Laiyang Prefecture.

In the secret room of General Chen’s residence, two fifth grade bloodline practitioners were kneeling respectfully in front of a statue. This statue looked like a lizard, but there were spikes on its back. It looked ferocious and terrifying, especially its eyes. Even though it was just a statue, it exuded a terrifying pressure.

If anyone who knew about evil sects were here, they would know that this was one of the branches of the Demon God Cult. Most of these sects worshiped ancient demons and obtained power or lifespan from them.

Generals Chen and Yu, as well as several other generals from the continent’s capital, as well as Guardian Jin, were all members of the evil sect. Naturally, they weren’t originally members of the evil sect. However, now that the chaotic world was approaching, it was very easy for them to join and receive protection and growth.

Waves of strange energy enveloped them. The two generals immediately felt that they had become much younger. The pious kneeling ended. When they returned to the cubicle, the two Generals Chen and Yu began to discuss. “That kid surnamed Shen is stubborn. He’s not interested in cultivation methods, resources, or girls. He can’t be roped in at all. If we let him grow, he’ll become an obstacle once he’s on the opposite side of the evil sect.

“If it really doesn’t work, we’ll use force. Our sect has plenty of methods to make such a guy with extraordinary potential listen to orders.”

General Yu frowned. “This kid’s strength is not low. I’m afraid it’s difficult for the two of us to force him to submit.”

General Chen nodded. “I’ve already sent word to the capital city. I’m sure there’ll be a response soon. The sect will definitely agree with such a young fifth grade bloodline cultivator. As long as we can turn him into one of our own, when the chaos arrives, we’ll be able to obtain him easily.”

A smile appeared on General Yu’s face. “With the help of the sect’s protector, nothing will go wrong. During this period of time, we have to stabilize the other party. We can’t let him see any clues. Also, that Hong fellow is also in quite a bit of trouble. Is there a way to deal with him?”

General Chen shook his head. “That Hong guy is related to the state capital. Once something happens to him, it’s inevitable that we’ll alert the enemy. Let’s get rid of this little kid first.”

Shen Ping still didn’t know that General Chen flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to deal with him just because he couldn’t win him over. At this moment, after accompanying Lian Nishang to the temple fair for a few days, he went on a boat ride on the Laiyang River. Naturally, he had Ling Yu’er by his side.

When he was enjoying the scenery of the river, he would ask Ling Yu’er to face the river while he stood behind her to search for inspiration through physical and mental communication.

It had to be said that this method was indeed effective. After so many pointers, Ling Yu’er had improved tremendously. The meridians in her acupoints could completely accommodate Shen Ping’s strengths.

Looking at the other boats in the distance, Ling Yu’er stood on the railing of the deck. Her cheeks were rosy and her reactions were extremely sharp. When the boats approached, every single muscle on her body tensed up. Only when a wave swept over did her nervousness ease.

“Brother Shen, you’re so bad. You actually did that.” Ling Yu’er grumbled, but there was no trace of grievance on her face. She wished she could do it a few more times.

Shen Ping clicked his tongue and smiled. So this girl actually liked this kind of market. He was about to speak when cheerful footsteps came from the cabin. Ling Yu’er hurriedly tidied her clothes and continued to talk about the demons of Laiyang River as if nothing had happened.

“Brother Shen, Nishang has reached the late-stage of the fourth level. Hehe, in at most half a year, I will be able to break through to the fifth level!” Lian Nishang was overjoyed. After reaching Rank 5, she would be able to catch up to Brother Shen.

Ling Yu’er couldn’t help but feel jealous. “Sister Nishang is really talented. She reached late-stage Rank 4. so quickly.”

Lian Nishang grabbed Shen Ping’s arm. “It’s all thanks to the blood bead that Brother Shen gave me. Brother Shen, what kind of treasure is that blood bead?”

Shen Ping lowered his head to her earlobe and said, “You’ll know when you reach level five.”

Lian Nishang blushed. Of course, she knew what Shen Ping meant by level five. Ling Yu’er snorted and left.

“Brother Shen, do you like Ling Yu’er?” Lian Nishang asked in a low voice.

Shen Ping couldn’t help but look at Lian Nishang in surprise. When did this girl become enlightened? “What are you thinking about? No matter what the situation is, I like you the most.”

These words instantly made Lian Nishang’s heart feel sweet, “Wait, wait for Nishang to reach level 5. Then, I will let Brother Shen…”

“Let me do what I want?” Shen Ping teased.

The girl was so embarrassed that she couldn’t speak. She stammered, “Anyway, whatever Brother Shen wants to do, Nishang is willing.”

Shen Ping was very gratified. He did not dote on this girl for nothing. He kissed her earlobe and carried her in his arms to continue admiring the river scenery.

During the tour, his Star Rank bloodline power combined with his True Spirit techniques to carefully sense everything at the bottom of the Laiyang River. Not long after, he found more than a dozen heavenly treasures and a few fifth rank flood dragons. One of them was about to break through to Star Rank.

“No wonder the Demon Suppression Division hasn’t attacked the demons of the Laiyang River for so long. With this old dragon around, we have to pay a price to completely kill them.”

When the Laiyang River and Tongtian River converged, the speed of the flood dragon in the water was extremely fast. A fifth-stage flood dragon could catch up to a Star-ranked martial artist. Therefore, even if a Star-ranked general came, he might not be able to deal with it.

At night, he snuck into the river. The bloodline power around him formed a circular bubble and quickly dived to the bottom of the river. The flood dragon’s senses were astonishing. They quickly surrounded Shen Ping.

“So it’s Lord Shen from the Demon Suppression Division. May I know why you’ve come to my Laiyang River Mansion so late at night?”
