After some distance from the Shui family, Zhang Liang couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yang, why won't you let me continue?"
Although the Shui family is full of stubborn old men like Shui Jing, there are still many who understand things.
"Give me a chance, and I'm confident I can persuade them to let me into the Shui family's camp."
Zhang Liang was very confident in his eloquence, but unfortunately Yang Cheng didn't give him the opportunity to use it.
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "Of course I believe in your abilities, Zifang, but what's the point?"
You can't make a sale by rushing things; some people just won't learn their lesson until they see the coffin.
We rushed into the Shui family's camp, and you and I know we were helping them, but the Shui family doesn't know that.
They won't trust us then, and they'll even send people to keep an eye on us. What's the point of us doing this?
So some things don't need to be forced; just let nature take its course.
Zifang, even though you are eloquent and persuasive, you cannot truly convince them.
Human nature isn't something that can be grasped through words; it requires people to think for themselves.
Zhang Liang smiled wryly and said, "So there's no other way?"
Yang Cheng squinted and said, "Of course there is a way. The wooden bird has already been given to the Shui family. It's up to them to decide what to do."
Didn't that old fellow Shui Jing say before that Nuwa's Tears was just a treasure of his Shui family and had nothing to do with other people?
Actually, it's the same for us.
To put it bluntly, does the life or death of the Shui family really matter?
It doesn't matter; what matters is that we can't let Nuwa's tears fall into Xu Fu's hands.
Even if the Shui family is defeated, as long as we don't let Nuwa's Tears leave Yunmeng Marsh, that's fine.
So just wait patiently. The choice between life and death is in the hands of the Shui family; we don't need to worry about it.
Although Yang Cheng's words were harsh in reality, they were the truth.
The Shui family doesn't trust them, and there's no need for the government to send them to their deaths.
After hearing this, Zhang Liang was persuaded and led his men to set up camp by a lake.
The Mohists appeared and made a fishing tool, which greatly surprised Yang Cheng.
Good heavens, there wasn't even a fishing hook, yet the fish were eagerly biting the line. I wonder what methods the Mo family used to make these fish keep coming back to bite.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yang Cheng and his companions didn't rest.
The Mo family has a mechanism that can monitor the surrounding area. It looks like a bird's nest, but one can monitor the surrounding area for miles.
Once the Mo family has made the arrangements, they will be able to detect the attack of the Lishan demons immediately.
At this moment, in the Shui family camp, the Shui family disciples responsible for guarding the city were holding bows and arrows, staring intently at the outside of the camp.
All the disciples of the Shui family are cultivators. The women cultivate magic and the men cultivate combat techniques. They are all Qi-refining methods passed down from the Xia and Shang dynasties. There is no bad custom of passing on knowledge only to men.
Because it was a time of war, the Shui family had been a nation of soldiers even when they were outside the country.
The older generation in the clan are old-fashioned and stubborn, and they have always trained their disciples in this way, so this tradition has been passed down to this day.
So it's no wonder Xiong Wu wanted to recruit the Shui family. These thousands of people could immediately form an army of cultivators, and everyone would be envious.
At this moment, a member of the Shui family suddenly exclaimed, "Look! What is that?!"
All the members of the Shui family looked in that direction, and saw terrifying figures emerging from the dense forest.
The thing was over two meters tall, with long arms and legs, and its entire body was covered in charred skin, as if it had been formed from cooled magma.
The monster's elbows and knees were covered with sharp, black barbs, some of which were stained with bright red blood.
The monster's head was almost unrecognizable as human; it had no eyes, nose, ears, or other facial features, just a pitch-black mass. Its enormous mouth split open all the way to the back of its ears, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth like those of a shark.

Since there are cultivators in this world, there must also be some demonic beasts born from bathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or from accidentally consuming some rare and precious materials.
But at least the appearances of those monsters were somewhat traceable, but these things were simply monstrous and terrifying.
Shuiqing, the son of the clan chief Shuijing, was in charge of defense tonight. Upon seeing this scene, he immediately felt a pang of anxiety and shouted, "Enemy attack! Go and fetch the clan chief and the other elders immediately! Everyone, prepare to defend against the enemy!"
Seeing the terrifying appearance of these monsters, Shui Qing already felt a little regretful.
During the day, Yang Cheng and the others described the arrival of the demon from Mount Li, but Shui Qing didn't take it seriously, treating it as just an ordinary enemy.
But who knew that this Lishan demon would be such a terrifying monster?
If he had known this would happen, he should have tried to persuade his father to keep Yang Cheng and the others here.
Meanwhile, the Shui family had already engaged in combat with the demon from Mount Li.
However, the Shui family soon discovered that their attacks were completely ineffective!
The arrows of the Shui family were covered with various types of power.
Having ice attributes can increase sharpness, allowing you to strike the enemy with your arrows once they are fired.
There are also water-based creatures that are poisonous and can kill an elephant instantly.
However, none of these had any effect on the demon from Mount Li.
The arrows struck the Lishan demons; those with less force were deflected, while those with greater force, though piercing the demons' bodies, were easily pulled out.
