Chapter 382: Chapter 381: Now, Even Knows to Protect His Own Disciple
Upon hearing Shen Han say this, on the other end of the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact, Shi Yuezhu repeatedly advised him.
“Haste makes waste, in the path of cultivation, one should prioritize stability. Your current advancement in cultivation is already astonishingly fast.
Pursuing rapid progress any further may lead to problems…”
Shi Yuezhu and Shen Han had bonded through the Immortal Extinction Array.
In Shi Yuezhu’s heart, she actually longed for that kind of tranquil pastoral life.
Just like back then in the Secret Realm of the Little Pool Immortal.
But ultimately, those thoughts were only dreams.
Xiaoyao Peak had nurtured Shi Yuezhu for many years, and as the youngest Immortal Realm powerhouse of Great Wei, she was likely to assume the role of Sect Leader in the future.
How could she have the privilege to live such an idle and peaceful life?
The two chatted leisurely, and time passed swiftly.
During their night chats, Shi Yuezhu would occasionally ask Shen Han questions like a student seeking help.
She often couldn’t understand or comprehend the cultivation techniques.
She would tell Shen Han, and in one or two two-hour sessions, Shen Han could provide her with the answers.
Each verification would almost always be flawless.
Although Shi Yuezhu had already stepped into the Immortal Realm as a powerhouse, she truly had some admiration for Shen Han.
Reflecting carefully, it seemed every time she encountered a crisis, Shen Han was like a savior, able to assist her.
For Shen Han, conversing with Shi Yuezhu via the Sound Transmission every night seemed to clear away his fatigue.
During the day, when sparring with the tutors, he was always full of energy every day.
In contrast, quite a few of the tutors couldn’t keep up.
Several tutors had started to take turns sparring with Shen Han.
As Dean Tianyi put it crudely, Shen Han’s energy might not even be exhausted by a single partner.
…
North of the Capital City, Cuifeng Mountain.
Luo Zuchen knelt before the altar, devoutly bowing his head.
After kowtowing for a full half an hour, a hint of auspicious clouds suddenly appeared above the sky.
Luo Zuchen then stood up and walked towards the location where the clouds appeared.
Upon arrival, an entrance had already opened.
It seemed as if the stone wall had been forcefully pried open by someone.
Luo Zuchen stepped inside, and the passage was somewhat dark, with faint glimmers of light.
However, for an Immortal Realm powerhouse, it was enough to see.
After walking a distance, a vast palace appeared.
Incense candles were lit all around, creating an eerie atmosphere.
“You child, you’ve been quiet for decades, and now you’ve caused some trouble again?”
A hundred-plus-year-old Luo Zuchen was being called a child.
It seemed that only the person before him would address him this way.
Hearing this address, Luo Zuchen smiled wryly.
“Auntie, my face is full of wrinkles, how am I still a child…”
“In front of this old woman, aren’t you always a child?
Speak up, have you caused some trouble again.
As long as it’s not treason, everything will be fine.”
The person before him seemed accustomed to Luo Zuchen seeking help, as there was no worry on her face.
“It’s not yet treason, but once the action is taken, I’m afraid I’ll be accused of rebellion, murdering an Imperial Court Marquis successor.”
Luo Zuchen had a bitter smile on his face.
Hearing this, the seated person also opened her eyes.
“What do you mean?
Knowing this, you still want to act?
Has that person wronged you in some way?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Zuchen couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
“Frankly speaking, it’s Zuchen’s incompetence. It’s merely a young junior, but things have gotten so troublesome.
In the end, Auntie, I still must ask for your help…”
Thereafter, Luo Zuchen explained the conflict between him and Shen Han to his aunt.
Upon hearing that Shen Han was only twenty years old but already at the Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm,
and even dared to use those kinds of cultivation techniques to enhance his strength to the Fourth Grade,
even she, a reclusive powerhouse, was somewhat amazed.
One must not underestimate a Fifth Grade strength.
Outside the three major countries of Wei, Qi, and Yan, in the minor countries, Fifth Grade strength can already dominate a region.
The Fourth Grade, which approaches the Immortal Realm existence, in minor countries typically reaches the level of a National Guardian Powerhouse.
Most minor countries do not have a single Immortal Realm throughout the entire nation.
And Shen Han, being able to reach the Fourth Grade at twenty years old,
truly is somewhat astonishing, and unsurprisingly, his talent and potential almost inevitably lead to an entrance into the Immortal Realm.
“Auntie, if such a young man grows unhindered, nephew’s future days could become troublesome…
He might even enter the Second Grade of the Immortal Realm, and I might end up being humiliated by a junior, perhaps even losing my life…
Thinking it over, nephew still wants to take advantage of the current opportunity to eliminate him.”
Hearing this, Luo Zuchen’s aunt furrowed her brows deeply.
“He now has the qualification to inherit a Marquis title, and you’re sure you still want to make a move against him?”
“Auntie, rest assured, nephew has thought it through clearly.
By then, it will be nephew acting against him.
Even though he’s gifted, no matter how formidable, he couldn’t possibly overshadow me, an Immortal Realm powerhouse.
Nephew will take his life.
However, there might be two or three Immortal Realm powerhouses protecting him.
Nephew only needs auntie to restrain those troublemakers.
Throughout the process, auntie, you don’t need to make a move against him, just use the excuse of sparring to hold back others.
Even if it ends in treason, only this nephew who laid hands on him would be guilty.”
Hearing this, Luo Zuchen’s aunt couldn’t help but look up at him.
“If that’s the case, you may find it difficult to return to Great Wei.”
“No matter, nephew was already tired of staying in Great Wei, this world is vast; I can travel and enjoy myself before we talk about that.
But if Shen Han doesn’t die, there’ll always be a knot in my heart, and I won’t feel at ease daily.
Moreover, my disciple Shen Ye, that child’s temperament is also somewhat disheartened by Shen Han.
Eliminating him is necessary to set everything back on track.”
Luo Zuchen spoke sincerely; in front of his aunt, he indeed had no intention of hiding anything.
Upon hearing this, Luo Zuchen’s aunt nodded in agreement.
“You really have grown, now, you even know to protect your disciple.”
“This is all thanks to you, auntie, your teachings and guidance. Nephew encountered countless troubles during my youth and caused numerous incidents.
Wasn’t it you who protected me that I could become what I am today?
Now, as Luo Zuchen, I should naturally make some contributions for my disciple.”
His words were so sincere they even moved his aunt a bit.
“Since our family’s Zuchen has said such things, how can I, as your aunt, refuse?
But the location of the action, it’s best not to choose the Capital City.
To avoid those old ones from stepping in and causing unforeseen alterations.
Also, your aunt has already touched the brink of further advancement, it might not be long before the title of the number one powerhouse in Great Wei,
will fall to our Luo Changping.
By then, you can return to Great Wei.”
