My Cultivation Starting from Archery

After dealing with the matters of the Floral Medicine Palace, Chen Sansi returned to the Boundless Hall, stopped the puppet, personally handled some state affairs, and then summoned Little Bamboo.

"Reporting to Your Majesty."

Dongfang Jingxing meticulously reported: "Alchemy, talisman painting, formation, various Dao paths, have all selected personnel for training. The list is here for Your Majesty's review."

"Zhu Chichi."

Chen Sansi saw Zhu Tong's second daughter, currently practicing puppetry technique in Sky Wall City, while descendants of Zhao Kang, Feng Yong, and others are also there.

However, most are not so fortunate; either they lack a Spirit Root, or their Martial Arts qualifications are poor, so they can only serve in the ordinary army.

After managing affairs in Sky Wall City, Chen Sansi returned to the rear palace.

At this time, it was May of the twelfth year of Tian Wu, which was also the Empress's tenth month of pregnancy, and if nothing went wrong, she should give birth soon.

Chen Sansi didn't want to miss the birth of the child, so he decided to linger in the palace for several days.

About five days later.

He was carving a puppet in the sleeping quarters when Nian Xia suddenly rushed in: "Your Majesty, the Noble Consort is about to give birth."

"Oh? Quickly take me there."

Chen Sansi immediately set aside his work and followed the female official to Yonghe Palace, where he found the Empress also waiting.

"Your Majesty, I greet you."

"No need for formalities."

After inquiring about the situation, Chen Sansi quietly waited.

Half an incense stick later, the palace maid responsible for delivery opened the hall doors, excitedly performing a courtesy and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Noble Consort has gifted our Great Han with a princess."

"Wonderful."

Chen Sansi stepped over the threshold and, with the Empress, went in to see the bedridden Noble Consort. Then he picked up the princess and checked her qualifications naturally.

"She actually has a Spirit Root."

He was somewhat surprised, as Sun Li had no Spirit Root herself, and he had previously had an inferior spiritual root; yet their child possessed a Spirit Root.

"Your two sisters, one is named Yunxi, the other is Yun Huan, henceforth, you shall be named Yun Mei."

Chen Sansi named her.

He placed the child back on the bed and helped care for them for two more days, until most trifling matters were resolved, then bid farewell to his family and headed directly to Sky Water Continent.

...

"The number of patrol cultivators has increased considerably."

Chen Sansi walked through the wilderness of Beiyang Dao, frequently encountering patrol teams from the Demon Suppression Department and Shengyun Sect. Both on land and in the sky, anyone they encountered was questioned thoroughly.

Any outsider loose cultivators, or those with unknown identities, were all taken back for verification.

Thankfully, Chen Sansi posed as the late old man Mo Zhu, passing as a genuine local, and was generally not troubled.

Such a commotion stemmed from two events.

Firstly, the situation within the Nine Nether forbidden zone.

Chen Sansi only discovered this upon his return.

After he left, all the disciples from Spirit Silence Cave and Shengyun Sect who entered the forbidden zone died violently inside, with none surviving!

A staggering over a hundred!

Including Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators!

Not a single person returned alive!

Even Core Formation cultivators from the Great Swamp main peak were alarmed.

Others may not understand what transpired, but Chen Sansi knew all too well.

The blind woman slaughtered over a hundred people by herself!

Chen Sansi's mind couldn't help but recall the dangerous sensation he felt upon first encountering the blind woman. Although the later encounter with universal law prohibition made him underestimate her as a Magic Cultivator.

Even he found it somewhat incredible.

Truly filled with wonder.

Additionally...

Jiang Xiyue had rushed to Beiyang Dao from Qingxu Sect, likely not solely to seek treasures; she might also be involved in Bai family's affairs.

This suggests Chen Sansi might soon meet the blind woman again.

Secondly, Demon Cultivators' activities became more rampant.

A large number of mortal populations disappeared, especially boys and girls.

Beiyang Dao, under Shengyun Sect's jurisdiction, prompted both Shengyun Sect and the Demon Suppression Department to continually increase their personnel to search for traces of Seven Kill Sect disciples.

"It seems, after Luoxia Mountain, their proselytizing continues, though what exactly they plot remains unknown."

Unknowingly, Chen Sansi returned to Dusk Valley.

He had a crucial matter to attend to.

Within the Nine Nether forbidden zone, those who ambushed Bai Family Ancestor mentioned deliberately letting people go; hence, the golden clay figurine might have been tampered with in advance.

This information had been conveyed to Dusk Valley ahead of time by his subordinates, but there was no response, necessitating his personal mention.

"Mr. Xiao's significant resources."

Bai Family Master Bai Liangbi regarded the young man before him, clicking his tongue: "Killing over a hundred sect disciples without fear of being caught and tortured later."

"This matter has nothing to do with me; even if I included people from Eastern Continent, I absolutely could not accomplish such a feat now."

Chen Sansi didn't disclose that those killed were sect disciples they hired from Qingxu Sect.

He changed the subject: "Regarding the golden clay figurine, how does Mr. Bai plan to handle it?"

"So the messenger sent days ago was also by Mr. Xiao's direction."

Bai Liangbi mused for a moment: "It seems Mr. Xiao knows of the encounter Father had in the forbidden zone. Thank you for your kind words of warning, but there is no problem with the golden clay figurine."

"No problem?"

Chen Sansi appeared slightly puzzled.

"Mr. Xiao is unaware."

Bai Liangbi explained: "The golden clay figurine is a spiritual entity naturally nurtured by heaven and earth, possessing an internal purity beyond compare, and any tampering would be impossible to hide.

"Moreover, the golden clay figurine has its own consciousness and is innately honest. After detailed questioning, we determined that aside from deceiving him with bait, they did nothing else."
