After arriving in Heavenly Emperor City, Shen Xiang only now knew how highly respected Eastern Yu was. He had been regarded as the successor of the Eastern Dynasty, but now his body lay desecrated.

The truth about whether Shen Xiang was the one who killed Eastern Yu remained uncertain, and no evidence could prove it. The Eastern Family assumed him to be the culprit based on the reward offered by the Magic Suppression Academy.

Upon arriving in Heavenly Emperor City, Shen Xiang was informed that the Eastern Family decided to cease their campaigns across all realms due to a directive from the Magic Suppression Academy. Eastern Yu’s grandfather held significant power at the Temple of Demon Subjugation, and his family committed numerous murders in the mortal world. This led to the Academy's intervention, thus restraining the Eastern Family’s expansion.

“The people behind the Magic Suppression Academy are all dead. Now, the academy has undergone significant changes for the better,” Shen Xiang sighed in relief. If the Eastern Family continued, a war across three realms might not even occur before self-destruction began in this New World.

In the grand palace outside Heavenly Emperor City, Shen Xiang marveled at the sight. This royal palace was built within the Mystical Realm; it appeared extravagant but served as only a facade, with an entrance to the Mystical Realm within.

Largely hidden strongholds of major forces were built within Mystical Realms, as they had the capability to control these realms for enhanced safety. Examples were Taiwu Mount’s Mystical Realm and Danxiang Taoist Paradise.

Initially intending to visit the Eastern Family, Shen Xiang was pleasantly surprised when he discovered a Mystical Realm hidden within. He felt an overwhelming itch, believing the realm might be full of treasures. Without exploring it, he wouldn’t get any rest.

Repeating his previous tactics, Shen Xiang incapacitated someone capable of freely entering the Eastern Family’s Mystical Realm and obtained their memories. He then used his metamorphosis skill to transform himself into this person, boldly entering the realm.

The person he transformed into was named Eastern Rong, an average-looking martial artist who led a patrol squad. His strength was within the Refinement Realm, and although his surname was Eastern, he wasn’t a member of the Eastern Family but rather a talented servant with granted name by the family.

“Captain, when will you grant us rest You can enjoy freedom outside, while we suffer; we need to patrol day and night,” a man complained.

The squad consisted of over thirty martial artists in the True Martial Realm. Despite being raised by the Eastern Family from childhood, they served as servants bound to their duties.

“The outside world is chaotic, and after merging with numerous realms, it’s vast. Several days ago, when a group of people left and never returned. For your safety, you won’t be allowed to go outside for a long time,” Shen Xiang explained based on Eastern Rong’s memories, implying measures to prevent escape.

As the new world expanded, finding someone who had escaped from such a distance was challenging. Thus, the Eastern Mystical Realm’s entrance became even more tightly controlled.

Listening to Shen Xiang, the patrol squad members instantly lost their spirits.

“Although you can’t go outside, it doesn’t mean we won’t let you rest. You have three days off and must stay where you live. Remember, don’t wander around,” Shen Xiang generously announced.

The thirty members of the patrol squad smiled, cheered up and left in a neat formation after hearing this.

As Shen Xiang transformed, he was now the squad’s leader. Below Nirvana Realm, his strength was considered commendable, allowing him to roam various parts of the Mystical Realm.

Based on Eastern Rong’s memories, Shen Xiang discovered that many significant areas existed within the realm. The closest one was in a mansion named 'Scented Moon'.

Just outside the Scented Moon mansion, Shen Xiang was greeted by a delicate voice: "Why are you alone in patrol today, Eastern Rong Where’s that group of useless people"

Upon hearing this voice, Shen Xiang’s heart skipped a beat. The sweet voice belonged to the owner of Scented Moon mansion, Eastern Xiumei—the sister of Eastern Family’s chief and a beautiful woman proficient in array formation. Many formidable arrays within the Mystical Realm were crafted by her, making her one of the strongest members in Eastern Family. Notably, she was said to be second only to someone within the family.

“Damn, how did this woman notice me” Shen Xiang was worried she might see through him. He had planned to approach the area, use the Nine Heavens Godly Immersion Technique to explore further and check for any hidden treasures.

However, he remained calm upon encountering such situations. Dealing with something like this never caused him any anxiety.

"Scented Moon Elder, that group of people demanded a holiday. I let them rest for ten days," Shen Xiang replied hurriedly, matching Eastern Rong’s voice and mannerisms.

“Come in.” Eastern Xiumei’s voice carried a commanding aura that was irresistible, yet it sounded soothing.

Now, Shen Xiang had to continue pretending. He walked into Scented Moon and arrived at a modest hall based on Eastern Rong’s memories.

“Behind the courtyard,” Eastern Xiumei seemed to know his every move, as her gentle voice echoed just after he sat down.

Shen Xiang was incredibly cautious. He suddenly didn’t want to continue but sought an excuse to leave, fearing discovery by this clever woman.

However, upon recalling Eastern Rong’s description of her appearance, he became very much interested in seeing her.

Exiting the hall, crossing a small path, he arrived at an elegant courtyard. A graceful silhouette stood elegantly beside a small pond, her snow-white dress gently flowing with the breeze. The pleasant scent of blossoms carried with it, leaving Shen Xiang in silent admiration.

Eastern Xiumei slowly turned around, her stunning appearance leaving Shen Xiang mesmerized. She smiled gently at him with sparkling eyes, making him feel warm and natural, yet she exuded a faint aura that kept people at a distance. The subtle pressure and assertiveness reminded him of his first encounter with Liu Meng’er.

“Greetings, Eastern Elder,” Shen Xiang quickly bowed.

“Tell me, what happened outside these days” Eastern Xiumei waved her elegant hand, indicating she didn’t need formalities. Her mature charm and gentle smile stirred something pure within Shen Xiang’s heart.

Shen Xiang quickly lowered his head, then spoke about recent events outside. Despite the New World being over two years old by now, Eastern Xiumei had not stepped out of the Mystical Realm.

Even in past times, Eastern Xiumei rarely ventured outside. She mostly received news through the servants.這王老頭的屍體她一定會給。和沈翔之前猜想的一樣，龍家發生了變故，龍慧姍的族長老爹死了，按照規矩，位置應該是傳給族長的子女，隻不過除了龍慧姍，族長的其他兒子全部被殺死，隻有龍慧姍還或活著。為了得到族長位置的大伯，不惜一切要斬殺龍慧姍，不過龍慧姍被族內的一名強者保護著，那名強者顯然就是之前沈翔感應到的那個，現在應該死了。“這小妞真是深藏不露呀，她正在套王老頭的話，想知道殺死她叔祖的人是誰，不用猜都知道...
