Half an hour later, in the woods by the river outside a city suburb 4S shop.

Shen Qiang had just stored his newly purchased small four-wheel drive off-road vehicle into his Storage Ring and then got on a nearby business van.

After the door closed, he patted the back of Xiu Ju's hand, then smiled at Feifei, a large-eyed beautiful Demon who looked at him with puzzled eyes from inside the van, and a somewhat goofy big black dog spirit. He calmly said, "You have already joined Sheng He, you are members of Sheng He, and the company will arrange lodging, meals, rooms, WiFi, and everything else you desire."

"But at the same time, the company's position is also facing challenges," Shen Qiang said while leaning back in his seat, "So I hope you understand that if the company's position is shaken and can't make money, then the company simply has no ability to provide any protection for you, nor can it afford any favorable treatments."

"So perk up and catch that lawless guy under our watch; make it clear to all the demons that this is our Sheng He territory, and without our permission, no demon can do anything in Provincial City."

The big black dog's eyes flashed blue: "Don't worry, boss, I will work very hard."

Shen Qiang laughed and, looking at the Ancient Beast Feifei, said, "Feifei, you once said that your special skill is uncovering other people's secrets. So starting now, you two will team up and start investigating; after finding that person, I will reward you with a super smooth internet Divine Artifact and upgrade your dormitory's net bandwidth to a dedicated 100 megabytes, plus fit your room with the highest quality bedding to make your stay in the company very comfortable."

She immediately nodded vigorously: "I'll do it well."

"Go then," Shen Qiang gestured for Xiu Ju to open the door.

The two of them got out of the car, then got into a very ordinary black sedan previously from Long Yan Sword Sect.

Then they left.

After they had gone.

Inside the car, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing looked at Shen Qiang incredulously and said, "Are you really that confident, not planning to follow them and see?"

Sitting in the car, Shen Qiang watched the falling leaves by the riverside and said calmly, "When the company was little, I didn't manage it; now that it's grown, I still prefer not to, because if I had to manage it, the matters would be so many that even if I had thirty-eight hours in a day, I wouldn't be able to handle them."

"So you just have to trust them now?" Xiu Ju said: "They don't seem very competent, at least not as oppressive as the guy who demanded fifty million."

Shen Qiang chuckled and said, "One's energy is limited, no one can do several things at once, and compared to the growth of Sheng He, I value our own strength enhancement more."

Xiu Ju smiled, "Are you going to practice Cultivation?"

Shen Qiang shook his head and said, "That Feifei is an ancient beast, she says her specialty is discovering others' secrets. That big black dog, according to its biological instincts, should also be adept in tracking people or objects, so let's let them try it out; meanwhile, we could assess their capabilities."

Xiu Ju said in surprise, "Are we conducting a separate investigation?"

Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows and replied, "It's necessary. Now, people in the Cultivation World call me King of Demons. We just wiped out Long Yan Sword Sect, Heshenghe, Cheng Xinyi, and Long Chang, all of them trying to get in favor with us. So on the surface, it looks like we have taken control of the Cultivation World scenario in Provincial City."

"But in reality? Our cultivators are good, but so far, we have only added seven demons, and among these seven demons, the only real combat expert is that birdman. In such a scenario, if some other demon commits atrocities in Provincial City and remains unpunished, it's a huge mockery to us."

"By then, everyone in the Cultivation World would think I, Shen Qiang, along with Sheng He are just a paper tiger.""

Xiu Ju raised her eyebrows and replied, "The Dragon Group has already started investigating, and Feifei along with that big black dog have also begun to take action, you've done what you could, don't overburden yourself, some things are better left to develop naturally."

Shen Qiang smiled: "You know I like beautiful women, but I don't like women who are killed. That bastard is too arrogant, having killed someone isn't enough for him, he even placed the body by the riverside to boast about his ability, aiming to showcase his work to the world and mock those trying to capture him."

"So that guy is very arrogant." Xiu Ju evaluated with raised eyebrows.

Checking his watch, Shen Qiang fell silent for a moment then said, "How are the investigations going that I asked you to conduct?""

Xiu Ju replied, "I checked various forums related to dance in both University City and Provincial City and carried out some investigations. In fact, dancers in Provincial City who are between 190-192 cm tall and meet your criteria are only two people."

"One is a dance teacher at the National Dance Academy, Li Junliang, another is a dancer from the Provincial Song and Dance Ensemble, Shen Quan, but neither of them are cultivators nor Great Demons; they simply don't have the ability to do such things."

Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing said, "Actually, I still think the Dragon Group would do it better because they are more professional."

Xiu Ju smiled and said, "But demons can more easily find their kind than ordinary people; moreover, the world of demons is purer than that of cultivators, similar to how dogs urinate to mark their territory or mature male bears do not allow other male bears within their territory."

"So, that guy is actually challenging me." Shen Qiang said with raised eyebrows: "A mountain cannot harbor two tigers, he might be dissatisfied with my title of King of Demons, or he might just want to compete with me, or perhaps he is simply showing off his strength."

"But that does not matter, what's important is, six more girls are missing, which means this is just the beginning, and if we can't find him soon, he will continue to kill and place bodies out there, mocking us."

"So, we cannot place all our hopes on the Dragon Group or on Feifei because one's greatest reliance is always oneself."

Hearing this, Xiu Ju picked up a laptop, looked at it, and said, "I checked that girl's Weibo; she is no different from an ordinary girl, her personal profile states that she likes traveling, gastronomy, music, and movies."

"Check where she has been recently?" Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows.

Xiu Ju replied, "Her last trip was a month ago when she came to Provincial City from her hometown."

Shen Qiang fell silent for a moment, took the laptop from Xiu Ju, then looked at the girl's profile page and suggested, "The dance community in Provincial City doesn't match up, so do you think this person could be involved in the music or film industry instead?"
