Yang Xun stepped forward and coldly questioned:

"Without Jin Sheng here, do you, a young one, dare to provoke my Hundred Beasts Mountain?"

Jin Feng grinned upon hearing this.

"Uncle taught me that there are only three seniorities among cultivators."

"Those stronger than me are seniors, those about the same are peers, and those weaker are ants."

"Since you think I'm a junior, then let's have a fight to see if you're qualified to be a senior."

Jin Feng looked at Yang Xun provocatively with a wild and arrogant expression.

In the past, with his cultivation at the Peak of Body Cultivation Second Realm, he wouldn't easily provoke a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm.

But just now, he had seen Yang Xun's right hand was injured, so he dared to taunt this way.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xun squinted slightly, and the spiritual power on him surged for a moment.

But moments later, he held back again!

He had been tricked by Shen Chongming once before, and his right hand was severely injured.

This little guy from the Vajra Sect might be at the Peak of Body Cultivation Second Realm, but his vitality was surging like a tide, clearly not an ordinary minor threat.

Once a fight broke out, there were still many disciples from the Vajra Sect on the hill. With his current strength, not to mention whether he could defeat them, if his right hand injury worsened, his arm might not be saved.

"Very well..."

Yang Xun sneered, "Since the Vajra Sect is so determined to oppose my Hundred Beasts Mountain, I, Yang, will remember this."

"Let's go!"

After leaving harsh words, Yang Xun directly led his people away.

Seeing the crisis resolved, Shen Chongming and Chen Youran on the hill immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Shen Family Manor.

Shen Wenxing frowned, pacing alone in the courtyard.

After a moment, Shen Chongxuan, dressed in a scholar's robe and handsome in appearance, hurried over from the backyard with a worried expression and cupped his hands.

"Uncle."

Shen Wenxing stopped and said, "How is your mother's condition?"

Shen Chongxuan slightly shook his head and sighed, "The physician said, her ailment stems from internal distress, not curable by medicine."

"When nephew left, Third Aunt was treating Mother with spiritual power, which might ease it somewhat."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing sighed inwardly.

He knew what Zhao Xuan's heart trouble was, but there was nothing to be done as there had been no news from the Immortal Sects for a long time.

"Uncle, will Father... come back?"

Shen Chongxuan hesitated for a moment and slowly spoke.

It's been seven years; even his father's appearance in his memory had become somewhat blurred.

Seeing the longing in his nephew's eyes, Shen Wenxing clenched his fist secretly, then smiled and comforted, "Among the Immortal Sects, there's one called Tingfeng Valley, which is very good at gathering information."

"I will have someone go to ask Tingfeng Valley to inquire about your father's whereabouts in Danzhou later."

"Take good care of your mother these days, and don't let her worry."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongxuan smiled slightly, then cupped his hands, "Thank you, Uncle."

"I'll go check on Mother."

Watching Shen Chongxuan's departing figure, Shen Wenxing's hesitation gradually turned firm.

When he first heard of Tingfeng Valley, he had already asked Wei Qiuling about how to have Tingfeng Valley help find his brother Shen Wenyan.

The answer Wei Qiuling gave left him conflicted.

Tingfeng Valley charged a lot for searching, especially in a vast place like Danzhou. They weren't even sure where Shen Wenyan might be, so the cost was likely more than the Shen Family could afford.

But now Zhao Xuan had fallen ill from longing, a heart disease even an immortal couldn't easily cure. Only by finding Shen Wenyan quickly could it be resolved.

There was no way with the other Immortal Sects, so they had to rely on Tingfeng Valley now.

At least they had to see what Tingfeng Valley would charge first.

Having made up his mind, he went to the Black Water Pavilion to wake Shen Yuan, who was refining the White Jade Turtle Shell.

After hearing his thoughts, Shen Yuan pondered for a moment, then said, "We can tell Tingfeng Valley that the prodigal son Shen Wenyan was last seen near Cang Mang City and later went into Qishan. It's confirmed he's still alive."

"With these clues, Tingfeng Valley's charge should be much lower."

He didn't mention Shen Wenyan's connection to the Female Essence Wisdom Pearl. Otherwise, involving such high-level matters would likely make Tingfeng Valley name an exorbitant price.

Hearing this, Shen Wenxing was a bit surprised, but after thinking it over, he simply assumed his father had made some progress on the Path of Great Derivation.

These messages were likely deduced by him.

"Alright, I'll personally go to Dang County and ask Tingfeng Valley this time."

...

Danzhou, Qishan.

In the vast mountains, a terrifying giant serpent, a hundred meters in length and covered with scales like profound iron, was crashing forward through the forest, roaring loudly!

The serpent's cold vertical pupils were locked on two fleeing figures, occasionally opening its huge mouth to spew poisonous, foul-smelling liquid at them!

The massive trees and vegetation around, tainted by the venom, were instantly corroded, emitting black smoke and wilting on the spot!

"Be careful, my dear!"

Of the two fleeing figures in the distance, Shen Wenyan saw the poisonous mist approaching and immediately waved his hand, emitting a Literary Qi Profound Light. The word "Resist" appeared in mid-air, forming a white shield to block the poison mist behind them!

However, the serpent's venom was too terrifying.

The white shield could only hold for a few breaths before losing its luster and eventually dissipating into the air.

Seeing this, a surge of Vast Righteous Qi suddenly emanated from Shen Wenyan's body. In the next moment, he soared into the air, unleashing a terrifying aura of Literary Qi!

A giant "Mountain" character appeared above the serpent, and as it rapidly descended, it transformed into a giant mountain hundreds of meters high!
