broken spiritual artifacts they brought back home were obtained from the underground space here."

"Let’s venture inside first, the three of you stay outside on lookout. If there’s anything unusual, inform us immediately with the Communication Jade."

The green-robed man thought for a moment and instructed three others to stay behind.

"Yes, Master."

The highest cultivation among the three, an Early-Stage Golden Core Cultivator, nodded.

The five of them plunged into the black fog, beginning to act separately.

Shen Wang watched them from afar, surprised: "People from the Celestial Travel Sect and the Yun Family? How did they manage to come out? Weren’t they besieged by the Sixth Prince’s people?"

He was puzzled for a moment, then realized that the Sixth Prince suffered losses in the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range this time, likely losing many subordinates to demon beasts, causing him to temporarily retract his forces, giving the besieged Celestial Travel Sect and Yun Family a breather, allowing them to come out treasure hunting.

Unfortunately, all the valuable broken spiritual artifacts here have been taken by him, nothing of worth left.

"Perfect, let them discover a big Demon Cave here."

Shen Wang mumbled to himself, avoided unnecessary complications, and quietly slipped away from the side.

Whatever happens in the Celestial Travel Sect is none of his business, and the enemies in the Yun Family had already been killed by him, he wasn’t interested in watching what they would do next.

Leaving the black fog, Shen Wang walked a bit further before arriving at Baixi City, bringing out Zheng Yunshu and the others to stroll around the city.

Truth be told, this was his first time bringing his family to a city for leisure. Watching the happy children, Shen Wang clenched his fists.

"I can’t let them live a life of hiding anymore, they should live like normal people."

Shen Wang thought to himself.

The children were growing up, and if they continued to hide, they might not even develop normal personalities.

"Dad, candy figurines."

Shen Chuxue joyfully took a freshly crafted candy figurine from a vendor and handed a warrior-shaped candy figurine to Shen Wang.

"I want to eat your little pig."

Shen Wang beamed.

"No, I want to eat the pig." Shen Chuxue refused, biting off the pig’s head before speaking further.

"Dad is so sad, Xue’Er won’t even let me eat the pig."

Shen Wang teased with a wry smile.

"Husband, don’t be upset, have a rabbit instead."

Lan Kui handed over a rabbit-shaped candy figurine.

She was the only one among the five girls who still carried a childlike innocence, sharing the happiness of the children.

"Dad, that looks delicious, what is it?"

"Dad, I want to eat this one."

The three children were noisy, making the scene quite lively.

And the five women, each alluring and charming, drew many envious eyes.
