Chapter 341: Admit Defeat (1)

“Was Shan Liangshan defeated?”
Shan Qingzheng’s hand that was holding the teacup trembled slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
“That’s right.”
Shan Qixing sighed deeply. There was still a trace of shock on his face as if he hadn’t completely digested the news he had just received.
“I heard from Liangshan that Lin Shen used a powerful technique that looks like a clone. He defeated Liangshan in just ten rounds!”
Shan Qingzheng put down his teacup. His expression was so dark that it looked like a stormy night.
Shan Jingchun’s defeat had already made the family head very dissatisfied. To ensure that Shan Liangshan could defeat Lin Shen, they risked the family’s reputation and secretly gave Shan Liangshan many powerful Dharma treasures.
Logically speaking, with his cultivation level and all the Dharma treasures, Shan Liangshan shouldn’t have lost to Lin Shen.
But it just happened!
How strong was that junior called Lin Shen?
Shan Qingzheng’s expression was a little ugly.
They had paid so much but still couldn’t take back Gale Island. Even as an Elder, he would definitely be reprimanded by the family head.
More importantly, even Shan Liangshan had lost. Who among the younger generation in the family could defeat Lin Shen?
They couldn’t possibly send the veteran cultivators in the family who had condensed the Mystic Light Seed to attack, right?
The Shan family couldn’t afford the humiliation of bullying the weak.
Even if they were really willing to do this, the Fallen Sword Peak would definitely not stand by as Lin Shen was bullied.
At this point, it was already wishful thinking to take back Gale Island from Lin Shen through gambling competitions.
Thinking of this, Shan Qingzheng couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
Shan Qixing carefully studied his expression and said tentatively, “Why don’t we let Weifeng do it? With his strength, he should have a high chance of defeating Lin Shen!”
Shan Qingzheng rejected it without even thinking.
“No, the Weifeng is currently in seclusion to cultivate the Dark North Sword Scripture. It’s a critical moment in his comprehension. We can’t disturb him now.”
After a pause, Shan Qingzheng sighed again.
“Moreover, if the Weifeng makes a move, we’ll probably be criticized for bullying the weak. The Falling Sword Peak will definitely take action.”
Apart from that, Shan Qingzheng actually had another concern.
Lin Shen’s strength was unfathomable. Even now, he couldn’t see through the young man’s true strength. If even the Shan Weifeng was defeated, the Shan family’s reputation would definitely be damaged.
On the contrary, Lin Shen’s reputation would definitely far exceed the past.
Even the master-disciple lineage would become much more famous.
This was something he would never allow to happen!
“Then are we really going to exchange the Star Sword Pill for Gale Island?”
Shan Qixing frowned and looked a little unwilling.
In order to exchange for the Star Sword Pill, the Shan family had given away ten profound armaments, including a supreme-grade profound armament that had already developed traces of spirituality and was only a step away from becoming a spirit weapon!
They had paid a huge price to obtain the Star Sword Pill. How could they be willing to give it to the master-disciple lineage?
“The resources we invested on Gale Island are more valuable than the Star Sword Pill. We can’t let the island fall into the hands of the master-disciple lineage.” Shan Qingzheng shook his head.
In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that the master-disciple lineage didn’t want to completely fall out with the Shan family, it would be hard to say if they could ever get Gale Island back.
“What about Weifeng? The Star Sword Pill was meant for him.”
“I’ll personally explain to him. In three months, the Star Sect will open its doors again. At that time, the family will exchange for another sword pill.”
Although he said that, Shan Qingzheng still felt sorry for their loss.
Profound armaments weren’t something one could find in a street market. No matter how wealthy the Shan family was, they couldn’t just come up with a large number of profound armaments to exchange for the Star Sword Pill. This time, it really cost them greatly.
Shan Qixing also realized it and couldn’t help but sigh.
Before this, he couldn’t imagine that the Shan family would be so overwrought by a young man in his early twenties.
Perhaps part of the reason was that Yu Siyu was behind Lin Shen, but the main reason was because of Lin Shen’s extraordinary aptitude and astonishing strength.
He had just advanced to a cultivator master and was already able to defeat Shan Jingchun and Shan Liangshan. What would happen in a few years?
Thinking of this, Shan Qixing couldn’t help but feel a little resentful toward Shan Wenqi.
If Shan Wenqi hadn’t rashly provoked Lin Shen and even used Gale Island as a bet, there wouldn’t be so much trouble now.
“Go, settle this matter as soon as possible and take back the island to prevent any accidents from happening.” Shan Qingzheng waved his hand with disinterest.
Shan Qixing lowered his head slightly and cupped his hands.
After defeating Shan Liangshan, Lin Shen knew that the Shan Family wouldn’t be stupid enough to send someone over to get defeated again.
He was right.
Two days later, the Shan family sent people to Goldstream Isle with the Star Sword Pill and five bottles of Nine Cauldron Pills.
Looking at the sword pill and the Nine Cauldron Pills in front of him, Lin Shen couldn’t help but feel amazed.
It was better to gamble and compete. Resources came quickly that way.
It was a pity that the Shan family was unwilling to continue competing with him. Otherwise, if he obtained more Nine Cauldron Pills, it might be enough for him to break through to the middle phase of the Spirit Nurturing Stage.
Gale Island wasn’t of much use to Lin Shen. It was undoubtedly worth it to exchange for a precious Star Sword Pill and ten bottles of Nine Cauldron Pills.
Lin Shen was in a good mood. He picked up the Star Sword Pill and examined it carefully.
The sword pill was the size of a fist and was surrounded by spiritual essence and stardust.
If one felt it carefully, one could also feel the vitality contained in it. There was a faint sound of breathing.
Sword pills were also divided into Five Elements and Yin and Yang.
Only by refining a sword pill of the same element could one maximize their strength.
However, the Star Sword Pill was different. It didn’t belong to any element..
