Ding Buer took the invitation, glanced at it, and immediately beamed, flattering, "Such a treasure, and you two Immortals are willing to part with it. I truly don't know how to express my gratitude."
Zhang Danfeng said seriously, "You must seize this opportunity. The Heavenly Severance Holy Land is the sect closest to the Immortal Realm. If you can comprehend even a sliver of the power of the laws at the banquet, you're sure to have a place in the Nine Realms."
Hu Guangshan added, "Yes, young brother, if you hadn't already passed the age for our Heavenly Severance Holy Land's disciple recruitment, I would definitely recommend you as an outer disciple. But being able to have the chance to comprehend even a sliver of the power of the laws is also an incredible stroke of fortune for you."
Ding Buer replied, "Then I thank the two Immortals for their nurturing. If you need anything from me in the future, I will certainly do my best."
"Well, we've eaten and drunk our fill, and we have other matters to attend to, so we'll be taking our leave. Remember to come to the Heavenly Severance Holy Land on the seventh day of the seventh month to show your support."
"With such a great opportunity, I will definitely be there on time."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, we'll be going then."
"Farewell, Immortals. Allow me to see you off."
"No need."
After Ding Buer saw them off, he returned to the table, patting the invitation and smiling: "Excellent! With this invitation, I'll have a chance to meet those important figures in the Heavenly Severance Holy Land. Master Shen will definitely praise me for handling this so efficiently."
Yun Weiwei was puzzled: "Is the Heavenly Severance Holy Land really that mysterious?"
Ding Buer immediately began to educate her: "The four great holy lands of the Xuanmen are the Jade Pool Holy Land, the Heavenly Severance Holy Land, the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, and the Ancient Origin Holy Land.
The Heavenly Severance Holy Land's power is comparable to the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, maybe even slightly stronger. Their Saint Son's wedding will naturally attract countless powerful people.
Wouldn't it be a great opportunity to get to know those legendary big shots? With their support, Miss Su's imperial path will surely be much smoother."
Yun Weiwei nodded: "Mm, it seems like that's the case."
"Also, Master Shen said that the Soul Shaping Pill is still missing one Colorful Glaze Grass. The Heavenly Severance Holy Land should have it. I'll get it for you when I have a chance. That way, it won't be long before you can cultivate again."
"Mm, thank you, Secretary Ding."
Yun Weiwei's expression was calm. In fact, she didn't really care about whether she could cultivate again after the people from the Yun family had all mysteriously disappeared.
Outside the city, Hu Guangshan, holding his storage bag, said to Zhang Danfeng, "This bit of spirit stones for an invitation to witness the Saint Son's wedding, and even the chance to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao, is really too cheap for that kid."
Zhang Danfeng said, "You can't say that. At least Ding Buer is a decent person, unlike that shop assistant, who looks down on people so much."
Hu Guangshan said, "Next time I get the chance, I'll make that ant kneel and call me ancestor. It really pisses me off."
At this moment, Zhang Danfeng suddenly heard movement in the small woods nearby and quickly gestured for Hu Guangshan to be quiet. "Shh, there's someone over there, let's go take a look."
Hu Guangshan didn't care at all. "With our cultivation, why can't we watch openly?"
Zhang Danfeng said, "The Great Elder said that there are always stronger people out there. We should still be cautious."
So, the two of them followed the sounds, sneaking behind a large rock and peeking out to look about two hundred steps away.
They saw Master Shen's group, arrogant and high-spirited, surrounding two guys kneeling on the ground, their faces bruised and swollen.
Slap!
Liang Hao slapped Chen Xuanfeng's face with a crisp, loud sound.
"Why aren't you arrogant anymore? Weren't you quite the show-off before? Come on, show me that arrogance again. Compared to your current sorry state, I still prefer your rebellious attitude."
Chen Xuanfeng endured the burning pain on his face, glaring fiercely at Liang Hao. "Liang Hao, don't be too arrogant. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the identity of the Heavenly Evolution Saint Son. My Clear Sky Sect is also not an entity you can provoke!"
Slap!
Liang Hao slapped him on the other cheek.
"Clear Sky Sect? What a third-rate sect, and you dare to flaunt it? Don't you know your sect master, Duanmu Long, has already been annihilated by my elder brother's sword? Your Clear Sky Sect is now like meat on a chopping board, at my mercy!"
Chen Xuanfeng and Li Changqing were stunned at first, then burst into laughter.
"Liang Hao, you sure know how to brag. How ethereal and transcendent is our sect master? How could he be slandered by just any Tom, Dick, or Harry?"
"You'd better take back what you just said, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself."
Liang Hao, hearing this, slapped each of them again.
"You dare to doubt the Saint Son's words? Do you want me to send you to hell right now to ask him if he was killed by my elder brother?"
Shen Zhao stopped the farce in time: "Alright, don't make things difficult for them."
After saying that, he walked in front of the two of them and without a word, gave each of them a swift punch.
"Why did you hit me?"
"I can't hit you?"
"Try hitting me again, if you dare?"
Shen Zhao smiled slightly and directly slapped each of them again, completely satisfying their request.
These slaps carried some extra force, directly shattering their teeth.
"What? You want to try again?"
Chen and Li immediately didn't dare to provoke Shen Zhao any further, because the pain from Shen Zhao's two slaps was ten times worse than the dozens of slaps they'd taken from Liang Hao before.
Seeing that they were willing to listen, Shen Zhao slowly said, "That one thing he said was correct, your Sect Master was indeed taken care of by me.
Now you have two choices. First, I let you go, and you can return to the Clear Sky Sect. Second, join the Public Arbitration Council, and your future achievements won't be any worse than they would have been at the Clear Sky Sect. Choose one."
The two men looked at each other, their eyes quickly communicating.
Did they even need to ask? Of course, they would return to the Clear Sky Sect.
But just as they were about to make their choice, Su Yunying casually thrust the Lone Goose Spear into the ground.
As the Emperor's might bloomed, the two of them instantly fell silent.
"The Clear Sky Sect is just that, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, of course. Actually, I've wanted to leave the Clear Sky Sect and venture out on my own for a long time. Now I finally have the chance."
So, both of them said in unison, "We are willing to join the Public Arbitration Council!"
Master Shen nodded in satisfaction. "Excellent. You've both made wise choices. Follow me and I guarantee you won't be mistreated."
Hu Guangshan and Zhang Danfeng, who were watching from a distance, immediately widened their eyes.
"Did you hear that?"
"I heard it."
"The Clear Sky Sect's Sect Master, at the peak of the Nirvana Realm, was actually taken down by this kid."
"Why is this kid so incredibly powerful at such a young age? Could it be that he's bound to some legendary web novel artifact, known as a system?"
"Now's not the time to be figuring this out. The most pressing issue is, if he's telling the truth, then his cultivation must be unfathomable. Wouldn't we just be waiting to be served as the main course if we stay here?"
The two of them broke out in a cold sweat at this thought.
"The wind's picked up, let's scram."
However, they were startled again as they turned to leave.
Master Shen was standing behind them, they didn't know when he'd arrived.
"What did you two see just now?"
Hu Guangshan immediately pretended to be blind: "Sorry, my eyes aren't good anymore, I didn't see anything."
Zhang Danfeng, trembling, met Master Shen's sharp gaze and didn't dare to utter a peep.
Shen Zhao continued, "Since you two have seen this, to keep the secret, I've decided..."
Before he could finish, there were two "thump" sounds as Hu Guangshan and Zhang Danfeng both knelt before Shen Zhao.
"Senior, please be magnanimous and just let us go."
"We promise we won't say anything, please give us a chance, okay?"
Shen Zhao was speechless. He hadn't actually wanted to kill these two.
But since they said that, he decided to play along.
"Hmph, sometimes dead people are better at keeping secrets, you two should understand that."
Hu and Zhang pissed themselves at the words.
"Sir, please spare us this once. We swear to the heavens we won't tell anyone."
"If we do, may we be pierced by ten thousand arrows and die a horrible death."
Shen Zhao scratched his head, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "What were you just saying? What storage pouch?"
Hu Guangshan was stunned and looked at Zhang Danfeng. "Did you mention a storage pouch just now?"
Zhang Danfeng shook his head blankly. "No, I didn't say anything. How did he know we have a storage pouch?"
Suddenly, both of them were startled, finally realizing that this guy wanted to extort them.
So Hu Guangshan immediately took out the storage pouch he had just obtained and threw it in front of Shen Zhao. "It's just a few trifles. If you're happy, Senior, then take it first. We'll offer more benefits in the future to show our respect."
Shen Zhao picked up the storage pouch and took a look, feeling a bit familiar. He immediately checked the contents.
"Damn, isn't this Ding Buer's storage pouch? Could it be that Ding Buer was harmed by them?"
So, he asked sternly, "Where did you get this storage pouch?"
Hu Guangshan hurriedly said, "It was a Body Tempering Realm cultivator surnamed Ding in the town ahead who gave it to us as a gift."
Zhang Danfeng immediately followed up, "We also gave him a wedding invitation, inviting him to attend our Saint Son's wedding at the Heavenly Severance Holy Land on the seventh day of the seventh month."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao remembered that Lü Baichuan and Nangong Zixin's wedding was fast approaching.
Looking at the two of them, there were no traces of spirit qi fluctuations, indicating that Ding Buer had not been harmed.
"Do you still have that invitation?"
As soon as the words fell, Hu Guangshan immediately produced an invitation, "Yes, Senior, take it if you like."
"Only one?"
"Here, take these too."
"We need at least three, right?"
"That's all there is. Please, Master, take them. There are only two extra. Please don't make things difficult for us."
Master Shen nodded, quite pleased, holding the two invitations. "Alright, since you're so sensible, I'll let you off this time. Leave quickly before I change my mind. And take this storage pouch."
He tossed the storage pouch back to them.
The two men were relieved, as if pardoned. They quickly expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, Master, for sparing our lives. We will leave at once."
But just as they were about to get up, a furious voice roared from behind them, "Under the bright sky, in broad daylight, there are actually scoundrels like you bullying the good!"
In an instant, Hu Guangshan and Zhang Danfeng's bodies trembled. Their straightened knees bent, and they knelt again before Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao looked up and saw Xiao Fan, dragging a heavy black sword, appear before the three of them, his face filled with anger.
When he saw it was Shen Zhao, he was stunned for a moment, but his eyes quickly dimmed: "So it's Senior. I don't know why Senior is making things difficult for these two old men?"
Hearing this, Hu Guangshan was drenched in cold sweat, fearing that this rash young man, who had appeared out of nowhere, would anger Shen Zhao and prematurely end his life.
