"That's why everyone is willing, even at this moment, to offer up our lives without hesitation, just to protect you properly."

"It's because you're worth it."

"So what you need to do is to work hard and grow into what everyone hopes for, don't disappoint everyone's expectations."

Although, Shi Qian himself, with the Ice Sect, had joined the Ice Sect only a few days ago without much significance, at this moment, the gaze he cast towards Wang Ye still contained some anticipation.

Being stared at by Shi Qian with such a look, Wang Ye was somewhat invigorated, nodding slightly.

Powerful!

At present, the way forward is not to complain about the current situation, but to strengthen one's own power as quickly as possible.

When that time comes, when facing enemies, I won't be the one who needs protection but will be a mighty force capable of turning the tide.

While Shi Qian and Wang Ye were talking, Shi Qian was intending to say a few more words to Wang Ye, but his expression suddenly turned serious. Two words came out of his mouth, causing a murderous intent to pervade the air instantly: "They're here!"

The sky was swept over by power.

The people in the Cold Sect, after being discovered by Shi Qian, seemed to have no intention of hiding anymore.

The power from their bodies erupted unscrupulously, forming vortexes in the air as various powerful forces collided.

Even the air itself began to tremble under these waves of power.

After all, a First Grade Cultivator, even in the world of Spirit Star, is already considered strong.

In Spirit Star, a First Grade Cultivator can become an elder in a sect.

And those above, in the Unity Realm Stage, Heavenly King Realm, are already peak-level beings in Spirit Star, considered top experts, supreme masters.

Feeling the waves of berserk power surging towards him, Wang Ye spoke with a touch of lamentation in his voice as he said:

"I never thought these guys would send so many experts just to take me down. I'm... just a Fourth Grade Cultivator."

At this moment, Wang Ye didn't know whether to feel lucky or unfortunate.

Shi Qian patted Wang Ye on the shoulder, seeing that Wang Ye still had some mood for banter, understanding that Wang Ye's mindset was decent, and softly said to Wang Ye:

"All you need to do is protect yourself well in this battle, you don't need to do anything else."

"Let's fight!"

After saying this, Shi Qian enveloped the wooden boat in a force of darkness, preventing others from probing what was happening inside the wooden boat.

Outside the wooden boat.

Shi Qian, Yao Xin, and Du Jiantang hovered in the air, scrutinizing the Cold Sect elders and offerings that had arrived.

After looking them over, Shi Qian let out a disdainful sound, yet his tone didn't reveal any sense of relaxation:

"I didn't expect that your Cold Sect would truly spend this much to deal with Wang Ye."

"Five First Grade Cultivators, ten Second Grade Peak Cultivators, have you brought over half of your Cold Sect's people?"

The expressions on both Du Jiantang and Yao Xin's faces were extremely serious.

There are too many experts!

Not to mention the ten Second Grade Peak Cultivators, even the five First Grade Cultivators were difficult for them to handle.

And the three of them, at this moment, seemingly had an unspoken internal positioning with Shi Qian as the lead.

Though Shi Qian had just joined the Ice Sect as a disciple among the three of them.

But, Shi Qian had the strongest power, and in facing matters, his plans these past few days had also been the most perfect.

Thus, Yao Xin and Du Jiantang unconsciously followed Shi Qian's lead.

"Yao Xin, you handle one First Grade Cultivator, and five Second Grade Peak Cultivators, Du Jiantang, the same for you, I'll take care of the rest!"

Shi Qian's tone was quick, using Divine Sense to communicate, completing these arrangements in less than a hundredth of a second.

Shi Qian's arrangements made Yao Xin and Du Jiantang look at him with concern.

If they followed Shi Qian's plan, it meant Shi Qian would face three First Grade Cultivators alone.

While they faced more opponents, there was a vast difference in actual strength between First Grade Cultivators and Second Grade Peak Cultivators.

Comparatively, Shi Qian's challenge was indeed the greatest.

"Can you really handle it? If not, leave one to me, it's not like we don't have that kind of ability." Yao Xin said.

Du Jiantang also spoke from the side: "Assign one to me as well."

No way around it, for Shi Qian to face three First Grade Cultivators alone, it seemed too challenging to them.

"No problem."

Facing Du Jiantang and Yao Xin's willingness to help, Shi Qian just smiled slightly, rejecting their goodwill, maintaining a light smile as he spoke to Du Jiantang and Yao Xin:

"Have you forgotten? What I'm best at is hiding my strength."

With that said,

Shi Qian drew a sword, and time seemed to halt at that moment. Those Cold Sect elders and offerings rushing towards them, along with Du Jiantang and Yao Xin watching Shi Qian, all seemed to stop their thoughts and actions.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

Only the worn wooden boat, where Wang Ye was hidden in the darkness, was unaffected.

"This is..."

Wang Ye's pupils slightly contracted, sensing the power Shi Qian just used, and recalling the legendary records about Shi Heng.

No wonder, Shi Qian and Shi Heng.

Whatever the relationship between Shi Qian and Shi Heng, Wang Ye could not help but associate any anomaly from Shi Qian with Shi Heng.

Though whenever he imagined, he never thought of Shi Qian exclusively as Shi Qian.

"The power of time! The Great Dao of Time!"

Within mere moments, Wang Ye understood this.

Simultaneously,

Shi Qian took advantage of the time halt to position himself above a First-Rank Elder of the Cold Sect.
