Few people other than Elder Sizhi and Dean Sixin could consciously stand behind them.
It’s not easy to guess wrong.
"Shen Han, this is the Vice Sect Leader of our Five Immortals City.
He came specifically today to see you."
Elder Sizhi smiled and stepped forward for the introduction.
Upon hearing this, Shen Han immediately saluted and paid his respects to the Vice Sect Leader.
Strong cultivators in the new system often conceal their aura once they’ve reached a certain level of power.
Shen Han could sense that the Vice Sect Leader before him was very strong; just a slight hint of his aura overshadowed someone as powerful as Luo Changping of the Second Grade Immortal Realm.
In this Southern Heaven Continent, First Grade strength is no longer unattainable.
In fact, the Vice Sect Leader in front of him might even possess First Grade comparable strength, or possibly even surpass it.
"I’ve been a guest at other sects previously and unexpectedly heard rumors about the disciples of Five Immortals City while there.
I heard you practice the Old Method, do you have any thoughts of transitioning to a new cultivation system?"
The Vice Sect Leader began to speak.
His words carried a sense of indifference, mingled with a somewhat heavy pressure.
Shen Han raised his head slightly and still gave the same reply.
"My talent in the new system pales compared to my peers, so I truly lack the courage to switch my cultivation system.
Fortunately, I have some talent in the training and experience of the Old Method..."
Upon hearing Shen Han’s words, the Vice Sect Leader immediately waved his hand, telling Shen Han there’s no need to continue talking.
This Vice Sect Leader didn’t seem to have much leisure to converse.
After a brief glance and a few casual words, he showed no interest in continuing the conversation.
"Sixin, Sizhi.
Are you two siblings sure you’ve thought through and understood what you’re doing?
Tang Chenyang has already gone to Qianjin Hall now, encountering a disciple who has unlocked the seven shackles is rare.
To let a genius disciple of our sect go like this.
To push him to other sects, are you two sure you’ve thought it through?"
In a single speech, the Vice Sect Leader said "sure" twice.
It’s clear that he does not agree with the decision made by Elder Sizhi and Dean Sixin.
"Apart from Tang Chenyang, I also heard that the child Qianmu Fan has grievances with this matter.
When I returned yesterday, the Wen Family discussed this with me.
They said that the child Qianmu Fan has strong opinions against you taking Shen Han as a Direct Disciple.
He holds grievances against our Five Immortals City.
Sixin, as the Dean of the sect, you should find a way to resolve this matter."
The Vice Sect Leader’s tone remained calm, devoid of oppressive intent.
However, the meaning in his words was clear.
He was indeed applying pressure on them.
"Think for yourselves, how many geniuses in our Five Immortals City have unlocked the seven shackles?
By hurting two at once, other disciples in the sect might become concerned.
If word gets out, our reputation won’t be favorable.
Other sects, whether large or small, have enough respect for geniuses.
Acting as we do only sends negative messages to the outside world."
Speaking, the Vice Sect Leader also glanced at the expressions of Elder Sizhi and Dean Sixin.
Seeing the two frowning without replying, he frowned even more.
After hesitating for a moment, he continued on.
"Currently, the Tang Family is already speaking out against our Five Immortals City.
Their words are intense, and the blame is directed squarely at you siblings.
This time, we do need to come up with some response for the outside world."
Shen Han listened to this and understood.
Tang Chenyang’s departure has caused some of the higher-ups at Five Immortals City to regret their decision.
Coupled with Qianmu Fan’s dissatisfaction, two geniuses who’ve unlocked the seven shackles are having issues one after another.
It’s only natural for the upper echelons of the sect to start paying attention.
