Shen Hanzhi used to be untouchable, invincible in battle. There was nowhere in the Three Realms and Four Continents he couldn't go, and no one he wouldn't dare provoke. But after becoming a sect leader and taking on disciples, he never got to enjoy a good fight again.
"As the head of the immortal sects, the Sect Leader mustn't take risks." "As an Immortal Venerable and a teacher, you must set a good example. You mustn't slack off or act recklessly..."
He mustn't! He mustn't do any of the things he wanted to do!
Gradually, he became someone he didn't recognize: mild-mannered and gentle, always weighing every option... burdened with all kinds of chronic ailments.
One day, he heard some voices:
"I don't get it. Why did Shen Hanzhi agree to become sect leader in the first place? He should've pursued the Great Dao and ascended on the spot instead of playing mother hen to all these bloodsuckers beneath him."
"Did the protagonist halo blind Zhi-Zhi? Out of all those disciples, he just had to pick a selfish phoenix man. He's definitely going to get leeched dry later."
"Am I the only one who thinks Zhi-Zhi and the Demon Lord have ship potential? Who gets the appeal of sworn enemies with conflicting ideals? He should ditch that ramshackle sect and roam the world with the Demon Lord already."
Shen Hanzhi: Phoenix man? Since when was there a new race in the Three Realms and Four Continents?
