518: C518 Shen Again?

C518 Shen Again?

Through Elder Xue's explanation, Nie Zhen gained a certain degree of understanding towards the scale and composition of Tianji Island.1

Seeing Nie Zhen nod, Elder Xue continued speaking, "And Xue'er's tragedy came from the conflict between the Yan Family, one of the seven great families of Origin Opening Holy Dynasty, and her Shen Family."

"Shen Family?" Nie Zhen was surprised for a moment. He had to remember that when he was reincarnated into this world, his first enemy was the Yutang Country clan. Could it be that his enemies in Tianji Island were still those with the surname Shen?

Elder Xue nodded his head, and said: "That's right, although the heritage of this Shen Family is not as deep as the Yan Clan's heritage, there is no doubt that it is without a doubt a top family with great influence, and it can even once be said to be a threat to the absolute position of the Origin Opening Holy Land. Comparatively speaking, although the Yan Clan has been around for a long time, they have started to go downhill, and in terms of status, they are only at the end of the seven great clans, and they are even on the verge of being kicked out of the seven great clans."

Nie Zhen understood that, although he did not know the competition rules at the Tianji Island s, he estimated that it was about the same as when he was reborn. After all, in this fist-sized world, the rules were all about the same.

But twenty years ago, something had changed. At that time, the daughter of a great elder of the Shen Family clan, father of the person who bitterly loved Xue'er, was Xue'er's father that was deeply in love with her mother. The last female of Shen Family, due to love and hatred for her mother, did not hesitate to use her own resources to attack the Yan Clan.

"Don't tell me!" Nie Zhen blurted out in shock.

Wu Tie nodded his head, and said decisively: "That's right, I didn't think about it, but ever since I heard about the Deadwood Soul Chasing Curse from Young Fellow Taoist Nie, I can confirm that the one who used the Deadwood Soul Chasing Curse on Xue'er, who was still in my stomach at the time, is definitely that girl!"

"So it's because of this Shen Family! "This person is vicious!" Killing intent burst out from Nie Zhen's heart. If it wasn't for the girl's love and hatred, Xue'er wouldn't have suffered such torture. If it wasn't for him, Xue'er might have died from the torture within a year due to the eruption of the curse.

However, Nie Zhen did not interrupt Elder Xue. He knew that there would definitely be more developments, and with the position of Shen Family in the Origin Opening Holy Dynasty, there was no way he could just let things go like this.

Elder Xue then said with a helpless look on his face: "When that woman cursed Xue'er, it was at the critical moment when Xue'er's mother was about to give birth to her, and that woman led a group of people to ambush Xue'er's parents. Although they were forced to retreat, other than the curse on Xue'er, her father also died due to serious injuries.

At this moment, Nie Zhen was filled with pity. Yan Ruoxue's life was much more pitiful than his own. Even though Nie Zhen's parents had both died in his previous life, at least he still had his caring father and sister in this life.

In the blink of an eye, sixteen years have passed. During these sixteen years, Xue'er has been raised by me and the Yan family's Madam, Yin You Yin. Because Xue'er and I have been together for a long time, they have become closer, and although that old woman has been kind to Xue'er, she has been very strict with her, so Xue'er is somewhat afraid of her.

Nie Zhen recalled that the Old Lady Yin who came with Ang Daoxu to pick Yan Ruoxue up was most likely the Yin Wei Yin that Elder Xue had mentioned.

"However, this matter is far from over. Although Xue'er's parents had both died, Shen Family was used as an excuse to fight against the Yan Clan after that woman had also fallen." However, this matter was far from over, and even though Xue'er's parents had both died, Shen Family used that woman as an excuse to investigate.

Nie Zhen frowned and said angrily, "Isn't this acting like a scoundrel trying to make a fool out of himself?!"

At that time, we all agreed that the Shen Family Clan was looking for this excuse on purpose. If they wanted to annex the Yan Clan, they would have to at least heavily injure the Yan Clan's vitality, after all, the Yan Clan was especially weak among the seven great clans. If the Shen Family were to annex the Yan Clan, then whether in terms of resources or momentum, it would greatly increase.

"At that time, the Yan Clan's clan leader was helpless to do anything. The Yan Clan's clan leader wanted to make peace, but Xue'er's parents have already fallen so even if he wanted to hand them over, he wouldn't be able to. And with the Yan Clan's strength, they definitely wouldn't be able to stop the Shen Family Clan."

Nie Zhen started to get nervous. He guessed that the next thing was related to Yan Ruoxue.

Xue'er's physique is extremely eerie, and right at this moment, the Shen Family clan has changed their words. As long as Xue'er can marry Shen Junhou, the son of the Shen Family clan's head, who is known as the number one genius in the younger generation, in the future, the Shen Family clan will not attack the Yan Clan, and will even form a marriage alliance with the Yan Clan. If the Yan Clan does not agree, then the fish will die and the net will be burnt to ashes.

Nie Zhen could already guess what would happen next. He could not help but sneer: "Then, this Yan Clan's patriarch, must be doing it for the greater good, so he could only be wronged, and agreed to Shen Family to spend Xue'er's lifetime of happiness in exchange for the condition that her clan would not be destroyed?"

Only now did Nie Zhen understand why Yan Ruoxue had told him that if she didn't see him in ten years, she would commit suicide. So there was such a reason.

Elder Xue solemnly nodded his head before shaking it again. With a slightly bitter expression, he said, "It's a little over … If it was only to let Xue'er and Shen Junhou get married, then even if Xue'er did not have any feelings for Shen Junhou, it would at least not be a place where she felt wronged. After all, Shen Junhou is the number one genius of the Origin Opening Holy Dynasty, and even the young generation of Origin Opening Holy Land have no one who could stand above him, and in the future, Xue'er will at least not disgrace Xue'er by marrying him. At the very most, Xue'er will lose the power to pursue her own happiness, but if Xue'er were to marry him, she would have to pay not only her own happiness and innocence, but also her life! "

"Hmm?!" Nie Zhen looked at the pained expression on Elder Xue's face and instantly felt that his previous thoughts were too simple. He immediately asked, "Elder Xue, what do you mean by that? Since Shen Junhou is going to marry Xue'er, then why would it endanger her life? "

Elder Xue helplessly let out a long sigh, and said to Wu Tie in a deep voice, "The problem is this damned Extreme Yin Body!"
