The big-eyed Beautiful Demon Feifei, looked delightfully at her forehead, smooth as ever, and excitedly said to Shen Qiang, "Satisfied, thank you, boss."

Shen Qiang smiled, then said to the demons nearby, "Those who are injured, come over to me."

Then, seven or eight Great Demons approached Shen Qiang.

They all had injuries.

There was no alternative.

After all, whether it was the Qingyun Sword Pavilion or the Carefree Valley, regardless of how they acted, their strength was undeniably formidable. If it wasn't for Shen Qiang, with Dao Fruit Stage expert Ji Wei, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, and Feifei on his side.

Along with Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, Jing Xiangwei, and twelve powerful Great Demons.

It would have been a certain death for Shen Qiang.

Because no matter how clever, against absolute power, it's all laughable.

After greeting the ladies, Xiu Ju and Zhan Deyuan left first.

Once everyone's injuries were treated, the battlefield was also cleaned up.

Shen Qiang stood up and said, "Unfortunately, one of our captains was killed in this battle, and we need to take him back for burial. If he has descendants, I will do everything I can to help them. Besides, with a captain's position vacant, I want Feifei to temporarily take over this captain's role. Does anyone have objections?"

Upon hearing this, everyone expressed no objections.

Because during the previous battle, Feifei had already demonstrated her strength.

"Good, since no one has objections, let's settle it this way."

With everything arranged.

Taking the deceased Great Demon, Shen Qiang and the others got in the car, returning to Heshenghe.

On this more than three hundred kilometers journey.

Shen Qiang's mind swirled.

In fact, before this treasure exhibition, Shen Qiang truly didn't expect cultivators to use techniques like gas masks to deal with the Plague Source.

So, upon returning to Heshenghe, the first thing Shen Qiang must do is to collect at least one type of bacteria that can spread through skin contact to use with existing bacteria. Otherwise, facing the harsh living conditions of the Cultivation World without the support of the Plague Source, casualties will become rampant in the future.

For ordinary demons that suffer casualties, Shen Qiang can't say he's completely unaffected.

But they joined Heshenghe; Heshenghe pays them and provides life security. What they give in return isn't too much for Shen Qiang to grieve.

But what about others?

What if the casualties next time involve the ladies?

So, the only chance now is to keep improving his own power.

It's best if he can, alone, defeat the majority of opponents. That way, both the ladies and Heshenghe will be safe.

While contemplating, Shen Qiang's phone rang.

Seeing it was a call from his mother, Shen Qiang immediately answered.

"Xiao Qiang, there is big trouble at home; someone came to rob us. At that time, your father, Xiao Hai, and I were having dinner, and somehow your father and I both fainted. When we woke up, they had already left, and Xiao Hai was beaten terribly."

"His brow bone is fractured, ribs are broken, spleen is ruptured, and he's in the hospital undergoing emergency treatment. What should we do now?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'll immediately send people to handle it, and I'll also arrange for protection for you. You don't have to think about anything, just carry on with your routine, I've got this."

"Okay, ah... I'm regretting it so much now. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have refused your offer to hire bodyguards earlier. Ah, it's all my fault. Let's not talk about it, I'll go ask the doctor."

She hung up the phone.

Pocketing the phone.

Shen Qiang's expression was calm.

In fact, Shen Qiang always wanted to arrange personnel for close protection of his parents.

But his parents, accustomed to hardship, were too frugal.

They really weren't willing to spend a penny on themselves.

No matter what was said, they disagreed.

So, being helpless, Shen Qiang had arranged for Cheng Hai to move to the family home, under the guise of developing the county town as a company regional manager.

Now, after this incident.

Mom seems not to oppose hiring bodyguards anymore.

So, in a way, that's a blessing in disguise.

At least, going forward, Shen Qiang can rightfully arrange for personnel to protect them closely.

Besides that.

Shen Qiang is more concerned about Cheng Hai.

Because he truly didn't let Shen Qiang down; even though facing life and death, he still didn't choose to shrink away.

After all, in that situation, no matter if he pretended to be dead or fainted, Shen Qiang wouldn't have blamed him.

But he didn't.

So as long as Cheng Hai pulls through this time and doesn't die, Shen Qiang will certainly nurture him significantly.

Because he truly is reliable.

"Let the doctors make every effort to save him; money is not an issue. If experts can be hired, do so, and spare no effort to save him."

Seeing as the distance is just too far, at this moment, Shen Qiang, other than making phone calls, truly can't rush to his side immediately.

Not only that.

Cheng Hai's injuries now look frightening, but given his Body Cultivation strength, such injuries are unlikely to be fatal for him.

After making this phone call.

Shen Qiang called Bianyi.

"How's the situation?"

Bianyi chuckled, "My dear boss, I have many good news, and one bad news to tell you. Which do you want to hear first?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned and said, "Don't beat around the bush."

"Over at Carefree Valley, we at Heshenghe were just there to support, because Carefree Valley's real enemy, the Netherworld Pavilion, is already very strong. Without needing us, they could win, but the situation at Qingyun Sword Pavilion is more tricky."

"I spent a lot of effort to persuade those sects that have always been oppressed by Qingyun Sword Pavilion to join forces against them, but their strength is indeed lacking, with no courage. So, compelled, as per your plan, I dispatched two hundred elite demons from Heshenghe."

"We've won now, but we've suffered a small loss of demons, which truly wasn't our fault, but those sword cultivators of Qingyun Sword Pavilion are exceedingly strong."

Shen Qiang was silent for a moment and said, "How much was lost?"

"Ah hahaha, my dear boss, we have achieved a great victory this time, capturing various Magical Treasure…"

"I'm asking you how many personnel were lost!" Shen Qiang interrupted.

Bianyi's tone dampened, "Don't be mad, just a little bit."

"How much is a little bit? Stop going around in circles, just give me the number." Shen Qiang angrily said, "Don't prevaricate with praises, I know you've contributed, and I don't intend to punish you. I also understand that once there is a battle, damages are inevitable."

"Killing a thousand enemies, losing eight hundred of your own, such things have always been from ancient times to the present. I can accept casualties, so you don't have to be burdened emotionally, just tell me straight."

Upon hearing this, Bianyi replied with an oh, then said, "We lost seven Great Demons with Mixed Element Realm strength, fifteen Yin God Realm, and twenty-nine Yin God Realm, totaling fifty-one."
