The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

The yellow-shirted girl who entered Kyoto was naturally the southern girl Shui Menghan who met Chu Tianxiao at the Emperor's Temple that day.

Since she learned that Chu Tianxiao was about to break through Zhaodu that day, she believed that the overall situation was stable, so she left Zhao and rushed to the capital of the Great Zhou.

If she had a smooth journey, she should have arrived in Kyoto before Chu Tianxiao returned to Beijing.

But due to some changes along the way... the matter was not big, but mainly trouble... In short, after a lot of trouble, Shui Menghan finally chose to return. After settling some matters, she asked Xiaoya to stay and take charge of the overall situation on her behalf, and then went to Kyoto again...

This trip delayed a lot of time, but missed the opportunity to meet Chu Tianxiao again.

Of course... Shui Menghan was not here to find Chu Tianxiao - in fact, because of her "tsundere" idea, she didn't even know Chu Tianxiao's real name now...

This time, she came to find the junior master of Xuanmen.

I have to say that this woman's intuition is quite terrible.

It was as if something was pulling her and calling her... Not long after entering Kyoto, she gradually approached the Chu family's territory in Kyoto, and somehow, she broke into the Chu family's ancestral land at night!

Logically speaking, as the first family of the Divine Marquis, it is impossible for someone to break into the ancestral land without finding anything... But the fact is so incredible... From Chu Zhongtie who was in seclusion to the guards of the Chu family, no one noticed Shui Menghan's arrival...

During this period, every restriction that blocked the road was broken by her special method - a roll of cloud sleeves! What's even more bizarre is that the warnings or sounds that should have been issued when the restrictions were broken also disappeared with the disappearance of the restrictions...

There was silence in the field, with only a beautiful figure constantly shuttling back and forth.

Shui Menghan was seen passing through the Chu family manor, going down along the lakeside, and soon arrived in front of a canyon.

The restrictions in front of the canyon have been completely broken.

After the canyon is the Chu family's ancestral land!

…

…

The Chu family’s ancestral land was created by the ancestors of the Chu family, and there is a different world inside.

There are more than a dozen high towers standing far and near, left and right, each of which is about seven or eight stories high, magnificent and habitable. Many ancestors of the Chu family chose to live in seclusion in the ancestral land for various reasons, tired of the disputes in the secular world, and chose to live in seclusion in the ancestral land. They usually rest their minds here, or understand the truth, or meditate, in short, they are all leisurely.

In addition, some young and powerful people of the Chu family will also come to the ancestral land due to the pressure of the times, in exchange for peace for themselves or their families. These towers have a certain relationship with some "key buildings" of the royal family outside, which can be "powered" by the practitioners here, so as to achieve an effect that is beneficial to the royal family...

This is why the Emperor Zhou issued a "limited family order" as soon as the Purple-Robed Marquis entered the ancestral land. Of course, this "power supply" is regular, and is divided equally by each ancestral land. There is no forced talk, it can be regarded as a transaction.

But no matter what, the ancestral lands of each family actually play a more important role in preserving the "ultimate hidden power" of each dynasty... In addition to the rapidly rising Great Zhao Empire, which still has a weak foundation, the ancestral lands of the top families of the two empires of Zhou and Qin, that "prosperity" is beyond the imagination of ordinary people...

In fact, Shui Menghan ran all the way along the mountain road. After only a short distance, she had already felt the auras of no less than three powerful people in the Spiritual Joy Realm!

There were even more people at the peak of the Soul Enlightenment Realm, and none of them was below this realm!

Although... most of the owners of these auras were asleep, some of them also swept towards her - facing these "ancestor-level" old monsters, even if Shui Menghan had a great background, it was impossible for her to hide her tracks and have a smooth journey...

In just a moment, Shui Menghan was blocked by many powerful soul barriers.

She narrowed her eyes slightly. Even in the face of such a situation, she had no intention of explaining or speaking...

She actually wanted to break through in one battle!

Seeing this, more and more Chu family elders and seniors woke up and stared at Shui Menghan...

With their status, they would naturally not join hands to embarrass a "junior", but if this "junior" has some kind of power that makes them all "palpitate"... that's another matter.

Just when the two sides were quite tense, a distant voice with full of energy came from a distance.

"Let the girl come over."

The faint words fell, but it seemed to carry some great power, and all the breath was restrained for a moment.

The barrier in front disappeared.

Seeing this, Shui Menghan stared slightly, thought about it, nodded, and then flashed in the direction where the voice came from...

...

At the end of the rugged mountain road, there was an empty mountain belly, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers.

Under the moonlight, green shades were everywhere.

As soon as she stepped into this place, Shui Menghan was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that there would be such a landscape deep in the Chu family's ancestral land. However, she didn't come here to appreciate the beautiful scenery. She immediately looked at the only strange place in the center of the mountain - a "temple" standing.

It's called a "temple", but to Shui Menghan, it feels like an invincible and fearless "sky-high sword"...

Her eyes quickly closed, and she felt that her premonition in her heart was finally verified!

"Such awe-inspiring sword energy... In the world, except for the master of Xuanmen who is known as the Sword Emperor, there is only that one person..."

After running all the way and working hard for a long time, I finally saw the hope of "returning to freedom". Despite Shui Menghan's strong will, her body trembled slightly at this moment, and then, her eyes revealed incomparable determination!

She took a step forward and suddenly felt an aura of ancient simplicity, as if this temple had experienced countless years of baptism... However, what concerned her most was the "newness" contained in this ancient aura...

"It's very strong... it's really strong! This temple must have existed for more than a thousand years, and it's probably an ancient ruins, but this person was able to add 'new ideas' to it in a short period of time..."

Shui Menghan could feel that this aura was hindering her from moving forward, but she was already here, how could she not be afraid to move forward?

"Uncle Xuanmen... let me see who you really are!"

Although Shui Menghan already knew that this was the ancestral land of the Chu family before entering the ancestral land, she did not feel that there was any direct relationship between the 'Chu family' and the 'Xuanmen junior uncle', even if the junior junior uncle was really Living as a guest in the Chu family must be just his "surface identity"...

Beings like the Xuanmen Junior Master Uncle can't even find out the secrets of the Nine Heavens Secret Lotus, so how can they not leave some falsehoods behind?

But at this time, Shui Menghan didn't want to see the illusion, she wanted to see the truth!

One step, two steps... With perseverance that is unimaginable to ordinary people, Shui Menghan gritted his silver teeth and approached the ancient temple step by step, and then used all his strength to push open the door.

There was a squeak.

The temple was deserted.

Shui Menghan couldn't help but was stunned... She thought that the existence of such a cold sword energy must be the presence of the Xuanmen Junior Master Uncle, but why... wasn't he?

Could it be...that it was just him practicing his sword, or was it the aura left by nature?

Taking a deep breath to calm down, Shui Menghan stepped forward, and when his golden pupils opened, they immediately illuminated the room...

In the center of the temple, there was a futon. In front of it was a painting. In the painting was a blunt sword without an edge, but Shui Menghan could vaguely see that there was something extraordinary in it...

She also roughly guessed what the junior uncle wanted to do.

So, she walked up to the futon without kneeling. She stood straight and faced the painting, clasping her fists and saluting.

Immediately, a whirlpool of flashing spiritual light appeared in the painting. Shui Menghan didn't hesitate and immediately got rid of the entire purpose of the trip...

For example, fighting against the master of Xuanmen, breaking off an engagement with Xuanmen, being dissatisfied with the young master of Xuanmen...

However, there has been no movement there.

In the field, only the cold wind howled, making the place more desolate.

A full half-quarter of an hour later, a voice from nowhere... just sounded.

There seemed to be all kinds of complexity in the words, casual and joking, admiring and sighing...

"Listen to what you said... that incompetent 'boy' has neither immortal appearance nor unparalleled talent. With your identity and status, even if you don't want to marry that 'Xuanmen Young Master', if you want to find a better It shouldn't be difficult to find a man who is a hundred times stronger, so... why on earth do you want to humiliate yourself and 'marry' him? "

After saying this, Shui Menghan raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was unhappy that outsiders described her 'Xiao Lang' like this - but she didn't know that the person opposite was the most qualified person in the world to say this - but at this time, At this moment, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and snorted softly: "I would like to ask my senior a question... Is it a rule of heaven to choose someone who is a good match? Or is it a commandment?"

"...Huh?" The voice there paused for a moment, and then Shui Menghan burst out "attacking": "Such common things are neither heavenly rules nor iron laws, why should I abide by them? The world is full of greed and hatred. Stupid, how could I do that?"

"...Ha, it's interesting. I never thought that such a father would have such a daughter... Was it taught by that woman back then?" Halfway through that sentence, he suddenly felt a touch of regret, "It's a pity... If you weren't With a father like that, maybe he can really consider treating you as his daughter-in-law——"

Before he finished speaking, Shui Menghan said coldly: "I don't even look down on the young master of the Xuanmen. I have already recognized Xiao Master in this life, so you should find another good wife!"

"..."

When the sound fell, there was a moment of silence.

It seems like I don’t know what to feel...

In short, after a moment of pause, the voice sounded again, but it changed the subject: "...are you really determined and have no regrets?"

Shui Menghan's eyes showed determination and he nodded heavily.

"Then, let's bet."

"If you win, you can go to Xuanmen to cancel the engagement, and no one can stop you."

"And if you lose... you can still go to Xuanmen to cancel the engagement, but you must leave something as a price..."

Upon hearing this, Shui Menghan's eyes suddenly lit up, but she did not lose her mind and quickly asked: "What does senior want?"

There are no riddles here, but straight to the point.

"If you lose...stay, 'Nine Styles of Divine Sword'!"
