Xuan Yan was in a coma.
The Xuan family's old house, under the impact of the ice power, was almost destroyed. Only a few complete houses were left. Miss Yuan found a place to shelter from the wind and settled Xuan Yan down.
The Third Young Master Shen sat on the crystal throne, surrounded by his three female disciples. They couldn't help but ask about the details of the god.
"You will know in the future."
Shen Zhenyi smiled at them.
Cynanchum Chinense pouted. This was almost her master's standard answer. As long as he didn't tell them at the right time, he would always say that they would know in the future. Fortunately, they had gradually gotten used to it and were not so curious.
"Now that you have benefited, why don't you hurry to cultivate?"
Just now, the three of them had absorbed a lot of unowned divine power. They could use this opportunity to integrate the divine light and break through the realm. Of course, Shen Zhenyi wouldn't let them waste it.
Zi Ningjun was a man of few words. He had already started to cultivate silently. Princess Long and Cynanchum Chinense quickly followed.
They were very talented. With Shen Zhenyi's guidance, they benefited a lot. After a while, they entered a mysterious state. Their divine light surged, and there was a faint sign of a breakthrough.
Miss Yuan took care of Xuan Yan at the side. She was very envious. She timidly asked Shen Zhenyi, "The Third Prince, we have sent the descendant of the Xuan family back, but there is no one here to entrust him. What should we do next?"
Sending back the bloodline of the Xuan Family was her father's instruction before he died. It was the last task of the Bureau of Thousands of Sages before it closed. Although the process was bizarre, it was finally completed.
She didn't expect it to turn out like this. Miss Yuan was also confused.
What should they do now? Should they just leave Xuan Yan here?
"He doesn't need anyone to take care of him."
Shen Zhenyi looked at Xuan Yan from afar. Although he was in a coma, the child looked calm and didn't seem to be in pain. The integration with the fragment of the god's consciousness had been completed. He had become a master in one leap. His mind had been trained and he was much more mature. He was no longer a child.
— — The process of pulling up seedlings to help them grow may be very painful for the person involved, but at least Xuan Yan was now completely independent.
The Xuan Family's thousand years of scheming, Mister Yuan's arrangement, through a method that none of them could have imagined …
It's done.
"Then we …"
Miss Yuan scratched her head.
"We can leave now that we've received our payment."
Shen Zhenyi smiled calmly.
"Reward?"
Miss Yuan was stunned.
Now that the Xuan family had nothing left, what else could they offer as a reward? She remembered that she had said she wanted to ask Shen Zhenyi for help. She blushed and said, "The Third Prince, don't worry. After we return to the Bureau of Ten Thousand Sages, I will reward you handsomely."
Such a huge risk, no amount of money could make up for it. Speaking of which, this was a disaster that her father had previously agreed to. Miss Yuan sighed inwardly. She had already planned to empty the Wanxian Bureau's assets to compensate the Third Young Master Shen.
Shen Zhenyi laughed and shook his head.
"I've already said that I don't want your Wanxian Bureau's things. Those things were left by your father to help you live in seclusion in the countryside and live a leisurely life. They are not mine. "
He gazed into the distance. The island was in ruins.
"Speaking of which, the reward prepared by the Xuan family shouldn't have been mine. It's just a coincidence. If I don't take it, I'll be harmed instead."
Shen Zhenyi had said it many times, but Xuan Yan and Miss Yuan insisted on him escorting them. Then, after entering the Xuan family's old mansion, he would naturally get what he deserved.
The ground cracked open, revealing a deep flight of stairs that led to an unknown place in the netherworld.
Miss Yuan was dumbfounded.
— — Why does this Third Young Master Shen feel like he's more familiar with the Xuan family than they are?
"Let's go."
Shen Zhenyi looked at the three female disciples who were still cultivating. He helplessly patted the crystal throne and floated down.
Miss Yuan clenched her teeth. She was enlightened and followed closely behind.
What other good things did the Xuan family have besides hiding a god?
It was pitch black underground.
Only the green jade stairs shone in the depths of the darkness, illuminating the path ahead and extending into the invisible front.
In terms of scale, this underground cavern seemed to be much larger than the buildings on the ground.
A thousand years of planning was no small matter.
The Xuan family should also know that when the god descended, thousands of miles would be sealed in ice. It was almost impossible for the buildings on the island to remain. So, the key things were all underground.
This flight of stairs had many forks that could lead to different strata. Shen Zhenyi didn't even look at them. He walked all the way to the deepest part of the cavern.
Miss Yuan was shocked. She stuck closely behind Shen Zhenyi. She heard the sound of water dripping from the stalactites. She was at a loss and didn't know how deep underground they were.
"The Xuan family … is really not simple."
At this time, she finally reacted in a daze.
Xuan Tianwei was definitely not the righteous old man on the surface. He was not a simple city elder. His schemes and planning could even affect the entire past and future of Xuantian City.
What did he want to do?
What did he do?
Miss Yuan tried hard to recall Xuan Tianwei's past, but in fact, it was only superficial deeds — fighting against the Ferocious Beasts, presiding over the project, repairing the city walls, and reorganizing the government.
Who would have thought that the Xuan family had a secret plan of god's descent and had roped in masters like Yuan Shan to work for him? Under the Xuan family's old house, there was such a huge secret project.
This person was like a model symbol. Even close friends might not understand him.
Not to mention Miss Yuan, who had only heard of him.
"Maybe only Father …" She sighed.
She murmured and sighed. Only the omniscient Mister Yuan could possibly know Xuan Tianwei's purpose. They were originally working together. Otherwise, at the last moment, Xuan Yan would not have sought out the fallen Bureau of Ten Thousand Sages.
"We're here."
After walking for a few miles, they finally reached the end of the green jade stairs. At the end of the fluorescent light, a soft white light filled the deepest part of the underground cavern.
In the depths of the underground cavern, a golden key hung.
"What is this?"
Miss Yuan was knowledgeable, but she still couldn't figure out what this golden key was.
But her intuition told her that this thing must be very important.
Otherwise, why would the Xuan family treasure it and hide the key here?
"This is the key to unlocking fate."
"No one would have thought that Xuan Tianwei had hidden this thing for so many years."
Shen Zhenyi frowned slightly. He reached out and prepared to take the key. The fruit and bait that Xuan Tianwei had placed here for so many years. It was about time to pick it.
At this moment, a red light suddenly shot out from the darkness.
Chi!
The sword light was like blood. Without hesitation, it slashed toward Shen Zhenyi's head. The Sword Qi wailed.
The sword light was like an evil spirit that devoured everything. It emitted a scorching red light and a stench, wanting to kill Shen Zhenyi on the spot.
It was full of murderous intent!
