TFHS: Chapter 113

The moment Shi Yan arrived, the four essence dan realm experts staying in the valley could no longer maintain their original composure.

It was because Shi Yan’s strength was higher than theirs. Even if they were all strong in the essence dan realm, there were still strong and weak ones among them.

Shi Yan’s combat effectiveness was no worse than the peak of the essence dan realm.

“Why is this old guy here? Does he also want to get a share of the legacy of the Netherworld Valley?”

“Wait for me to go out and meet him for a while. The plants are protected by the formation restrictions. Even if Shi Yan wants to rob it, things won’t be that easy.”

“Okay.”

Shi Yan came to the sky above the valley without any intention of restraining his aura. He looked wildly at the cultivators below, trying to find his grandson and see if his grandson had really come to the vicinity of the valley as was written in that message.

The reason why he didn’t restrain his aura was to tell his grandson that his grandfather was coming. It was also to deter others not to disturb Shi Yan’s work.

“Fellow Daoist Shi.” A cultivator flew out of the valley and cupped his hands towards Shi Yan. “I wonder why Fellow Daoist Shi is here?”

Cultivator Zhong saw a person flying out and introduced him to Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo. “Do you see it? This is someone working in the City Lord’s Mansion of Pingwang City. His surname is Huang, and his name is Shen. He is in the early stage of the essence dan realm.”

It was precisely because he was in the early stage of the essence dan realm that he was two small realms below Shi Yan. He might have a position in the City Lord’s Mansion of Pingwang City, but Huang Shen was still polite in front of Shi Yan.

If they really fought, he wouldn’t be Shi Yan’s opponent. Shi Yan might not let him off lightly just for the sake of the lord of Pingwang City.

Shi Yan’s brow furrowed, and he glanced around. There were no traces of his grandson. Was the message wrong? Did it deceive him?

Shu Yan didn’t have a good tone towards Huang Shen, who had come out. “I came here to look for my grandson. Some people said that he was seen near here. I don’t want to participate in your activities.”

He always looked down on these things. Every time the aristocratic family forces found something good, they would first encircle it and put their own label on it.

If other cultivators and forces wanted to rob it, this was going against them. Bah, they were so shameless. Why not encircle the entire Feihong Continent and make it their own?

Shi Yan, who had climbed from the bottom to his current position, had suffered at the hands of many aristocratic families. These were the things he despised the most.

If they were put on the same starting point as the middle and low level cultivators, he dared to say that the losers would be most members of the aristocratic families.

The disdainful tone made Huang Shen and the three people in the valley very angry. However, due to Shi Yan’s strength, Huang Shen had to endure it. “It turns out that Fellow Daoist Shi is looking for your grandson. If you had said it earlier, I would’ve asked someone to help search for him.”

These words softened Shi Yan’s expression a bit. He couldn’t show anger towards the person who reached out to help him. Shi Yan wasn’t an ungrateful person.

Seeing this, Huang Shen knew that this was suitable for Shi Yan’s taste. Regardless of whether it was true or not, Huang Shen summoned the people he had brought with him and whispered some instructions.

His subordinates immediately accepted the order. In fact, they had already received news that Shi Yan was searching for his grandson. The young master of the Cheng family was separated from his companions in the Nandou Mountains and disappeared. His whereabouts were still unknown. The possibility of him being alive was extremely slim.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yan came here. It wasn’t known if someone deliberately lured him here or he came on his own.

No one seriously thought that Shi Yan had no interest in the legacy palace in the Netherworld Valley. Some people judged that the legacy palace was probably related to a soul opening realm cultivator, so they wouldn’t allow other forces to come and participate.

Shi Yan was a very threatening opponent.

They couldn’t let Shi Yan run ahead of them, breaking through the essence dan realm to become a powerful person in the soul opening realm. It was an accident that he had his current strength. If he was to take another step forward, it would greatly threaten the power and status of all their forces.

At the same time, Huang Shen was scolding the Cheng family in his heart for not caring about the other person’s identity as a ger and bringing the person into the Nandou Mountains.

Now that ger was the best existence to contain Shi Yan. If something happened to the ger, it wasn’t known how crazy this guy would act.

Shi Yan was negotiating with Huang Shen over there. Feng Ming lowered his voice and asked Cheng Miao, “Don’t you have a contact bead to contact your grandfather?”

He patted his head. Why had he never thought of this? If there was a contact bead then it was naturally very convenient to contact the other person.

Cheng Miao raised his head towards his grandfather. “The contact bead fell off when I encountered the silver-horned wolves. By the time I remembered it, I found it was no longer with me, so I couldn’t contact my grandfather.”

Feng Ming also guessed it when he asked this question. He patted Cheng Miao sympathetically on the shoulder. It was either an accidental fall, or someone deliberately ruined it.

This was a really pitiful guy. He obviously had a strong backer, but he turned out to be such a pitiful person.

Cheng Miao’s eyes flashed. He asked Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo, “What will happen if my grandfather snatches the seven-leaf insect flower plant?”

Feng Ming was surprised. “Do you want your grandfather to enter the palace in the Netherworld Valley?”

Cheng Miao nodded. “I want my grandfather to become stronger. Maybe the palace in the Netherworld Valley will be a good opportunity for him. How will I know it won’t help if I don’t give it a try?”

What a good guy. Feng Ming reevaluated Cheng Miao a few times. This person was ambitious and had the same idea as him.

He also hoped that his master and own father would be stronger, so that his backing would be stronger. If someone dared to bully him, he would let his master or father go forward.

Cultivator Zhong and the others also heard it. They looked at Shi Yan in mid-air, as well as Senior Huang Shen, who had come out of the valley and hadn’t retreated.

To be honest, compared to Huang Shen and other essence dan realm experts, they hoped that Shi Yan would get the chance.

If the aristocratic families gained the opportunity, would it bring any benefits to these small mercenary teams? Not even a little bit.

Meanwhile, Shi Yan was different. Not only was he more inspirational and a role model for mercenaries, but with him around, the aristocratic families would be more restrained in their actions. This was good for them.

Feng Ming touched his chin. “If you think so, it is best to find a way to communicate with your grandfather to prevent your grandfather from hurriedly looking for your whereabouts. If he knows that you are safe, your grandfather can let go and do things.”

“It seems that the legacy palace in the Netherworld Valley has a big background, or it wouldn’t have alerted these big family forces to join together to block the valley and prevent outsiders from entering. But due to this, some seniors will definitely take the risk to sneak in. It seems quite peaceful right now, but once the seven-leaf insect flower plants mature, the ghosts and monsters hidden in the darkness will probably emerge. If there is chaos, your grandfather will have a greater chance when taking action.”

Bai Qiaomo also agreed. “That’s right. So is there any way to contact your grandfather or someone close to your grandfather?”

Seeing Feng Ming’s interest in causing trouble, the adventure factor in Bai Qiaomo’s heart took over. It was too peaceful now. It would be more interesting when it was chaotic.

At that time, they could see if they could fish in troubled waters. It would attract the least attention at this time.

Since the black crystal turtle coveted the things in the valley so much, maybe it would be of great benefit to improving the bloodline of the black crystal turtle. This meant they couldn’t miss it.

Cultivator Zhong took a look. He saw that even though Shi Yan was followed by a few subordinates, a small mercenary team like theirs didn’t have access to the top executives of the Golden Eagle mercenary group. All they knew were the people below, so there was really no way to send this letter.

As Shi Yan’s only grandson, was Cheng Miao really helpless?”

Cheng Miao gritted his teeth. He glanced at his grandfather again, and his eyes firmed up. “In fact, there is a way.”

“What is it?” Feng Ming said excitedly, hoping that the world would be in chaos.

Cheng Miao said, “My grandfather left me a treasure that can be activated at critical moments, but the consumption every time I use it is too great. If I use it once, I will be weak for a long time.”

Feng Ming looked at Bai Qiaomo. What treasure? Forgive him for not knowing much about these treasures.

Bai Qiaomo suspected that the treasure on Cheng Miao’s body was probably a spirit medium treasure that was stored in his dantian or soul sea and had a special function.

In his previous life, he had seen such spirit medium treasures with special functions. As the only bloodline that Shi Miao valued most, it wasn’t impossible for Shi Yan to place the treasure on his grandson after obtaining it.

Bai Qiaomo, who was well-informed, whispered a few words to Feng Ming. Feng Ming was surprised., “Can it still be like this?”

Bai Qiaomo nodded. Both Cheng Miao and Cultivator Zhong didn’t know what they were talking about.

Feng Ming excitedly took a bead from his neck and stuffed it into Cheng Miao’s hands. “I will lend you this Green Yuan Bead. You can use the energy in the Green Yuan Bead to activate the treasure. This will reduce your consumption as much as possible. If it doesn’t work, I still have pills ready. You can use it boldly.”

Feng Ming’s actions startled a few people. The Green Gathering Bead might be the spirit medium treasure but the Green Yuan Bead still wasn’t something that could be obtained casually.

Looking at Feng Ming’s attitude, it seemed that he didn’t take the Green Yuan Bead too seriously. Wasn’t he worried about not getting it back after giving it away?

It just so happened that Cheng Miao was also someone who had seen many good things. He was only pleasantly surprised when he saw the Green Yuan Bead. “It can be borrowed. I’ll try it now.”

In any case, Brother Da Qiao and Brother Xiao Qiao were here. His grandfather was also here. Even if he was weak for a while, the impact wouldn’t be big. At most, he could go back to recuperate.

However, the opportunity was rare. He was even more unwilling to let his grandfather miss such a good opportunity. Why couldn’t his grandfather participate and receive the vigilance of those essence dan realm powerhouses?

Cheng Miao rarely wanted to fight for anything, but this time, he wanted his grandfather to fight.

Cheng Miao held the Green Yuan Bead in his hand, closed his eyes, and started to communicate with the treasure in his body.

It didn’t take long for Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo to sense that the vital energy in the Green Yuan Bead was being absorbed by something in Cheng Miao’s body. The Green Yuan Bead was obviously useful.

Huang Shen was on guard while Shi Yan continued to search around, unwilling to miss any opportunity.

The longer Shi Yan delayed, the more worried Huang Shen and the other three people in the valley became about him and the more they felt that the search for his grandson was just an excuse. He wanted to participate and steal the seven-leaf insect flower plant.

Suddenly, Shi Yan’s eyebrows moved. Something on his body was touched, and a voice was heard.

“Grandpa, Grandpa, your grandson is fine. I am here in the valley and I’m very safe. Grandpa, don’t give up this opportunity for me. My friend said that there might be chaos here later. It won’t be too late for you to take action.”

Shi Yan’s heart moved. He determined his grandson’s location in the next moment and he almost couldn’t help looking towards the determined location.

But no, his grandson’s location couldn’t be exposed for the time being. Obviously, no one realized that his grandson was really here.

His grandson’s intention was very obvious. His grandson hoped that he could seize the opportunity to go further. This was actually what Shi Yan wanted to do, but before that, his grandson’s safety was more important than anything else.

The moment he finished speaking, Cheng Miao’s body softened. Feng Ming immediately supported him and quickly stuffed two pills into his mouth. Both of them were best-grade pills that could replenish Cheng Miao’s consumption faster.
