Chapter 1839 - 1842: Intolerable Bullying
Chapter 1839 - 1842: Intolerable Bullying
"Want to fight?" The Kunlun Sword Sect Leader's gaze was fierce and ecstatic as he stared at Shen Qiang, while the surrounding cultivators visiting the Elixir Pill Conference were already scared out of their wits.Earlier, they were slowly and quietly retreating, but now they abruptly scattered.
"Oh heavens, they're all super experts at the Dao Fruit Stage, the big boss of Heshenghe and the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader. If these immortals fight, let's not get caught in the crossfire."
"Shen Qiang is mighty! But... I should run quickly. With my level of strength, getting caught in their battle would mean instant death!"
"I'm out, I'm out! If I don't leave now and they mistake me for one of their own, I'm dead for sure."
As many cultivators scattered, within the exhibition hall, Zi, Ke Bizhu, Ye Guyun, and the tall swordsman Ji Wei also emerged, standing coldly behind Shen Qiang.
"Winning against greater numbers isn't impossible. I just need fifteen more seconds for my anthrax bacteria to take effect, then I can take them out immediately," Shen Qiang calculated coldly.
The Kunlun Sword Sect Leader, however, was thinking calmly, "This is Medicine King Valley's territory. If a fight breaks out, there would only be about five seconds to kill Shen Qiang before Medicine King Valley intervenes. So if I move, it has to be a sure strike!"
Just as both sides were on edge, ready to explode like a powder keg,
Shen Qiang's phone rang.
As soon as he heard the ringtone, Shen Qiang knew it was Bianyi.
With a cold gaze at the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader, Shen Qiang opened a True Essence Barrier to prevent others from hearing his conversation, and connected the call with True Essence.
"Oh! My dear boss! You look so cool when you're angry!" Bianyi's laugh was full of teasing.
Shen Qiang coldly said, "If it's nothing important, I'm hanging up."
"Wait, wait!" In the Heshenghe Group's CEO office, watching the computer livestream, Bianyi sat up straight and said, "I'm calling to remind you of something important. I just met with the Third Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion yesterday."
"You know, after the last incident, the Pavilion Master of Qingyun Sword Pavilion has stepped down, and the new Pavilion Master hasn't been chosen, so basically, the Third Elder is in charge, and he's very interested in the merger of Qingyun Sword Pavilion and Qingyun Sword Hall."
"So, if you can get a big order at the Elixir Pill Conference this time, proving our financial strength and potential, then we'll have the initiative in this merger matter."
"After all, Kang Luoying is in Heshenghe, and the Qingyun Sword is in Heshenghe. But if you go to the Elixir Pill Conference and achieve nothing and cause a big fight, losing troops and resources, even if it succeeds, it would just be us handing Qingyun Sword Hall back to them."
"You must understand that it's not just Qingyun Sword Pavilion and us that can't afford to delay, we can't afford it either. Don't forget about your demon subordinates who died in the battle. What we should do now is not act like a brute and fight whoever comes our way, but take advantage while these bastards in the cultivation world aren't aware of how strong we'll become and expand rapidly."
"So, don't fight! You must understand, you're there to make money, to showcase your talent in the medical field, you need large orders and sufficient financial resources to help Heshenghe move further, and with a strong backing, we can then strike at their sect's treasures."
Toot!
The call ended, and Bianyi was anxious: "Hey, hey hey! Shen Qiang, you bastard!"
Just as Bianyi was yelling,
the Medicine King Valley Master's hearty voice rang out in the exhibition hall: "I've long heard that the Kunlun Sword Sect and Heshenghe admire each other. Seeing it today, it's indeed the case. We're all part of the cultivation world, there's nothing that can't be discussed over a cup of tea. Come, come to my study. I have some fine Lingyun Bai Hao, isn't it great to brew a pot?"
Hearing this, the tense demeanor of the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader immediately relaxed, as he understood that Medicine King Valley is no ordinary sect, and with the Valley Master here, forcibly taking action would break a major taboo.
So, he smiled upon hearing this and said, "Lingyun Bai Hao, I naturally want to try it, but this is a grand event held every three years. If I don't look around, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?"
Upon hearing this,
the Medicine King Valley Master looked at Shen Qiang and said, "And what about Mr. Shen?"
With a slight sigh, Shen Qiang quietly removed the anthrax bacteria.
"I appreciate the Valley Master's kind offer, but such a grand event is rare, introducing Heshenghe's elixirs to fellow cultivators is what I should do."
Seeing both men give him, the host, face, the Medicine King Valley Master nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Why not move it to the evening then? If you're available, come and have tea." With that, he turned around.
The smile on the Medicine King Valley Master's face vanished instantly, and he coldly glanced out of the corner of his eye in the direction of the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader.
Seeing the situation, the many cultivators who had scattered in fright finally relaxed.
"What a close call, I broke out in a sweat. If these Dao Fruit Stage experts had fought, I'd have no chance to escape!"
"Truly terrifying, I've always envied Shen Qiang's good luck, from a penniless guy to becoming a major player in the cultivation world. I even dreamed that if it were me, I could do it too. But seeing the current situation, without audacious courage, being a big shot is impossible. Just now, I almost had a heart attack."
"Indeed, it's not easy being a big shot. If a real fight had broken out, there'd be no need for the Elixir Pill Conference anymore."
And just when everyone thought the matter was over,
they were astonished to see a Daoist boy following the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader take a chair out of his Qiankun Bag and place it next to Shen Qiang's exhibition stand.
Then, the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader arrogantly sat down in the chair, crossed his legs, and a little Daoist boy beside him handed him a thermos cup.
Receiving the thermos cup, the Kunlun Sect Leader smiled and said, "Shen Qiang, you said earlier that Heshenghe has already blacklisted the Kunlun Sword Sect, and without your approval, won't sell us any elixirs. Well, now I declare that Heshenghe has been personally blacklisted by me, and anyone who places orders with Heshenghe will be my enemy."
In an instant, everyone present was stunned.
At this moment, the many cultivators from small sects who had been following the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader saw this and couldn't miss the chance to flatter him.
"That's right, anyone who places orders with Heshenghe is also an enemy of our Liuyuan Sword Sect!"
"The Lubei Han family is in too!"
"Jingjie Sect won't let him go either!"
Seeing so many sects stating their positions, the cultivator who was just about to confirm an order and wanted to buy some Gathering Qi Powder trembled, dropping his pen. Then, he awkwardly looked at the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, nervously said, "Sorry, I just remembered I have something else to do."
With that, he didn't even dare to look at Shen Qiang, didn't dare to lift his head, and slipped away along the wall by the exhibition stand.
