"The demon clan beasts are really cunning. Although they seem to be flustered and exasperated, in reality, they are doing it on purpose. On one hand, they are forcing the heaven's gift brat to prove himself, and on the other hand, they are not forgetting to discredit the righteous path."

Faced with this demon clan animal's aggressive nature, this gifted boy, on one hand, denied that he was Shentu Shun, and on the other hand, deliberately made everyone think that this demon clan animal was related to Shentu Shun. It may seem weak, but in reality, it is soft, but it is strong.

Some people thought that the Heaven's Gift was for revenge against the Monster King, but he himself didn't think that it was so. He wanted to slander the Monster King as being related to Shentu Shun, and he just wanted to tell the Monster King that even though he didn't have any cultivation, he wasn't someone anyone could casually take care of.

After all, the cultivation level of the Demon King was comparable to a human cultivator in the tribulation level. There were plenty of people who could not see through the Demon King's identity, and there were quite a few who could not find any clues.

Even cultivators couldn't see through it. In their eyes, Tian Ci was only a mortal and they couldn't see through it either. However, that didn't affect their appreciation of Tian Ci's courage to fight back against the demon king.

"Sigh, what a pity. This child is Shentu Shun. Even if he isn't Shentu Shun, he is still just a mortal. With his courage, he doesn't fear power. Even if he only has low-level spiritual roots, I will still accept him as my disciple."

"This child came to the Hollow Jade Sect to take him as a disciple. If he wasn't Shentu Shun, the Hollow Jade Sect would have taken him in as a disciple for the sake of that beast. Unfortunately, it's not fated for this old man."

"How can this child be so bold? As long as he isn't Shentu Shun, even if he doesn't have a spirit root or spirit beast to accompany him, as long as he is willing to join my sect, my sect will definitely accept him as a disciple."

"If this child really came to the Hollow Jade Sect to be their disciple, it would be really lucky. Sigh, why didn't you let me meet him first? What a pity!"

In the cruel world of cultivation, strength was everything. There was no strength, only ants, and not everyone appreciated the courage bestowed by heaven. Most rogue cultivators secretly sneered, but heaven's blessing did not care about the attitude of others, only whether or not his goal had been achieved.

"Haha, Tian Ci, you've misunderstood. Fellow daoists here all know that the Shentu Clan has been annihilated, and only Shentu Shun and Shentu Changsheng survived. This old man has cultivated for thousands of years, so naturally, I cannot be Shentu Shentu's relative."

The Shentu Clan had been exterminated miserably, and everyone knew that it was the doing of the demi-humans. Although the humans who participated in it had already been exonerated, they were still worried that after Shentu Shentu Shun and Shentu Changsheng's cultivation levels improved, they would take revenge for the clan and settle the scores of the people who participated in it.

Thus, in the thirteen years since the Shentu Clan was exterminated, the demon beasts and human cultivators who had participated in this were exterminated in order to eliminate the roots. As long as they had a relationship with Shentu Shentu Shun and Shentu Changsheng, even if it was just their name, those without a strong background would all be exterminated by the humans and demons.

Being slandered by a heaven's gift, a heaven's gift was only a mortal. The Monster King could completely ignore a heaven's gift, but it could not ignore others.

Although the Monster King seemed to be speaking to Tian Ci, it was actually explaining to the crowd that it had nothing to do with Shentu Shun. outsiders could tell that, but so could Tian Ci.

With regards to his identity, even Tian Ci was confused as to whether it was Shentu Shun or not. Everyone was only guessing, and he was only guessing. To say that he was not Shentu Shun was not a lie without knowing his identity.

The demon king's explanation had nothing to do with Shentu Shun. This was probably what everyone wanted, but it wasn't an explanation that Tian Long wanted. Since this demon king didn't think he could threaten it, Tian Ci wouldn't let it go.

"Oh, so that's the case. I thought you were Shentu Shun's master!"

Tian Ci's answer was very clever. It seemed to agree with the Monster King's explanation, but in reality, she did not want the Monster King to get rid of Shentu Shun.

At first, the Monster King thought that the God's Gift was just a powerless mortal that could control anything. However, after seeing how sinister the God's Gift was, it understood that it had underestimated it. If it wasn't at the Hollow Jade Sect, it could destroy the God's Gift in minutes.

"Nothing. This old man has never seen Shentu Shun before, how could he be Shentu Shun's master?"

"Oh, that is to say, senior has never seen Shentu Shun before!"

"Of course not!"

His goal was already achieved, should he press on, or should he let this senior go and not make things difficult for him?

There were more than a hundred chairs in the square, and the fact that the other party was able to sit on one of them showed that he was of great origins and that he was not a fool. It was obvious that he had not yet joined the Hollow Jade Sect, not just for himself, but also for the safety of Little Dan and Brother Huo Luan.

It was better to have another friend than to have another enemy. Even if he could not become friends, he could not make enemies for himself. He could only feel wronged and give this senior a way out.

"Senior, if you want to see Shentu Shun's feelings, junior can understand, junior is not lying, and I hope senior does not misunderstand. If junior was being rash just now, junior knows his wrongs, I hope senior will not take offense, and do not take it to heart!"

The Demon King secretly let out a sigh of relief. As a senior, he naturally wasn't willing to apologize to a mortal, so he no longer dared to be overbearing.

A mere mortal dared to deliberately slander and frame a Demon King (a tribulation cultivator). No matter where, there would always be a dead end.

Some people thought that the reason for his audacity was because of the Hollow Jade Sect, that he was reckless and did not know what to do. There were also some people who thought that he was courageous and knowledgeable, and that his courage was commendable.

He clearly had the absolute advantage, allowing him to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take revenge on the Monster King. Yet, Tian Ci chose to make peace, and wronged herself by giving the other party a way out.

"I originally thought that this kid relied on the Hollow Jade Sect's support to act smart and put on a show of might. I never thought that this brat really has some intelligence!"

"This kid is smart, I almost underestimated him!"

In front of cultivators, almost all mortals were subservient and submissive. As for Tian Ci, she quickly adapted to the avaricious gazes of the crowd and was no longer afraid, and dealt with the matter of the Monster King framing him. She was extremely generous and proper, making it impossible for anyone to say that many of the people who looked down on and looked down on Tian Ci had stopped their thoughts of contempt.

"Little fellow, you have guts, you are always so generous, you are about to stir up chaos in this world, if you train a little, you might not be able to lead troops to war, but you can also come up with some ideas, and protect a sect that can create chaos in this world, that is not impossible. If this child does not belong to the Hollow Jade Sect, then this old man will definitely think of a way to accept you as a disciple."

In his previous life, all the small sects and small sects had almost completely disappeared into the dust of time. The sects that were able to preserve less than 1% of their sects and were able to stand tall in the middle of war were sects that either had heaven-defying cultivators or were seeking life for their sects.

In the eyes of the crowd, a child was just a child, but a child knew how to borrow power from others. If the sect expended all of its resources to nurture a child, then a child might be able to become a schemer in less than a hundred years.

Thus, when the Sect Leaders and Sect Elders of the small sects and sects that were praising Tian Ci were not Shentu Shun, they started to have other thoughts.

The Five Great Immortal Sects had deep resources, and were confident that they could stand tall in this chaotic world. The people from the Five Great Immortal Sects didn't care about what the smaller sects or sects thought.

"This little guy knows how to talk. If he can become my sect's elder, then in the future when he encounters hard work like today, the sect won't have to worry about me!"

"This won't do. Wait until this little guy proves his identity. If he isn't Shentu Shun, then I must think of a way to have him become my disciple!"

Duo Ling had always been a good intonator and didn't care about the sect's matters, but whenever the sect ran into a problem, he would be pulled out to deal with it. As time passed, as long as the Cracking Sky Sect didn't want to interfere, they would always be able to see him, and as long as something big happened, as soon as someone saw him, they would understand the Cracking Sky Sect's attitude, and this time was no exception.

After confirming the identity of the Demon King, the Cracking Sky Sect made their stance clear. Duo Ling only wanted to watch the show, but after seeing that the Demon King had been dealt with, his mind became excited.

"Sigh, it's too similar. It's a pity that regardless of whether this child is Shentu Shun or not, if the Hollow Jade Sect is unable to protect him, he will still die."

Yu Zijun and Nong Jiexi and his wife shared a mutual understanding. They only needed to look at each other for a moment to understand what the other was thinking. The scene of the Heavenly Gift dealing with the Demon King had caused them to recall some things from the past at the same time.

That year, they received orders from the sect to investigate the cause of the phenomenon. A small mountain village was surrounded by many demon beasts, and under the pressure of several great demon kings and several great experts, there was a person who was fearless against all of the invaders. Similarly, those great demon kings were forced to submit, but they were still unable to protect the entire family.

Their years were similar, but their years were different as well. They were separated by thirteen years, yet they saw this scene once again. It was then that the tragedy that happened that happened once more.

Thirteen years ago, when faced with the many Monstrous Beasts, they could not protect the Shentu family and they could only watch as the tragedy happened. Today, several tens of thousands of people gathered in the Void Jade Sect because of the heavens' gift, but they were still powerless.

Compared to Duo Ling's care and Yu Zijun's and Nong Xiangrou's lamentation, Hong Tao did not care whether the Heaven's Gift was Shentu Shun or not. He was only admiring the Heaven's Gift.

"This child came to the Hollow Jade Sect most likely to take him as a disciple. With that demonic beast following him, there's no problem if he wants to enter the sect."

"This child has guts, knowledge, and intelligence. It's a pity that he lacked the talent to cultivate, and also chose the wrong sect. If he was willing to join the Demon God's Sect, perhaps in a few hundred years or a thousand years, he would become the second Zhongli Wentian."

If the Demon God's Sect cultivators hiding in the crowd heard Hong Tao's thoughts, they would definitely agree with his thoughts.
