Chapter 790 - 536: The Second Elder’s Line Begins to Decline

In the Celestial Star Courtyard of Celestial South Market, stars scattered across the sky as a stream of light suddenly darted into the location.

"What happened?"

Shen Yumo’s expression was as cold as frost, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings sharply as she inquired through voice transmission.

Beside her, Lanlan kept her head down, a look of shame on her face, without uttering a word.

Shen Yumo’s heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out, "Did Senior Brother come?"

"Miss, we failed to guard it and let you down on your prior expectations."

Lanlan gritted her teeth and spoke with her head lowered.

The previous maids had long disappeared without a trace, and the new batch of maids hired by the Celestial Star Courtyard now had no relation to the former ones.

"My Senior Brother’s temperament has become increasingly unruly.

Once I return to the Celestial Profound Sword Sect, I will report to Master and give you an explanation."

Shen Yumo said through gritted teeth.

After speaking.

She stepped forward and within moments entered the bedroom.

Frowning deeply, she waved her right hand, and a Celestial Sword flew out, wildly venting her fury over the Celestial South Market’s Celestial Star Courtyard.

"Quite the Senior Brother! Once I return to the Celestial Profound Sword Sect and hand over these Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects to Master, it won’t matter that your cultivation was slightly superior to mine before, this time, I am determined to surpass you.

Then, as your Junior Sister, I can finally have a say in front of you."

Shen Yumo spoke slowly, word by word.

Meanwhile, at the Song Family Manor in Qingshan Town, seeing the formidable aura of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator around Zheng Yi, Song Hailong was stunned, feeling a mix of awe and unease, unable to say much.

The three other Honored Guests, alongside the carefree Song Xian, were full of excitement.

"Master has returned so swiftly again!"

"Judging by Master’s current cultivation, this trip to the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains must have been quite successful.

Congratulations, Master, felicitations!"

Song Xian said enthusiastically.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yi couldn’t help but roll his eyes and with a humble expression said, "It was just sheer luck, not as great as you imagine."

However, obviously, the cultivators present didn’t believe it.

After all.

Before entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Zheng Yi was only at late-stage Qi Refining.

Thinking back, everyone speculated that Zheng Yi probably went to the Hundred Thousand Mountains to find a quiet place for advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage.

This line of reasoning seemed logical enough.

"Master, are you returning to the Celestial South Market next?

May I accompany you? I wish to serve by your side always."

Song Xian asked with a flattering smile.

Zheng Yi glanced at him and smiled faintly, saying, "If you want to follow, you can make your own way to the Celestial South Market from Qingshan Town.

There, the Alchemy Shop in the east is the venture I currently manage for the family, perhaps I can take you on as an Alchemy Apprentice, granting you a foothold in the field of Alchemy in the future."

Having said that, Zheng Yi

left the main hall.

A few days later, Zheng Yi had already departed alone without taking Song Xian, vanishing from everyone’s sight.

Nevertheless, Zheng Yi’s arrival still brought a substantial uplift to the Song Mansion.

Inside the Song Mansion.

Song Hailong turned around, casting a complex gaze at his usually troublesome younger brother, and said, "This time, the Song Family really owes you."

"Hahahaha."

Song Xian laughed heartily, hands on his hips, and said, "Now, brother, you must finally see how amazing I am! Your brother is the treasure of our Song Family.

Don’t bully me again, alright?"

Seeing Song Xian becoming increasingly smug, Song Hailong rolled his eyes.

With a wave of his right hand, he instantly unleashed his middle-stage Qi Cultivation strength, with a slight, imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to Song Xian, "That will depend on when you’re able to beat me.

Anyway, Senior has already left.

I am your elder brother and even if I teach you a lesson, Senior is unlikely to intervene on your behalf."

Saying this, Song Hailong’s Cyan Blade Sword moved slightly, and a large flurry of Wind Blades rushed towards Song Xian like a storm.

"Righteous extermination of relatives, murder!"

Song Xian shouted while fleeing desperately from the front, with Song Hailong closely pursuing from behind, his spiritual power attacks growing fiercer.

The Honored Guests on the side just smiled slightly at this scene.

How could they not see that this was clearly the eldest son of the Song Family honing the younger one, which, over time, would surely prove to be beneficial for the Song Family.

Returning from Qingshan Town to the Celestial South Market.

It took Zheng Yi nearly half a month, but it wasn’t much trouble.

In Zheng Yi’s absence during this time, the Alchemy Shop ran as usual, and no major changes occurred on Piaomiao Mountain, leaving everything safe and sound.

...

Simultaneously!

In the Alchemy Pavilion within the Skill Transmission Hall on Piaomiao Mountain.

Wang Miaomiao, who had resumed her cultivation, although possessing the experience of a Third-grade Alchemist, could only stand out as a "General among dwarves" within the Wang Family, barely managing some affairs.

However, as her cultivation deepened.

She increasingly found herself struggling, and for the time being, even feared she would not match up to the other Alchemy Apprentices inside the Alchemy Pavilion.

The strength was evident, and others were powerless to change it.

When Wang Miaomiao came out of the Alchemy Pavilion.

She appeared disheveled and looked wretched, far from having the high and mighty demeanor of the granddaughter from the lineage of the Second Elder.

If not for relying on this status, she might at this moment not even be comparable to the average Alchemy Apprentice.

The Alchemy Apprentices around her.

Each one, as if avoiding a plague, quickly dodged her, fearing any association with her.

Recently.

Rumors had spread wildly within the family about the Second Elder offending the newly appointed Clan Leader, who was the former Young Clan Leader Wang Xingyin.

Together with the Second Elder’s lineage, they faced numerous targets.
