Hearing Meng Tianshu’s threat, He Zhongshu immediately laughed. He cast a contemptuous glance at Cheng Yuhan and the others. "These people don’t seem particularly remarkable. Is it worth you, Meng Tianshu, threatening me? Others might fear you because you are an Immortal Seedling, but I don’t." The people around watched on in interest. An Immortal Seeding face-off…. He Zhongshu has the upper hand. The Moon Worshiping Dao Sect is far stronger than the Seven Profound Sect. Nan Gong and the others decided not to intervene, letting them settle this between them. Given these two’s status, whatever they said would go in one ear and out the other, so it was better not to waste their breath. Before Meng Tianshu could speak, Cheng Yuhan looked He Zhongshu up and down and suddenly sneered. "Oh, it’s He Zhongshu of the Moon Worshiping Dao Sect. I’ve heard of you. I didn’t expect you to have such a close relationship with the Great Expansion Dao Sect." "Senior Brother Cheng, I’ve heard that recently various sects have been distancing themselves from the Great Expansion Dao Sect?" Wang Hu laughed. "And now you’re all chummy with him?" He Zhongshu and Lin Hai’s expressions changed slightly. The matters between the Void Immortal Sword Sect and the Great Expansion Dao Sect were no secret, and many were aware. Cheng Yuhan’s gaze fell on Lin Hai, his tone indifferent. "Right. I am Cheng Yuhan, a disciple of the Extreme Sword Peak of the Void Immortal Sword Sect. I am here to challenge you today." Lin Hai’s eyes drifted around, feeling a pang of regret. Had he known these people were from the Void Immortal Sword Sect, he wouldn’t have provoked them. But it was too late for regrets. He couldn’t afford to embarrass the Great Expansion Dao Sect, especially at such a critical time. Resolving to stay composed, Lin Hai said, "You want to challenge me? I dislike fighting. I like to talk things out. You might as well ask Brother He." The crowd looked on with a mix of expressions. Traditionally, being asked for pointers from Void Immortal Sword Sect disciples was just a formality, not a real challenge. The real fight was up to the person’s decision. They noticed Lin Hai was already backing down, but with He Zhongshu still present, it wasn’t certain whether the Void Immortal Sword Sect would gain an upper hand today. Seeing Lin Hai pass the hot potato to him, He Zhongshu cursed inwardly. He turned to Cheng Yuhan and said calmly, "Very well, if you wish to ask for pointers, direct them at me. I accept your challenge." He added with a hint of mockery, "It seems Meng Tianshu, who is known for his stubbornness and disregard for power, is now trying to curry favor with the Void Immortal Sword Sect. Meng Tianshu, have you fallen so low?" Meng Tianshu smiled but didn’t respond, his gaze toward He Zhongshu filled with increasing pity. "You want me to accept the challenge? Just because you’re an Immortal Seedling, do you think I’m a fool?" Cheng Yuhan laughed. "I’ll challenge this fellow here. As for you, I’ll let Brother Fang handle you." "That guy?" He Zhongshu pointed at Wang Hu with a disdainful smile. "His cultivation level is even lower than yours. Challenging me? That’s a certain loss." "I’m Wang Hu," Wang Hu said with a smile. He pointed toward Fang Chen. "Brother Fang is the one over there fishing. He doesn’t want to be disturbed, every disruption literally costs him quite a few mid-grade spirit stones. But since you insist on us challenging you, Brother Fang will be the one to do it. We can’t deal with an Immortal Seedling." The crowd exchanged odd glances and looked toward Fang Chen. From Wang Hu’s words, it seemed that Fang Chen was qualified to challenge an Immortal Seedling. Could it be that he was a Void Immortal Sword Sect Immortal Seedling? As He Zhongshu said that, he suddenly found the youth somewhat familiar and took another closer look. "Hmm, where have I seen him before…? Why does he look so familiar…?" He Zhongshu furrowed his brow, feeling that the youth’s profile was strikingly familiar. As he pondered, he asked, "Fellow Cultivator, could you please turn around?" At that moment, Fang Chen caught another Black Dragon Fish. Casually tossing it aside as he adjusted his fishing bait, he glanced at He Zhongshu. As He Zhongshu saw Fang Chen’s face clearly, memories long buried began to resurface. He remembered who this was! "Uh, sorry for the interruption. Please continue with your fishing," He Zhongshu said calmly, making a polite gesture before turning to Lin Hai and admonishing, "Hurry up and honor your bet. Go on, pay up. I have a stomach ache and need to leave." Everyone was stunned. How could the attitude of the Moon Worshiping Dao Sect’s Immortal Seedling change so drastically? Lin Hai was astonished. "He Zhongshu, you…" "Forget it. I’m not feeling well, my stomach hurts too much!" He Zhongshu said, clutching his stomach as he prepared to leave. The cultivators who had come with He Zhongshu were also stunned. They didn’t know what to make of this. Cheng Yuhan sneered repeatedly, "What, recognized Junior Brother Fang? If you’ve recognized him, then go and greet him properly and stop playing dumb." He Zhongshu stopped in his tracks, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He suddenly turned to Meng Tianshu and shouted angrily, "Meng Tianshu, are you trying to make a fool of me? What offense did I commit against you?!" At this moment, he finally understood why Meng Tianshu had intervened. Even though he hadn’t been present at the Immortal Dynasty Manor that day, he had watched the whole event through the Heaven Profound Mirror. That person was the Mad King, who had even slapped a Dao Union Realm cultivator! Even when not in his crazed state, the Mad King could defeat an Immortal Seedling like Meng Tianshu with a single move. How could a mere Immortal Seedling from the Moon Worshiping Dao Sect, like He Zhongshu, provoke such a terrifying figure? Meng Tianshu maintained a calm smile, unfazed by the curses. Words like that wouldn’t bother him in the slightest. Lin Hai could no longer hold back and shouted, "He Zhongshu, what is going on?!" He Zhongshu took a deep breath and ignored Lin Hai. Instead, he bowed deeply to the focused Fang Chen. "I am He Zhongshu of the Moon Worshiping Dao Sect. Greetings, Mad King." The crowd's expressions changed drastically as they finally realized who Fang Chen was. It was his identity that had frightened He Zhongshu so much!
