The battle was very simple. The Shen Family sent out a few people to suppress the Lingyin people. Although everyone was a little surprised, it was within their expectations. The Shen Family's strength had increased by leaps and bounds in the past year. If they couldn't even take down Lingyin, then the Shen Family would really become a joke.
Shenlang came in front of Lin Yuanming and scanned him from head to toe. "Do you have anything else to say?"
Lin Yuanming looked at Shenlang with hatred. He gritted his teeth and said, "Kill me. My father will definitely destroy your Shen Family."
Lin Yuanming was just saying some harsh words. It was impossible for a second-generation rich kid like him to bow down.
Shenlang sighed and shook his head. "You brought this upon yourself."
Bang!!! With a whip kick, Shen Lang instantly sent Lin Yuanming flying.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked dispirited. He just looked at Shenlang with hatred and didn't dare to say another word.
"Take him away." Shenlang walked towards the Shen Family with his hands behind his back. The Xuan Ming elders followed behind him, carrying Lin Yuanming.
This battle had completely destroyed the Shen Family's restaurant. However, the Shen Family could still afford a restaurant. They could just find someone to rebuild it.
Back at the Shen Family, the Sword Saint was sitting in the courtyard. When he saw Shenlang return, he stood up and asked, "Young Master, is everything done?"
Shenlang nodded. "Yes, it's done. Now we just have to wait for Lingyin to make her move."
...
The news spread very quickly. After all, so many people in Forest City had witnessed the battle. It was impossible to hide it. Moreover, Shen Lang didn't want to hide it either. Only by spreading the news would he be able to get the Spirit Hidden Sect to take action. Then, he would be able to target the Spirit Hidden Sect.
Lingyin City, Hidden Spirit Palace.
There were 10 or so people sitting in the massive palace. The Sect Master, Lord Grim, glanced at them and slowly said, "You all know what happened, right? What do you think?"
As soon as the Lord Grim finished speaking, an old man sitting to his left stood up and said with a dark expression, "Sect Master, I will bring people to destroy the Shen Family and save my son."
The Lord Grim looked at him indifferently. "Great Elder, the Shen Family is not so easy to deal with. Even if we destroy the Shen Family, our Lingyin will suffer great losses. Do you want us Lingyin and the Shen Family to suffer losses for your son?"
Lin Xingyun was stunned by the Lord Grim's words. Although he doted on his son very much, he hadn't lost his mind. Therefore, he didn't say anything. He just sat there with an ugly expression and didn't say a word.
Just as everyone was at their wits' end and didn't know what to do, Wuji Zhenren smiled at the Lingyin City and said slowly, "Sect Master, actually, we don't have to do this ourselves."
"Oh?"
The Lord Grim looked at Wuji Zhenren in surprise. "Elder Wuji, do you have a plan?"
Wuji Zhenren smiled mysteriously. "Sect Master, the plan is actually very simple. Aren't the righteous and demonic paths trying to rope us in? We just have to tell them that we'll join whoever can help us solve the Shen Family's problem. I think they'll be happy to do this, right? "
"Moreover, it's said that the Shen Family is a neutral faction. They don't belong to the righteous or demonic paths. Originally, the Shen Family's neutrality made the righteous and demonic paths unhappy. After all, the Shen Family isn't like the Hades. The Hades can stay aloof from worldly affairs and disdain to associate with the righteous and demonic paths, but the Shen Family can't."
Hearing Wuji Zhenren's words, everyone's eyes lit up. Why didn't they think of this plan? This plan was too good. They didn't need the Lingyin to fight to the death with the Shen Family, and they could also establish their prestige. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Lin Xingyun stood up. "Sect Master, leave this matter to me. Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done."
Lord Grim nodded. Although Lin Xingyun's character wasn't very good, he was still very capable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sit in the position of Great Elder.
"Alright, Great Elder, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll wait for your good news."
...
Lin Xingyun didn't disappoint everyone. In just a few days, the matter was settled. The righteous and demonic paths had both agreed to help the Lingyin.
In fact, Lingyin's little tricks had long been seen through by the righteous and demonic paths. They were all giants of their generation. Lingyin's plan seemed very good, but it couldn't be hidden from them.
However, according to Wuji Zhenren's words, the righteous and demonic paths were a little dissatisfied with Shenlang. After Shenlang became famous at a young age, he had always been very high-profile and didn't put others in his eyes. Moreover, he used small tricks and called himself a "righteous hero". He constantly won over the rogue cultivators in Jianghu to develop and strengthen the Shen Family. His ambition was as clear as day.
Moreover, after the alliance between the righteous and demonic paths was established, Shenlang didn't give them any face and didn't join either side. This made them unhappy. Did he really think that Shenlang could reject them just because he was a big shot?
Although it was said that people in high positions had to be broad-minded, it depended on who they were facing. If it was the Hades, they wouldn't say anything. However, the Shen Family wasn't on the same level as them. This made them very uncomfortable.
....
Just as Shenlang was quietly waiting for Lingyin to make a move in the Shen Family, several Taoist priests arrived in Lin City. Two of them were monks.
This group of people attracted the attention of the people in Lin City. Taoist priests and monks were very famous in the Zhenwu Continent. This was because 90% of the Taoist priests and monks were from the three sects and the Tenryū Temple. Even if someone wanted to impersonate them, they wouldn't have the guts to do so.
The few of them looked straight ahead. They held a horsetail whisk and a Buddhist staff in their hands and walked straight to the Shen Family.
When they arrived at the Shen Family's gate, one of the Taoist priests lightly waved his horsetail whisk and said, "Immeasurable Deity, I'm Taoist Priest Qing Mu of the Creation Sect. I'm here to pay my respects to the head of the Shen Family. Please pass on the message."
As long as there wasn't any conflict with the Shen Family on the surface, the people from the Dao Sect and the Tenryū Temple didn't want to fall out with them. After all, they were from the Righteous Dao. They still wanted to save some face.
When the guard of the Shen Family heard the Taoist priest's words, his expression turned solemn. He then said politely, "Taoist priest, please wait for a moment. I'll go and inform the head of the family now."
Not long after, Shen Wuming walked out with a group of guests from the Shen Family. When they arrived at the gate, Shen Wuming bowed and said, "Taoist priests and Divine Monks, please forgive me for not coming out to meet you."
Taoist Priest Qing Mu smiled when he saw that Shen Wuming was so polite. "The head of the Shen Family is too polite. We took the liberty to come here because we have something to discuss."
Shen Wuming's expression changed. However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he extended his hand and invited them, "Please come in."
Taoist Priest Qing Mu nodded and led the crowd to follow Shen Wuming to the Shen Family.
Along the way, they saw that the disciples of the Shen Family were orderly. Even when they saw them, they were only surprised for a moment. No one pointed at them. Taoist Priest Qing Mu and the others secretly nodded. Although the Shen Family was a little arrogant, they did have the capital.
