Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 483: Chapter 240: Floating Light Spirit Armor

Mu Xiaowan smiled back. "And Senior Sister Qingshuang, of course."

"I don’t really care about such empty fame," Shen Qingshuang said nonchalantly, but the faint smile in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

"By the way, has Junior Brother Chen emerged from his seclusion yet?" Shen Qingshuang asked.

Mu Xiaowan nodded. "He has. Brother Cheng has been in seclusion this whole time.

Even when I bring him meals, I don’t always get to see him."

"What Cultivation Technique is Junior Brother Chen cultivating, anyway?" Shen Qingshuang asked again.

Mu Xiaowan shook her head. "Brother Cheng hasn’t told me, so I don’t know.

Oh, right. Senior Sister Qingshuang, is there an urgent reason you both came over?"

Shen Qingshuang said, "A good deal of news has come from the Great Wilderness Mountain Range. We came to inform Junior Brother Chen.

For Linji City, this news constitutes a series of major events, but they won’t affect Junior Brother Chen much.

Since he’s in seclusion, we can just tell him later."

Mu Xiaowan glanced at the time and realized she needed to start cooking. "If you two Senior Sisters are free, why don’t you join me in taking Brother Cheng his meal? We can see if we can catch a glimpse of him."

"Alright," Shen Qingshuang said after a moment of thought.

Shen Qingyao chimed in with a grin, "It’s been a while since we all ate together. I’ve really been missing Xiaowan’s cooking."

"In that case, I’ll make extra, including the dishes you two Senior Sisters love," Mu Xiaowan said with a smile.

The three young women chatted and laughed as they headed for the courtyard.

Although Mu Xiaowan didn’t normally concern herself with worldly affairs, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang still recounted the news from the Great Wilderness Mountain Range for her.

Some time ago, a tremor had occurred in the earth’s veins deep within the Great Wilderness Mountain Range.

The Demon Suppression Department’s Director, Xia Lingfeng, Vice Director Xue Huai’an, and the Patriarch of the Shen Family, Shen Mingyuan, had pursued the Black Lotus Sect Leader, Ghostly Wound, and succeeded in wounding him.

Ghostly Wound fled deep into the Great Wilderness Mountain Range.

Xia Lingfeng and the other two went to investigate the site of the tremor and discovered what appeared to be an ancient cave mansion in the area.

It was said that the area around the cave mansion was shrouded in a thick mist, which was filled with a poisonous miasma.

Even Xue Huai’an and Shen Mingyuan, at the level of Marrow Cleansing Realm Perfection, could barely resist the corrosive poisonous miasma.

Only Xia Lingfeng, who was at the level of Organ Refining Realm Perfection, dared to venture in a little deeper.

He saw from afar that the cave mansion was situated on a massive boulder in the middle of an abyss, with the two ancient words "Fog Concealment" carved into it.

Near the cave mansion, the trio discovered many precious Medicinal Materials and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

They had therefore suppressed the information, planning to report it to the Great Dao Sect and have their experts come investigate.

However, the news of the cave mansion’s emergence somehow leaked out, and soon everyone in Linji Prefecture knew about it.

Xia Lingfeng had no choice but to hold an urgent consultation with the City Lord’s Mansion. Ultimately, the Demon Suppression Department, the City Lord’s Mansion, and the Protectorate Army dispatched their experts to conduct a preliminary exploration of the cave mansion’s periphery.

They reaped a great harvest of precious Medicinal Materials and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

However, they also suffered considerable losses.

Afterward, numerous Jianghu Martial Artists also heard the news and flocked to the Great Wilderness Mountain Range.

Although the Linji City Government Office was nominally under the authority of the Great Dao Sect, true power was mainly held in the hands of the Inner City’s Four Great Clans.

All Four Great Clans had their own selfish agendas, secretly pocketing treasures they found. The Qin Family, controlling the Protectorate Army, had the most men and thus naturally acquired the most loot.

The other three clans were naturally unwilling to be left behind, so the situation gradually evolved into the four clans sending their own people to search for treasure near the cave mansion.

In addition to the forces of the Four Great Clans, other outside powers in Linji City were also dispatching more people to join the treasure hunt.

The area around the Fog Concealment Cave Mansion in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range had now become a convergence point for forces from numerous factions.

Even the Ancestors of the Inner City’s Four Great Clans had rushed to the scene.

For the Shen Family, their Ancestor, Shen Zhaoyi, was personally leading their contingent.

Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang had faced great peril during the last Demon Slayer mission, so they didn’t go this time.

In the sisters’ opinion, this affair was fraught with danger. With so many powerful experts gathered and the constant threat of the cave’s corrosive miasma, one wrong move could mean death. They didn’t want Chen Cheng going either.

The only reason they came to tell him was so that he could prepare himself ahead of time.

After all, with the emergence of this ancient cave mansion, not even the Ancestors of the Inner City’s Four Great Clans, masters at the level of Organ Refining Realm Perfection, dared to enter and explore it.

In the end, it was likely that only experts from a major power like the Great Dao Sect would dare to explore it.

Once word truly got out, the Great Dao Sect would surely send their experts, but it was feared that powers from other State Cities would dispatch their own experts as well.

When that happened, experts from various State Cities would converge, and the entire situation in Linji City would be thrown into upheaval.

Preparing in advance was the safest course of action.

In Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang’s minds, the best thing would be for Chen Cheng to move into the Shen Family estate. Only under the protection of the Shen Family Ancestor, Shen Zhaoyi, would he be truly safe.

Of course, for Chen Cheng to move into the Shen Family estate, he would naturally have to formally propose marriage.

Once they were all one family, Mu Xiaowan would of course move into the Shen Family estate with him.

Mu Xiaowan was quite shocked to hear all this so suddenly. Fortunately, she got along wonderfully with the two Shen sisters, so she readily agreed to the idea of moving to the Shen estate.

But the final decision, of course, rested with Chen Cheng.

When it was time to deliver the meal, the three of them arrived at Xuanwu Courtyard and found the main gate shut tight.

Mu Xiaowan used the door knocker. After waiting for a long while with no response, it was clear that Chen Cheng was busy and shouldn’t be disturbed.

So, as usual, Mu Xiaowan passed the bamboo basket filled with food through the small opening at the bottom of the door.

Unable to restrain her curiosity, Shen Qingyao peeked through the opening to get a look at the courtyard.

She saw that a chilling mist permeated the courtyard, and she could faintly hear the sound of a hammer striking metal.

"Huh..." she murmured in surprise. "The cold qi in the courtyard is so dense. It seems Junior Brother Chen really is practicing the Frost Snow Sword Technique.

But what’s with the sound of smithing?"

"That should be Luo Tiezhu, Mr. Luo, doing the smithing," Mu Xiaowan answered, then quickly added a word of caution.
