The Dragon Group spokesman's statement instantly silenced all the Cultivation bigwigs active in the forum, and even the loose cultivators stopped replying.

Five whole minutes passed without anyone speaking in the forum, as a strange and mysterious atmosphere spread.

"Three hundred Great Demons! I'm scared to death; only Shen Qiang in the Cultivation World can handle them. I doubt anyone else would be up to the task!"

When this post, laced with an air of cuteness and mockery, appeared, the forum instantly regained its liveliness.

"Hahaha, oh my god, over three hundred Great Demons gathering! Forget second-rate sects, even top-notch sects wouldn't dare go forward and test their might. One wrong move and it could mean annihilation."

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable! Three hundred Great Demons gathering together, I think it's better not to go to the Provincial City."

"Scared me stiff. Thirteen years ago, I was lucky enough to participate in a hunt for a single, fairly ordinary demon that was only at the Nascent Soul Stage. Even so, we lost three Nascent Soul Masters and had several injured. Three hundred Great Demons? Allow me to say this: give up. Apart from Shen Qiang, anyone else would just be their meal."

The responses from many loose cultivators in the forum were full of mockery.

But the bigwigs felt very awkward.

Especially the Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect, a top-tier sect, who found himself in an extremely embarrassing position.

This was a man of true stature. Without the Dragon Group's context, he was practically at the pinnacle of the Cultivation World.

But thinking about more than three hundred Great Demons gathering made his scalp tingle. To him, demons had always been tools to aide in their pursuit of justice and chivalry.

Demon suppression, demon slaying, enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven—aren't these the favorite activities of every cultivator?

Yet now, knowing clearly that there were three hundred Great Demons together...

Well, he was dumbfounded.

If you have even a bit of sense, any cultivator would know it would be suicide to go to Dinghao Hotel in the Provincial City, show off in front of Shen Qiang, and try to make those Great Demons submit.

Even for the Kunlun Sword Sect, it was impossible.

Years of enforcing justice had simply made them an eyesore to demons, a thorn in their flesh. Meeting would definitely lead to a fight.

To show off and gain the title of Dragon Group's Security Advisor, provoking three hundred Great Demons?

You'd have to be an utter moron to pull something like that.

However, staying silent felt like losing face, as the Dragon Group's statement was a slap in the face.

The Dragon Group had basically made it clear: whoever can make those three hundred Great Demons submit could become the Dragon Group's Security Advisor. Unfortunately, aside from Shen Qiang, no one in the entire Cultivation World had the ability or even the courage to confront these three hundred Great Demons.

"Three hundred Great Demons gathered together is truly terrifying. We righteous cultivators must unite to eradicate these demons and uphold the path of justice."

The post from the Kunlun Sword Sect's Sect Leader immediately received responses from many bigwigs.

"Indeed, these three hundred Great Demons together are too horrifying. Only by eradicating them completely can we follow the righteous path."

"Yes, the Kunlun Sect Leader's perspective is truly insightful, as expected from a leader in the Cultivation World!"

"Absolutely, the Sect Leader is truly righteous. When it comes to demons, there must be no mercy."

With these replies, the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader felt he'd regained some face, and arrogantly made a self-righteous supplement in his post.

"Times may change, but our passion remains. If all in the Cultivation World were righteous, small demons would be nothing to fear."

Right after these words, the heads of several second-rate families hurried to flatter him in their replies.

"Well said, Sect Leader. If everyone worked together, these mere few hundred demons would be just a disorganized mob. But regrettably, there are few like you with such chivalric courage."

"Indeed, if everyone could be like the Sect Leader, upholding demon suppression as their core duty, how could the Cultivation World be overrun by demons?"

The Kunlun Sword Sect Leader felt immensely pleased with himself and seemed to forget the earlier embarrassment caused by the Dragon Group.

But just as he smugly pressed F5 to refresh the post, his face instantly turned dark.

"I am Shen Qiang. It's rare to see a righteous gentleman like the Kunlun Sword Sect's Sect Leader nowadays. I just happen to be interviewing those three hundred Great Demons tomorrow. Why don't you come? Isn't the Kunlun Sword Sect a top-tier sect? Don't you want to suppress demons and uphold justice? Come and help me gauge their strength. A fight will give me a good understanding."

Instantly, the onlookers in the forum post fell into an eerie silence.

The atmosphere was beyond awkward.

While Shen Qiang's words seemed calm, it was no less than a slap to the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader's face in front of everyone.

The Kunlun Sword Sect Leader couldn't tolerate such mockery under so many prying eyes.

He immediately replied, "If you want to die, no problem. I'll satisfy you. A mere few hundred demons are nothing to me."

"Then come tomorrow at 8 AM. I love seeing righteousness battle against demons." Shen Qiang's reply was straightforward.

The enraged Kunlun Sword Sect Leader replied, "It's too late to book a flight now. We have plenty of time for this."

Shen Qiang replied, "Haha, why book a flight? I'll arrange a charter. One plane not enough, two planes, two not enough, three. Heshenghe isn't short on money. As long as you dare come, we can forget about delaying this for some other time. Come now if you want to."

Seeing this, the onlookers in the post had their eyes shining, eagerly anticipating the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader to lead a fury-driven battle against the three hundred demons. To their shock, moments later, the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader's forum avatar turned black, indicating offline status.

Instantly, the forum replies exploded.

"Holy crap, show some courage! Shen Qiang's even offering you a charter. Why go offline now?"

"A mere three hundred demons, aren't they nothing to Kunlun's Leader?"

"Haha, Heshenghe is mighty, no explanation needed."

And right after the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader went offline and silent.

Shen Qiang mentioned (@) everyone who previously clamored to be the Security Advisor or clearly stated their support for eradicating demons and upholding justice. He asked them one by one: "I'm interviewing them tomorrow. Can you help me test their strength? I'll arrange charters for you."

The result was that, upon facing Shen Qiang's questioning, one by one, these bigwigs went offline. None of them explicitly expressed their willingness to come.

This left Shen Qiang very disappointed, prompting him to make a new post on the forum.

"Heshenghe always welcomes challenges, with or without reason. I've seen plenty of demons, ghosts, and monsters. Just a few braggarts who only talk big don't make a difference."
