"Hehehe——why shouldn't you have said that earlier? I have to go against my conscience and play the bad guy. Look at this misunderstanding!"

Hearing Tai Wu's words, Shen Sui Xin immediately smiled heartily, then pointed to the suspended mountain not far away without hesitation and said, "I heard that the Shushan Sect has existed for thousands of years. I think there should be a lot of good things collected in the sect."

After that, Shen Sui Xin shook the ball of light in his hand again, and said as if it was a matter of course: "After all, he is the head of Shushan Sect, a well-known figure in the entire cultivation world. If his ransom is too little, it will be embarrassing to tell others about it... How about this, I don't want much, just give me 50% of all your cultivation resources, including elixirs and refining materials."

"Fifty percent of all resources?!"

Tai Wu almost felt sick after hearing this. He looked at Shen Sui Xin as if he was looking at a psychopath: "Are you serious?"

"Of course, do you think your head is not worth the price?"

"No! No!"

When Tai Wu saw Shen Sui Xin grabbing the ball of light and pretending to pinch it, he quickly changed his words and said, "Your Excellency misunderstood. That's not what I meant. It's just... there are too many of them, and I'm just a disciple. I don't have the right to make the decision."

"You can't make the decision, you're just talking nonsense, are you trying to make fun of me on purpose?"

Shen Sui Xin curled his lips and snorted, "Since you can't do it, then find someone who can make the decision to come and talk to me... By the way, I heard that you have a Drunken Sword Immortal in Shushan who is quite powerful, not much worse than your leader. Let him come out and talk to me."

"Drunken Swordsman? Who is that?!"

Taiwu was confused and looked at his fellow disciples around him. He also saw confusion and puzzlement in their eyes. It was obvious that they had never heard of such a person in the Shushan Sect.

Now it was Shen Sui Xin's turn to be dumbfounded, but after thinking carefully, he realized that now was not the stage where the main storyline of the Fairy Sword began, and the Drunken Swordsman might not have been given this nickname yet, so he added: "It's your uncle Situ Zhong. I heard that he is addicted to alcohol and has superb swordsmanship, so some people in the martial arts world gave him a bandit nickname called the Drunken Swordsman..."

"Great! I like this nickname!! From now on I will be called the Drunken Swordsman!"

Before Shen Sui Xin could finish his words, a loud laugh suddenly interrupted him.

Immediately afterwards, under the surprised gaze of the Shushan disciples, a dazzling and brilliant sword light, as if able to cut through everything, fell from the sky and flew towards Shen Suixin's right arm holding the ball of light.

Ding——Snap!!!
The sound of metal colliding suddenly rang out, but the dazzling sword light had not yet hit the target. Shen Sui Xin turned around abruptly, grabbed it with his empty left hand, and as his five fingers exerted force, the light evolved from the sword energy shattered and the light spots in the sky disappeared without a trace.

"How can it be?!"

"He took on the sword energy of the Sword Controlling Technique with his bare hands. Is this guy really still a human being?"

Seeing the scene just now, all the Shushan disciples present were shocked. Just as they were preparing to form a formation to fight the enemy, a familiar figure appeared in front of their formation.

He wears a wooden hairpin on his head, a tattered Taoist robe, a red wine gourd on his waist, and with his unruly temperament and unparalleled sword energy, who else could this man be but the Drunken Swordsman?
"Uncle Master Situ! Master…"

When Taiwu saw the Drunken Swordsman appear, his face suddenly brightened with joy. He was about to say something when he was interrupted by the Drunken Swordsman waving his hand.

"I know everything. Taiwu, you did the right thing. This person is definitely not someone you can handle."

Having said that, Situ Zhong… the future Drunken Swordsman, cast his gaze towards Shen Sui Xin who was also looking at him and the ball of light in his hand. After a moment, he said, "You are the leader of the Jie Tian Sect, right? It's true that hearing about it is worse than meeting it in person. With such means, it's no wonder that he dared to do such a thing in the human world."

"No, your reputation as a chivalrous man is truly well-known, and I should be in awe of you."

Shen Sui Xin raised his eyebrows, looked up and down at the unkempt middle-aged man opposite him, and a strange look appeared on his face.

In fact, this was not the first time that Shen Sui Xin had seen the Drunken Swordsman. More than half a year ago, he sealed the water monster from the Nanzhao Kingdom. Before taking Zhao Linger and Grandma Jiang away, he used his divine sense to observe the other party for a while, but he did not go up to deal with him because he was afraid of trouble at that time.

But he didn't expect that now that the two of them officially met, he and the other master were at loggerheads. It was really ironic.

"Haha! I'm not that familiar with you, but there have been a lot of rumors about you in the martial arts world recently. I've heard of you before, but unfortunately I was recovering from my injuries, so I never came to visit you. I didn't expect you to come to Shushan Sect. This is fate."

At this point, he glanced at the flying boat in the distance, and the expression on his face suddenly became nonsensical: "By the way, you just said that my senior brother and the witch queen of Nanzhao had a relationship, and they almost got married... Is this true or made up? Can you explain it in more detail?"

"Uncle Master!"

Taiwu was furious. It was already this late, and he was still thinking about watching the show. Didn’t he see that my master and your senior brother’s soul were in the other party’s hands? The most urgent thing was to find a way to get it back!

"Hey! Let me correct you. They had already been married at that time. It was just before the wedding night that your foolish senior brother failed to plan and backed out. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether Lin Qing'er would become the witch queen of Nanzhao or the head wife of Shushan Sect."

Shen Sui Xin said this in a half-joking tone, but when he said the word "calculate", he deliberately emphasized the tone, making it sound particularly harsh.

"Calculate? What do you mean! Someone calculated against my senior brother."

Unlike the Drunken Swordsman Mo Yixi in the Tangren version, Situ Zhong here is the same as his name, closer to the game version. He is not familiar with Lin Qing'er, and he went to Nanzhao Kingdom to rescue people by chance. Therefore, he really doesn't know the emotional entanglement between Dugu Yuyun and Lin Qing'er.

But he still remembered that Dugu Yuyun had indeed left Shushan and traveled in the mortal world for several years. When he came back, not only did his cultivation level improve greatly and become a terrestrial immortal, but even his entire personality and temperament had changed dramatically.

He, who was originally a little indifferent and cold, became even more taciturn, and sometimes he couldn't even utter ten complete sentences in the whole day unless it was necessary.

Even when Situ Zhong took the initiative to chat with him, he mostly talked about something like great love for the way of heaven, which was superstitious and made people feel uncomfortable. This was also one of the reasons why Situ Zhong later always wandered around the mortal world and rarely returned to Shushan.

Now, after hearing what Shen Sui Xin said, Situ Zhong suddenly reacted and realized that there might be other hidden secrets behind the changes that happened to Dugu Yuyun that year. His good mood of wanting to watch the show gradually sank.

buzzing-

A large number of sounds of breaking through the air were suddenly heard, and hundreds of streams of light flew over from the suspended mountain in the back. It turned out that other elders of the Shushan Sect had received the news and rushed over with all the elite disciples of the Shushan Sect.

The nine figures at the head all had powerful auras. Seven of them were Great Immortals at the peak of the Myriad Things Realm, and two were on par with Situ Zhong, roughly at the initial stage of entering the Cave Void Realm. The lineup was quite luxurious.

If we include Dugu Yuyun, the land-based immortal who has reached the realm of ascension, we can see how powerful the Shushan Sect is. It is definitely a unique existence in the world of immortal cultivation on earth.

But again, who made them unlucky enough to provoke Shen Suixin, an unexpected variable. "You thief, you dare to attack Shushan, why don't you surrender quickly!"

Among the elders who came, the one with the highest cultivation level, who was a cultivator in the Cave Void Realm, seemed to have a very hot temper. His angry roar could be heard before he even got close.

Then, he raised his hand and used some secret method to trigger the Shushan protective formation.

The sword flashes brightly and moves swiftly.

One divided into two, two divided into three, three divided into thousands...

Endless sword lights combined into a huge formation, spreading out layer by layer, forming a world of its own, evolving into an infinitely mysterious, disordered yet orderly world.

At the same time, three hundred Shushan disciples entered the formation and performed the Ten Thousand Swords Technique together.

The vast magic power continuously transformed into sharp sword lights, which circulated round and round, one after another, and the murderous aura rushed straight into the sky, completely breaking through the limits that could be achieved by human cultivators.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing this, the expressions of Shushan disciples such as Jiu Jianxian and Taiwu suddenly changed. The former turned into a sword light to block the front of the formation and shouted loudly: "Wait! Senior brother is still in his hands! Don't move rashly!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, the elder was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he did not fully understand the situation before coming. Perhaps he just heard that a powerful enemy was invading Shushan, so he ran over in a hurry, not knowing that he almost killed his own leader with a single sword. Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead and he was terrified.

Situ Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and looked at Shen Suixin again, with a complicated expression, "Sir... No, Master Shen's methods are almost like those of a god. No one in my Shushan Sect can defeat you in a one-on-one fight. But this is related to the safety of my head brother. Even if we use all our strength, Shushan will never give up. If both sides suffer losses, it will not be good for anyone."

Shen Suixin raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "So? Are you planning to surrender?"

"...What I mean is that immortals value life. Why don't both sides take a step back? Sect Leader Shen should first return the soul of my head brother to us, and then make a reasonable request, and we will try our best to satisfy it. This way, everyone can save face and money. Why do we have to fight and kill each other?"

"Situ Zhong! Do you know what you are talking about?!"

The hot-tempered elder immediately became furious upon hearing this, but before he could lash out, he was dissuaded by several other elders beside him, and soon he endured it with a red face.

Although the other party could hide his cultivation level, making it difficult for them to see his true identity, the fact that Dugu Yuyun fell into his hands proved that his strength should not be underestimated.

It is very likely that he is also a land immortal who has reached the ascended realm. In a head-on confrontation, they might be able to win by relying on their numbers, but the losses will also be extremely heavy.

More importantly, the sect leader Dugu Yuyun has not been rescued yet. If this man gets angry and takes the sect leader with him to death, it would be a complete loss of both the wife and the army. If this gets out, I'm afraid the other immortal cultivation forces will laugh to death.

Instead of doing this, it is better to listen to Situ Zhong's arrangements first. If the leader can be rescued through negotiations and the safety of the hostages can be guaranteed, there will be no need to worry about not having the chance to get back at the throne in the future!

"Haha! That's right. The world is big, but the hostages are the most important. For the safety of your leader and the reputation of Shushan, you have to take the loss first, no matter how big it is."

Shen Sui Xin said this with an annoying smile on his face, which made the elders and disciples of Shushan very angry. They didn't understand how there could be such a shameless person in the world.

"You can redeem your leader, but I still want the same thing as before. I want 50% of all the cultivation resources in Shushan. I will give you the money and the person. No questions asked!"

"You're dreaming!"

The hot-tempered elder got angry again, and his finger trembled as he pointed at Shen Sui Xin: "Fifty percent of the cultivation resources, do you know what that means? Why don't you just take all of them!!"

"I want it too, but I'm shy and don't want to ask for too much, so I'll settle for the next best thing and only take half first. It won't be too late to take the remaining half next time."

"You still want a next time!"

This time, not only the elder was furious, but the other Shushan disciples were also shaking with anger, and they were eager to rush forward and chop the shameless guy into meat paste.

Only Situ Zhong was able to keep his composure. He quickly appeased several elders, and then said helplessly: "Master Shen, please stop joking. Shushan has accumulated 50% of its cultivation resources for thousands of years. Even if we sell our head brother, it is not worth this price. We dare not make this decision, so please make a slightly more reasonable request."

"Tsk! What? I thought the leader was so valuable, but it turns out that his disciples are not willing to pay even half of his resources. How cheap..."

Shen Suixin curled his lips, then raised three fingers with his left hand and said, "30% of the resources, plus a Three Emperors artifact, in exchange for your leader."

"At most 10% of the resources, I will never give you the Three Emperors' Artifacts!"

Situ Zhong said firmly.

The Three Emperors' Sacred Artifacts are treasures passed down from the ancient Three Emperors to the world. They are the Fuxi Sword, the Shennong Ding and the Nuwa Jade. They were later kept by the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect.

Just like Pangu's Heart, these three artifacts are related to the foundation and inheritance of Shushan. Not to mention a Shushan leader, even if all Shushan disciples were to be involved, they would not be traded with them.

"This won't work! Is the head of Shushan really so worthless?"

Shen Sui Xin said this, looking down at the languid and sleepy Yuan Shen in the palm of his right hand, revealing a look of disdain, and then said viciously:

"My last bargaining offer: 20% of the resources plus the Demon Locking Tower... If he still refuses, I will crush his soul right now. At worst, we will fight to the death today and have a good fight with you Shushan Sect!"

Fanatic!

Everyone cursed in their hearts, but held their breath and looked at Situ Zhong, waiting for the decision of this person who was the most powerful and prestigious person in Shushan Sect except for the leader Dugu Yuyun.

"……Can."

Situ Zhong closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then said: "I can make the decision and give 20% of Shushan's cultivation resources, but Master Shen must return my brother's soul first, otherwise there is no discussion."
