Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15835 The Shen Family
A flash of white light appeared, and a short cultivator appeared in the Yin Corpse Sect's teleportation array. He was short and extremely thin, as if he were skin and bones. This was a characteristic of the Yin Corpse Sect; all their sect's cultivation techniques, when practiced to the end, resulted in this appearance. Their sect was famous for refining corpses, but there were rumors that the people of the Yin Corpse Sect did more than just refine corpses. Their cultivation techniques ultimately aimed to refine themselves into living corpses, so that they could achieve immortality. It was precisely because of this that the people of the Yin Corpse Sect, after practicing their sect's techniques, would increasingly resemble dried corpses.

The cultivator who appeared in the teleportation array was extremely pale, and his whole body exuded a sense of weakness.

The disciple guarding the teleportation array at the Yin Corpse Sect was taken aback when he saw the man, and then quickly stepped forward to help him up, saying, "Senior Brother Chen, why are you back? Didn't you go to the Nine Yang Immortal Palace region with the elders?"

The one called Senior Brother Shen was a disciple of Elder Shen's family, named Shen Yuan. After hearing what the disciple said, he smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, but this battle with the Sword River Sect was too intense. I was seriously injured, and I'm afraid it won't heal for a while, so my ancestor asked me to come back to recuperate."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, the disciple said nothing more. Shen Yuan then came down from the teleportation array, and the disciple immediately arranged for someone to send Shen Yuan back to the Shen family. However, this matter was reported to the Yin Corpse Sect, and no one suspected that Shen Yuan felt something was wrong with him. He was seriously injured and would not recover in a short time, so sending him back to the sect to recuperate was a perfectly normal thing to do, and of course no one would suspect anything.

The Shen family learned of Shen Yuan's return very quickly. Even before Shen Yuan arrived at the Shen family home, the Shen family members were already waiting for him. As Shen Yuan was a genius disciple of the Shen family, the Shen family valued him highly, so some members of the Shen family were already waiting for Shen Yuan at the Shen family's gate.

When Shen Yuan arrived at the Shen family's gate, he saw an elder of the Shen family waiting for him. As soon as he saw the elder, he bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Fifth Uncle."

This elder was Shen Yuan's fifth uncle, named Shen Ming. Shen Ming nodded, then clasped his hands in thanks to the disciple who had brought Shen Yuan back, saying, "Thank you, this is for you." He then handed a spatial bag to the disciple.

The disciple quickly bowed to Shen Ming, repeatedly saying he dared not accept the spatial bag, but still took it and then turned and left.

After the disciple left, Shen Ming looked at Shen Yuan and asked, "How are you injured?"

Shen Yuan gave a wry smile and said, "Let's go inside and talk." Shen Ming nodded and immediately directed the servants to help Shen Yuan into the Shen family home. As soon as they entered, Shen Ming said, "I'll have someone come and take a look at you right away."

Shen Yuan shook his head and said, "Fifth Uncle, don't worry, I'm fine. I came back this time on the orders of the Ancestor. I wasn't injured."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Shen Ming's expression changed. He immediately glanced around warily, then said in a deep voice, "Don't let anyone see through us. Go back to your courtyard first, and I'll find someone to treat you. We can't let anyone notice anything amiss."

Shen Yuan responded, and Shen Ming immediately directed the servants to take Shen Yuan back to his courtyard. After Shen Yuan was settled, Shen Ming turned to the two servants who were supporting Shen Yuan and said, "You just need to know about this, don't tell anyone." These two were servants of the Shen family and could be trusted completely.

The two quickly agreed, and then Shen Ming went to personally invite someone. Among cultivators, there are also people who specialize in treating injuries. Although cultivators are powerful and can heal most of their injuries themselves, there are still some more troublesome injuries that require treatment. Large families like the Shen family have people who specialize in this.

Shen Ming personally went to the Shen family's specialist in treating injuries. This person was from a branch of the Shen family and possessed exceptional medical skills. His name was Shen Jing.

Shen Jing has his own courtyard, which is kept very clean. There are many herbs in the courtyard, which can be refined into pills. Shen Jing is also an alchemist.

Shen Jing was tidying up the herbs in the courtyard when he saw Shen Ming come to his courtyard. He was quite surprised and quickly bowed to Shen Ming, saying, "Fifth Brother, what brings you here?" Although Shen Jing was from a collateral branch, he and Shen Ming were of the same generation, so it was perfectly normal for him to call Shen Ming Fifth Brother.

Shen Ming said, "Come with me, Yuan'er is injured, go and see him." Shen Jing's expression changed, but he didn't ask any questions. He simply responded and followed Shen Ming outside.

As the two walked out, Shen Ming's voice came again: "Brother Jing, Yuan'er is not injured. He returned on the orders of the Ancestor, but we cannot let outsiders know. So when you get to Yuan'er's courtyard, you must pretend to treat his injuries. If anyone asks, just say he was injured."

Shen Jing was taken aback. Then he turned to look at Shen Ming, only to find that Shen Ming was not looking at him, as if he hadn't been the one who had just spoken. Shen Jing immediately understood that Shen Ming had transmitted his words to him telepathically. He understood Shen Ming's meaning and responded telepathically without asking any further questions.

The two quickly arrived at Shen Yuan's courtyard. Shen Jing pretended to treat Shen Yuan's injuries and left after a while. After Shen Jing left, Shen Ming also left Shen Yuan's courtyard and arranged for disciples to take good care of Shen Yuan, as if Shen Yuan were really injured. It wasn't until after dark that Shen Yuan secretly left his courtyard and went to a secret room in the Shen family. The head of the Shen family and several elders were all waiting for him there, as was Shen Ming.

As soon as Shen Yuan entered the secret room, he immediately bowed to the group and then said, "Greetings, Patriarch, and elders."

The head of the Shen family, Shen Feng, nodded and said, "Sit down and let's talk." Shen Yuan responded and then sat down.

Shen Feng looked at Shen Yuan and said, "Yuan'er, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Shen Yuan gave a bitter smile and said, "Patriarch, it's like this. Something happened when we attacked the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. In fact, a drastic change occurred at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. The Nine Yang Immortal Palace, and all the sects in that area, have been unified by a sect called the Blood Slaughter Sect. Zhong Wuya and the others have long been dealt with by them. That place was simply a trap set for us. After we went there, we were wiped out in one fell swoop. Not a single one of us escaped."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Shen Feng and the others' expressions changed. Shen Feng then stared intently at Shen Yuan and said, "How can I believe what you say?"

Shen Yuan gave a bitter smile, and then all the flesh and blood on his body disappeared, turning him directly into a skeleton. Then his voice came again, saying, "My current appearance is what the Blood Slaughter Sect did to me. It's not just me; even the Ancestor and the others are the same."

He then returned to his original appearance, while Shen Feng and the others stared at him in disbelief. They truly hadn't expected Shen Yuan to turn out like this.

Then Shen Yuan moved his hand again, and a communication array appeared in his hand. Of course, he deliberately created this communication array. After all, it would be too troublesome to explain to Shen Feng and the others what the Yantian Sphere was. So he directly created a communication array and then made a phone call to Elder Shen.

Elder Shen quickly answered the phone, and his projection appeared in front of the Shen family. When the Shen family members saw Elder Shen, they were all stunned. Then they hurriedly bowed to Elder Shen and said, "Greetings, Ancestor."

Elder Shen waved his hand and said, "That's enough, no need to be polite. Yuan'er should have told you about our situation here. Everything he said is true. I told him to go back, so you don't need to doubt him."

Shen Feng and the others all responded, but Shen Feng still spoke up, "Ancestor, do you still remember what our Shen family's hand seal secret technique is?"

Upon hearing Shen Feng's words, Elder Shen was taken aback for a moment, then he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're worried that this is a pre-recorded projection, aren't you? You're quite cautious, not bad." After saying that, Elder Shen made a few hand gestures. These hand gestures were actually a special kind of hand gesture, which was generally only understood by members of the Shen family and passed down from generation to generation. Outsiders did not know about them.

When Shen Feng and the others saw Elder Shen make the hand seal, they finally believed him completely. Shen Feng bowed to Elder Shen and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Ancestor. I know what to do now."

Elder Shen nodded and then said, "Listen to Yuan'er. This matter is an opportunity for our Shen family. You must listen to Yuan'er." Shen Feng and the others all responded, and then Elder Shen hung up the phone.

After Elder Shen hung up the phone, Shen Feng and the others sat down again. Then Shen Feng looked at Shen Yuan and said, "Tell me, what exactly does the Ancestor want you to do by bringing you back?"

Shen Yuan briefly explained the Blood Slaughter Sect's plan to Shen Feng and the others. After he finished speaking, he said to Shen Feng and the others, "I came back this time hoping that my family could help me set up the magic array under cover. That way, we can have the sect come and take down the entire Yin Corpse Sect, and then we can proceed with the next step of the plan."

Upon hearing what Shen Yuan said, Shen Feng and the others all nodded. Then, Shen Feng looked at Shen Yuan and asked, "Is it enough to just provide cover? Is there nothing else we need to do?"

Shen Yuan shook his head and said, "Nothing else is needed. In fact, if you are willing, I can turn you into the undead race. This will give you more trust from the sect. And to be honest, after becoming undead, we will become the sect leader's most trusted people. This will benefit us and our cultivation. Moreover, this is an opportunity for us. You should know that the sect does not allow disciples to become undead at will. If we miss this opportunity, we may never have the chance to become undead again."

When Shen Feng and the others heard what Shen Yuan said, they were all stunned. Then, they all showed a hint of excitement. This showed that they were different from other sects. They did not have any aversion to becoming the undead race. On the contrary, they were somewhat tempted. It can be seen that they were not averse to death.
