"Who dares to speak such nonsense here?!"
Everyone's gaze simultaneously stabbed towards Jiang Xiu as if they were blades, especially Qin Weiping whose gaze was cold enough to frighten anyone. Dawn has arrived upon us with such great difficulty, the problem is almost going to be solved and you're trying to stir up trouble now?
Nangong Qin looked towards her husband with an extremely apologetic face. This person was brought here by her niece so this was related to her. If some incident really happens due to this, causing the family's business to collapse, it'd be difficult for her to avoid her husband's blame. She cursed Jiang Xiu in her mind. If it weren't for the sake of giving Kou'er face, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter the site.
Do you even know where you are standing? Do you know how much money this project involves? You're just a teenager and dare to interrupt so carelessly. Such nonsense. You even say that Great Master Zhang is saying utter rubbish?
Qin Weiping frowned, "This Great Master Luo whatever, what do you mean?"
Jiang Xiu said, "What's the meaning? It's the literal one."
"Did you not understand this Deity's words?"
"This man is speaking utter rubbish here."
Whoosh. Everyone caused a commotion.
You can say whatever you want behind someone's back but the person is right here. How can you say it so bluntly? Leaving aside Chairman Qin here, there are even a few officials from the City Hall present.
Aren't you really set on stirring up trouble?
Qin Weiping's complexion changed colors. He feared that Great Master Zhang would be offended and storm off in anger if he kept thinking about giving face to Nangong Kou'er. The project worth several 100 million would be certainly done for in that case.
"Who allowed a little brat like you to interrupt?"
Jiang Xiu's gaze swept across him indifferently, "Young Lady Nangong has invited this Deity and since this Deity has accepted, it's natural to give comments."
Qin Weiping glared at Nangong Kou'er due to the extreme anger he felt. Normally, he wouldn't have dared to offend this little princess of the Nangong family but today's matter was extremely important. That glare was filled with admonishment and blame.
This lead to Nangong Kou'er feeling awkward. Even though she was quite confident towards Jiang Xiu, it was somewhat hard for her to waver. She also thought that Jiang Xiu's words were too excessive as the other party was a renowned Shaman from Jiangnan province.
But Jiang Xiu remained unperturbed.
Shaman Zhang was still calm and collected as well.
"This little friend, are you also a Daoist? Let's discuss our observations then. Can this little friend point out to where I'm mistaken?"
Everyone nodded after hearing these words. They praised that such a conduct is truly worthy of Master Zhang, the top-notch Great Shaman of Jiangnan. Tsk, just look at this elegance. This is the demeanor of a Grandmaster. He's so humble towards even a teenager. Truly modest and open-minded.
The gazes towards Jiang Xiu became filled with even more contempt and loathing.
Jiang Xiu said, "How can the Dao be discussed with a person who only knows how to speak rubbish?"
Whoosh. The entire place was in an uproar.
The magnanimous Great Master has already lowered himself to your level and you actually want to step over him?
Shaman Zhang furrowed his brows, "Little friend, do you dare to reveal your Master and Sect? You actually dare to speak such nonsense?"
Jiang Xiu said, "You aren't worthy of knowing the name of this Deity's sect."
"Hah!"
Shaman Zhang couldn't suppress his rage anymore. This brat is showing contempt towards me again. Even the crowd to the side also thought that Jiang Xiu was being too excessive and condescending. "I'm not worthy? Hahaha! Too funny. This is too funny… It's no secret that the Water and Fire Mountain, Traversing Monastery, Heavenly Troops Orthodoxy, and several hidden great sects have a personal friendship with me. But today, someone actually says I, Zhang Tieshan, am not worthy of knowing the sect name?"
Jiang Xiu said, "There are several sects you're unaware of."
Shaman Zhang laughed with anger, "Today, this Master will lower myself to battle with a young brat like you!"
Hearing that there's going to be a battle, all the people present were excited.
"Great Master Zhang, teach that brat a lesson!"
"Haha. Youngster, you're screwed now. You've enraged Master Zhang, even I'd be enraged from your extreme rudeness."
"Let's watch his demise."
Jiang Xiu laughed, "What kind of battle?"
Zhang Tieshan said, "Our circle has three ways of battle. Talisman Battle, Capturing Ghosts, and Rain Summoning." He looked towards the sky, "Rain hasn't fallen over Jiang City in a long time. The weather's pretty dry so let's make it Rain Summoning."
"Yeah! Great Master Zhang, you're so thoughtful."
But everyone felt doubtful. It took time to summon rain. An autumn rain would last a few hours and sometimes it took time for it to start raining.
"Move that over!"
Zhang Tieshan pointed towards a nearby corner. A few paper ritual dolls were piled up there which ought to be used for shamanism. Jiang City had a river; hence a doll of the Dragon King's Shrine was inside it, he was pointing towards the Dragon King's Shrine.
Everyone lifted the Dragon King's Shrine and brought it over.
"I'll let you experience what is called true magic today." Zhang Tieshan sneered, "When the moment comes, this Master will see whether you can keep boasting."
As soon as he finished saying that, he started mumbling and making hand seals in the air. None of the people present could feel anything but Jiang Xiu could feel an incorporeal water origin energy being attracted by Zhang Tieshan. He raised his right hand, the sounds of a river echoing from his palm as water droplets baselessly condensed out of thin air at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Moreover, those water droplets kept expanding and soon reached the size of a fist. That dark blue sphere flickered under the sunshine, drawing attention with its sparkle as well as the sounds of a flowing river.
Utter shock. Everyone on the scene was dumbfounded.
"OMG!"
Most of them were alarmed.
In the current generation, many people had the impression that Shamans were swindlers who scammed people. They had never witnessed something like this so they were truly shocked. Qin Weiping was left speechless and even Nangong Kou'er covered her mouth.
"This water is bestowed by the Dragon King!"
"Go!"
The water sphere within Zhang Tieshan's hand seemed like it contained a gravitational force of 500 kilos. He strenuously dragged it and then caused it to explode. Just like a broken water pipe, a water pillar rose 5-6 m high from inside the water sphere, sprinkling down like a fountain.
"Wow!"
Everyone located on the scene exclaimed because of the rain drizzle.
"A miracle! It's a miracle!"
Qin Weiping shouted excitedly. Today's demonstration had completely toppled his worldview. Shamans and magic really exist.
"A Shaman, A genuine Great Shaman!"
Zhang Tieshan bellowed, pushing the water sphere towards the sky. The sprinkling water indeed appeared like the rain. He came over striding in large steps, "Brat, I, Zhang Tieshan, have mixed in this circle for 40 years. You can't even begin to imagine the magic force I hold."
"What does a kid like you understand?"
"Have you ever seen a paper bird chase an eagle?"
"Have you ever seen divine divination through fire?"
"Have you studied the 33 Basic Magic Chapters?"
"Do you even know the meaning of the words 'Myriad Dao'?"
With each question Shaman Zhang asked, he placed a step forward and had already reached in front of Jiang Xiu with his final question, he spoke with an imposing manner, "I fear you can't even spell the most basic 72 incantations and you come here to boast?"
"I, Zhang Tieshan, was taken into the mountain when I was 3 years old, acknowledging Master Void Heaven as my Master. I achieved a minor accomplishment after bitter cultivation of 20 years and then visited the Three Mountains and the Five Sacred Mountains. I've captured countless ghosts and monsters."
"1984, a Yin Soldier had borrowed the Dao and emerged out in Nanjing, granting death to all in its wake. It was me who had used my powers to draw the Yin Soldier inside the mountain and collapsed the mountain, thus preventing a large disaster."
"1994, A 1000-year-old ghost had emerged from the Ancient Heroic Mountain Emperor's grave in Xijing, which had swept past half the city, almost making Xijing into a ghost city. It was me who had sealed that 1000-year-old ghost again."
"1997, River Xiang had retreated back, a calamity impending due to a Monster Dragon of the East China Sea. It was me who had used a rare treasure to suppress it and pacify the calamity."
"…"
"I, Zhang Tieshan come from an orthodox family of practitioners and my margin of error is never greater than 50%. An immature brat like you dares to publicly humiliate this Master?"
Zhang Tieshan seethed with anger. The divine miracle he had shown just now had caused everyone there to feel deep veneration towards him.
If his words were actually true, then he was indeed a Great Shaman from an orthodox sect!
"So amazing!"
Everyone was stunned.
"Luoxia, let's leave!" Seeing Zhang Tieshan displaying his might in such a manner, even Nangong Kou'er was shocked. She was anxious that the person she'd brought would make a fool of himself and thus proposed to leave.
"Fine!" Jiang Xiu nodded.
"What? Are you afraid now? You want to escape?" Zhang Tieshan said, "Didn't you say that this Master was speaking rubbish? Didn't you say that this Master wasn't worthy of knowing your Master's and Sect's name?"
"Do you have anything left to say now?"
Qin Weiping said, "Bow your head and apologize to the Master now."
"Hehe, Hehehe…" Jiang Xiu said, "Young Lady Nangong had invited me and I had accepted her request. However, you've disrespected this Deity so there's no need for this Deity to meddle in your affairs."
"Only…"
Jiang Xiu's eyes gleamed, "I'll let you experience this Deity's abilities before leaving."
He raised his fingers, clutching a talisman between them. It was a true talisman and wasn't a currency note. He mumbled some incantations softly and soon, Dao Glyphs appeared on it along with a buzzing sound. The Dao Glyphs ignited and he threw the talisman towards the ritualistic paper doll of the Dragon King's Shrine. It was actually made of paper mache so the Dragon King's Shrine began to burn.
"Rain Summoning! Calling what you summoned as Rain Summoning is too funny!"
It sprinkled just for a minute and only over a range of 100 m, can that even be called as Rain Summoning?
As the Dragon King's Shrine burned, the sky was covered with dense black clouds, covering all the sky. Everyone was shocked as lightning and thunder appeared in the next moment. The rest is all left as a backdrop while Jiang Xiu had already begun to leave. Thunder rumbled and lightning wandered beside him, it appeared as if he was baffling God. By the time he left the construction site, a heavy downpour had already begun.
The rainwater tried to extinguish the flame on the Dragon King's Shrine crazily.
Not only the entire site, but the entire Tangqian District and even the whole of Jiang City was experiencing a heavy downpour.
Everyone was drenched in the heavy rain as they stood dumbfounded on the scene. Shaman Zhang was trembling all over while pointing towards Jiang Xiu, unable to speak anything.
"You only dare to request the Dragon King for rain, this Deity just burns his home!"
A distant voice possessing an Overlord's demeanor resounded within the site.
