Shen Qiang subtly signaled, and the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu beside him opened a small True Essence Barrier to prevent Shen Qiang's call from being overheard. Shen Qiang checked the phone, noticing Bianyi was calling.
"Oh, praise my dear boss, you are so handso. Bathed in your supre might, I feel like I'm almost invincible in the world."
Shen Qiang chuckled, "I have no money, just a life I'm unwilling to give. Also, if you keep praising , I'm hanging up."
Bianyi also laughed, "Brilliant boss, I have good news and bad news to tell you. Which would you like to hear first?"
"Keep the bad news to yourself, just tell the good news." Shen Qiang raised his brows.
Bianyi chuckled and said, "The good news is with the ergence of the Heshenghe Pill Alliance, the people of Qingyun Sword Pavilion have finally made up their minds. They agree with you and consent to integrating Qingyun Sword Pavilion into Qingyun Sword Hall."
"The bad news must be that they have other demands." Shen Qiang's face darkened.
Bianyi chuckled and said, "Praise you, my dear boss, they require the Qingyun Sword Pavilion to retain its na, with Kang Luoying taking Qingyun Sword back to command. anwhile, Heshenghe needs to provide enough financial support for their disciples to cultivate without concerns, and at the sa ti, they will not be under your control."
"Tell them to drop dead." Shen Qiang said indifferently.
Bianyi chuckled, "Praise you, my dear boss. I'm happy to convey your intention, but the real bad news is their swords are now pressed against my neck."
Instantly, Shen Qiang furrowed his brows, then calmly said, "Does Qingyun Sword Pavilion think I'm not finished killing, wanting to send another round?"
"Shen Family Head, calm down." An elder's voice ca through the phone, arrogantly saying, "It's just that we and President Shen could not reach a consensus, so we're forced to take this drastic asure and talk with you."
"No need, he fully represents regarding Qingyun Sword Pavilion matters." Shen Qiang replied calmly.
The elder's voice turned cold, "So inciting various sects to endlessly fight with our Qingyun Sword Pavilion, disrupting our affairs, was also under your commission?"
"And if it was? If you want to kill , better bring all your friends along." Shen Qiang said calmly.
The elder paused for a mont and said, "Certainly worthy of being the King of Demons, arrogant indeed. Let say what we want, Kang Luoying returns to the Sword Pavilion with Qingyun Sword, you fund ten billion annually plus ten jin of Gathering Qi Powder, and a hundred Dahe Luojianan Fragrance as sponsorship. In return, we'll mark Heshenghe in the corner of the mountain gate."
Shen Qiang laughed out loud, "Are you robbing ?"
"This is the price you should pay!" The elder said.
Shen Qiang laughed, "Following the classic threat pattern, tell what you'll do if I disagree?"
"Mr. Shen, I advise you not to take this risk. If you refuse, President Shen will die imdiately, Zuo Lianghao will die, and next will be Heshenghe Mountain Villa."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed and calmly said, "Your idea is quite dangerous."
The elder laughed, but just as he wanted to speak, Shen Qiang calmly said, "So here's my advice, if he loses a single hair, you Qingyun Sword Pavilion lose one person; if he's hurt, all adult disciples of Qingyun Sword Pavilion will be buried alongside him; if he dies, I guarantee with my own head that Qingyun Sword Pavilion will not leave a chicken or dog alive, not a single blade of grass."
Instantly, the elder on the other end of the call panicked, "Shen Qiang, you..."
"I have things to do, that's it." With that said, Shen Qiang directly hung up.
Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu furrowed her brows, said, "Qingyun Sword Pavilion people have Bianyi and Zuo Lianghao tied up?"
"Bianyi's cultivation is weak, and Zuo Lianghao's advantage is in keeping distance. In the office, under close quarters, they couldn't possibly overpower Qingyun Sword Pavilion's people." Shen Qiang's expression was calm.
Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu panicked, "Then what to do? Should I notify Chu Qing?"
"No need." Shen Qiang shook his head, calmly watching the scene of Elixir Pills evaluation, said, "They got into the office, but they can't leave, otherwise they'd be negotiating with much more arrogantly."
Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu was slightly surprised, said, "Aren't you worried about Bianyi's wellbeing?"
"They wouldn't dare touch Bianyi." Shen Qiang calmly said, "They are making their last struggle. They know clearly, without the Heshenghe Pill Alliance, they were already not our match. Now if they choose to rge with Qingyun Sword Hall, with so power, they can bargain with us. Once inadvertently defeated, when they ask to join us, whether we accept them is uncertain."
"So we don't need to bother with them. As long as we're strong enough, countless small sects will want to co to Heshenghe."
Upon hearing this, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu said, "But why did they choose this ti particularly?"
Shen Qiang laughed, glanced sideways at Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, said, "That's because they know Heshenghe has a Pill Alliance now; once I perform well at this Alchemy Conference and achieve a top position, countless cultivators will flock to . If enough people co, they'll have no bargaining chips. So stay calm, don't rush; once the results of the pill evaluation are out, I believe they'll imdiately agree to all of Bianyi's demands."
"Really?" Ke Bizhu hesitated, but soon smiled charmingly, "I knew you could figure this out."
Shen Qiang couldn't help but laugh.
anwhile, at the corner of the sports hall, the bald Sea Demon King Yu Jiang, uninterested in pairing battles over what Elixir Pills, or the blabberings of evaluators, was closely watching Shen Qiang's tense expression as he disconnected the call.
"Oh, seems like he's running into problems. Previously boasting about being the best Alchemist, now finding himself inadequate?"
The Sea Demon King Yu Jiang's mouth ford a cold smile, glancing over those alchemists from the Pill Alliance.
"The Heshenghe Pill Alliance clearly appears as a very temporary organization; they have shared goals and interests, hence they joined together. Once they reap the benefits, everyone will have their own agenda, and in little ti, purely out of loyalty, they will forget each other."
"So if Shen Qiang wants these people to genuinely respect him as Alliance Hierarch, the only chance is here, through his Alchemy Technique, to achieve supre fa, making these guys wholeheartedly admire him. Otherwise, this Pill Alliance will not beco Shen Qiang's support, but due to the struggle over interests, will exhaust Shen Qiang ntally and physically. So young Shen Qiang, if you want to help you fetch the Divine Corpse, then first subdue these alchemists!"
