Shen Lian took a quick glance at him and said,
you can say so.


From Xuan Du Temple?
Lei Nuo’s eyes suddenly became sharp and his vigor was slightly boiling just like the boiling oil which gave out enormous heat energy. With his pristine Gang Qi, even a small movement could wipe away everything in front.
In Shen Lian’s eyes, he could see Lei Nuo’s essence was very condensed over his head. Any spirit which went slightly near him would be left with nothing but ashes.
However, when this kind of mighty force appeared in front of Shen Lian, it seemed like the wind blowing against the hill; there was no effect no him at all.
Lei Nuo, the Prefect Grand Usher of Xia Dynasty, the present Emperor Xia’s brother-in-law, one of the strongest in Youhu’s, was extremely shocked at this moment.


Shen Lian gradually opened his mouth and said,
do you think Xuan Du Temple can produce such a person like me?

Lei Nuo felt that Shen Lian was like an intangible black hole. No matter how his vigor was stimulated, how his Gang Qi had erupted, it was all sucked by Shen Lian and there was not a single bit left.
Shen Lian did not operate any of his supernatural Dao techniques, but it seemed like Lei Nuo had been in a battle for three days and nights. His sweat dropped and fell on the floor.
Lei Nuo wanted to open his mouth and he wanted to move, but he realised that his qi dynamic was being pulled by Shen Lian. There was no way that he could make any movement, as though he was in a nightmare.
This young lad right in front of him was way terrifying than any person he had ever met.
Shen Lian’s face was beamed with smiles. Lei Nuo slumped against the chair and said,
you must be the one that alerted Master Yinglong.


I think there’d not be someone like me who enters Diqiu in this period of time, am I right?
Shen Lian said.
Lei Nuo said,
indeed.

Then, he spoke in a cold tone,
since you’re clear that this is Diqiu, as long as you’re exposed, even if you have superhuman abilities, there’s no way you can escape from Diqiu.


What if I liaise with Tianyi?
Shen Lian asked.


Lei Nuo shuddered. He was not sure of how strong Tianyi was, but there were only Master Yinglong and Emperor Xia who were stronger than Tianyi in the entire Da Xia.
If Shen Lian liaised with Tianyi, it was possible that they would be able to escape from Diqiu after turning the entire Diqiu upside down.
For a second, Lei Nuo panicked but he was able to calm himself fast enough. Then he said,
what is it that you want to do? I can try my best to help you but I hope you don’t cause any trouble. I can help you to solve the minor problems.

Shen Lian’s eyes fell on Lei Nuo and noticed that his entire body was slightly shivering. That was a type of compression on the soul. In addition to that, due to the high security level in Da Xia, Lei Nuo’s powerful force was a waste. At this moment, he could not even think of revolt.
Shen Lian said,
I’m not a person who likes troubles. I come to Diqiu is to deliver the letter of credence, you can take a look at it.

He took out a letter of credence which the words on it was simple and good. What the letter was talking about the history of Xi Liang City since their ancestor’s generation. Then, they decided to build a country, hoping that they would get recognition from Da Xia.
Lei Nuo finished reading in a very short while and said,
I can help you to handle this.

He was finally relieved. At least he could see from the letter of credence that Shen Lian was someone that had origin, and this would be easier to handle. If it was someone like the Great Saint from demon clans who was fearless and could do anything as he wished, that would be a pain.
Just like Tianyi. If you were to meet him alone, it would be impossible to invite him to Diqiu, what more about imprisoning him in Xia Tai.
Nonetheless, one should not offend people like this, or else there would be a big trouble. One day, if he got annoyed and decided to attack the palace, even if he could be defeated in the end, it was already be a big laughing stock.


Shen Lian nodded his head and continued saying,
I’ve also brought our local specialty from Xi Liang Kingdom, this is also to be passed to you.

He took out a gourd from his sleeve, and a vague sound of water from inside could be heard.
With Lei Nuo’s vast knowledge, he could clearly see that the gourd is just an ordinary one, but he did not know what was so special about the water in it.
He smiled forcefully and said,
I’ll take this.

Shen Lian looked at him seriously, saying,
I hope you can drink this.

He delivered the gourd to Lei Nuo and his tone sounded like he would not allow any intervention.
Lei Nuo could feel that the surrounding space was about to collapse instantly and that he would be shattered into pieces at any moment. He would not die if he drank this water, but if he refused to, he might have to die immediately.
People would die in the end but at least, he did not want to die at this moment.
He spoke with much hesitation,
I drink.

The lethal threat vanished after he said that. Then, Lei Nuo carefully drank the water from the gourd.


Shen Lian nodded with satisfaction and said,
you have to know that the water that I presented to you originates from the Zimu River in our Xi Liang Kingdom. That was the foundation of our established kingdom. This water was not only taken from the Zimu River, but it was also specially made by me. Now do you feel that your entire body’s Qi and blood start to move towards your abdomen and agglomerating?

Lei Nuo had indeed felt it. His entire body’s Qi and blood essence started to move towards his abdomen and was agglomerating and he actually did not have any idea how to turn this around.
Qi and blood essence was his source of energy. He could clearly feel that he was weakening. As time passed by, this weakening feeling was getting stronger.
He asked with fear,
what’s the harm of this water from the Zimu river?

Shen Lian smiled while saying,
there’s golden elixir Yuan Ying in Daoism. I’m just gifting you a chance to have a child. Moreover, I’m actually very curious about why your bloodline can make you possess such strong power. Thus, when the time comes I’d help you to extract the Qi and blood essence but you shouldn’t take it out yourself without permission.

Lei Nuo was grinding his teeth while asking,
what will happen if I take out myself?


Before you take it out, it’d explode. You should be clear about how terrifying it would be once your Qi and blood essence explodes. Or it could crush you into pieces and also raze the surrounding of your study room,
Shen Lian was still smiling gently, whereas for Lei Nuo, he would rather face the Yecha King from San Yue Demon Kingdom than to see this young lad ever again.

If you want me to be your slave, I can tell you it’s impossible. I’d rather die now,
Lei Nuo spoked with hatred.

Don’t worry. I’m not interested to make you my slave. Now I want to know, if I want to stay in Diqiu quietly for a period of time and not to be disturbed at all, where should I go?
Shen Lian asked while clasping his hands behind his back.

I can authorise an instructions, and you can go to the Dynasty School in South City to look for Guan Longzi. He can help you to lead a stable life in Diqiu. But it’s better for you to not stay in Diqiu for too long,
Lei Nuo was in silence for a moment and finally said it.



Who’s Guan Longzi?


He’s the imperial astronomer.


Isn’t imperial astronomer supposed to be staying by the side of Emperor Xia to record about the lifestyle and country issues?


He’s been kicked out by the Emperor Xia.

Shen Lian said,
Fine. Then I’ll ask you another question.


You can ask anything.


About eight to nine years ago, did you take this girl in?
Shen Lian eyes were staring at Lei Nuo.
There was an image of a little girl’s surfacing in his heart. Take a closer look, she actually looked somehow similar to the Shen Lian in front of him.
