Sect Leader! Please strengthen our Dao Sect!

"Master! Wenzheng is about to fall!"

With Qian Duoduo and Li Daniu in one hand and Li Qinggang and Han Wuming hanging on his legs, Tang Yan could barely stand under the fierce wind. His face was stinging from the blows, so he could only ask Shen Shanshui for help.

With a wave of his sleeve, Shen Shanshui abruptly stopped the fierce wind that had been blowing on the treasure ship!

"What ugly thing? How can it be so domineering?"

Shen Lingxi stared with great dissatisfaction at the huge demonic beast that was flying rapidly towards them. There were clearly people standing on it, and it was obviously being controlled by someone.

The treasure ship, which had been rocking violently and was on the verge of breaking apart, suddenly stabilized.

The panicked cultivators all stared in shock at the young Taoist who was looking up at the sky.

Previously, they had not paid much attention to this young Taoist priest. Even when they did glance at him, it was only because the female disciples were attracted by Shen Shanshui's outstanding appearance and refined temperament.

However, cultivators are rarely ugly, so they only glanced at them a couple of times.

"It's a real person...it's a real person!"

"Thank you so much for saving me!"

Everyone bowed down in unison, feeling fortunate but also surprised that there was such an approachable Foundation Establishment cultivator who would share a treasure ship with them, who were only at the Qi Refining stage.

Shen Shanshui had no time to pay attention to the greetings of those around him, his divine sense vigilantly focused on the strange-looking flying beast.

The monster was covered in scales, had huge, dark blue eyes like will-o'-the-wisps, and had gleaming white fangs. It had no trace of immortality; instead, it exuded a strong demonic aura.

A dozen or so figures stood on the back of the monster. The leader sensed Shen Shanshui's divine sense and, perhaps feeling provoked, swung his sword without hesitation!

The hundred-foot-long sword beam, carrying a sharp killing intent, headed straight for the treasure ship.

The cultivators on the ship originally wanted to curse loudly, but at this moment they couldn't utter a single curse. They only felt a life-or-death crisis!

"The demon cultivators are truly domineering!"

Shen Shanshui's expression was gloomy, and he snorted coldly.

To act so recklessly in Jiangnan Prefecture, and with such a demonic aura, one can only imagine that he must be a demon cultivator from the Dragon Lord's Mansion!

With one hand and fingers together, Shen Shanshui also swung his sword.

Great Evolution Sword Qi!

The moment the two sword beams collided, Shen Shanshui's Great Evolution Sword Qi, like a ferocious beast opening its huge mouth, actually swallowed the sword beam whole, and then rushed straight towards the ugly monster!

"presumptuous!"

Several low shouts rang out, and two figures on the demonic beast attacked simultaneously, swiftly unleashing two attacks that blocked Shen Shanshui's Great Evolution Sword Qi.

"Human cultivators, we have traveled thousands of miles to come, and this is your way of treating guests?"

As an immense pressure swept over them, the cultivators on the treasure ship couldn't help but tremble.

Three demons have reached the Foundation Establishment stage!

The leading demon cultivator, with his prominent features, looked down at Shen Shanshui with arrogance, as if he were looking at an ant, even though the other party was at the same cultivation level as him.

"Your sword strike just now was filled with murderous intent. What gives you the audacity to question me?"

Shen Shanshui stepped forward through the void, walking step by step toward the three demon cultivators, his face calm and composed, showing no fear whatsoever.

His humble demeanor is a result of his upbringing and the influence of the concept of equality for all he was born with.

But that doesn't mean Shen Shanshui has a good temper.

If Shen Shanshui can tolerate such blatant humiliation, how can he maintain his authority as sect leader in the future?

"snort!"

"They're just a bunch of ants, kill them and that's it. Are you sure you want to stick your neck out?"

This place is not far from Jiangling City. Besides your human race's True Lord, my Holy Palace's True Lord is also here.

"If you truly dare to provoke us, even if we kill you, the True Lord can't say anything."

Hearing that demon cultivator make such a grand and righteous statement.

The cultivators on the treasure ship could do nothing but clench their fists tightly, filled with immense anger.

This is the difference in strength, the difference in cultivation. No matter how much resentment you feel, there's nothing you can do about it.

If Shen Shanshui chooses to avoid their sharp edge, then they can only pray that these demon cultivators will be wary of the True Lord's anger, and that they will only rely on verbal sparring and not dare to actually harm them.

"These bastards are shameless!"

The disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, especially Qian Duoduo, would have definitely given those bastards a good beating if they weren't too weak.

"Senior brother..."

Shen Lingxi frowned deeply, her beautiful face filled with worry.

Although she was confident in her senior brother, he was such a nice person and almost never got angry with anyone. How good could he be in a fight?

Feeling himself being locked onto by three killing intents, Shen Shanshui's face grew increasingly gloomy.

His sword strike just now was actually quite lenient with his opponent; he didn't use his full strength.

These demons were already at a disadvantage, so if both sides exchanged a few words and left each other some room for maneuver, the matter could be easily resolved.

But now it seems unlikely that things will end well.

Is this a deliberate attempt to intimidate the human cultivators of Jiangnan Prefecture?

Shen Shanshui was right after all.

However, the other party's statement about killing Shen Shanshui was purely a show of bravado when they lacked the strength. In Jiangnan Prefecture, the territory of human cultivators, even if the demon cultivators had brains made of stone, they wouldn't dare to do it.

Previously, Bai Zhuo had been brutally defeated by Wu Lianshan. Although the news had not spread widely, Foundation Establishment cultivators all had their own information channels.

After leaving Longshan County, Bai Zhu headed towards Qingyang County, only to be beaten to a pulp and slink away in disgrace. His fate is no mystery.

As the leader of the team, Bai Zhuo's strength must be among the top in the Foundation Establishment stage of the Dragon Lord's Mansion.

Yet this powerful demon cultivator was beaten so badly that he was powerless to fight back, and the Dragon Lord's Mansion truly lost face.

The other Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Dragon Lord's Mansion found it particularly hard to accept, since they were all in the same boat. If Bai Zhuo performed poorly and embarrassed himself, they would also lose face.

Shen Shanshui was unlucky to be caught in their crossfire, and he was thinking of using this opportunity to regain his authority.

Of course, these demon cultivators weren't entirely brainless. The fact that they chose to ride the treasure ship suggests that Shen Shanshui probably didn't have much of a background.

They wouldn't dare kill Shen Shanshui, but giving him a severe beating and crippling him at the Foundation Establishment stage should be enough to vent their anger.

"Heh... He really knows how to keep his cool. Apart from Wu Lianshan, who has some backbone, the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Jiangnan Prefecture are all incompetent."

That Wu Lianshan won't be so arrogant for long. Once my Dragon Lord's Mansion wins the Immortal Treasure, I will personally behead him!

The demon cultivator at the head of the group gave a wicked smile, revealing sharp, white teeth that clearly did not belong to the human race.

"If you could still say such things when you meet County Magistrate Wu, then I would truly admire your courage."

Shen Shanshui narrowed her eyes and retorted calmly and confidently.

The once-prominent demon cultivator's expression gradually darkened.

The truth is always the most hurtful. Wu Lianshan's strength is indeed widely acknowledged. He and Bai Zhuo are evenly matched. If Bai Zhuo were to encounter Wu Lianshan, his fate would probably not be much better.

"Would you like to test the sharpness of my sword?"

"My sword has never been ineffective!"

When these three men set their sights on Shen Shanshui, the matter was already beyond saving. Since that was the case, Shen Shanshui saw no need to give them any face.
