Chapter 1433: What A Wealthy Son-In-Law
Imperial Teacher Residence! Those three words explained everything. With this information, Xiang Shaoyun would know who the culprit was even if he was a fool.
His eyes flickered murderously as he said, "After killing one person, the big shot behind him will move against me. Looks like everyone thinks that I can be easily bullied. If I don't show them how ruthless I can get, everyone will think that I'm soft."
Xiang Shaoyun did not charge straight to the Imperial Teacher Residence. That was a place protected by God Realm experts. He had to think of a different way to deal them painful damage.
He brought the Four Night Saints back to the ground and allowed them to recover. He then asked about the Imperial Teacher Residence, gaining more understanding of that place before thinking of his next move.
Before long, he learned from the Four Night Saints that the Imperial Teacher Residence possessed a hidden army under the Four Night Saints' control. This army was in charge of assassinating the Imperial Teacher Residence's political enemies in the Dusk Dynasty. Additionally, this army was also in charge of handling all sorts of illegal and shady activities on behalf of the Imperial Teacher Residence, such as plundering the treasures of the imperial palace and selling the Dusk Dynasty's information to other dynasties for massive profit.
This information was enough to destroy the Imperial Teacher Residence's reputation. Xiang Shaoyun was surprised at how treacherous the Imperial Teacher Residence was. They had even betrayed their own dynasty. That was quite an eye-opening thing to learn for Xiang Shaoyun.
"It truly has been hard for the Dusk Dynasty to remain standing with such a big parasite in it," lamented Xiang Shaoyun.
He then thought of an idea. He wanted to expose the Imperial Teacher Residence and make use of the imperial clan to deal with the Imperial Teacher Residence. Having made up his mind, he assigned the Four Night Saints several tasks, preparing to cause some chaos in the Dusk Dynasty.
The Dusk Dynasty had yet to fully suppress the new devil invasion when the emperor learned of the Imperial Teacher Residence's betrayal. Instantly, the Imperial Teacher Residence sank into crisis.
As the second prince was still competing against the first prince, upon learning of the Imperial Teacher Residence's crisis, he had his backers create an even bigger ruckus out of the betrayal. For a moment, the Imperial Teacher Residence seemed on the verge of collapse.
Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun returned to the Four Night Saints. He did not pay too much attention to the Dusk Dynasty because he could easily find out what he wanted to know with the Four Night Saints.
Upon arriving at the Fox Range, Hu Detian personally came out to welcome him, accompanied by several fox elders. They gave him an excessively warm welcome.
"Virtuous son-in-law, I heard that you're now ranked first on the Saintly Forest Ranking. Is that true?" asked Hu Detian.
Xiang Shaoyun was surprised to learn that news had spread that fast. He nodded and said, "Yes. You're quite informed, Father-in-Law."
"Haha, we still need to pay some attention to certain news. How could the fox race continue surviving otherwise?" said Hu Detian with a chortle. He then invited Xiang Shaoyun into his cave dwelling.
Xiang Shaoyun was somewhat disappointed to learn that Hu Meihui was still in seclusion, but he didn't feel too bad about it. He moved on to a different topic and mentioned to Hu Detian that he wished to lay out a teleportation formation in the Fox Range to connect the Fox Range with the Ziling Sect.
In the past, Hu Detian would definitely carefully consider such a proposal. But with Xiang Shaoyun's current fame, he agreed unhesitatingly. However, the Fox Range was too far away from the Ziling Sect. Saints would not be enough to fully connect the spatial nodes of the two locations. Moreover, they would also require a massive amount of materials for the endeavor, as they needed a god-grade formation to cover such a long distance.
Hu Detian asked doubtfully, "Virtuous son-in-law, this place is located within the Central Region. It won't be that easy to establish a teleportation formation leading to your place in the Western Desert."
Xiang Shaoyun smiled and said, "Father-in-Law, help me gather some materials. I'll lay out the formation. You don't have to worry about anything else. I can handle the rest of the work."
"Don't tell me you're a formation grandmaster as well?" said Hu Detian.
"You'll know soon," said Xiang Shaoyun.
And thus, Xiang Shaoyun started roaming the 108 mountains in the Fox Range, looking for the perfect location for the teleportation formation. With the divine dao eyes, his eyesight had become incredibly powerful, capable of seeing through everything. He was able to quickly discover a spirit crystal vein in a certain mountain near the fox race's main mountain.
The vein wasn't particularly large, but it contained high-grade spirit crystals. With a wave of his hand, Xiang Shaoyun split the mountain and exposed the vein within. Instead of digging the spirit crystals out, he started laying out the formation near the vein.
This time, he was going to construct something more than a teleportation formation. He aimed to combine the teleportation formation with a spirit gathering formation, turning the area into a blessed land where dense spiritual energy converged. Perhaps one day, the vein would be upgraded into a saint crystal vein that would strengthen the fox race's accumulation.
Hu Detian knew that Xiang Shaoyun was strong, but he had never imagined that Xiang Shaoyun had such good eyes either. Xiang Shaoyun had actually discovered a spirit crystal vein within their territory so quickly. Furthermore, Xiang Shaoyun's formation mastery seemed to be exceptional as well.
Using his finger, Xiang Shaoyun kept drawing on the ground, sending one shining line after another deep into the ground. The lines served as a series of complicated formation lines. Before long, the frame of the teleportation formation was completed. Xiang Shaoyun and Hu Detian only needed to add the required materials to fully complete the formation. After having Hu Detian gather some materials and contributing some materials himself, Xiang Shaoyun finally finished the formation.
When the task was completed, Hu Detian came over and praised, "Virtuous son-in-law, it is truly a surprise that you're so proficient in formations as well. With your mastery, you can be considered a saint formation master." He rubbed his hands and asked, "Will it be possible for you to upgrade our defensive formation as well?"
"Of course," Xiang Shaoyun agreed unhesitatingly.
Hu Detian was overjoyed. He was more and more pleased with this son-in-law. After spending some time, Xiang Shaoyun finished upgrading the defensive formation, doubling its defensive prowess. It was unfortunate that he was limited by the materials he had. Otherwise, he could further upgrade the formation.
"Well done! Thank you, virtuous son-in-law," said Hu Detian joyfully.
The fox elders also thanked Xiang Shaoyun one after another. They were finding Xiang Shaoyun more and more to their liking. They also seemed slightly deferential toward Xiang Shaoyun. After all, a saint formation master was extremely rare.
Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand and said, "It's no trouble at all. I'm going to return to the Ziling Sect. After some time, I will connect the two formations and complete the final step of the formation construction. That way, it will be much easier for us to stay connected to each other."
"That's right. Now that the devils are invading the dominion nearby, nobody knows when the invasion will reach us," said Hu Detian with a worried look.
