My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 142 The Knight
After some discussion, and at Shen Changchuan's insistence,
In the end, everyone agreed to the arrangement.

"Thank you very much, Young Master Shen. If you ever need our help in the future, please just say the word. We will go through fire and water for you!"

One of the young men, with a white cloth tied around his head, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Shen Changchuan and solemnly said.

"Indeed, I, Zheng Chuxin, have no way to repay Young Master Shen's great kindness. I am but a humble servant, and I am at Young Master Shen's beck and call!"

"Me too, An Dawu!"

“Count me in. I, Hua Yongxing, am not exactly an expert, but I can do some errands. If you need anything in the future, please let me know!”

The remaining people expressed their gratitude and vowed to repay this great kindness.

Seeing this scene,
Shen Changchuan nodded slightly in agreement.

According to the information about the Three Demons of Blood Slaughter that Si Houqing had given him.

The enemies of the Blood Slaughtering Demons are clearly not limited to the people currently in their lives.

These people, having received the news, are likely not the kind of two-faced individuals who travel great distances to come here personally.

Promises made on the spot are rarely empty words.

It can be said,
This time, Shen Changchuan only needed to shout once.
They could immediately recruit them all, greatly expanding their own power.

But after thinking about it for a while,
Shen Changchuan ultimately gave up on this tempting idea.

With him in charge of Dawan Village,
They are not needed to join at the moment.

This favor,
It should be used in critical moments.

Even if not,

Once a reputation spreads, it can bring many hidden benefits to oneself and even the entire Da Wan Village.

"You're welcome, everyone."

"The corpses of the Blood Slaughtering Demons are of no use to me. Since you all need them, you may take them."

"However, these are the corpses of the Three Blood Demons. Each of you has a deep-seated hatred for them, whether you want to use their heads to appease your families or to grind their bones to ashes to vent your hatred. Your desires are different, so there must be a plan."

The bodies of three people could not possibly satisfy everyone.

Shen Changchuan then turned his gaze to Nangong Cheng, who had stood up from the beginning and had a gaunt face.

The man's aura subtly exerted a sense of pressure on him.

This person is probably at the eighth level of Qi Refining!
He is also the strongest person in the vicinity!
So he bowed to him with his hands clasped and said:

"I would like to trouble this Fellow Daoist Nangong to discuss with the other heroes how to properly dispose of the corpses of the Blood Slaughtering Three Demons."

"How dare you disobey your orders!"

Nangong Cheng's expression turned solemn, and he returned the greeting with clasped hands.

Shen Changchuan then stepped aside, letting everyone discuss the follow-up matters among themselves.

He stepped back.

They came to Si Houqing's side.

"Fellow Daoist Si."

Shen Changchuan greeted him.

Even before he arrived, he had already seen Si Houqing watching the spectacle in the crowd.

I was busy dealing with this matter at the time, so I didn't have time to greet him.

Now that the matter has been brought up, it's a good opportunity to chat with him and learn more about it.

"Brother Shen is so generous! If you were to use the corpses of the Three Blood Demons to demand a high price, making them go bankrupt and scrape together a few thousand spirit stones wouldn't be a problem. Yet you've given up such a huge profit. I, Si, am truly ashamed of my own abilities!"

Si Houqing said, half with emotion and half with amusement.

"I understand that some spirit stones can be earned and some cannot."

Upon hearing this, Shen Changchuan shook his head.

no way,
Who told him his heart wasn't completely black?

These people were almost all families slaughtered by the Three Demons of Blood Slaughter, and they harbored a deep-seated hatred for them. With just a few worthless corpses...
There's no need to force someone to empty their pockets.

Just like those grain merchants in ancient times who hoarded grain during years of famine,

Admittedly,

When there is no food in the market, one can set the price of food at an exorbitant level, forcing others to go bankrupt and squeezing out the last drop of profit.

But unfortunately,
Shen Changchuan is not cut out to be such a heartless businessman.

perhaps,

Even after transmigrating to this world, he still possessed some degree of his own morality.

Of course,
He was willing to give up the corpse of the Blood Slaughtering Three Demons.
It's because those people initially adopted a humble attitude, didn't push their luck, and didn't engage in any moral blackmail.

Therefore, Shen Changchuan was willing to do this.

If any of those people had dared to stand on the moral high ground from the beginning and engage in moral blackmail,
Shen Changchuan will show them what a heartless merchant is.

"I wonder who this Nangong Cheng is? Judging from his appearance, he is extraordinary and his strength is not weak either. He does not seem to be an ordinary person."

A person at the eighth level of Qi Refining can definitely be considered a master.

Shen Changchuan noticed him from the very beginning.

"Nangong Cheng? This one can be considered a great hero."

Si Houqing looked at the somewhat gaunt figure in the middle of the field who was discussing with a group of enemies and aggrieved parties, his voice carrying a hint of admiration.

During his subsequent account, Shen Changchuan also gained a general understanding of the person's background.

Nangong Cheng can indeed be considered a chivalrous figure among cultivators.

Many years ago, a mortal family was fortunate enough to gain access to immortality, and their children became high-ranking cultivators. Taking advantage of this, the family members amassed fertile land in the surrounding area at extremely low cost, causing many families to be ruined and destroyed.

One victim once stopped the cultivator who had luckily obtained a chance to become an immortal on the road, wanting to ask for justice. However, the cultivator had no intention of listening and casually killed the victim who blocked his way.

After that, the family's persecution of the surrounding people became increasingly cruel and brutal, to the point that they kept hunting dogs and wild beasts to bite people, forcing the surrounding people to leave.

At the time, Nangong Cheng was just passing through that place when he heard about this from a tavern.

No one asked him for anything, and there was nothing of interest involved.

Nangong Cheng spent a considerable amount of time and effort searching for some surviving victims who had been left on the streets. He stormed the cultivator's house, killed the evil cultivator and his family, and sought justice for them.

This,

It was just one of the many chivalrous deeds he had done.

To eliminate violence and maintain order,

Helping those in distress and need.

Perhaps in this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, many things are beyond the control of Nangong Cheng, a mere Qi Refining Stage 8 cultivator.

But as long as he encounters such a situation and has the ability to handle it, he never hesitates to go through the trouble of upholding justice!
Such people are undoubtedly rare in the world of cultivation.

No one knows why he did that.
But he did it anyway.

Also because of this,

Nangong City has a very good reputation.

Almost everyone who hears about him gives him a thumbs up.

"I see. Then this hero, Nangong, is indeed worthy of respect."

After listening to Si Houqing's account, Shen Changchuan's expression also became somewhat solemn.

He admitted he couldn't do that.

But that doesn't stop him from admiring such people.

after all,

No one stays on top forever.

When someone encounters unfair treatment, they will ultimately hope to meet a just person who will uphold justice for them.
