Chapter 2114: 2117: Inviting the Stunning Fairy Out

"Heshenghe Group's flaws are everywhere, but trying to infiltrate Heshenghe Mountain Villa is simply impossible." As Gong Ziyi felt helpless, in the back mountain rooms of the Kunlun Sword Sect, the elders of the Kunlun Sword Sect had grave expressions."Ordinary cultivators are either shocked by Shen Qiang's strong-armed restraints on alchemists or astounded by the many beauties around Shen Qiang, and they intentionally or unintentionally ignore the cultivators by his side."

Upon hearing the Great Elder's words, the Kunlun Sword Sect members' expressions were solemn.

"The cultivators of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion are peculiar sword cultivators; they are not adept at using flying swords, but their combat power explodes in close combat. The reason they have never been able to become a top-tier sect is not because their sword techniques are lacking, but because, despite their strength, they have an obvious flaw: a lack of ranged methods. Often, by the time they approach the enemy, they have already paid a price."

"But now, with Heshenghe's three hundred great demons and the support of the Infinite Sword Formation's Zuo Lianghao, if a real fight breaks out, the people of Qingyun Sword Pavilion will absolutely astonish everyone."

Among the gravely looking crowd, one person said, "What's more frightening is that according to the information we have, the genius young lady Kang Luoying, at the age of nineteen, has already become a super strong Dao Fruit Stage expert. Furthermore, it is said she possesses the same Dao Fruit as the first-generation Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion, the Six Paths Reincarnation Gate, making her invincible in battle."

"This means that if we stubbornly believe we must retaliate for the killing of Sect Leader Ma by Shen Qiang, then, very likely, our Kunlun Sword Sect will pay an unimaginable price."

"We can't fight." The Great Elder said heavily, "In close combat, the cultivators of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion can challenge our disciples beyond their own stage, and Heshenghe has many flying demons that can instantly deliver them to our disciples' side."

"Moreover, Shen Qiang is not just a demon leader now; he is also the Medicine King who can command all alchemists in the cultivation world, so we should play dumb and pretend not to know that Sect Leader Ma was killed by him."

The words of the Kunlun Sword Sect's Great Elder made everyone present sigh helplessly.

"The times have changed. The current cultivation world has already entered the era of Shen Qiang. No one can ignore his presence. Any of his words can change the structure of the cultivation world, so we have to endure."

Hearing this, one elder hesitated slightly before saying, "Shen Qiang is formidable, but he couldn't possibly be a match for the Snow Woman. Perhaps we could..."

"Don't think of borrowing a knife to kill someone; the Snow Woman is a knife we can't afford to wield. There's no need to discuss this any further. Play deaf and dumb. The Kunlun Sword Sect needs stability now; that's it."

After speaking, the Great Elder turned and left.

Once he had left, the other elders also sighed collectively.

"No choice, other sects have Gathering Qi Powder, and we can't do without it. Moreover, what Shen Qiang has done has already made him famous, admired by all in the cultivation world, so Sect Leader Ma's situation can only be let go."

"This is the best scenario; otherwise, if a real fight breaks out, there would be rivers of blood."

"That's something no one wants to see."

Meanwhile.

It was not only Gong Ziyi and the Kunlun Sword Sect who had noticed the sharp young disciples of Qingyun Sword Pavilion.

Particularly, the matter of the nineteen-year-old Dao Lord, the genius young lady Kang Luoying, was circulating privately among the senior officials of the major sects.

But unfortunately.

At this time, Shen Qiang was as dazzling as the sun, and even the news about Kang Luoying, which could shock the entire cultivation world, could not outshine Shen Qiang.

The various parties, calculating in their minds, continued.

At this time, in the banquet hall of Heshenghe Mountain Villa, at the table where Shen Qiang was present, although Tang Huaqi sat in the place of honor, it was merely a formality. Those truly well-received were always Medicine King Valley Master Qin Yongquan and Pan Zheng.

After all, in a way, these two people are equivalent to being half father-in-law to Shen Qiang.

Enthusiasm was a must.

Another was Yu Xinghuo.

As the vice alliance hierarch of Heshenghe Pill Alliance and head of the Four Young Masters of Danqing, he was indeed Shen Qiang's right-hand man. Without his previous strategic opposition, Shen Qiang wouldn't have the great influence he has today.

Besides them, the Second Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion also needed to be appeased.

Uncle Fu is a veteran of Heshenghe.

He is like a foster father to Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing.

As for Geng Jingyi, there's even less to say, as he's currently the undisputed top expert in Heshenghe, the Demon Immortal.

So by going around the table, Tang Huaqi seems optional because inviting him is merely for the sake of the Dragon Group's face.

But matters of face must definitely be handled properly.

With the smiling Bianyi livening up the atmosphere on the side, everything overall was fine.

Moreover, throughout the banquet, no one brought up the matter of the alchemist's pact to spoil the mood, with the main topics concentrated on the gorgeous Qin Yurou, Pan Meiqing, Medicine King Valley, the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, and their cooperation with Heshenghe.

So the overall atmosphere was very good.

Not only that.

According to the schedule, after lunch, Medicine King Valley Master, Pan Zheng, Yu Xinghuo, and others would leave, leaving behind only the beautiful Fairy Qin Yurou, Pan Meiqing, and the shapely young girl Abi.

The guests would naturally disperse.

Everything proceeded very smoothly.

By twelve-thirty in the afternoon, everything had ended.

Ordinary guests left on their own, with Medicine King Valley Master Qin Yongquan and Pan Zheng leaving under Bianyi's escort.

Meanwhile, Yu Xinghuo had a brief discussion with Shen Qiang in the front office of Heshenghe Mountain Villa about the Pill Alliance, focusing essentially on just two words.

Benefits!

Without this, those alchemists wouldn't be gathered together.

Shen Qiang was well aware of this.

But in the short term, it was clearly not yet ready to address specifics, and in this area, Shen Qiang was not interested in spending too much energy. So he authorized Yu Xinghuo to handle the affairs of the Pill Alliance himself as long as he did not violate major principles.

Therefore, when Yu Xinghuo left, it was already one-thirty in the afternoon.

By this time, the guests of Heshenghe had dispersed.

And the cultivators of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion had also had lunch and were preparing to return.

After a few simple words, they left.

When things finally quieted down, it was already past two in the afternoon.

At this time, Pan Meiqing was chatting with Xu Nan and Bai Jiao, and Abi, being from Medicine King Valley, obviously had shared topics with them.

In such a setting, Shen Qiang, smiling, approached the stunning Fairy Qin Yurou, who was quietly sitting aside listening to them, and then gently said, "Would you like to go see your future subordinates?"
