“I was once a mortal, no different from any other rogue cultivator. There’s no need to treat me with such formality.”

“Master Su, to be honest, I have only been here for a short time and I have responsibilities. I will need your help in many areas in the future.”

His words were quite clever. On the one hand, he gave Su Lin a lot of face, and on the other hand, he was also implying to the Tian Shu cultivators behind him that he was determined to make a name for himself here.

After all, a new leader with the means to act is unlikely to casually target local forces. Although Xiaoyun Temple is not large, maintaining good relations with it is a demonstration of ability and is in line with the interests of the Tian Shu organization itself.

Su Lin glanced at the Tian Shu cultivators behind Jia Zhengyi, realizing that his undercover work was still in a critical stage, and nodded in agreement: "Young Sect Master is young and promising. If there is any need for manpower, I will not hesitate to help."

"Haha, no problem! Everything is negotiable!"

Jia Zhengyi laughed heartily and joined hands with Su Lin as they climbed the mountain. Just then, Huang Yi led a group of survivors down the mountain to provide support.

When they first saw this scene, they were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

What's going on?

These people... they do seem to be Tian Shu cultivators, right? How come they're so close to Su Shen!

That's weird, really weird!

The Tian Shu cultivators who came a while ago were arrogant and ready to fight at any moment. How come they've changed their tune today? The leader of the Tian Shu cultivators is all smiles and acting like a close friend.

Could it be that Su Shen really possesses some great magic that could change the nature of the local demon king forces?
