The Great Sea Demon King, who had threatened Shen Qiang, returned to his seat with a cold sneer, quietly sat down, picked up the tea poured by his attendants, and with an appreciative look, gazed at the enchanting Nalan Tianyu, beautifully dressed in a snow-white military uniform beside Shen Qiang, and admired, "Tianyu, like a flawless jade fallen from the heavens, let her witness who truly is the king in this world!"
The Great Sea Demon King seed to be eagerly anticipating a good show.
At this mont, under the begrudging gaze of the dicine King Inn's manager, Shen Qiang casually pulled out a chair, taking a seat opposite Nalan Tianyu, and then gestured for her and the twin-tailed girl to sit down.
The two complied, understanding the gesture, and sat down.
Seeing this, the manager of dicine King Inn was furious, and shouted sternly, "Mr. Shen, you must provide us with a reasonable explanation, or else, please leave. This is dicine King Valley, this is the Elixir Pills Conference, not a killing spree!"
With the manager of dicine King Inn enraged, the many cultivators who had co to their senses erupted into chaos.
"That's right, Shen Qiang must give us an explanation, such disregard for life is simply lawless!"
"Old Zhang was wrong; he shouldn't have laughed at that maiden, nor slandered her, but even if he said sothing excessive, it wasn't severe enough to deserve death. How arrogant, how reckless is Shen Qiang!"
"Indeed, does justice exist anymore? So many people watching here, and this man, can just kill with no consequence?"
"A statent must be given, it's not negotiable!"
The crowd clamored, descending into disorder.
With the support of the masses, and with the strong presence of dicine King Valley around, the manager sternly said, "Mr. Shen, silence solves nothing. For this matter, you must provide a reasonable explanation!"
"Yes! A reasonable explanation is necessary!"
The hall was charged with emotion, many cultivators clamoring.
At that mont, Shen Qiang coldly raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators, and wherever his sight rested, silence ensued.
Surveying the entire hall, Shen Qiang calmly said, "When I, Shen Qiang, act, why should I have to explain to you?"
Instantly, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.
The bald Great Sea Demon King's eyes instantly sparkled: "Alright, though powerfully weak, this deanor sowhat resembles myself back in the day. With ti, he might just be able to compete with ."
In the corner, a chubby man who had been looking bored suddenly had his eyes lit with a sharp gleam, staring intently at Shen Qiang while an amused smile crossed his face: "Interesting, quite audacious, very good, such characters are rare. Seems he could barely make half a rival for ."
Compared to these two.
The other cultivators were full of shock.
"Dominant! When I, Shen Qiang, act, why should I have to explain to you! What imnse inner strength must one possess to utter such commanding words!"
"King of Demons... This is the true King of Demons! So domineering! He's not even interested in providing an explanation? What sheer disregard for everything!"
"The mont I heard those words, I only felt my scalp tingle. Unexpectedly, Shen Qiang, the King of Demons, has already reached such a level of dominance. Such words, looking across the Cultivation World, I fear even the twelve standing at the peak could scarcely speak them so freely!"
While the crowd of cultivators was in shock, sitting opposite Shen Qiang, Nalan Tianyu, not only gazed at Shen Qiang with sparkling beautiful eyes, but a slight blush also appeared on her fair face.
"Facing a thousand pointing fingers without flinching, this is a real man. In such a situation, those with weaker courage might be anxious to defend themselves, but my king simply disdains doing such things!"
The big-eyed, twin-tailed girl also widened her beautiful eyes and instantly exclaid inwardly.
"Oh, that's exhilarating, a man ought to be like this!"
While everyone remained in shock, at this mont, the manager of dicine King Inn gradually returned to his senses from the disbelief, and then angrily said, "Mr. Shen, you're not welco here, please leave imdiately! Otherwise, don't bla us for being unkind!"
As his words fell, Shen Qiang, with a composed deanor, smiled and calmly said, "Manager, I think you haven't figured out one thing yet, which is, participating in the Elixir Pills Conference is because I want to co, not because you want to co, understand?"
In an instant, everyone was shaken.
To know, wanting to co on your own and being asked to co by them might sound similar, but they are fundantally different.
Shen Qiang wanting to co was Shen Qiang's own decision.
dicine King Valley inviting him was dicine King Valley's will.
"Indeed, frighteningly audacious!"
While everyone was on edge.
Suddenly, applause ca from the side door of the banquet hall.
The sound wasn't loud, but it had a strange rhythm, drawing the attention of everyone present.
"Worthy of being the King of Demons, the big boss of Heshenghe, although very young, he possesses great courage."
Seeing the middle-aged man wearing a high-collared suit, approximately in his forties, at the side door, the manager of dicine King Inn froze, anxiously saying, "Sect Leader."
Everyone present was startled.
The Valley Master of dicine King Valley, Qin Zhengquan, the most eminent man in the Cultivation World, while many had heard of him, not many in the banquet hall had actually t him.
"Valley Master of dicine King Valley!"
"Woah! This is the peak leader!"
"Seems quite ordinary!"
While the cultivators had their thoughts racing, the Valley Master of dicine King Valley, Qin Zhengquan, smiled slightly at Shen Qiang and said calmly, "Let introduce myself, I am the Valley Master of dicine King Valley, my na is Qin Zhengquan. You can call Valley Master Qin, or Mr. Qin, or Qin Zhengquan. I'm here to correct sothing said by my disciple."
With that, the Valley Master of dicine King Valley coldly glanced at the manager of the inn, then smiled, "dicine King Valley welcos every fellow cultivator, every alchemist, whether it's Mr. Shen from Heshenghe or other fellow cultivators alike."
Hearing this, an old man stood up angrily, said coldly, "Valley Master Qin is a big figure, but that Daoist Zhang, originally joyfully participating in the Elixir Pills Conference, unexpectedly fell victim to Shen Qiang's hands, and now, Shen Qiang refuses to even provide an explanation. Is it the Valley Master's intention for this matter to just pass like so?"
Instantly, everyone in the banquet hall grew tense.
At this mont, the Valley Master of dicine King Valley, Qin Zhengquan, sighed calmly, "An old saying from Huaxia, 'Disaster cos from careless talk.' This Daoist Zhang, discussing others behind their back, spreading rumors and destroying reputations, is already quite contemptible. When confronted by the offended party, he not only fails to repent but also sneers at the victim. He dared them, if they have the ans, to kill him? Such actions, if placed amongst any one of you present, who would spare him?"
Facing the silent crowd, dicine King Valley calmly said, "Your unease stems from having spoken similar words, but I believe, with Mr. Shen's magnanimity, he won't hunt you down one by one."
"As for friends and relatives of Daoist Zhang, if they wish to avenge him, they can arrange a ti for a life-or-death duel with Mr. Shen. That is your matter. But now, I would like to ask Mr. Shen and everyone present, would you be so kind as to start the banquet and allow dicine King Valley to perform its host duties?"
