100: This boy will have a transformation like a dragon or snake!

In the Shen Family's deliberation hall, numerous elders sat in rows.

There is a prefecture in Qingyang County called Shanglin Prefecture, and ninety percent of its population are Shen Family disciples.

And these mortals are the most crucial foundation of the Dao Foundation Immortal Clan Shen Family.

Almost every generation of Immortal Seedlings is selected from a vast population base, which can be said to be one in ten thousand.

There can be many martial artists in this world, but Cultivators are few and far between.

There might be many Cultivators, but Immortal Masters are even rarer.

The structure of the top of the pyramid is precisely this cruel.

Among the Shen Family's massive number of Outer Sect Disciples, they are further divided into thirteen branches, so there are a total of thirteen chairs in the deliberation hall.

Unlike other Dao Foundation Immortal Clans, the Shen Family cultivates water and wood, with a gentle nature, thus allowing some weaker elders, and even mortal elders, to enter the inner sanctum.

As for whether they have power... there's no need to elaborate too much.

This world of Immortal Martial Arts is not a mundane one.

"Second Master... what important matter did First Master call us here for today?"

"Exactly, it's been a long time since the deliberation hall was this complete, even all the Immortal Seedlings have arrived?"

"Not only that, I saw many offerings and deacons also rushing over, so it must be some big move?"

The one referred to as Second Master was naturally Second Master Shen, the one Shen Li had traded with.

Second Master Shen's gaze was deep, and he had some guesses in his heart, but he did not speak them aloud; his outward appearance was that of a middle-aged man.

He had no beard on his face and looked somewhat rigid.

"The Family Head will naturally speak of this matter in a moment; you'll know if you wait a bit. If I speak prematurely, what if the Family Head resents me...?"

"Hahahahaha!"

A burst of laughter came from the hall. Everyone present knew very well that although there was competition among the Shen Family's branch families, their overall relationships were maintained very well.

What's more, Second Master Shen, who held most of the administrative power, and the Family Head, who was an Immortal Master, had known each other since childhood... they had always been in a relationship of good teachers and helpful friends.

What else could this be but a joke?

Before the words fell, a helpless sigh was heard.

Shen Bo Shu's figure appeared in the main seat, shaking his head and saying.

"When you say that, you're still blaming me for being too idle and handing over all my burdens to you? You're a big man, is there any need to be so petty?"

Compared to him, Second Master Shen appeared much older, not at all like a younger brother.

Second Master Shen revealed a smile, then laughed heartily.

"It's good that the Family Head knows, but I don't know if he'll find me some helpers."

"Next time for sure...."

Shen Bo Shu looked around, then went straight to the point.

"We're all family, so there's no need for formalities."

"I called you here this time for an important matter."

Everyone held their breath, and then saw Shen Bo Shu calmly say.

"This year's plan to inspect Outer Sect Disciples is to be moved up."

"Not only will our Shen Family move it up, but Qingchi Mountain will also have a corresponding inspection."

"Why is that?"

Some elders did not understand.

Some elders, however, seemed to have guessed something, their faces glowing.

Then Second Master Shen frowned and said.

"Outer Sect Disciples... the inspection, its original intention is to deal with corruption, or matters of collusion with the Demonic Path... after all, those most prone to corruption in the family are those who hold treasures and Spirit Stones, and whose Heart-Natures are most easily swayed."

"It seems that the Yin Nether Sect unrest that occurred in Qingyang County some time ago, and the events at Two Peaks Mountain in Huangfeng Plains, have made Qingchi Mountain wary?"

Shen Bo Shu nodded and said.

"That's right, it is indeed so... now there is a grand event preparing to be held in Huangfeng Plains. This grand event concerns many Immortal Sect Immortal Seedlings below the Dao Foundation, and the location chosen is the unstable Huangfeng Plains... so, taking this opportunity,

the mountain wants to clean house and replace some people, to avoid having their enjoyment disturbed during the viewing ceremony...."

Second Master Shen, however, said with some confusion.

"There are quite a few Immortal Masters in the mountain, aren't there?"

"There are many Immortal Masters, but each has his own use... furthermore, no matter how magnificent a great tree is, it rots from its roots."

"It needs to be constantly pruned and renewed."

"Even if some troubles arise, while they won't cause fundamental damage, the adults are unwilling to be needlessly disgusted."

"Understood."

Seeing this, many elders nodded. Shen Bo Shu then continued.

"You just need to choose your respective locations to go to... you only need to leave evidence with the family's treasures using a recording stone, that's enough."

"Yes!"

By the time everyone looked up, Shen Bo Shu's voice had already disappeared.

Choosing their respective locations, the crowd would not be so foolish.

They would certainly choose the place where their own branch was stationed.

This was a great opportunity to gain some benefits and improve relationships, which they were unwilling to let go of.

So the elders and offerings quickly chose the directions they wanted to go.

But then they found themselves in a difficult situation in Huangfeng Plains.

Everyone knew that Huangfeng Plains was dangerous, and most of the elders were old and had lost their ambition, so they were naturally reluctant to go.

The Ninth Branch Elder was unwilling to see Shen Li, who had voluntarily given up entering the Inner Sect, so he also only chose to go elsewhere.

Seeing this, Second Master Shen shook his head and took this matter upon himself.

To be honest, in the past two years, many people had inquired about Shen Li, and some even sent letters specifically to the Shen Family to ask, seemingly because Shen Li had done many great things.

This aroused a lot of curiosity in his heart; he usually had no opportunity to go out.

This time, he could go and see that little fellow.

If he could help and give some pointers, that would be good... after all, his own branch's descendant also entered the Inner Sect because of him.

At this moment, Shen Yan cupped his hands and asked.

"Second Master... do you think I can go with you to Huangfeng Plains for training?"

"Most of the otherGarrison (garrisoned places) have been peaceful for many years; I have been peaceful for too long, and I want to see a true fierce monster."

Second Master Shen frowned and said.

"Now that news of Shen Li is scarce, and you are also a Cultivator of the Qi Refining Third Layer, some small frictions, you should forget them if you can."

Shen Yan, however, did not take the bait, only saying.

"I just want to experience the desert scenery; it has nothing to do with an Outer Sect Disciple."

"This... as you wish."

"I want to go too!"

"I'm going too!"

Second Master Shen waved his hand and left directly.

Only the crowd with heavy gazes remained.

And Shen Yan's expressionless, inscrutable eyes.

Meanwhile, in Black Ridge City, thousands of miles away, nothing happened at night.

Many foreign Cultivators looked up at the sky, chatting about interesting things.

No sound was heard, but then the grey-robed youth from Shang Gong Hall stood up and looked towards the Black Ridge City Lord.

Afterwards, the Formation Master and the Pill Hall successively stood up.

Then many foreign Cultivators stood up one after another.

In the air, the Spiritual Qi of the shattered Spiritual Vein transformed into a huge pillar of light, pouring down like a whale swallowing.

A crisp sound, yet with a cracking noise, mixed with endless resentful wails, a sword cry suddenly resounded through the heavens and earth.

Everyone's hearts tightened involuntarily, and they looked at each other.

"Forty-seven days, ‘Wuxie’ has been refined."

"The Magical Artifact itself also has the residual will of an Immortal Master; to be so fast, this person must also be an extremely special Immortal Seedling."

"Every three generations, a Lord of Slaughter must emerge. Counting it all up, the Shen Family should also produce a Slaughter Cultivator... perhaps it's this Shen Li?"

"This child... will undergo a Dragon-snake transformation."
