Capital.

The capital of China, with many high-rise buildings, is a metropolis with a population of tens of millions.

It is not only modern and prosperous, but also has a long and splendid civilization, and the Forbidden City Palace in Beijing is the most famous historical site.

Of course, in addition to its prosperity and long history, as the capital of a country, the capital also has countless cultivation forces.

It can be described as the land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

The capital of a country, backed by the Kyoto Mountains, can be said to be the center of Chinese cultivators.

The Shen family is one of the top ten families in the capital.

Although it is called one of the ten major families, it is very famous.

But these ten families are only inconspicuous in the capital.

Because in the capital of the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, there are also the top ten martial king families, the top ten martial emperor families and so on.

The Shen family is only one of the top ten grandmaster families, and in other cities, it may be a powerful existence that cannot be ignored.

But in the capital, it is very ordinary.

Li Chen and Shen Biru, as soon as they came to the capital, they came to the Shen family.

The Shen family, located in a prosperous place in the capital, is an antique garden building.

On both sides of the gate, there is a majestic stone lion.

And there are cultivators, guarding in front of the gate of the mansion.

Seeing Li Chen and Shen Biru approaching, several cultivators on the door immediately stopped the two of them: "This is the Shen family, and idle people are not allowed to trespass." ”

Li Chen looked at these cultivators, showed Shen Biru with his hand, and said indifferently: "This is the grandson of the old man of the Shen family, and she came from Lingnan Cloud City to meet the old man of the Shen family. ”

Several cultivators on the gate couldn't help but glance at each other, and the cultivators led by them said to Li Chen with suspicion: "How can we believe that she is the granddaughter of the old lady?"

Shen Biru stretched out her hand into her arms, took out a piece of white and flawless jade pendant, carved the word "Shen" on it, and said to the cultivator: "This is the heirloom jade that my grandfather gave to my father at the beginning, this can always prove my identity, right?"

The cultivator led by him looked at the white jade pendant in Shen Biru's hand and recognized that this was the most important token of the Shen family, so he no longer doubted it.

"It turned out to be the young lady of the Shen family, so I'll go and report to the second master. The cultivator said with a hint of respect on his face.

Shen Biru said: "Then please go and report to the second uncle." ”

After the cultivator said a little later, he went in to report it.

After about ten minutes, the cultivator who had gone in to report came back, and said to Li Chen and Shen Biru with a smile on his face, "Second Master, please go in." ”

Li Chen and Shen Biru nodded.

Then, this cultivator led the way, and Li Chen and Shen Biru followed closely behind and entered the Shen family.

In the Shen family manor, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the scenery is picturesque, and people walking in it are like swimming in the painting.

Soon, Li Chen and Shen Biru followed this cultivator to the depths of the manor, a quiet and wide courtyard, surrounded by attics and green trees.

Li Chen and Shen Biru, as soon as they arrived at this courtyard, they felt that something was wrong.

At this time, the cultivator who led the way said to Li Chen and the others, "You wait here for a while, and the second master will come immediately." ”

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Li Chen's face, and he said, "Your second master, I'm afraid you've already come! I just don't know, why don't you come out to meet people, is it difficult to see people?"

The sound of squeaking open the door suddenly sounded one after another.

Then, I saw that the attic around the courtyard closed its doors, and all of them were opened at once.

Then, from the attic, twenty or thirty cultivation masters quickly jumped out.

Li Chen saw that these cultivation masters who came out of the attic were all the strength of ancient martial arts masters.

He didn't take it to heart.

That's right, the reason why he knew that the second master of the Shen family had come was that as soon as he arrived at this courtyard, he found that in the attics around him, there were cultivators hiding secretly.

Therefore, he suddenly felt that this second master of the Shen family was probably not a good person.

Otherwise, Shen Biru was his niece and came to the Shen family, but he secretly arranged a cultivator in the attic.

This is obviously trying to be unfavorable to Shen Biru.

Li Chen frowned slightly, and a glint flashed in his eyes, if this second master of the Shen family wanted to be unfavorable to Biru, even if he was Biru's relative, Li Chen would never let him go.

At this moment, from an attic, a fifty-year-old man walked out, with a tuft of gray beard on his chin, and walked out laughing: "Hahaha...... My good niece, you have come to the capital, my uncle misses you and your father!"

The old man who walked out with a big smile was none other than Shen Yutang, the second master of the Shen family.

Although Shen Yutang had a smile on his face, as if he was very enthusiastic, Li Chen and Shen Biru could clearly feel that Shen Yutang's smile and enthusiasm were all pretended.

Not really happy and enthusiastic.

This made Li Chen more and more sure that this Shen Yutang must have a ghost in his heart.

And at this moment, Li Chen's gaze suddenly fell on him, a middle-aged cultivator with a scar on his face, looking hideous and ruthless.

When Li Chen looked at this man with a scar on his face, this person also looked at Li Chen coldly.

There was a hint of hostility in his eyes.

At this moment, this middle-aged man with a scar, his lips attached to Shen Yutang's ear, his lips squirmed, and he seemed to be saying something in Shen Yutang's ear in an extremely low voice.

Although other people couldn't hear what the middle-aged man with a scarred face said, Li Chen had heard well, but he could hear it clearly.

"Master, last time you asked me to go to Lingnan and get rid of Shen Yucheng's family, I was destroyed by this person, and he was Li Chen. ”

Listening to what the scar man said, Shen Yutang's face sank suddenly, and his eyes looked at Li Chen sharply.

That's right, this scar man is Tie Ying, a cronie sent by Shen Yutang to Lingnan with the intention of killing Shen Yucheng's family.

"It turns out that last time the Poisonous Blood Gate and the Zheng family wanted to harm my family, you did it!" At this moment, Shen Biru said in a voice of disbelief and anger.

Li Chen knew that what Tie Ying said in Shen Yutang's ear just now, Shen Biru heard it.

However, Li Chen also knew that after more than ten days of retreat and cultivation in the mountain range, with the help of the elixir, Shen Biru, who had broken through the fifth and sixth realms of the Nine Yin Veins, could be said to be now strong enough to crush the immortal cultivators to all the following strengths.

No matter how whispered Tie Ying was, he couldn't steal Shen Biru's ears.

Shen Yutang's face showed a look of surprise, obviously he didn't expect that what Tie Ying said in his ear would be heard by Shen Biru.

But he didn't care, Shen Biru heard it, this is the Shen family, and Shen Biru and Li Chen are just two people, he doesn't believe that the two of them can fly away from him.

"That's right, I did ask Tie Ying to go to the master of the Poisonous Blood Sect, the head of the Zheng family, and let them kill you, but you didn't kill you. ”

When Shen Yutang said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled coldly: "However, today you sent it to the door by yourself, and I won't let you leave alive." ”

Li Chen looked at the twenty or thirty cultivators in the courtyard, and said to Shen Yutang, "You don't want to kill us just with such a few people, right?"
