"Hmm?"
Just as he thought Shen Chongxuan and many Shen Clan Members had been unlucky enough to be killed by the power scattered from the small tree he absorbed, he suddenly sensed the commotion of cultivators battling in the forest hundreds of miles away!
Amidst the battling aura, there was a distinct presence of Vast Righteous Qi belonging to a Literary Dao Cultivator.
Without any hesitation, Shen Wen’an immediately transformed into a Sword Aura and flew towards the forest.
...
"What kind of cultivation system is this, how can it be so bizarre!?"
In the dense forest, dozens of sect cultivators in monk robes were besieging the disheveled Shen Chongxuan.
On the surrounding open ground, those Shen Family Cultivators who followed Shen Chongxuan to guard the place had now turned into cold corpses, dying tragically on the spot.
One of the sect cultivators among them advanced, attempting to rely on Body Skill to capture Shen Chongxuan, but was forced back by his exquisite Sword Skill, and couldn’t help but curse angrily.
These people were originally ordered to capture Shen Chongxuan.
The group’s cultivation levels were generally in the Late Stage of Void Observation, with one in the Perfection Realm.
As a follower of the Great Brightness Mirror, Hong Xiu, after hastily leading many Jianan Temple sect cultivators to Yangnao Land, used the force of karma to forcibly deduce the whereabouts of many Shen family juniors, intending to learn from Hong Ye and capture a Shen family younger generation member to bring back to plant the Nine-leaf Bodhi.
But Hong Xiu only deduced that Shen Chongxuan was in Huaisang, without knowing the exact location.
The dozen sect cultivators here had been searching in the vast mountains of Huaisang County for days.
Today, by chance, they felt the terrifying wave that erupted when Shen Wen’an absorbed the Spirit from the small tree, intending to see what had happened, unexpectedly encountering Shen Chongxuan and others being forced into this place.
The moment they met, the Shen family’s Qi Cultivation Realm Cultivators were easily slaughtered by the opposing side.
The reason Shen Chongxuan, with the Three Apertures of the Literary Heart, managed to persist until now was mainly because the sect cultivators knew his identity and dared not kill him.
On the other hand, it was also because his second Lifebound Character was "defend."
The Divine Spirit unextinguished, stubbornly defending without retreat.
Relying on this Lifebound Character and his exquisite Sword Skill, Shen Chongxuan stubbornly endured the attacks from over a dozen sect cultivators of the same Realm, both fighting and retreating, trying to lure this group of sect cultivators away from the cave.
The reason for this was two-fold: fearing this group of Jianan Temple bald donkeys would discover the cave, and fearing they would disturb Third Uncle Shen Wen’an.
Covered by the light shield formed by the second Lifebound Character, Shen Chongxuan’s face was as pale as gold paper, and the Power of the Divine Soul was on the verge of exhaustion.
And the Literary Heart within his body was like a porcelain piece covered with cracks, on the verge of shattering completely.
"Senior Brother, the aura of this person’s Divine Spirit is already almost indiscernible. If we continue to attack, we’re afraid we can only bring his corpse back to account!"
One sect cultivator discovered Shen Chongxuan’s condition and immediately stopped the attack and said.
Upon hearing this, the other sect cultivators also dared not rashly make a move, fearing they would kill Shen Chongxuan.
The leader of the Perfection Realm sect cultivators saw this, furrowed his brows.
"The World Honored One specifically instructed us to bring him back alive."
"But this defensive Secret Skill of his is indeed tricky, being intertwined with the Divine Spirit."
Capture me alive?
Shen Chongxuan, nearly exhausted, suddenly thought of his brother Shen Chongxu upon hearing this.
"Was my brother Chongxu also captured by you bald donkeys?"
He immediately questioned sharply.
The Perfection Realm sect cultivator leading saw him taking the initiative to speak, eyes flashing with a hint of cunning, then smiled and said, "Your brother is indeed a guest at our Jianan Temple."
"Doesn’t the friend want to meet him?"
"As long as the friend accompanies us to visit, our Jianan Temple will surely..."
"So it was you who captured people from my Shen Family."
Before the sect cultivator could finish, an icy voice suddenly emerged!
With the icy voice reverberating, the Perfection Realm sect cultivator suddenly felt something rapidly growing within his body!
Before he could inspect carefully, a lush green Sword Intent Cyan Lotus suddenly burst out from his body!
As the lotus blossomed, terrifying Sword Intent Sword Qi instantly shredded all sect cultivators present!
This sudden scene made Shen Chongxuan a bit stunned, and he immediately realized it was Third Uncle’s handiwork.
He staggered to turn around, and sure enough saw a streak of Sword Light flying in, transforming into Shen Wen’an’s figure.
"Third Uncle..."
"Don’t speak yet!"
Seeing his body and Divine Spirit nearly collapsing, Shen Wen’an’s expression was solemn. He immediately drove the small tree in the Sea of Consciousness, injecting a concentrated stream of Power of Life into Shen Chongxuan’s body!
With this Power of Life surging into his body, Shen Chongxuan suddenly felt his flesh, Divine Spirit, and Literary Heart as if reborn!
The extreme comfort made him involuntarily hum lightly.
Within a few breaths, this pure Power of Life forcibly dragged him back from the gates of death.
After stabilizing his injuries, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Third Uncle."
Shen Wen’an said nothing, grabbed his wrist, checked carefully to ensure the injury would not leave after-effects, and finally relaxed, saying, "Were these sect cultivators specifically here to capture you?"
Shen Chongxuan nodded.
"Nephew suspects Chongxu has also been taken by them."
"These bald donkeys aim to capture me alive, there must be an ulterior motive behind it."
Shen Wen’an glanced at the sect cultivators turned into scattered flesh, then waved to gather their Storage Bags and Magical Treasures.
"Bring back the clansmen’s corpses."
"This grudge with Jianan Temple will be settled later."
With a flash of cold killing intent in his eyes, Shen Wen’an said each word with a steely voice.
