Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group and the other three fell silent instantly. Only the girl with a green totem mask, who had released the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu, looked at the four in shock and then exclaimed, "Is everything Shen Qiang said true?"

In a moment, the four of them exchanged glances, a strange silence prevailing among them.

Almost simultaneously, the leader with the blue totem mask laughed and said, "Shen Qiang, I have to admit you're an exceptionally imaginative guy, but don't be overconfident. Your cultivation is merely at the Yang God Realm, while we all have the Dao Fruit Stage cultivation. To kill you, there's no need to exert ourselves; all it takes is a lift of our hand, and you're dead."

"As expected from the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group, your boasting skills are exceptionally impressive," Shen Qiang mockingly smiled, "But since you all are super strong, I believe it isn't difficult for you to discover that within a two-kilometer radius, there are not only twelve Heshenghe guards but also four Great Demons with Dao Fruit Stage strength."

Looking at the tall man locked in an even battle with Yuwen Hu, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "And this doesn't even include my Black Blade and Evil Spirit Armor."

Upon hearing this, the group leader laughed and said, "At most, it's only a fifty-fifty split. Where do you get the confidence to threaten us? You should be aware that in front of Dao Fruit Stage experts, the Mixed Element Realm is nothing but a joke."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Oh, well, I have some bad news for you. When I came, I happened to put a little poison on you all, so you should know by now that defying my will or trying to move against me means you won't be going anywhere."

The members of the group fell silent, and the leader yelled sternly, "Shen Qiang, you're trying to scare me. As Dao Fruit Stage super experts, we're not that easy to poison."

Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Yes, you're not that easy to poison. That's why I needed to show up and have a chat with you, to get closer."

Instantly, two people who had appeared in Shen Qiang's Divine Sense on New Year's Eve became anxious.

"Despicable! Shameless! Shen Qiang, you..."

"Don't lie to me. Tell me your true purpose," Shen Qiang said calmly, "If you think speaking riddles is fun, I'll send you to hell."

Upon hearing this, the group leader laughed, clapping while saying, "Impressive, Shen Qiang. You're even more outstanding than I imagined. Alright, I admit, you're partly right. Although the Illusion Demolition Group took the task, it wasn't to kill you. I just wanted to see if the Dragon Group's Nightmare was qualified to join the group."

Shen Qiang laughed, "And then?"

"I like smart people. You will become my best subordinate," the leader said, "So congrats, Shen Qiang, from now on, you're now a member of the group. After this, you can join us for some big ventures."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Are you dreaming? Joining the Illusion Demolition Group is fine, but from now on, please call me vice leader or leader."

In an instant, everyone's eyes widened in amazement.

The leader with the blue totem mask became instantly excited, saying, "Very good, you really are an ambitious guy. Just joined the group and already want to usurp the position? But you must understand, to become the leader, you have to beat me personally."

"Haha, Shen Qiang, you indeed are an amusing fellow. The leader's power is not something a cultivator with only a Yang God Realm cultivation can comprehend. Even if the leader closed his eyes and sat still, you could never beat him."

"Shen Qiang, at first I found you quite agreeable, but your arrogance is disgusting. You think this place is your domain, that having more people allows you to do as you please, but you're doomed."

Listening to their words, Shen Qiang laughed, "I think you're mistaken. Actually, up until now, I haven't believed a thing you've said. I only believe two things: one, that my mask indeed came from the Illusion Demolition Group."

With a hand gesture towards the girl who used the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu, and the tall man fighting fiercely with the Evil Spirit Yuwen Hu, Shen Qiang smiled, "And the other thing is, those two are not part of the core of the Illusion Demolition Group; they don't know what you intend to do."

"So this means that with my presence, the seven members of the Illusion Demolition Group have been divided into two small groups, one being the four of you, and the other being the three of us."

In an instant, the four members of the group leader were dumbfounded.

"Shen Qiang, you think coming here means they will listen to you?" The group leader sneered, "Don't forget, you're just a newcomer."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled, waved his wrist, and the graceful Golden Cicada Gu flew out with a buzz. Looking at the shocked eyes of the girl, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I'm a better Gu Master than you and won't treat you as a fool and exclude you. So if you're tired of being manipulated by them, then support me as vice leader. I promise that whatever the Illusion Demolition Group does, no one will deceive you."

"Moreover, I can let my Golden Cicada Gu keep you company for a chat," Shen Qiang said with a smile.

The shocked girl stared blankly at the Golden Cicada, amazed, and exclaimed, "Divine Gu, there really is a Divine Gu!"

Then, she suddenly woke up, came to her senses, and said without hesitation, "Alright, Shen Qiang, I support you!"

Hearing these words, the voice of the Illusion Demolition Group leader turned cold, said gravely, "It's useless, Shen Qiang. There are seven of us, and just the two of you can't change anything. Also, the proud one just wants the Black Blade, his wish is to cut you down with one strike and take the Black Blade. So now, if you want to fight me, it's too early."

Shen Qiang laughed, looking at the tall man fighting fiercely with Yuwen Hu's Evil Spirit, despite being struck several times, yet bursting out with excited laughter while wielding his blade. He said aloud, "Hey, tall guy, I guess you want a peerless blade to match your sword technique, but believe me, the Black Blade is too short and small for you. However, I know the master craftsman who forged it."

"Therefore, if you don't want to be played for a fool by these four, and want a good blade and hope to often practice your sword technique with top-tier swordsmen like the Evil Spirit, then support me as leader. I promise you can have all this."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Amidst the snow, the tall man's hearty laughter rang out, "Good, good, good, such a miraculous sword technique! As long as I can fight him every day, I support you as leader!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled, turned his head, looked at the leader whose eyes emitted terrifying coldness, and smiled gently, "Understand? I'm here, the Illusion Demolition Group is split in two. Either you agree to me being the vice leader, and all decisions must be discussed with me, or…"

His lips curled into an enchanting arc, Shen Qiang smiled and continued.

"Let's disband the Illusion Demolition Group."
