Today's Shen Yuan is different from the past, all the disciples in the courtyard are dressed in golden clothes, and guards have been added to each pass in the city, which is more righteous and majestic than in the past.

An old man stood on the stone steps outside the lobby, and a young man behind him was close to him, but his eyes were cold and unwavering, as if he was contemplating something, and the two of them were greeting the guests.

The courtyard is very lively, the pedestrians on the central axis street are endless, most of them are cultivators in the cultivation world, including the major decent people of Xiuzhen, and there are also many members of the scattered cultivation faction to come, it is to go to the meeting hall of the Shen Yuan to discuss important matters, it turns out that today is the day when the Shen Yuan invites all the major sects to come to discuss major matters.

On the street outside the courtyard, there are many people coming and going, and the gate of Guanshen Courtyard has attracted many people to watch, most of them come to see the excitement, and some are still whispering to each other.

And at this time, a man in white, covered with dust, but carrying a wide long sword, squeezed into the crowd, he patted a lively man, and said politely: I disturbed Brother Tai, I don't know what major events happened in Shen Yuan today, why did it attract many people who cultivated the truth.

After the man first settled down, he looked at the man and smiled: It seems that brother, you are not a local, you don't listen to your accent like a person from Xia Tu, no wonder you don't know something.

This person was full of spirit, and continued: Today is the day when Shen Murong, the head of the Shen Yuan of Xia Tu, retires, and the Shen Yuan has sent invitations to all factions in the world, and those who come today are all holding the invitation of the Shen Yuan, so that they can enter your courtyard and witness the demeanor of the Shen Yuan, so today will be particularly lively.

When he heard this, the man was very puzzled, and his face was full of thought, but he couldn't understand it, he thanked the man, turned around, and hurried into the distance.

The man walked along the outside of the Shen Courtyard, going deeper, there were not many pedestrians on the road, but there were many more vendors, their clothes were the same, but their faces were dead, he felt that there must be something strange in this, with his current pulse cultivation, he could feel the breath of these people, and the pulse cultivation was never below him, it was definitely not an ordinary trader, he felt that the danger here was getting stronger, and he should leave as soon as possible.

The man found a remote place, looked around cautiously, and saw that there was no one around, so he picked up the dirt and smeared it on his body and face.

The man remembered which brother's words just now, and said very puzzled: Why did Uncle Shen suddenly want to go into seclusion and withdraw from the Third Academy of Xiuzhen, how did this strange thing about Shen Yuan arise one after another, the master ordered me to come to help Shen Yuan, but why did he not tell the truth, who are the vendors who just hid outside Shen Yuan, it seems that it is not good for Shen Yuan, no wonder the master will order me to come, I am afraid that it has been expected for a long time, there must be something big about this Shen Yuan.

He thought about it, and finally shook his head and said to himself: It's better to see the opportunity to act, saying that he walked to a corner, saw that there was no one around to guard, and then turned over, turned into an afterimage, and sneaked into the Shen Courtyard.

There was already a lot of noise in the Shen Courtyard, and the Great Elder of the Shen Courtyard, Ye Gu, was greeting all kinds of cultivators, introducing them to the Shen Courtyard Hall, while the other Great Elders were also busy greeting on the side, only Shen Feng was still thinking on the side, for him today, his mood had never been so complicated, and others had no way of knowing what he was really thinking.

Shen Yuan inner hall, the wall in the center of the hanging of the first group of silent portraits, and placed a tribute to sacrifice incense, Shen Murong today is wearing a dark gray brocade robe, the overall look is particularly vulgar, at this time he is towards the ancestors' remains, pious bow, that posture is all respectful, after three bows he slowly got up, sighed.

Yin Qing approached him, grabbed him and said: What's the matter, why are you sighing for a long time, you are worried.

Shen Murong turned to look at his wife and said solemnly: I won't tell you, my husband is worried, I'm afraid today... Speaking of this, he paused, and said urgently: Yin Qing, I'm afraid that something bad will happen today, take advantage of the now, you leave quickly with these two things, and I will definitely come to look for you after I deal with this matter, promise me, you must go, not for anything else, just for our children, okay, it is not difficult to see that his solemn face is full of grimness.

Yin Qing let go of her hand, looking at her husband, full of tenderness, she shook her head firmly and said: Murong, you don't have to persuade me, I won't leave, what a nail to cut iron that answer, without any hesitation, after a pause, she said again: You know my Yin Qing, I will leave early, you and I have never been separated for so many years, at this critical juncture, I should be by your side, how can I leave you, Yin Qing can't do it.

She groaned, and when she looked at the already formed fetus in her arms, she couldn't bear to say: As for the flesh and blood in my womb, I think he will also be considerate of his parents, and then his face seemed to be stiff and whispered: Just look at the will of God.

Shen Murong saw that he couldn't resist her, so he didn't say anything more, just let out a long sigh, his expression was a little lonely and sad, in his heart, he already knew that his wife would not agree, she knew his wife's personality, she had always only cared about the life and death of others, but she had to treat herself to others, not to mention the person who loved her deeply.

Seeing that her husband had not spoken for a long time and stood here, Yin Qing took his hand again and said: Yin Qing will never leave you in this life, I have to stay and help you, stop all this early, and then go to live the life we want.

Shen Murong stroked her shoulders and sighed softly: Since this is the case, let the two of me face it together, but everything has to be done carefully, he looked at her arms, and frowned and said: Your body is getting heavier day by day, and now is a critical juncture, if there is really a difficulty today, you must take care of you and the child first.

Then he seemed to think of something, looked cautiously around the hall, and said in a low voice: Today is my Shen Mou's retreat, there must be many people who come, and there are even more people with bad intentions, all of whom are peeking at this dragon seal, and at that time the husband will be a thorn in the eyes of everyone, saying that he gently took out the package hidden in the deep sleeve, and said: In order not to make others suspicious, it is easy to seize it, it is better for you to keep this thing, and he handed the package to his wife.

Yin Qing took this thing, nodded cautiously, looked at the package in her hand, her heart was a little heavier, with some complexity, she gently opened the package, when the artifact was displayed in front of her eyes, it shocked her heart, how many years, changed the artifact of her life, and now in her own hands, her heart is ancient and unwavering, and there is no obsession, her eyes did not stop for more, she looked at the brocade box, and suddenly the softness struck, making people feel so kind.

Shen Murong on the side didn't know his wife's move, and just wanted to tell her to be careful.

I saw that my wife separated the two things, and then hid in the deep sleeves, at this time, in Shen Murong's heart, I had to sigh, or his wife Yin Qing was thoughtful and thoughtful, and the two things were placed on her, and she couldn't be more relieved.

I don't know how long later, suddenly a young man walked into the inner hall, this person is Shen Feng, the eldest disciple of Shen Yuan, Shen Feng saw that Shen Murong and Mrs. Yin were there, so he said respectfully: Master, Master is ready.

Shen Murong turned around and asked, "Everyone is here, right?"

Shen Feng's tone became lighter, showing a hint of complexity: All the sects of cultivation have arrived, including the various scattered cultivation factions, which have also arrived a lot, but...

Just what? Shen Murong asked.

It's just that the Qing head of the Historic Monuments God Sect has not arrived, and he hasn't removed a disciple to come, the disciple is very puzzled, it stands to reason that the Monuments God and my Shen Yuan have always been good friends, and they are regarded as the same faction, Uncle Qing and Master You are friends with aspirations, why... When it came to this, he didn't say much, and he didn't say anything more.

Shen Murong sighed and said: Feng'er, your young uncle, hey, I just don't want to embarrass me, so I chose to avoid it, I think today's retreat for the teacher must be more auspicious, you must remember what the teacher entrusted, and act carefully.

The young man's expression was complicated, and he hesitated: "Master, do you really want to retreat?"

Shen Murong sighed: The matter has come to this, don't ask any more, and then he sighed: I have to bet on it, and said that he looked at Shen Feng and said: You have to be ready today, today is your taking over the position of the head of the courtyard, don't make a mistake, go down first.

Shen Feng said with a hint of complexity on his expression: Master, I... , but he still didn't say anything, just said respectfully: Yes, Master, and then came out of the inner hall.

When Shen Feng left, Shen Murong sighed again, and looked at Yin Qingdao on the side: I always feel that this Feng'er has a lot of things to worry about today, and he is always absent-minded in doing things, and his soul is not guarded.

Yin Qing approached and said: I can see that your eldest disciple is reluctant to take over your position as the head of the academy, it is not his original intention, but he has to obey, and his mood will naturally be like this.

Listening to his wife, Shen Murong didn't say anything, just fell into silence, and then sighed in his heart: I don't know how far my Shen Yuan can go in the future.

Yin Qing knew her husband's mood at this time, so she stepped forward and comforted: There are many unsatisfactory things in the world, and everything cannot be perfect, just like you are now, everyone has their own difficulties that are not satisfactory, although Feng'er is a smart child, but he needs to hone more, his road is still long, why do you think too much about him and Shen Yuan.

Seeing that what his wife said was reasonable, Shen Murong said: What Mrs. said is that everything cannot end well, and then he looked outside the hall and said: Since everyone has arrived, I think we should go out.

Yin Qing nodded, and then the two of them walked out of the inner hall and headed towards the council hall.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the lobby, they saw that the entire hall was full of people, including Qin, The representatives of the two academies of Tang and the six major sects of Xiuzhen, as well as the various scattered cultivation factions in the Xiuzhen world, etc., they all sat separately on both sides of the lobby, and the one sitting in front of the lobby was naturally the Baimai Sect, the first major sect of Xiuzhen in the world, and there were only a few people who came, but the sect master did not arrive in the morning, only to see the two deacon elders of the Baimai Sect sitting together, the two were Qu Lao and Qiao Lao, one of the ten elders of the Baimai Sect, both of them were hundreds of years old, wearing a gray robe accompanied by the silver-white beard, all of which made people feel terrifying and strictBehind the two of them are two men and a woman, the three of them are about the age of their early thirties, all of them are dressed in white, although the three of them are not as advanced as the two elders, but they are not to be underestimated, and the pulse cultivation is also a person in the middle of the heart of the heaven and earth realm, dressed in white, revealing a righteous and awe-inspiring fairy atmosphere, all showing a great style, so that everyone present is in awe.

And relying on the hundred veins of the sect to sit one after another is the heavenly Buddha gate, the heavenly Buddha gate is also a long-known Buddhist sect in the cultivation world, second only to the hundred veins of the sect in the cultivation of the true school, no one knows, no one knows, sitting in front of the Tianyun master of the heavenly Buddha gate, Tianyun face is good, a robe looks vulgar and dusty, a body of Buddhism, the Tao is profound, showing a generation of high monks, and the host of the Tianfomen Tianlong was not present, Tianyun is behind several lay disciples.

The people who swept away were the people of the Qin and Tang courts, and the people who entered the front were naturally Qin Sihai and Tang Shizhong, and the people standing behind them were all disciples of the Qin and Tang courts, and there were a large number of people, and the back of the hall was crowded, especially the people of the Qin Academy.

Out of courtesy, the major elders and some disciples of the Shen Academy sat down after the Qin and Tang Courts.

Looking at the left side of the lobby and living in most of the scattered cultivation of the Xiuzhen world, sitting in front of the Xiuzhen world is the world-famous Nanhai Immortal Sect, the South China Sea Immortal Sect in the factions, in addition to the three famous factions, the highest faction, although this faction is all women, but over the years there have been a lot of masters, the leader of this faction is a well-known figure in the Xiuzhen world, she is Lu Zhenlian, the head of the South China Sea Immortal Sect, this person is the third generation of the Nanhai Immortal Sect, the cultivation is profound, the pulse is exquisite, in the Xiuzhen world is a well-known talent strange person, at this time she sat in front, dressed in black, although she is middle-aged, but shows the beauty of the woman's charm, But this kind of beauty is more of a trace of coldness and arrogance, there are several young disciples standing behind her, all of them are beautiful women dressed in black, above this hall, there are not many women, gathered here, from time to time to attract a lot of eyes, people feast their eyes, but these beautiful women are as cold as ice, people dare not approach.

And next to the South China Sea Immortal Sect is one of the three major scattered cultivation factions of the Snow Northern Sect, the Snowy Northern Sect is located in the north of the Snowy Mountain, this time to be invited, it can be regarded as a thousand miles away, it seems that this matter is more important, the front is the head of the Snow North Sect Qiu Fengzang, Qiu Zhangjiao is the youngest generation of the master in the Xiuzhen world, and he is also a figure in the ranks of masters in the Xiuzhen world, and behind him are young disciples in thick robes.

And sitting next to the snowy northern faction is the last of the six factions of Xiuzhen, and it is also one of the three major schools of scattered cultivation, the Twelve Swords of East China, this faction is said to have been created by the twelve masters of East China, each of them created a sword technique to form a sword array, and the name of the faction of the twelve swords of East China is also not to be underestimated in the cultivation world, and there are two middle-aged men who enter the front of the two men, and the two men who have entered the realm of heaven and earth are behind them, and behind them are several white-clothed disciples, each with cautious eyes, scanning every move of the Shen Yuan, as if he was secretly investigating what this is.

As for the small sects of scattered cultivation in the cultivation realm that followed, such as the four ghosts of Tongyun and the four realms of immortal fire, the entire Shen Yuan Hall was crowded with people.
