The bright headlights tore through the night, and as the engine roared, Shen Qiang's luxury off-road vehicle, akin to an armored car, burst into the Long Yan Mountain Villa, leaving the excited Long Yan crowd dumbfounded.

"That's not the Sect Leader's convoy!"

"The Sect Leader's car isn't here!"

"Who are they!"

And almost simultaneously, as they were still in shock,

The vehicles entered the Long Yan Mountain Villa in succession and parked; the car doors opened.

In an instant, everyone inside the Long Yan Mountain Villa turned pale.

"Shen Qiang! Weren't you supposed to be dead?" the chairman of the Long Yan Group exclaimed, his face changing drastically as he watched Shen Qiang arrogantly leap down from the vehicle.

Almost at the same time, another middle-aged man bellowed, "It's Shen Qiang, attack!"

The many disciples of the Long Yan Sword Sect drew their swords.

But at this moment, Shen Qiang couldn't be bothered to activate his Plague Source.

Because with a sweep of his Divine Sense, Shen Qiang had already clearly perceived that within the entirety of Long Yan Mountain Villa, except for the Long Yan Group chairman and the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, everyone else's cultivation level was concentrated below the Golden Core Stage. Although they seemed to be numerous and formidable, in the eyes of Shen Qiang and his associates, they were nothing more than a bunch of trash that could be crushed effortlessly!

"Chu Qing!" Shen Qiang called out.

The Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing's figure flashed.

She had already taken control of the chairman of the Long Yan Group and then tossed him at Shen Qiang's feet as if he were trash.

Almost at the same time, the people who had come with Shen Qiang began to release the oppressive presence of the strong.

There was no need to lift a finger.

That overwhelming aura alone caused the many weaker disciples of the Long Yan Sword Sect to stand still in horror, not daring to make any rash moves.

At this moment, Shen Qiang calmly raised an eyebrow and said, "Your Long Yan Sword Sect's Sect Leader and Great Elder, as well as the experts who ambushed me, are already dead. I am a kind person and do not take pleasure in killing, so I'm giving you ten seconds to think and save yourselves."

"Lay down your weapons, kneel, and hold your heads to survive. Those who attempt to flee or resist will be killed!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man became furious and shouted, "Shen Qiang, don't spread your lies! Our Long Yan Sword Sect is brimming with experts; you alone could never defeat us. So, disciples of the Long Yan Sword Sect, don't be frightened by him; he's nothing but a paper tiger!"

Just then, the middle-aged female secretary of the Long Yan Sword Sect panicked, urging, "Everyone, listen to us! The Sect Leader, the Great Elder, and the experts of our sect are indeed all dead. Do not resist, preserving your lives is more important than anything!"

Her words caused the many disciples of the Long Yan Sword Sect to turn ashen-faced, and chaos ensued at once.

"Impossible! The Great Elder is a peak Nascent Soul presence. Even a Dao Fruit Stage supreme expert would have to fight for days and nights to kill him. How could these few people from the Shen family possibly win?"

"This can't be true; our Long Yan Sword Sect cannot be defeated!"

"It's over. Shen Qiang and his people are ruthless. With the Sect Leader and the Great Elder dead, we have no chance of fighting back!"

As they were discussing, Shen Qiang calmly counted down, "5, 4, 3..."

"As a man of Long Yan, I'd rather die as a ghost of Long Yan than submit!" Seeing the chaos among the disciples inside the Long Yan Mountain Villa, the middle-aged man bellowed and, with sword in hand, charged towards Shen Qiang.

But he hadn't even taken two steps.

Wu Zhaoyang, towering over two meters tall, simply used one hammer swing to smash his head, causing a spray of brain matter and killing him instantly on the spot.

Several timid disciples of the Long Yan Sword Sect, upon witnessing this scene, turned and ran.

But they had only managed a few steps

before they were killed by Xiu Ju's threads and Cheng Hai's heavy punches.

"Time's up," Shen Qiang put down the stopwatch.

Clang!

As a longsword fell to the ground, a disciple approaching his thirties, with a cultivation at the Golden Core Stage, kneeled down with a thud, cradling his head in his hands and shouted loudly, "Lay down your weapons, everyone must understand that it's only with the green mountains in sight that we need not worry about firewood. There's no point in resisting stubbornly and dying without meaning!"

"Big Brother!"

"If even the Big Brother is kneeling, what is there left for us to consider?"

"Just bear with it, let Shen Qiang have his moment of triumph, as long as we stay alive, we will sooner or later take down Shen Qiang!"

Nearly a hundred disciples of the Long Yan began to lay down their swords and knives and knelt on the ground with their hands over their heads.

Shen Qiang looked at them with a hint of disappointment, saying, "You have let me down. I originally thought that you would be proud and brave men, who would attack me en masse after I counted down. That way, I could have easily killed all of you. But you have knelt down so spinelessly; it seems somewhat inappropriate to kill you now."

Hearing these words, the eyes of the many Long Yan Sword Sect disciples lit up.

"That's right, whether in the cultivation world or the secular world, sparing those who surrender is an unwritten rule. Even someone as formidable as you, Shen Qiang, can't break this convention, or else you will be despised by the cultivation world, and your future enemies will surely fight you to the death," said that Big Brother amongst the disciples of the Long Yan Sword Sect, his gaze tinged with smugness.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Long Yan also chimed in.

"Yeah, we've surrendered, you can't kill us."

"Mhm, one must observe the rules, Shen Qiang, you can't break them!"

Hearing the words of the Long Yan disciples, the chairman of the Long Yan Group who had been subdued, anxiously roared, "Shen Qiang, I surrender too, don't kill me!"

Shen Qiang laughed.

With a stomp, he crushed the chairman's head, saying, "You forgot, you were subdued before you said you surrendered."

Looking at the ruthless Shen Qiang, the clamoring disciples of the Long Yan Sword Sect went deathly pale and dared not utter a single noise.

Bianyi, covering his nose with a handkerchief, shook his head in disdain, "What a worthless fool, trying to pull tricks on my boss, truly a death wish."

Shen Qiang smiled.

At that moment, a chef poked his head out from the kitchen, and after casting a distant glance and being somewhat astonished by what had happened, he couldn't help but shout, "Time to serve the celebration banquet!"

Bianyi laughed upon hearing this, "Serve it up, chefs have worked hard, there's a big red envelope coming for you!"

"Alrighty! The dishes are coming!"

Immediately after, Shen Qiang and his people saw, amidst the rustling autumn wind, a large group of women wearing side-split qipaos, with seductive figures, began serving dishes.

Bianyi smiled and excitedly raised an eyebrow at Shen Qiang.

Shen Qiang, with a calm gaze, looked at the nearly a hundred kneeling disciples of the Long Yan Sword Sect and said, "All of you, cripple your cultivation and leave."

Upon hearing this, the thirty-something Big Brother became anxious, "Shen Qiang, you can't cripple our cultivation!"

Shen Qiang looked mildly surprised and said, "And why can't I? I'm keeping to the rules by sparing lives. As long as you leave your cultivation behind, you can leave here alive."

Bianyi seriously said, "Did you understand? My dear boss is being so merciful that he almost moves me to tears. He's offering you a way out, and you're still complaining. Isn't living a good thing?"

Upon hearing this, that Big Brother's eyes darted around, and he said anxiously, "Boss Shen Qiang, I beg you, don't cripple our cultivation. We can submit to the Shen family. How about being disciples for the Shen family? We know the Shen family is short of hands, we could follow you!"
