Under the cold, bright moonlight, Xiu Ju from the Dark Department stood stunned on the spot.

Sigh.

Releasing her Divine Sense, Xiu Ju could clearly perceive everything around her: in the winding river, yachts swayed among the waves, a giant toad was swallowing a small snake, an autumn cicada landed on a kumquat tree, vibrating its wings, in the villa area, a large hound was striking a rat with its paw while its mistress, currently unclothed, knelt before a tall man who was brandishing a whip...

Even so,

Xiu Ju still couldn't find the vanished Shen Qiang.

Where had he gone?

How was this possible?

Xiu Ju's beautiful eyes were shocked!

Suddenly, her heart began to pound chaotically!

"Shen Qiang's Cultivation is only at the Golden Core Stage, he can't evade Divine Sense yet, so his sudden disappearance must be aided by some kind of tool, an invisibility tool, an invisibility tool—it must be the Immortal Artifact Star Moon's Protection!"

"But is that possible? Even the genius assassin of the Dragon Group, who has collected military honors for many years, hasn't gathered a hundred thousand Points. As a newcomer, how could Shen Qiang possibly get it!"

Xiu Ju's heart raced nervously, instinctively wanting to observe the situation inside the villa.

But at that moment, she was shocked to discover that as soon as her Divine Sense reached Miss Chu Qing's villa, it was immediately deflected aside.

Relying on Divine Sense to understand the situation inside the villa was simply not as straightforward as using the bright moonlight.

And such a situation instantly tensed Xiu Ju's beautiful eyes.

Because this meant that either Miss Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing was too powerful for Xiu Ju's Divine Sense to probe, or there was some kind of Array inside the Beautiful Demon Fox's residence that could evade Divine Sense scanning.

Either way, it meant that Shen Qiang, who had sneaked in, must be extremely careful. A slight mishap and he might not make it out.

"Shen Qiang, you must be careful!"

And while Xiu Ju was worried,

Shen Qiang, who was stepping into the villa, was also very cautious.

Because when everyone sat together at the table to eat, whether true or false, talk of friendship and ideals, everyone seemed dignified.

But now the situation was that Shen Qiang had secretly sneaked in to find Bianyi.

This sudden backstabbing, if not discovered by Miss Chu Qing, was fine, but if discovered by her and the other two Great Demons, the likelihood of them erupting in violence was nearly one hundred percent.

Because even Shen Qiang would feel the same way.

Oh, I just invited you for a meal.

You leave politely, and then you sneak back in, trying to do what? Steal something or ambush me?

So even though he knew that the invisibility effect produced by Star Moon's Protection was undetectable by Divine Sense, Shen Qiang's heart still beat nonstop.

He entered the courtyard.

All traces of the earlier gathering had already vanished.

There was no one in the courtyard.

Lights were on in the villa, and the door on the first floor was left open.

After Shen Qiang tiptoed into the villa, he found that it was really small, even smaller than his home in Jinyu Huacheng.

The decor was very modern.

The floor tiles were high-end and shone like a mirror.

Just then, Shen Qiang faintly heard voices coming from upstairs.

Therefore, he carefully made his way up the stairs to the second floor.

His heart was racing.

His palms were sweating.

But there was no other way, with the protection of Star Moon's Protection, the prerequisite for invisibility was that he couldn't use any Techniques while invisible.

Any operation of True Yuan or True Qi would cause the effect of invisibility to disappear.

And without the operation of True Qi and True Yuan, once Shen Qiang was discovered, whether it was Miss Chu Qing, the Black Bear Spirit, the octopus demon, or even Bianyi, as soon as they made a move, Shen Qiang might not even have a chance to resist— he could be killed instantly.

"For Shen Qiang's secret, Bianyi's asking price is sixty million, and he believes that this price is very fair,"

Hearing the voice of the Black Bear Spirit, Shen Qiang immediately tensed up and hastened his steps up the stairs, soon discovering that directly opposite the staircase was a screen.

"He's asking for the moon, sixty thousand makes more sense," said the voice of the octopus demon.

"It's quite interesting indeed," said Miss Chu Qing with a laugh in her voice, "Bianyi said he knows Shen Qiang's secret, and Shen Qiang's attitude became very strange after hearing that. In my memory, he has always been a very assertive man, but after hearing Bianyi's words, he naturally started to endure."

"Miss, the Sect Leader has only given us 180 million to buy the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, we don't have the money to buy Shen Qiang's secret," said the voice of the Black Bear Spirit, which wasn't naive at all.

Hearing this, the living room on the second floor went briefly quiet.

Nervously, Shen Qiang stepped towards the staircase leading to the third floor. Halfway there, his gaze managed to see through the space above the screen and clearly view the three great demons in the living room.

At that moment, the stunning Miss Chu Qing was still wearing her red dress, sitting on the sofa drinking tea; the Black Bear Spirit and the octopus demon modestly sat across from her, with not even a tea cup in front of them.

"We can choose to remain ignorant of Shen Qiang's secret, but Bianyi is becoming greedier now," said the stunning Miss Chu Qing, "Just before he left, he told me that if we buy the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra from Shen Qiang without going through him, he would need to raise the commission by an additional five percent."

"Shameless!" roared the Black Bear Spirit, "He charges an additional ten percent commission on every item he helps us buy. An item worth ten million, once it changes hands, becomes eleven million. If Miss buys the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra from Shen Qiang for 180 million, the fee given to Bianyi would be eighteen million. This is simply extortion."

Miss Chu Qing paused silently for a moment, leisurely sipped her tea, and said, "We can pay him, because we have no other choice. Although the largest cultivation organization of Huaxia, Dragon Group, does not maliciously target us, other cultivators are still constantly clamoring about slaying demons to protect the Tao—"

"They either boast to others about killing demons or they want to subdue us and enslave us, and Bianyi is very greedy. As long as the price is right, he would even sell his own parents, so although we would lose some money, he is the easiest for us to exploit."

The Black Bear Spirit fell silent.

Then the octopus demon said, "Miss, the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra is the Supreme Scripture of our demon clan. The Sect Leader said that if we can obtain the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, with your talent, you will certainly become the King of Demons!"

Miss Chu Qing smiled.

Then the Black Bear Spirit frowned and said, "But Shen Qiang's attitude today was initial denial, and though he finally admitted the Daluo Heaven Heart Sutra was purchased by him, he said it was taken by his master. Such an obvious lie, I think it's improbable that he would sell the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart."
