“This old woman greets Sect Master Shen.”

Only once the Baohua Sect had taken every cultivator into its Dao-merging treasured site did the Baohua Sect Master bow again, properly this time.

There were gaps among Dao-merging cultivators too. Having seen that scene with her own eyes, she now gave Shen Yi the same respect she gave true Heaven Realm experts like Ye Jiu and Ji Jingxi.

No wonder the Seven still had strength to spare to help the Baohua Sect.

Even after the South Dragon Palace had brought in the Qi family eldest, it was actually still one short in Heaven Realm experts.

No wonder the South Dragon Palace had gone this mad.

Even she, on learning the other side had a young prodigy growing this fast, would probably have lost sleep and appetite.

How long your head stayed on your neck depended on when this young man had his next epiphany. How could those proud dragons ever accept a thing like that?

Seeing Shen Yi, the Baohua Sect Master found her many doubts suddenly cleared up.

She quickly explained Nanhong's present situation to Shen Yi.

The two Sect Masters of the Mountain-Moving Sect added what they could. “Sect Master Shen, if this is going to be resolved smoothly, I'm afraid you'll have to decide early what to give up.”

To old Huang, Shen Yi's strength was terrifying but still within what he'd expected… More precisely, after everything that had happened before, even if Sect Master Shen charged into the water right now and butchered the South Dragon King, he might be shocked, but he'd probably also think it made perfect sense.

But some things couldn't be solved by strength alone.

At least, not by Sect Master Shen's present strength.

Heaven Realm experts might look down on the whole world, but to shelter all of Nanhong single-handed was a bit of a fantasy.

Those tiny dependent powers, faced with a Dao-merging great demon—never mind making a last stand, if they lasted ten breaths it would only be because the demon wasn't hungry enough.

Maybe all of the Nanhong Seven together…
