Chapter 222: A Good Show
"Who knows which peak that foul-mouthed kid is from? Acting all high and mighty, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"
"I don't know, he looks quite young, probably a newcomer."
"It's also possible that he's a scholar, right?"
"He probably isn't a scholar. Scholars can't imitate that kind of arrogant attitude, claiming to be the best in the world."
"It seems like you have a very accurate understanding of yourself."
The disciple who received the imperial decree to become a mountain god had a bit of a bad temper. He was the type to become arrogant after achieving success. The law enforcement disciples were worried that he would be beaten to death, so they escorted him away. However, the disciples who were mocking him were still angry and discussing among themselves.
What no one knew was that after bidding farewell to the law enforcement disciples, this disciple transformed into a flying insect in a secluded place, shaking off countless pursuers who were tracking him, and secretly arrived at the Chu family's estate.
Upon reaching the interior of the Chu family's gathering place for concubines, he landed on the ground and transformed back into human form.
Numerous Chu family concubines gathered around, anxiously inquiring,
"Husband, how did it go? Did the plan succeed?"
"Husband, no one noticed any flaws, right?"
"Husband, husband, your transformation technique is so amazing, can I learn it?"
This person is actually Chu Shen!
"Take it easy, I'll explain slowly," he reassured the excited concubines and proceeded to explain the details of this operation.
It turns out that there are many spies from various factions around the Chu family manor, making it inconvenient to act. Fortunately, he has obtained the "Seventy-Two Transformations" and no one knows about this ability. With this advantage, he can come and go conveniently and his actions can also be unexpected by all parties.
On one hand, he pretended that his return to the Chu family manor this time was really to take care of affairs, in order to confuse the surrounding spies.
On the other hand, he secretly activated certain ancient prohibitions in Lingyang Cave using the method informed by the Tree Granny.
In this era, few people know that those caves in the Hidden Immortal Cave are actually the tombs of "grassroots civil servants" who fell during the ancient court period for various reasons.
The images left behind from those old times are created using Divine Ability power to form virtual and real spaces. If they have not been washed away and ruined by the river of time, they can only be unlocked with special methods, serving as a way for the fallen to be remembered by their relatives and friends when they visit the graves.
The so-called opportunities are the offerings used by the fallen or their relatives and friends to express their grief.
But today's cultivators do not have such taboos. If they can obtain opportunities, whether as offerings or companions for the fallen, they have no restrictions.
"This fishing expedition was very successful. I used myself as bait and indeed attracted the attention of various forces. In addition, the commotion caused by the unsealing of Lingyang Cave was relatively small, so their attention to the opportunities in Lingyang Cave has decreased significantly.
I secretly observed that the disciples sent by various aristocratic families were all second or third-rate, and the disciples sent by the inner court's immortal peaks were not strong either. They are not as good as the spies around our family. Obviously, they did not raise the level of attention to this opportunity."
As a result, this time, by chance, the Imperial Decree Mountain God Order, a treasure like this, came out. It will definitely make these people regret it to the point of turning green with envy.
The greatest significance of the Imperial Decree Mountain God Order for Lingyang Jun is not the personal strength enhancement for the owner, but the commanding power it possesses in the ancient Lingyang region.
This commanding power is far more important for the improvement of the family and sect's influence than the enhancement of personal strength.
Not to mention anything else, the ability to command the mountain spirits and forest monsters in this region is such an astonishing power.
With this Mountain God Order, one can completely establish major branches or sects in the ancient Lingyang region.
Each peak and aristocratic family in the Langxuan Heavenly Palace has a certain degree of separation power. If they could obtain this Mountain God Order, they would have an opportunity to establish a separate base. Unfortunately, they missed it. I'm sure those related to the separation power are feeling regretful, right?
"Don't talk about those people. If I had known that the ruins opened by my husband this time would unearth the Imperial Decree Mountain God Order and it would be taken by someone else, I would have been heartbroken," Fu Yunsheng said beside him.
The Imperial Decree Mountain God Order represents a foundation and is also an earth attribute treasure. When she said this, Chu Shen knew that she had her eyes on this treasure. He laughed and casually took it out and threw it to her, saying, "Are you still heartbroken now?"
Fu Yunsheng received the Mountain God Order, with a silly smile on her face, looking at the small thing that resembled an official seal with a mesmerized look, saying, "No longer heartbroken, I'm happy."
Chu Shen smiled and said, "You can use this thing, it's a bargain for you."
Turning his head to look at the others, he said, "Next time, I'll get one for all of you too."
The concubines wanted to say that they didn't envy Fu Yunsheng's shamelessness for daring to take action, but that would be a lie. However, with Chu Shen's promise, their previous worries disappeared into thin air.
He Yunyu casually flicked his hair and said on behalf of others, "We believe in our husband. Husband, please continue and tell us your plans for the future."
Chu Shen nodded and said, "With this rehearsal, the next time anomalies appear in the relics, those prominent families or forces with independent ideas will definitely actively invest manpower and resources to seize them. I will make them regret it."
"That senior sister of mine is too weak towards these separatist elements. She has spoiled them, otherwise how would they dare to target disciples from the Wugong Palace?"
"We need to teach them a lesson and let them know not to cross the line!"
The phrase "dare to target disciples from the Wugong Palace" naturally refers to Chu Shen being targeted by the Chu family multiple times. He does not hide his resentment towards those who covet his family, nor does he hide his desire for revenge.
The women also agreed that he did the right thing and nodded in agreement.
"Wait, husband, I think you should provoke those people a little more and not rush to close the net!" Fu Yunsheng, who had shifted her attention from the Imperial Mountain God Order, raised her hand and said.
Chu Shen asked, "What is your opinion?"
Fu Yunsheng said, "For many years, there have been no anomalies in the relics. Suddenly, there are consecutive anomalies, which easily arouses suspicion."
Chu Shen nodded and said, "That makes sense. In the past hundred years, the only anomaly occurred when you obtained the relic of the ancient quicksand formation. In addition, the Lingyang Cave has already had opportunities. If we open another relic in a short period of time, it may raise suspicions of a trap."
Fu Yunsheng nodded and said, "So we need to make those people develop a habitual way of thinking in order to dispel their doubts and hook them better... Husband, it's better to open a few smaller relics to entice those who have ulterior motives. When they invest enough power, we can catch them all at once!"
This method does make sense, but Chu Shen always felt that Fu Yunsheng had her own motives for saying this. He asked, "Are you trying to gain more benefits from each relic?"
