"Hey, wake up."
Feeling the shaking, Jiang De, who had fainted at some point, slowly woke up.
In his hazy state, he seemed to see a red ball dangling erratically in front of him.
When he saw clearly that the creature in front of him was a red-faced monster with fangs, his fragile heart skipped a beat.
"A ghost—!!!"
Sheng Ning watched the man jump up from the spot, then patted him on the shoulder. "I heard you guys aren't afraid of me~"
Jiang De's pupils contracted as he was so frightened that his brain went blank. He remembered that he had come today to drive away evil spirits.
So those cultivators didn't drive away the evil spirits; instead, they made them materialize.
Upon realizing this, Jiang De knelt down in front of Sheng Ning with a thud.
"Evil spirit grandpa, I was wrong, I'll never dare to do it again. Please, have mercy on me..."
The man who had fainted around the same time as Jiang De was now awakened by the noise.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang De kneeling on the ground kowtowing to people.
Looking in the direction of the person in front of Jiang De, the sight of that red-faced, fanged man made his eyes roll back in terror, and he fainted again.
When Jiang De saw that his companions had all fainted, he grabbed Sheng Ning's clothes and cried.
"Evil spirit, I have elderly parents and young children to support. I was being unreasonable today, please forgive me..."
Sheng Ning, hidden behind the mask, raised the corners of her lips. She cleared her throat and deliberately lowered her voice, saying, "Are you a disciple of the Invincible Sect?"
"No, no, no! It wasn't me, it was him!" Jiang De pointed at the man who had fainted again, his eyes wide with rage. "He said that Old Sun's spirit stones were easy to fool."
"He said that many cultivators had cheated Old Sun out of his spirit stones before, which is why he dragged me along..."
Sheng Ning immediately turned to her senior brothers, took off her mask, and looked as if she had breathed a sigh of relief. "He is not our junior brother."
"I knew it! How could Master possibly accept such an ugly disciple as a disciple?" Lu Qing'an frowned in disgust.
"Junior Sister's move is brilliant! Junior Sister, let Senior Brother play with the mask too." Yu Ye rubbed his hands together and walked towards Sheng Ning with a smile.
"Junior Sister is wearing this to trick him into telling the truth. If you wear this on the street, you'll only get beaten up." Guan Yunchuan poured cold water on him without any mercy.
Listening to what the people in front of him were saying, Jiang De belatedly realized that he had been tricked.
He pointed at Sheng Ning and the others, his fingertips trembling, and he stammered "you you you" for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning turned around and glared down at him. "What? You don't focus on cultivating and benefiting all living beings, and you're actually thinking of deceiving people?"
"If we hadn't been here today, wouldn't the two of you have swindled the boss out of everything?"
Her words were sharp, and the fierce look in her eyes left Jiang De speechless for a moment.
His lips trembled slightly; he was indeed one of the few cultivators in the town, and a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator at that.
Jiang De had always been held in high esteem and had never been so humiliated.
Jiang De, who released his spiritual power in an attempt to suppress Sheng Ning and the others with his perfect Qi Refining cultivation, completely forgot that he should understand his opponent's abilities before making a move.
As soon as he released his aura, it made Sheng Ning and the others laugh.
Jiang De widened his eyes and said, "You still dare to laugh when you're about to die? Kneel down and call me grandpa now, and I might let you go."
"As for you, why don't you come back with me and enjoy the good life..."
The man's lewd gaze fell on Sheng Ning.
If the way Yu Ye and the others looked at Jiang De a moment ago was like looking at a clown...
At this moment, they looked at him as if he were a dying man.
Su Daiyuan narrowed his eyes and took a step forward. The temperature, which had been normal just moments before, dropped instantly.
The moisture in the air, invisible to others, instantly condensed into a sharp icicle, its edges all pointing directly at Jiang De.
"What did you just say? Say it again?"
Lu Qingan's hands were bulging with veins, and his usually slender body now showed some muscle definition. "Yeah, what did you just say?"
Lu Jingshen rushed forward two steps and stopped his two senior brothers, "You've gone up so many times, shouldn't it be my turn now?"
Yu Ye and Guan Yunchuan each held a high-quality Gatling gun, pointing the muzzle directly at Jiang De's forehead.
"Our junior sister, how dare a piece of trash like you even dream of her?"
The combined pressure of two Nascent Soul cultivators and three Golden Core cultivators pressed down on Jiang De alone.
The man was only at the Qi Refining stage, but the pressure from Su Daiyuan and the other four was so great that he couldn't even lift his head.
Guan Yunchuan stepped forward and stomped on him, saying, "Ugly people always cause trouble. I'll kill you."
With the cold muzzle of a gun pressed against his head, Jiang De, who had lived in a small town since childhood, used only low-grade spirit stones.
The mere sight of Guan Yunchuan holding a top-grade spiritual weapon against him was enough to terrify him.
The slight arrogance that had just arisen had completely vanished.
Jiang De was afraid they would really kill him, so he saw him lying on the ground, begging for mercy in a trembling voice.
"I...I...I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I didn't know you fellow Daoists were so powerful. I was just a bully relying on my master's power..."
Sheng Ning, who had already removed her mask, looked disgusted as she was stepped on again on the back.
"A dog relying on its master's power? Who is your master that allows you to act so arrogantly?"
"Didn't you not believe we were disciples of the Invincible Sect? Now you do?"
Jiang De nodded shakily, inwardly groaning with despair.
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have agreed to let He Da come and swindle this old man, Sun.
