Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

He deliberately emphasized the phrase "making a great fuss," and his gaze swept over the large boxes, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Hei Yunsha's smile froze, and he quickly waved his hand, saying, "Oh dear! Sect Leader Shen, you're too kind of me! What a fuss! I'm not worthy of such an honor! I've come here today specifically to... apologize!"

An apology? Even Shen Mo was somewhat surprised.

He guessed that the other party might have ill intentions or be testing his strength, but to start by saying "apology" was a bit too direct, wasn't it?

"An apology?" Shen Mo raised an eyebrow. "What makes you say that, Chief Black? My Qingyun Sect and your esteemed stronghold seem to have... no grudges between us, do they?"

He was just asking a question he already knew the answer to (what does debt matter?).

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Hei Yun Sha's face, but he quickly put on a smile, took a few steps forward, and lowered his voice to say:

"Sect Leader Shen, please don't make fun of me! Before... before I was blind and foolish, that's why I dared to be so insolent in front of your sect!"

"Well, as soon as I learned that Sect Leader Shen had displayed his divine power at the Flowing Cloud Water Mansion, even the Golden Core cultivators of the Blazing Sun Sect treated you with utmost respect, I... I've been so scared that I haven't slept well for several nights!"

He spoke with such sincerity that even beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Clearly, the news of the "Nascent Soul Sword Immortal manifesting" had a huge impact on him!

Black Wind Stronghold lords it over the surrounding dozens of miles, bullying small sects and rogue cultivators is one thing, but in front of a behemoth like the Blazing Sun Sect, they are not even ants!

This seemingly ordinary young man was actually able to frighten away a Golden Core cultivator from the Blazing Sun Sect!

Even if Hei Yunsha was stupid, he could guess what this meant! The Qingyun Sect was definitely an existence he couldn't afford to offend!

In addition, he was seriously injured by the stone lion at the gate when he came to confront them last time. He still feels a slight pain in the wound and is still shaken. Looking back now, he realizes that the harsh words he made before were simply courting death!

"Oh?" Shen Mo responded noncommittally, but he already knew what was going on. Sure enough! It was because of the Water Mansion!

It seems that the "show" was even more effective than he had anticipated! It not only intimidated the Blazing Sun Sect, but even local bullies like Black Wind Stronghold were terrified!

"So that's it!" Seeing Shen Mo's indifferent attitude, Hei Yun Sha became even more anxious and quickly pointed to the box behind him.

"I've prepared a small gift today, firstly to apologize for my previous offense! Secondly... I also hope to reconcile with your esteemed sect! As for... as for that small... debt from before..."

He rubbed his hands together, his face beaming with smiles. "Let's call it even! No, no, no! I never even mentioned it! Those five hundred... no! Those spirit stones, consider them my tribute to Sect Leader Shen and the esteemed masters of your sect for tea!"

Without waiting for Shen Mo's response, he shouted to his henchmen behind him, "What are you all standing there for? Quick! Bring the box up for Sect Leader Shen!"

Several henchmen quickly carried the three large wooden crates to the front of the main hall and opened the lids. Instantly, a shimmering fragrance of jewels mixed with a faint aroma of medicine wafted out!

The first box was filled to the brim with neatly stacked low-grade spirit stones; at a glance, there were at least five or six hundred of them!

The second box contained some medicinal herbs and ores of decent quality; although not particularly rare, they were still quite valuable.

Inside the third box were several low-level magical artifacts that gleamed with a cold light and a stack of talismans!

This "small gift" is a huge sum of money for the Qingyun Sect, which is currently penniless! It's enough to keep the sect running for a long time!

On the plaza, Shi Tie and the others stared wide-eyed! They had never seen so many spirit stones and treasures before.

Zhang Daniu couldn't help but swallow hard, muttering, "My goodness... how many big meat buns would that take..."

Su Xiao was also deeply shocked. As the person in charge of the sect's finances, she knew best what their current predicament was like. With these resources, the sect could definitely usher in a period of rapid development!

But she quickly suppressed her excitement and looked at Shen Mo. She knew that her senior brother, the sect leader, would never be blinded by immediate gains.

Shen Mo's gaze swept over the three boxes of gifts, his face remaining expressionless. He paused for a moment before speaking slowly, his voice flat and even: "Black Chieftain... this gift is quite substantial."

Hei Yun Sha hurriedly replied, "Not at all... It's nothing! This is just a small token of my appreciation! I only hope that Sect Leader Shen can be magnanimous and forgive my previous ignorance and offense!"

"From now on, within the surrounding area of ​​Qingyun Mountain, if there is anything you need from me, please don't hesitate to ask! My Black Wind Stronghold will certainly serve you faithfully!"

His words were an extremely humble statement, almost a declaration of surrender.

Looking at the Black Wind Stronghold Chieftain before him, who had been arrogant at first but now fawned over him, Shen Mo couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. The cultivation world truly is a place where strength reigns supreme!

Without strength, one can only be bullied; but once sufficient strength or potential is demonstrated, even a ruthless person like Hei Yun Sha will lower his "noble" head!

He didn't entirely believe Black Cloud Demon's surrender. Such a person could submit to fear today, but could betray him for personal gain tomorrow.

But right now, accepting this "goodwill" is undoubtedly the most advantageous choice for the Qingyun Sect.

Not only can it avert an imminent crisis, but it can also provide valuable start-up capital.

However, we must not let the other side think that the Qingyun Sect can be easily manipulated.

"Black Chieftain, you flatter me." Shen Mo smiled faintly, a hint of detachment and...deep meaning in his smile. "My Qingyun Sect has always been benevolent and averse to conflict. Since Black Chieftain is willing to resolve the previous misunderstandings, let's let them pass."

Upon hearing the word "past," Hei Yunsha let out a long sigh of relief, a relieved smile spreading across his face, and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's all in the past! Sect Leader Shen has a magnanimous heart, I admire you! I admire you!"

"However..." Shen Mo's tone shifted, his gaze sharpening as he looked directly into Hei Yunsha's eyes, "I hope this 'misunderstanding' is the first and... the last. Black Chieftain... do you understand what I mean?"

His voice wasn't loud, but the faint pressure it contained made Hei Yun Sha's heart skip a beat! It was as if he were being watched by a sleeping ferocious beast!

He had no doubt that if he dared to have any ill intentions again, this seemingly harmless young sect leader would definitely bring him and Black Wind Stronghold to their doom!
