The Baihua Palace Master, graceful, seductive, and stunning, her skirt hems and hair fluttering in the wind, possessed a beauty so extreme that at this moment, she seemed like a beguiling Daji, inspiring a sense of longing among the present cultivators, even causing Shen Qiang's murderous intent to inexplicably wane.

Not to mention the other cultivators.

So strong!

The Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing had already retrieved the Wizard's Eye from the showcase, yet she still looked with surprised eyes at the awe-inspiring Baihua Palace Master floating in the air.

"Truly worthy of being the Baihua Palace Master, indeed a mesmerizing enchantress. Though her enchanting techniques differ somewhat from mine, they are more potent and cover a broader range. If only the Feather Dress were still in her possession, surely, all the male cultivators in the world would fall under her spell!"

As the Beautiful Demon Fox was in shock.

Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, with eyes shaking, gazed at the Baihua Palace Master.

"Dao Fruit Stage strength! Unbelievable that the Baihua Palace Master has cultivated to such a formidable level!"

And just as Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing and Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu were staring in awe at the levitating Baihua Palace Master.

Shen Qiang was fine.

Though his murderous intent waned slightly, his mind remained clear.

Yet at this moment in the grand hall, the cultivators with slightly lesser cultivation were utterly entranced by her, unable to find their bearings, their eyes shining foolishly as they muttered praise.

"Oh, is Shen Qiang that rogue still holding out?" The graceful, stunning Baihua Palace Master gave a charming smile and softly said, "Shen Qiang, nothing can't be discussed, so why resolve the issue with such a beauty-ruining method as murder?"

Upon hearing this.

Shen Qiang's killing intent waned even further.

Despite knowing this was due to the Baihua Palace Master's abilities, Shen Qiang instinctively wanted to nod.

But at that moment.

A dragon's roar echoed in the Sea of Consciousness.

Shen Qiang's mind instantly cleared, his eyes turning fierce.

In fact, that night, during the summer hotel scouting, upon overhearing Sha Jianming and others plotting his murder and even planning to use his head as a nighttime chamber pot, Shen Qiang had wanted to kill them all on the spot.

However, at the time, with no immortal artifacts in hand, merely killing a few people wouldn't affect the four families' strength. So, to avoid alarming them, Shen Qiang endured his anger.

But now the situation was different.

In terms of influence, Shen Qiang had Cheng Xinyi and Sheng He as allies. In terms of strength, he now possessed the Black Blade Youying and over twenty immortal artifacts in his Storage Ring.

In such circumstances, why endure?

"If you wish to kill me, be prepared to be killed by me!"

With those words, Shen Qiang's figure flashed.

In an instant, he appeared before the dazed Sha Jianming, and the Black Blade Youying in his hand erupted like a dormant volcano, unleashing terrifying electric blades, slashing towards Sha Jianming's throat like a consuming black light.

"Techniques are ineffective!" The stunning Baihua Palace Master exclaimed in shock.

Almost simultaneously, the powerful man who had previously discovered Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu and the beautiful Heroic Thief Jiang Hanyang launched a powerful aura, slamming a palm onto the ground.

Boom!

Standing there foolishly, Sha Jianming, about to be killed, vanished as a large hole appeared in the ground.

Hiss!

The space crushed by the terrifying force of Black Blade Youying's radiating sword light emitted an alarming sound of shattering, startling all present cultivators.

"Do you want to be my enemy?"

Looking at Shen Qiang, whose eyes held a faint golden hue, the middle-aged man who had temporarily saved Sha Jianming said helplessly: "Advisor Shen, don't misunderstand. If you kill him now, Carefree Valley won't let it go, and Sheng He isn't a group of saints either. Behind you, both have powerful backing; a direct conflict would cause blood to flow in the Cultivation World."

"Let's sit down and talk; this is not just for yourself, not only for Sheng He, because you must understand, while Sha Jianming may be trash in your eyes, to his parents, he means the world, so Mr. Shen, please reconsider."

Hearing this, Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei also smiled, saying: "Shen Qiang, be forgiving when possible."

Shen Qiang took a deep breath, his gaze cold as he said, "Be forgiving when possible? When you were planning to kill me, flatten Sheng He, use my house as a vacation home, and take my head as a chamber pot, did you ever think of forgiveness?"

Instantly.

The grand hall went silent.

Everyone quietly watched Shen Qiang.

For from the surprised expressions of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion Great Elder, Sha Jianming, the Hidden Sword Villa representative, and the Baihua Palace Master, they could all tell Shen Qiang's words were definitely not groundless.

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words filled with killing aura.

The man who had saved Sha Jianming felt helpless; he hesitated for a moment, then solemnly said: "Shen Qiang, do you remember the person who saved you in Shanghai? Let Sha Jianming go, and you'll have repaid that favor."

For a moment, both Shen Qiang and Zhang Shuheng, sitting in the corner, were stunned.

Because back in Shanghai, it was Zhang Shuheng who tried to kill Shen Qiang, while the person who saved Shen Qiang was the War God of the Dragon Group.

After a long silence.

With a wave of Shen Qiang's hand, the Black Blade Youying disappeared.

"Very well, regardless of truth, since you've mentioned him, I'll grant this favor, but the opportunity comes only once."

Seeing Shen Qiang disperse his terrifying pressure.

The graceful, stunning Baihua Palace Master descended to the ground and gave a charming smile to Shen Qiang, saying: "Mr. Shen, in that case, I think we need to have a serious discussion."

Shen Qiang gazed coldly at her and said: "Alright." He then calmly glanced at the Qingyun Sword Pavilion Great Elder, the Hidden Sword Villa representative, and the still-shaken Sha Jianming, calmly saying: "The Palace Master will arrange a place where anyone who wishes to speak with me can go."

Upon hearing this, the Baihua Palace Master's eyes brightened as she said: "Mr. Shen, this way please."

With that, she led the way as Shen Qiang walked with calm indifference.

The cultivators in the grand hall were filled with shock.

"What a domineering Shen Qiang! We had overlooked his status as a big-shot simply because of the strong alliance of the four families."

"It scared the hell out of me! Indeed, there's no big-shot in the Cultivation World who is easy to bully."

"Truly terrifying! His luck is good. If it were me, I'd surely be killed by Shen Qiang."

As everyone breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, Sha Jianming, who had just come to his senses, suddenly erupted in rage, shouting furiously at Shen Qiang's retreating figure: "I'm talking to you compared to your mom! Shen Qiang, you're dead! If I don't kill you, I'm not human!"

Hearing these words, Shen Qiang stopped, a smirk of contempt appearing at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Sha Jianming with the corner of his eye, calmly saying: "I've repaid the favor I owed, so you're welcome to be reckless anytime. However, know this, next time, I won't grant anyone the chance to save you."
