The two men felt quite pleased with themselves, almost benevolent, and reiterated, "Shen Zhentian, those who know their place should leave the Ironclad Rhinoceros Beast with us, and we will spare your lives!"
Shen Zhentian snorted coldly, "Dream on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed forward like a fierce tiger, pouncing on one of the black-clad men. Having lived a life of battle, his experience was vast. Though he was older now, his cultivation remained as formidable as in his youth, having reached the fearsome Innate Realm!
Even in his old age, he would never hand over the beast meat he had prepared for his daughter's delivery! Hmph, they were overestimating themselves! The black-clad man sneered disdainfully and raised his palm to meet Shen Zhentian's attack.
Boom!
A loud crash echoed as two powerful energies collided violently, shaking the ground and sending dust flying. Shen Yunting and Shen Yunlei wasted no time joining the fray.
"Big brother, we'll back you up!" Shen Yunlei shouted angrily, swinging his long knife and creating flashes of light as he attacked another black-clad man. The black-clad man clearly did not expect the trio's strength to be so formidable and found himself forced to retreat repeatedly.
Damn it!
The other black-clad man cursed inwardly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. Suddenly, he flickered and vanished from sight.
"Father, be careful!" Shen Yunting sensed an ominous premonition rising in his heart and hurriedly warned.
But it was too late.
Pfft!
A spray of blood erupted as Shen Zhentian let out a muffled groan and staggered back several steps, his face turning pale instantly. A dagger was embedded in his chest, blood gushing from the wound and staining his clothes.
"Father! Father!"
Shen Yunting and Shen Yunlei's eyes widened in horror as they shouted in rage, charging recklessly at the black-clad man. The black-clad man sneered again and transformed into a blur once more, reaching for the fallen Ironclad Rhinoceros Beast on the ground.
In an instant, the Ironclad Rhinoceros Beast they had fought so hard to capture vanished from sight.
Both of them were masters at the Ninth Level of Innate, and having achieved their goal, they were unwilling to linger any longer. With a flash of their figures, they escaped into the distance.
"Don't mind me, hurry and chase after them! Your Third Sister is waiting for that beast meat!"
Shen Zhentian's face turned pale with urgency; he wished he could pursue them immediately. As soon as he finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Shen Yunting and Shen Yunlei shouted in anger, intending to lead their subordinates in pursuit, but reluctantly turned back instead. By the time they looked again, the two black-clad figures had vanished deep into the dense forest.
Damn it!
Shen Yunting and Shen Yunlei gritted their teeth in frustration but felt helpless.
"First! Saving Father is the priority!"
Shen Yunting ultimately made a difficult decision.
Shen Yunlei quickly hoisted Shen Zhentian onto his back, and under the escort of their subordinates, they rushed toward General Shen's Residence.
Inside General Shen's Residence, Shen Yunting and Shen Yunlei entered with grim faces, supporting the gasping Shen Zhentian as they rushed into the courtyard.
"Father! What happened to you?!"
Seeing Shen Zhentian's condition, Shen Wanzhou's heart tightened as she slowly stood up. At that moment, her father's face was as pale as paper, his shirt front stained red with blood—a shocking sight.
Just as Shen Wanzhou was about to step forward to check on him, she felt a wave of darkness wash over her; her legs stumbled slightly, nearly causing her to faint.
"Father! It's my fault for dragging you into this!" Tears blurred her vision instantly. For the first time, she felt such resentment—resentment for her own lack of strength that prevented her from sharing the burden with her family and instead brought them trouble.
"Zhou'er, don't come over!" Seeing Shen Wanzhou, Shen Zhentian tried to rise but was hindered by his wounds. He couldn't help but groan softly as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Father! Don't move!" Shen Wanzhou rushed to the bedside, tightly grasping Shen Zhentian's hand as tears streamed down her face. "You will be fine; you must be fine!"
At that moment, a sharp pain twisted in her abdomen; she couldn't help but let out a muffled groan as her complexion turned pale.
Beside her, Yeh Jing-Shu suddenly understood: "Shen Wanzhou, you're going into labor!"
Shen Zhentian's lips trembled slightly, filled with worry as he struggled to utter a few words: "Child..."
"Father, please don't speak. Just take care of yourself! I will ensure the baby is born safely!" Shen Wanzhou said, her eyes reddening as she fought back her sorrow.
Soon, chaos erupted within the residence. The doctor hurried in with a medicine box, while maids rushed back and forth carrying hot water and clean cloths.
Lying on the bed, Shen Wanzhou's complexion was pale. Already weakened by her pregnancy, the thought that her father had sustained serious injuries while hunting magical beasts for her sake made her anxious and restless.
"Wanzhou, you must take care of yourself. Your father is blessed and will be fine!" Sister-in-law Yeh Jing-Shu comforted from the side, though her voice carried an uncontrollable sob.
Shen Wanzhou wanted to see her father, but the pain in her abdomen intensified, crashing over her like waves. She gritted her teeth but couldn't suppress the painful groans that escaped her lips. Beads of sweat rolled down her pale forehead, dampening the hair at her temples.
The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense as the maids busied themselves, unable to mask the anxiety that hung in the air. A cry of anguish escaped Shen Wanzhou's mouth.
At that moment, a strange wave of energy erupted from within her, enveloping the room in a faint blood-red glow. This light was not blinding but carried a powerful vitality, pulsing like a heartbeat. Gradually, it grew stronger, piercing through the roof and soaring into the sky!
The once clear sky now revealed a hint of crimson. This astonishing phenomenon was felt throughout General Shen's Residence and even across the entire imperial capital.
What was happening? Could it be that a child with a powerful bloodline was being born?
People looked up in confusion at the strange sight in the sky, murmuring among themselves.
Meanwhile, in Shen Wanzhou's room, the blood-red glow had intensified to its peak, wrapping around her completely.
In stark contrast, within the Wuding Marquisate, all was serene and peaceful. Xu Yan'er lounged lazily on a noblewoman's couch, delicately stroking her prominently rounded belly with slender fingers, a smug smile playing on her lips.
Two shadowy figures silently appeared in the room, kneeling on one knee with their heads bowed respectfully as they reported: "We have completed our task, Holy Maiden. The Third-Stage Monster hunted by the Shen Family and those precious medicinal herbs are now in our possession. That wretched Shen Wanzhou has acted prematurely and is without resources; this childbirth will be perilous!"
