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

Chapter 85 Plot
"This is simply unreasonable!"

"Just because I called you 'Young Master' doesn't mean you're some kind of rich kid!"

"They're just a minor branch of the family, exiled to the margins. If I give you face, you're the eldest young master of the Shen family; if I don't, you're nothing!"

"I'll make sure you come begging to me on your knees someday!"

On the mountain road,
Accompanied by a rumbling sound of the ground shaking,
A group of people were riding horses hurriedly forward.

The leader of the Mutual Aid Alliance was now filled with murderous intent, his eyes burning with rage.

He never expected that...
That brat from Dawan Village named Shen Changchuan actually dared to refuse his invitation.

And without saying a word,
They were "invited" out in front of everyone!

This impolite attitude, as if he were being asked to leave, immediately enraged him.

It should be noted that this was not the first time he had been sent on such an "envoy".

But on every occasion, the people they were sent on missions treated them with utmost respect and humility.

Even if some people are ungrateful and ultimately refuse to join,
They all said the nicest things in a roundabout way, and in the end, the host personally saw them off to the door!

This time, being thrown out like trash was the first time in his life he had ever felt such a humiliation!
Outrageous!

This is absolutely outrageous!

How dare a mere brat at the first, third, or fourth level be so arrogant!
If it weren't for the powerful banner of the Shen family,

He's determined to raze the entire Da Wan Village to the ground today!
He simply couldn't swallow this insult!

"Sixth Master, how about we contact them over there and get them to take action? Once that village is breached, that brat will definitely get a taste of his own medicine!"

at this time,
A trusted confidant galloped forward and whispered firmly in the messenger's ear.

The messenger, known as Sixth Master, narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.

Obviously he was moved.

However, after a few breaths of thought,

He shook his head in the end.

"No, the conflict just started here, and then we were attacked over there."

"Moreover, the forces they used were those directly connected to us."

"This work is too obvious and too crude. If someone with ulterior motives investigates it, it will be troublesome. Even if it is just a minor branch of the Shen family, we cannot be careless."

The messenger, referred to as Sixth Master, was clearly not completely blinded by anger and still retained some rationality.

Although he was also tempted to take revenge.

If they act rashly and someone finds out something, there's no guarantee that another Shen family member with a Nascent Soul Realm sword strike could come from the west and send them all to meet the King of Hell.

After all, the original owners of Dawancun were wiped out.
But not many years have passed yet.

Although outsiders speculated that there was a deeper story behind that incident,
After all, why would a true cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage personally take action against a mere Qi Refining Seventh Level Hu family head?

There's a huge secret hidden in this.

But so what?
Who can be sure?

If we harm this member of the Shen family, will the Shen family's Nascent Soul stage members definitely not retaliate?
They dare not gamble.

I can't afford to gamble.

However,

However, Sixth Master did not directly oppose everything.

But his confidants weren't stupid either.

He quickly grasped the meaning.

"I'm sorry, Sixth Master, I misunderstood."

"The Shen family is powerful and wealthy, and they are certainly not people we can afford to offend."

"However, I think that in another two or three months, as cultivators from outside break in one after another, the surrounding area will definitely start to become chaotic. With that person's cultivation level of only the third or fourth level, it is estimated that he will have a hard time withstanding the impact. Not everyone will be afraid of the name of the Shen family."

"After all, for some unattached rogue cultivators, they can kill someone and then flee far away. No matter how famous the Shen family is, they can't do anything to them, right?"

"But back then, that arrogant brat deserved what he got. This is the cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is inevitable. It has nothing to do with us."

The confidant sounded somewhat excited.

He felt that he understood what Sixth Master meant, so he expressed his thoughts with some guesswork.

Of course, to avoid giving anyone a handle to use against him, he didn't say it explicitly.

Upon hearing this, Sixth Master

He glanced at his trusted confidant beside him and nodded in satisfaction.

"You seem to be a smart person as well."

"Just do what you know. I won't treat you unfairly after it's done."

An excited look immediately appeared on the confidant's face.
His guess was indeed correct.

He then cupped his hands and said:
"I have an urgent matter at home these two months and need to leave for a while. Please grant me permission, Sixth Master."

Go ahead, but be careful.

The team moved on.

The rumbling sound of horses galloping along the mountain road gradually faded into the distance.

However, in Sixth Master's ears at this moment,

Everything has become much lighter.

snort!
A naive newcomer, unaware of the dangers of the world.

Then I'll show you.
What does it mean to use someone else to do your dirty work?
The thought of that village being burned to the ground in the near future would teach that arrogant brat a lesson he would never forget.

His anger dissipated considerably, replaced by a sense of exhilaration.

How delightful!
And what's truly wonderful is...

From this point onward,

They didn't discuss anything in detail.

If anything major happens in the future, and this trusted follower commits a serious mistake that is discovered, that will be his decision.
It has nothing to do with me.

He was a victim too.

Within Dawan Village,

High above, the swift-flying falcons were still circling.
Even though it had been several days without success, it still seemed to be taking its time.

Like a patient hunter, patiently waiting for the opportunity.

It puts immense pressure on people.

Shen Changchuan had no way to deal with this.
We can only pretend it doesn't exist for now.

Anyway, that beast wouldn't dare to fly down easily.

And if the plan succeeds

It won't take more than a few days to resolve this.

No need to worry about it too much.

"They only care about collecting money but not about their obligations; they're really dreaming."

After sending the so-called Mutual Aid Alliance away, Shen Changchuan snorted coldly in his heart.

The Wu family of Wujiaji has two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in charge, and neither of them accepted his money. What kind of organization is your Family Protection Mutual Aid Alliance?

However, Shen Changchuan was very unhappy with this arrogant so-called mutual aid alliance.

However, they did not intend to underestimate it.

The fact that this mutual aid alliance has grown to its current state, and that the Wu family seems to ignore its undermining of their members, suggests that things are not simple.

Judging from the envoy's arrogant attitude today, and the way he was 'invited' out later.

Shen Changchuan didn't think the matter was over yet.

"It looks like that guy will most likely pull some tricks behind the scenes."

"However, for the time being, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"With the Shen family as a powerful force, most established and influential groups would not dare to act rashly. The fact that the so-called envoy did not make a move immediately after I invited him out undoubtedly proves this point."

"Even if they are unwilling, at most they might take advantage of the chaos when cultivators from other places flood in two or three months later, and secretly plot against us."

"But if the plan goes smoothly, I won't need to worry too much in two or three months."

Although Shen Changchuan couldn't hear conversations dozens of miles away,

However, we can also make some guesses about the enemy's possible methods.

However, Shen Changchuan wasn't too worried about this.

Having sufficient strength naturally gives one the confidence to cope with unforeseen events.

Just thinking about this matter,

He also thought of Shen Tingchu, the elder in his clan whom he had met in Wujiaji.

It was also thanks to his swift and decisive crushing of the Hu family, the previous owners of Dawancun, that he was able to achieve this.
Even now, twenty years later, Shen Changchuan is still able to benefit from his legacy.

The Shen family's banner is still quite useful.

Before I grow up
Unless absolutely necessary

We can't just abandon it!

Shen Changchuan's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself.

The fact that the Baojia Mutual Aid Alliance was asked to leave did not cause much of a stir in Dawan Village.

It wasn't just because Shen Changchuan was so highly respected that no one in the entire village dared to disobey him, so that no one questioned his decisions.

Furthermore, the envoy's aggressive demeanor in the hall, his lack of even basic courtesy, clearly showed that he did not respect them or even the Lord.

In Han Qinhu and the others' eyes, Shen Changchuan politely 'invited' the envoy out.
That's already giving them a lot of face!
There's nothing wrong with what you've done.

However, at the same time,

He experienced the scene in the main hall where he was almost suffocated by the opponent's aura at the peak of the sixth level.

But it also stirred up a sense of shame and indignation in their hearts.

Ultimately, their strength was too weak.

They don't even have the confidence to speak!
This also inspired Han Qinhu, Han Dayong, and even the two children, Wang Tieniu and Duan Xiaolei, to work hard in their cultivation and gain greater strength.

Leaving aside the latter three, they are all young, with ambition and potential for further progress, and it is only natural that they should feel ashamed and then strive to improve.

As for Han Qinhu, his original mindset was that he had already lived most of his life, and it was already quite good that he was able to step onto the path of cultivation by taking advantage of his grandson's fame and see the scenery along the way.

I don't actually have much ambition for the path of immortality.

But this experience,

This incident stirred in this man, who was over fifty years old, a rare feeling of youthful exuberance within him.

As the head housekeeper for my own grandson, I must at least not embarrass him again in the future!
This incident secretly sparked a wave of diligent cultivation within Dawan Village.

This was something Shen Changchuan hadn't anticipated.

In the following days,

Shen Changchuan did not leave immediately, but stayed in the village for a few more days.

They also patrolled the surrounding area for dozens of miles several times.

After confirming that the so-called "Protecting Homes and Mutual Aid Alliance" was not up to any tricks, he gave Han Qinhu an order and headed into the deep mountains.

In the past few days,
The Swift Falcon made its move again.

The target is a young, playful child who can't stand staying at home for seven or eight days straight and wants to go out and play.
As a result, the beast in the sky seized the opportunity and swooped down like an arrow.
If Shen Changchuan hadn't been nearby at the time,
This startled the other party into retreat.
This could be another tragedy for Dawancun.

At that moment, the child's parents were prostrate on the ground, holding their child, weeping with gratitude.

Shen Changchuan knew,
It's time to finally deal with that Gale Falcon!
