"The bloodline of the Shen Family is called Longevity Blood, possessing extremely powerful life force. Its power should not be inferior to our Yun Family's Wind and Thunder Blood..."

Yun Lingshu investigated the bloodline situation of the Shen Family, surprised, she considered a possibility.

Could it be that Shen Wang awakened his bloodline and repaired his Dantian through the power of the bloodline?

"Even so, achieving Core Formation in such a short time isn't that easy, right?"

Yun Lingshu was still curious about how Shen Wang managed it. Was the Longevity Blood too strong, or was there some other treasure assisting him?

"Are those two demons his subordinates? Do they know some secrets?"

Yun Lingshu prepared to investigate further, and decide whether to secretly seek help from a teacher to deal with this person later.

She guarded the defense line for two days, confirming no further demon beast attacks for the moment, before flying toward the Main Vein.

The Main Vein was heavily guarded. After arriving, Yun Lingshu couldn't fly freely and landed lightly on the mountain to proceed.

She went straight to the area where the demons were imprisoned.

This place was a bamboo grove, each bamboo stalk serving as a cage. Within the grove, there was a small bamboo building housing two strange individuals.

Strange because, while they appeared human, they bore many black scales. The burly man's scales were thick, while the slender woman's were fewer, with the least on her face, allowing her human features to be visible.

Both had an unusual aura, their power more violent than Spiritual Power, reaching Foundation Establishment level.

"Ling Shu, why have you suddenly come here?"

A middle-aged man stepped out from the bamboo grove, dressed in green, with a beard, exuding an immortal aura.

He stopped Yun Lingshu: "The Sect Leader has decreed that no one should approach these people freely."

Yun Lingshu clasped her hands: "Uncle Cyan Leaf, I wish to ask them some questions about the Shen Family."

"Shen Family? The affiliated clan that was wiped out?"

Cyan Leaf's interest grew.

"Yes, I discovered these two were subordinates of someone from the Shen Family, suspecting that person knows their secret in absorbing demonic qi."

Yun Lingshu nodded, deliberately linking Shen Wang's matters with the use of demonic qi, knowing the sect was researching these recently.

"Who? Is someone from the Shen Family still alive?"

Cyan Leaf was surprised.

"Yes, he's still within the sect now."

Yun Lingshu chuckled: "Uncle, let me question them, then you'll know who I'm talking about."

"You girl selling mysteries to me now. Since it's just a few questions, it doesn't need the Sect Leader's approval. You can approach and ask directly."

Cyan Leaf turned to lead the way, allowing Yun Lingshu to enter the bamboo grove and stop outside the bamboo house.

"Mr. and Mrs. Liu Shan, come out for a moment, someone wants to see you."

Cyan Leaf called out.

Cultivating Liu Shan opened his eyes, exchanged a glance with his wife, and stepped out.

Seeing Yun Lingshu, they didn't recognize her and felt somewhat impatient.

The couple had been brought here and frequently researched. Had they not been unable to offend, they would have cursed long ago.

"You know Shen Wang, right?"

Yun Lingshu said.

Their expressions changed instantly.

Liu Shan, concerned about causing trouble for Shen Wang, said, "We don't know him."

"How could you not know? He came to find you."

Yun Lingshu teased: "Don't you want to go back with him?"

A moment of Cyan Leaf's gaze shifted, determining from their reactions that Yun Lingshu hadn't lied.

These two people indeed had a connection with someone from the Shen Family.

"Master came looking for us?"

Liu Shan was somewhat excited.

"Yes."

Yun Lingshu nodded: "He wants to take you away but sees little hope. If you cooperate, there might be a chance to leave with him."

"We need to see the master first."

Liu Shan was suspicious, fearing Yun Lingshu was deceiving them.

"No problem, I'll have him come for you."

Yun Lingshu nodded, turning to leave while muttering: "These two are truly his subordinates."

"Where's the Shen Family person? I'll catch him; he might know many demon secrets."

Cyan Leaf spoke resolutely.

"This person is slippery, Uncle, don't rush. He's right here in the sect; I'll go see him first."

Yun Lingshu didn't want Cyan Leaf True Monarch to use excessive force, fearing Shen Wang might reveal her humiliating secrets.

"Since he's within the sect, a fallen clan survivor surely doesn't warrant grand gestures. I'll discuss with the Sect Leader, while you summon him here directly."

Cyan Leaf did not regard Shen Wang highly.

"Okay, if action is required, Uncle, please don't let him have the opportunity to resist or speak publicly; I suspect there might be others behind him."

Yun Lingshu said.

"Oh, the Shen Family was annihilated; what people could be behind him?"

Cyan Leaf dismissed the idea.

"Better to be cautious, just in case."

Yun Lingshu said.

"Alright, we'll be mindful of this possibility."

Cyan Leaf nodded and turned to seal the array, instructing a disciple to guard, then transformed into a cyan light and departed.

Yun Lingshu flew to the front line, thinking: "Still, it's better to bring him to the Main Vein. Even if my secrets are exposed, few would know."

She appeared in the area where Shen Wang and others were, directly saying: "Shen Wang, come with me."

Many were surprised, looking at Shen Wang. Previously, this heir of heaven's favored had called Shen Wang once, initially assumed unlucky, but he was fine. Now she's back asking for Shen Wang again; perhaps there's some benefit?

Han Wan'Er felt uneasy, not understanding why Yun Lingshu cared so much for the person she had abandoned.

Yi Feng, courteous, said: "Senior Brother Shen seems to have a chance to return to the sect."

Shen Wang found these reactions amusing, saying little, and followed Yun Lingshu away.

This made Yun Lingshu somewhat uneasy: "Why are you so calm, not asking why I'm looking for you?"

"No doubt to capture me and interrogate my secrets."

Shen Wang said plainly: "These past two days you must have secretly investigated me and now talked with the elders, preparing to take me down forcibly."

Yun Lingshu's expression changed, watching Shen Wang warily, noticing he showed no signs of fleeing, she frowned: "Even knowing this, you're still willing to come with me?"

"I have my reasons to come over; you just don't regret it."

Shen Wang was expressionless; upon Yun Lingshu's arrival, he had been planning and now had countermeasures.

"Don't mess things up, I can speak for you."

Yun Lingshu feared Shen Wang might say something inappropriate, she said: "The people you seek are very safe, and we value them greatly, providing them better treatment than many disciples, without worrying about demon beast threats. They're now Foundation Establishment; they may not necessarily wish to leave with you."

"That's good, since they're useful to you, such treatment is warranted; just afraid you'll dissect them for research in the future."

Shen Wang jested.

"What, do you want to take them away? Isn't that a pipe dream?"

Yun Lingshu felt Shen Wang was abnormal, not supposed to speak so calmly.

"That depends on their willingness."

Shen Wang said indifferently: "Moreover, you've researched for so long, you should have studied enough; taking them away wouldn't be a loss for you."

"What secrets do you have? Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator wouldn't dare speak like this!"

Yun Lingshu stared at Shen Wang, desperately wanting to see through his confidence's source.
