"You …"
Wei Zhang was furious. This Liu Wuqing really knew how to quibble. Although the Tenryū Temple's Eagle Claw Technique was similar to Hawking's Iron Claw Technique, everyone knew that the Tenryū Temple would never appear in a place like Rivertown. Moreover, if there were monks from the Tenryū Temple in Rivertown, he would have received the news long ago.
However, Liu Wuqing was the Branch Master of Xing Chen Pavilion. If he didn't admit it, Wei Zhang couldn't force him. He squinted his eyes and said coldly, "Pavilion Master Liu, there are some things that we both know. Since you don't admit it, I can only report it to the imperial court. When the Commander comes, I'd like to see if you can still be so stubborn."
After speaking, Wei Zhang sneered and left.
Liu Wuqing looked at Wei Zhang expressionlessly as he left. His mind was filled with thoughts. He had underestimated the reaction this incident would cause. The loss of three Innate Realm Secret Guards wasn't a big loss to the imperial court. However, he didn't expect that it would affect the imperial court's reputation.
The most important thing for a superpower was reputation. Moreover, the imperial court was the ruler of the world. If they didn't retaliate after being slapped in the face by a superpower in the underworld, the imperial court would be laughed at for being incompetent.
However, he had no choice but to report this matter to the Head Pavilion and see what the Head Pavilion would do. In his estimation, the Head Pavilion would not blame him. After all, it was the place where an expert of the Insightful Emptiness Realm passed away.
…
Shenlang and the others returned to the Shen Family. Shenlang couldn't wait to open the scroll and look at it.
Gao Jianli and Xuan Ming Elders also looked at it.
The moment he opened the scroll, the first thing that entered his eyes was a picturesque landscape painting. The mountains and rivers drawn on the scroll were extremely lifelike, just like in his previous life. Most people would think that this was a famous painting.
Shenlang and the others didn't think it was an ordinary landscape painting. After all, Li Danai and the black-clothed man were very excited after seeing it.
Gao Jianli observed it for a while and said thoughtfully, "This painting should be a map, but there are no eye-catching signs except for hills and rivers. I guess this painting is not complete. There should be another painting that matches this one."
Shenlang also nodded and said, "Xiao Gao is right. I guess this painting is not complete."
"Look, here and here."
Shenlang stretched out his finger and pointed at the bottom of the map, where the hills and rivers were broken. If it was a complete painting, that should be the place where the painter put the brush away. It should not be broken so suddenly, so they guessed that the painting was most likely incomplete.
Then, everyone looked at the bottom left corner of the painting. There was a small line of words, which should be the signature of the painter.
"I started practicing martial arts at the age of three, entered the Xiantian Realm at the age of fifteen, and transformed into the Void at the age of thirty. However, I was unable to step into that ethereal Immortal Martial Realm in my entire life."
"Immortal Martial Descends, True Martial Emerges."
"Shatter the void and ascend in broad daylight."
"Regretful, regretful!"
"Zhenren Jiuxiao" Chang Chunzi.
After quietly reading the small line of words, Shenlang and the others were silent for a long time.
This "Zhenren Jiuxiao" Chang Chunzi was definitely a genius.
He could also be called a genius among geniuses. He started practicing martial arts at the age of three, entered the Xiantian Realm at the age of fifteen, and entered the Void Realm at the age of thirty.
In this Zhenwu Continent, Chang Chunzi could be considered famous.
However, even such a talented Chang Chunzi was unable to step into the Immortal Martial Realm in his lifetime. It was unknown whether it was because Chang Qingzi's aptitude was insufficient or because the Immortal Martial Realm was too illusory.
The Zhenwu Continent was divided into five major realms: Houtian, Xiantian, Void, Immortal Martial, and Fragmentation.
Each realm could increase a person's lifespan. Houtian one hundred years, Xiantian one hundred and fifty years, Void Realm three hundred to five hundred years, and legendary Immortal Martial Realm experts could live up to five hundred years or even a thousand years.
Chang Chunzi was such a talented person, yet he could not break into the Immortal Martial Realm in three hundred years. This made Shenlang and the others yearn for the Immortal Martial Realm even more. They really did not know how powerful one would be after entering the Immortal Martial Realm.
Shenlang slowly closed the scroll and said leisurely, "This Chang Chunzi is definitely not a nameless person. We should investigate this person's information."
Then Shenlang ordered, "Qing 'er."
"Go to the Sutra Depository and help me find some books about the strange people of the Zhenwu Continent. I want to investigate some information."
"Yes, Young Master."
Shen Qing replied.
…
Just as Shenlang and the others were sitting in the room and waiting quietly …
A quarrel broke out in front of the Shen Family's Sutra Depository.
"This is Young Master's order. Why can't I go in?" Shen Qing said with a red face.
An old man who was over fifty years old said disdainfully, "What Young Master and Young Master. Without the Great Elder's order, no one can enter the Sutra Depository. Who does Shenlang think he is? He actually sent a maid to take something from the Sutra Depository. He really doesn't know what to do. "
The division of labor in the Shen Family was very clear.
The Shen Family had a total of three Elders, and all three of them were in the Xiantian Realm.
The Great Elder Shen Wen was in charge of the Sutra Depository, the Second Elder Shen Wu was in charge of the Martial Arts Hall, and the Third Elder Shen Xiong was in charge of the Punishment Hall.
Last time, Shenlang seriously injured the grandson of the Great Elder, Shenlang, which made the people in the Great Elder's faction complain. However, Shenlang's backer was Shen Wuming, so they didn't dare to go against Shenlang openly. They could only hold their anger in secret. Moreover, Shenlang lived in seclusion, so they couldn't find a chance to make things difficult for Shenlang.
This time, Shen Qing's arrival made them see an opportunity. The Sutra Depository was under the control of the Great Elder. Of course, the people here were the confidants of the Great Elder. The Sutra Depository was the martial arts library of the Shen Family. Every disciple of the Shen Family had to come here to exchange for martial arts secrets.
They knew that Shenlang was now able to practice martial arts, so he would definitely come to the Sutra Depository to look for martial arts secrets. Immediately, they looked forward to Shenlang's arrival every day and made things difficult for him. Anyway, entering the Sutra Depository required the permission of the Great Elder. They were just doing their job. Even Shen Wuming couldn't say anything.
Shenlang had a conflict with the Great Elder, so it was impossible for him to let Shenlang enter the Sutra Depository so easily. They could see at a glance that Shen Qing's arrival was definitely not approved by the Great Elder.
Immediately, they began to obstruct Shen Qing. At the same time, they used the Great Elder's prestige to flaunt their superiority.
Shen Qing was so angry that her face turned red. This person made things difficult for her in every possible way. Now, he even insulted the Young Master.
"You're already so old. How can you speak so harshly? The Young Master just asked me to go in and look for some strange people in the Zhenwu Continent. It's not a martial arts secret. Why does he need the Great Elder's permission? "Shen Qing said discontentedly.
Shenlang had a very high position in her heart. It could be said that besides her parents, Shenlang was the second most important person in her heart. Shen Qing had never heard that she needed permission to read the history books of the Zhenwu Continent. In addition, this old man was rude to Shenlang. Shen Qing also didn't give him a good face.
The Shen Family's Sutra Depository had a total of three floors. Each floor was guarded. The first floor was basically filled with some information about the Zhenwu Continent and the deeds of various masters. The second floor was filled with martial arts secrets. The third floor was filled with the Shen Family's most precious skills and several Profound Level martial arts techniques.
