I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 754 Encounter at Phoenix Mountain

Along with Master Zhixi and Shen Yu, Shen Wei and Shen Yi also joined the journey, one to express gratitude, the other to reminisce. Accompanying them were Shen Yi's son Mo Zonghan and Shen Wei's daughter Shen Qian.

It was an all-out expedition.

The Mo Family's charioteer drove, with Master Zhixi and Shen Yu sitting beside him, while the other four sat inside the carriage, speeding along the same path Shen Yu had taken out of the city.

"Donor Shen, could you please elaborate on what happened just now?" Master Zhixi said to Shen Yu.

Although uncertain about the demon's prowess, being able to capture it with one move suggested Shen Ying's magical power wasn't weak, so Master Zhixi hoped to gain some preliminary understanding, even a bit. After all... one needs to be prepared for any eventuality, right?

"Uh... elaborate..." Shen Yu felt a bit awkward, recalling his recent eagerness towards Wang Manzhu. Did he have to mention that?

But if he didn't, what if the monk wanted to observe the battlefield, which was actually located in the woods behind the mountain? How would he explain?

"What's the matter? Does Donor Shen have any concerns?" Master Zhixi's eyes narrowed as he feigned confusion.

"Xiao Yu, Master Zhixi asked a question, just honestly recount the events!" Shen Wei said solemnly.

"Yes!" Shen Yu nodded with a bitter expression, starting from when he brought Wang Manzhu to the Shen Family ancestral graves and discovered new white streamers and offerings before Shen Yue and his wife's tombstone.

...

"Then, Wang Manzhu wanted to have some secret conversations with me, so I took her to the small forest in the back mountain..."

"Tsk—" There was a snicker from Mo Zonghan inside the carriage, unable to hold back.

"Zonghan!"

"Sorry, cousin, please continue!"

"Ahem!" Shen Yu coughed twice and continued to narrate.

...

"I saw her about to bite me, then suddenly there was a scream, she fell backward, tried to escape but collapsed on the ground, seemingly held down unable to move." Shen Yu said.

As for Shen Ying's display of those shimmering peach blossoms and Peach Blossom Evil, they were fleeting. Shen Yu, in a state of shock, hadn't noticed them at all.

"Ah, so it was a Mouse Spirit!" Master Zhixi nodded.

"Uh... truly disgusting..." Mo Zonghan inside the carriage piped up again.

For the first time, Shen Yu found his cousin so annoying, ignoring him, he continued, "Then she pleaded for mercy, I thanked her, and when I looked up, I saw Aunt and another man."

"What?" Master Zhixi was startled, quickly asking, "Another man? There was someone else?"

Shen Yu nodded, "Yes, there was another person."

Master Zhixi was somewhat bewildered. Such an important detail, you're just mentioning it now?

Inside the carriage, Shen Wei couldn't help but chastise, "Why didn't you mention it earlier?"

"I... I..." Shen Yu thought you didn't ask earlier, but couldn't say that, so he said, "He didn't intervene from beginning to end, so I didn't mention him."

Master Zhixi shook his head, saying, "Continue."

"Yes, yes!" Shen Yu nodded repeatedly and then recounted the conversation between Lu Zheng, the two of them, and the Mouse Spirit, as well as the process of asking if he knew Wang Manzhu.

"Then Aunt seemed to move her hand, and she died, transforming into a three-foot-long rat. Afterward, Aunt moved her hand again, the ground under the large rat cracked open and swallowed her, reverting back to the original state."

Following Shen Ying's inquiry and his own speculation, finally saying, "I wanted to invite Aunt to come home with me, but when I looked up, she and that man had disappeared, so I hurried back home."

Finished narrating, Master Zhixi pondered silently, speculating inwardly, "That Mouse Spirit's essence couldn't hide its Demon Qi during broad daylight, so it's just a Little Demon with fifty to seventy years of Dao Practice, but that female ghost subdued her immediately. She must have at least one hundred and fifty years of Dao Practice, possibly two hundred if the accompanying man is similar..."

Master Zhixi shook his head, deciding to speak carefully when they met later.

...

Soon, they arrived at the ancestral graves, seeing the offerings in front of Shen Yue and his wife's tombstone, then looked at the other graves. Shen Yi shook her head, saying to Shen Wei, "They're all ancestors of the Shen Family. During future ancestor worship, equal treatment is necessary, at least light some incense and offer some fruits."

Shen Wei nodded repeatedly.

Master Zhixi observed the two for a moment, noting their somewhat awkward expressions throughout the journey. He sensed some discord between them, but judging from Shen Ying's rescue, it seemed not to be a matter of life-and-death enmity.

At the tomb, Master Zhixi didn't touch the offerings, just formed a hand seal, then drew a strand of the aura from the burning incense into his hand.

With a decisive gesture and application of magic, the aura was drawn, pointing east.

"Phoenix Mountain!"

"Phoenix Mountain?" Shen Yi's eyes flickered, "Cousin Ying went to Phoenix Mountain to hike?"

So the group followed Master Zhixi's guidance, on their way to Phoenix Mountain.

...

Phoenix Mountain.

Today, under bright sunshine and scattered white clouds, Lu Zheng and Shen Ying held hands climbing the mountain, passing through Phoenix Tail Forest, Phoenix Feather Waterfall, and Phoenix Wing Gorge, finally reaching a scenic pavilion halfway up.

Phoenix Perch Pavilion.

"There are quite a few tourists."

Now spring is warm, flowers blooming, the sunshine and clear sky make it a perfect day for hiking and sightseeing, so the Phoenix Mountain is bustling with visitors walking along the carved main trail.

Lu Zheng and Shen Ying waited a while until the tourists resting in Phoenix Perch Pavilion left. They entered the pavilion, gazing over the lush green trees covering Phoenix Mountain, surrounded by mountain ranges resembling a phoenix spreading its wings, and the peak they stood at being Phoenix Head Peak.

"I used to visit Phoenix Mountain a lot," Shen Ying said with a smile, "Only I lacked strength, only climbed to the peak once, thereafter only reached slightly above Phoenix Beak Rock."

"Then today let's climb to the peak again," Lu Zheng said with a smile.

"Of course!" Shen Ying replied with a smile.

Her smile emitted irresistible charm, captivating some scholars who had just climbed up to Phoenix Perch Pavilion and felt their fatigue vanish, energized enough to continue upwards.

Then Shen Ying led Lu Zheng away from Phoenix Perch Pavilion, continuing along the mountain path.

"The further up we go, the tougher the path…" Shen Ying said while deftly leaping over the stone step.

"I see that," Lu Zheng nodded, noticing fewer people as they ascended. With no one around now, he gently leaped beside Shen Ying.

"Over there is Phoenix Beak Rock, with many inscriptions from predecessors," Shen Ying said as they walked. When they reached Phoenix Beak Rock, they paused.

"Someone is approaching us using Qi Seeking Skill," Shen Ying noted.

Lu Zheng raised a brow, "Could it be there's still an Abnormal People in the Shen Family?"

The two stopped, and after a moment, saw Master Zhixi leading the group from the Shen Family, empowered with Divine Movement Technique.
