As soon as Shen Qiang spoke, the entire small hall fell silent, and all the cultivators stared wide-eyed at Shen Qiang.
Simultaneously, Kang Youquan, who was holding the Qingyun Sword, suddenly stood up, his face flushed as he shouted, "Shen Qiang, are you provoking our Qingyun Sword Pavilion?"
Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow casually and said, "Provoking? Impossible, I'm just stating a fact."
The Great Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion responded coldly, "Shen Qiang, as the master of Heshenghe, you should have the demeanor of a powerful figure. Saying such rumors, don't you feel embarrassed?"
Shen Qiang laughed, leaning back in his chair, and said, "Pretending to be tolerant of others is just a cowardly excuse for not daring to hurt them."
