Chapter 274 Immersed in one's own world
"Is there a problem with the barrier?" Li Tianhen asked coldly. Although Shang Ming didn't speak, the worry in his eyes was genuine.
It wasn't that he wasn't worried about the human world, but rather that he wondered what his uncle was up to this time.
If the Heavenly Demon finds out that he is with Si Nansheng and the others, he will likely cause trouble. At that time, the Four Gods Sect will definitely be his first choice to destroy.
Even Si Nansheng is very likely to become his primary target.
Shang Ming may not care about others, but he cannot ignore the people of the Four Gods Sect and Si Nansheng.
"Have you figured out what to do?" Li Tianhen asked Shang Ming.
"Now, all I can do is recover my cultivation and heal my injuries as quickly as possible so I can return to the Demon Realm."
When it came time to leave, Shang Ming's expression darkened, and he turned to look at Si Nansheng's room.
If they really leave this time, they may not know when they will see each other again.
Therefore, before leaving, he needed to find an opportunity to explain his identity to Si Nansheng.
Regardless of whether Si Nansheng could accept it, he didn't want to keep it a secret any longer.
"You are now a mature demon prince. Think carefully about what decisions you should make." Li Tianhen spoke slowly to Shang Ming, who nodded.
Bai Ye didn't return until Si Nansheng came out of the small world. Si Nansheng quickly poured him a glass of water.
"Third Senior Brother, why have you been gone for so long?" Si Nansheng looked at Bai Ye with a puzzled expression. Bai Ye gulped down a cup of water and took a deep breath.
"Many people didn't know the place. Later, I met someone who knew the place and found it. However, things got a bit complicated."
Bai Ye looked at Si Nansheng, his brows furrowing slightly, unsure how to explain what he had seen.
"What happened?" Li Tianhen walked over.
“I found Yi Ziwen’s grave. Nan Qingfeng wasn’t nearby, but I found serious signs of a fight there.”
Bai Ye's explanation caused both Li Tianhen and Si Nansheng to frown.
"That Yi Ziwen's cultivation technique has been crippled. Although he has a lot of cultivation, he shouldn't be able to cause any trouble."
Those signs of fighting shouldn't have anything to do with him, so..." Shang Ming looked at Si Nansheng with some concern.
"Therefore, those signs of fighting most likely indicate that Nan Qingfeng was fighting with someone. The most likely scenario is that Liu Xuewei and the others arrived while Nan Qingfeng was cleaning up Yi Ziwen's mess."
Si Nansheng picked up where Shang Ming left off. Shang Ming nodded. Outside the Holy Domain, the only one who had a deep-seated grudge against Nan Qingfeng was probably Liu Xuewei.
Of course, Liu Xuewei didn't hate Nan Qingfeng, but Si Nansheng.
In particular, when the news that Si Nansheng was the niece of the Holy Lord of the Holy Domain reached Liu Xuewei's ears, she definitely couldn't accept it.
As for Yi Ziwen's death and Nan Qingfeng leaving the Holy Domain to collect his body, I'm afraid it was all a conspiracy by Liu Xuewei and her group.
"Shall we go take a look?" Li Tianhen asked Si Nansheng slowly, and Si Nansheng nodded.
Bai Ye led the way, and the group of four headed to the place where the fight had taken place.
The surrounding area was severely damaged, with signs of fire, freezing, and sword marks.
“There is indeed the scent of Nan Qingfeng here, as well as the scent of Liu Xuewei.” Li Tianhen looked around and spoke slowly.
"It looks like they're fighting pretty fiercely. I wonder how Nan Qingfeng is doing now." Si Nansheng sighed and began to look around.
The place was severely damaged; apart from the intensity of the battle, nothing else could be discerned.
"He should still be alive. There are footprints here, and the steps are light, so he must have been seriously injured." Si Nansheng squatted on the ground, looking at the footprints on the ground, and slowly spoke.
Li Tianhen walked up to Si Nansheng and felt a headache coming on when he saw the footprints.
"This is troublesome. The Nine Provinces Continent is so vast. Even if he is still alive, it will probably be difficult to find him."
"As long as he's still alive, we'll definitely find him." Si Nansheng wasn't sure about Nan Qingfeng's current situation, so she took out a communication talisman to try and contact him, but there was still no reply.
"Should we tell the Holy Lord and the others?" Li Tianhen asked Si Nansheng for his opinion.
"Let's not talk to them yet. Let's wait until we find them. Right now, we don't have any news at all. Talking to them will only make them worry."
Having no idea where Nan Qingfeng was, Si Nansheng decided to go back first and try to find him by asking around.
"Then let's go. Your senior brother and the others probably know we're back and are waiting anxiously at the Four Gods Sect." Li Tianhen rubbed Si Nansheng's head.
"Do the senior brothers already know? Then let's hurry up and go!" Si Nansheng became anxious as soon as he heard that Ye Yanqing and the others were waiting.
"Alright, let's go then." Li Tianhen smiled helplessly as he saw how happy Si Nansheng was.
She's forgotten about Nan Qingfeng so quickly; this little girl is really heartless.
Sitting on the spirit boat returning to the Four Gods Sect, Si Nansheng was very excited.
Shang Ming, who used to always be by Si Nansheng's side, sat quietly on a high place, looking into the distance.
Si Nansheng tried to talk to him several times, but found that he seemed to be completely immersed in his own world.
"Master, what happened between you and Shang Ming while I was resting?" Si Nansheng asked Li Tianhen, who shook his head.
There are some things that Shang Ming wants to tell Si Nansheng himself, so as an elder, he won't get involved.
Si Nansheng scratched his head in confusion. What was going on with Shang Ming?
Bai Ye was preparing food, but Shang Ming ignored her, so she went to help Bai Ye cook.
Shang Ming looked into the distance, and because of the demonic energy mixed in with the spiritual energy, the demonic energy in his body circulated uncontrollably for a moment.
But in that instant, not only Li Tianhen noticed, but Si Nansheng also sensed something was wrong. She turned to look at Shang Ming, who seemed oblivious.
Besides them, several other people also sensed Shang Ming's presence.
“It’s His Highness’s aura, there’s no mistake.” One of them stood up excitedly.
“It was indeed His Highness’s aura, but it only appeared for a moment. We hadn’t been able to find it for the past few months. His Highness must have encountered some trouble.”
"Lord Shadow Demon, shall we go to find His Highness?"
"We definitely need to look for him, but it will only be for a moment. I don't know if His Highness will be gone by the time we get there."
The Shadow Demon was a young man dressed in a black brocade robe with long, flowing hair.
Beneath his brows were unfathomable tiger eyes; he was tall and slender, and his appearance was quite handsome.
"Oh dear, whether it's there or not, how will we know if we don't go look for it? Enough with the nonsense, let's go find His Highness first. If the Heavenly Demons find him first, His Highness will be in danger."
The burly man hurriedly walked out, but was easily grabbed by the Shadow Demon.
“I know you are very anxious, but His Highness was seriously injured when he escaped. There is no demonic energy in the Nine Provinces Continent, so his injuries could not possibly have healed so quickly.”
Therefore, he is most likely with human cultivators. If we rashly go to find him and they find out his identity, what do you think will happen?
Shadow Fiend looked helplessly at his hot-blooded but brainless companion.
