Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 268: Chapter 186: Southern Border (2)

”That little girl said this Technique can last for four hours!”

Panting heavily, Shen Chonghong looked grim and glanced at the setting sun in the west.

”In about an hour, this damn thing should disappear.”

”I better save my energy.”

”As dusk approaches, there shouldn’t be anyone passing by on this remote forest path...”

Unable to deal with the Golden Rope, Shen Chonghong was thinking of enduring until the Technique wore off to escape, when suddenly he noticed two figures flying through the sky from afar!

Seeing this, he immediately pressed himself against the big tree behind him, closed his eyes, and dared not make a sound, fearing the two figures in the sky might discover him.

However, those two figures in the sky paused briefly after arriving in the area, then headed straight in his direction.

The two landed from the sky. The leading man, wearing gray trousers, a sleeveless vest, with gray hair, and looking robust, glanced at Shen Chonghong tied to the tree, then turned around and angrily glared at the young girl behind him.

He hastily waved his hand to remove the Golden Rope.

Once free, Shen Chonghong hurriedly pulled at his tattered clothes to cover the crooked word ”scoundrel” on his chest, awkwardly bowed his head, and cupped his hands, ”Thank you, senior, for the rescue!”

The burly man spoke with an apologetic tone, ”No need to thank me, young friend.”

”My daughter was mischievous and didn’t know you were from the Shen Family. I apologize for offending you and hope you’ll understand, young friend.”

As he said this, the burly man turned and scolded, ”Aren’t you going to apologize to young friend?!”

The young girl in a red knee-length skirt, showing her white calves, with her head drooping, slowly approached.

”Speak!”

Seeing her approach without speaking, the man frowned, and his voice grew colder.

The girl in the red skirt pouted, seemingly defiant as she raised her head, ”Why should I?!”

”He was the one who flirted with me first!”

”Hey... still arguing!” The man immediately began to scold upon seeing this.

But seeing the girl look aggrieved, on the verge of tears, Shen Chonghong quickly spoke:

”Senior.”

”Let it... let it be, it’s just a misunderstanding.”

”I don’t know which Immortal Sect or Noble Family you belong to, senior?”

It was actually his fault from the start.

Seeing the girl was beautiful and alone, he foolishly made flirtatious remarks.

The burly man let out a sigh of relief and said:

”I am Xiao Yin from the Hundred Refinements Valley, and this is my daughter Hong Xiu.”

Hundred Refinements Valley?

Shen Chonghong had an odd look and asked, ”Where is Hundred Refinements Valley?”

When the Twelve Immortal Sects from Qishan descended upon Yangnao Land, Hundred Refinements Valley was the weakest and most inconspicuous among them.

Although the Hundred Refinements Valley wasn’t strong, it was still an Immortal Sect.

Normally, people would politely say something like, ”Oh, so you’re from Hundred Refinements Valley, I’ve heard of it,” in such situations.

Clearly, Shen Chonghong hadn’t thought of that.

Xiao Yin felt a bit awkward from his question, chuckled dryly, and said, ”Hundred Refinements Valley isn’t well-known. It’s normal for you not to have heard of it, young friend.”

”By the way, young friend, with only Qi Cultivation Third Layer, why are you adventuring in Seven Sages Mountain all alone without an elder to protect you?”

Xiao Yin asked with curiosity.

A few hours ago, his daughter Xiao Hongxiao excitedly came with a Magical Artifact Long Spear and a bundle, saying she encountered a ”reckless” cultivator in the mountains who spoke rudely and teased her.

She subdued him with a Golden Light Lock and gave him a good beating.

Xiao Yin didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was just a clueless Noble Family Cultivator.

When the Twelve Immortal Sects descended upon Yangnao Land, Hundred Refinements Valley might’ve been the weakest, but it still wasn’t something common Noble Family Cultivators could disrespect.

But when he saw the Seal from the bundle Xiao Hongxiao brought, his perspective changed instantly!

The various Immortal Sects and forces in Qishan had witnessed the fall of Hundred Beasts Mountain and were aware of the Shen Family’s connection to the Lingshan Sword Immortal.

After that battle, the Immortal Sects and forces dared not underestimate the Shen Family anymore.

In secret, these Sects and forces instructed their disciples and family members to be cautious if they encountered anyone from the Shen Family, and to avoid provocation if possible.

Upon recognizing the Seal, Xiao Yin immediately brought his daughter over.

Shen Chonghong, of course, wouldn’t tell him he had sneaked out, evasively explaining, ”The family elders wanted me to gain some experience and undergo some trials.”

”I didn’t expect...”

He glanced awkwardly at Xiao Hongxiao, recalling the scene where this young girl humiliated him.

After hearing this, Xiao Yin appeared slightly stunned, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes as he sighed:

”The Shen Family certainly has strict upbringing.”

Because of the existence of the Secret Realm, Seven Sages Mountain had long become a gathering place for cultivators.

The Shen Family actually let a young one with only Qi Cultivation Third Layer come to train alone.

Suppressing his thoughts, Xiao Yin’s hand flashed with light, taking out a silver long spear and a bundle.

”These are your belongings, young friend.”

”As for your steed, Hong Xiu was mischievous and let it loose, it’s unlikely to be found.”

”With night approaching, our Hundred Refinements Valley camp is nearby. Would you like to visit? Tomorrow you can enter the Secret Realm with our disciples.”

Shen Chonghong took back his belongings and Magical Artifact, pondered briefly, then shook his head, ”Thank you for your kind offer, senior, but losing to Miss Hong Xiu made me realize the gap.”

”I won’t be entering the Secret Realm this time.”

”Farewell, senior.”

After bowing to the father and daughter, Shen Chonghong summoned a breeze and flew off into the distance using Wind Manipulation.
