Chapter 1032 - 313: Dao Source Secret Treasure 6

But before he could figure out what that feeling was, the imperial carriage had already gone far away.

"Go back!"

"Turn around!"

Shen Chongming immediately shouted.

Yet the old beggar outside the carriage was ultimately not a real driver and simply ignored him.

Helpless, Shen Chongming could only walk out of the carriage himself and cast a spell to stop the imperial carriage.

The old beggar sitting to the side still didn’t move, like a statue.

Standing in midair, Shen Chongming’s gaze fell on a small dot in the vast sea below. After pondering slightly, he put the imperial carriage away into his Storage Bag and turned into a stream of light, flying toward that medium-sized island.

No Spiritual Power fluctuations could be seen from the old beggar’s body, yet he eerily kept up with Shen Chongming’s speed.

When the two appeared above the island, that faint, elusive feeling surfaced again.

"This is... the aura of blood..."

"There are people of my Shen Family on the island below!?"

After carefully sensing it, Shen Chongming joyfully discovered that strange feeling was actually coming from the blood in his body!

For his blood to resonate like this meant that on the island below there must be members of the Shen Family, and might even be his own offspring!

"Thunder Spirit."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he immediately called out in his Dantian with his Heart Spirit.

The Thunder Pool Spirit instantly understood his intent; a mysterious force manifested, and the muscles on his face began writhing at once.

Moments later, Shen Chongming had turned into a thin-faced Cultivator with a Wood Spirit Root, at the Purple Mansion Early Stage.

After changing his appearance and aura, he flew straight down toward the island.

His figure had just arrived above the island when he noticed a powerful Array shield surrounding the island.

A middle-aged Cultivator in a blue-brown Magical Robe and a felt hat, holding a Copper Tripod in his hands, flew up from the island to the Grand Array’s light barrier, warily sizing up Shen Chongming and the old beggar.

"I wonder what business the two seniors have, coming to our Ge Family’s East Yue Island?"

East Yue Island, Ge Family...

Silently memorizing this information, Shen Chongming then smiled and said, "I, Ge Chi, happened to be traveling with an old friend. To find an island with Cultivators gathered in this boundless sea is no easy feat, so we thought to pay a visit and see whether we might exchange some cultivation supplies with your noble clan."

Loose Cultivators in the Outer Sea Region were always like this.

They drifted on the vast ocean; if they gained some opportunities they couldn’t use themselves, they would seek out a Market or a small power to sell them.

It was just that most Loose Cultivators preferred Markets and weren’t willing to exchange with powers.

Because compared to Markets, powers were more cohesive, and it was easy for greed to arise and lead to killing and robbing for treasures.

Unless they were forced by circumstances, urgently needing something and with no Market nearby; or unless they were quite confident in their own strength.

Right now, Shen Chongming was disguised as a Purple Mansion Early Stage Cultivator.

Under normal circumstances, a Purple Mansion Cultivator traveling in the Cangmin Sea Region indeed didn’t need to be overly cautious.

After all, Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm experts were not as common as one might imagine.

Here to exchange resources?

The felt-hatted middle-aged Cultivator stared suspiciously at Shen Chongming, then cupped his hands after a moment: "Forgive me, seniors. Our clan’s Patriarch is taking a concubine these days and is not convenient to receive guests."

"If the two seniors are willing, you may wait outside the island for a few days. Afterward, our Patriarch will personally receive you."

Taking a concubine?

Hearing this, Shen Chongming secretly frowned.

At such close range, he was already certain that the source of his bloodline resonance within East Yue Island was definitely one of the three Shen Xiuzhuo brothers or his daughter Shen Li.

The Shen Family had no dealings with this so-called Ge Family of East Yue Island.

The Patriarch of East Yue Island taking a concubine—how could members of the Shen Family be on the island?

"So it’s an auspicious day for your noble clan. Congratulations, congratulations."

After thinking it over, Shen Chongming continued, "To speak frankly, I enjoy lively occasions. Today happens to be your Patriarch’s joyous day; I wonder if you might allow me onto the island. I’d like to offer a small congratulatory gift in exchange for a couple cups of wedding wine."

He kept feeling some ominous premonition in the dark and had to find a way to get in and see for himself.

The felt-hatted Cultivator inside the Array’s light barrier frowned at him, somewhat hesitant.

Just then, an aged figure flew up from the island below.

The old man wore gray robes, with three triangular treasure flags shining brightly stuck behind his back. His half-lidded narrow eyes were hidden beneath thick brows, like a treacherous venomous snake choosing whom to bite. He swept a glance over Shen Chongming and the old beggar.

"Changjie, what’s going on?"

The old man turned toward the felt-hatted Cultivator and asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

The felt-hatted Cultivator cupped his hands at once: "Reporting to Third Grand-Uncle, these two are Loose Cultivators who wish to come to our East Yue Island to exchange cultivation supplies."

"Changjie told them the Patriarch is taking a concubine and cannot receive outsiders."

"That Cultivator then said he likes lively occasions and wants to come onto the island to ask for a couple cups of wedding wine..."

On hearing this, the old man glanced at Shen Chongming and the old beggar again. His lips moved slightly, as if transmitting sound to someone. A moment later, he suddenly chuckled, cupping his hands: "Since Fellow Daoist has spoken up, if our Ge Family refuses, we’d seem a bit petty."

"If you two don’t mind, there will be plenty of wedding wine."

"Changjie, open the Array and invite the two Fellow Daoists in."

Hearing this, the felt-hatted Cultivator immediately cupped his hands and signaled the Array Guardian Cultivators below to open a gate in the Array.

With the Array no longer blocking him, Shen Chongming instantly sensed this gray-robed old man’s cultivation, as well as several hidden auras on the island below.

"This Ge Family’s strength is not weak."

"One at Purple Mansion Realm Late Stage, three at the Middle Stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, and two at the Purple Mansion Early Stage..."

"No wonder they dared to let me in so casually."

Thunder Attribute Spirit Root possessed extremely keen perception. Once the Array shield was opened, even though the Purple Mansion Realm Cultivators on the island below didn’t deliberately reveal their aura, Shen Chongming still immediately sensed these several Purple Mansion Great Cultivators of the Ge Family.

At the same time, that bloodline resonance grew even stronger.

Only, out of courtesy, he didn’t immediately sweep the place with his Divine Sense.

Light flickered in his hand as Shen Chongming took out two pieces of Fourth Grade Golden Brilliance Stone and said, "Since it’s your Patriarch’s joyous day, I can’t drink this wedding wine for free."

"A modest gift. I hope Fellow Daoist will not disdain it."

The gray-robed old man looked at the Golden Brilliance Stones in his hand, somewhat surprised.

This kind of Fourth Grade Qi cultivation material wasn’t exactly precious, but each piece could sell for at least two to three hundred Spirit Crystals.

He had originally thought the two were here to make trouble and had already secretly sent voice transmissions to the other Purple Mansion Cultivators on the island.

Unexpectedly, Shen Chongming produced a congratulatory gift the moment he arrived, seeming indeed to only want a cup of wedding wine.

"Hehe... Fellow Daoist is too courteous."

The gray-robed old man chuckled, cupping his hands: "Changjie, hurry and escort the two seniors to the residence for tea."

The felt-hatted Cultivator stepped forward, took the two Golden Brilliance Stones, then respectfully extended a hand: "Please, seniors, follow this junior."

Shen Chongming nodded, cupped his hands toward the gray-robed old man, and followed the Golden Core Cultivator named Ge Changjie down toward the island.

After he was led away, two more aged Purple Mansion Cultivators came to stand by the gray-robed old man.

"Old Third, what’s that man’s background?"

Watching Shen Chongming and the old beggar, the gray-robed old man shook his head with a deep expression: "Not clear..."

"He doesn’t look like he came to cause trouble."

"He produced two pieces of Fourth Grade Golden Brilliance Stone as a congratulatory gift right off the bat..."

As his voice fell, the scholarly old man beside him with crane-white hair and a childlike face frowned and said, "Do not take it lightly."

"The Female Cultivator Big Brother captured is a Purple Mansion Realm Sword Cultivator."

"It’s hard to say what kind of formidable power might be behind her."

"Send people to watch those two closely. If they truly only came to drink wedding wine, then it’s fine."

"If they harbor other intentions, we must kill them quickly, lest they bring trouble to East Yue Island."

A glint flashed in the gray-robed old man’s eyes, and he nodded with a strange smile.
