"Is there any problem?"

Seeing Shen Chuxue remain silent, Yun Lingshu showed discontent.

Shen Wang arranged specifically for this person, so she didn't believe it was irrelevant.

Since it was in her hands, she had to get to the bottom of it.

Swish! The trees shook, and Shen Wang appeared beside them, giving his daughter a glance, saying, "She's one of us."

"Since the main person is here, can you explain it to me?"

Yun Lingshu looked at Shen Wang.

"This is a relative of mine, seeking refuge with me."

Shen Wang didn't want to disclose his daughter's identity, after all, she was still young. At this age, having Core Formation Cultivation was too astounding.

To protect his daughter, he wouldn't reveal her true identity.

Han Wan'Er looked at Shen Wang in surprise, as there was no familial relation between them. How could this person be associated with Shen Wang?

Was it a coincidence or...

Han Wan'Er looked at Shen Chuxue, wanting an answer, but knew it was inappropriate to ask here.

"Since she's one of us, there's no need to hide. We welcome capable individuals to join us."

Yun Lingshu gave Shen Chuxue a deep look. She was sure there was some secret among these people, but since they didn't want to reveal it and it didn't hinder the bigger picture, she wisely decided not to ask further.

"Let's quickly head to the branch line, don't give the Demon Beasts a chance."

Shen Wang urged.

The group successfully reached the second line of defense at the branch, resting behind the Array.

About ten percent fewer people made it here, other teams lost even more, ranging from thirty to seventy percent.

Qing Feng Zhenren, the Vein Leader of the Xun Vein, flew out, glanced at Shen Wang and Yun Lingshu, and nodded: "Everyone's worked hard; rest quickly, those beasts will attack soon."

He waved his hand, and a group of people came out with supplies to distribute.

Amid the supplies, Shen Wang noticed many resources he had given to the Celestial Cloud True Monarch and casually took them down, continuing to absorb the Essence of Plants to recover.

On the Demon Beast side, the returning White Emperor received many disdainful looks.

"What are you staring at me for? If you have the guts, fight him yourself!"

The White Tiger Emperor was especially furious.

"That person's strength is not simple, having cultivated Multi-attribute Magical Power that can suppress most forces, be cautious when dealing with him."

Wolf Venerable's voice resonated, and all the Demon Emperors lowered their heads.

"Continue to drive the army to attack, exhaust their power. Avoid unnecessary fights with them; they are now at their wit's end. Without resources, they'll be nothing but prey."

Wolf Venerable's words were filled with malice.

The cultivators at each defense line suffered heavy casualties, with only a few retreating to the second line, leaving many corpses along the way.

The tidal wave of Demon Beasts followed, surrounding the second line, but not attacking, instead consuming the fallen humans and their dead kin.

Unlike the resource-depleted humans, these Demon Beasts and Fierce Beasts conversely grew stronger from the blood and flesh, fighting with increasing strength.

In this snowballing scenario, humans were naturally at a disadvantage, losing the longer they fought.

At the Xun Vein location of the Eight Meridians, people took a breather thanks to the Array.

Shen Wang recovered even before Yun Lingshu, only then did he look at Shen Chuxue.

The latter's gaze was a bit evasive, feeling guilty.

"Girl, you've got some nerve, running away from home."

Shen Wang transmitted his thoughts.

"Dad, I didn't expect you to find me, what a coincidence, we just happened to come to the same place."

Shen Chuxue awkwardly replied.

"I'll deal with you when we get back, stay by my side for now, don't wander off. If your true identity is discovered, it's extremely dangerous, got it?"

Shen Wang didn't say much else, only told his daughter to be careful.

"Got it, what's the situation with her?"

Shen Chuxue responded.

"Which her?"

Shen Wang wasn't sure if Shen Chuxue meant Yun Lingshu or Han Wan'Er.

"Naturally, the one who gave birth to me, you came back specifically to find her, right?"

Shen Chuxue used "that one" to refer to her, not acknowledging Han Wan'Er in her heart.

"Partly, to conclude things from back then."

Shen Wang said, "Now there's nothing more between her and me, it's up to you. You came secretly, must be unable to let go of this mother."

Shen Chuxue was silent for a moment, then said, "I came to see what kind of person she is."

"You've seen her, what do you think?"

"Very opportunistic, valuing small benefits over greater principles, not a good mother, but quite suitable for cultivation, just unlucky to have missed someone as amazing as you, Dad."

Shen Chuxue gave her evaluation.

"Do you still want to acknowledge her as your mother?"

Shen Wang asked.

"Nothing to acknowledge, I'm over her now."

Shen Chuxue didn't show much interest.

"It's your decision."

Shen Wang didn't intervene much; his eldest daughter was extraordinary and didn't need him to manage her too much.

Noticing Shen Chuxue and Shen Wang communicating, Han Wan'Er couldn't help but ask: "What did he say to you?"

"Nothing much."

Shen Chuxue didn't want to say more.

Han Wan'Er watched Shen Chuxue intently: "What exactly is your relationship with him?"

"Didn't he say already?" Shen Chuxue retorted.

"Is it that coincidental, that you're related to both of us?"

Han Wan'Er murmured.

"Isn't it normal for two families with many members to have two related individuals?" Shen Chuxue said casually.

Han Wan'Er looked disappointed, but then thought, her daughter was still young, how could she have Golden Core Level cultivation?

This person couldn't be her daughter.

She bit her lip: "Do you know his child?"

"Not sure."

Shen Chuxue shook her head.

Han Wan'Er looked despondent: "I just want to know the name of his daughter."

"Why?"

Shen Chuxue asked knowingly.

"I..."

Han Wan'Er lowered her head, eyes misty: "Because she is also my child."

"Your child? And you don't know her name?" Shen Chuxue showed a hint of sarcasm.

Tears flowed, Han Wan'Er wiped them away and said, "I made mistakes back then, did things that let them down."

Seeing the troubled Han Wan'Er, Shen Chuxue softened and said, "Her name is Chuxue."

"Chuxue..."

Han Wan'Er whispered, "When she was born, it was the first snow of winter; it's a beautiful name."

She looked at Shen Chuxue: "Have you met her? How is she now?"

"I'm not sure, you should ask him."

Shen Chuxue shook her head.

"Thank you."

Han Wan'Er was immensely grateful and said, "If you have a chance to see her, could you give her some things for me?"

"What things?"

Shen Chuxue was curious.

Han Wan'Er urgently took out a Storage Pouch and handed it to Shen Chuxue: "With your strength, you're bound to have another opportunity to meet my daughter, please pass it to her."

Shen Chuxue reached her thoughts into it and froze.

Inside were several children's clothes, obviously for a girl, and some Elixirs.

Her heart trembled, and she looked at Han Wan'Er with complicated feelings.

Embarrassed, Han Wan'Er said, "They're just some clothes I made by hand, not worth much; please tell her not to despise them."
