Is there even a question? Of course, we should go back to Haotian Sect.

Just as they were about to make a choice, Su Yunying intentionally or unintentionally shoved the Lone Goose Spear into the ground.

The moment the Emperor's might was unleashed, the two fell silent.

"The Haotian Sect is nothing special, is it?"

"Ah, right, right, I've actually wanted to leave the Haotian Sect and venture out on my own for a long time, and now I finally have the chance."

The two then said in unison, "We are willing to join the tribunal!"

Shen Zhao nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, you have all made wise choices. Rest assured to follow me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Hu Guangshan and Zhang Danfeng, who saw this scene from a distance, immediately widened their eyes.

Did you hear that?

"I heard you."

"The Haotian Sect Master, a peak Nirvana Realm cultivator, was actually killed by this kid."

"How can this kid be so extraordinary at such a young age? Could it be that he's bound to some legendary online novel artifact called a system?"

"Now is not the time to study this. The most urgent thing is, if what he said is true, then his cultivation level must be unfathomable. If we stay here, won't we just be waiting for the banquet to begin?"

Upon hearing this, the two immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"The wind's getting strong, let's get out of here."

However, as they turned around, they shuddered again.

Shen Zhao was already standing behind them without them noticing.

"What did you two just see?"

Hu Guangshan immediately pretended to be blind: "Sorry, I'm old and my eyesight is bad, I didn't see anything."

Zhang Danfeng trembled with fear, and when he met Shen Zhao's sharp gaze, he couldn't utter a single word.

Shen Zhao continued, "Since you two have both seen it, in order to keep this a secret, I have decided..."

Before he could finish speaking, two loud thuds were heard, and Hu Guangshan and Zhang Danfeng knelt down in front of Shen Zhao.

"Senior, you are so magnanimous, please just let us go like a fart."

"We promise we won't tell anyone, please give us another chance, okay?"

Shen Zhao was speechless. He really didn't want these two to die.

But since they said that, I'll just put on an act.

"Hmph, sometimes the dead are better at keeping secrets than the living, you should all understand that."

Upon hearing this, Hu and Zhang immediately wet themselves.

"Sir, please spare us this time. We swear to God we will never tell anyone."

"If anyone finds out, may I be pierced by a thousand arrows and die a horrible death."

Shen Zhao scratched his head, thought carefully, and suddenly asked, "What were you talking about just now? What storage bag?"

Hu Guangshan was taken aback and looked at Zhang Danfeng: "Did you take out a storage bag just now?"

Zhang Danfeng shook his head blankly: "No, I didn't say anything. How did he know we had storage bags?"

Suddenly, the two of them were both startled, finally realizing that this guy was trying to blackmail them.

Hu Guangshan immediately took out the storage bag he had just obtained and threw it in front of Shen Zhao: "It's just a pittance. If you're happy, senior, then accept it for now. I'll give it to you again when there are benefits in the future."

Shen Zhao picked up the storage bag and glanced at it. It looked somewhat familiar, so he immediately looked at the contents inside.

"Damn, isn't this Ding Bu'er's storage bag? Did they kill Ding Bu'er?"

He then asked sternly, "Where did you get this storage bag?"

Hu Guangshan hurriedly replied, "It was a gift from a Body Tempering Realm cultivator surnamed Ding in the small town ahead."

Zhang Danfeng immediately chimed in: "We also sent him a wedding invitation, inviting him to attend our Holy Son's wedding at the Heavenly Absolute Holy Land on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao remembered that Lü Baichuan and Nangong Zixin's wedding was just around the corner.

Upon closer inspection, there were no signs of spiritual energy erupting on the two individuals, indicating that Ding Bu'er had not been harmed.

"Do you still have that invitation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Guangshan immediately took out an invitation: "Yes, senior, please accept it if you like it."

"Only one?"

"Here you go."

"It should be at least three, right?"

"Here it is, please keep it safe, sir. There are only two extra bills, please don't make things difficult for us."

Shen Zhao held the two invitations and nodded with satisfaction: "Alright, I'll let you off this time since you're sensible enough. Leave quickly before I change my mind, and you can take this storage bag."

After saying that, he threw the storage bag back.

The two men, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, hurriedly expressed their gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much for sparing our lives, sir. We will leave now."

But just as the two stood up, a furious shout came from behind them: "In broad daylight, under the open sky, how dare you, a scoundrel, bully the good and kind!"

Instantly, Hu and Zhang trembled, their knees buckled as they straightened, and they knelt down before Shen Zhao once more.

Shen Zhao looked up and saw Xiao Fan dragging a heavy black sword, standing in front of the three of them with a face full of anger.

When he saw that it was Shen Zhao, he was taken aback, but his eyes quickly dimmed: "So it's you, senior. I wonder why you're making things difficult for these two old people?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Guangshan broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that this hothead who had appeared out of nowhere would anger Shen Zhao and cause him to start his banquet ahead of schedule.
