Seeing the intense standoff between Long Chang and the many powerful figures of the Maoshan Heavenly Master Sect, the numerous cultivators present felt their hearts racing.
"Something's about to happen. Both the Maoshan Heavenly Master Sect and Long Chang are top-tier forces in the Cultivation World. It seems they're extremely displeased with Shen Qiang's mount. If a fight breaks out, who would win?"
"Damn, are they crazy? Shen Qiang is the son-in-law of the Bai Family. Are they planning to mess with Shen Qiang on the Bai Family's turf? That's a death wish!"
"Huh, it's strange. Why is the Bai Family just watching the show from the sidelines? Do they actually think Shen Qiang can take on both the Maoshan Heavenly Master Sect and Long Chang?"
The cultivators present exchanged looks, filled with shock.
Ten Great Demons with wings, dressed in neat suits, stopped behind the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing and the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, hovering about twenty meters above the ground.
Their appearance startled the cultivators instantly, but their expressions soon turned disdainful.
"These ten Great Demons, the strongest among them is only around the Mixed Element Realm, while the weakest is about the Yin God Realm. Without Dao Fruit Stage cultivators interfering, they're indeed formidable, but against the Maoshan Heavenly Master Sect and Long Chang, they stand no chance."
And they weren't the only ones who thought this.
Upon seeing these ten flying Great Demons, the numerous cultivators from Long Chang and the Maoshan Heavenly Master Sect also wore faces of arrogance.
"Step aside, or don't blame us for being rude."
"Want to spar a little? Our Heavenly Master Sect isn't easy to mess with!"
"Seems like we should exchange a few moves with the Great Demons of Heshenghe to add to the festivities of this joyous day and liven things up!"
The members of Long Chang and the Heavenly Master Sect spoke with arrogance.
But the ten flying Great Demons in the air acted as if they hadn't heard a thing, unsure whether they didn't want to respond or didn't deign to respond.
Just then, from mid-air, came the somewhat lazy yet faintly excited voice of Zuo Lianghao.
"Oh, when fighting others before, I always had to think about how to keep my distance from the enemy and how to protect myself, so I never had the chance to go all out."
Everyone who heard these words looked up in astonishment.
Then they saw Zuo Lianghao, with a handsome face standing on an eagle's back, looking down with a cold smile.
"But after joining Heshenghe, everything changed. With a perfect partner, I've been seeking an opportunity to unleash a full-strength sword array."
As Zuo Lianghao's voice carried a note of excitement.
The sky rippled.
A dense array of flying swords, poised to rain down at any moment, filled the sky.
Zuo Lianghao's eyes shone brightly, while his excited smile was intimidating.
The tens of thousands of flying swords in the sky moved slowly, and then, under the frightened gazes of all, they gathered into an enormous sword array.
"Come on, let's spar! This is my current limit: a sword array composed of ten thousand flying swords, based on the River Diagram and Book of Changes, named Galaxy. It's my strongest sword array at present. Come on, anyone above the Dao Fruit Stage, step up. If you survive my sword array, I'll concede!"
Hearing Zuo Lianghao's excited words.
Instantly, the cultivators from the Maoshan Heavenly Master Sect and Long Chang subconsciously stepped back a few steps.
After all, they weren't fools,.
"Is this a joke? Zuo Lianghao, during the time of playing with a few flying swords or an array of a dozen swords, was already said to be invincible below the Dao Fruit Stage. Your grandpa, now suddenly with a sword array of ten thousand flying swords, how do you fight that? Even if it's all scrap iron, slamming down at thirty-four thousand pounds would still be unbearable!"
"Mad, with that big bird, Zuo Lianghao is starting to bully people now!"
"Really awesome. After hanging out with Shen Qiang, even Zuo Lianghao dares to challenge super strong Dao Fruit Stage cultivators? Damn, truly one man achieves success and everyone around rises!"
"Damn it! Zuo Lianghao used to be so respectful when he saw me, always calling me senior. But after following this Shen Qiang, he dares to publicly ask me to step out and survive his sword array, or else lose. Is he taking me for a fool? The Three Talent Sword Array composed of three flying swords already exceeds his own capabilities in power. How to handle this Myriad Sword Formation?"
"Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. This usually polite Zuo Lianghao, after sticking with the sky-defying Shen Qiang, turns his back on people. What to do now."
Heavenly Master Sect's Daoist Mad and Long Chang's Family Head Ji Haiyang glanced at the Myriad Sword Formation in the sky and at the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing and Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, who were comparable to the Dao Fruit Stage, and couldn't help but sigh.
In the Cultivation World, turning hostile is a common thing.
No one fears turning hostile with others.
But everyone fears not winning after turning hostile.
Just like the current situation, with the Craftsman Yuan and Copper Armor Corpse being savagely beaten by Shen Qiang's mount, the Heavenly Master Sect and Long Chang are indeed a bit ashamed.
But there's still the "arranged to add to the festivity" cover.
But if all pretense is torn, the question of whether Shen Qiang's welcoming party alone can handle a fight is already in doubt. Once the Bai Family gets involved, well, the Heavenly Master Sect and Long Chang would undoubtedly leave with bruises and loose teeth.
At that point, no fig leaf could cover the embarrassment.
So the pretending-to-be-calm Daoist Mad, while smiling for photos with Bai Shiyi and Shen Qiang, said to them, "What are you doing? The program arranged to entertain doesn't involve you guys."
The cultivators were stunned.
With an incredibly awkward smile, Ji Haiyang also said sternly, "The duel between the leading Ancient Four Great Beasts Qiongqi and the Craftsman Yuan's Copper Armor Corpse was arranged earlier to entertain, so don't mess it up."
With that, not caring about how others felt, Ji Haiyang laughed heartily and put his arm around Shen Qiang's shoulder, whispering, "Tell your mount not to hit too hard, for you and my family, Lianghuan, have good relations, right?"
Hearing Ji Haiyang trying to build rapport, Shen Qiang smiled, "But my relationship with Ji Liangyuan is quite bad."
Ji Haiyang, embarrassed, laughed, "Consider it as me owing you a favor. How about I prepare a generous gift for you later?"
Glancing playfully at the ferociously scowling Daoist Mad, Shen Qiang, having figured out they were deliberately finding fault, smiled, "Alright, then I'll instruct my mount to beat up the Copper Armor Corpse alone for thirty minutes since those around it haven't prepared a generous gift for me."
Instantly, Bai Shiyi burst into laughter.
Daoist Mad, whose face was iron blue and slightly flushed, really wanted to turn hostile immediately, roaring in his heart, "I've never seen such a shameless person before! Just because there's no generous gift, you're going to beat it up alone for thirty minutes? Bastard, big bastard!"
But considering the current scene, he couldn't turn hostile even if he wanted to—thinking of Craftsman Yuan and Copper Armor Corpse both getting beaten up by Shen Qiang's mount was less of a disgrace, as Shen Qiang's mount being Qiongqi made it understandable they couldn't win. However, if Craftsman Yuan was unscathed while Copper Armor Corpse was still getting battered, the disgrace would extend to one's ancestors.
"Ahaha." Even though his heart was bleeding, Daoist Mad squeezed a smile, "I felt an instant connection with Nephew Shen." Finished speaking, he quickly transmitted secretly to Shen Qiang, "Rest assured, a substantial gift is prepared to beseech your mercy!"
