My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 210 Cheap Brother
"Sure enough."

"The Soul-Capturing Bell itself is far from enough to attack cultivators in the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, but if it is combined with my Out-of-Body level divine sense, the power it can unleash will probably be unstoppable by few people below the Out-of-Body Realm!"

The enemy was defeated in a single blow.

This relieved Shen Changchuan as well.

Judging from the power displayed by this bronze bell, even if Shen Changchuan possessed the powerful, instantaneous technique, the Azure Wood Sword Light,
However, defeating the opponent in a head-on battle is by no means an easy task!
only,
Shen Changchuan's strength lies not only in his magical power and the many perfect-level techniques he has mastered.

He also possesses a powerful divine soul!

Shen Zeyu, who wields this bronze bell artifact, is indeed powerful.

However, his power only lies in external objects, such as bronze bells and magical artifacts.

Their own strength simply didn't reach that level.

This,

This also gave Shen Changchuan room to exploit loopholes.

Using the power of the Soul-Capturing Bell, he attacked with a force far exceeding that of his opponent's soul.
It bypassed the incomparably powerful magical artifact, the bronze bell, and directly attacked the soul.

As a result, Shen Zeyu was defeated in a single blow before he could even unleash the true power of the bronze bell!
"To make the most of my advantage in the soul, perhaps I should go and find some secret techniques that can directly attack the soul."

The easiest way is to take down the enemy.
The same thought flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind.

As thoughts flashed through my mind,
His hands moved just as quickly.

After throwing the bronze bell from the other party's hand into his storage bag, Shen Changchuan picked up the body of the now crippled Shen Zeyu and prepared to find a place to thoroughly search his soul and interrogate him.

But at this moment,
He suddenly sensed something.

The figure suddenly froze.
His gaze turned toward a certain direction behind him.

The next breath

A gaunt figure dressed in black appeared as if in a flash atop a collapsed house not far away.

Make eye contact.

The other party did not make a move.

Didn't speak either.

Shen Changchuan remained silent.

The air fell silent for a moment.

Is this person your target?

"No, I just saw it on the way."

"Then I'll take him with me."

".casual."

The gaunt man in black fell silent for a moment.

Shen Changchuan nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Mentioning Shen Zeyu means heading towards the outside world.

Only after Shen Changchuan's figure had walked more than ten feet away did the gaunt figure finally unable to help but ask:
Why did you arrest this person?

"I am now the town magistrate of Dawang Village, and they previously plotted to seize my current property."

Take care.

"Take care of yourself too."

Shen Changchuan led Shen Zeyu away. The gaunt figure stood silently atop the ruins of the house, watching him disappear into the distance.

not far away,
Nangong Cheng, ignored like a passerby, glanced at Shen Changchuan who had left, and then at the figure standing on the ruins of the collapsed house behind him.

these two,
Do you seem to know me?

Why is the atmosphere so strange?
I was curious.

However, Nangong Cheng didn't dwell on it any longer.
He turned and left with Shen Changchuan.

Looks like we were lucky; we achieved our goal without any unexpected problems along the way.

But what is the relationship between Brother Shen and that man in black?

There must be a connection!
It's just weird and strange.
Nangong Cheng wasn't a gossip-loving person.
But at this moment,
Deep down, I couldn't help but feel a ticklish sensation, like a kitten trying to scratch itself.

I really want to know!
Until they are far away,

Shen Changchuan found a corner to search Shen Zeyu's soul.

Nangong Cheng finally couldn't resist and stepped forward.

"Ahem, Brother Shen, who was that just now?"

Shen Changchuan gave him a strange look.

He didn't remember this guy being a gossip.
Shake his head,
Shen Changchuan didn't take it to heart.

He glanced at the sky with a slightly melancholy look in his eyes, and sighed softly:

"That man just now, I suppose he was my half-brother?"

Perhaps it was due to the atmosphere or environment.
Perhaps due to the awkward family relationships of the original owner, Shen Changchuan couldn't help but feel a greater urge to confide in others.

Fortunately, there was nothing to hide.

“I have many siblings, more than fifty or sixty, and the number is basically increasing or decreasing every year. However, my mother came from a very humble background. The struggles among the children of large families are also very brutal, so I have never dared to be too active or showy within the family. I can only hide myself and hardly interact with any of them, using my aloofness as a disguise and protection.”

"That guy just now, his name is Shen Chong. His mother's background wasn't high either; she seemed to have been a courtesan. She was always suppressed by the First Madam. However, he and his half-brother are different from me; they've always been very active, and they've been tough since childhood. When faced with bullying from my adopted siblings, they always fought back with their fists. But because of this, the two brothers have always been isolated among my adopted siblings. They basically mock each other and fight whenever they meet."

"His brother had better cultivation aptitude. Under the madam's instruction to withhold resources, he was still able to cultivate to the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining within a few years. However, he later died by suicide. He and his mother were also dealt with by the madam. I heard before the New Year that my aunt died of a serious illness, and he publicly declared that he had betrayed the Shen family."

"I don't have a deep relationship with those siblings I've only met once or twice a year at the New Year's Eve dinner. I have no connection with them, nor any grudges against them; I'm just familiar with their faces."

"Perhaps it's because I've never ganged up on them like the others, so they treat me differently from their other adopted siblings."

Shen Changchuan's voice carried a hint of speculation.

Although he has mostly stayed in his small courtyard since transmigrating, living like a recluse in the library and rarely showing his face throughout the year, he still manages to learn about some of the things that happen within the compound through the words of the maids and servants.

Based on what he had heard, if it were one of his other half-siblings here,

Even if he doesn't die, he'll likely lose at least an arm or a leg. How could he possibly remain so calm and indifferent?
Although the atmosphere was a bit awkward, there was indeed a subtle sense of closeness between them.

However, regarding these,

Shen Changchuan didn't really care.

Just like the fifty or sixty adopted brothers and sisters in the Shen family compound,
Shen Changchuan had no brotherly affection for them whatsoever.
Let alone claiming to be the transmigrator himself,

That is the original form.

Even with blood relatives, they mostly remain indifferent and stand by.

They were just a group of strangers with the same father.

Only a mother who truly cares for you will have some kind of emotional bond with you.
