In a dense forest, Li Maozhen stood quietly. Beside him was a woman in a palace dress. The woman's hair was tied up in a bun. She had a thin face and a gentle temperament. She was about 40 years old.
The woman looked a little haggard, but from her face, one could tell that she was a beautiful woman in the past.
The woman stood there uneasily. She glanced at Li Maozhen from time to time with a hint of uneasiness.
At this moment, a few figures strolled over from afar. The first to arrive was a handsome young man with a noble temperament. The young man held a folding fan in his hand. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he looked confident and calm. He gave off a feeling of a spring breeze.
Behind the young man were a few servants with an extraordinary aura. Among them were a cold-looking martial artist with a sword, a young woman with an indifferent expression, and a middle-aged man with a dignified aura.
Seeing these people from afar, Li Maozhen went up to them. "Greetings, Young Master. I am Li Maozhen."
Shenlang nodded slightly. "Have you brought her here?"
"Replying to Young Master, I've brought it here."
Li Maozhen nodded.
Shenlang looked past Li Maozhen and at the woman in the palace dress.
When he saw the woman, Shenlang's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the woman in the palace dress should be the mother of the original owner of this body, Qin Suzhen.
After Li Maozhen and the others destroyed Qingcheng School, they found Qin Suzhen.
At that time, Qin Suzhen was in a side hall behind Qingcheng School. That side hall was not affected by the battle. Although Qin Suzhen was a little uneasy because of the battle outside, she was still in good spirits.
Qin Suzhen was Lu Hetu's adopted daughter. After she met Shen Wuming by chance, she was brought back by Lu Hetu's men.
After Lu Hetu found out about Qin Suzhen, he was furious and threatened to destroy the Shen Family. However, Qin Suzhen resisted and Lu Hetu did not do anything to the Shen Family. However, Jing Weizhuang was secretly instructed by Lu Hetu to kill Shenlang.
Then, Shen Lie and Ling Yun tried to assassinate Shenlang.
In fact, Shenlang should thank Lu Hetu and the others. Without them, he wouldn't have transmigrated. However, the mistake was that after Shenlang had transmigrated, Shen Lie and the others still didn't give up and continued to assassinate him. They couldn't blame him for killing them.
Lu Hetu's anger was not because Qin Suzhen had pledged her life to someone else.
Instead, he was angry. The Shen Family was not good enough for Qingcheng School, which had affected his plan. Qin Suzhen was the bargaining chip that Lu Hetu was going to use to form a marriage alliance with a powerful family. Although Qingcheng School was not weak, it was much weaker than a powerful family.
From the fact that Hades destroyed Qingcheng School, it could be seen that Qingcheng School was just an ant in the eyes of a powerful family. If Hades' excuse was used by the 21 powerful families, it would be a trivial matter. No one would believe that Hades would dare to cause trouble for the 21 powerful families because of such a trivial matter.
Shenlang would not be stupid enough to let Hades fight to the death with the 21 powerful families. Just like the Blood Demon Sect, Hades and the Blood Demon Sect were already mortal enemies. However, no one started a war first.
Hades was mysterious. No one knew exactly how strong Hades was, so no one dared to act rashly. On the other hand, the Blood Demon Sect had the advantage in terms of foundation. Even if all of Hades' forces were mobilized, they would not be able to defeat the Blood Demon Sect.
Therefore, everything had to wait for the right time. Shenlang already had a plan to deal with the Blood Demon Sect. However, he could not implement it now. However, he believed that this day would not be far away.
It had been more than a month since the Battle of Martial City. The powerful families that had been schemed against by the Blood Demon Sect and Kōshū had not made any moves yet. This meant that this was the calm before the storm. When the storm broke out, it would definitely be earth-shattering.
Therefore, Lu Hetu was furious. If the Shen Family was a force on the same level as Qingcheng School, even if they were slightly weaker, Lu Hetu would not stop them.
No matter what world one was in, one needed strength. With strength, one could even snatch the White Lotus Saintess. If Shenlang were to announce his identity as the Master of Hades, he would not even need to snatch the Saintess. The daughters of the powerful families would come knocking on his door to form a marriage alliance.
Of course, if Shenlang were to be exposed, Hades would be in danger. They would either have to compromise with the powerful families or be hunted down by them.
The Shen Family was looked down upon by Qingcheng School because they were not strong enough.
When it came to Qingcheng School, Shenlang could only say that he was short-sighted. Even if the Shen Family did not rise to prominence like Shenlang, the Shen Family was definitely not as simple as it seemed. Ever since Shenlang found out about the origin of the True Dragon Tactics, he knew that Shen Kun must have some secrets.
Lu Hetu had been saved by Qin Suzhen. However, he did not expect that he would not be able to escape the cycle of karma and perish at the hands of Shenlang.
Qin Suzhen felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when she saw Shenlang.
However, she could not recall where she had seen him before. She had not left Qingcheng School for more than ten years. When Shenlang was just born, she had sent Shenlang back to the Shen Family.
After that, she had been quietly cultivating in the Qingcheng Sect. After seventeen years, even if Shen Lang's eyebrows were somewhat familiar to her, she could not remember.
Shenlang sighed and looked at Qin Suzhen with a complicated expression. He did not know what to do with Qin Suzhen. Qingcheng School had been destroyed, but Qin Suzhen was fine. If she returned safely to the Shen Family, someone might find out something.
However, what should he do if he did not send her back to the Shen Family? Kill her? What a joke. Even if Shenlang had no feelings for Qin Suzhen, he could not do it. This made it difficult for him.
"Are you going to kill me?"
No matter what, Qin Suzhen was from a large sect. Therefore, she was able to see through some things very clearly. Although she did not know the identities of Shen Lang and the others, she guessed that these people should be related to the Underworld.
When Li Maozhen took Qin Suzhen away, he did not use Hades's identity. However, Qin Suzhen could guess something from the simple connection.
Shenlang waved his hand.
Li Maozhen and the others nodded, turned around and walked away.
"Do you know who I am?"
Shenlang said faintly.
Qin Suzhen looked at Shenlang carefully and shook her head. "You look familiar, but I don't know where I have seen you."
"My name is Shenlang."
Hearing Shenlang's words, Qin Suzhen suddenly froze. Her mind was filled with thoughts. A memory that had been sealed in her mind gushed out.
The image of a baby kept flashing in her mind.
"Lang … Lang 'er?"
Qin Suzhen murmured in disbelief.
Qin Suzhen might not have seen Shenlang, but she knew the name of her child from some sources.
"You … you are really Lang 'er?"
Qin Suzhen asked again with uncertainty.
"Shen Wuming is my father."
Shenlang looked at Qin Suzhen and said lightly.
"You are really Lang 'er. Are you okay?"
Qin Suzhen asked excitedly.
Shenlang smiled bitterly. It seemed that no matter in which world, family was respected. After knowing his identity, Qin Suzhen lost her usual calmness.
He was standing right here. How could he not be okay?
