The Blessed Land.
A corner of it cracked open, and a stream of light flew out and hovered in the air.
The light dissipated, revealing a tall figure.
Sensing the rich spiritual essence around him, Shan Wenqi couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
“There’s so much spiritual essence here. The Great Swamp of the West is so desolate that even spiritual essence is scarce!”
Just as he was sighing, a flying ship suddenly flew over from afar.
More than ten people jumped down from the flying ship and ran up to Shan Wenqi like a swarm of bees.
“Senior Brother Shan, you’re back!”
“Senior Brother Shan, on this trip to the Great Swamp of the West, did you find the Abyss Black Sand?”
“Is there a need to ask? If Senior Brother Shan takes action, everything will be easy!”
“You’re right!”
Everyone was talking at once.
Shan Wenqi only looked on with a reserved smile and didn’t interrupt.
A moment later, an older young man raised his hand and interrupted everyone.
“Alright, everyone, behave yourselves. Don’t disturb Senior Brother Shan!”
After everyone fell silent, the young man looked at Shan Wenqi and cupped his hands with a smile.
“Senior Brother Shan, Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Tang have already set up a banquet on Flying Eave Island to welcome you!”
“They’re very considerate.”
Shan Wenqi laughed and cupped his hands.
“Thank you for coming to welcome me, Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters. However, I still have to go to the Merit Hall. After I settle the matters there, I’ll immediately go to Flying Eave Island. I’ll make it up to you to wait!”
As soon as he said this, everyone fell into a strange silence.
Everyone, including the young man who spoke at the beginning, looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing this, Shan Wenqi was puzzled.
“What happened?”
The young man coughed slightly and asked, “Senior Brother Shan, are you going to the Merit Hall for Goldstream Isle?”
Shan Wenqi nodded slightly. “That’s right. I’ve made an appointment with Deacon Chu. We agreed that when I returned from the Great Swamp of the West, he would hand over Goldstream Isle’s token. I’ve planned to invite Brother Li and the others to a banquet on Goldstream Isle, but who would have thought that they would beat me to it?”
The young man smiled bitterly and said, “Senior Brother Shan, I have to tell you something. A month ago, Hall Master Xia brought his Junior Brother Lin Shen to the Merit Hall and forcefully took Goldstream Isle from Deacon Chu. The island is Lin Shen’s cultivation Cave Abode now!”
“What?!”
Shan Wenqi was shocked and furious.
He had to pull so many strings and put in so much effort to defeat countless disciples of influential families who coveted Goldstream Isle before finally obtaining it. This cultivation Cave Abode was already in his pocket, but someone actually dared to s.n.a.t.c.h it from him.
Shan Wenqi was infuriated, but then he suddenly realized something.
“Hall Master Xia? As in Xia Mengran from the Martial Enforcement Hall?”
“That’s right. It’s her!”
“Since when did Xia Mengran have a junior brother?”
Shan Wenqi was puzzled. Ever since Su Liuying betrayed the sect, didn’t Master Yu only have Xia Mengran as her direct disciple?
Where did this new direct disciple come from?
The young man quickly told Shan Wenqi about what happened in the two months he had been away.
Hearing this, Shan Wenqi was stunned on the spot and didn’t speak for a long time.
The first first-grade spirit meridian cultivator master of Nine Suns Sect?
He had only left the sect for more than a month, but someone had already forged the legendary first-grade spirit meridian?
Furthermore, the person who forged it was a disciple of the Nine Yang Academy?
These people didn’t look like they were lying, and Shan Wenqi was certain that they wouldn’t deceive him with such a thing. Otherwise, he would almost think that this was a joke!
When he came back to his senses, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath. His heart was in turmoil.
As a disciple of influential families, Shan Wenqi naturally knew what a first-grade spirit meridian represented.
He had only condensed 33 spirit meridians and was still a distance away from a second-grade spirit meridian. Even so, he was already considered to have a bright future, not to mention a first-grade spirit meridian with 45 spirit meridians!
That person would definitely reach the Reverse Elixir Stage in the future!
“I heard that Elder Zhao even extended an olive branch to Lin Shen and wanted to take him in as a disciple, but Lin Shen rejected it and joined Master Yu instead,” the young man continued.
Shan Wenqi frowned when he heard that. His eyes flickered for a moment before he took out a letter and wrote something on it with spiritual essence and handed it to the young man.
“Junior Brother Sun, please make a trip to Goldstream Isle for me. Ask Lin Shen to move out of Goldstream Isle within three days. If he doesn’t agree, give him this letter of challenge!”
Sun Linmao was shocked.
A letter of challenge?
He was going to fall out with Lin Shen!
It didn’t take a genius to know that it was impossible for Lin Shen to give up on the good cultivation Cave Abode that he had obtained just because of a letter from Shan Wenqi. He would definitely accept the challenge and choose a day for the battle. What was the difference between this and falling out?
Thinking of this, Sun Linmao couldn’t help but hesitate and whispered,
“Senior Brother Shan, Lin Shen is the direct disciple of Master Yu. Hall Master Xia is also on his side. It’s not a wise choice to have a conflict with him.”
Shan Wenqi frowned and glanced at Sun Linmao. He shook his head and said,
“Junior Brother Sun, you’re too cautious. This is a battle between Lin Shen and me. How can someone as high and mighty as Master Yu interfere?”
“What about Hall Master Xia…”
“No matter how domineering Xia Mengran is, she won’t interfere in the compet.i.tion between the juniors. Otherwise, wouldn’t she be embarra.s.sing the Fallen Sword Peak?”
If it were really down to their connections, Shan Wenqi wasn’t afraid either.
He had the support of the Shan Family, one of the five prestigious families. He wasn’t afraid of Master Yu and Xia Mengran!
In fact, if it were any other time, Shan Wenqi would most likely choose to take a step back and not fall out with Lin Shen.
After all, that was a first-grade spirit meridian!
