Chapter 1605 - 1608: The Alluring Mirage Qimeng
At the moment Shen Qiang said this, everyone in the room stared in horror at the crow perched on the girl's shoulder. The room was astonishingly quiet for a full three seconds before the black crow suddenly spoke."Young man, don't be too arrogant. The Twenty-Four Histories clearly say that clever but unrestrained people don't live long, so you better behave. If you want me to go to Sheng He, unless you can settle my goddess, don't dream about it."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang turned his gaze to the petite girl with the exquisite anklet on her snow-white ankle and asked, "Do you want to join Sheng He? It will be very interesting."
The masked girl smiled and said, "Is there a deadline for this invitation?"
Shen Qiang laughed, "Of course not, you are welcome anytime."
"Then I'll think about it. Once I've decided, I'll let you know." The petite girl said.
This statement made the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group sigh in relief because this was his biggest fear. If more than half of the members in the Illusion Demolition Group became members of Sheng He, the group would be merely nominal, and at that point, Shen Qiang rather than him would surely be the one calling the shots.
"Alright, Shen Qiang, we understand your intentions. You want to first confirm if there are other victims in Xiang Qianmeng's hands before killing him, and I support this. In the upcoming actions, if you need our help, I've decided to make an exception for you, and we'll assist you."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
"Yes, matters now are not just about killing. We need to prioritize ensuring the safety of the other victims. So in this situation, we don't have to stick close to the rules."
"I agree."
"No problem."
But just when they all expressed their willingness to help, Shen Qiang said exceptionally calmly, "Good, thank you very much for your cooperation. Then I hope when you are expelled by Xiang Qianmeng's people, you can act a bit reluctant."
In an instant, everyone was stunned: "Just like that?"
"Yes, if you leave here reluctantly, it will make him more certain that you are my allies. Then he will be very willing to keep me here, letting me watch him continue to do evil without being able to do anything." Shen Qiang said.
The leader of the Illusion Demolition Group frowned, "Shen Qiang, don't play with fire. He will certainly let you watch him do evil, and not only that, he will kill you after showing off his power. There is no suspense about that."
Everyone's expressions immediately became serious.
After all, it's common knowledge that Xiang Qianmeng might really, as Shen Qiang thought, use one brazen crime to retaliate against Shen Qiang. But then a cautious person like him definitely won't leave Shen Qiang any chance of survival.
"I would not joke with my life. If needed, I'll notify you, but you don't need to worry about other matters."
Looking calmly at Shen Qiang, the expressions of the members of the Illusion Demolition Group became extremely complex, yet they chose to remain silent as if telepathically.
Meanwhile, in the suite living room of another top hotel in the area, the alluring and graceful Mirage Qimeng sat calmly on the sofa.
In the room, besides her female assistant, there were two others.
One was tall and burly, and the other was a middle-aged woman with glasses and a square face, slightly plump.
"Tsk tsk, this Shen Qiang is truly a piece of work. I just wanted to watch the show, but Shen Qiang had to stir things up, causing Xiang Qianmeng to turn the heat on me." The burly man said, "Fifteen minutes ago, a Dao Fruit Stage cultivator with five Mixed Element Realm cultivators went to my place, leaving a message telling me to go on vacation and come back in a week."
Watching Mirage Qimeng quietly sipping tea, the burly man smiled, "Xiang Qianmeng not only brazenly threatens me but will also threaten others. So I assure you, by this afternoon at the latest, he'll bring people to expel all cultivators."
"And this once again proves my point, Shen Qiang is just a bastard! A Plague God! Wherever he goes, trouble follows. So, young miss, you better keep your distance from him."
Upon hearing this, the alluring Mirage Qimeng smiled slightly, then calmly placed her teacup on the coffee table and said, "I asked you to remind Xiang Qianmeng that Shen Qiang is going to mess with him, but instead, you not only failed to do so and got played by Shen Qiang, becoming the first cultivator Xiang Qianmeng targeted."
Looking icily at the burly man, Mirage Qimeng furrowed her brows and questioned, "Don't you get it? You've been played by Shen Qiang, and instead of strategizing, you're staunchly claiming he's a bastard. What do you want me to say?"
"That yes, he's a bastard, and you should go kill him?" Mirage Qimeng, raising an eyebrow, couldn't fathom Shen Qiang's true motive, her emotions slightly explosive, "Or do you want me, like a shrew, to stand here with you cursing him out?"
Seeing Mirage Qimeng apparently very angry, the burly man fell silent. The middle-aged woman with glasses beside him pushed her glasses and said solemnly, "Young miss, blaming him now won't help the situation."
"From all the messages we currently receive, it's evident that several sects and some small families, including the Kunlun Sword Sect, Long Chang, Golden Feather Sect, Wuya Island, Feiyun Castle, and Huoyun Mountain Villa, have already booked tickets to come here. If we consider those traveling by other means, the number of arriving cultivators could be even greater."
"So you must make a decision immediately because now, we have only two options: one is to immediately retreat to avoid being used by Shen Qiang, and the other is to be willing to be caught in Shen Qiang's fire, gather forces, and confront Xiang Qianmeng head-on."
"This is possible, but the problem is that among the cultivators coming to support us, their reputation in the Cultivation World is very good. Rashly opposing them seems to be of no benefit."
"What the hell is that bastard plotting?" Mirage Qimeng took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and then, looking at the middle-aged woman with glasses, said seriously, "You leave, don't clash with Xiang Qianmeng's people. I'll stay."
Upon hearing this, the burly man was taken aback and said urgently, "Young miss, this is too dangerous. Xiang Qianmeng is not a benevolent person. He's dramatic, and staying here would be dangerous!"
Sitting on the sofa, Mirage Qimeng laughed, her eyes alluring yet lazy as she said, "I can't sleep unless I figure out what that bastard Shen Qiang is really up to, so it's decided that way."
