Hearing the report, behind the thousands of swordsmen, on the crown of a tall ancient tree, a majestic figure standing with his hands behind his back immediately said with a cold face and cursed, “Are you stupid？ This is the edge of the Yin Forest. You are running around like this. Are you courting death！！！”
Hearing this, the person who reported trembled in expression.
Does the Sect Master still know that this is the Yin Forest？ Then isn’t it even more courting death to let everyone search for people so blatantly？
”What news, say！” Wen Sanjiu, who was tall and imposing, immediately snorted coldly.
The reporting person immediately said, “Mr. Yu Ye has sent a message, saying that Ye Wushuang has entered the Yin Forest and is heading towards the direction of Ox Horn Abyss！”
”Good, good, good！”
Upon hearing this, a fierce and cold sword qi immediately flashed across Wen Sanjiu’s eyes.
“Wen Fenghua, Xu Qianhang, Gu Wenxi… How dare this kill my three beloved disciples. If I don’t chop him off I won’t be called the Purple Sky Sword Saint Wen Sanjiu!
Immediately, Wen Sanjiu let out a loud shout.
”Han Yifeng！”
”Xu Wanhui！”
”Dong Feiyu！”
”Yuan Jingjing！”
”Yu Junsheng！”
”Si Miaomiao！”
When Wen Sanjiu’s shout fell, the sound of breaking through the air sounded, and immediately six figures flew over.
So far in his life, Wen Sanjiu has only taken a fancy to nine disciples. During this trip to the Tianyuan Mountains, three of them were lost. How could he not be angry.
Looking at the six direct disciples, Wen Sanjiu immediately said, “Immediately go and inform all the elders. There is no need to look for Ye Wushuang’s traces elsewhere. All come to the Yin Forest. There is already news of Ye Wushuang!
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the six disciples all froze.
Master, where is he? Han Yifeng, the eldest disciple and the senior sister, was tall and slender, with a cold and sharp temperament and a proud appearance. At this moment, there was killing intent in her eyes as she said sully, “Disciple will kill him with my own hands!”
Han Yifeng was the disciple that Wen Sanjiu had taken a fancy to the earliest. At first, Han Yifeng made rapid progress in the way of the sword. From the sword intent to the sword momentum, the control of the artistic conception was very smooth. But now, she was stuck at the peak of the sword momentum and could not make any further progress. However, among the nine disciples, although Han Yifeng’s swordsmanship was not the strongest, her strength was definitely the strongest.
Hearing Han Yifeng’s words, Wen Sanjiu said in a deep voice, “This time, we can’t be careless. This son is like a fish in water in this Tianyuan Mountains. Next, I want you to not only look for the trace of Ye Wushuang. but also find the traces of all the people related to him. If he doesn’t show up, we will catch the people he cares about and force him to show up!
All right, go ahead. Notify all the elders to come to the Yin Forest and don’t waste time in other places anymore！
Yes！
Several disciples nodded one after another and then dispersed respectively.
……
From time to time in the endless forest, there would also be the violent roars of some strange beasts, making people feel a sharp pain in their eardrums.
In a dense mountain forest, at the position of a low mountain depression, there were figures gathering.
The leading person, looking to be in his fifties, with restrained bearing, yet having an air of arrogance as a superior. His face was calm, and his long hair was tied up. There was a strand of white hair and a strand of black hair, alternating with each other, which rather added a bit of imposing manner.
“Father！”
Just then, a figure rushed over. He looked to be in his forties, with hurried steps.
The man turned around and said, “Is there any news of Xiaoqi？”
The middle-aged man who came over heard this and said, “Got in touch. Xiaoqi is with Laoliu and is very safe. They are almost at the Yin Forest. Father doesn’t have to worry anymore…”
Hearing this, the man with black and white hair nodded.
The man’s name was Shen Yuanqing, who was precisely the current head of the Shen family.
Behind Shen Yuanqing, a man who also looked to be in his fifties and had a slightly more gentle temperament said, “Second brother, it’s okay. Mingya is at least a Seventh Rank Ancient Saint. It’s not that dangerous…”
Hearing the words of his third brother Shen Yuancong, Shen Yuanqing smiled bitterly and said, “Among my several children, she is the one who worries me the most. Among the little guys in the grandson generation, it’s not my turn to worry. But these few children of mine… even if they can handle things independently, I still can’t let go！”
Shen Yuancong heard this and smiled, shaking his head.
Since his second brother took on the position of the head of the Shen family, he has indeed worried day and night.
However, over the years, there have indeed been too many voices of doubt from the outside world.
As the two brothers were talking, not long after, several figures came from a distance, and finally two people stepped forward.
It was precisely Shen Yuanqing’s sixth son, Shen Liangchen, and seventh daughter, Shen Mingya.
”Father, Third Uncle…”
Shen Mingya stepped forward, and when she saw Shen Yuanqing and Shen Yuancong, she hurriedly saluted.
”Mingya, your father is really worried to death. You girl…” Shen Yuancong smiled.
Shen Mingya nodded slightly, then looked at her father and immediately said, “Father, I met Ye Wushuang！”
Ye Wushuang！
Upon hearing these three words, both Shen Yuanqing and Shen Yuancong frowned.
”Did he do anything to you…”
”No！” Shen Mingya shook her head and said, “When I saw him, I was injured. He didn’t make things difficult for me, but… it could be seen that he hated me very much and had the intention to kill me…”
Hearing this, Shen Yuanqing and Shen Yuancong looked at each other and didn’t say much.
”Father！”
Seeing that her father didn’t speak, Shen Mingya said again, “He is inheriting Xiao Yunsheng’s will. For Xiao Yunsheng, in the Four Directions Realm, the person he cares about the most is nothing but Xiao Yeyu. Xiao Yeyu is dead. and Shen Yuanzhou was killed. Everyone says that our Shen Clan persecuted Shen Yuanzhou. Father, you must clarify this matter…”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanqing patted his daughter’s shoulder and smiled, “Little girl, you’ve started to worry about your father. Good, good, good…”
”Father！”
”Alright, this matter here not only involves the husband and wife Xiao Yeyu and Shen Yuanzhou. Even if I were to speak, who would believe me？ Back then… your eldest uncle indeed died at the hands of our Shen Clan people. Your eldest aunt was killed, and it wasn’t done by us, but your eldest uncle insisted it was us. What would the outside world think？”
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingya immediately said, “But, eldest uncle and Lu Qingqian indeed had an affair. This is something eldest uncle can’t deny. It was them…”
”Mingya！”
Beside them, Shen Yuancong spoke up, raising his voice a little and scolding, “Regarding this matter, your father and I naturally have a way. Don’t think too much. Since you met Ye Wushuang and he didn’t take action against you, that means he’s not unreasonable…”
”Third Uncle！”
Shen Mingya immediately said, “Ye Wushuang said that he will avenge Xiao Yeyu and Shen Yuanzhou. He will exterminate our Shen Clan, leaving no one, not even women, children, or the elderly！”
As soon as these words were spoken, both Shen Yuanqing and Shen Yuancong, the two brothers, were stunned.
“I can sense the determination in his words. However… it seems there is something he doesn’t understand. But if he really reaches a conclusion, then… what will happen to our Shen Clan？ Even if our Shen Clan isn’t afraid of him, why should we bear the stigma？”
Upon hearing Shen Mingya’s words, Shen Liangchen and several other siblings standing by had their expressions changing.
Shen Yuanqing has a total of seven children.
The eldest to the fifth are born to Shen Yuanqing and his first wife, Lu Qingqian. Later, the affair between Lu Qingqian and Shen Yuanzhou was exposed, and Shen Yuanzhou was thus driven out of the Shen Clan.
Later, Shen Yuanqing married Lu Qingqian’s younger sister, Lu Qingyou, and gave birth to the sixth child, Shen Liangchen, and the seventh child, Shen Mingya.
After that, Xiao Yeyu died, and Shen Yuanzhou went crazy because of this, firmly believing that this matter was done by the people of the Shen Clan. He retaliated against the Shen Clan regardless of everything and was finally killed by the Shen Clan when he personally came to the Shen Clan.
This is what everyone knows on the surface within the Four Directions Realm.
But all along, whether there was really an affair between Lu Qingqian and Shen Yuanzhou, and who actually killed Xiao Yeyu, these are all mysteries！
Many outsiders don’t know and just spread rumors.
Shen Yuanqing doesn’t want to explain, but what can he explain？
Explain that his eldest brother and his wife cuckolded him？
Explain that Xiao Yeyu wasn’t killed by him？
Explain that Shen Yuanzhou’s death was something he couldn’t help？
Outsiders wouldn’t think that way. Many things, as they are passed around, false ones can become true！
Especially since so many years have passed. Many things, Shen Yuanqing has chosen to let go.
“If he really wants to take revenge on my Shen Clan, then I, Shen Yuanqing, will take it on！” Shen Yuanqing said slowly. “It’s just that I don’t know how much of Xiao Yunsheng’s ability he has obtained with Xiao Yunsheng’s inheritance！”
