Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1399  This Time, A Group Of Flatterers (1)

Zhu Shen walked step by step in the main hall of the Shangguan Clan.

The surrounding buildings had no traces of the decay of time.

It might as well have been newly built.

Moreover, a majestic aura emanated from the direction of the main hall.

It could be seen how much the Shangguan Clan looked forward to the future.

"They always thought they had a bright future," Zhu Shen looked ahead and muttered to himself.

The Shangguan Clan's area had been rebuilt.

Moreover, it was not as shabby as he expected.

It was like this when they did not even have an Immortal Human yet. If they did, their extravagant space might be even more lavish.

His cultivation realm was just average, but he had a big heart.

In just a short period, Zhu Shen reached the main hall.

There were many Immortal Ascension Platform cultivators standing around. Although Shangguan Qicheng was also an immortal, he had an extraordinary temperament.

His future was indeed limitless.

"Greetings, Clan Leader Shangguan." Zhu Shen politely bowed.

His aura was restrained. His aura looked ordinary, but it had a heaviness to it.

No one dared to underestimate him.

"Mr. Zhu, thank you for coming." Shangguan Qicheng did not dare to be arrogant.

He could not tell what cultivation realm the person before him was in.

Moreover, the divine light of the power technique around his body was restrained, and he could not detect the source at all.

But one could see his strength.

The more powerful people they sent, the more it showed that they valued the Shangguan Clan very highly.

However, he still had to be wary of such an expert. Just one of them was enough to bring about a great disaster.

At that moment, although Shangguan Qicheng looked polite enough, he had secretly communicated with the clan protecting the immortal beast.

If there were any unusual movements, they would be notified immediately.

"You're too polite," Zhu Shen said with a smile. "I'm just here today to run an errand."

"An errand?" Shangguan Qicheng was a little surprised. "What kind of person can make the great Mr. Zhu run errands?"

Shangguan Qicheng had a sense of how powerful the person in front of him was.

Even if everyone present combined their strength, they would not be a match for this individual.

"I'm just following orders. I really don't know who sent this letter," said Zhu Shen.

He truly did not know.

Mr. Tao had given him a letter and asked him to deliver it.

Of course, he had his suspicions. He had only delivered two letters to date.

One was to Chi Tian and another to the Shangguan Clan.

The two might be related.

"Is it on orders of the Master of the Heavenly Tower?" Shangguan Qicheng asked.

If so, that would be even more impressive.

Who exactly could deal directly with the Master of the Heavenly Tower?

"Naturally. I'm here under the instruction of the Master of the Heavenly Tower," said Zhu Shen as he took out the envelope.

It was not sealed.

The letter was handed to Shangguan Qicheng in a way that no one present could understand.

Looking at the unsealed envelope, Shangguan Qicheng frowned. This seemed rather casual.

He thought that the Master of the Heavenly Tower must have read it.

From the looks of it, the Master of the Heavenly Tower did not think much of him.

Zhu Shen did not leave. He stood where he was.

He had to wait for the other party to finish reading the letter before he could return.

At this point, Shangguan Qicheng had already taken the letter out of the envelope.

He was very curious about who sent the letter and what its contents were.

Their clan was rising rapidly.

Someone must have extended an olive branch to them to cooperate.

People had their vanity. They could refuse, but the fact that someone had extended an olive branch was important.

However, after opening the folded paper, Shangguan Qicheng frowned. He looked at it with disdain.

There were a few words on it: "Let's part on good terms. Smiling San Sheng's cooperation with every one of you has officially ended."

The simple words did not impress Shangguan Qicheng. He thought the other party did not dare to come overseas. He had no choice but to send a simple note.

Shangguan Qicheng sneered. "Smiling San Sheng is indeed nothing great."

Zhu Shen did not stay any longer. "Since the clan leader has read the letter, I'll depart."

With that, Zhu Shen turned and left.

Shangguan Qicheng did not stay either.

He left the letter in the main hall for the others to read.

Looking at the letter, everyone laughed heartily.

Smiling San Sheng was both angry and helpless.

He could only use this way to give himself a graceful exit.

The Shangguan Clan was beyond his control.

Outside, Shangguan Qingsu watched Zhu Shen leave.

It just seemed like the other party glanced at her from a distance.

It made her quite frightened, but fortunately, he left.

Not long after, the Shangguan Clan burst into laughter.

This made Shangguan Qingsu feel a little dejected.

The Shangguan Clan had really begun to walk the path to greater heights, and she was nothing more than a street rat.

She could no longer cultivate wholeheartedly like before.

She was sure she would be back to her past days of struggle.

Could she join the Shangguan Clan again?

That was definitely not an option.

Perhaps reality would force her to join in the future.

But, at the moment, she had missed her chance. If she joined, she would definitely be considered inferior.

Besides, she had already sworn allegiance to the number one in history.

This also became a hidden danger.

If she defected now, she would lose this backing forever.

Maybe one day, the number one throughout history would remember her, and the overall situation would change.

In the end, Shangguan Qingsu returned to her cultivation place.

It was already January.

The Hundred Nights Curse was about to arrive, so she needed to make some preparations.

She had to deal with it with all her might.

Last time, she wished she was dead.

This time, it might not be any better.

She did not like being so vulnerable.

But she had no choice.

Meanwhile, in the Hidden Cloud Prefecture in the South, Bi Zhu approached the edge of the area.

She heard Gu Changsheng's voice.

"Hey, eighteen-year-old girl, how are things?"

"Senior, what do you think?"
