Chapter 274 I left my son without a penny!
These two years or so were not a long time in the cultivation world, but it was enough time for the Sheng family to initially dominate Feisha Fairy City. It was also enough time for Sheng Yunqi and Chen Ye to take their relationship to the next level - they knew each other's real names.
Chen Ye had used a fake name to deceive Sheng Yunqi, and Sheng Yunqi should have been angry, but Chen Ye took the initiative to confess to Sheng Yunqi: "Before, I didn't dare to tell my real name when I was out, because I was worried that someone would find out where I was born through my real name and threaten me with my relatives and friends, so I often acted under the name of 'Chen Hua'. Now that I have been with Senior Sheng for a long time, I deeply feel that Senior Sheng has noble character and is definitely not that kind of despicable person. Senior Sheng treats me so well, I really don't want to hide it from Senior Sheng anymore. In fact, my real name is Chen Ye..."
These words not only expressed his helplessness, but also secretly praised Sheng Yunqi, making Sheng Yunqi feel embarrassed to argue with Chen Ye about this matter. After all, Chen Ye had taken the initiative to reveal his real name, and Sheng Yunqi himself was also using a pseudonym.
Sheng Yunqi didn't feel like getting angry about this: "It doesn't matter, this is human nature. You should be more careful when you go out. In fact, my real name is not Sheng Qi, my name is Sheng Yunqi, but when I go out, it's not good to use my real name, so as not to bring trouble to the family, or attract the family's enemies to plot against me. So I don't mind this matter."
Chen Ye was surprised, and a little relieved and embarrassed: "So Senior Sheng... I feel relieved now. I was worried that if I concealed my real name, Senior Sheng would mind and think that I didn't treat you sincerely, so I specially explained this to you..."
In fact, Chen Ye already knew that "Sheng Qi" was a pseudonym, and also guessed Sheng Yunqi's true identity.
Because the incomplete Nascent Soul cultivator attached to Chen Ye was named Qi Shen, and he was the former head of the Qi family, one of the five oldest Nascent Soul forces in Feisha Fairy City.
The Qi family once had a very lucky transfer of power - the previous head of the Qi family accidentally encountered a Yuanying stage monster, was ambushed by it, and was seriously injured. He returned home to recuperate and died again due to insanity. Fortunately, not long after the death of the previous head of the family, the head's younger brother was too sad and worried about the future of the family, so he took the risk of breaking through to the Yuanying stage, and actually succeeded, becoming the new Yuanying stage head of the family, supporting the Qi family again, and preventing the Qi family from falling from the ranks of Yuanying forces.
Outsiders all marveled at the extraordinary talents of the Qi brothers. After the elder brother who was in the Nascent Soul stage died, the younger brother unexpectedly broke through to the Nascent Soul stage very quickly, allowing the Qi family to overcome this difficult time.
Otherwise, if the Qi family suddenly lost their head who was in the Nascent Soul stage, they would probably be taken advantage of by other Nascent Soul forces and destroyed, and they would not have the chance to fall to the Golden Core force and continue living in Feisha Fairy City.
But Chen Ye learned the truth behind the changes in the Qi family from the remnant soul of the Nascent Soul in his body - the former head of the Qi family, Qi Shen, who was seriously injured and died of insanity, was actually killed by his own brother. No one expected that his brother had quietly broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. In order to get the position of the head of the family, he secretly attracted a Nascent Soul stage monster to weaken his strength, causing him to be seriously injured, and took advantage of his serious injury to attack him, killing him. Even his Nascent Soul that escaped at the critical moment of life and death was attacked and became incomplete.
After Qi Shen was left with only a fragment of his Nascent Soul, he still wanted to be resurrected, so naturally he did not dare to continue staying in Feisha Fairy City, a place where there were Nascent Soul cultivators. He ran to a remote place far away from Feisha Fairy City and accidentally met Chen Ye, the child he had chosen.
Qi Shen told Chen Ye that he accepted Chen Ye as his disciple in the hope that after Chen Ye grew stronger, he would be able to find him the elixir to complete his Nascent Soul, help him rebuild his body, and help him get revenge and regain his position as the head of the Qi family.
Chen Ye believed it for the time being.
After all, whether you believe it or not, Qi Shen's incomplete Nascent Soul is of great help to him.
During the time that Chen Ye had been friends with Sheng Yunqi, he had naturally seen Sheng Yunqi in action. After Sheng Yunqi used the Sheng family's exclusive magic, he was recognized by Qi Shen.
In Qi Shen's memory, the Sheng family was still the Jindan family in Feisha Fairy City back then.
But Sheng Yunqi had the mark left by a Nascent Soul cultivator on his body, which made Qi Shen very wary, so he asked Chen Ye to inquire about the situation of the Sheng family.
The fairy city where Chen Ye is located is a small fairy city far inferior to Feisha Fairy City. The strongest cultivator is a Jindan-stage cultivator, and it is not very close to Feisha Fairy City. Therefore, the news is relatively delayed, and those timely news are not something that Chen Ye, a small Qi-refining stage cultivator, can inquire about.
Chen Ye only found out the news from a long time ago - the Sheng family's patriarch, who was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, had successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Qi Shen thought that the Sheng family was just lucky enough to give birth to a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage.
When Chen Ye learned that Sheng Yunqi was a member of the Yuanying family, he immediately wanted to make friends with him.
Then he remembered that he had used a pseudonym when he made friends with Sheng Yunqi, which was a hidden danger.
After all, if he develops a good relationship with Sheng Yunqi now, and Sheng Yunqi later finds out that his name 'Chen Hua' is a pseudonym, he will definitely suspect that he has other purposes in approaching him.
Even Sheng Yunqi himself used the pseudonym 'Sheng Qi'.
But people are inherently hypocritical. Sheng Yunqi has the upper hand in this relationship. Sheng Yunqi may feel that he is using a pseudonym to make friends with Chen Ye, which shows that he must be on guard against others and is human nature. However, Chen Ye may be deliberately trying to deceive him by using a pseudonym to make friends with him, and he may have other purposes.
Problems will soon arise in their relationship, which is not in Chen Ye's interest.
So Chen Ye immediately decided to tell Sheng Yunqi his real name, and used seemingly sincere words to express that he was indeed wary of him at the beginning, but not just him, but all outsiders. Now that their friendship has deepened, he let down his guard against Sheng Yunqi and decided to confess.
Wouldn't Sheng Yunqi be moved by this?
In fact, Sheng Yunqi was indeed touched. Although Chen Ye deceived him with a fake name, Chen Ye soon chose to tell him his real name and showed that he trusted him very much. How could Sheng Yunqi not feel that he had made a true friend?
This trick made Sheng Yunqi reveal his real name.
After Chen Ye heard Sheng Yunqi reveal his real name, he immediately felt relieved. From Sheng Yunqi's reaction, he was sure that he had made the right move and he successfully gained Sheng Yunqi's trust.
The hidden danger of pseudonyms was thus overcome.
Sheng Yunqi liked Chen Ye's "sincere treatment" even more. He even said, "You and I are close in age. I believe it won't be long before you break through the foundation-building stage. You don't have to call me senior because of the difference in cultivation. You've already called me old. Just call me by my name."
Of course Chen Ye would not really call him by his name, but smiled and said, "Then I'd rather obey than be respectful. Thank you, Brother Sheng!"
Sheng Yunqi said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you are too polite!"
After Chen Ye returned to his residence, Qi Shen, who had been hiding in his sea of consciousness and not daring to show up next to Sheng Yunqi, dared to come out and talk to Chen Ye: "What's going on?"
Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, everything went well. He also told me his real name. His name is Sheng Yunqi."
"Sheng Yunqi?" Qi Shen carefully recalled the name, but had no impression of it.
After all, he was assassinated by his own brother decades ago, and Sheng Yunqi was not born yet, so he naturally didn't know this name.
Chen Ye was not too disappointed when he found out that even this old freak Qi Shen didn't know about it. After all, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, Qi Shen certainly wouldn't pay attention to a small Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Moreover, Sheng Yunqi said that he was about the same age as himself. Now that I think about it, he is less than 20 years old. Maybe Sheng Yunqi was not even born when Qi Shen escaped from Feisha Fairy City.
Chen Ye couldn't find any more information about Sheng Yunqi, but he didn't care. It was enough to confirm that Sheng Yunqi was a member of the Sheng family.
The descendants of a family with Nascent Soul power, even if they are just descendants of a side branch, are unattainable for Chen Ye, a casual cultivator.
Don’t think that there are no class issues in the world of cultivation like in the secular world. If your cultivation level is not high enough or your status is not high enough, it will be difficult to know some high-level information.
Chen Ye, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, is a small figure at the bottom of the cultivation world. He is the largest in number, has the lowest strength, and is the most exploited.
Along the way, even with the help of Qi Shen, the incomplete Nascent Soul, he was only ahead of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators in terms of knowledge and skills. Compared with the children of Nascent Soul forces like Sheng Yunqi, he was far behind in terms of resources, connections, or sources of intelligence.
Chen Ye made friends with Sheng Yunqi with the intention of leveraging Sheng Yunqi's connections, getting into the Sheng family's network of contacts, expanding his own network, and joining the circle of disciples from powerful forces.
Perhaps he could also find a Jindan or Yuanying stage master who could really help him.
Although a broken Nascent Soul like Qi Shen's was an opportunity for Chen Ye, to be honest, he had always been on guard against Qi Shen, and was rather perfunctory in his search for elixirs to restore his Nascent Soul, because he didn't know whether Qi Shen would really treat him as a disciple after his Nascent Soul was restored, or whether he would want to take over his body.
When the physical body of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage is destroyed and only the Nascent Soul escapes, if he wants to regain his strength, he can indeed find a way to reshape the physical body, but it is troublesome and difficult, and it is far better to directly choose a suitable physical body and forcibly take over it.
Moreover, the reshaped bodies are mostly made of natural treasures and the like. This body is not a human body. Humans are the most powerful creatures in the world. When those monsters have gained intelligence and are able to transform, they will definitely transform into human form, because cultivating in the human form is the fastest and easiest.
The reshaped body is not a human body, and the speed of cultivation may not be much different from that of a monster. Given the life span limit of the Nascent Soul stage, it is very likely that no breakthrough will be made until the end of life.
But if you take over someone else's body, you won't have these troubles.
Of course, there are also troubles in taking over another's body. For example, the soul of the Nascent Soul and the physical body are not originally a match, and they are not so compatible. This may cause problems in cultivation, and there will be no hope of successfully surviving the tribulation in one's lifetime.
But the problem is, the highest stage in this world is only the Spirit Transformation Stage, and it is already impossible to cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Stage. So what does it matter if one cannot cross the Tribulation?
Therefore, if a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage encounters a life-and-death crisis and has to abandon his physical body, the Nascent Soul will escape and will immediately look for a more compatible physical body to take over.
Chen Ye had heard all this information from Sheng Yunqi, so he was very wary of Qi Shen, the incomplete Nascent Soul hidden in his sea of consciousness. He was worried that after he found the elixir to restore Qi Shen's Nascent Soul, he would be possessed by Qi Shen.
Before Chen Ye got the information about possession from Sheng Yunqi, he was already wary of Qi Shen, his cheap master, so he shamelessly approached Sheng Yunqi and tried to make friends with him in order to find a way to check and balance Qi Shen.
After all, Qi Shen didn't dare to show up when he was around Sheng Yunqi. Qi Shen had no idea what Sheng Yunqi did or said, so he had the opportunity to plot secretly.
Feisha Immortal City, the Sheng family unified the entire immortal city, and the news naturally spread to the ears of the major forces in several nearby immortal cities.
When the Sheng family began to expand aggressively, the Yuanying forces in the surrounding immortal cities did not take any action. Instead, they waited for the five old Yuanying forces in Feisha Immortal City to fight to the death with the Sheng family. When the two sides were fighting fiercely, they intervened to take advantage.
But what was unexpected was that the five old Yuanying forces had already lost their backing and confidence, and were directly forced to retreat by the Sheng family, and were eventually swallowed up, allowing the Sheng family to dominate the market.
The Yuanying forces in other immortal cities wanted to take advantage but had no chance to do so, so they decided to join forces to invade Feisha Immortal City.
After all, five of the six Nascent Soul cultivators in Feisha Fairy City have died, leaving only the head of the Sheng family. Wouldn't it be easy for them to capture him?
Just thinking about how much resources and territory they could gain by annexing Feisha Fairy City, the Nascent Soul forces in the surrounding fairy cities became extremely excited and couldn't wait to take over Feisha Fairy City.
However, before that, they issued an ultimatum to the Sheng family, asking them to voluntarily hand over a large amount of resources and territory to avoid being exterminated after they attacked.
These Nascent Soul forces felt that the Sheng family would not refuse their request. After all, the Sheng family only had one Nascent Soul cultivator. If all the Nascent Soul forces in the Immortal City united, they would have at least a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if Feisha Immortal City was in its heyday, it might not be able to withstand their joint attack.
If Feisha Immortal City had not fallen into unprecedented weakness, the Nascent Soul forces of the three surrounding immortal cities would not have put aside their past grudges and chosen to join forces.
But it is foreseeable that after the annexation of Feisha Fairy City, the dozen or so Yuanying forces in the three major fairy cities will inevitably have a fierce battle for the distribution of interests.
Therefore, they were reluctant to use force against Feisha Immortal City. After all, although there was only one Nascent Soul stage cultivator in Feisha Immortal City, if this one Nascent Soul stage cultivator fought desperately, he might take away several Nascent Soul cultivators of the same level and die together with them, and the number of Jindan stage cultivators who died might be even greater.
So they hope that the Sheng family can be sensible and give up most of their interests, and they will be merciful enough to allow the Sheng family to continue to survive and become one of them.
After receiving the ultimatum, the Sheng family immediately delivered the dozen or so ultimatum letters to Si Yuan.
After reading it, Si Yuan said: "..."
Haven’t these Nascent Soul cultivators ever thought about why Feisha Fairy City is missing five veteran Nascent Soul cultivators?
Alas, it is really difficult. The cultivators inside Feisha Immortal City all suspect that he was responsible for the death of the five Nascent Soul cultivators, while the Nascent Soul cultivators outside Feisha Immortal City do not believe that he was the one who did it. It would be great if the two could switch places.
This is also because the difference in cultivation leads to different cognitions.
People in Feisha Fairy City believed that the five Nascent Soul cultivators were all killed by Si Yuan, the only remaining Nascent Soul cultivator. This was because they were all cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, and they did not realize that the difference in strength between Nascent Soul cultivators was not as big as they imagined, and that even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to kill an early Nascent Soul cultivator.
Therefore, they would not think it was impossible for Si Yuan, a cultivator who had just broken through the Nascent Soul stage, to kill five veteran Nascent Soul stage cultivators. They would only guess the murderer from the fact that the Sheng family was a vested interest, and then they happened to guess the truth.
As for the Yuanying stage cultivators outside Feisha Immortal City, since they knew how difficult it was to kill a strong man of the same level, they did not think that the five veteran Yuanying stage cultivators of Feisha Immortal City were killed by Si Yuan, a new Yuanying stage cultivator. They believed that the death of the five veteran Yuanying stage cultivators of Feisha Immortal City was either because they were unlucky enough to encounter a strong man of the God Transformation stage who was in a bad mood and started a killing spree, or because they were unlucky to be swallowed up by the ancient secret realm and they perished in the dangerous place of the secret realm.
In the past, the upper limit of this cultivation world was not just the Spirit Transformation Stage. There were higher realms above the Spirit Transformation Stage. Therefore, the dangers in the secret realm left over from ancient times could potentially cause the death of a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator, and the death of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was even more common.
Therefore, the Nascent Soul cultivators in the surrounding immortal cities would rather believe the low probability possibility that the five veteran Nascent Soul cultivators of Feisha Immortal City were dragged into the ancient secret realm and died, rather than believe that these five Nascent Soul cultivators were killed by Si Yuan.
So there is the ultimatum that is now handed to Si Yuan.
The senior members of the Sheng family who knew about this were all in a panic. There were more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators here, and their entire Feisha Fairy City couldn't find another Nascent Soul cultivator. What should they do?
Everyone could only look at their biggest backer, hoping that Si Yuan could come up with some ideas.
Even if Si Yuan said to give up interests and let the Sheng family temporarily lie low and bow their heads, they would understand.
After all, everything is for the survival of the family, how can we act on impulse?
Si Yuan looked at his tribesmen who were staring at him with hope, sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "I'm going out for a while, you guys can go home first."
The eldest elder of the Sheng family couldn't help but say: "Master, then this matter..."
Si Yuan said calmly: "I went out to solve this matter. When I get home, it will be solved."
When the eldest elder of the Sheng family wanted to ask Si Yuan how he planned to solve the problem, Si Yuan was no longer in front of him. He and the other clansmen had to suppress their anxiety and wait quietly.
Anyway, the ultimatum gave the Sheng family one month, so they would have enough time to wait for ten days or half a month.
Siyuan’s way of solving problems is simple – directly solve the people who create the problems.
The reason why those dozen Yuanying forces dared to issue this so-called ultimatum to the Sheng family and threaten the Sheng family with a condescending and arrogant attitude was simply because they relied on the fact that they had Yuanying stage cultivators.
Just like those five Nascent Soul cultivators who dared to disrupt his Nascent Soul Banquet.
Therefore, by eliminating the biggest reliance of these dozen Yuanying forces, the Sheng family’s crisis at this time will be solved.
Si Yuan took action personally, and naturally everything was easily captured. None of the dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators were able to successfully escape, thus completely eliminating future troubles.
It took him an entire night. The reason it took so long was that these dozen Nascent Soul cultivators were not staying together, so he had to spend more time looking for their traces and then get rid of them one by one.
Si Yuan, who had visited more than a dozen crime scenes, was a little dissatisfied. Why couldn't these dozen guys be gathered together like the five Nascent Soul cultivators in Feisha Fairy City and be taken down in one fell swoop? It saves him trouble, and they can have a companion when they travel together, right?
The elders of the Sheng family thought they would have to wait for ten days or half a month, but they saw Si Yuan the next day and asked with the last glimmer of hope: "Master, what's going on?"
Si Yuan smiled calmly: "Everything has been resolved, don't worry, just live your normal life."
The elders of the Sheng family believed Si Yuan's words without a doubt and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don’t know how the patriarch solved it, but since he said the problem was solved, then it must have been solved.
However, they were still very curious about how the head of the family solved such a big problem.
Could it be that the patriarch has a friendship with some powerful person in the God Transformation Stage, and asked him to come forward to warn those Nascent Soul forces?
This time, Si Yuan still did not give the elders a chance to ask for solutions, and just moved away.
However, within a few days, they found out how Si Yuan solved the problem - because several Nascent Soul forces in the surrounding immortal cities failed to keep the lid on, the news of the death of their Nascent Soul ancestors spread.
It stands to reason that after the death of the Yuanying ancestor, the greatest supporter of such a Yuanying force, other Yuanying forces should take advantage of the situation to rob.
But all the other Yuanying forces in Tongxian City were indifferent, as if they were saints with noble character who would never take advantage of others' misfortune.
Seeing this, the former Yuanying forces, who were trembling with fear and thinking that they were going to be swallowed up and destroyed, began to suspect whether other Yuanying forces were in the same situation as themselves, so they secretly investigated.
After such investigation, it was found that the Nascent Soul ancestors of other Nascent Soul forces had also died, but they were lucky enough to keep it secret and the news was not leaked.
As the saying goes, it is better to share misery with others than to suffer alone, so those former Nascent Soul forces who exposed the news of the death of their own Nascent Soul ancestors at the beginning, immediately helped their former allies or old opponents to spread the news.
As a result, almost everyone knew that the Nascent Soul ancestors of more than a dozen Nascent Soul forces in the three surrounding immortal cities had all fallen!
Everyone in Feisha Immortal City and the three major immortal cities were shocked by this shocking news.
