Chapter 2384 Fermentation
"Threatening the Shi family?" Mu Guang glanced at the two Nascent Soul cultivators upon hearing this.

Then he casually remarked, "I have no idea about any of these 'ten' or 'hundred' families."

"But if you absolutely need a reason, then so be it... Just consider it a threat, and then what?"

This is truly outrageous! The two True Immortals remained silent, and the Nascent Soul cultivator from yesterday also appeared.

He remained expressionless. "You actually don't take the Shi family seriously. You're definitely up to no good. Are you sure you don't want to take back your words?"

Now that things have come to this, he can only deliberately misinterpret the situation and label people, otherwise he won't have a good reason to make trouble, right?
"Alas," a soft sigh came, and two Nascent Soul cultivators appeared, a man and a woman, the man being none other than True Immortal Fei Hong.

He looked at the Nascent Soul cultivator opposite him, utterly speechless. "Fellow Daoist Niu, I'm just wondering, does the Shi family patriarch know about all this trouble you're causing?"

“Brother Feihong, this has nothing to do with you,” said the one called Fellow Daoist Niu, who was the Nascent Soul cultivator who caused trouble yesterday.

He said calmly, "I didn't go to your esteemed place to disturb you. What's done in the martial world should be left to the martial world. Don't you agree?"

"There are so many different interpretations!" Immortal Fei Hong said solemnly.

"If you didn't see it, fine, but since we've run into each other by such a coincidence, we can't let you bully our esteemed guest!"

What a coincidence! He deliberately arranged for someone to keep an eye on things so that he could arrive so quickly.

“Distinguished guest? Hehe,” Niu Zhenxian chuckled dismissively. “Brother Feihong, only those on the host’s territory are guests.”

"I don't know if they are important guests, but even if they are, is it necessary to make such a big deal out of them?"

He didn't think these people could be honored guests in the eyes of True Venerable Minning; ninety-nine percent of the time, it was True Immortal Feihong who was just making a show of it.

But that's not important to him. What's important is, who can manage all the guests' affairs?
Upon hearing this, Immortal Fei Hong feigned surprise, "Are you... instructing my Great Venerable on how to do things?"

"I'm not making fun of you, but I want to ask if it was his idea to bring out the Shi family patriarch?"

“If you insist on being so serious, then there’s no point,” Niu Zhenxian said, his face darkening.

"If I bring out the patriarch, can you handle the situation?"

This wasn't a threat. Although the Shi family patriarch was only at the Nascent Soul stage, his status was far greater than that of True Immortal Fei Hong.

If it weren't for the Shi family patriarch being the leader, Niu Zhenxian wouldn't have dared to speak to the other party like that.

Upon hearing this, Immortal Fei Hong hesitated slightly. He only wanted to help out and show his support, but he had taken it upon himself to make the decision.

As he was wondering how to respond, he heard the Nascent Soul cultivator among the tenants speak up, "This is not a place to talk."

"How about we find a quiet, secluded place?"

"Hmm?" Niu Zhenxian frowned. "A deserted place... are you sure?"

“If it’s convenient for you, we can go outside the plate,” Mu Guang replied casually, “and call your ancestor!”

"My surname is Niu, not Shi!" Immortal Niu was furious and looked at Immortal Fei Hong, "Should I grant your distinguished guest's request?"

"It's up to you," Fei Hong replied frankly. "If it goes off the rails, I can't control it!"

Niu Zhenxian was now truly hesitant. Had he really run into a brick wall?

But given the current situation, expecting him to back down in public is unrealistic.

So he said in a deep voice, "Then let's set a time. The patriarch of the Shi family... is not someone I can easily invite out."

"You decide," Mu Guang said, showing no respect whatsoever, and released the flying boat to sail away.

In the end, he only left one sentence: "We're ready to fight anytime. Just don't bully the weak in the future."

Niu Zhenxian was quite speechless. He looked at Fei Hong Zhenxian and said, "Brother Fei Hong, you see, this is not to disrespect you."

Immortal Fei Hong wanted to say something, but was afraid of ruining the Great Venerable's plans.

So he could only give the other person a cold look and say, "Give me face... you're still not good enough!"

“You…” Niu Zhenxian was so angry that his nose almost twisted out of shape.

However, he had to admit that while True Immortal Fei Hong could give face to the Shi family patriarch, he... was truly not worthy of being on equal footing with him.

However, given how things have developed, letting it go now would severely damage the Shi family's reputation.

Seeing Fei Hong drift away without even saying goodbye, Niu Zhenxian snorted sullenly, "So what if he found a good master?"

However, he also had a boss, so he turned around and left to find the patriarch of the Shi family.

The patriarch of the Shi family lived to be 1,600 years old. He was still capable of fighting and was not far from his peak.

However, after hearing about this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Get ready, come with me to my door!"

Niu Zhenxian was taken aback upon hearing this. "Boss, you coming to their door? Isn't that giving them too much credit?"

"What's there to be proud of?" The Shi family patriarch snorted. "That's the territory of the one in the Daoist temple, a Great Venerable!"

“But Young Master… Young Master is the sect’s prodigy,” Niu Zhenxian said, frowning.

The Shi family is a considerable clan, with more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators, and they wield considerable influence in the surrounding areas.

The oldest ancestor of the Shi family is not the oldest; the oldest is a Nascent Soul cultivator who is over 1,800 years old.

But that person barely has any fighting strength left; they're basically just waiting to contribute their remaining energy to the family.

However, the reason why the Shi family patriarch was able to become the leader was not only because he still had combat power, but also because he had a descendant who was too outstanding in the Lingyun Sect.

As a local family, the Shi family has many members who have joined sects, but the competition in sects is too fierce, and it is too difficult to stand out.

The ancestor had a descendant who attained the Golden Core at the age of ninety and entered the Nascent Soul stage at the age of one hundred and seventy, and was regarded by the sect as a definite prospect for the Out-of-Body stage.

Because he was born locally and had a clean background, he could withstand various forms of investigation, making him a direct descendant of the sect.

This person, whose lifespan is now only seven hundred years, is already a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator who ranks among the top in the sect.

With the cultivation level of the young master of the Shi family, his status should be far inferior to that of True Venerable Minning, but he is the true direct descendant of Lingyun.

That's why some people are willing to gamble on his future and give him face!

His ability to reach this point is not only due to his exceptional talent and the excellent upbringing he received from the sect, but also inseparable from the strong support of the Shi family.

The patriarch of the Shi family sponsored many of his descendants and finally reaped a huge reward.
Without going into too much detail, in Efeng No. 3, his position is definitely a little higher than that of True Immortal Feihong.

Although Fei Hong was following the Immortal Venerable, that person was merely an honorific of the Lingyun Sect, and not the same as a direct disciple.

Moreover, he is the ancestor of Lingyun Tianjiao, not a follower. Anyone with a brain knows who has more weight.

Upon hearing this, the Shi family patriarch didn't bother to explain further. He simply said, "Just come with me."

"Boss, you're going in person?" Niu Zhenxian asked in astonishment. "Isn't that giving them too much face?"

"Who will give whom face is still hard to say," the Shi family patriarch said leisurely. "I might have to swallow my pride and beg someone."

He's over 1,600 years old, he's not living for nothing, what kind of situation hasn't he seen? He doesn't think he can always have the upper hand.

In addition, he has a large family behind him, so he won't put on a brave face when he needs to.

“Boss, I was wrong,” Niu Zhenxian said anxiously. “I just thought that the other party might have discovered a high-quality secret realm.”

“I don’t mean to blame you,” the Shi family patriarch replied calmly. “A horse won’t get fat without night grass, and a person won’t get rich without unexpected wealth.”

"However, there is another saying... People die for wealth, birds die for food. You can't just see the benefits and not see the risks."

After saying that, he stood up expressionlessly. "Let's go, let's go pay a visit and see what kind of plan it is."

"At this time?" Niu Zhenxian wanted to say that it was getting late, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything more.

Not wanting more people to know, they arrived at the spirit site together late at night.

Niu Zhenxian released his divine sense, "The Shi family patriarch has come to pay his respects. Is it convenient for the host to do so?"

He had genuinely invited them this time, so he wasn't very polite and directly stated that it was a "meeting".

"Don't know him!" a voice rang out, sounding like Kunxiu. "We have no interest in meeting irrelevant people, leave."

"Damn it..." Niu Zhenxian grinned, thinking, "This is just asking for trouble."

He was using his divine sense, but the other party spoke directly. In the middle of the night, how many people could hear him?
I originally wanted to keep a low profile and discuss things privately, but the other party's actions were really disrespectful.

"Let's go," the Shi family patriarch said, his face also losing its composure. "Tell them we'll meet again tomorrow outside the plate!"

He did come with the mindset of solving the problem, and he was prepared to back down and yield if he encountered a tough opponent.

But the other party's attitude... even a clay figure has a fiery temper!

The Shi family patriarch never even considered whether it was appropriate to come over in the middle of the night, given that the two sides had no prior relationship.

Ultimately, although he says he doesn't care about saving face, he's gotten used to things going smoothly all these years and his behavior isn't as disciplined.

He believed that the other party's open response and transmission of information to the outside world showed no sincerity in resolving the issue and even had a provocative nature.

Since that's the case, he no longer needs to be polite—does he really think that just because he has a good temper, he can control the Shi family?
Niu Zhenxian asked quietly, "Should we use divine sense to communicate, or retaliate openly?"

After some thought, the Shi family patriarch decided to keep a low profile. "They don't care about divine sense, so we can't be careless!"

A day later, he was extremely glad he had made the decision; if it had attracted too many onlookers, he would have been incredibly embarrassed!
The next day, Xiangxue and Claire went to the market to set up their stall as usual, but Mu Guang followed them in.

Other stalls also had a few Nascent Soul cultivators, but seeing two female Golden Core cultivators bring Nascent Soul cultivators with them, I knew that the incident from a few days ago had gotten out of hand.

So no one came closer to say anything; they just watched coldly from afar.

Around noon, a Golden Core cultivator under the command of Niu Zhenxian walked over, raised his hand in a gesture of respect, then waved his hand and turned to leave.

Mu Guang smiled slightly at the two women, and without saying a word, followed them out.

Upon exiting the market, Niu Zhenxian and two other Zhenxian were already waiting for him.

Seeing that only Mu Guang came out, Niu Zhenxian frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Just you?"
