At eleven in the morning, the convoy from Hidden Sword Villa got off the highway and headed straight for the Heshenghe Villa after entering the Provincial City.

At noon, traffic was jammed throughout the Provincial City; it took over forty minutes to cover a distance of less than five kilometers on the second ring road. The Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa, sitting in the luxurious business sedan, frowned and irritably said, "Who chose this route?"

A nearby Elder from Hidden Sword Villa shuddered and quickly said, "Villa Master, it's mainly because the subordinates don't know any better, so they trusted the navigation. Please don't worry, Carefree Valley and Qingyun Sword Pavilion are currently gathering their disciples scattered everywhere, and Baihua Palace's current stance is rather ambiguous, so no one would expect that we took this opportunity to strike at Heshenghe Villa."

"At this moment, although Heshenghe hasn't issued an obituary, Shen Qiang, who understands the Sword Array, surely wouldn't refrain from using the Five Assistant Swords, and look at this—we've been stuck in traffic all this way, yet not a single person from Heshenghe has shown up. This indicates they've undoubtedly encountered a significant mishap."

Upon hearing this, the Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa relaxed his brow slightly, nodded, and said, "True, for so many cultivators like us to arrive here, given Heshenghe's situation, there's no reason for no one to show up. Thus, Shen Qiang should be dead now."

He then smiled and said, "Those fools from Qingyun Sword Pavilion and Carefree Valley only know how to rush in and fight. What era are we in now? This is the age of intelligence. Once the Five Assistant Swords are unleashed, Shen Qiang will die on his own. By the time they realize it, Heshenghe will already be a branch of Hidden Sword Villa."

The Elder at Hidden Sword Villa quickly flattered, "Villa Master is wise and farsighted, strategizing victory from thousands of miles away without moving a single troop."

Hearing this, the Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa was smug.

At that moment, Zuo Lianghao, sitting in the car, suddenly said, "Heshenghe will not take the initiative to greet cultivators coming from out of town. They will observe, so don't get your hopes up too high. I think Shen Qiang isn't dead."

The Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa raised an eyebrow in surprise, "How do you know?"

Zuo Lianghao sighed calmly, "If Shen Qiang were dead, Shen Bian would definitely notify me."

Shaking his phone, Zuo Lianghao said, "But there's no news at all right now."

The Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa laughed, "You naive boy, you've only been at Heshenghe for a few days and you think they'll tell you everything?"

Zuo Lianghao remained silent upon hearing this, staring out the window in a daze.

Noticing his somewhat low mood, the Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa laughed, "Don't worry, we've already contacted a disciple of Medicine King Valley for you, once this is over, you can go get detoxified."

Hearing this, Zuo Lianghao smiled calmly, shook his head, and said, "I'm not worried about that. It's just that so far, I haven't received any news. So I feel like this time, we might have come for nothing."

The Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa snorted coldly and said, "It's impossible for us to have come in vain. Heshenghe will soon bear the surname Zuo!"

The convoy left the second circle and sped straight toward Heshenghe Villa.

As a result, the convoy had just approached Heshenghe Villa.

The Great Elder sitting in the car was overjoyed, "Monks! Villa Master, look quickly, there are quite a few monks in the courtyard of Heshenghe Villa. Our plan with the Five Assistant Swords must have succeeded!"

The eyes of the Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa were frighteningly bright: "Very good, Shen Qiang is dead, so we'll take down this villa immediately."

At the same time, staring at the villa filled with monks, Zuo Lianghao also frowned, thinking to himself, "Is he really dead? How could Shen Qiang die? He is the opponent I must defeat. If you died just like that, it would be too disappointing."

At this time, in the open space in front of the villa, eighteen vegetarian tables had already been set up.

The voluptuous, beautiful, and enchanting Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu was smiling as she looked at the new abbot of Doushi Temple and said, "Abbot, you've worked hard. This time, the reason for inviting so many of your temple's monks to Heshenghe is to express gratitude for Doushi Temple's protection of the villa during this period on behalf of my boss."

"The dishes are provided by the best vegetarian restaurant in the Provincial City, Miaoweizhai, and even the tables and chairs are brand new, without a speck of worldly dust."

Hearing this, Doushi Temple's new abbot said, "Amitabha, if that's the case, please convey my gratitude to Boss Shen on behalf of this old monk. As for the vegetarian banquet, we should decline..."

"Please, Abbot, enjoy the meal with peace of mind. Later, my boss will also gift you Dahe Luojianan Fragrance."

Seeing Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu's words, the abbot of Doushi Temple's eyes lit up, and he replied, "In that case, this old monk must accept with humility, and thanks be to the benefactress and Boss Shen."

With that said, the monks of Doushi Temple took their seats one after another.

Various vegetarian dishes meticulously made by Miaoweizhai were placed on the table.

At first glance, these vegetarian dishes had a nearly identical appearance to chicken, duck, fish, and meat, almost indiscernible from the real thing, and emitted various delicious aromas that made the monks drool.

But just as they tasted a bite, finding it delicious and preparing to feast heartily.

The convoy from Hidden Sword Villa forcefully drove into Heshenghe Villa.

Tailpipes, thick smoke, and noisy shouting made the martial monks of Doushi Temple burn with anger.

Bam!

After someone closed the car door, the Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa got out of the car, smiling as he glanced at the monks dining. From the True Yuan waves emanating from their bodies, he had confirmed these monks were surely from Doushi Temple.

But he still proudly smiled, filled with surprise and joy, observing the luxuriously decorated and grandiose Heshenghe Villa.

"Not bad, this villa is well built. From now on, this place will become a branch of Hidden Sword Villa."

Hearing the Villa Master's words, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu standing nearby laughed. She turned to Zuo Lianghao and smiled, "Zuo Lianghao, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Sit down and try Miaoweizhai's delicacies with the masters."

Zuo Lianghao was taken aback.

At the same time.

Ke Bizhu's expression darkened, and she coldly looked at the Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa, sneering, "Many have their eyes on Heshenghe, but you're the first to be so arrogant and spout such nonsense here. Our boss has instructed that if you leave on your own, nothing will happen. But if you dare utter a single word of defiance, he will personally throw you out."

Hearing this, the Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa laughed. He took a step forward and sneered, "Oh, you must be Shen Qiang's Dao Fruit Stage secretary, Ke Bizhu? Not bad, high cultivation, great figure, beautiful enough, but not smart enough. Since I'm here, it means I already know Shen Qiang is dead, so there's no need to put on airs with him anymore."

The monks sitting at the table enjoying their vegetarian feast were stunned at this remark.

But just then.

A somewhat languid voice of Shen Qiang suddenly came from the terrace on the third floor of the front yard of Heshenghe Villa.

"Are you out of your mind? Do you pat yourself on the head and think I'm dead and that my things are yours for the taking? Zuo Lianghao can stay, but everyone else should leave. If you dare disturb the monks from Doushi Temple enjoying their food again, don't blame me for being hostile to you."
