I, a minor character, fell into the Shura field of the heroine and the villain

Fairy Nangong is not in good health and has been sleepy for a long time. She may still be resting, so it's better not to disturb her.

The side room in the same courtyard is where Ji Miaoyan lives.

This time, Zhao Kangping did not see the Sixth Princess. In fact, she was in her room and she also noticed Zhao Kangping's arrival.

But she didn't intend to greet him.

Cultivation is still the most important thing. She has been practicing day and night these days.

Not long ago, she accidentally discovered that Zhao Mengyao's cultivation had reached the late Golden Core stage, which shocked her greatly.

In the previous life, at this point in time, the female devil should have only been in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

She originally thought that she could easily defeat Zhao Mengyao, but now her cultivation level is not as good as hers.

How can this be possible? It must be rolled up.

But even though she took a lot of pills and practiced the skills she had obtained through opportunities in her previous life, her practice speed still couldn't catch up with the other party.

She still had a lot of pills, but she didn't dare take any more. If too much poison accumulated in a short period of time, it might affect her foundation, which would be detrimental to her future cultivation.

Even so, her cultivation level has only reached the third level of the Golden Core, and she is still one step away from the middle stage of the Golden Core.

"How did she practice?" Ji Miaoyan suspected that Zhao Mengyao was cheating, but she had no evidence.

Zhao Kangping stood in the yard outside for a long time. He left on his own initiative without waiting for Aunt Yun to leave.

……

The Shen family of Chuanliu City.

On this day, Shen Qingdong, the second master of the Shen family, was radiant, as if he had something very happy. His face was always filled with a smile that was difficult to conceal.

What made him happy was not that his twelfth concubine gave birth to a boy today.

Rather, the Yantian Sutra he obtained some time ago really improved his physique and aptitude after he practiced it.

A cultivator's aptitude includes spiritual root grade, comprehension, luck, etc. There are methods to change these things, but without exception, they are extremely scarce.

But the cultivation method recorded in this Yantian Sutra has comprehensively improved these. Although he has only been practicing this method for a short time, he has already seen a bright future.

As long as he continues to practice and make a fortune quietly, the Shen family will one day follow his lead.

Now the person in charge of the Shen family is his eldest brother Shen Qingxuan.

Recently, Shen Qingxuan has been in seclusion in order to break through the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and has not appeared in front of his clan members for a long time.

Shen Qingdong also took this opportunity to gain more say in the clan.

There were six brothers in their generation, two of whom died young, and two more died while training outside in the early years.

The only ones left were clan leader Shen Qingxuan and him.

At that time, his elder brother's talent and cultivation were higher than his, so the position of clan leader fell into his hands without any suspense.

But Shen Qingdong never gave up and he kept lurking in secret.

On the surface, he had a good relationship with his brother, but secretly Shen Qingdong had long wanted to replace him.

After walking for a while, he heard someone practicing sword. Judging from the voice, it should be his daughter.

Shen Qingdong has many children, including thirteen sons but only two daughters.

He followed the sound to the training ground and saw a beautiful girl sparring with the servants.

That was his eldest daughter, Shen Lingzhu.

The girl's sword moves were sharp, each one faster than the last.

However, the servants who practiced with her were also quite good, and they neutralized all of Miss Shen's attacks one by one.

Shen Qingdong noticed that his daughter was a little absent-minded and in a state of frustration.

He frowned as he watched.

Suddenly, after Miss Shen missed a forward thrust, she tripped, lost her balance, and was about to fall.

The attendant who was practicing with him was panicked when he saw this scene.

It would be wrong for him to pick up the girl or not.

If he caught Miss Shen, it would be considered as touching her body. This lady might chop off his hand.

If he is allowed to fall, he may also be punished.

Between two evils, he chose to retreat, and still let Miss Shen fall.

Then, Shen Lingzhu really fell to the ground in a dog-eating-shit posture.

The attendants around wanted to laugh, but they all held it back.

Laughing like this might cost them their lives.

Shen Lingzhu was unruly and willful, and would beat or scold them if things didn't go her way.

No one dared to offend this little ancestor.

The girl stood up and was about to cry, but she saw Shen Qingdong walking towards her from the corner of her eye, so she had to stop herself.

When the servants saw Shen Qingdong, they all bowed.

The second master of the Shen family was well-known for his virtue and treated his servants very well, which was in stark contrast to his daughter.

Just as the servants were greeting Shen Qingdong and bowing, the unruly Shen Lingzhu did not bow to her father.

She took this opportunity to walk towards the male guard who had just sparred with her and started punching and kicking him. The latter did not dare to resist at all.

"Lingzhu!" Shen Qingdong shouted loudly.

The girl then slowly stopped.

She turned around and saw her father glaring at her.

"You go down first." Master Shen said to the guard who was beaten.

Then Shen Qingdong said to his daughter, "Why did you go home today? Why don't you practice well in the holy land?"

Shen Lingzhu is now an outer disciple of Ziyang Holy Land, but her talent in the outer sect is unremarkable.

The girl looked away and said sarcastically, "So Dad still remembers that he has a daughter like me. Why don't you continue to practice?"

She has been in a depressed mood ever since she met a man who called himself Zhao Zilong in the city and was taught a lesson by him.

Although the one who was injured was her protector, her face was also lost, which made her feel a lump in her chest that was difficult to express.

Shen Qingdong couldn't help but frown at his daughter, who was giving him so much trouble. "Girl, why are you speaking so harshly? Did someone provoke you?"

"Yeah, too many people have annoyed me. When I was in the Holy Land, everyone was better than me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't catch up."

"Not long ago, I went out to look at jewelry, and I encountered a male cultivator who had no manners at all. Not only did he try to steal a hairpin from me, he also attacked and injured Uncle Liu."

"I've sent many of my servants out to find out about that man called Zhao Zilong. But to no avail. It really makes me mad."

When Zhao Kangping took Aunt Yun to look at jewelry, it was obvious that they were the first to fancy the hairpin, but in the girl's mouth, it was the other party's fault.

I have to say, the little fairy is really good at stirring up trouble.

When she was in the family, she was praised by others, but when she was wronged outside, she still acted like this.

"Zhao Zilong?" Shen Qingdong pondered over the name. Even he had never heard of this person.

Uncle Liu was a priest of the Shen family and Shen Lingzhu's protector. He possessed the strength of a mid-Nascent Soul stage. Anyone who could injure him must be at least at the Nascent Soul stage, or even above.

But how could such a person be unknown?

"Okay, I'll remember this. I will definitely help you find this person." Shen Qingdong guessed that this should be a pseudonym, otherwise with the power of the Shen family, it would be impossible for them to find this person.

He continued, "But no matter what, you must return to the Holy Land. You've finally gained entry, so why waste your time like this? Hurry up and cultivate, or your sister Lingyu will surpass you in cultivation."

Because Shen Lingzhu had lived too smoothly before, he encountered some setbacks in the holy land and wanted to return to his comfort zone.

Shen Lingzhu was disdainful when she heard about her half-sister. She was three years younger than her and her talent was not as good as hers. She entered the Holy Land last year but ended up being just a menial disciple.

"That girl Shen Lingyu wants to surpass me, but she's still a hundred years away." She doesn't like her younger sister. When she was in the family, this younger sister was more obedient than her and knew better how to please the elders.

But in private, that girl was not a good person either. She had caught Shen Lingyu and other peers in the family playing pranks on her several times.

She could lose to anyone but not to Shen Lingyu.

At this moment, a servant came in from outside and reported: "Second Master, the clan leader has come out of seclusion. He wants you to come over for something."

Shen Qingdong suddenly became alert. He felt his right eyelid twitching, which was probably not a good thing.

Chapter 281: How about Aunt Yun becoming your master?

"The He family has completely fallen. Their several seats in the Elders' Council have also been cleared out."

"The Holy Land has determined that the He family is plotting to murder the next City Lord, and the evidence is irrefutable. However, the He family resisted arrest and attempted to resist the law violently, which is an even greater crime."

Shen Qingxuan talked about the He family at an internal family meeting.

In addition to Shen Qingdong, there were several other family elders attending the meeting.

The meeting was to discuss the future of the family.

The downfall of the He family sounded a wake-up call for them.

If they do nothing and just sit there and wait for death, the Shen family's thousand-year foundation will probably be destroyed in a few years.

While the He family and the Shen family were related by marriage, the Shen family's wealth was far greater than the He family's. The five major families actually looked down upon the upstart He family. If it weren't for their shared interests, they wouldn't even have anything to do with the He family.

So when the He family got into trouble, these families did not lend them a helping hand, but instead added insult to injury.

The five major families sent a lot of people to try to gain some benefits from the He family.

As a result, He Weiyuan became so cruel that he dragged many people down with him.

Shen Qingxuan: "The He family is just the beginning. I'm afraid the Holy Lord has already started to deal with us. If we don't want to repeat the same mistakes, we must find a way."

At this time, an elder of the uncle's generation asked, "Does the Grand Elder have any comments?"

But Shen Qingxuan shook his head and said, "We can't count on her. The Grand Elder only came out of seclusion for a short time before, and I'm afraid she can't take care of us now. We can only rely on ourselves."

The Supreme Elder has been in power in the Holy Land for nearly a thousand years. If she had not been injured in the middle of the process, she would never have abdicated early.

She has reached the fusion stage, which is very rare in the world of immortal cultivation today.

It was said that she had been severely injured in a duel with a certain great master of the magical arts. The exact nature of the injury was unknown to the outside world.

But it was most likely that she had damaged her soul, or her cultivation foundation. The injuries she could sustain at her level were definitely not injuries to the skin, flesh, or bones.

If you want to repair the injury of the Supreme Elder, you may have to use some precious natural treasures.

In fact, the holy land also has some treasured caves and places that are specially used to grow spiritual herbs and medicines, but she just happened to not have any that she needed, otherwise she would not have delayed it until now.

Of course, they also hope that the Supreme Elder will recover soon so that justice can be done for these aristocratic families.

Today, the holy land is mainly divided into two factions. One is the aristocratic family faction headed by the Supreme Elder, and the other is the monk faction of humble families and civilians headed by the current Holy Lord.

The confrontation and open and covert struggles between the two factions have a long history and did not start in recent generations.

The people from the Grand Elder's faction have been secretly searching for some precious medicines, hoping to be of some help to the Grand Elder.

Unfortunately, what they waited for was disappointment again and again.

"The people we sent out to investigate have returned with a report. There should be a huge medicine garden within the ancient sect ruins, and it must contain many precious medicines. Perhaps there's something the Grand Elder needs."

"We must strive for more places to participate in the ruins training. This is the top priority. For other things, we can temporarily compromise. The gains and losses at present are only temporary. As long as the future belongs to us, that is the final word."

Shen Qingxuan based his decision on the future of his family and he believed that his decision was wise.

But an elder immediately jumped out and raised an objection: "Clan leader, are you saying that we should temporarily bow to the Holy Lord and his men? If so, how will we explain this to the other clans?"

The five major families form a community of shared interests. They prosper together and suffer together, so they should act in a coordinated manner.

If the Shen family wants to compromise, they should at least discuss it with the other families.

"Yes, yes." Several other uncles also echoed. They were the elders of the clan leader and were all rather stubborn old men.

People from aristocratic families are born into a life of luxury. Relying on their family background, they have better conditions than those monks of humble origins.

This also gave these people a natural sense of superiority. They looked down on those monks from humble or commoner backgrounds. Compromising with them was tantamount to slapping them in the face.

Zhao Kangping came from a family of independent cultivators. His father was a struggling independent cultivator in the market town, and his mother was said to be a fallen genius with little background. In short, his background was not worthy of the attention of these masters.

These big families are not happy that such a lucrative position as the Lord of Chuanliu City has fallen into the hands of this person.
