Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 39 The old grudge between the Huan and Shen families
Before, for some reason, Ying Lili was hit by a huge rock flying from the sky in the alchemy pot. Fortunately, the beast spirit that the Purple Cloud Beast had secretly deployed to attack Wu Su rushed forward in time and slightly supported the huge rock on her head, thus avoiding the tragedy of her being smashed into meat paste. However, Ying Lili's head was still hit hard at that moment, so she lost consciousness, allowing Wu Su to take the initiative and snatch her away.
No one knew what that huge rock that fell from the sky was, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds! Although it was temporarily held back by the spirit beasts, it still fell to the ground after Gong Lili was rescued by Wu Su, crushing all the spirit beasts. Those beast spirits were originally one with the Purple Cloud Beast, like a part of its body and skin. Now that they were seriously injured, the Purple Cloud Beast itself was naturally affected and seemed a little weak. However, Wu Su took advantage of the opportunity and cast some magic, and it also came under Wu Su's command.
This was part of the reason for what happened in the pot before. After Shen Fei explained the issues that Yan Zheng was most concerned about in one breath, he did not mention a word about his own affairs with Huan Zhu.
And how did Huanzhu get sucked into the pot? And why did he and Shen Fei get beaten up by Wu Su like this?
Although Yan Zheng was curious, the two parties involved looked unhappy at the moment, and both seemed to be keeping silent. Yan Zheng didn't want to take the initiative to find bad luck with them. He was just curious. Why did the Huan family show up at the Shen family so brazenly today? Had they forgotten their ancestral teachings?
Huan Shu, the eldest son of the Huan family, and Shen Chenyu, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, were childhood sweethearts. Living side by side in Wucheng, the two families enjoyed a close friendship. However, their fate was ruined by these two. Although they didn't emerge victorious in the Yonghui Martial Arts Competition, they benefited greatly from their acquaintance with Yao Ji, and their cultivation advanced significantly.
Neither of them might have imagined that the shy little girl would later become the chief wizard of the Shamo clan. During the two years from the Yonghui martial arts competition to Yao Ji becoming the chief wizard of the Shamo clan, Huanshu and Shen Chenyu continued to travel around. Later, when they traveled to the South China Sea, they met a master from the Penglai fairyland. The master gave Shen Chenyu a prescription that could restore her original appearance, and the most difficult ingredient in the prescription was the blood of the Nine Yin Xuanhuang.
With the advice of the master, they learned that in the entire Xu Ming world, there was only one person who possessed such a rare blood type, and that was Yao Ji of the Sha Mo tribe.
When the two heard about this, they rushed to Shamo without stopping and found Yao Ji, who had become the chief wizard of the Shamo tribe at that time. After learning about this, Yao Ji generously allowed Shen Chenyu to take her Nine Yin Xuanhuang blood to go back and make pills. However, for some reason, when Huan Shu and Shen Chenyu returned from Shamo City, they broke up.
It even came to the point where the two of them were irreconcilable and swore never to have anything to do with each other again!
No one knows what happened in Shamo City back then, and what caused these two childhood sweethearts to end up in such a situation. Both parties remained silent until their death, and that became a major unsolved mystery in the Xuming Realm.
But Wucheng is so small, and both families are aristocratic families in Wucheng, so they always see each other every day. Later, when the master of the Shen family passed away and Shen Chenyu inherited the family business, he simply moved the entire Shen family to Tangting near Shamo City.
Some said that the eldest daughter of the Shen family had changed her mind and, after she had transformed back into her original charming female form, she disliked the eldest son of the Huan family for his unattractive appearance and abandoned him. Others said that the eldest son of the Huan family had always had a particular taste for men and had a special liking for the androgynous daughter of the Shen family, but lost interest after seeing her transformed back into a woman. Some even said that it was because the great wizard Yao Ji of Shamo City had given them a treasure, and the two eventually became enemies over that treasure...
Although there are many different opinions, the parties involved have long since turned to dust, and those old stories can no longer be verified. But what is interesting is that the descendants of the Huan and Shen families originally received the ancestral teachings of the two heads of the family at that time, and really did not have any contact with each other until they died. For five hundred years, one was in Wucheng and the other in Tangting, and they did not have any contact with each other, which was considered peaceful.
However, in this generation, Shen Fei, the head of the Shen family, and Shen Zhu, the de facto head of the Huan family, were both unruly and uninhibited, never taking their ancestral teachings to heart. Somehow, they had gotten to know each other and actually developed a mutual sympathy. Rumors had long been circulating that these two might reconcile the Huan and Shen families, but unexpectedly, today, Huan Zhu, the eldest son of the Huan family, would suddenly bring people to the Shen family to cause trouble. Why?
Since entering Mingyue Canyon, no one from the Shen family has been seen. Yan Xiaoxiao also mentioned that when she left the Shen family before, everyone in the Shen family was still the same as usual. Although the Shen family is not large, it is such a large family, with at least hundreds of servants, guards and maids. It is a bit strange that they disappeared out of thin air.
Coupled with the sudden appearance of Great Elder Wusu, Yan Zheng vaguely felt that all this did not seem accidental, even their appearance here did not seem accidental. It seemed as if there was a hand pushing everything. He thought that there must be some kind of intricate connection behind these many strange things, but he had no clue for a while.
Meanwhile, Shen Fei and Huan Zhu were each occupying a corner, trying hard to regulate their breathing and inhale energy. It seemed that both of them had suffered some internal injuries before, but they didn't know who had done it.
Before Yan Zheng could ask, he heard hurried footsteps. Huan Zhi, the second daughter of the Huan family who had been injured by Mo Yi, stumbled in. Seeing the miserable state of her eldest brother and Shen Fei, she was surprised. "Brother, what's going on?"
This actually raised a question that Yan Zheng was equally curious about. Shen Fei closed his eyes tightly, pretending not to hear. Huan Zhu spat and did not answer her sister's question. Instead, she said to Yan Zheng in a deep voice, "Damn it, Yan Zheng, answer me honestly, is that girl the reincarnation of that person?"
Yan Zheng knew who he was asking about, and he remained silent, neither admitting nor denying. Huan Zhu, however, assumed he had admitted it, then spat, "Damn! No wonder it's so powerful! I've never felt such strong spiritual pressure in my life!"
This sparked Yan Zheng's curiosity. What had Lord Pinglili done to make Huanzhu so emotional? Meanwhile, Shen Fei's brows furrowed, his expression also filled with lingering fear. He wondered what had happened between them.
At this moment, he heard Tu Bie's loud voice coming from far behind him: "Brother Zheng, it's bad! Brother Yi, Brother Yi has fainted!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Zheng rushed out without a word. As soon as he walked out of the Tianzi Alchemy Room, he saw Qiongqi slowly descending from the sky with Mo Yi on his back. Zeze and Tubie one on each side, carefully supported him as he walked over. As soon as she saw Yan Zheng, Zeze immediately pouted, looking like she was about to cry: "Brother Zheng, Sister Lili was taken away by that damn old man! Brother Yi originally chased after him to stop him, but the damn old man did something to hide his figure and disappeared. Brother Yi fainted from anger!"
Hearing this, Yan Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Lord Gonglili seemed to have been taken away by Great Elder Wusu, but he didn't know when Qiongqi and the others followed Mo Yi. So, he was the only one who hesitated. He felt mixed emotions in his heart, and a trace of regret gradually rose in his heart. If it weren't for his hesitation just now, perhaps...
Although he had long anticipated this day would come, and when Gong Lili had confessed everything to him, he knew that he had to make a choice between his master and Master Gong Lili, the self-awareness that he had established in his heart since childhood as a Sha Mo wizard, and the belief in his heart that he would never betray Sha Mo, still made him hesitate and waver involuntarily when he was faced with the decision. In other words, he retreated, and that was why he allowed Mo Yi to chase him out, while he found a lame excuse to stay here...
Had he done anything wrong? Why did this result make him feel even more depressed? He thought of that woman, twice, who had unhesitatingly sacrificed her life to buy his safety. Guilt lashed at him like a long whip. Wasn't everything she had done for him worth giving up his faith in those so-called Shamo wizards?
He silently blamed himself in his heart. He finally understood what choice he should make. However, now that the bad consequences had occurred, it was too late to regret...
She has been taken away by the Great Elder Wusu and brought back to Shamo...
Yan Zheng quickly stopped his thoughts and didn't dare to think about it any further...
He quickly stepped forward to support Mo Yi. Mo Yi's complexion was not good at the moment. His face was ashen and bloodless. Although Yan Zheng didn't know what Mo Yi had done alone in the hall before, he knew that before coming to the Shen family, Mo Yi was already at the end of his strength. The fact that he could hold on until this time was probably the limit. Moreover, he seemed to have just competed with the top master of Sha Mo, the Great Elder Wu Su. If it were an ordinary person, he would have collapsed long ago. Mo Yi's ability to hold on until this time was beyond ordinary people. Thinking of this, Yan Zheng felt even more regretful and apologetic.
He quickly reached out to feel Mo Yi's pulse. Fortunately, it was just due to anger and excessive consumption of spiritual energy, so he was exhausted.
If it was somewhere else, Yan Zheng might have been a little worried, but now that he was at the door of the Shen family's alchemy room, there was no need to worry . Yan Zheng helped Mo Yi into the Tianzi No. 1 alchemy room and for the first time, he shouted to Shen Fei without any hesitation: "Shen Fei, take out all your elixirs!"
