Chapter 795: Chapter 98: Leaving Home Young, Returning Old! (Part 2)

The three of them made their plans and then each went their separate ways!

...

At the same time, in the Land of Fengyuan, thousands of miles away from Wangchuan Lake,

on this day, a ripple suddenly appeared in a part of the sky, followed by the abrupt appearance of a man in scholarly robes, with a square face, appearing to be in his forties.

Beside him stood a tall, resolute young man, none other than Shan Xionghai!

"Thank you for seeing me off, Junior Martial Uncle Jiang!"

Shan Xionghai cupped his hands in thanks!

"I have a deep friendship with your master, so this is but a small matter!"

"Besides, your presence here can help me with something,"

"Now in the various parts of the Eastern Wilderness, the Ghost Realm fissures have torn open again, and many Ghost Realm mists are spreading out,"

"As I must guard the Ghost Realm passage and cannot handle it, I am entrusting this matter to you!" the middle-aged man said slowly.

Saying this, he took out a golden talisman and handed it over:

"If anything unexpected happens, you can tear this talisman, and I will come immediately once I sense it!"

"Thank you, Martial Uncle!" Shan Xionghai did not refuse,

The middle-aged man nodded, his figure flickered, and the next moment he was nowhere to be seen.

Shan Xionghai looked into the distance,

Back then, he had left the Eastern Wilderness following Master Yun Ku, and now, two hundred years later, he had finally returned!

He then identified the direction of Red Leaf Square and tread the air towards it.

Half a month later,

he finally arrived at Red Leaf Square once more.

Seeing the unfamiliar scene before him, he couldn’t help but be stunned,

"Is this... still Red Leaf Square?" But looking at those three large characters at the entrance of the market, it was undoubtedly ’Red Leaf Square’.

He did not know that there had been a Beast Tide in the entire Xui Country afterward, and then most of Xui Country had fallen, and Red Leaf Square was also destroyed,

The current scene was that of a rebuilt place,

Which was why it did not match his memories.

He then went to the location of his home, which had now been replaced by a bustling tavern.

The original courtyard, the jujube tree that existed since his childhood, and the dried-up old well under the tree, had all disappeared!

"Things have changed, people have changed!"

Shan Xionghai sighed,

He then spread out his Divine Sense, seeing that the underground secret chamber several feet deep still existed,

His figure flickered, and the next moment he appeared in the secret chamber,

This secret chamber was where the Shan Family stored some valuable items, such as unsold Demon Beast materials, various instruments and treasures for hunting Demon Beasts, etc.

Now it was empty, with only a few wooden shelves around still intact,

Covered with a thick layer of dust.

Shan Xionghai then began to explore the secret chamber carefully. He had left too many memories here,

Now being able to preserve this secret chamber was already fortunate.

Suddenly, he discovered a few large characters on the left wall

"When you come looking for me again, don’t forget to bring along a Snow Python Rabbit!"

It was left by Zhou Xun when he came here to find him years ago. (Volume 2, Chapter 64)

"Brother Xunn!"

Seeing the message, Shan Xionghai couldn’t help but smile knowingly, now knowing that this childhood friend was still alive and doing extremely well,

He felt extremely gratified,

"Soon I will see you again!"

Uttering emotionally, he then waved his hand,

The original secret chamber was no longer there, leaving only a large hollow space in its place,

And this secret chamber was preserved by him, placed in his Storage Bag, which was the only thing he had left from those days.

He then walked into the tavern,

"Welcome in, guest," said the attendant as he led Shan Xionghai to a window seat on the second floor,

"What would the guest like to order? We have the finest ’Spirit Monkey Intoxication’!"

"Do you have ’Snow Python Rabbit’?" Shan Xionghai smiled slightly and asked,

"Guest truly knows quality, we just received three today, all freshly caught by Demon Hunting Cultivators, please come inside!"

Hearing the words ’Demon Hunting Cultivator’, Shan Xionghai couldn’t help but fall into memories.

Back then, he had followed his third uncle to learn the Path of Demon Hunting and even became a Demon Hunting Apprentice,

Zhou Xun used to often beg him to catch Snow Python Rabbits to eat,

"Guest, guest..." The attendant’s voice broke Shan Xionghai’s memories,

"Do you need anything else?"

"Oh, just pick your specialty dishes, three more dishes will do!" Shan Xionghai smiled,

Soon, the attendant brought up a long tray, with various delicacies arranged on it,

"Enjoy your meal, guest!"

Having arranged all the dishes on the table, the attendant prepared to leave!

"Hold on, I have some things I want to ask you!"

Upon hearing this, the attendant had no choice but to stop in his tracks,

"Please, guest, as long as it’s something I know, I’ll surely tell you!"

"I’ve long heard of the famed ’True Monarch Wangchuan’, can you tell me about his deeds?" Shan Xionghai asked.

"True Monarch Wangchuan!"

Hearing Shan Xionghai’s question, the attendant couldn’t help but become interested, his expression turning excited, gesticulating as he spoke.

"Guest, did you know that True Monarch Wangchuan was originally from our Red Leaf Square!"

"And the owner of our tavern, the Lin Family, comes from the family of the True Monarch’s Dao Companion!"

"To say it, we are also part of the True Monarch’s followers!" The attendant grinned shyly, feeling extremely proud.

’Lin Family! Could it be the Lin Family’s young lady? Back then, she was the dream of all the youths in Red Leaf Square, I can’t believe Brother Xunn beat us to it!’

"Back then, Red Leaf Square was dominated by the Four Great Clans. Somehow, the most powerful Wu Family allied with the other three to annex the Lin Family!"

"The entire Red Leaf Square fell into turmoil, and it was then that True Monarch Wangchuan left the Lin Family and later went to Qingyue Square,"

"Speaking of Qingyue Square, one cannot forget the Cultivation Clan, the Song Family, who rose because an elder sister married Master Jin Hong as his Dao Companion!"

"Later, they sent Fairy Song to the True Monarch’s Mansion and are now True Monarch’s in-laws, truly enviable to others!"

The attendant said this, showing a look of awe,

"Another Dao Companion?" Shan Xionghai said in great surprise,

’Brother Xunn is enjoying the blessings of two companions!’

"Indeed, the True Monarch has these two Dao Companions, and now the Lin and Song Families are one of the Four Great Clans!"

The attendant continued,

"After leaving Qingyue Square, the True Monarch went to White Cloud Immortal City, rising like a Flood Dragon into the sea, unable to be stopped!"

"First, Foundation Establishment, then acquiring the now-famous Wangchuan Lake Daoist Field, and then apprenticing under Master White Cloud!"

"During the Northern Celestial Feather Sect’s invasion, he established his Core Formation, then gained the favor of Master Tianci, becoming the Grand Elder of Tianhan City,"

"Many years later, when he appeared again, he was already a True Monarch Nascent Soul!"

"He has now established the Cultivator Alliance of the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, leading the entire Eastern Wilderness!"

"He is indeed the most famous person from our Red Leaf Square!"

The attendant said this, showing a sign of reverence.

Upon hearing this, Shan Xionghai showed longing. Compared to Zhou Xun, his years had been rather bland,

After apprenticing under Master Yun Ku, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator,

he began a monotonous cultivation life,

Everyday was nothing but cultivation,

In just two hundred years, he had reached Early-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivation and had even mastered the highest divine technique of Prajna Temple—Tathagata’s Treasure Body!

Even when facing Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, he could put up a fight!

"Do you know where True Monarch Wangchuan is?" Shan Xionghai casually asked,

"The whereabouts of his senior are beyond the knowledge of people like me, but I guess he’s either at Wangchuan Lake or in Tianhan City!"

The attendant replied.

"Alright, thank you!" Shan Xionghai slightly smiled, flipping his hand to take out a Spirit Stone and passed it over.

"Thank you for the reward, guest!"

The attendant was overjoyed, not expecting to receive a Spirit Stone as a tip. Usually, a few Spirit Essences would keep him happy for days!

However, upon clearly seeing the Spirit Stone in his hand, he was stunned,

"Middle-Grade Spirit Stone!"

He hurriedly looked up to express his thanks, but by then, the place was empty with no sign of the person,

Only then did he know he had met a senior expert and hurriedly bowed in respect!

Unaware of this, for Shan Xionghai, a Middle-Grade Spirit Stone was already the smallest unit of Spirit Stone in his Storage Bag,

After getting the information,

He flew directly toward Wangchuan Lake, reuniting with a childhood friend he hadn’t seen in over two hundred years!
