The Rise of the Shen Family

After putting away the two storage bags, Shen Ruiling fell into contemplation again, and his face became very dignified.

Judging from what happened during the day, the black-robed man and the bald-headed man didn't seem to appear in the jungle by chance, but more like they had been in ambush in the forest for a long time, waiting for themselves to be caught in the trap!

At this point, when the black-robed man and the bald-headed man appeared, Shen Ruiling had already sensed that something was wrong, and now he calmed down and thought about it, that's exactly what happened!

His mission this time was to defend the passage from Baiguling to Shanghai, and then monitor the movements of the bandits, wait for the arrival of the general attack, and then encircle the bandits on the mountain with the people from Qingyunmen.

But now his whereabouts are exposed, and he was ambushed and killed by the bandits in advance. Obviously, someone disclosed his whereabouts to the bandits and wanted to get rid of him with the help of bandits.

However, Shen Ruiling didn't even reveal his whereabouts, even the fourth uncle Shen Jingan, and the only ones who knew his whereabouts were the foundation-building cultivators on Qixia Ridge!

Who in the end wanted to use the hands of the bandits to get rid of him, this question kept circling in Shen Ruiling's mind.

Immediately afterwards, faces appeared in his mind, and he began to investigate them one by one.

The members of Qingyunmen were here to encircle and suppress this group of bandits, and obviously there was no motive to reveal their whereabouts.

And Du Wenfu, the old man, is not too suspicious. Although there is a competitive relationship between the Shen and Du families, they still support each other more often.

After all, the two of them are at the bottom of the current Linhai County. If they don't join forces, there will be no scum left by the Chen and Li family!

Besides, killing himself is not good for his Du family, it will only lose an ally in vain, and create one more enemy!

So after investigating them one by one, the most suspected of these people is the Chen family.

In terms of motives, the Chen family and his Shen family already had a feud, and they had reached a situation where they would never die. It was only natural to hunt down a younger brother for a lifetime.

In terms of means, it can be seen from various signs that there are innumerable connections between the Chen family and the bandits on Baiguling behind the scenes.

As long as the Chen family discloses their whereabouts through their own network of connections, or buys out bandits to ambush and kill them, all of these can be done.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruiling showed a lingering killing intent.

This killing intent swept through the entire cave in an instant, causing the old man with the wonderful hand who was meditating to heal his wounds to tremble involuntarily, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

But Shen Ruiling knew that these were just his own speculations, without actual evidence. Moreover, even if there is real evidence, now is not the time to turn against the Chen family!

Now the family is going through a stage of rapid development. As long as it saves for a few more years, the strength of the family can be significantly improved.

Therefore, it is really not appropriate to disrupt the pace of one's own development by taking action against the Chen family too early!

After realizing this, the killing intent on Shen Ruiling gradually subsided, and he had buried this hatred deeply in his heart.

As long as the time comes, it will explode!

...

After slowly opening his eyes, Shen Ruiling's eyes turned to the ice and snow outside the cave again, looking at the swirling snow.

This ambush can be considered to have escaped, but the current form is still not optimistic for him.

Not to mention whether the person who wants to kill him will look for an opportunity to take action again, even if he continues to stay here, as the day of the general attack approaches, it will become more and more dangerous.

As previously considered, if the army of Qingyunmen breaks through Baiguling, this will be the only way for them to escape to Shanghai.

And if they continue to guard here, sooner or later they will encounter the bandits who escaped from Baiguling. At that time, the bandits will really fight with them in order to escape!

Suddenly, Shen Ruiling seemed to have thought of something. After taking out the two storage bags in his arms and looking at it again, an idea appeared in his mind.

Now that he has killed the black-robed man and the bald man, and took down the storage bags of the two of them as proof, there is no need for him to stay here anymore!

Even if you leave here now, after the war, as long as you hand in the storage bags of the black-robed man and the bald man, you can still prove that you have completed the task!

In this way, you can not only complete the task of Qingyunmen, and get rewards, but also avoid the edge, and avoid fighting for your life with the bandits fleeing on the mountain!

Moreover, even if one or two bandits who had built a foundation had actually run away and entered Shanghai Shangfang from them, he would not have been punished by Qingyunmen for this. After all, the two of them had already crossed each other's heads!

Thinking of this, Shen Ruiling's eyes suddenly became much brighter, and a dead game of chess seemed to be taken alive by himself!

After some deliberation again, Shen Ruiling decided to leave this dense forest tomorrow, find a place to hide first, and see if there are some unexpected gains. After the war, come out and mix it up!

But the only thing he can't worry about now is the clansmen on Qixia Ridge. Without the care of the foundation-building cultivators, there will be a lot of casualties in the next battle!

At this moment, Shen Ruiling seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly rummaged through the storage bag to find a third-order magic talisman.

After Shen Ruiling told what happened above, he injected a spiritual power into the talisman, and then the talisman turned into a spiritual light and disappeared in the heavy snow, escaping toward the sky.

The flight speed of this kind of sound transmission is comparable to that of a cultivator in the later stage of Foundation Establishment. In addition, this talisman has a very good concealment effect, so Shen Ruiling is not worried that someone will intercept it.

...

The next day, as soon as the sun was up, Shen Ruiling and the two walked out of the cave.

Looking at the still swirling snow, the old man couldn't help but ask:

"Shen Xiaoyou, where are you going next?"

"Leave this area first and circle back from the other side of the mountain!"

"it is good!"

After speaking, the figures of the two moved quickly and swept toward the northeast.

In this way, after Shen Ruiling and the two had shuttled through the jungle for half an hour, a hill stood in front of him.

Suddenly, Shen Ruiling stopped here and checked the surrounding mountains and rivers by himself.

Seeing that Shen Ruiling stopped, the old man with wonderful hands was a little puzzled, but he stopped and said:

"This place is still deep in the mountains, and you should be able to go back to the outer areas by going around the front hills!"

Shen Ruiling didn't listen to the words of the masterful old man. He still observed the scene of the mountains and rivers on his own, with an inexplicable look on his face.

Because Shen Ruiling found that he was very familiar with the scene here, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruiling shook his head involuntarily, he had never been here before, how could he have seen it before?

However, at this moment, Shen Ruiling suddenly thought of something, and his consciousness hurriedly entered the storage bag and searched for it.

After a few breaths, a wooden box appeared in his hand, and as the wooden box was opened, a piece of jinpa came into Shen Ruiling's eyes.

After looking at the mountains and rivers depicted on the brocade handkerchief, Shen Ruiling immediately compared it with the scene in front of him.

However, he was surprised to find that the scene of mountains and rivers depicted on this brocade is almost exactly the same as the scene in front of him!

Looking at this jinpa and the scene in front of him, a strange look flashed across Shen Ruiling's face.

This wooden box and this Fang Jinpa were found from a ninth-layer bandit who practiced Qi when he was just building the foundation.

Back then, because he couldn't recognize the place depicted on the map, Shen Ruiling put the map away and didn't pay too much attention to it.

Over the years, this wooden box and this jinpa have been completely ignored by him. If he didn't think about it when he saw the scene in front of him today, I'm afraid he would continue to ignore it.
