Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

Did I let you leave?Shen Wen saw Yao Chen’s spirit body fluctuating and Xiao Yan looking dazed.

He opened his mouth at the opportune moment, gently breaking the slightly stagnant atmosphere: “Since you are old acquaintances, this place is not suitable for conversation.

Venerable Yao, why don’t you bring this young brother and move to my flying boat for a chat?

Coincidentally, my concubine, Cai Lin, still has some loose ends to deal with.”

Yao Chen was, after all, a man who had weathered many storms. Although shocked by Shen Wen’s talent, he quickly regained his composure.

He noticed the dispirited look of his own disciple and understood immediately.

Shen Wen’s appearance was too heavy a blow for Xiao Yan, who had just regained his confidence.

He had fallen from genius to the bottom, suffered countless scornful looks, and endured the humiliation of a broken engagement.

Just when he finally grasped the life-saving straw of the Heavenly Flame, he discovered it was already held by an insurmountable mountain.

This feeling was enough to make any young man disheartened.

He could only sigh softly in his heart, comforting him via soul transmission: “Xiao Yanzi, don’t lose heart.

Even in Central Plains, this Shen Wen is a rare talent; you don’t need to compare yourself to him.”

Xiao Yan suddenly snapped back to reality, pulling his mouth into a bitter arc, and replied via transmission: “Teacher, I understand.

It’s just that the Green Lotus Core Flame was key to our original plan.

Now that hope is lost, for the Three-Year Agreement, do we really have to scheme directly for the Fallen Heart Flame at Jia Nan Academy?

That would be like pulling chestnuts out of the fire.”

“We’ll discuss this later,” Yao Chen said gravely. “Right now, I’m more concerned about why they came to the Jia Ma Empire?

However, since he has this relationship with Elder Lin, they shouldn’t be enemies. Let’s observe the situation first.”

The communication between the master and disciple only took a moment.

At this moment, Shen Wen turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, with a hint of scrutiny, and suddenly spoke with slight surprise: “Young brother, your appearance seems somewhat familiar.

Do you happen to have two older brothers, one named Xiao Ding and one named Xiao Li?”

Xiao Yan was stunned by the question. He looked up at Shen Wen, momentarily unsure how to address him, appearing a little awkward: “S-Senior... you know my brothers?”

Shen Wen gave a carefree smile and waved his hand: “No need to be so formal. Your teacher and I are considered to be from the same lineage. Just call me Brother Shen.

That’s right, I do know Regiment Leaders Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. They helped me quite a bit.

Speaking of which, I owe finding the Green Lotus Core Flame largely to the help of your two brothers.”

“Big Brother and Second Brother helped you find it?”

Xiao Yan repeated the words in a murmur, his body trembling almost imperceptibly, his already pale face losing the last trace of color.

He slowly lowered his head.

Yao Chen was also helpless.

After all, there was nothing he could say. Even he had only heard that the Green Lotus Core Flame was in the Tagor Desert.

Moreover, when it came to natural treasures...

Let alone Shen Wen discovering it in advance, even if someone else had found it, taking it by force wouldn’t be unheard of.

“What about that woman?”

Only then did Shen Wen look at Yun Yun, who was being protected by Dan Chen. Cao Ying glanced at Shen Wen and noticed that his eyes held no strange expression.

“This one...”

“Just call me Yun Zhi,” Yun Yun whispered. She felt like a goldfish placed among a school of sharks.

A Peak Dou Huang at eighteen, a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, and a Pill Tower successor.

And that spirit body, Venerable Yao?

She didn’t know who Venerable Yao was, but since he was a Venerable, he must be a Dou Venerate. She knew that even her Master was in secluded cultivation just to break through to Dou Zong.

However.

When Yun Yun heard that Shen Wen and the others had been to the Tagor Desert, she felt a vague sense of familiarity. She seemed to recall receiving information about that desert from the Jiama Royal Family.

As everyone walked out of the cave, they saw a figure stepping through the air. The next moment, Elder Yao’s expression turned solemn, “It’s a Dou Zong!”

Shen Wen smiled slightly: “Don’t worry, it’s my concubine. Cai Lin, though you should be more familiar with her other name.”

“Medusa.”

“Medusa?!”

Yun Yun cried out involuntarily, noticing everyone’s eyes turn to her. She awkwardly said, “Isn’t Medusa the Queen of the Snake-People Clan?”

“How did she become Mr. Shen’s concubine?”

Cao Ying glanced at Yun Yun, finding her expression strange—fear, confusion, curiosity... “Is there a problem with that?”

Cao Ying countered. Yun Yun couldn’t help but say, “But aren’t the Snake-People Clan and humans blood enemies...”

Shen Wen interrupted Yun Yun, stating calmly, “That’s just you, not me. I am from Central Plains.”

“The blood feud with the Snake-People Clan was started by you. Do you seriously think that every human automatically has a grudge against the Snake-People Clan? At most, she has a feud with the humans of your Northwest region.”

Shen Wen’s words plunged Yun Yun into silence; it seemed he wasn’t wrong.

“So, Virtuous Nephew. What business brings you to the Magical Beast Mountain Range?” Yao Chen felt the atmosphere was strange and glanced at Yun Yun.

This woman’s identity is likely not simple.

Asking a question now would help ease the awkwardness.

“To relocate the Snake-People Clan to the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Just now, I was dealing with the Five Great Kings of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.”

Shen Wen’s words made Yun Yun flare up again: “No, absolutely not! The Snake-People Clan definitely cannot come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range!”

“Why?”

“The Snake-People Clan has a feud with the Jia Ma Empire...” Yun Yun began. Shen Wen merely said indifferently, “Once I’ve finished dealing with things here, I will make the Jiama Royal Family agree.”

“The Cloud Mist Sect won’t agree to that.”

“What does the Cloud Mist Sect’s agreement have to do with me? Don’t think it’s still like Yun Potian’s time.” Shen Wen said calmly, “When the time comes, Cai Lin will take a trip to the Cloud Mist Sect, and they will naturally comply obediently.”

Leaving aside the fact that Yun Shan himself colludes with the Hall of Souls, the Cloud Mist Sect itself isn’t exactly clean.

Take the Mo Family, for instance. If they didn’t have the Cloud Mist Sect’s banner, would they be so arrogant?

Moreover, this is something known internally within the Cloud Mist Sect.

Perhaps only Yun Yun still believes that the Cloud Mist Sect she belongs to is righteous.

“You...”

Yun Yun wanted to say something, but Xiao Yan pulled her back. He also noticed a problem: was this woman perhaps too concerned about the Cloud Mist Sect?

But now was not the time to offend Shen Wen and Cai Lin.

That was a Dou Zong!

Cai Lin descended from the sky without speaking, but she did glance at the injured Yun Yun. The others might not recognize Yun Yun, but how could she not?

However, upon receiving a message from Cao Ying, she slightly raised an eyebrow—this was rather interesting!

“Husband, the matter is settled. We’ll proceed as discussed before.” Cai Lin leaned against Shen Wen. Her enchanting figure made Xiao Yan afraid to look directly.

“They were sensible.”

Shen Wen turned his head to look at Xiao Yan and the others, then suddenly caught sight of Ling Ying. “Who are you?”

Ling Ying remained silent. Did he only notice him now?

“I am here to protect Young Master Xiao, you don’t need to mind me.” Ling Ying vanished from the spot. He had to rush back and report; people from the Pill Tower had actually come here!

“Stop. Did I say you could leave?”

Shen Wen said calmly, and Ling Ying was immediately bound by Spatial Power.

This Spatial Restraint naturally came from Cai Lin.

Cai Lin said, “My Husband didn’t let you leave, yet you try to go?”
