He knew the importance of this matter and could not afford any mistakes.

Shen Chongming hurried back to the room and shortly handed a letter and a storage bag to him.

"Inside this storage bag are some talismans and elixirs. Take them, just in case."

"When you reach Danzhou, be extra careful."

Shen Chongxuan accepted the letter and storage bag, slightly bowed, and left the old residence, heading north.

...

Before the Danzhou Barrier, Shen Chongxuan respectfully stood in front of the giant stone, gazing at Luo Tianxing.

Luo Tianxing held a letter, examining it closely for a long time, then lightly shook it, burning the letter to ashes.

He turned to Shen Chongxuan and said, "The Shen Family has more than one Golden Core. Why have they sent you to Danzhou this time?"

Shen Chongxuan respectfully bowed.

"I wouldn’t dare conceal from you, Senior. My third uncle and Xu Zhan recently went to the Western Wilderness to investigate something and have not returned yet."

Western Wilderness?

Luo Tianxing frowned slightly, pondering for a moment before speaking, "Where in Danzhou are you headed?"

Shen Chongxuan bowed again, revealing his approximate destination for this journey.

These details were all told by Shen Xiubai last night.

Luo Tianxing hesitated momentarily with a serious expression, then said, "Extend your hand."

Shen Chongxuan complied upon hearing this.

Luo Tianxing extended his finger, channeling spiritual power to leave a mysterious imprint on Shen Chongxuan’s palm.

"If you encounter danger during this trip, activate this imprint."

"Once I sense it, I will immediately come to your aid."

"But remember, it will take time for me to reach you. If you can’t hold on and perish, don’t blame me for not saving you."

Shen Chongxuan looked at the imprint in his palm and immediately bowed.

"Thank you, Senior."

Luo Tianxing nodded slightly, "Go on."

After sending off Shen Chongxuan, Luo Tianxing raised his brows lightly and then waved his hand, creating a vortex before him.

The next moment, in the small courtyard outside the Dragon-slaying Valley in the Western Wilderness.

Feng Jingyang was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard when the void before him suddenly distorted.

"What brings you here?"

Feeling the aura in the twisted space, Feng Jingyang spoke coldly without opening his eyes.

"Is the Shen Family kid with you here?"

Luo Tianxing’s voice emanated from the distorted space.

Feng Jingyang opened his eyes, sneering as he spoke, "Why are you worrying about this when the old man hasn’t said anything?"

After a quick retort, Feng Jingyang’s tone softened.

"Indeed, they are in the valley, but they ventured in by themselves, unrelated to me."

"The old man stated years ago, that any creature intruding into the Dragon-slaying Valley can be dealt with at my discretion."

"Considering his reputation, I’m merely asking them to catch a few rats in the valley this time, and then I’ll let them leave."

Luo Tianxing breathed a silent sigh of relief and said, "You already know the old man’s attitude toward the Shen Family."

"And I must tell you today that the Shen Family has bestowed kindness upon me."

"Therefore, I hope Brother Feng will show restraint and ensure they come to no harm, as the consequences would be unpleasant."

"You!"

Feng Jingyang wanted to say more, but the twisted space before him had already vanished.

His expression darkened as a hint of suspicion flickered in his eyes.

Xu Xiu and the Shen Family had a profound connection years ago, binding them with karma; he was aware of it.

However, Luo Tianxing’s acknowledgment of the Shen Family’s kindness today left Feng Jingyang somewhat perplexed.

Achieving their cultivation realm, they are highly mindful of karma.

Typically, no one wishes to entangle themselves with unnecessary karma.

Luo Tianxing’s admission today implies he’s accepting this karmic bond.

Feng Jingyang was curious about what Luo Tianxing had gained from the Shen Family.

After some thought, he understood.

With Luo Tianxing’s sudden appearance to address this matter today, he had to take it seriously.

Otherwise, if something indeed happens, not to mention accounting to Xu Xiu, surely Luo Tianxing would not let it go easily.

With this on his mind, Feng Jingyang lost interest in continuing to comprehend his divine power.

He now needed to maintain a certain level of vigilance, monitoring the valley’s activities.

After all, among the members of the Tribulation Fire Sect, there was one in the Purple Mansion Realm.

If they clashed, a delayed action by just a breath’s time could pose an increased danger to Shen Wen’an and the others.

...

Inside the Dragon-slaying Valley.

Huang Lingshan and two others surrounded the cross-legged Shen Wen’an, cautiously observing the surroundings.

After a moment, Shen Wen’an slowly opened his eyes and stood up.

"Third Uncle, how about it?"

Xu Zhan immediately approached to inquire.

Huang Lingshan and Liu Qixuan also came forward.

Facing the gazes of the three, Shen Wen’an spoke gravely, "I can sense this node has been recently disturbed."

"The array energy around hasn’t completely dissipated."

Upon hearing this, a gleam flashed in Huang Lingshan’s eyes, "Are you saying someone from the Tribulation Fire Sect just left here?"

Shen Wen’an nodded, glancing around, "They’ve likely realized we’re pursuing them. The array node here was hastily broken."

"Senior Sister, Senior Brother Liu."

"I think the four of us should split up and search this area."

"After an hour, if we find nothing, we will regroup here."

The three before him pondered momentarily and nodded in agreement.

"I’ll head left!"

Xu Zhan bowed and, with his spear slung behind him, sprinted to the left.

"Then I’ll take the right."

With a flash, Liu Qixuan vanished from the spot.

Remaining Huang Lingshan and Shen Wen’an exchanged a glance before heading forward.

Shortly after they dispersed, atop an ancient towering tree over ten miles from the node site, two figures were desperately concealing their presence, watching Liu Qixuan swiftly pass below. One, with a slightly aged appearance, spoke in a low, menacing voice:
