First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 273: Displaying Power

"Who is the new head? Let him come out and explain to us!"

"What right does he have to dismiss us? The Garrison Bureau is not his personal domain."

"That's right! Even if he is sent by the Linjiang Sect, we didn't do anything to offend him. He just expelled us and cut off our monthly salary!"

"Is it because he comes from a prestigious sect that he looks down on us cultivators from humble backgrounds?"

"Listen, you, surnamed Shen..."

"If he doesn't give us an explanation today, don't blame us for dismantling the Garrison Bureau!"

"..."

Led by five Qi Gathering stage cultivators, the other dismissed cultivators were making a lot of noise.

There were even signs of them attacking the Garrison Bureau.

Zhu Dahai and Ji Gu, both at the Body Tempering stage, stood like door gods at the entrance of the Garrison Bureau.

Although they didn't let them in, they were under immense pressure.

Sweat kept dripping from their foreheads.

"Didn't Tian Lao go to inform the head? Why hasn't Shen, the head, shown up yet?"

"With such a commotion, how could the head, with his cultivation level, not know? I'm afraid he..."

Zhu Dahai didn't directly finish his sentence.

But Ji Gu understood what he meant.

Zhu Dahai felt that this Shen, the head, was probably scared in the face of this situation.

Then, Ji Gu heard Zhu Dahai's voice in his mind: "The head, Shen, should be at the fifth level of the Qi Gathering stage."

"You see, among the troublemakers, one is at the sixth level of Qi Gathering, and one is at the seventh level of Qi Gathering."

"The cultivation levels of the other three are not inferior to Shen, the head!"

"Not to mention there are more than twenty cultivators at the Body Tempering stage. If they join forces, they can even kill a mid-stage Qi Gathering cultivator."

"If Shen, the head, dares to show up, I'm afraid he'll be beaten as soon as he appears."

"Alas..."

"I thought he had some ability."

"As a result, he's no better than the previous two heads. Just another arrogant person with low skills!"

Although Ji Gu felt that Shen Mo was somewhat different from the previous two heads, he couldn't come up with any arguments at the moment.

He could only keep a straight face and remain silent.

However, there were only the two of them at the Garrison Bureau who were at the Body Tempering stage.

No matter how dedicated they were to their duties, they couldn't stop the troublemaking cultivators led by five Qi Gathering stage cultivators.

In the next moment, Zhu Dahai and Ji Gu were blasted into the courtyard of the Garrison Bureau by a tremendous force.

They didn't even see who among the Qi Gathering stage cultivators made the move!

"Fellow Daoists, since that Shen guy doesn't want to give us an explanation, we don't need to be polite!"

"Smash what needs to be smashed, move what needs to be moved."

"Don't leave a single brick or spirit stone for him."

A broken ship still has three pounds of nails.

Although the Garrison Bureau of Hongye City was in a dilapidated state, with some effort, they could still scrape together a few drops of oil.

These troublemaking cultivators wanted to dismantle the simple formations, empty the treasury, and destroy all the buildings in the bureau.

In doing so, not only could they teach a lesson to the new head, but they could also make up for the loss of their monthly salary.

Just as they were about to take action, a terrifying sword aura suddenly rose from within the Garrison Bureau.

"Myriad Manifestations' Wrath!"

In the midst of the cold and low shout, sword qi surged forth.

The cultivators who had broken into the Garrison Bureau seemed to be facing a raging sea, their bodies involuntarily stumbling.

The five Qi Gathering stage cultivators at the front also reacted quickly!

Quickly took out flying swords, magical tools, talismans, and other items, either using immortal techniques or using external objects to resist, attempting to dissolve this surge of sword qi.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

One after another, the talismans, immortal techniques, and sword qi all exploded.

Their bodies, along with the magical tools they had used, were swept away as if they were hit by a tidal wave.

As for the Body Tempering realm cultivators, there was no need to say more.

They had no resistance at all and were successively blasted out of the Zhen Shou Division courtyard by the sword qi!

Inside the courtyard, only Zhu Dahai and Ji Gu remained.

They were extremely shocked as they watched this scene!

They couldn't understand why this sword technique was so powerful.

Nearly thirty cultivators, including two whose cultivation was not weaker than Chief Shen, and the remaining three were also in the Qi Gathering realm.

Faced with this sword move, they were completely powerless!

What was even more incomprehensible was that such terrifying sword qi was unleashed by Chief Shen with ease.

One sword sent thirty cultivators flying.

But, not a single hair on their bodies was harmed!

Zhu Dahai and Ji Gu exchanged a glance, and from each other's faces, they saw the undisguised astonishment.

It wasn't just the two of them, the local cultivators who were secretly paying attention to this matter were also taken aback!

After a brief silence.

Divine thoughts and messages became more and more clamorous.

"So this is the strength of the elite disciples of the Linjiang Sect? Senior Tian, you come from the Linjiang Sect, can you enlighten me?"

"This kind of strength, this kind of Divine Ability... I'm afraid no one below the Spiritual Sea realm can match it."

"But this Chief Shen only has a cultivation of the fifth stage of the Qi Gathering realm. If he advances to the later stage of Qi Gathering, wouldn't he be able to counter-kill those in the Spiritual Sea realm?"

"It's not that simple! The strength of the Spiritual Sea realm is something you can't understand without cultivating it. No matter how strong a Qi Gathering cultivator is, they can only be fierce at the same level!"

"So what? With this kind of strength, if he wants to take control of the grain supply, can you suppress him?"

"What's there to be afraid of! The Tian Clan, the Golden Toad Tower, and the Doujin Sect all have seniors in the Spiritual Sea realm! How can a mere Qi Gathering cultivator overturn the heavens?"

Tian Hong, the patriarch of the Tian Clan, faced the inquiries of divine thoughts and messages with a calm expression.

After Tian Kang and Shi Xiaoqian had tested Shen Mo earlier, he had already known that this disciple's Divine Ability was not weak!

Now that he wanted to win over various forces and continue to overshadow the Zhen Shou Division, he had to respond.

"This Chief Shen is not an ordinary disciple!"

"He comes from the Xingchen Peak of the Linjiang Sect. Although he did not become the disciple of Zhou Shili, he also gained his favor."

"If my information is correct, he should also have practiced Zhou Shili's famous immortal technique, 'Starry Sky Palm'."

"In addition, this disciple defeated all the geniuses of the five major immortal sects at the Tian Shan Convention."

"He even climbed the 736th step of the Immortal Steps..."

"He broke the record set by Fairy Pei Yu for ascending the steps, and is hailed as a once-in-a-decade genius cultivator!"

"I'm not saying all this to make you feel discouraged."

"But to let you know, don't treat this disciple as an ordinary Qi Gathering cultivator!"

"If we are careless and let him restore the prestige of the Zhen Shou Division, we can forget about living as leisurely as we do today."

Naturally, Tian Hong's response once again caused a wave of astonishment.

Soon, many influential figures began to express their stance, wanting to stand with the Tian Clan, the Golden Toad Tower, the Doujin Sect, and other local forces.

They wanted to drive this Chief Shen back to the Linjiang Sect!

However, who could guess their true thoughts?

Even Tian Hong didn't expect that all the cultivating families in the city and the small immortal sects outside the city would unanimously stand together.

If they could really do that.

During the invasion of the Heavenly Demons a hundred years ago, the five major immortal sects would not have established the Zhen Shou Division in Hongye City!
