Just as the graceful Kunlun Snow Woman found Qian Shanxue's clumsiness frustrating, at the sa ti, in the Kunlun Sword Sect a hundred miles away within the Kunlun Mountains, in the back quarters.
"The gift prepared for the Snow Woman this year should be more lavish. At the sa ti, I need you to tell the Snow Woman that there is a King of Demons in the world, nad Shen Qiang, who claims that even the Snow Woman can only submit before him. No, submission might not be clear enough, kneeling, yes, use that word."
Upon hearing the Kunlun Sword Sect's Sect Leader say this, the two disciples standing by appeared troubled.
"Sect Leader, this doesn't seem right. If the Snow Woman finds out we are deceiving her, then..."
Kunlun Sword Sect's Sect Leader gazed at them coldly and said, "You have a point. Then add this: Shen Qiang is naturally deceitful and malevolent, loves to deny what he's said, if the Snow Woman asks him directly, he certainly won't admit it. Yes, a scoundrel, deceitful and venomous, despising the Snow Woman. That should do. When you give the gift, improvise, just make sure she understands. If she gets angry and descends the mountain to find Shen Qiang's trouble, I will be pleased."
Hearing this, the two disciples looked at each other in dismay.
"Go, get it done, I won't treat you poorly."
Upon hearing this, the two disciples quickly responded, "Rest assured, Sect Leader, we will accomplish this task."
The Kunlun Sword Sect's Sect Leader nodded and then closed his eyes to rest.
The two disciples retreated out of the room, turning away only after they had reached the doorway.
At this ti, Kunlun was in the midst of winter, the black snow night. The two disciples circled around the main hall, over the back mountain, and had just reached a side path on the back mountain when they imdiately saw an old man with white hair, standing quietly by the roadside.
As their flashlight passed over him, the two of them saw his face clearly and fell to their knees with a thud.
"Kunlun disciples pay respects to the Martial Granduncle, Immortal!"
Upon hearing this, the old man sighed slightly and said, "Do not go sowing discord before the Snow Woman. She is simply inexperienced in worldly matters, but she is not foolish. Do not bring calamity to Kunlun. As for your Sect Leader, I will have a word with him. This year's gift can be sumptuous; when you reach the Snow Woman Cliff, simply say it is a gift from Kunlun disciples."
"Thank you, Martial Granduncle!"
The two disciples replied respectfully.
"You may leave."
Exceptionally respectful, the two disciples retreated, walking backward for nearly a hundred yards before turning.
And after they left, the old man's ears suddenly twitched slightly, and his face instantly darkened.
"Alas, this task is entrusted to the wrong person! Perhaps it's ti for a change in the Kunlun Sect Leader."
With the word dropping, the old man's figure vanished with the wind.
And just as the old man's figure disappeared, within the rear quarters of the Kunlun Sword Sect, in the Sect Leader's residence.
The Kunlun Sword Sect's Sect Leader, eyes full of excitent, looked at the computer and said thrillingly, "Indeed, hard work pays off, a handso reward will always attract a brave man. I never thought that after waiting so long, soone would finally take on the task of killing Shen Qiang."
Standing aside, the little daotong frowned slightly, "Shen Qiang is not the sa as before, surrounded by powerful people. His own cultivation has also reached the Middle Realm of Yang God. Killing Shen Qiang is absolutely not an easy task."
Upon hearing this, the Kunlun Sword Sect's Sect Leader's eyes flashed with a cold gleam and said, "Yes, Shen Qiang is not easy to kill, but don't forget, this world is vast, filled with many capable people. Many cultivators rely pursue immortality."
"They usually practice cultivation diligently, possessing imnse cultivation power, yet they remain unknown to others. Like hunters, they hide in the shadows, only acting at the right ti, using iron-fisted tactics to acquire resources."
The little daotong hesitated slightly, "Sect Leader, I still feel that having the Snow Woman take action might be more secure."
"It's alright," responded the Kunlun Sword Sect's Sect Leader, "The task has already been taken, which ans the bounty hunter platform believes the person who took the task is capable of killing Shen Qiang. Even if Shen Qiang isn't killed in the end, others will try. As long as our bounty is not withdrawn, eventually, these people will take his life."
Gazing fiercely at the computer, the Kunlun Sword Sect's Sect Leader said coldly, "What's more, the Snow Woman's behavior is extrely peculiar. Unless we design a way to trick Shen Qiang into coming to Kunlun, even if I personally go to the Snow Woman Cliff, it might not be enough to persuade her."
The little daotong hesitated for a mont, then, unsure if comforting or genuinely surprised, said, "Sect Leader, the person on the bounty hunter platform chose to accept this task on the lunar New Year's Eve. Perhaps he already has a secure plan, after all, it's Chinese New Year. Everyone is celebrating, and vigilance is undoubtedly lower than usual. Besides, the people they co into contact with are more varied than usual, perhaps this is the opportunity to kill Shen Qiang."
Upon hearing this, the Kunlun Sword Sect's Sect Leader's eyes sparkled with excitent, "There's reason in that! Chinese New Year is precisely the ti for visiting relatives and friends. Perhaps this is Shen Qiang's doomsday!"
...
Early the next morning, just as Shen Qiang had gotten up, finished breakfast with all the ladies and his parents, and hadn't had ti to clean up the dishes, he heard soone calling in the yard.
"Shen Qiang! Are you ho?"
Upon hearing the voice, Shen Qiang's mother, who was sitting on the kang, quickly got to her feet, saying, "Qiangzi, go take a look, sounds like the Village Chief."
Shen Qiang went to the door to et them.
At a glance, he saw the Village Chief.
Not only had he co, but also Aunt Xiu Lian, Uncle Second of Zhuzi, Fourth Aunt, and the Village Security and Defense Captain.
Seeing them, Shen Qiang quickly said, "Oh, Village Chief, Aunt Xiu Lian, co in, co in, quickly."
While inviting them in, Shen Qiang's parents also ca out to greet them, inviting everyone into the living room.
As everyone sat down, they looked at Shen Qiang's parents with their youthful appearance, feeling strange but too embarrassed to ask.
Once they sat down, Shen Qiang's parents noticed that Uncle Second of Zhuzi was carrying two large boxes of supplents, and Zhuzi's Fourth Aunt had brought two boxes of wine. Normally, these are distant relations, and suddenly bringing wine and supplents this way was peculiar.
Seeing their parents looking so puzzled, Zhuzi's family said nothing.
The Village Chief chuckled, "Old Shen, you lived a quiet life, never fighting or striving. This has accumulated blessings for the Shen Family. Shen Qiang is truly a person of great talent."
Glancing at Uncle Second and Fourth Aunt of Zhuzi, who were awkwardly chuckling, the Village Chief smiled, "Rember yesterday when I ca to find Shen Qiang?"
Shen Qiang's parents nodded, "We know, wasn't it because Zhuzi was hospitalized?"
Realizing that Shen Qiang had said nothing upon his return, the Village Chief laughed, "Old Shen, it's unbelievable what's happened, listen well. The departnt head, director, and experts of the county hospital all said Zhuzi's arm couldn't be saved and needed to be amputated. Yet your son Shen Qiang went there, and within five minutes, not only was Zhuzi's arm saved, but there's nothing wrong with it. He's being discharged tomorrow. So, Zhuzi's Uncle Second and Fourth Aunt ca specially to thank you for having such a good son."
