...

"Master Shouzhe, what is the meaning of this?" Dan Saint Jiang Li Huo’s complexion turned very ugly.

"It doesn’t mean anything." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "I just wish for Senior Dan Saint to stay put honestly and not act rashly. Otherwise, if I get nervous, there might be a stress response for self-defense, and this [Strike of Taoist Master] might accidentally strike your face."

Then, he looked toward Saint Emperor Tianrui and several Sacred Supremes on the other side: "Sacred Supreme Water Moon, Saint Emperor Tianrui, please bear witness to this. It was the Ninth Heaven’s Sacred Supreme who acted first."

His attitude was very amicable, and he still wore a smile on his face, yet his words carried a deadly danger.

"Regarding this, if needed, I can testify," Saint Emperor Tianrui was also startled by the means Wang Shouzhe displayed.

Heads of two Sacred Supremes had come to exert pressure, yet the situation had turned out this way, unexpectedly~~

Sacred Supreme Water Moon also nodded solemnly: "If anyone inquires, this Supreme will narrate truthfully. It was indeed the Ninth Heaven’s Sacred Supreme and Dan Saint Jiang Li Huo who, relying on their strength, came to exert pressure, intending to force other families to sign unfair contracts. After being refused, they acted out of rage and proactively attacked."

Dingsheng Old Ancestor of the Si Family quickly stated that he too would speak according to the truth.

If they were to help the Wang family and the Ji family or Jiang’s to confront and fight, they would be too fearful to intervene. After all, none of them were solitary; behind them were countless descendants and disciples who needed protection. If they rashly intervened and caused trouble, many people would encounter problems.

But with the facts clear now, just standing out and telling the truth was not something they feared.

Although the Ji family and Jiang’s were powerful, they did not have the ability to make them afraid to speak the truth. Unless the Divine King exerted pressure directly, it could make them shut up, but at most, just shut up.

Of course, this is not solely about relationships.

In fact, since cooperating with the Wang family and Shenwu Sacred Alliance, everyone has gained considerable benefits. Ji family and Jiang’s coercive behavior against the Wang family fundamentally infringed upon their interests.

"Thank you three seniors for upholding justice." Wang Shouzhe thanked, bowing with cupped hands.

Dan Saint Jiang Li Huo’s complexion turned a bit pale.

Seeing today’s situation and Wang Shouzhe’s displayed attitude, it’s very clear he doesn’t want to resolve matters peacefully. He was starting to regret; regret listening to the Ninth Heaven’s Sacred Supreme and getting involved in this muddy water.

At this point, Dan Saint Jiang Li Huo understood Wang Shouzhe’s tactic.

The tactic is actually simple, using provocative speech to lure them to take action; once they do, the situation escalates! Then, the initiative would be in his hands.

"Ah~ actually, you can’t blame them either. Some Sacred Race members from Luojing have stayed in that prosperous world for too long, thinking they are the Dominators of the world, and other rural Sacred Dynasties are nothing but henchmen obeying their orders or are leeks for them to harvest." After thanking the three Sacred Supremes, Wang Shouzhe raised his teacup and took a sip, his words seemed to be a sigh, yet also pointedly, "For our kind of rural small clan, unless we unite, it would be hard for us to survive~"

His words could be said to be brazen provocation.

Dan Saint Jiang Li Huo’s expression froze.

Scolding him directly to his face, does he really want to provoke him to attack?

But with the situation developing to this point, if he truly dared to make a move, he would not end up well. So even though his anger was boiling, wishing to hit Wang Shouzhe, he had to resist the urge and remain silent.

Meanwhile, Saint Emperor Tianrui and Old Ancestor of the Si Family fell into contemplation upon hearing this, and the balance within their hearts unknowingly tilted slightly toward Wang Shouzhe.

For a moment, the atmosphere within the other courtyard fell into a stalemate, Dan Saint Jiang Li Huo dared not act rashly, and Wang Shouzhe temporarily controlled the situation.

Meanwhile, above the Ninth Heaven, the battle continues.

Cai Youdao, serving as the main force, had already summoned the Seven-Colored Sacred Peak.

The peak emitting seven-colored rays of light exuded a terrifying might, suppressing the surrounding space, with splendid rays emitting a dreadful power shooting toward the opponent like arrows.

For a moment, the might spread above the Ninth Heaven, filled half of the sky with the glorious light, looking awe-inspiring from afar.

The Ninth Heaven’s Sacred Supreme was maneuvering a golden Sacred Sword with distinguished power to confront it, the golden sword lights moving broadly, sometimes blocking the peak’s suppression, other times slashing through the void toward Cai Youdao.

Under the collision of energy, many sword lights fell recklessly around the Spiritual Mountains and Spirit Field surrounding Guiyuan Other Courtyard, damaging many houses and Spirit Fields, not to mention several Spiritual Mountains also suffered varying degrees of damage.

Luckily, upon seeing things weren’t right, Sacred Supreme Water Moon and others immediately took action to save people, and Wang Shouzhe’s Avatar of Wang Lixian timely opened the Life Domain, saving many low-level tenant farmers and workers from being turned into ashes.

With the strength of the Sacred Supreme, if they intended to control the attack’s range, even if accidents occurred affecting the ground, it shouldn’t have been so frequent, nor should the range of impact be so wide. Given the current situation, it’s hard to say the Ninth Heaven’s Sacred Supreme wasn’t doing it intentionally.

Wang Shouzhe looked up at the sky, the smile that always remained on his face finally faded, and a cold shade was cast on his brows.

Above the Ninth Heaven, Liu Ruolan also noticed the situation within Guiyuan Other Courtyard.
