Bear the Consequences, but Leave Later. Fine
"Why haven't the people from the clan arrived yet? Was the message we just received intercepted?"
"It hasn't been that long, but it's hard to say for sure. After all, we don't have any special means of communication, and Du Niansheng is perfectly capable of intercepting our messages."
"Hmm? They told us to call for help, but then they blocked our communication. Isn't there something seriously wrong with that?"
Sensing the changing power within the statue, many of the powerful members of the Shen Clan could no longer remain still.
If no one from the Shen Clan comes, what kind of spectacle will they have to watch?
Once the Withering and Flourishing Sect takes this Huang Clan descendant away and they return, these matters will become their responsibility.
I was just thinking about it.
At this moment.
Not far away, in the direction of the teleportation array, energy fluctuations suddenly appeared.
"They're here!"
The powerful figures were all startled and turned their gazes in that direction.
Du Niansheng also cast his gaze in that direction.
The next moment, Shen Tianzhi's figure emerged from the teleportation array.
Upon seeing this person, Du Niansheng's brow twitched.
Are they from the Shen Clan?
The Shen Clan is somewhat stronger than the Withering and Flourishing Sect.
But they are incomparable to the Liu Clan.
The relationship between his Withering and Flourishing Sect and the Shen Clan was rather ordinary.
With the confidence and resources at hand, this matter is naturally set in stone.
"Vice Chieftain."
Several people spoke in succession, greeting Shen Tianzhi.
Shen Tianzhi nodded, his gaze sweeping over the group of powerful figures from the Withering and Flourishing Sect, finally settling on Du Niansheng, and he spoke:
"People from the Withering and Flourishing Sect?"
Du Niansheng nodded:
"How?"
Shen Tianzhi raised his hand, gesturing towards the distance, his tone resolute:
"The affairs of my Shen Clan are not for your Withering and Flourishing Sect to interfere with. Leave immediately, or you will bear the consequences!"
Du Niansheng suddenly smiled, gestured upwards, and said:
"My people still have some things to finish. They will leave once they are done."
"OK."
Shen Tianzhi nodded and spoke.
Upon hearing this, everyone around was immediately stunned.
Even Gu Chen, whose mind was entirely focused on the ancient coffin, couldn't help but glance at Shen Tianzhi.
"It seems that the strength and status of the Withering and Flourishing Sect should be above that of the Shen Clan, otherwise this deputy patriarch of the Shen Clan wouldn't be so easy to talk to."
He remembered the words spoken earlier in the cave about the triumph of the Withering and Flourishing Sect.
I thought these people would call in a powerful figure, making the situation here even more tense.
Unexpectedly, his very first words conveyed an intention to downplay the seriousness of the matter and resolve it peacefully.
On the other side, Xiao Qian also had a strange expression on his face.
"Could it be that the Shen Clan has already received news that our trip is actually related to the Aptitude of a Great Emperor of the Liu Clan, which is why they are handling this matter in this way?"
"It seems that this is the only possibility. Otherwise, given the Shen Clan's tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong, they wouldn't have bothered with the Withering and Flourishing Sect like this."
When Shen Tianzhi first arrived, he had already anticipated that this matter would inevitably develop further.
But this particular "action" is quite unexpected.
The situation at the Withering and Flourishing Sect was unexpected.
The powerful members of the Shen Clan who were already there were also anxious.
"How can that be? They're just a small- Withering and Flourishing Sect!"
At that moment, someone transmitted a message to Shen Tianzhi:
"Vice Clan Chief, the Huang Clan bloodline and the Huang Clan Ancient Coffin were ordered to be taken back by the Clan Chief. Besides, as the Shen Clan, why should we compromise with the Withering and Flourishing Sect?"
"I hope the deputy clan leader will reconsider this matter!"
In fact, more than one person was transmitting the message.
A hint of impatience appeared on Shen Tianzhi's face.
Forget about thinking it over; he wouldn't have come at all if the clan leader hadn't sent him.
He has no idea what's going on here or what needs to be done, so what's there to consider?
At that moment, he directly transmitted his voice back to those who were trying to persuade him, saying:
"Then tell me, how do you want to resolve this?"
After all, everyone had been mentally preparing for this for a while, and now that they had the chance to speak, they naturally felt free to say whatever they wanted.
Cultivation is ultimately for the sake of physical and mental well-being. Now that their identities are clear, why should they worry too much? Just say it; the deputy clan leader will surely have his own considerations and weigh the pros and cons.
Although the demands of each party are different.
But overall, there are two things in common.
Firstly, none of the first four people who arrived were to leave; they were all to be taken to the Shen Clan, to be used if useful, and to be buried if not. Two of them mentioned wanting to take the girl as a concubine.
Some have offered an explanation for this, saying that since the Withering and Flourishing Sect wants to oppose the Shen Clan, they naturally cannot comply with their wishes. The more the Shen Clan wants to protect these four people, the more they will try to prevent the Withering and Flourishing Sect from doing so.
Secondly, by using the power of the Shen Clan to suppress the Withering and Flourishing Sect, they will be forced to submit. The Withering and Flourishing Sect will not easily agree, but they will certainly be constrained by the strength of the Shen Clan. As long as they are tough and arrogant, they will not dare to be as arrogant and domineering as before.
Shen Tianzhi listened to everyone finish speaking.
His gaze fell on Qin Li.
Soon, Qin Li frowned, her face turning slightly cold.
Shen Tianzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of interest appeared on his face.
To be honest, he genuinely likes this one.
At least for now.
If you have an idea, you can act on it. Follow the natural way, and things will happen naturally without having to consider the consequences.
At that moment, Shen Tianzhi spoke up:
"Now, I've changed my mind."
"Oh?"
Du Niansheng's expression shifted, and he looked at the direction Shen Tianzhi was looking, and said:
"Just a friendly reminder, there are some people you can't touch, even if you're the deputy patriarch of the Shen Clan."
He's lived for so many years, seen all sorts of people, and been through all kinds of situations.
Given Shen Tianzhi's reaction, it was as if he had his thoughts written all over his head; how could he not see it?
He knew Qin Li's identity after all, so to him, this plan was utterly ridiculous. To try and take advantage of a disciple of Aptitude of a Great Emperor was simply asking for trouble.
Of course, this wasn't the reason he kindly reminded them.
There's another reason for reminding you.
Not everyone has a sore spot, but a rebellious spirit is significantly more common.
Sometimes, a well-placed word of advice is more effective than adding fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, as soon as Du Niansheng said this, Shen Tianzhi visibly became annoyed and spoke up directly:
"How can I not move a woman!"
As he spoke, Shen Tianzhi immediately attacked, gathering his power to grab Qin Li.
Du Niansheng narrowed his eyes slightly and took a step.
Brush.
The power flashed by, instantly shattering the force of Shen Tianzhi's attack.
At the same time, the void in front of Qin Li distorted, and spatial power condensed into a spatial barrier, separating her from Shen Tianzhi.
Shen Tianzhi's expression immediately changed, and he spoke angrily:
"You, from the Withering and Flourishing Sect, dare to block my way!"
"Do you intend for my Shen Clan to wage war against your Withering and Flourishing Sect? What strength does your Withering and Flourishing Sect possess to contend with my Shen Clan?!"
Their words echoed the approach suggested by several powerful members of the Shen Clan earlier.
However, despite it being their stated request, seeing Shen Tianzhi act in this way, some people still harbored some doubts:
"However, why does this deputy clan leader, who is usually in seclusion, seem to be acting somewhat immaturely at this moment?"
This disagreement escalated to the point of threatening war, and it sounds like it was all over a mere plaything.
But this idea only flashed through his mind and was quickly dismissed:
"I was overthinking it. Maturity is for the strong; the weak don't need to be so mature."
