"Why would Martial Artists from High-level Sects come to a backwater place like this? And they even sent a Spirit Emperor Level powerhouse. Something’s strange!" The Martial Artists slowly gathering in the city began to discuss among themselves.
"Could it be that another genius has appeared in our Cyan Mountain City, alarming the people from the High-level Sects?" a Martial Artist guessed. After all, Cyan Mountain City was remote, and the surrounding Spiritual Power wasn’t particularly abundant. The only thing that could attract High-level Sects was a genius disciple.
"Now that you mention it, that’s possible. Rare geniuses have appeared within the city’s three great families: Liu Xiahui of the Liu Family, Ge Qiang of the Ge Family, and Qing Hai of the City Lord’s Mansion. All three of them broke through to the Spirit Monkey Tier a few months ago. To have such an achievement at their age is enough to be worthy of the title ’genius’," a Martial Artist said after a moment of thought.
Hearing that Martial Artist’s words, a hint of envy appeared in the eyes of the surrounding crowd. For a Martial Artist, being able to enter a High-level Sect was a huge opportunity. Only within those High-level Sects could one find systematic training, countless cultivation resources, and High-level Martial Skills. This was an absolutely immense temptation for them.
"Go, go, go! Quickly tell the three great families this news!" Some Martial Artists who had connections with the three great families immediately ran off into the city.
Meanwhile, aboard the five massive Griffins in the sky, the disciples of Fallen Valley stared expressionlessly at the commotion below, waiting for the leading elder to give the order.
"This is Cyan Mountain City? A genius capable of killing the Young Master of the Valley actually came from a godforsaken place like this?" The leading Spirit Emperor Powerhouse glanced disdainfully at the bustling crowd below and spoke lightly.
"Backwater places produce savage people. That Shen Haoran probably used some underhanded means to get the Young Master of the Valley killed. The Young Master was too careless, to actually die at the hands of someone like that!" an Elder from Fallen Valley snorted, his tone filled with contempt.
"No matter what means he used, it’s an indisputable fact that the Young Master of the Valley died at his hands. Although we didn’t like that Young Master, this is the Valley Master’s order. We should just get it over with," the leading Spirit Emperor Powerhouse said indifferently. ’When I first received this order, I actually wanted to refuse. But I have no choice but to obey the Valley Master’s command. Making me kill an insignificant little family in this Cyan Mountain City will truly dirty my hands.’
Hearing the elder’s words, the faces of the Fallen Valley disciples trembled. They felt a fear for the Valley Master he mentioned that came from the bottom of their hearts, from the very depths of their souls. They never dared to refute a single word from this Valley Master.
"Alright. Go down and find the Shen Family. Remember, leave no one alive!" the Spirit Emperor Level elder ordered coldly. With that, the disciples behind him responded in unison, leaping directly from the Griffins and charging toward the city.
At this moment, the people from the three great families and the City Lord’s Mansion saw the Martial Artists leaping from the sky and immediately sprang into action. In their eyes, these Martial Artists were here to recruit genius disciples. They had to find a way to make contact with them as soon as possible and recommend their own family’s disciples.
However, when the Martial Artists from the City Lord’s Mansion, the Liu Family, and the Ge Family rushed into the city, they discovered that all of the visitors were heading for the Shen Family. This left the three families stunned, unsure of what to do. It wasn’t just them; all the Martial Artists in Cyan Mountain City were dumbfounded. They never expected these people to be heading straight for the Shen Family.
"The Shen Family! I can’t believe it’s the Shen Family again. Three years ago, they produced Shen Haoran, who was already heaven-defyingly talented. I wonder who will be lucky enough to be chosen by a High-level Sect this time."
"If someone from the Shen Family enters a High-level Sect again, their status in Cyan Mountain City will probably surpass the other three Major Influences, and they’ll become the Kings of Cyan Mountain City. After all, with two disciples in High-level Sects, if those two gain some influence within their Sect, eradicating the other three Major Influences from Cyan Mountain City would be as easy as saying the word!"
"I wonder if the other three Major Influences can still hold themselves back!" Discussions like this echoed throughout Cyan Mountain City. The Elders of the Ge Family, the Liu Family, and the City Lord’s Mansion heard the talk, and their expressions turned grim.
The Martial Artists were right. If the Shen Family produced another clan member like Shen Haoran this time, then Cyan Mountain City would truly belong to the Shen Family in the future.
"Let’s go and see!" At that moment, the three families reached a consensus and quickly headed toward the Shen Family’s estate.
A moment later, the Martial Artists of Cyan Mountain City all swarmed toward the Shen Family. They also wanted to see what the Shen Family had that would attract a High-level Sect.
By the time the crowd arrived at the Shen Family estate, the disciples of Fallen Valley had already reached the Shen Family’s main square. At this moment, Old Sir Shen, Shen Haoran’s grandfather, was leading the Shen Clan Members to welcome these Martial Artists.
"Clan Leader, the atmosphere feels wrong. These people don’t seem like they’re here to recruit disciples!" the Shen Family’s Grand Elder said with a frown, sensing the oppressive aura in the air.
Hearing this, Old Sir Shen’s brow furrowed as well. He looked at the lineup of Fallen Valley disciples before him: three Spirit Aspect Peak powerhouses, twenty Spirit Marquis Martial Artists, and a Spirit Emperor Powerhouse performing the Sky-Soaring Void Step in mid-air. This formation didn’t look like they were here to recruit disciples at all.
"May I ask why you seniors have come?" Old Sir Shen asked, suppressing the doubt in his heart and cupping his fist.
"Is this Shen Haoran’s family?" one of Fallen Valley’s Spirit Aspect Powerhouses asked coldly, not answering Old Sir Shen’s question.
Hearing the Spirit Aspect Powerhouse’s words and his ice-cold tone, Old Sir Shen understood. These people were likely here seeking revenge on Shen Haoran. His mind began to race.
"Yes, but Haoran is not in the clan at the moment. I must ask you all to leave!" Hearing the blatant hostility toward Shen Haoran, Old Sir Shen’s expression turned grim as he spoke coldly.
"Hmph, leave? Who said we came for Shen Haoran? Since this is his family, that makes things simple. Men, kill them all! Leave no one alive!" A cruel smile touched the corner of the Fallen Valley Spirit Aspect Powerhouse’s mouth. He waved his hand, and the disciples behind him swarmed forward, charging toward the Shen Clan Members!
"What?!" Old Sir Shen’s face changed drastically when he saw the disciples charge. ’So their target wasn’t Shen Haoran, but the Shen Clan Members!’ His expression contorted, and he roared at the people behind him, "Run!"
The moment Old Sir Shen’s words fell, the Fallen Valley disciples charged into the crowd of Shen Clan Members. Before anyone could react, the long blades in the disciples’ hands fell upon them. Warm blood sprayed into the air as disaster instantly descended upon the Shen Family...
