The numerous cultivators looked in astonishment at Kang Youquan, whose face was pale and wore a bewildered expression.

He panicked and shouted, "Grandfather, you can't do this to me, you agreed to this, this matter..."

"Silence!" The Great Elder said sternly, "You must go for medical treatment immediately, do not speak nonsense."

Kang Youquan was dumbfounded, blankly taken to the hospital for treatment.

After he left.

The Second Elder gave a reassuring glance at Kang Luoying, then said, "Elder Brother, losing the Qingyun Sword is no small matter. The Pavilion Master will surely be furious, and the sect's disciples wouldn't let it go lightly, so this time, Youquan is bound to face some hardships."

Hearing this, the Great Elder sighed helplessly and said, "I also bear inescapable responsibility for this matter."

The Second Elder smiled and said, "It was Youquan who repeatedly insisted on fighting, that's how this happened, so there's no need for you to blame yourself, Elder Brother."

Hearing the Second Elder obviously trying to exonerate him, the Great Elder nodded and said, "Then I rely on you, Second Brother, to speak the truth and prevent the sect's disciples from having a prejudice against me."

The Second Elder smiled and said, "Elder Brother, you are impartial and truly the virtuous of our sect. Of course, we will support you in this matter."

Hearing this, the Great Elder of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion, who had been calling the Second Elder "Second Brother," solemnly nodded and said, "Indeed, Second Brother understands my heart."

They were there, hypocritically praising each other.

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and smiled, looking at Kang Luoying before him, said, "Kang Luoying, since you have already gone solo, you are naturally one of us at Heshenghe. I have decided to let you use the Qingyun Sword. As long as you are with us at Heshenghe, I guarantee that no one in this world can take it from you."

Kang Luoying, the beautiful girl, received the Qingyun Sword from Shen Qiang's hand with a look of surprise and said sweetly, "Thank you, boss."

"Get up." Shen Qiang smiled and said, "You don't have to be so formal in the future, we are our own people, just chat casually."

Kang Luoying, holding the huge Qingyun Sword, coyly responded with a sound of acknowledgment.

Then, in the astonished eyes of the crowd.

They were startled to feel that the Qingyun Sword in Kang Luoying's hand was not only vibrating and buzzing, but the emotions it radiated, akin to a long-separated reunion, were clearly conveyed.

This left the crowd present in shock.

"No wonder it's a top-notch Immortal Artifact, not only can it grow larger or smaller, but it also comes with a vibration function, no wonder the idol-level beautiful girl genius is overjoyed after obtaining it. Moreover, the emotional fluctuations akin to an old friend reunion are extremely intense."

"What an incredible top-notch Immortal Artifact, it doesn't need charging, no batteries, no True Yuan infusion, yet it can quiveringly scream, in a hundred or so years, it will probably become a spirit."

"This excitement is really moving."

At this moment, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Let's go. This matter here is done; let's head back."

Upon hearing this, Ji Liangchuan, who had been quietly observing the spectacle, said, "Congratulations to Heshenghe on obtaining another Divine Weapon."

Shen Qiang smiled upon hearing this.

Then he heard Ji Liangchuan's voice-like whisper.

"This little girl, who is so in awe of you, seems unlikely to leave you ever."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Don't beat around the bush, speak directly."

Ji Liangchuan laughed and said, "There's nothing else, I just want you to know, if one day I hear that you are not treating Ju Yang well, you can't blame me for being impolite."

Shen Qiang gave him a sideways glance and said teasingly, "Being concerned about my girlfriend might make me dislike you."

After saying this, Shen Qiang didn't pay him any more attention, just arrogantly moved forward.

As Shen Qiang's figure was about to disappear, the numerous cultivators slowly walking back began to explode in an uproar.

"Oh my god, did you see clearly? Now, the beautiful girl genius Kang Luoying is determined to follow Shen Qiang. If a real fight breaks out, her top-notch Immortal Artifact, the Qingyun Sword, is not to be trifled with."

"This Shen Qiang is too formidable, really, are the people of Qingyun Sword Pavilion out of their minds? Gambling with him, now they've lost both the lady and the army!"

"Hah, you're just talking without risk. Ten Jiazi Pills! Who wouldn't want them? What if they won?"

"Right, all those who end up losing everything think this way."

They chirped and quarreled noisily.

Meanwhile, the Baihua Palace Master, who had moved ahead, was already back in the office of the Summer Hotel, sitting in a chair so large that it was almost gigantic compared to her delicate figure. The Baihua Palace Master was thoughtfully speaking to the Baihua Jade Girl, Wei Sheng Qian Dai, beside her, with a smile.

"This Shen Qiang is really quite formidable, full of cunning schemes, and ruthless by nature. So I sent you to train under him, indeed underestimating him a bit. After all, besides crushing him with force, confronting this guy is no easy task."

Hearing this, Wei Sheng Qian Dai frowned and said, "Master, I feel that our current conflict with him is actually meaningless. Think about it, our Baihua Palace has always been running art schools across the country, even if Heshenghe falls, we can't take on anything else."

The Baihua Palace Master laughed, "Silly girl, it's not as simple as you think. That Shen Qiang is an ambitious guy. If we don't bring him down, he will endlessly cause trouble for us. Moreover, we are only over 300 kilometers away from him. Once Heshenghe's control expands, we will be immediately affected."

"At that time, we will have to agree to Heshenghe's demand for a symbolic one-yuan shareholding, otherwise, when Heshenghe's people arrive here, our Baihua Art Academy will not be able to operate normally, which is something we absolutely cannot allow."

Wei Sheng Qian Dai said helplessly, "Then what's the point of your current struggles?"

The Baihua Palace Master laughed, "The place where Heshenghe is located is a populous province with about 100 million people. Among these people, there must be many exceptionally talented individuals waiting for us to discover, and Shen Qiang is now the obstacle. To defeat the opponent, the most important thing is to know oneself and the enemy."

"So now it seems that our previous plan was too simple: showcasing our equipment to intimidate him and force him to concede; such a tactic is unlikely to work with his personality."

Wei Sheng Qian Dai exclaimed in surprise, "Then didn't we hold the treasure exhibition for nothing?"

Hearing this, the Baihua Palace Master smiled, "Silly girl, how could it be for nothing? The saying goes, 'know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' Hidden Sword Villa, Qingyun Sword Pavilion, Carefree Valley, don't let the current alliance deceive you; they're not all good either."

"So this treasure exhibition wasn't just for Heshenghe. We also want to understand the foundation of the other sects."

Wei Sheng Qian Dai's beautiful eyes lit up, said, "Master, then what should we do?"

With a voluptuous figure and captivating beauty, the Baihua Palace Master smiled and said, "Shen Qiang is so arrogant, and now he's the focus of public attention. To test the limits of others, pushing him out as a touchstone is without a doubt the best."

This left Wei Sheng Qian Dai bewildered.
