Chapter 530: Chapter 526: Shi Yuezhu Seems to Have Settled Down

Qingyun’s face was tinged with anger.

She was feeling somewhat furious now, or rather, she was quite enraged.

The situation she found herself in today was entirely due to Shen Han’s actions.

This scene was witnessed by the entire Inner Domain.

Qingyun hails from Snow Mountain House, and even if she doesn’t value this connection greatly, considering the influence of the Immortal Bow Mansion, this should not have been the case.

"What exactly is going on? Who spread this news?"

Jun Wumo managed to remain somewhat composed, but he felt a bit worried inside, as if he had a vague inkling about something.

"Young Master, some news has actually been spreading for quite some time, but I couldn’t ascertain its truth earlier.

Moreover, you have been accompanying Miss Qingyun these past few days, so it was indeed difficult for me to bring it up.

But today, the Jun Family has already received confirmed information, proving that the previous rumors were true."

Jun Wumo frowned and stared at him just like that.

This person had been by Jun Wumo’s side for some time, and after hesitating for a moment, he started to explain.

"A few days ago, the people from the Celestial Sword Sect came to the sect as agreed.

That Shen Han was among them.

However, it’s been said that something major happened on the day they entered the Forbidden Land.

Apparently... it’s said that Shen Han ventured deep into the Forbidden Land.

Not only did he enter, but he could also practice normally inside..."

Jun Wumo’s subordinate spoke hesitantly, his eyes constantly darting towards him.

Seemingly afraid of Jun Wumo’s anger, he chose his words very carefully.

"So what if he went deeper into the Forbidden Land?

Having offended the Immortal Bow Mansion, Shen Han will not live long.

We at the Immortal Bow Mansion excel in the art of assassination; even if Qingyun becomes useless in the future, considering the mansion’s prestige, the master will definitely make Shen Han pay."

As she spoke, hatred flared in Qingyun’s eyes.

It was clearly she who first attempted to kill Shen Han.

Finding herself in this situation, a monstrous hatred instead welled up in her heart.

After she finished speaking, Jun Wumo’s attendant shook his head.

"Miss Qingyun, this time you are mistaken. The deep layer Shen Han ventured into isn’t just any depth.

We all know that the deepest layer of the Forbidden Land that can currently be accessed is the 18th layer.

Presently, the only person able to practice there is Miss Yao Wanning.

But this time, Shen Han reached an even deeper layer..."

A single mention of an even deeper layer revealed much.

Even Jun Wumo frowned and raised his gaze.

"Which layer did he reach?"

"From what I’ve heard, the news says it’s the 22nd layer..."

The 22nd layer, the 22nd layer...

The Forbidden Land of Snow Mountain House only has 22 layers!

This is the deepest part of the Forbidden Land, an area that no one has ever ventured into before.

"What did you just say?!"

"Young Master, you did not mishear; it is indeed the 22nd layer...

It seems Shen Han is completely unaffected by the Forbidden Land’s suppression; the 22nd layer did not limit him in the slightest.

There were many witnesses present at the time; it cannot be mistaken, they all saw it.

But since the sect demanded everyone not to spread the news, we only confirmed it today..."

Yao Wanning, who could practice in the 18th layer, was cherished like a treasure within Snow Mountain House.

Jun Wumo himself was greatly valued for stepping into the 15th layer.

What kind of treatment would await someone capable of stepping into the 22nd layer...

Jun Wumo appeared somewhat flustered, considering if, as a condition for reconciliation, Shen Han demanded that he and Qingyun be punished.

There is a possibility that even Snow Mountain House would directly agree.

Currently, Qingyun’s hands were already crippled.

Could she still garner the attention of the Immortal Bow Mansion?

Moreover, with Shen Han being able to step into the 22nd layer for practice, his sect would definitely hold him in high regard.

Though helping the Yao Family, now, it seemed, he was the one injured.

"Young Master, the Patriarch wants you to return to the Jun Family immediately, perhaps...

Perhaps he might even ask you to apologize to Shen Han..."

These words left both Qingyun and Jun Wumo stunned.

But after collecting himself slightly, Jun Wumo felt that this was not without reason.

The 22nd layer, a person who can enter the 22nd layer of the Forbidden Land; it is only natural for the sect to want to curry favor.

...

Within the Forbidden Land, Fu Tianqi and the others quickly adapted to the cultivation environment there.

The flow of time in the Forbidden Land is slower, providing everyone with more opportunities to make mistakes.

Previous ideas always came with concerns that trying them might be a waste of time.

For young geniuses, wasting even a two-hour period during the golden years before the age of forty is unjustifiable.

However, in here, they can experiment freely.

There is ample time to make mistakes.

Four days passed outside, but within the Forbidden Land, Shen Han had already been there for almost three months.

During these three months, Shen Han continually reflected in his mind, summing up his experiences.

In particular, his confrontation with Qingyun.

The Immortal Bow she wielded genuinely gave Shen Han significant trouble at that time.

If not for the Personal Array accompanying him, the arrows she secretly shot would have been enough to injure him.

Practicing bow technique is indeed a good method for assassination.

At that time, that sense of crisis was also remembered by Shen Han completely in his mind.

Now, as he revisits it, it seems there are many lessons to learn from it.

I still lack sufficient awareness of crisis.

Now that I have seriously injured Qingyun, the Immortal Bow Mansion must see me as an enemy.

Even if it’s not for advancement, I should take this opportunity to enhance my vigilance and crisis prevention ability.

Sitting in the forbidden land, occasionally tired of studying the state of mind, Shen Han would begin to train his divine soul.

In the vast world, I can practice the Divine Soul Technique without any worries.

The Six Paths of the Divine Soul can even engage in mutual combat for practice and training.

Inside this place, Shen Han completely disregards time, his heart thought focused only on cultivation.

The Storage Ring can still be opened here, and the food is enough for me to consume.

If hungry, I eat some food; if tired, I rest directly in the small house.

Here, it truly feels like immersive cultivation.

Half a year passed in a blink.

Half a year inside the 22nd Layer of Forbidden Land, outside, it’s only about nine days.

During these six months, Shen Han feels he has gained a lot.

With progress in his cultivation, the divine souls engage in mutual combat, and Shen Han then uses Soul Power to restore them.

The overall strength of the divine soul has made great strides.

Now, my control over the divine souls is extremely proficient.

And I discovered a secret: my Six Paths of the Divine Soul can use the Military Array Technique.

The military array, originally a means of attack and defense for the Great Wei military, allows soldiers to gather their not-so-formidable individual strength to unleash immense power.

For Shen Han, such large-scale military formations are unnecessary for him.

However, some small troop arrays can be directly applied to his divine souls.

Shen Han tried to let his divine souls use the military arrays he learned from Su Zhensheng.

And he himself serves as the Array Hub for this military array.

The Night Wolf Array is one of those small troop formations commonly used.

In the Great Wei, Su Zhensheng often used this array to harass the enemy forces.

Especially at night, small units penetrate the enemy’s rear, like wolves in the night.

The array is thus named.

Perhaps the creator of Soul Shattering never imagined that the Six Paths of the Divine Soul could be used in conjunction with a military array.

Day by day goes by, same days, repetitive cultivation.

Occasionally it’s tedious, sometimes it feels extraordinarily exhausting.

But within his heart thought, thinking of the Immortal Realm, of being able to return.

The laziness that wanted to relax was also suppressed.

Meanwhile, Shen Han also uses the stories of Senior Yuyou to motivate himself.

Senior Yuyou is already one of the most top-notch powerhouses in the Divine Land, yet he still trains diligently.

As a junior, I truly should not be lazy.

...

In the Great Wei, atop Xiaoyao Peak.

Lately, Shi Yuezhu hasn’t gone to trouble Luo Changping.

Cen Yunzi and a group of Peak Masters from Xiaoyao Peak finally felt a bit relieved.

Luo Changping issued a final ultimatum, stating that the next time Shi Yuezhu makes a move, she will do everything she can to take Shi Yuezhu’s life.

As Shi Yuezhu’s senior brothers and sisters, they are naturally extremely worried about Shi Yuezhu.

Fortunately, recently Shi Yuezhu seems to have figured it out and hasn’t sought out Luo Changping.

The last time Shi Yuezhu left Xiaoyao Peak, she took a trip south.

Cen Yunzi, worried, followed quietly along with another Peak Master.

Heading south, they left the borders of the Great Wei and crossed over the land of Yexuan, continuing further south.

Their destination was almost bordering the Land of the Far South.

In the end, Shi Yuezhu searched around the outskirts of the Land of the Far South.

It’s unclear what she was looking for, but ultimately she found nothing.

She searched for a total of four days before finally returning to Xiaoyao Peak.

For the following two months after returning, Shi Yuezhu seemed to stay quiet.

During this period, she remained in secluded cultivation on her Moon Bamboo Peak.

However, this peace didn’t last long. Yesterday, Shi Yuezhu told the maidservants on her peak.

She would be going out again.

This news reached the other Peak Masters’ ears, and their brows furrowed once more.

Before 7:00 AM, as the sky was just slightly bright, Shi Yuezhu was prepared to set out.

Stepping on a Flying Sword, she hadn’t yet left Xiaoyao Peak’s domain when she encountered Cen Yunzi and Liu Xilan.

"Senior Brother, Xilan..."

"Come to Senior Brother’s courtyard for a cup of tea; it’s been a while since we siblings had a chat."

Cen Yunzi’s face showed a bit of helplessness, with a trace of anxiety.

After finishing his sentence, he didn’t wait for Shi Yuezhu’s reply and walked ahead.

Beside him, Liu Xilan looked at Shi Yuezhu, her eyes filled with a touch of pleading.

"Junior Master Yuezhu, the Master is truly worried about you..."

After hesitating for a moment, Shi Yuezhu lowered her head slightly and followed behind Cen Yunzi toward his courtyard.

Winter had already set in, and this tall peak, Xiaoyao Peak, had long begun to snow.

In the courtyard, the attendant had already swept the accumulated snow clean.

A stove was set up, on which a pot of tea was brewing.
