Langya, Daishan.

Daishan has thousands of strange peaks, some of which are covered with snow all the year round.In one valley, the slopes were snowy and knee-deep.The new snow bursts, blowing between the sky and the earth, as if it has not changed for thousands of years.

"It's here." Yu Changle narrowed his eyes and looked around, and said.

A cultivator said euphemistically: "This fairy...cough, young master. Do you think Patriarch Shen will come here? With a broken arm?"

Shen Yuanting was seriously injured, and most of his spiritual power had been consumed. According to common sense, he would not live long without medical treatment.He should go back to his home to find a doctor to heal his injuries. No matter what he thinks, he will not come to such a place full of wind and snow, and come here to wait for death?

Bai Huaigu tended to guess like this. He didn't believe in Yu Changle's intuition, so he split into two groups.

Yu Changle said: "It's just a guess. Didn't the other people go to the Shen family? Besides, even with medical treatment, he may not be able to live."

A bone in one arm was shattered, another arm was completely broken, and the spiritual power was insufficient, even the gods might not be able to get it back.He struggled to escape, more likely to do something before dying.

When Yu Changle proposed an idea, those who were willing to follow were divided into two groups.One group either went back to their own family, or went directly to the Shen family to ask for an explanation; the other group followed Yu Changle and Ao Yan and sneaked into Daishan in secret.

Some of the monks who followed were good at formations, and thanks to the unexpectedly loose security around here, they were able to sneak in without the guards from the Shen family at all.

When Yu Changle and Ao Yan came to Langya for the first time, they and Ao Yan both fell out of Huoze Secret Realm and landed in this snow valley.And here, they met Shen Yuanting.

Now that I think about it, it's kind of weird.

Why was Shen Yuanting there?Obviously not because he knew they would land there in advance, but because he was going here alone for other things, and happened to bump into them.

At that time, Yu Changle had seen the cave behind Shen Yuanting, and the furnishings inside looked like private prisoners.Thinking about it now, Yu Changle realized what it might be.

"Master Shen's house still has such a place?" A monk said, he also found out, and said in surprise, "On that snowy slope... there is a spirit of the spirit array!"

Ao Yan brushed off the snow on his shoulders, his expression darkened: "There is still the smell of blood."

"Let's go." Yu Changle didn't say much, and Yu Jian flew to the snow slope.

As it got closer, the aura became more and more obvious.The smell of blood was not covered by the wind and snow, and pierced into the nostrils. There were blood dripping on the white snow, which had not been buried yet.

All the formations in the cave were opened, leaving behind a bunch of messy marks.The previous visitors seemed to be in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to cover up.Yu Changle gestured and said softly, "Be careful."

He and Ao Yan entered first, and the smell of blood came out one after another, and it was decadent and unknown.But there is no sound.

Is Shen Yan in there?Yu Changle frowned, and stepped over a few steps, only to see an empty cave with iron fences on one side and simple furniture on the other side.

On the ground, blood splattered all the way from the hole, ending at a table and a small stool, with a lot of blood on it.It should be Shen Yan who dragged his stump into the hole, sat on the stool for a while, and left again.

"Shen Yan is not here!" Yu Changle turned his head and said.

He guessed right, Shen Yuanting did come to this cave, but he left again for some reason.

The monks behind also followed.

"What is this?" The spiritual master was taken aback and said dumbfounded, "Patriarch Shen... what is this place?"

The area enclosed by the iron fence on one side of the cave was clearly a prison cell.

The dark and cold fence encloses a boxy room, with simple tables, chairs, bed boards, and even more strangely, a huge ice coffin.

Judging from the traces, this prison is not young.The iron chains were hanging down everywhere, but now the things locked in the iron rings had disappeared, and the lid of the ice coffin was also opened, only the cold air came out.

The blood was still fresh, and even had a hot and flowing texture. Just looking at this scene, one could tell how serious Shen Yan's injury was.

"Where's Shen Tingyun? Have you run away?"

"Why is he still coming back? Why did he leave here after being seriously injured?"

"What is this cell used for? Is it a private prisoner of the Shen family?"

"Who's private prison is only so small? This is obviously prepared for one person!"

Yin Ziwen came out from behind and said leisurely, "This is the place where Shen Yan imprisoned Zhong Yi."

"What did you say?!" A monk yelled out, his face full of shock.

"Wait, didn't Patriarch Shen say that Zhong Yi was found by him a while ago?"

"This is too..."

"Do you believe in lies? Don't you have any brains?" Ao Yan sarcastically said, "I'm afraid that Zhong Yi has always been in his hands, so I will be imprisoned here."

"Then... what happened to Zong Yunzi's demon blood?"

"It's Shen Yan's conspiracy." Yu Changle said, "He turned Zong Yunzi into this. Zong Yunzi is a human being. If you don't believe me..."

He raised his eyes and looked at Yin Ziwen, who didn't dodge, "If you have doubts, you can ask this fairy friend. He knows more than me."

"Ridiculous!" Someone blurted out, "Turning people into demons, how can there be such absurd things in the world?"

Yu Changle asked back: "Patriarch Shen himself is a half-demon, isn't that even more absurd?"

"..."

"It's true." Yin Ziwen smiled, "I have - quite a lot of evidence, and when Shen Yan dies, I can show you one by one."

"You?...Then who are you?" Someone asked in surprise, for some reason, a person who endorsed several monsters suddenly appeared in their team.

"I can say that I have worked under Patriarch Shen." Yin Zi heard.

Chaos, chaos!Why is there another former subordinate?

All the spiritual masters were like quails with their beaks cut off for a while, without saying a word.

Without him, when they heard that Shen Yuanting did not deny that he was also a half-demon, all of them who were watching were stunned.This fact has not been fully digested, and now I tell them such news, how do they accept it?

Yu Changle ignored the congregation of monks, while they were talking, he had already stepped forward to the blood-stained chair: "Shen Yan has indeed been here, did he want to take something away?"

Arriving here with a seriously injured body was definitely not to leave blood on the ground and give them clues in vain.There must be something important here, driving him to come and get it even when he is about to die.

Ao Yan stretched out his hand, groped the stone wall next to the chair a few times with his slender fingers, and said, "It's hollow."

Yu Changle held the scabbard instead, and knocked it cleverly, and the stone wall cracked open.The fracture should have been buried with a formation, so it wouldn't be easily opened like this, but Shen Yan came in a hurry, and only had time to close the stone wall, so he didn't care about defending and ambush the formation.

It was empty, of course, but it allowed them to see the size of the thing.

Not big, maybe you can hold it in one hand.There are also some burnt ash-like particles scattered inside.

Yu Changle read it a few more times without giving up, but the clue was broken here.He had no choice but to turn around, but when he got to the entrance of the cave, he heard the group of monks talking, and he couldn't feel the corners of his mouth twitching.

"...What?! Even the tattoo print was made by him?"

"Shen Yan, you are too deceitful!"

"What's the use of keeping such aristocratic families? There must be someone else to replace them!"

"This cell is evidence. On the surface, he looks like a gentleman, but he doesn't know what he's doing in private."

"It's a pity Zong Yunzi..."

With a smile, Yin Ziwen occasionally interjected a few words in the circle of people, easily mobilizing everyone into a situation full of righteous indignation.Is it really so exciting?In fact, it may not be necessary, but it is just a good-looking skin to overthrow and carve up the first family with a high-sounding sound.

They may not trust the two "monsters" Yu Changle and Ao Yan, but Yin Ziwen is a real human being, and he was in the same camp as them before.

Or, the identities of Yu Changle and Ao Yan are not important at all.Even if Shen Yuanting has promoted the change of the atmosphere for decades, Shen Yuanting is the only one who really hates monsters. These big family figures or casual cultivators only want to profit from it.

Yu Changle said: "Calm down, everyone. Since Shen Yan is no longer here, it's time for us to take the next step."

"Then... find another group of people?" One person asked uncertainly, "I don't know if there is any result from them."

Yu Changle shook his head and said, "No."

In addition to bloodstains, there are traces left by the teleportation array at the entrance of the cave, and it is a long-term teleportation array that consumes a lot of energy.

Shen Yuanting's life is not long, and if he dared to open another formation like this, he already looked extremely crazy and desperate.Where would he want to go most at this moment?If he had planned for himself, one day he was about to die, where would he choose to end?

And this place wasn't his own Shen family, where else could it be?

Yu Changle and Ao Yan looked at each other, and said at the same time: "Xiurong Xianfu Mountain!"

Xiurong, at the foot of Xianfu Mountain.

The divine way of Baiyu has not been cleaned for decades, and the once transparent color has faded to grayish white.No one has repaired it, and the Shinto path is still wide, but there are many fractures, and weeds grow on the fractures. Only the stone carvings of gods and beasts on both sides can vaguely see the prosperity of the Zhong family back then.

It is barren and old, but it has a different kind of sacredness.

Sporadic blood dripped on the Shinto, all the way up, like a pilgrim exhausted the last bit of blood.

Yu Changle walked on the divine way, and this place is no longer the same as what he saw in his memory.Ao Yan didn't speak, just identified the bloodstains together with him.The spiritual master who followed behind stepped on the white jade under his feet, and discussed in a low voice.

Everyone has a premonition in their hearts that this will be the end.

"Someone." Halfway through, Yu Changle suddenly stopped and said.Everyone held their breaths and concentrated, guarding against possible ambush by Shen Yuanting.

I saw a figure appearing on the platform in the middle of the Shinto in front of me.There were clouds and mist halfway up the mountain, and the man in the mist lowered his head, held a sword in both hands, and was standing in front of them.

Ao Yan's expression changed slightly, Yu Changle saw the man clearly, his pupils shrank slightly, and said: "...Minghua?"

Indeed, there is only one person on the empty Shinto.Standing on the broken jade stone, Shen Minghua raised his head, gritted his teeth and raised his sword, the sharp blade reflected his red eyes.

The two sides remained silent for a long time, Yu Changle put his hand on the sword at his waist, but remained motionless.Finally, Shen Minghua spoke, his voice trembling a little, and said, "Yu Changle...you already knew about it, didn't you?"

"You're going to kill my father... aren't you?"
