"What's the matter? Brother, you know my details. This is our first time in the Dongluo River Cultivation World. We have nothing to do with this second young lady. Brother Li, please don't talk nonsense.
!" Yuwen Zhouyuan said with a helpless smile.
Yu Shengxiang, the second young lady of the Shen family, but Yuwen Zhouyuan didn't recognize her at all, and he didn't expect why she hated him so much.
Yuwen Zhouyuan didn't know it at that time, because he looked too much like the same person. That person looked very similar to Yu Shengxiang's first love. If that person hadn't been dead, Yu Shengxiang would have thought he was him!
How did Yuwen Zhouyuan know all this? If he knew it, he wouldn't know whether he should be happy or sad!
Li Zhanqiang patted Yuwen Zhouyuan on the shoulder, but did not delve into the matter. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked back and forth in the most luxurious banquet hall of the Shen Family Palace. He sighed leisurely: "The Shen Family is really big.
With such magnificence, a wedding banquet cost no less than tens of thousands of spirit stones, dozens of distinguished guests from the Dongluo River realm gathered together, more than a thousand Zhenyuan cultivators, and nearly a hundred real cultivators, and a dignified leader managed the place without thinking about me.
In the past two hundred years, the strength is still less than one-tenth of the Shen family, which is really shameful. It is difficult for casual monks like us to make progress in this world of immortality."
Yuwen Zhouyuan couldn't help but feel sad after hearing this.
In the past few days in the Shen Family Hall, facing the disciples of the big family, Yuwen Zhouyuan also felt a huge pressure and an invisible sense of urgency.
They are both monks in the real-person stage, but family monks and casual cultivators have completely different statuses. Even a monk like Li Zhanqiang, who is at the peak of the real-person stage, without a family, is just an ordinary distinguished guest in the Shen Family Hall, and his salary is not much higher.
Go ahead, casual monks simply cannot compete with disciples from such a big family.
Unless you are a true master cultivator, you cannot become a late-stage true master cultivator in one day. In the eyes of such a big family, you are considered dispensable.
The two of them separately searched the five heavily guarded forbidden areas in the Shen Family Palace, searching for the whereabouts of the Infant Spirit Fruit.
Yuwen Zhouyuan checked two ordinary forbidden areas in the Shen Family Hall and did not detect any abnormal aura.
Yuwen Zhouyuan's eyes were fixed on a house in the deepest part of Shen Family Hall.
That was the deepest part of the Shen Family Palace. When he entered the palace, he could vaguely feel the presence of a majestic and majestic atmosphere there. It was the most dangerous place in the entire Shen Family Palace. No one among the guests in the palace dared to approach.
There.
Yuwen Zhouyuan secretly guessed that it was probably the forbidden place where the ancestor of the true king of the Shen family retreated.
Going there to investigate is no different than seeking death.
But what surprised Yuwen Zhouyuan was that the aura suddenly weakened tonight.
Instead, there were several more real-life monks from the Shen Family Hall, guarding the area.
That place should be the most secret place in the Shen family palace, and it is also the only place that has not been explored.
This made Yuwen Zhouyuan hesitate to take this risk.
Yuwen Zhouyuan was considering whether to explore the deepest part of the Shen Family Palace, when a dim yellow shadow quietly appeared a few feet away from him.
"Brother Yuwen, have you found any spiritual objects over there?" The yellow shadow asked in a low voice.
"The two forbidden areas I checked before were not too tightly guarded. One was an ore warehouse, which stored a lot of ore, and the other was an old storage room where some discarded spiritual weapons were stored. Other than that, nothing was found.
Special spiritual creature, Brother Li, how is the situation over there?" Yuwen Zhouyuan glanced at the yellow shadow and said calmly.
That yellow shadow was none other than Li Zhanqiang, and they split up to search the remaining forbidden areas in the Shen family palace.
They searched two places each, and now they meet here again.
"I didn't find anything there either." Yuwen Zhouyuan nodded slightly, not doubting Li Zhanqiang's words.
If Li Zhanqiang really discovered the Ying Yuan Spirit Fruit, then the first thing he should do is to leave the Shen Family Hall instead of staying here.
"There is only the last forbidden area left in the Shen Family Hall that has not been explored, but there are two real monks here, one more than other places. If you want to bypass their surveillance and enter the forbidden area, I'm afraid it will be difficult. If you alert other people in the hall,
Monk, all your previous efforts have been wasted." Yuwen Zhouyuan carefully looked at the deepest part of the Shen Family Palace, and said with some worry.
It would be easier to get in if there was only one real-life monk guarding it, but if two people went together, he wouldn't be able to do it.
"I'll just take care of these two guards. Brother Yuwen will help me keep an eye on the surrounding area. If there are others approaching here, try to attract them away." Li Zhanqiang looked at the deepest part of the Shen Family Palace, his eyes cold and authentic.
He had been eyeing this place for a long time. It was the retreat place of the ancestor of the Shen family. Like Yuwen Zhouyuan, he did not dare to approach it easily. He waited in the Shen family hall for more than a month, and finally waited until the ancestor of the Shen family went out.
How could he miss such a good opportunity?
...
In the deepest part of the Shen Family Hall, a middle-aged fourth-level monk and a young sixth-level monk were standing guard outside, talking, laughing, and drinking wine.
This is the retreat place of the ancestor of the Shen family. It is one of the forbidden areas of the Shen family palace. However, they all know that the secret room where the ancestor retreats is actually empty. There are no valuable items in it.
Take it with your ancestors.
Therefore, the only role they were sent by Shen Bingnan to guard this place was to prevent casual people from accidentally breaking into the secret room where the ancestor was retreating, so as not to arouse the wrath of the ancestor.
Tonight is the wedding of the young master of the Shen family, and the two monks responsible for their duties are also allowed to have some drinks as an exception.
Suddenly they saw a monk in yellow clothes carrying a wine gourd, humming a tune, and staggering towards them.
"Who is this? This is the forbidden area of the Shen family, leave here immediately!" The two guards immediately became alert, and one of the middle-aged monks asked in a low voice.
But before he could finish his words, the monk in yellow clothes fell to the ground drunkenly with a plop, and he was still talking nonsense in his mouth, which was extremely obscene.
I tried to get up several times, but I seemed a little too drunk. I fell limply on the ground and couldn't get up. In the end, I just fell asleep on the ground, snoring loudly.
"A rotten drunkard is really unlucky. Brother, what do you think we should do?" The young monk stepped forward and kicked him. The monk in yellow clothes made no move. He could only turn around and ask the middle-aged monk.
The middle-aged monk then walked over and took a look at the monk's face. He waved his sleeves to brush away the drunken smell, frowned and said: "It seems that he is a guest who drank too much at the wedding banquet. Take him away and throw him somewhere casually."
Go to the empty house."
The young monk nodded, lifted the fat man in yellow shirt, and threw him farther away.
However, something happened to the drunken monk in yellow. A pink mist suddenly spurted out from under the monk in yellow and sprayed on the two guards.
Both of them were shocked, but the mist was surprisingly weird and penetrated into the body in a very short period of time. Before they even had time to shout out, they fell softly to the ground, and the skin all over their bodies was wet.
A gorgeous red color.
But the yellow-shirted monk jumped up. There was no trace of drunkenness on his fat face, but a bit of pride. With his cultivation level, it was not easy to defeat two real-person monks, but he was able to defeat two real-person monks at once.
If you live there, it will be even harder.
Yuwen Zhouyuan was secretly shocked when he saw Li Zhanqiang knocking the two real-life guards to the ground so neatly.
Yuwen Zhouyuan felt familiar with the smoke used by Li Zhanqiang. He floated out from the darkness and praised: "Brother Li is really a good trick. I wonder what kind of poison this is. It can actually paralyze two real monks at once?"
"This is the paralyzing poison made by the pink enchantress, the sixth-order multi-tailed demon fox's odor, which is extremely rare in the world of immortality. I spent a lot of money to collect such a small gourd, but it is a pity that I will use it all today.
The two of them have been infected. No more gossip, let's go into the secret room. The real monk was hit by the Pink Enchantress and can only be paralyzed for a few hours. We only have two or three hours to search the secret room."
Li Zhanqiang smiled lightly, carried the two Shen family guards who were completely paralyzed, and went straight into the secret room where the ancestor of the Shen family was retreating. He threw the guards in a corner without killing them, and then looked at the secret room.
Yuwen Zhouyuan suddenly walked in with Li Zhanqiang.
Yuwen Zhouyuan remembered one thing. A few years ago, when he was still a Zhenqi monk in Yunzibiao, he was exploring the Lingshi Cave in the No Return Mountain. Senior sister Fang Yu'e who led the team had also been poisoned with symptoms like this, which lasted three times.
He recovered later.
Later, he obtained a red jade bottle magic weapon from a disciple of the Jinshi Sect, which he still has. However, he did not expect that this object would have such a strong paralyzing effect on real monks, which should not be underestimated.
Yuwen Zhouyuan and Li Zhanqiang entered a secret room in the deepest part of the Shen Family Palace.
This secret room is ten feet in size and is made of solid stone slabs one foot wide. It is quite spacious, but empty. Except for a pair of straw mats and a cauldron of incense burners in the middle, there are no other items. This ancestor of the Shen family
The retreat place is surprisingly simple.
Yuwen Zhouyuan took a brief look at the secret room and had to admit that he could not find anything strange in the secret room, let alone the Ying Yuan Spirit Fruit Tree.
However, Yuwen Zhouyuan does not believe that there is really nothing here. If there is really a spiritual fruit tree in the Shen family hall, this ancestor's retreat place is the most suspicious.
Yuwen Zhouyuan repeatedly observed Li Zhanqiang, and found out that Li Zhanqiang's knowledge was very complex, covering everything from magical techniques, mechanisms, formations, etc. If he was looking for something, Li Zhanqiang was better than him.
Sure enough, Li Zhanqiang scanned the secret room, carefully inspected every place, and began to tinker in the secret room.
In less than half a moment, Li Zhanqiang suddenly pressed the mechanism of several stone slabs in the secret room, and the stone wall inside the secret room slowly opened with a creaking sound, revealing a cave.
This is a natural cave, somewhat narrow and can accommodate two or three people. It has a cold and damp atmosphere.
"Although the ancestor of the Shen family has high cultivation level, he is not very good at the art of mechanism! If I am right, the biggest secret of the Shen family palace is in this stone cave. Brother Yuwen, follow me in and take a look.
Let's see." Li Zhanqiang chuckled and walked towards the cave with a smile.
Yuwen Zhouyuan smiled and followed him, but he became vigilant in his heart. At the last moment, the greatest danger came from the smiling leader Li, who was a kind of dragon and snake who had no regard for anything.
The monk who came out of the mixed place fell out of favor faster than flipping through a book. When he found the spiritual fruit, he didn't believe that Leader Li, who always talked about "Brother Yuwen" when he had nothing to do, would show any mercy.
