Chapter 2113: 2116: Hating Me to the Core Yet Unable to Touch Me

At the same time the stunning actress Song Weiyin revealed an expectant smile, Young Master Gong Ziyi, who had been slapped in the face by Shen Qiang's series of unexpected actions, sat in the car, looking seriously at a tablet and a phone in front of him. On the tablet screen was a live broadcast showing the beautiful fairy Qin Yurou, Pan Meiqing, and a group of women chatting and laughing warmly, creating an atmosphere that seemed both joyful and enviable.

The other phone showed images of the Heshenghe banquet hall being observed.

"Heshenghe's strength is no longer what it was before. Young Master, you see, outside the Heshenghe restaurant, there are four teams of Great Demon security, all of whom are above the Mixed Element Realm. And this is only what we can see. According to the information we have, behind the villa is the daily stronghold of Heshenghe's three hundred Great Demons. So, just from this security perspective, to attack Heshenghe by force, you would need at least twice their power."

"And to win, you would need at least three times their strength to stand a chance," said the elder seriously to Gong Ziyi.

This statement caused Gong Ziyi to frown deeply, and he said in a gloomy tone, "A direct assault won't work. Around Heshenghe, Baihua Palace Master is ambiguous with Shen Qiang, the Young Master of Hidden Sword Villa is following Heshenghe's President, and the head of Carefree Valley is Heshenghe President's wife. Meanwhile, Qingyun Sword Pavilion is a subordinate of Heshenghe."

"Moreover, more importantly, Shen Qiang is the Security Advisor for the Dragon Group. If something happens to Heshenghe, the Provincial City division of the Dragon Group will immediately help Shen Qiang. Therefore, attempting a surprise attack on Heshenghe is courting death."

Hearing this, the elder seemed relieved and said, "It's best that the Young Master understands this. A frontal assault, even with all our elites, couldn't resolve Shen Qiang in half an hour, and after half an hour, when reinforcements from Qingyun Sword Pavilion, Hidden Sword Villa, Carefree Valley, and Baihua Palace arrive, it will be total annihilation."

Gong Ziyi snorted coldly, "You overlooked the Doushi Temple near Heshenghe. That group of monks is strong and seems to have a close relationship with Shen Qiang, so a strong attack is certainly not an opportunity."

"Besides, given the current situation, attacking Heshenghe frontally is already an unrealistic idea. Even if the entire Abyss joined forces, they couldn't wipe out Heshenghe with a frontal assault, because now Heshenghe has already established itself as a local power."

"Unless Shen Qiang makes a major mistake in decision-making that causes public outrage against Heshenghe, otherwise, given the current situation, even though some sects are more powerful than Heshenghe, none have the capability to destroy Heshenghe in short term with an iron hand."

The elder nodded, "Young Master is wise and insightful, nothing can be hidden from you."

Gong Ziyi frowned, showing the elder his phone, and said, "There is nothing in this world without loopholes and opportunities. Look at these service staff, according to the messages reported by our people, they are all cultivators from Qingyun Sword Pavilion, with ordinary strength from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Mixed Element Realm. I am thinking, perhaps we can have our people infiltrate."

Upon hearing this, the elder chuckled, then seemed to think he was out of line, and immediately put on a serious face, respectfully saying, "Young Master, this approach won't work. The biggest difference between Qingyun Sword Pavilion and other sects is that all core disciples of Qingyun Sword Pavilion have the surname Kang."

"Simply put, those disciples have known each other since birth, so trying to infiltrate people in, even if they are experts in illusion techniques, might still expose themselves in details."

Gong Ziyi frowned, "Heshenghe seems to have other ways to infiltrate cultivators."

"It's meaningless," said the elder seriously. "Those recruited cultivators don't even have a chance to enter the Heshenghe villa, they can only work in the Heshenghe Group. Their direct supervisor is Heshenghe President Shen Bian, and their work is only peripheral. Approaching Heshenghe in that way to grasp Shen Qiang's movements would not only take an extremely long time, but they would also never get close to the core, because... Shen Qiang is the King of Demons, and around him, there is no lack of powerful and loyal demons."

These words made Gong Ziyi sigh, then he said, "Is there no other way?"

The elder looked at Gong Ziyi helplessly, "Young Master, I am sorry to disappoint you. Planting people, getting close, monitoring closely, and looking for opportunities can be used on any cultivator, except for Shen Qiang. Because those closest around him are all demons."

Gong Ziyi frowned, "Everyone has weaknesses. I don't believe I can't control Shen Qiang. He is lecherous, likes beautiful women, so a beauty trap might be the best way to deal with him."

Hearing this, the elder smiled, "The weakness that everyone knows might just be a smokescreen cunningly released by Shen Qiang."

"What do you mean?" Gong Ziyi frowned.

The elder hesitated for a moment, then calmly said, "Young Master, Shen Qiang's love for beauty is no secret in the Cultivation World. Everyone knows, and those who want to use a beauty trap against Shen Qiang aren't just you. But the point is, have you noticed, the background of those women around Shen Qiang is all clear and traceable?"

"Xu Nan, Bai Jiao, Kang Luoying, Baihua Jade Girl Weisheng Qian Dai, Dragon Group's Ali, Ye Xiaolei, Pan Meiqing, Qin Yurou, including Jing Xiangwei, which one of them has a complicated background?"

Gong Ziyi frowned and said, "You mean Shen Qiang has always been guarding against others using a beauty trap?"

"Not guarding, rather Shen Qiang has been deliberately exposing this, hoping someone would use a beauty trap on him." The elder smiled, "Because so far, this is the only apparent weakness of Shen Qiang."

"Money, tens of billions, even hundreds of billions, cannot seduce Shen Qiang now. Regarding Magical Treasure, Shen Qiang holds the Cultivation World's only so-called Divine Artifact, Black Blade. In terms of power, commands alchemists and demons. When it comes to tactics, Shen Qiang never hesitates. So the beauty trap seems like the simplest and clearest approach to deal with Shen Qiang, but please believe me."

"With Shen Qiang's current taste, ordinary beauties have no attraction to him. Just being pretty, without ability, won't work either because even if Shen Qiang sleeps with her, that woman won't be able to squeeze into Heshenghe's core. So, if the Young Master really wants to compete with Shen Qiang, it's better to choose the King's Path. These small tactics are no match for him."

Hearing this, Gong Ziyi's complexion turned extremely ugly: "Do you know what the most distressing thing in this world is?"

Looking at the elder's curious eyes, Gong Ziyi responded with a gloomy face, "It's that even though I have astonishing power and hate Shen Qiang to death, I just can't do anything to him!"
