As Shen Qiang prepared everything and was about to take action, in the vacation villa on the south side of the Summer Hotel, Sha Jianming, the Young Master of Carefree Valley, the Great Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion, and the person in charge of Hidden Sword Villa were sitting together.

"The Baihua Palace Master is afraid, so she chose to back out at this critical moment. Such a woman, who is faithless and treacherous, is indeed not the material for great deeds," said the person in charge of Hidden Sword Villa.

Sha Jianming sneered with excitement in his eyes and said, "It's fine if she doesn't join. We didn't count on them to be much help anyway. Once we successfully take down Shen Qiang and Heshenghe, there will be one less person to divide the spoils. By then, her regretful look will be quite a spectacle."

The Great Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion laughed, "Exactly. The Baihua Palace Master is still too timid and cautious. The Sect Leader of Kunlun Sword Sect cannot possibly oppose the Xu Family and Bai Family alone, but let's not forget, there are quite a few prestigious sect allies with Kunlun Sword Sect. To be blunt, among the top-notch sects and families, I know of at least three that are allies with Kunlun Sword Sect. So we don't need to fear Cheng Xinyi and Wanxin Hesheng's interference at all."

Sha Jianming laughed, his eyes shining with excitement, and said, "Tomorrow at 5:30 pm, we will obtain the Magical Treasure from the Treasure Exhibition. That Black Blade Youying is indeed formidable, but as long as you all can delay her for a moment, my Evil Spirit Armor can easily kill Shen Qiang!"

The Great Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion nodded, "That's right. The most terrifying thing about Shen Qiang is his ability to poison, but Evil Spirits are not human, so Shen Qiang's poison has no effect on him. So rest assured, Young Master Sha, our people will stop Youying at all costs. You just need to kill him, and then the Black Blade will be ownerless. What can she do then?"

The person in charge of Hidden Sword Villa laughed, "Hmm, everything has been planned out. Once we retrieve the Magical Treasure, Shen Qiang's death is imminent."

While the three were conspiring.

Shen Qiang, accompanied by the beautiful Heroic Thief Jiang Hanyang and Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, was heading toward the Summer Hotel.

The time now was approaching 11 pm.

It was the time when everyone was preparing to rest.

But since the night was not too deep, the movement of people did not surprise the cultivators at all.

Arriving at the entrance of the Summer Hotel.

The three pretended to chat casually, but their gaze was fixed on the empty hall.

At the hotel front desk, two women on duty were secretly browsing on their phones.

There was nothing unusual otherwise.

After checking the synchronized time, the three waited patiently.

A moment later, a patrol team of five cultivators passed through the hall.

"One at the Mixed Element Realm, one at the Yang God Realm, three at the Nascent Soul Stage; Baihua Palace is quite extravagant. Such powerful cultivators are the mainstays in other sects, but unexpectedly, they serve as security here in Baihua Palace."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed and said, "I've always said, Baihua Palace is not that simple. But the deeper the night, the more attention it attracts, so let's act."

Following Shen Qiang's words.

The white cat lying on the cable box outside of the Summer Hotel instantly transformed into Feifei. Her jade hand swiftly connected a box to the cable.

Immediately, a flicker appeared on the monitors in the hotel's security room.

However, when the security guards looked closely, everything seemed normal.

"Done," Feifei's voice came through the earpiece.

Then Hao Deben's wretched voice came, accompanied by the "Yamete" sound effect: "It's done. I've been playing surveillance footage from five minutes ago until now, so my dear boss, you'd better pray you can finish everything in five minutes. Otherwise, if the security finds something wrong, they'll catch you, and not even shouting 'Yamete' will save you."

Shen Qiang chuckled, ignoring him, "Let's move."

The two women smiled with their eyes curved, escorting Shen Qiang into the hotel.

Without any suspense, at the instant they entered, Ke Bizhu knocked out the two hotel front desk clerks with a finger wind.

Then the beautiful Heroic Thief Jiang Hanyang flashed into the front desk, arranged the bodies of the two women, and casually removed her outer coat, revealing a uniform identical to the front desk's, and pinned a nametag taken from the woman on the ground onto her chest.

That charming smile and standard standing posture, if not knowing every employee of the Summer Hotel, would never reveal she wasn't really an employee here.

Instead, one would think the hotel has quite a high standard.

Meanwhile.

With Shen Qiang, Walking outside the corridor door, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu smiled and pressed her finger on the lock. Immediately, the alloy sealed inner lock opened. Ke Bizhu played a recording, then brought her eyes, featuring fake iris information, close, and after a series of verifications.

With some tension, Shen Qiang's eyes lit up, for the corridor door was now wide open.

"Due to system limitations, after disabling infrared detection and vibration sensors, this door must remain open. So, boss, please be back in four minutes and thirty seconds. I will close the corridor door to delay Baihua Palace's discovery."

"Understood."

Shen Qiang responded.

Then crossed the threshold into the grand hall.

The grand hall was shrouded in darkness, devoid of any presence.

Shen Qiang walked while calculating the time.

Eight seconds later.

Shen Qiang pushed open the restroom door outside the grand hall.

Immediately spotting a short-statured, small-faced middle-aged man standing there damp, with sparse whiskers on his face, looking utterly wretched.

"Your Majesty."

He gazed at Shen Qiang with adoration.

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Come with me."

In the empty grand hall, eight display cabinets were filled with Magical Treasures.

Without hesitating, Shen Qiang went directly to the display cabinet belonging to Qingyun Sword Pavilion, as the core power of Heshenghe were these demons, and Qingyun Sword Pavilion's Haotian Mirror would forcibly reveal their true forms, so for Shen Qiang, this was not just a threat.

Because Shen Qiang is the King of Demons, with the Observation Skill, he could already see through the true forms of the demons, but he didn't possess absolute control over them. But with this Haotian Mirror, it would be different; any demon daring to flaunt before Shen Qiang could be reverted to its original form with the mirror.

This is the power the King of Demons should possess!

Eyeing the middle-aged man who inexplicably resembled an otter, Shen Qiang eagerly said, "Begin."

In an instant.

In the darkness, Shen Qiang clearly saw a layer of red light emerging from the man's body.

Firmly enveloping the display cabinet.

"The connection between these Immortal Artifacts and their Masters has been severed, and the illusion of them still being in control has been maintained. Your Majesty can act now."
