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

Chapter 268 An unexpected encounter
"Young Master truly lives up to his reputation as the number one young talent in the Tiannan Region! This beast was beyond our control even with the combined strength of all of us, yet Young Master captured it with ease!"

The tall, thin man flattered him with a fawning smile.

Although Huangshi Village is under the control of the Shen family of Tiannan,

However, he was not a member of the Shen family.

Instead, he came from a subordinate family of the Shen family.

For a peerless genius like Shen Changchuan who suddenly appeared in the Shen family,
However, they dared not show the slightest disrespect.

However, regarding this,

Shen Changchuan, however, did not care at all; instead, he frowned slightly.

"What is it? Just say it."

He doesn't have that much time for witty banter.

"Young master, please forgive us. We have come here simply to express our gratitude for your help. The village has prepared wine and food. Would you be so kind as to invite us to join you so that we may express our thanks?"

Seeing Shen Changchuan's expression,

The man's face turned pale with fear, and he quickly spoke.

"No need, I have other things to do and I'm about to return to my sect."

"Do as you please."

He waved his hand,

Shen Changchuan assumed that the other party was just a sycophant within the family system trying to curry favor with him, and thus rejected the other party's kindness.

In fact, the other party's reaction

That's understandable.

Unlike the outer disciples of the Dragon Sky Sect who entered the sect with him,

Those who can enter the Dragon Sky Sect are all geniuses in the eyes of outsiders.

Geniuses naturally possess the pride that comes with them.
Therefore, some of his fellow disciples were not particularly impressed after learning that Shen Changchuan had defeated Mo Lingfeng. Instead, they were filled with fighting spirit and wanted to surpass him.

For the vast majority of ordinary people outside,

Reaching the peak of Qi Refining already makes one a great figure.

Those who can defeat and kill someone at the Nascent Soul stage while only at the Qi Refining stage are undoubtedly great figures with a bright future and cannot be treated with the slightest negligence!

The fact is also true,

Along the way
The various village chiefs, town mayors, and other powerful figures that Shen Changchuan faced were all extremely respectful, constantly flattering and fawning over him.

If Shen Changchuan hadn't possessed sufficient self-control, hadn't seen a wider world, and hadn't always been indifferent to matters of reputation,

It's hard to say how many people will be influenced by these words of praise and flattery, to the point that they become so smug and lose themselves in them.

Shen Changchuan didn't wait for the other party to speak.

Riding the gentle breeze, it soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

However, what Shen Changchuan didn't notice was...

After he left,

The obsequious smile on the tall, thin man's face quickly faded.

Instead,

There was a sense of unease.

He stared in the direction where Shen Changchuan had disappeared, gritted his teeth, and took out a communication talisman to activate it.

Watching the yellow communication talisman's light disappear into the void,
The tall, thin man seemed to be talking to himself:
“We are just ordinary people, unlike you, who have no choice.”

"Young Master Shen, please don't blame me."

"After this incident, I'll have to lay low for a while."

"The Shen family of Tiannan. Alas, after several years of transmigration, I see only a few members of this once-great family, and there are hardly any left to care about."

"I wonder how my cheap buddy Shen Chong is doing. But with 'Grandpa' around, he'll probably advance to the Nascent Soul stage soon."

"Speaking of which, it seems Shen Chong made a three-year vow when he left the family. The time is almost up now. I really want to go back and see the First Madam's expression; it's bound to be a good show."

Shen Changchuan rode on Xiao Feng's back.
I let my thoughts wander. A faint sense of regret flashed through my mind.

Speaking of,
His impression of that first wife was definitely not good.

If he can see the other party suffer misfortune, it's definitely a good thing for him.

"But never mind, the news will spread naturally later."

"We can enjoy the show later; for now, the priority is to advance to the Nascent Soul stage."

Although he was pleased that the first wife had been thwarted.

But Shen Changchuan wasn't the kind of person who would make a special trip just to watch the drama unfold.

Therefore, I don't intend to make that trip.

at this time,

call out!
A communication talisman flew out of the space, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards him.

Shen Changchuan instinctively reached out and grabbed.

Inside is a message requesting help after being attacked by monsters on the road.

Shen Changchuan's expression froze slightly.

This is a relatively low-level message.
The maximum transmission distance is only about 100 miles.

Shortly after he arrived in Dawancun, he distributed some of them for communication purposes.

The voice pleading for help in the message talisman initially sounded somewhat familiar to him.

After thinking about it carefully, I quickly recognized it.

It's Shen Shiying!

Just two or three years ago,

He had just arrived in Dawancun to start his job when...
He replaced the previous garrison commander of Dawan Village!
"Oh, it's him. Anyway, it's on the way, and we have some connection, so let's go and see him."

With a pinch, the used and discarded communication talisman turned into ashes.

Shen Changchuan pointed in a direction to Xiao Feng.
Fly over there.

A distance of tens of miles,

With the wind's speed, it only took about ten minutes to arrive.

Looking down from high above,
In the winding valley ahead,
A formation of light appeared.
Several tiny figures were hiding within the array's light.
Outside stood a yak demon, several meters tall, like a small mountain, its entire body jet black as if cast from steel, covered in dense, needle-like hair.
With two sharp bull horns on its head, it kept crashing into the formation with its pupils wide open.

Ground shaking,

The array's light barrier dimmed, flickering uncertainly.
It looked like it was about to break apart.

Thanks to the excellent eyesight gained from sharing a field of vision with Xiaofeng, Tongxin Vision...
Shen Changchuan also saw the somewhat familiar figure of Shen Shiying within the array's light screen.

At this moment, the opponent was directly confronted by the bull demon's charge.

His face was filled with panic.

Full of fear.

It seems,
They were traveling when they were attacked by a monster.

Although the protective array was activated in time.
But under the attack of that bull demon, who was at least at the eighth level of strength,

But it was also on the verge of collapse.

"That's not right. Although the yak demon is not easy to deal with, it's not exactly short-tempered. Basically, if you don't provoke it, it won't provoke you either."

Shen Changchuan frowned slightly.
I had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

That seems a bit strange.
However, seeing that the array's light barrier was about to collapse, Shen Changchuan stopped thinking about it.
They simply became slightly more vigilant.
That is, Xiao Feng was sent rushing down towards the valley like an arrow.

When they were still twenty or thirty feet away from the bull demon,
He then unleashed a massive sword shadow, cascading down from the sky like a waterfall, slashing towards the bull demon.

scoff!

Both Xiao Feng and Shen Changchuan's speed, and the speed at which the sword shadows were swung, were too fast.
The aura emanating from that aura was too much for the eighth-level bull demon to process.
It was cleaved in two by the powerful sword light that descended from the sky.

The sword light pierced through the massive, iron-like body of the bull demon, even leaving a deep sword mark several meters long on the ground.
