Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

At the same time, Xu Maogong's voice rang out.

"If you insist on leaving, I will not force you to stay."

Xu Maogong's eyes were full of doting affection as he pushed all the treasures toward Shen Nianqing, saying, "You should accept all of these. Cultivating outside is extremely dangerous, and the Shen family cannot protect you, so let these resources protect you."

"You don't need to wrong yourself while you're out there. If you lack resources, treasures, or connections, send them all back to the Shen family. The Shen family will always be your support. Whenever you want to come back, the Shen family's doors will always be open for you."

He could have put these things into a storage bracelet and quietly handed them over to Shen Nianqing.

But he didn't; instead, he gave it away in a high-profile manner.

The point was to tell Chang Wen and Lin Baoding that Shen Nianqing was now the precious darling of the Shen family. If they wanted to do anything to harm her, they should think twice.

Shen Nianqing frowned slightly as she looked at the treasures scattered all over the sky, intending to decline.

Xu Maogong understood her meaning and immediately said, "Nianqing, my Shen family has wronged you too much in the past, and now we only want to make up for it. If you don't take these things, I will feel guilty."

"Then thank you very much, Elder Xu."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nianqing no longer declined and raised her hand to store all the treasures into her personal secret space.

Then he clasped his hands in farewell and boarded the spirit boat.

"Mr. Xu, thank you very much for the Shen family's help this time."

"Senior Shen Jing is currently undergoing her tribulation, so I'll trouble you to look after her. Once she has finished her tribulation, you can inform her of Nian Qing's whereabouts."

After getting ready, Chang Wen and Xu Maogong bowed and said goodbye.

"Of course, take care on your journey."

Xu Maogong returned the greeting with a cupped hand, his gaze sweeping over the group as he solemnly instructed, "The journey to the East is fraught with danger, and the Demon Clan's conspiracy remains unsolved. Please be extremely careful. If you encounter any dire circumstances, please send a message to the Shen family, and I will rush to their aid immediately."

"Then thank you in advance, senior."

Chang Wen nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Baoding.

Lin Baoding understood and immediately steered the spirit boat through the flowing clouds, speeding eastward.

Watching the spirit boat disappear from the scene.

A look of joy appeared on Xu Maogong's aged face. "The crisis of the Shen family's extermination has finally been averted..."

"Um?"

Just as he relaxed his vigilance, he suddenly discovered that a large number of peak Mahayana experts had infiltrated the west, their intentions unknown.

"The Jiang family?"

After determining the other party's identity, he did some quick calculations with his fingers, then frowned, "Interesting, very interesting..."

……

Not long after.

Chang Wen and his companions then flew out of the Shen family's territory.

The Wang family patriarch and Jiang Daolin sensed something and quickly released their divine senses to investigate.

"Uncle Wang, they must have headed east."

Jiang Daolin began to speak.

"Without further ado, let's head east."

The Wang family patriarch immediately set off, declaring, "We absolutely cannot allow them to provoke the East. If the East joins the battle, our Holy Alliance's advantage will be completely wiped out. At that point, killing this demonic disciple will be as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

"Uncle Wang, didn't you say before that this kid possesses power surpassing the half-step Divine Bridge Realm?"

Jiang Daolin was very worried. "What if he kills us both with one sword strike?"

"It's alright, it's just a smokescreen."

The Wang family patriarch remained unconcerned. "I was initially stunned by what I saw, but upon closer inspection, I realized something was amiss. How could a mere twenty-something-year-old possess such power?"

As he said this, a fleeting glint of greed flashed in his eyes.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Chang Wen has power surpassing the half-step Divine Bridge, so what?

He himself was only at the first level of Mahayana Buddhism, far from being a match for me.

If we find the right opportunity, we can snatch the sword from Chang Wen's hand...

Who in these five regions would dare to defy his will in the future?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but increase his flight speed a bit.

"Brother Wang, how is the situation over there?"

Just then, Jiang Zaitian, who was far away in the northern wilderness, sent him a message.

"Brother Jiang, please be patient. I've run into a small problem and am working on it. I'll let you know once I'm done."

Faced with a rare opportunity to potentially control the five domains, why would he transmit real-time information to Jiang Zaitian as he had done before?

Success is achieved in secrecy, failure is caused by leaks!

Once he gets his hands on that sword, all the Holy Alliance and allies will tremble and grovel at his feet!

……

the other side.

Chang Wen has entered the Spirit Boat's independent space to examine the brocade pouch given to him by Fairy Biyou.

Just two lines of text.

[To send Su Xiaoman to the Eastern Immortal Dynasty]

【be careful】

Chang Wen...

Although the words were simple, he instantly understood what Fairy Biyou meant.

"Be careful" means "Be careful!"

After all, Su Xiaoman was tricked into coming to Haoran Peak, and two and a half years have passed since then. One can imagine how furious Emperor Cangxuan must be.

Thinking of this, Chang Wen couldn't help but wonder how to deal with it if Emperor Cangxuan wanted to solve the problem by force.

What if Emperor Cangxuan is also a reclusive master like Shen Pingping? Wouldn't he explode?

With this thought in mind, he went outside the spirit boat and found Su Xiaoman. "Xiaoman, when you see your parents in a few days, you must put in a good word for your senior brother."

"Senior Brother, you don't need to do that. You're so powerful, just beat up my dad directly. Don't hold back for Xiaoman."

Su Xiaoman answered with great confidence.

Chang Wen...

Everyone...

"Nephew, don't panic. I think you're capable."

Lin Baoding turned to Chang Wen and expressed his approval.

Chang Wen...

"If you're not my martial uncle, how can you be sure I can beat him?"

Chang Wen was puzzled.

It's one thing for Su Xiaoman to be young and ignorant, but don't you, sir, know my own limitations?

"If you can't beat someone, learn to take the beating; you'll eventually win."

Lin Baoding didn't even turn his head.

Chang Wen...

"Go for it, senior brother! I believe in you too!"

Just then, Chu Xinghe's voice rang out. It's no exaggeration to say that Chang Wen was the person he admired most in the world.

"You don't need to keep an eye on me."

Chang Wen was quite helpless.

Even if he's incredibly talented, he's only twenty-eight years old. How come everyone here thinks he's invincible?

"Senior Brother, you're a good person in every way, except you're too low-key."

Chu Xinghe got up and went to Chang Wen's side, speaking earnestly.

Chang Wen...

"But while you can be as low-key as you like, I can't be any more low-key."

After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, he turned to look at Lin Baoding, who was piloting the spirit boat, and said, "Uncle Lin, please stop when we enter the Imperial Continent. I need to get off the boat to take care of some things."

Everyone looked at him. What business are you going to the Imperial Continent for?

"Xinghe, what's wrong with you...?"

Lin Baoding was completely bewildered.

"Seeing how capable my fellow disciples are, as the third-in-command of Haoran Peak, I certainly cannot hold them back."

Chu Xinghe remained calm and composed. "I should also go and find my own opportunity."

Everyone...

"Star River, the Imperial Continent is fraught with danger at every turn; it's not a place you can go."

Lin Baoding knew the dangers of the imperial capital and offered his advice tactfully.

"Uncle-Master, please don't try to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up."

Chu Xinghe remained resolute.

Lin Baoding...

He and Xue Wuqing exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

on the one hand.

They didn't want to see Chu Xinghe traveling all over the country; it was too dangerous.

on the other hand.

Chu Xinghe's talent is too good. If he stays in the Haoran Immortal Sect for many years, he will not be able to hone his sharpness through long battles.

Even if they grow up in the future, they will find it difficult to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

There is another aspect.

We're currently working to resolve the predicament in the Northern Wilderness. Could we postpone the matter of Chu Xinghe until the crisis in the Northern Wilderness is resolved?

Based on the above three points, they disagreed with Chu Xinghe going to Dizhou and tried to persuade him otherwise.

However, Chu Xinghe had already made up his mind and would not change it.

After repeated attempts to persuade him failed, Lin Baoding finally made up his mind and said, "Well then, since you insist on going, I will accompany you."

Seeing how motivated these young people were, his heart, which had been dormant for tens of thousands of years, was stirred.

While protecting Chu Xinghe, will he encounter an opportunity that belongs to him?
