Chapter 887 - 779: Shen Mansion
Chapter 887: Chapter 779: Shen Mansion
The people from Xiaoyao Peak and the Yun Mansion appeared openly in Great Wei.
Such openness naturally led many to spread the word to the Southern Heaven Continent.
However, this time, they received no response.
And soon, they received news regarding You Wanying.
Major sect forces with disciples training on the Southern Heaven Continent began to send messages back.
In the Southern Heaven Continent, the news of Shen Han overpowering Wanhe Palace had now reached even the lowest-ranking disciples of the sects.
Back then, You Wanying, who was gathering information on Shen Han, was also crippled by him and directly taken elsewhere.
During their stay at Xiaoyao Peak, many spies arrived.
They likely wanted to see if the rumors from the Southern Heaven Continent were true.
As soon as these people got close, they felt as though their strength vanished in an instant.
If Shen Han had free time, he would invite them to the cemetery to see You Wanying kneeling, allowing them to burn a stick of incense.
A month passed, and everyone in Great Wei knew about Shen Han’s true strength.
Various speculations emerged, but the most frequent one said that Shen Han had now stepped into the First-Grade Immortal Realm.
The existence of the rumored realm once again descended upon the world.
The several Second-Grade Immortal experts of Great Wei couldn’t resist coming over.
After experiencing the overwhelmingly suffocating strength, they no longer entertained other thoughts.
The news began to spread in Great Wei as well.
An Immortal of the First Grade, unseen for a thousand years, had descended upon Great Wei.
His might and presence meant that even the Illusion Realm experts of the Southern Heaven Continent could only watch from afar.
As these news spread, various unsettling emotions also began to spread.
Like those major sects on the Southern Heaven Continent, there were worries that Shen Han might overturn the current situation in Great Wei, causing upheaval.
With Shen Han’s strength, accomplishing these things is indeed quite easy, quite simple.
A month or two passed, yet nothing happened.
The situation remained calm as ever.
After resting for a while at Xiaoyao Peak, Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu then prepared to travel around this world, to explore its beauties.
Originally it was a personal journey for the two, but upon hearing of it, Yun Shuang insisted on joining them.
Not particularly interested in cultivation, she had long wanted to stroll around different places.
Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu naturally did not refuse, inviting her and Cailing to travel together.
The first stop for the four was Yun’an City.
Here, Shen Han probably endured the most trying years of his life.
Some people reminisce about the past, often saying it was tough back then, yet also joyful.
But for Shen Han, it was tough then, and certainly not joyful.
Thankfully, during those days, he had Yun Shuang taking care of him.
Without her protection and aid, his life would have been much worse.
Returning to an old haunt might perhaps be a way to flaunt his return in fine clothes.
Shen Han did not deny that, perhaps subconsciously, he had this notion.
But more importantly, Shen Han wanted to meet old acquaintances.
The neighbors and folks of Yun’an City were all familiar faces to him.
And then there was Prefect Xu, whose care helped him avoid some conspiracies.
If any of the old acquaintances had requests, he would assist if possible.
After the boat docked outside Yun’an City, the four walked into the city.
The old parasol tree by the city gate seemed unchanged, still just as stout.
Serenity and freedom—these were all Shen Han sought, much like this.
Shen Han had no intention of disrupting the current order, merely seeking comfort for himself and those around him.
The four leisurely wandered through the city, sampling the familiar snacks of yore.
As they passed by, Shen Han even bought a piece of naan.
In those days when he was penniless, Madam Yun was also restricted by the Old Dowager from sending food.
Without work, Shen Han would survive on this kind of naan.
When extremely hungry, a bite of naan washed down with some water could suffice.
The vendors of Yun’an City also recognized Shen Han and his companions.
They had all heard the news about Shen Han.
In Yun’an City, Fifth Grade strength was considered remarkable, let alone the rumored First Grade.
Many felt a bit nervous upon seeing Shen Han.
Yet, in interactions, they found Shen Han seemed unchanged from before.
After wandering, Shen Han went to visit Prefect Xu.
With the connection between the Southern Heaven Continent and Great Wei, the Imperial Family’s control over various cities had weakened.
Fortunately, Yun’an City had no resources or anything noteworthy to attract attention.
Under Prefect Xu’s management, the city’s order continued to be maintained smoothly.
Knowing Shen Han’s current status and his willingness to visit, Prefect Xu felt a bit flattered.
He set aside space in the residence to welcome the four.
He even had someone invite the city’s top chef to the mansion to prepare a feast.
Looking at Shen Han before him, Prefect Xu was momentarily at a loss for words, taking a while to recover slightly.
As they talked and grew more familiar, Prefect Xu gradually relaxed.
He felt that the present Shen Han hadn’t changed much from the past; his demeanor and conduct remained proper and courteous, his manners seemingly ingrained deep within.
Unlike some who, after gaining a bit of power, seemed to have an entirely different aura.
During their casual chat, Prefect Xu couldn’t help but mention.
"I’ve heard that those from the Shen Family have all returned."
Upon hearing this, before Shen Han could respond, Yun Shuang turned her head abruptly to ask.
"Returned where? Has Shen Qingshan and the others all come back to Yun’an City?"
Prefect Xu nodded.
