If they did, their extravagant space might be even more lavish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation realm was just average, but he had a big heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a short period, Zhu Shen reached the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many Immortal Ascension Platform cultivators standing around. Although Shangguan Qicheng was also an immortal, he had an extraordinary temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His future was indeed limitless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Clan Leader Shangguan.\" Zhu Shen politely bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura was restrained. His aura looked ordinary, but it had a heaviness to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one dared to underestimate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Zhu, thank you for coming.\" Shangguan Qicheng did not dare to be arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not tell what cultivation realm the person before him was in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the divine light of the power technique around his body was restrained, and he could not detect the source at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one could see his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more powerful people they sent, the more it showed that they valued the Shangguan Clan very highly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he still had to be wary of such an expert. Just one of them was enough to bring about a great disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, although Shangguan Qicheng looked polite enough, he had secretly communicated with the clan protecting the immortal beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were any unusual movements, they would be notified immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're too polite,\" Zhu Shen said with a smile. \"I'm just here today to run an errand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An errand?\" Shangguan Qicheng was a little surprised. \"What kind of person can make the great Mr. Zhu run errands?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qicheng had a sense of how powerful the person in front of him was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if everyone present combined their strength, they would not be a match for this individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just following orders. I really don't know who sent this letter,\" said Zhu Shen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Tao had given him a letter and asked him to deliver it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he had his suspicions. He had only delivered two letters to date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was to Chi Tian and another to the Shangguan Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two might be related.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it on orders of the Master of the Heavenly Tower?\" Shangguan Qicheng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, that would be even more impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who exactly could deal directly with the Master of the Heavenly Tower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naturally. I'm here under the instruction of the Master of the Heavenly Tower,\" said Zhu Shen as he took out the envelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not sealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The letter was handed to Shangguan Qicheng in a way that no one present could understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the unsealed envelope, Shangguan Qicheng frowned. This seemed rather casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that the Master of the Heavenly Tower must have read it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the looks of it, the Master of the Heavenly Tower did not think much of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Shen did not leave. He stood where he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to wait for the other party to finish reading the letter before he could return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Shangguan Qicheng had already taken the letter out of the envelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very curious about who sent the letter and what its contents were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their clan was rising rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone must have extended an olive branch to them to cooperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People had their vanity. They could refuse, but the fact that someone had extended an olive branch was important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after opening the folded paper, Shangguan Qicheng frowned. He looked at it with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a few words on it: \"Let's part on good terms. Smiling San Sheng's cooperation with every one of you has officially ended.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The simple words did not impress Shangguan Qicheng. He thought the other party did not dare to come overseas. He had no choice but to send a simple note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qicheng sneered. \"Smiling San Sheng is indeed nothing great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Shen did not stay any longer. \"Since the clan leader has read the letter, I'll depart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Zhu Shen turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qicheng did not stay either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left the letter in the main hall for the others to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the letter, everyone laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling San Sheng was both angry and helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only use this way to give himself a graceful exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shangguan Clan was beyond his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Shangguan Qingsu watched Zhu Shen leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just seemed like the other party glanced at her from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made her quite frightened, but fortunately, he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the Shangguan Clan burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Shangguan Qingsu feel a little dejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shangguan Clan had really begun to walk the path to greater heights, and she was nothing more than a street rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could no longer cultivate wholeheartedly like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was sure she would be back to her past days of struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could she join the Shangguan Clan again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was definitely not an option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps reality would force her to join in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, at the moment, she had missed her chance. If she joined, she would definitely be considered inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, she had already sworn allegiance to the number one in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also became a hidden danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she defected now, she would lose this backing forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe one day, the number one throughout history would remember her, and the overall situation would change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Shangguan Qingsu returned to her cultivation place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already January.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hundred Nights Curse was about to arrive, so she needed to make some preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to deal with it with all her might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, she wished she was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it might not be any better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not like being so vulnerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the Hidden Cloud Prefecture in the South, Bi Zhu approached the edge of the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She heard Gu Changsheng's voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, eighteen-year-old girl, how are things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, what do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1097,"2026-06-03T11:46:24.082Z","2026-06-03T11:46:31.183Z",1,"novelbin.me","eed924a48c6286b2c7955c1ad21d2d953012a16d74139c675f1411d4340ec18b","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1400","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1398",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
