"What are they yelling about?"
"The head of Tantai Peak is the acting head of the sect. What does this elder Zheng have to do with him?!"
"Forget it. It's already hard to survive. This is not something we can participate in."
"Why? It was clearly Senior Sister and the others who killed these monsters with all their might. Why is he trying to take credit for it?"
"Shh, Senior Brother Shi, keep your voice down!"
When the people of Zhenlian City bowed down to Zheng Shengmo and even shouted for him to take over as the head of Zhenyang Sect, the more than 30 surviving disciples of Zhenyang Sect on the ground were all indignant.
They fought desperately with the monsters and watched their fellow disciples who had been with them day and night fall one by one. Some were even dismembered and eaten by the monsters, leaving no body behind.
It was such a tragic battle, and we were finally about to win, but Zheng Shengmo just came over and reaped the fruits of victory.
He also made all the people in Zhenlian City believe that the killing of the monster was his own achievement.
Such behavior is really shameless!
Even though he was an elder of the Zhenyang Sect, these surviving disciples could not accept it.
Especially Shi Ying, he has a bad temper and won't submit to anyone. In the fierce battle just now, all his fellow apprentices from Huashen Peak died tragically, leaving only him and He Zhiqiu.
So many fellow disciples who were as close as brothers to each other died in the fight against the beast tide, but the glory they gained with their lives was easily taken away by others.
Shi Ying refused to accept!
At this time, Zheng Shengmo floated down from the top of Qilian Mountain and stood in front of Zhenlian City. The city gate opened, and Xu Jiangxing led a group of family heads to come out to greet him.
Behind them were countless people from Zhenlian City, each with gratitude and admiration on their faces.
General Xu quickly came to Zheng Shengmo, bowed to him, and said respectfully:
"Thank you, Elder Zheng, for killing the monster and saving tens of thousands of people in Zhenlian City. Your kindness will be remembered by everyone in Zhenlian City!"
As soon as General Xu finished speaking, countless people in Zhenlian City shouted loudly:
"Thank you, Elder Zheng!"
"Elder Zheng, please accept our greetings!"
"Please accept my greeting!"
In an instant, countless people knelt down before Zheng Shengmo in front of the city gate and on the city walls.
Zheng Shengmo smiled and said in a gentle voice: "Everyone, please stand up quickly. Protecting the people of the world is the duty of those of us who practice Taoism. I dare not take credit for it."
"Elder Zheng is a man of high moral character and integrity. He is truly a role model for us!"
"Elder Zheng is highly respected and virtuous. We all bow down to him!"
The people bowed down again, and Xu Jiangxing, Zhou Shineng and others also bowed in greeting.
For a time, almost the entire Zhenlian City was in submission to Zheng Shengmo. With such reputation and power, even Tan Tai Mingyue, the acting head of the Zhenyang Sect, was far inferior to him.
"snort!"
Suddenly, a cold snort sounded, and Shi Ying walked up to Zheng Shengmo and said coldly:
"Excuse me, Uncle Zheng, we have been fighting with the monsters for a long time, and almost all of our people are dead, but you are so late. Why is that?"
As soon as Shi Ying said this, everyone in Zhenlian City who was kneeling and worshipping Zheng Shengmo looked up in shock and looked at Zheng Shengmo in surprise.
"No way?"
"What is this immortal master talking about?"
"Elder Zheng killed the ancient beast, but we saw it with our own eyes!"
Xu Jiangxing and Zhou Shineng looked at each other but said nothing.
Zheng Shengmo looked calm, still smiling, and asked Shi Ying:
"Which peak are you from?"
Shi Ying bowed and said, "I am an outer sect disciple of Huashen Peak, Shi Ying!"
Zheng Shengmo's smile became more amiable, and his voice became very kind:
"So you are Junior-Martial-Nephew Shi Ying. Shi Shuhong mentioned you to me before, saying that you are gifted and will achieve great things in the future. However, your character still needs to be tempered. Don't worry, Junior-Martial-Nephew will not blame you."
Shi Ying was stunned by what he said, his face flushed red: "Did Peak Master really say that to me? No, Uncle Zheng, why don't you blame me? What did I do wrong?"
Zheng Shengmo smiled and said, "Junior Brother Shi, I know that you are fighting against the beast tide, which is extremely dangerous. But I have been confronting two seventh-grade monsters and couldn't get away. I just killed them with great difficulty, and now I can come to save you."
"Elder Zheng is fighting two seventh-grade monsters alone?!"
"A seventh-grade demon beast is equivalent to a late Nascent Soul stage beast, and Elder Zheng actually killed two of them by himself!"
“This is too strong!”
"So there is a seventh-grade demon beast lurking in the dark? Without Elder Zheng, Zhenlian City would really be in danger!"
Hearing Zheng Shengmo's words, countless people in Zhenlian City were stunned. They were grateful to Zheng Shengmo and were even more shocked by his unfathomable cultivation.
Shi Ying was also stunned when he heard this, "Two seventh-grade monsters?"
The surviving disciples of Zhenyang Sect behind him also looked at each other.
Could it be that we really have wronged Uncle Zheng?
"Oh my god, this guy lied without blinking, he's even more shameless than me!"
Liusu was also stunned, her eyes wide open, muttering.
Jianyue chuckled: "If Fatty Zheng really saw two seventh-grade monsters, he would probably piss himself out of fear!"
Qin Gengyun had a cold expression on his face, and was about to jump down to question this shameless man, but Qiu Zhihe and Jianyue held him back from the left and right.
"Husband, no."
"Master, don't go."
Qiu Zhihe looked at Jianyue coldly. The woman smiled sweetly and explained:
"Madam, please calm down. I am also worried that the master will suffer. Zheng Shengmo may seem gentle, but he is actually vindictive. There is no need for the master to conflict with him."
Qiu Zhihe looked at Jianyue's hand that was holding Qin Gengyun's arm. Jianyue let go with a smile and said in a tender voice:
"Master, First Madam, Second Madam, Third Madam, it's time for us to go down too."
Qiu Zhihe nodded and said to Qin Gengyun, "Husband, don't be impulsive. It's not worth it for such a person."
For Qiu Zhihe, Zheng Shengmo must die after the beast tide.
If my husband goes to confront Zheng Shengmo at this moment, it will definitely attract his attention, which will be detrimental to my husband's safety.
It's not worth it for a dying person.
After hearing Qiu Zhihe's words, Qin Gengyun finally suppressed his anger. He was not an impulsive and brainless person, but Zheng Shengmo was too shameless to snatch the credit of a younger disciple in public.
He even had the audacity to fabricate the lie about the so-called seventh-grade demon beast. He is even more despicable than Jianyue!
The monks of Zhenlian City were welcoming Zheng Shengmo and other disciples into the city. The four of them were about to go down when a groan was heard nearby:
"Hey, Junior Sister Ye, Junior Sister Ye, are you okay?"
Jian Yue turned around and chuckled, "I forgot there was one more."
Chun Ningzhi woke up slowly, still muttering about Junior Sister Ye. Seeing Yue regain her cold look and standing in front of him, Chun Ningzhi opened his eyes and was immediately surprised:
"Junior Sister Ye, are you okay?"
Jian Yue said coldly: "Congratulations, Senior Brother Chun, your master turned the tide, killed the tiger pig, and saved our lives."
Chun Ning was startled, and struggled to get up. He then saw Zheng Shengmo walking into Zhenlian City surrounded by countless people. He was surprised again:
"Master is here? It turned out that it was Master who saved us, Junior Sister Ye, that's great!"
He was just feeling happy when he saw that Junior Sister Ye had already pulled He Zhiqiu onto her flying sword, and He Zhiqiu had skillfully put his arms around Junior Sister Ye's slender waist.
With a few whooshing sounds, several people flew down Qilian Mountain on their swords.
"???"
"Junior Sister Ye, wait for me!"
