*Tap... Tap... Tap...*
"Hmm?" Shen Haoran, who was checking his son's condition, immediately turned his head towards the sound of footsteps. He then asked the middle-aged woman who had just arrived. "Why did you come here, Shen Shixi?"
"What the hell are you thinking? Why did you send ten of our men to chase after a young man?" Shen Haoran scowled in response to Shen Shixi's question, but he was shocked when she showed ten broken jades. "These are theirs, which means they are dead now."
"Impossible!" Shen Haoran immediately shouted after hearing that. "Their cultivation is at the Earth Realm, and that brat's cultivation is only at the Core Realm, so there's no way he could kill them!"
Instead, Shen Shixi let out a heavy sigh and shook his head at Shen Haoran. "It appears that your interest in Shen Xueyi has made you so stupid! You didn't even investigate Zhang Fei [1]'s background before sending our men to hunt him down, and they died in vain at his hands."
"What do you mean by that? Does a brat with cultivation in the core realm have such a big influence compared to our Shen Clan?" Shen Haoran asked with a dark face.
"Before I came here, I checked Zhang Fei [1]'s background, and he joined our sect on Liu Rong's recommendation." Her answer momentarily surprised Shen Haoran, but Shen Shixi's next words further shocked him. "For your information, he is Liu Hua's husband, and her two nieces, Chu Ying and Chu Qing, are his wives too. Do you think the Liu and Chu clans' influence is inferior to our Shen clan?
They are indeed weaker than us, but their influence in the two regions is slightly greater than that of our clan, especially since they are more active than us in public. Although I don't know for sure about his relationship with Shen Xueyi, she clearly supports him behind his back, and she even gives him some exceptions, such as taking on multiple missions at once.
Besides, I also heard that he has dual-cultivated with several elders, such as Shi Yue, Tang Rou, Xi Zihua, and even Yan Luan'er."
All of this information left Shen Haoran quite shocked, but he found it difficult to believe that a weak cultivator like Zhang Fei [1] could have a relationship with all those people. "How do you know all that?"
"Unlike you, who always think with your lower body, I always think using my brain." Shen Shixi's mockery made Shen Haoran frown even deeper. "I won't explain to you how I got all the information, especially since the walls have ears too, so I don't want Shen Xueyi and the others to know about my secret.
I've told you the truth, so it's up to you whether you want to believe me or not, but you're the one who will suffer loss if you do not believe me."
Following that, Shen Shixi swiftly departed, leaving Shen Haoran in a contemplative state. 'Even if that brat had a relationship with those two clans, their people couldn't possibly help him kill my people, especially since none of them, including Liu Qingyu, were equal to them.
As for Liu Hua, she is indeed more talented than her sister and brother, but she previously fell into Pang Hong's hands, so I believe her cultivation would not be able to rise that high. Liu Rong and Liu Ming should already be in the demon cave, making it impossible for them to protect him.'
After he pondered for some time, Shen Haoran left the medical hall and returned to the tower, and he immediately sent one of his trusted men, who was also an elder of the Shen Clan, to chase after Zhang Fei [1].

Meanwhile, Shen Xueyi and Shen Yang were standing side by side by a room's window when he asked his cousin a question. "Did you intentionally reveal all that information for Shen Shixi to know?"
"Yes." Shen Xueyi answered with a nod. "For all these years, Shen Shixi always believed that I was unaware of her actions. However, I have been closely monitoring her and those close to Shen Haoran, and I knew that he would be even more eager to kill Zhang Fei [1] once he learned about his background, so I deliberately asked Min Rean and the others not to cover up anything."
"I see." Shen Yang nodded in understanding. "Now ten of them are dead in Zhang Fei [1]'s hands, and Shen Haoran has decided to send Shen Kuo to chase him, but I'm sure he won't be a big problem for him, especially since his bloodline is higher than ours.
Anyway, Shen Hai and Shen Shou have come out of their seclusion, and the others will be out soon, but I've told them to hold back for the time being."
"That's good." Shen Xueyi then turned to Shen Yang. "I want you to chase after Shen Kuo and capture him, but you better not kill him and lock him up in that place for the time being."
"Oh?" Shen Yang was a little surprised by Shen Xueyi's request. "At first, I thought you wanted to let him die at Zhang Fei's hands [1], but you want to capture him now."
Shen Xueyi let out a soft sigh before responding to him. "Honestly, I don't know much about Zhang Fei [1]'s abilities, but he was able to kill those 10 people in a short time. That's why I think he might have a unique ability, and Shen Kuo might be useful to him, so I want you to capture him."
"All right, I'll go now."
Shen Yang immediately caught Shen Kuo, who suddenly fell to the ground after his strength was sealed. "In the sect, I couldn't do anything to you, but you've fallen into my hands now. However, you shouldn't worry because my cousin doesn't want to kill you yet, especially since you're still useful to someone, so I'll take you to that place for the time being."
"You-"
Without giving Shen Kuo a chance to speak, Shen Yang knocked him unconscious and immediately took him to the place he had previously mentioned.

Nothing significant occurred after that day, but Shen Haoran's panic over Shen Kuo's disappearance led him to believe the veracity of Shen Shixi's information. In addition, he also got news from Zhiyu Fengzhi that his son, Shen Tianyu, had woken up from his abnormal condition.
However, Shen Tianyu's condition was not good, especially since his previous abnormal condition left a worse sequela for him, and his cultivation regressed by one minor stage due to the backlash of his condition, which frustrated him, especially since his cultivation had almost broken through. the Earth Realm.
Shen Tianyu's condition also affected Shen Haoran, causing him to forget his intention to hunt down Zhang Fei [1]. Instead, he focused on helping his son restore his cultivation, and he also ordered some of his loyalists to find the mastermind behind his son's misfortune as soon as possible.

Imperceptibly, another two weeks had passed in the Sky Jade Realm, and Zhang Fei was preparing to break through to the Soul Realm inside the training space. In fact, he should have broken through a week ago, but he was too focused on his training, so he postponed his breakthrough.
Even so, Zhang Fei's decision was not in vain, especially since he had been able to fully adapt to the level three gravity feature, which was eight times heavier than the outside world.
Some of his women have also managed to adapt, but some are still unable to do so, particularly due to their low cultivation and physical strength compared to the others.
Liu Hua, Liu Qingyu, Shen Yu, and Boitata sat cross-legged around Zhang Fei. They prepared to help him if he faced difficulty doing so, especially since forming a cultivation soul is more difficult than forming a cultivation core.
