"Yes, Elder Shi, you might as well give in," Clan Leader Wu advised.
"Heh, if I give in, Liao Yangmai won't let me off the hook. Since that's the case, why should I? Tomorrow, the Saint Witch Sect Leader will arrive. Once I kill Mr. Jiang, let's see how Liao Yangmai can be so proud then." Shi Tao Di had no choice but to place his last hope on the Saint Witch Sect Leader.
"Sigh!" The Wu Family and Ma Clan Leader shook their heads and sighed. They were not willing to stir up trouble anymore. If the elders from the Holy Witch Cult had shown any strength today, they might have believed that the Saint Witch Sect Leader could be a match for Jiang Chen. However, just moments ago, Zou Konghu and the others had no power to retaliate against Jiang Chen, which made them doubt the strength of the Saint Witch Sect Leader.
Inside the tavern, silence returned. Zeng Xianyi looked very pleased; Jiang Chen had not disappointed him. This trip to Xiangxi was sure to succeed.
"Mr. Jiang, is my handling of this matter acceptable?" Liao Yangmai asked cautiously as he took a seat.
"This little matter is nothing for me to worry about. Now, let's continue drinking," Jiang Chen replied with a smile, not concerned about the issue.
Liao Yangmai relaxed and accompanied Jiang Chen in drinking.
However, the mood among everyone was not as light as before.
"Mr. Jiang, you truly are remarkable! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such a young master exists in Huaxia. Your techniques don't seem like martial arts; they resemble those of the Daoist Sect. Could it be that you are from the Daoist Sect?" Li Yang asked respectfully.
"Old Li, just consider me one of the Xianmen," Jiang Chen chuckled.
"Xianmen? Uh, Mr. Jiang's techniques are incredibly marvelous; saying you are from Xianmen wouldn't be an exaggeration," Li Yang exclaimed in surprise before laughing heartily. Since Jiang Chen was unwilling to elaborate, he tactfully chose not to press further. As for the mention of Xianmen, everyone simply laughed it off without taking it seriously.
In this world, there existed martial arts, Witch Clans, Buddhism, Daoist Sects, and even Xuanmen mysteries. However, the concept of Xianmen was too ethereal and abstract for people to accept. Even seasoned individuals like Li Yang and Zeng Xianyi found it hard to believe in tales of immortals.
"Old Li, Zeng Lao, don't you believe there is Xianmen in this world?" Seeing everyone's astonishment but also their skepticism written on their faces, Jiang Chen seized the opportunity to ask.
The Mountain and Sea Secret Realm could actually be equated to a Xiu Xian World for Earth. Once the gate to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm opens in the future, it would be akin to opening Xianmen; the elusive tales of the immortal realm would become reality. If figures like Zeng Xianyi and Li Yang did not believe in the legends of Xianmen, ordinary people would surely find it even harder to believe.
Since he was sitting with official bigwigs like Zeng Xianyi and Li Yang discussing this topic, Jiang Chen decided to extend the conversation a bit further and give them a lesson to broaden their horizons.
After all, when the gate to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm opens, it would primarily rely on official channels to reassure the public.
Reassuring work was best left to officials.
Seeing Jiang Chen suddenly pose such a question caught Zeng Xianyi and Li Yang off guard. Li Yang thought Jiang Chen was joking and chuckled: "Mr. Jiang, I actually don't believe in tales of immortals; however, Huaxia is full of hidden talents and extraordinary events—so I do believe in those."
"You may not believe in tales of immortals, but I have unwavering faith in them," Jiang Chen said firmly.
