Chapter 337: 198. Redefine what it means to be a Demon Cultivator

“Do all of you fellow Daoists always speak to people in this manner?” Tan Shuchang asked a question that had puzzled him for a long time. When he met these plainly dressed individuals in Shenxu Heaven, he could understand why they would be arrogant and conceited, assuming they had come from the Land of the Four Pillars to the Mortal Realm.

It’s like a person from a super-wealthy and prosperous area visiting a relatively ordinary region, they are bound to look down on it somewhat.

But now, here he was in the Land of the Four Pillars too! And he was at the stage of the Two Proofs Combined Path!

Why then did these Cultivators, who had only achieved the Single Proof of Longevity, dare to be so audacious?

Even in Shenxu Heaven, among those people, there were one or two who initially felt unsettled, but now these few behaved as if they had him completely under their thumb.

They were utterly unrestrained!

This made Tan Shuchang quite baffled.

“What? Are you dissatisfied with this?” Upon hearing Tan Shuchang ask such a question, these people all burst into laughter.

“Hmm.” Tan Shuchang nodded.

Of course, he was dissatisfied!

To see Tan Shuchang nodding, the few were taken aback, because whenever they had asked this in the past, the responses were either ingratiating flattery or profuse apologies accompanied by smiles and explanations.

This was the first time someone had directly admitted it like the man before them.

“Then, how about we address you as a fellow Daoist? This fellow Daoist, it’s true that you have achieved the Two Proofs, but you must understand what your status is and what ours is!” said one of them, smiling as he spoke to Tan Shuchang.

Although he was smiling while speaking, the warning in his words was already very clear.

“If that’s the case, then I can only ask you few fellow Daoists to be on your way.” Tan Shuchang replied with a smile, and as his words fell, the environment around them suddenly changed.

Mountains covered in blooming flowers surrounded these individuals entirely.

This was one of Tan Shuchang’s insights from comprehending the “Twenty-Four Seasons,” drawing on Gong Jing’er’s heavenly command powers to create a “Spring Flower Painting Scene” capable of sealing and trapping.

Seeing this transformation, the group’s expressions changed slightly, aware of the murderous intent hidden within Tan Shuchang’s actions.

“You dare?”

“At this stage, why do you think I would not dare?” The smile remained on Tan Shuchang’s face.

“Just because of a little disagreement in words, you want to make a move against us?” Feeling the pressure from Tan Shuchang, and sensing the omnipresent locking of their auras, the group finally tried to reason with Tan Shuchang.

“I am a Demon Cultivator!” Tan Shuchang responded.

“What about being a Demon Cultivator?” One of them said instinctively, not yet fully grasping the implications.

“As a Demon Cultivator, it seems reasonable for me to kill you, doesn’t it?” Tan Shuchang stated seriously, his expression taking on a grave air.

Clearly, he genuinely believed what he was saying.

The people from Bijing Heavenly Authority: “…”

Reasonable my foot!

Thus, quickly grasping the ruthlessness of a Demon Cultivator, they hastily said, “Fellow Daoist, please don’t act rashly! Think of your family, your sect, your friends, your impulsiveness not only might lead to your own death but also bring trouble to them!”

This was their usual and invariably effective tactic.

But this time they miscalculated.

“I am a Demon Cultivator.” Tan Shuchang simply repeated the same answer and showed no intention of dispersing the illusion.

“So Demon Cultivators don’t have family, friends, or sects?” The few couldn’t help but retort.

“Aren’t you fellows joking? What self-respecting Demon Cultivator has family, friends, or a sect? The first thing I did when I started my cultivation was to send my master on his way,” said Tan Shuchang with utter seriousness.

Upon hearing this, the group was stunned, but they immediately began to feel terror.

After all, their initial arrogance towards Tan Shuchang was not based on their strength but on their status! Now that they realized their status availed them nothing, how could they maintain their superior attitude in the face of a cultivator who had attained the Two Proofs Combined Path?

Let alone a superior attitude, they couldn’t even manage one of composure.

“Dao Brother, stay calm! Please don’t do anything rash!” The leader among them hastily said. No one is unafraid of death, and cultivators are no exception. As such, even the way they addressed Tan Shuchang changed from “fellow Daoist” to “Dao Brother.”

“Tan Someone has not been impulsive; every decision I’ve made has been thoroughly considered. To ease your minds, I believe I am quite skilled in handling post-killing situations, so you needn’t worry about having a place to rest after death.” This time, Tan Shuchang also changed the way he referred to himself.

And as the group listened to Tan Shuchang’s change in address, they were undoubtedly petrified.

Because this implied he was going to kill to silence them!

“You can’t do this, Dao Brother! We come from the lineage under Bijing Heavenly Authority. If a True Immortal takes action to divine our fate, our deaths here will certainly be known! And as long as you leave some traces in the past, you will undoubtedly be found! Here, we can swear on Bijing Heavenly Authority’s name, that from now on, we will never trouble you again,” they said fervently, their survival instincts exceedingly strong at that moment.

“So the divination powers of a True Immortal can even reach this level; thank you for informing me, fellow Daoists. However, you needn’t worry about Tan Someone’s safety. I ascended from the Mortal Realm to find myself here quite inexplicably. Having left no traces in the past, I presume even a True Immortal would not be able to find Tan Someone.”
