Chapter 1598 - 461: Eternal Sin Fire Mirror, Open for Me!!! (6k)_2

"That’s right." Shen Juefeng sighed, "From the moment you brought him back a month ago, I tried to persuade him to wait until my injury healed before taking action, but he agreed too readily. At that time, I vaguely guessed."

He looked at Shen Yunzhou: "Do you know why he deliberately mentioned that Four-color Communication Jade Scroll?"

Shen Yunzhou quickly took out his Jade Scroll.

Shen Juefeng took the Jade Scroll, sighed softly: "He chose to leave today and deliberately mentioned the Jade Scroll, as he’s considering us his last resort."

"In case the situation changes..." Shen Juefeng’s gaze was sharp, "at least we can be informed in time."

"Moreover, my injuries have largely recovered; unexpectedly reinforcing might turn the tide of battle."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunzhou was filled with anxiety: "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry and assist him!"

Shen Juefeng, however, showed a meaningful smile, took a deep breath, and looked towards the distance: "Let’s wait a bit longer."

He whispered, "Let that boy... act according to his own plan."

Previously, Zhou Qing insisted that Yunzhou not follow, presumably unwilling to let him see that secret weapon capable of countering the Supreme Realm.

Choosing this moment to leave alone again, it’s likely for that thing.

Since he doesn’t want them to know, it’s wise for them to respect his decision.

When he sends the signal for help, it wouldn’t be too late for them to take action.

Of course, Shen Juefeng hopes... all of this is just his overthinking.

"Yi’Er, your insight... is indeed correct." Shen Juefeng murmured in his heart.

...

In fact, just as Shen Juefeng had speculated, not long after, when Zhou Qing reappeared, he was already standing in front of the grand entrance of the Liu Family!

He looked up at the glaring sunlight at noon, a sinister smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

It seemed the Liu Family truly wouldn’t expect anyone to dare to come to their doors in broad daylight.

After confirming everything was ready, Zhou Qing’s figure flashed, silently moving to the flanks, beginning to dismantle the Clan Protection Array.

In just a moment, he skillfully opened a ripple entrance only wide enough for a person to pass through, slipping in.

About an hour later, three figures appeared silently outside the Liu Family’s entrance.

Shen Juefeng coldly looked at the Clan Protection Array, wondering if the Five-color Array of the Shen Family was seized by the Celestial Phoenix Palace or the Yan Family...

"Conceal your qi completely!" Shen Juefeng said in a low voice.

Shen Lieyang and Shen Yunzhou nodded in unison, and the three quickly hid their forms.

Shen Yunzhou tightly clasped the Communication Jade Scroll, his eyes unblinking, afraid of missing any message...

...

In the Liu Family’s reception hall, the scent of sandalwood lingered.

Liu Hanchuan sat in a carved rosewood imperial chair, the black brocade robe making his figure appear even taller.

His face was elegant, yet his brows held an air of authority.

With slender fingers lightly tapping a cup, when the lid was lifted, the amber tea rippled slightly.

"Brother Xiao, try this newly arrived Snow Domain Immortal Bud." He leisurely blew away the young buds floating on the tea, mist rising from the cup.

Opposite him, the ancestor of the Xiao Family, Xiao Juechen, wrung his hands anxiously.

The once spirited face now showed only weariness, his interest in tasting tea long gone.

"Brother Liu, please report again, I truly have urgent matters to see the ancestor." Xiao Juechen’s tone was urgent.

Liu Hanchuan sipped the tea lightly, gently closing the lid and setting it on the table.

He looked at Xiao Juechen, much older than himself: "I already know the plight of the Xiao Family."

"Zhou Qing returned from the Desolate Forbidden, and while you were away, killed the Xiao Family Head and two Elders, is that right?"

Xiao Juechen nodded repeatedly: "Indeed! You know, I was ordered to search for the severely injured Shen Canghai, and that’s why..."

"From Brother Xiao’s words, are you blaming me?" Liu Hanchuan’s brow suddenly furrowed.

Xiao Juechen quickly waved his hands: "Absolutely not! I wouldn’t dare..."

Liu Hanchuan snorted coldly: "Brother Xiao should know, without my Liu Family, your Xiao Family would be unknown, hiding somewhere."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Juechen nodded incessantly.

"Speaking of which, Zhou Qing bore no grievances with the Xiao Family, his actions this time are because of my Liu Family and the Yan Family." Liu Hanchuan’s tone softened, "The sacrifice of the Xiao Family, we naturally keep in mind."

Xiao Juechen sighed deeply, his aged face even more weary: "Now, what worries me most is his elusive revenge. Every disciple of the Xiao Family is fearful, even hesitant to go out for supplies, fearing..."

Before finishing his sentence, Liu Hanchuan had already raised his hand to interrupt: "I understand. But you also see, the current state of my Liu Family."

He pointed to the area outside the window shrouded in black mist, "The obsession area is rapidly expanding; we are unable to spare any resources."

Xiao Juechen’s expression shifted: "The Xiao Family is in no better shape. Most of the main hall has been infested by the obsession; it seems we may need to find a new location."

"If you must relocate, so be it." Liu Hanchuan’s tone was indifferent, "After all, you’ve only been settled in the Fifth Tail for five years; many places are still undeveloped."

Xiao Juechen: "..."

"By the way," Liu Hanchuan suddenly changed the topic, "you brought three Spirit Severing Realm cultivators this time?"

Xiao Juechen nodded: "They feared encountering Zhou Qing, so they came with me to avoid danger."

"Perfect." Liu Hanchuan smiled faintly, "Our Liu Family has consecutively lost six Spirit Severing Realm experts. I sense, the next round of revenge from the other side is imminent. You should stay temporarily to guard against unforeseen events."

"But over at the Xiao Family..." Xiao Juechen looked worried.

Liu Hanchuan sneered, "As long as you’re here, the Xiao Family remains. The Fifth Tail over there is just an empty shell."

"Rest assured, as long as my Liu Family exists, no one can move the position of your Xiao Family. Among the Eight Great Families, there’s always a place for you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Juechen rejoiced and quickly bowed: "Thank you, Brother Liu!"
