If it was only the Shen family being exterminated, Qin Rufeng wouldn't be as shocked as he was now.

After all, in the entire continent, the strength of the Shen family was just a drop in the ocean.

The Shen family's strength is only slightly better than ants.

What surprised Qin Rufeng the most was that from the time she escaped from the Shen family to the time she met him in Spirit County, it had been almost half a month.

In this half a month, the entire Moxi Region was quiet, as if the destruction of the Shen family was an illusion.

However, when Qin Rufeng saw Shen Yue's expression again, he was certain that Shen Yue's words were not a lie.

Because Shen Yue didn't have any motive to lie.

This was also the thing that made Qin Rufeng most surprised.

As one of the four great clans of the Western Desert, their clan's influence could be said to be spread throughout the entire Western Desert Region.

He had been slaughtered overnight by a mysterious force.

Moreover, during this entire period of time, not a single piece of news had leaked out. Even the overlord of the Desert West region, the Xuanyuan Pavilion, had not heard of this news.

There could only be one reason for this situation, and that was that after the Shen family experienced the extermination of their family, everything was the same as before.

It was to the point that no one knew about the enmity between the Shen family and the subordinate forces of the Shen family.

Qin Rufeng couldn't help but shake his head when this thought of his surfaced in his mind. This was because even he himself felt that his current thoughts were somewhat absurd.

One of them was the Shen family's annihilation, while the other one was the fact that there was no news of them in the outside world.

However, in the next second, Qin Rufeng was greatly shocked by a detail that he had neglected in his previous life.

This was the familiar Nine Yin Qi that Qin Rufeng was familiar with.

In his previous life, after Qin Rufeng met Shen Yue, the two of them fled together to avoid being hunted down. However, in the end, Shen Yue was still taken away by the Shen family.

He could even faintly see the silhouette of the Patriarch of the Shen family, which was also Shen Yue's father.

Qin Rufeng still remembered clearly that when Shen Yue had left in his previous life, there was neither joy nor ease in her eyes.

Instead, it was a kind of helplessness. Now that he thought about it, Qin Rufeng could feel the despair in Shen Yue's eyes.

Now that he thought about it, if Shen Yue was really taken away by her own family, that sort of emotion wouldn't appear in her eyes.

Even if he brought her along with him for a long time, the most he would show was reluctance. It was simply impossible for her to reach such a state of despair.

In fact, based on Shen Yue's position, as well as the fact that her father doted on her, if Shen Yue had only said so back then, her father wouldn't have taken her away when she was unhappy.

Furthermore, in his previous life, Qin Rufeng had felt a familiar aura from the Patriarch of the Shen family.

At that time, he still didn't know that the Nine Yin Qi of the Nine Yin Meridians Palm was from the devil race in the Yin Field, but it was only a high-grade mystical art, known as the Nine Yin Meridians Palm and Nine Yin Returning Palm.

At that time, Qin Rufeng in his previous life would have been at his most chaotic and helpless.

Basically, every day was a day when he licked his blood on the blade of a saber. The Qin Clan was exterminated, and the Han Clan and Dong Clan viewed him as a thorn in their side. They wanted to pull him out as soon as possible.

On top of that, Qin Rufeng had entered the Ancient Profound Desolate Lands and was being chased down by the Xuanyuan Pavilion's enforcement team. It could be said that he had nowhere to go and nowhere to go.

Every day, he would close his eyes, not knowing if he would still have the chance to see the sun in the sky the next day.

Until the very end, Qin Rufeng simply did not sleep, maintaining his most sensitive vigilance at all times.

All his energy was recovered by meditating on the ground.

At the time of his death, he had not slept for more than two hundred days and nights.

He was prepared to deal with the incoming attacks at any time.

Because of this, all of Qin Rufeng's potential was unleashed.

It was precisely because of this cruel life that he chose to hand Shen Yue over to his father. If Shen Yue followed him, not only would she lack any happiness, she would also have to face countless dangers.

However, to Qin Rufeng, the choice he had made all those years ago was akin to pushing Shen Yue into a pit of fire.

This was because Qin Rufeng now remembered that familiar aura from the Patriarch of the Shen Clan. It was the aura of the netherworld's demon.

The reason why the demon didn't kill him at that time was because of his own Yin Qi, which made him one of the two.

Back then, he had also felt the aura from the Patriarch of the Shen family. At that time, he had thought that it was due to him learning the horse lashing technique from Shen Yue.

Therefore, Qin Rufeng was sure that the current Shen family and the previous Shen family were two completely different Shen families.

Previously, the Shen family was people, but this Shen family was ghosts.

It was easy to explain why there was no news on the outside world. The reason was simple, it was easy to guard against foreign bandits.

Furthermore, to be able to keep everything in the Shen family without it causing the outside world to notice anything amiss, it could be said that he was familiar with the Shen family. It could even be said that he knew them like the back of his hand.

Other than a few members of the Shen family, no one had such authority.

Furthermore, an even more frightening thought emerged in Qin Rufeng's mind. It was that the devil creatures from the Yin Geyser had long since seeped into the Western Desert Region, or the entire Profound Realm Continent.

At the thought of this, Qin Rufeng couldn't help but shiver. If it was as he thought, then the entire continent would be in danger.

Until now, Qin Rufeng had yet to discover any demons from the Ninespring Yin Field that were too powerful.

But right now, the number of demons in the western part of the desert had already reached a certain number. No matter where they were, they would be able to secretly discover their traces.

Perhaps people could not feel it, but Qin Rufeng possessed the Nine Yin Meridians Reaching Palm of the Underworld. As long as there was Yin Qi, there would definitely be the appearance of demons from the Underworld.

Furthermore, Qin Rufeng guessed that the Nine Yin Meridian Breaking Palm he had grasped was a kind of mystical technique used by the netherworld demon.

The Nine Yin Pulse Splitting Palm could be considered a powerful mystical technique in the Nine Spring Yin area, or it could be said to be a cultivation technique that only the royal family of the Yin and Earth Demons were qualified to practice.

Qin Rufeng discovered that the Nine Yin Meridians Reaching Palm had caused many serious injuries to people with Yin Qi.

The Nine Yin Broken Vein Palm didn't have the ability to injure the opponent, but with the help of Yin Qi, it could suppress the monsters in the Yin Field.
