After ending the conversation, Han Ying was done with preparing the goat and they began eating. Shen Lian on the other hand did not consume any food as he could absorb the Qi of vitality of the heaven and earth anytime to replenish his body.

To him, the baby of an infant still possessed some elements of the heavens. Consuming food or anything that has blood would contaminate the body.

Chen Qing and Han Ying found that strange but they were not too surprised as there were too many strange things about Shen Lian. They went to bed after eating and Shen Lian too was not in a hurry to teach them methods of cultivation.

He made the black tiger lead him outwards and gradually entered the state of concentration. He continued to analyze the Qi of vitality of the heaven and earth and the reaction of his body towards it.

His heart was suddenly shaken as a vision flashed through his mind. In a hall under the moonlit sky, an elegant and wealthy woman was decapitated.

Strange laughter started bursting out in the hall as the woman’s cranial cavity oozed out a dash of green Qi that was packed into a pouch by a strange person dressed in black robe.

Shen Lian was aware that he was somewhat related to this woman and no doubt this was the Master of the Xi Liang city, also his grandmother.

The strange person obviously possesed special powers and could be considered a cultivator in this world. The green Qi collected by the strange person was probably the condensation of the will of the people of the city.

Looks like the uprising in Xi Liang city was not as simple as it seemed.

The vision tattered and Shen Lian took a deep look at Chen Qing. He closed his eyes and decided to let her have a good sleep tonight.

The strange person in the hall could not sense the gaze of Shen Lian. Or it could be said that not many people in the world would be able to sense Shen Lian’s passive gaze.

Shen Lian’s divine thoughts were no longer as powerful as it used to be. But it was still at a level that was beyond ordinary living beings. In fact, it was at the highest state of the ordinary realm.

The quality gap was not something the a person of the level of the strange person in black could imagine.

A female general in an armour suit walked in. Her eyebrows were as thick as ink and it was slanted to her temple, giving out a murderous aura. She held on to her sword and said to the strange person in black, “Wizard, how did it go?”

The female general was the Gao Jie, the head of the Gao family who started the uprising. She was also Xi Liang city’s most powerful person.

The wizard replied, “I have taken the will of the people from her. You can now legitimately take the throne of the city.”

Gao Jie laughed out loud, “Perfect! I have been waiting for this day since forever.”

“But what about the thing that you promised me?” The wizard stared coldly at her.

Gao Jie felt the chills down her spine and said, “I was careless and caused Chen Qing to escape. But her prestige was not as established as the old woman. She won’t be able to stir any waves.”

The wizard coldly responded, “I said I wanted the other daughter. Who cares about that woman?”

Gao Jie forced an answer, “The old woman was well prepared. She has assigned someone to send the girl along with a trade entourage to Da Xia. I was just about to order my subordinate to chase after them.”

Green ghost fires started to light up in the wizard’s eyes. It dashed out like two long cables and knocked on Gao Jie’s chest and caused it to rip. She was moaning in terrible pain.

“I hate it the most when someone does not deliver what they promised. If you do not find her in a month, I will give you a taste of living hell.”, the wizard replied coldly.

Gao Jie furiously left the hall with the aid of her subordinate. The wizard was not bothered by her furiosity because he was far more superior than a female monkey like her. If she refused to obey, he could just look for another one.

His thoughts remained focused on the little girl. He has attempted to abduct her several times but she had a pendant on her that was a concentration of the will of the people of Xi Liang and that prevented him from getting close to her. On top of that, she was the daughter of the Master of the City. She was well protected and security was always tight around her.

That was the reason why the wizard decided to help the Gao family with the uprising, so that he could disperse the concentrated will of the people. He delivered his promise to get rid of the Master of the City but did not expect the Gao family to be so useless to fail capturing the little girl.

Even the prized possessions of the Master of the City could not make up for the loss of the little girl. The moment he laid his eyes on the girl, he knew that her soulful aura would be able to help him cultivate to a higher state. He then would be able to return to his tribe and take back the position that initially belonged to him.

The city of Xi Liang was nothing compared to the rankings of a Doyen of a tribe.

As long as he returned to the tribe, he would be a true ‘wizard’ or even achieve his ancestral trait of immortality.

...

Chen Qing woke up to a terrible morning as Shen Lian told her the bad news.

Her mother was no longer around and Chen Qing believed his words. She dreamed of her mother last night, the mother who was strict yet loving. They were now separated by life and death.

Shen Lian guessed that this place was part of the Nine Underworlds and anyone who passed away here would not have a beautiful ending. But at least he managed to observe the person in Chen Qing’s dream was definitely not her mother. It was more of a collection of scattered spirits.

When an ordinary person passed away, their spirits would never be as scattered as the one he observed. There would at least be some concentrated spirit’s will and if the deceased was lucky, it could turn into a ghost.

Maybe it was something that has to do with the structure of their body. After all, they were conceived by drinking the waters of River of Mother.

Chen Qing was in grief but Shen Lian just could not feel sad about it.

His sentiments towards Chen Qing was not even close to the likes of old Master Shen and Ruoxi.

Chen Qing was a little upset by his coldness.

She wanted to say something but nothing could come out from her mouth as she looked at Shen Lian’s eyes.

Shen Lian pointed at the fruits and said, “These fruits are free from poison, you can have this for breakfast. We will stay here for a couple of days more and the two of you would need to rest well and recover. It makes no sense for the living beings to be affected by the deceased. Grandmother too would like to see you cheer up and be strong for the future.”

His words were calm and objective but what consoled Chen Qing was his thoughts of preparing the fruits for her. Her son that was born a deity actually cared about her food consumption and that caught her by surprise.

She did not know if her mother once had such sentiments too. After all, this was her first time being a mother.

Han Ying and Chen Qing did not enjoy a close relationship prior to this. But after a couple of days, they shared a sister-like deep relationship.

Shen Lian was not surprised by this and he did not think that such relationship, formed so quickly, would last long. But it was a good thing that the two of them could get along with each other well.

After two days of preparation, Han Ying’s body had fully recovered and Chen Qing had regained her health. Her speedy recovery after giving birth and experiencing the loss of her mother was beyond her imagination.

But it would not be too surprising if they knew that Shen Lian and the Black Tiger has almost wiped clean of all the spiritual fruits and herbs of Mount Jieyang for them for the past two days.

The poor Black Tiger wanted to eat their excretion to absorb the undigested soulful aura but Shen Lian told him very clearly that he should never consume feces.
