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

Chapter 641 Difficulties abound
Shen Changchuan, now completely transformed, stood in an inconspicuous corner of Tiannan City.
His gaze was fixed on the direction of the Shen family's ancestral land, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

In that direction,
A curtain of light rose up.

It covers the entire ancestral land of the Shen family, making it difficult for outsiders to see inside.

According to the people in the surrounding towns,

The incident at the Shen family ancestral land occurred half a month ago.
Moreover, ever since that array of light enveloped the entire Shen clan territory, no Shen clan members have been allowed to enter or leave.

Only a few unfamiliar, arrogant cultivators from other places left the Shen family's territory to trade in the city's market.

Furthermore, the properties in the city that originally belonged to the Shen family were also taken over by those outsiders.

This level of change,
It inevitably brings to mind things like a coup d'état.

As a result, the atmosphere throughout Tiannan City became somewhat oppressive.

The loud noises that I used to remember in the streets and alleys have gradually become quiet.

after all,

There are rumors circulating privately,

Those who control and take over the interests of the various shops owned by the Shen family are members of the Zhou family behind the first wife of the Shen family.

The First Madam's reputation outside the home is not very good.

If any gossip were to spread and be heard by that petty and wicked woman, wouldn't that bring disaster upon herself?
Even the usually outspoken loudspeaker,

They all had no choice but to keep quiet and seal their mouths shut.

of course,

I dare not say it openly.

But in private...

Many people are discussing it enthusiastically.

As a result, there were undercurrents running through the entire vast underground market of Tiannan City.

"Was the Shen family wiped out by the Zhou family?"

"Or is there some other reason?"

The transformed Shen Changchuan gazed in the direction of the Shen family's territory, muttering to himself, his gaze shifting uncertainly.

Since entering Tiannan City, he has gathered a considerable amount of information and intelligence from various sources.

But this intelligence did not give him a clearer understanding of the current situation.
Instead, they became even more confused.

Based on his understanding of the market situation,
The current state of the Shen family is no different from being completely taken over by the Zhou family from Zhongzhou!
Currently, all members of the Shen family are imprisoned in their ancestral land and are not allowed to leave.

The shops in various locations that originally belonged to the Shen family were taken over.

The rest of the people were summoned to the clan's territory and placed under guard.

All these phenomena
What's the difference between being captured and being held prisoner?

No!

Shen Changchuan's expression was unpredictable, shifting between light and dark.

"According to some rumors circulating in the city, a major battle actually broke out within the Shen family territory when the array light screen rose half a month ago."

"Although the shockwaves from that great battle were blocked by the array's light barrier, outsiders guessed from the sheer force of the battle that it must have been a battle at the Divine Ascension Realm level!"

"If I'm not mistaken, one of them should be the Ancestor!"

"Judging from the current situation, it seems the Zhou family is planning something, such as swallowing up the entire Shen family. The patriarch and others disagreed and resisted. Based on the current situation, it appears the patriarch and others have failed."

Shen Changchuan sorted through the information and intelligence he had collected over this period of time, pondering to himself.

Saving lives is one thing,
But there are methods to saving lives.

Shen Changchuan wouldn't be like those ambitious youngsters who rush forward recklessly.

at least,

We need to understand the situation first. However,

The more Shen Changchuan learned about the situation, the more troubled he became.

"So, there must be some members of the Zhou family at the Divine Ascension Realm!"

"Furthermore, his strength is far superior to that of the Ancestor; otherwise, he could not have suppressed the Ancestor and calmed down the shockwaves of that battle in such a short time!"

"Is that the middle, late, or peak stage of the Divine Travel Realm?"

Shen Changchuan frowned deeply.

Although with the methods he currently possesses, he might be able to kill a cultivator in the early stage of the Divine Travel Realm.

but,
If it's the mid-term or even the late-term,
That might not be so easy.

The advancement to the Divine Travel Realm is not merely a transformation and improvement in magical power and divine consciousness.

That was a leap in overall strength.
It's like a leap in one's level of life!
That level of existence
If it weren't for the superhuman power of spatial manipulation, I probably wouldn't even have a one-in-tenth or one-twentieth chance of challenging or even killing someone of a higher level!
at the moment,

The Zhou family's Divine Travel Realm expert,

Clearly, their strength was somewhat beyond what he could handle!
after all,

The strength of the Shen family patriarch should not be underestimated.

Although Shen Changchuan was unaware of the true realm of his family's ancestor, he had been in the Divine Travel Realm for at least two hundred years, and should have been able to raise his cultivation to the peak of the early stage of the Divine Travel Realm.

And those who can easily suppress such beings
Our strength will only grow stronger!

How should we deal with such an enemy?

How can he rescue the person?
For a time,

Shen Changchuan is in a predicament.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Let's gather as much information as possible first!"

"Although the Zhou family is powerful now, there should be forces in the black market that are not afraid of them, and we can obtain some useful information from them."

"Furthermore, I should try my best to find some former employees of the Shen family and learn about the current situation of the Shen family's territory."

With almost all intelligence at the front lines unknown,
Shen Changchuan didn't dare to act rashly and try to attack the Shen family's territory.

We can only try to collect information.

Let's see if we can find some loopholes.

Thinking of this,

Shen Changchuan's figure disappeared quietly.

In the following days,

After changing his appearance, Shen Changchuan began to appear in the black market and contacted major trading companies and lurking intelligence organizations through some irregular channels.

Shen Changchuan's efforts were not wasted.
After paying a price, he also obtained some useful information.

such as,

A recent map of the Shen family's ancestral lands.

For example,
The one who suppressed the Shen family patriarch that day was Zhou Tianhai, a high-ranking elder from the Zhou family of Zhongzhou, whose cultivation level was at the peak of the Divine Travel Realm!

and,

Shen Changchuan spent a considerable amount of money to learn from intelligence organizations in the black market that...

As early as ten or twenty years ago, Zhou Tianhai had already come to Tiannan City, secretly plotting something unknown.

It seems to be related to the Xiangshan Sect three hundred years ago, as well as the Ancient Moon Divine Dynasty.

I just don't know why,
Their plan seems to have failed, and Zhou Tianhai's "madness" in taking down his allies is likely related to the failure of their plan!
"Is it related to the Xiangshan Sect and the Ancient Moon Divine Dynasty? What is the relationship between them?"

During the intelligence gathering process, some secrets were unexpectedly discovered.
This naturally piqued Shen Changchuan's curiosity.
