Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 110 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

ps: Shen Qingshan and Qu Feiyan had confused each other about their cultivation levels before. It was the first level of Ningyuan Realm, not the first level of Guiyuan Realm!

How could Shen Tiannan be an ordinary person if he could become the head of the Shen family and keep the Shen family standing firm in a place like the capital where good and bad people mix?
Within a few months of coming to Yuyang City, Shen Tiannan had already secretly asked the Shen family members to inquire about the situation of various forces within Jiangnan Prefecture.

He also knew that Songhe Gate and Qianri Pavilion had frequent contacts on a daily basis.

What's the difference between saying this in front of everyone and mobbing someone to force them?

The Shen family needed to establish their authority by entertaining all parties today, and now that the Songhe Sect has offered it to them, Shen Tiannan can use it as a warning to others.

Seeing Shen Tiannan's tough attitude, Liu Songhe opened his mouth, and finally sat back weakly, with worry covering his brows.

Then, Shen Tiannan spoke again: "I wonder if there is anyone else who thinks that the sect is not being run well and wants the Shen family to provide less money?"

As he spoke, Shen Tiannan swept his eyes around the yard outside, looking at those who had spoken in agreement with Liu Songhe earlier.

The moment they met Shen Tiannan's gaze, all the sect leaders who had spoken before became silent like quails.

Taking Shen Tiannan's reaction into account, Yu Daying from the Wudang Sect couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Song Yuanqiao, "I didn't expect that the Shen family's Patriarch, while seemingly kind, is actually quite experienced in handling matters. He's not much worse than you, Senior Brother."

Facing Yu Dayan's voice transmission, Song Yuanqiao secretly responded, "The Shen family is a place of outstanding talent and good fortune. To have a swordsmanship prodigy like Young Master Shen, Shen Tiannan, as the head of the family, is naturally no ordinary person."

Finally, Song Yuanqiao glanced around and sighed softly.

"What a pity! It looks like Master Shen won't show up today."

Yu Dayan snorted inwardly, "Who is Master Shen? Even Master admires him immensely. Are these people really worthy of Master Shen's presence?"

After hearing what Yu Daying said, Song Yuanqiao did not refute.

After all, although Yu Daying's words were arrogant, they were also true.

Even after several months, whenever Song Yuanqiao recalled the strength and powerful talent displayed by Shen Pingan, he still couldn't help but sigh.

At the front hall, Shen Tiannan glanced around again and spoke again: "Since everyone has no objection, then it is settled. From now on, on the first day of every month, please deliver the offering money to the Shen family on time."

With the toughness that Shen Tiannan had just shown, no one present dared to express their opinions and they all nodded in response.

Seeing this, Shen Tiannan waved his hand and announced the start of the meal.

Although the Shen family had specially invited a famous chef from Jiangnan Prefecture to entertain everyone for this banquet, the thought of a 50% reduction in monthly income made everyone present feel like they were chewing wax when eating the dishes.

at the same time.

Mountain villa courtyard.

Looking at Zhang Sanniang who was still following her, Yao Yue frowned and asked, "How long are you going to stay with me?"

Facing Yaoyue's impatience, Zhang Sanniang remained calm and said, "This courtyard was arranged for the three of us by Patriarch Shen, and it's not exclusive to you, Palace Master Yaoyue. How can you say that Sanniang is following Palace Master Yaoyue?"

From the moment they met, Yao Yue had a vague feeling that Zhang Sanniang in front of her was a little different from the last time she met her in the capital.

It is less gentle and casual, and more confrontational.

This feeling made Yao Yue feel more and more annoyed when she looked at Zhang Sanniang.

"If you want to fight, I can fight with you right now."

Hearing this, Zhang Sanniang chuckled and said, "Palace Master Yaoyue wants to fight, and Sanniang will naturally accompany you. However, there are priorities. After meeting Master Shen, Sanniang will definitely learn the unique skills of the Yihua Palace again."

After saying this, regardless of Yao Yue's reaction, he asked the Shen family about the location of his room and then asked, "Could you please go and inform them that Sanniang wants to see you?"

In the Shen family, anything related to Shen Ping'an will attract the attention of all members of the Shen family.

When Zhang Sanniang was in the capital, she went in and out of the Shen family many times.

In addition, Shen Tiannan was also happy to see a woman like Zhang Sanniang close to Shen Ping'an.

Therefore, as early as in the capital, everyone in the Shen family knew about the close relationship between Zhang Sanniang and Shen Pingan.

At this moment, in response to Zhang Sanniang's question, the Shen family member who led the way immediately nodded and said, "Excuse me, Miss Zhang, for waiting a moment. I will go to the Young Master's courtyard and pass on the message."

"Good work."

After responding with a smile, Zhang Sanniang turned around and walked to the stone table in the yard, sat down and waited.

Seeing this, Yao Yue narrowed her eyes, snorted, and actually walked to the stone table and sat down.

Seeing this, Zhang Sanniang chuckled in her heart but said nothing.

Half a minute later, Shen Qingshan entered the villa by using his lightness skills.

When Shen Qingshan approached, Yao Yue and Zhang Sanniang both looked serious.

Immediately afterwards, Lian Xing's expression changed and she murmured, "First level of Condensation Realm, how is that possible?"

Lian Xing clearly remembered that when they were in the capital, Shen Qingshan had not even entered the Innate Realm.

But now, in just half a year, he has already entered the Nascent Soul Realm.

You know, even with Lian Xing and Yao Yue's talents, it took them two years to advance from the Xiantian Realm to the Ningyuan Realm.

But Shen Qingshan did it in just half a year, which Lian Xing thought was obviously unreasonable.

"Could it be that Master Shen personally taught them the skills and improved their cultivation?" Not only Lian Xing came up with this guess, but Zhang Sanniang and Yao Yue beside her also had the same idea.

After all, looking around the world, there is no other way for a person to improve his cultivation so much in such a short period of time except through methods such as enlightenment.

While the three women were thinking, Shen Qingshan had already entered the yard.

After greeting Yao Yue and Lian Xing, Shen Qingshan looked at Zhang Sanniang and said, "Miss Zhang, please don't be offended. My cousin is currently practicing in the Sword Washing Pond. If Miss Zhang wants to see him, she may need to wait in the garden as before."

Zhang Sanniang nodded and said, "Practice is important. It's okay for Sanniang to wait."

Seeing this, Shen Qingshan nodded and said, "Please follow me."

After saying that, Shen Qingshan turned around and led the way for Zhang Sanniang.

But as Zhang Sanniang stood up, Yao Yue and Lian Xing, who had been sitting before, also stood up one after another and followed Shen Qingshan together with Zhang Sanniang.

Faced with the actions of Yaoyue and Lianxing, Zhang Sanniang frowned slightly.

After walking a hundred steps, he glanced at Yaoyue and said indifferently, "I wonder how long Palace Master Yaoyue will continue to follow Sanniang?"

Similar words, but the objects are reversed.

Yao Yue looked ahead and said in a cold tone, "Hearing what you said, I almost thought this was your home."

The implication is that Zhang Sanniang is not the owner of this place and has no control over her.

In response, Zhang Sanniang looked at Yao Yue.

Yao Yue also felt something and turned her head slightly.

After their eyes met, they both snorted coldly, then turned their heads away, feeling disgusted with each other.

After a few breaths, Zhang Sanniang asked, "By the way, what is this sword-washing pond that the Second Young Master just mentioned?"

Shen Qingshan, who was walking in front, said without turning his head, "That's a place where my cousin built a sword storage pool. The swords he and I would use after training would be placed in this sword-washing pool."

Hearing this, Zhang Sanniang's eyes lit up and she asked, "So the sword energy and sword intent in this villa are caused by this sword washing pool?"

"Exactly!"

Shen Qingshan nodded in response.

After receiving confirmation from Shen Qingshan, Zhang Sanniang asked with a puzzled look, "But once the sword will and sword energy leave the body, won't they dissipate like rootless duckweed in the wind? Why has the sword will and sword energy persisted in the Sword Washing Pool for so long?"

Shen Qingshan scratched his head: "I'm not sure about that. Maybe it's because my cousin has perfected his sword intent?"

Zhang Sanniang pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, Master Shen's sword intent has reached perfection, and it has the effect of transforming decay into something magical. It is certainly different from ordinary sword intent."

As they were talking, several people were brought into the garden by Shen Qingshan.

After signaling to the three people, Shen Qingshan used his lightness skills to rush into the stone chamber where the sword washing pool was located.

Half an hour later, Shen Tiannan glanced at the people at the main table who seemed to be in disharmony, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and coughed lightly.

When Qin Mengyao, Song Yuanqiao, and the others all looked at him, the head of the Shen family said, "I think you have all asked my family members why the atmosphere in this villa is different before!"

Listening to what Song Yuanqiao asked, Qin Mengyao nodded.

"To be honest with Patriarch Shen, Mengyao could sense the sharp sword intent and the aura of sword energy in this villa the moment she stepped into the Shen family's house. At that time, she was surprised by the sword intent and the strong aura of sword energy in this villa."

"Although the friend from the Shen family who led the way said that these sword energies and sword intentions originated from Young Master Yu, Mengyao finds it hard to imagine what kind of cultivation could have caused the sword intentions and sword energy in this villa to be so dense."

Shen Tiannan smiled and said, "To be honest, the reason why the sword spirit and sword energy in the villa are so strong is because Ping An built a sword washing pool in the villa half a year ago for his daily practice."

"If you are interested, I can take you there to have a look. I think you will understand why the sword intent and sword energy in my Shen's Villa are so strong."

Hearing this, Qin Mengyao smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'll trouble Master Shen."

Not to mention Qin Mengyao, Song Yuanqiao and the leaders of several other first-class forces at the main table also showed interest.

Everyone knows that Master Yu Shen Ping'an is a master of swordsmanship, and his sword skills have reached perfection. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best swordsman in the Ming Dynasty.

The sword-washing pool that Shen Ping'an could build alone for his cultivation must be something extraordinary.

Everyone was also curious about what was so special about this sword-washing pool. The aura was so strong that the entire Shen's Villa was affected by the sword intent and sword energy.

The conversation between Shen Tiannan and others in the front hall was not isolated by true Qi.

The conversation between the few people was also heard clearly by those people outside the front hall who had been secretly circulating their true energy and keeping their ears open.

For a moment, everyone became very interested in the sword washing pool.

Following the leadership of several second-rank forces outside the front yard, after confirming that they could also go together, a group of people followed Shen Tiannan and headed towards Shen Pingan.

Although the Shen family only sent out more than a hundred invitations to the banquet this time.

But would the leaders of these forces travel alone?
Almost all of them brought their favorite disciples or juniors with them.

Even though more people were left in the inns in the city, there were still hundreds of people following Shen Tiannan.

As they walked, people from various forces were talking to each other, making this usually quiet and elegant villa a bit more noisy.
