After Heshenghe publicly spoke, the entire thread was silent for a long time. After this weird silence, a cultivator suddenly replied.

"Ahahahaha, this is hilarious! Come on, OP, take a good look. You have a great chance to get your magical treasure back. Go have a one-on-one duel with the Great Demon Ye Guyun! You don't even have to win, just surviving will be enough!"

This post instantly triggered a flood of replies from many cultivators.

"Hahaha, Shen Qiang isn't a fool. He obviously saved you, yet you don't appreciate it and come here acting pathetic, trying to turn the tables. If Shen Qiang gives back your magical treasures, who would he be but a complete fool?"

"Exactly, it's ridiculous. Turning indifferent, ignoring a life-saving grace, what a bunch of assholes! So what if he doesn't give them back to you? You don't want to acknowledge it was Shen Qiang who saved you? Fine then, go duel with the Great Demon Ye Guyun!"

"Dying of laughter over here. Even if you want to act ungrateful, you should at least weigh whether you have the strength to back it up. My friend returned from the Oasis, not only providing a detailed account of what happened, but also honoring Shen Qiang with a longevity plaque. I think he's a bit dumb, but at least his heart isn't bad, and he knows what gratitude is. If he were like you, haha, I wouldn't give him the time of day."

"Exactly, forget a life-saving grace and then slander Shen Qiang, you guys are really something else."

The sarcasm from many cultivators was straightforward and blunt.

But the few people who originally posted didn't make a sound.

Because in reality, this is the truth.

Whether they admit it or not, it was Shen Qiang who saved their lives, and not just that, those magical treasures were indeed the life money they gave to the Great Demon Ye Guyun. Now, Heshenghe publicly stated that Ye Guyun agreed to return them.

Yet they don't have the courage to face her again.

Seeing that the original posters were silent, and this thread about to end, an account named Kunlun Xiao Yi suddenly replied: "Hmph, regardless, Shen Qiang's strong-arming is still wrong. As people of justice, how can we stand by and do nothing? Don't be afraid, argue to the end! Our Kunlun Sword Sect will be your strongest backing."

His comment had just been posted.

Not even five seconds later.

Dozens of replies from many cultivators flooded in.

"Dying of laughter here, at a time like this, how dare the Kunlun Sword Sect say such a thing? Where's your runaway hero, Nie Yongsheng? Damn it, I used to think you were a respectable sect, reliable! And what happened? Your hero Nie Yongsheng bolted, while Shen Qiang bravely stepped up!"

"I didn't want to say anything, but this is intolerable. How can you be so shameless? Nie Yongsheng running away and leaving so many cultivators behind was one thing, but now you have the nerve to incite others against Shen Qiang?"

"I've seen shamelessness, but never to this extent. Compared to your runaway hero from Kunlun, even Shen Qiang's little toe is much more honorable."

"Right, in a time of crisis, it was Shen Qiang who stood up! Not your Kunlun Sword Sect!"

"Absolutely infuriating, what's this? Oh, no matter what Shen Qiang does, it's wrong. Everything you do is right? Huh, what's that supposed to mean? Do you think cultivators are idiots who can't see what you're up to?"

"Kunlun Sword Sect, give us an explanation. Your hero Nie Yongsheng running away in battle led to so many comrades dying, don't you feel any responsibility at all?"

Seeing this, the stunning mixed-blood Nalan Tianyu, who had tasted the exquisite cuisine of the Datong River, put down her phone, her beautiful eyes filled with brilliance as she looked at Shen Qiang and said: "Mr. Shen, justice resides in people's hearts. You don't need to mind what the cultivators say. At least regarding the Oasis Demon incident, I think you did very well."

Shen Qiang smiled, looking very seriously at the charming Nalan Tianyu, and said softly: "If you really think so, then it's best not to have any ideas about Heshenghe in the future, because you should know, I personally don't mind anything, it's all negotiable, but Heshenghe now involves the survival of too many people. So even if it's you, if any actions threaten Heshenghe, I won't show any mercy."

The softly laughing Nalan Tianyu, with her beautiful eyes shining brightly, looked at Shen Qiang and said, "You truly are an enigmatic man filled with mysterious power. In fact, before we went to the Oasis, someone told me that you are a more powerful Demon Slayer than I am."

"At that time, I didn't believe it, because I always thought there couldn't possibly be anyone more suitable for Demon Suppression than me in this world."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Because you are part of the Undying Phoenix Clan?"

At that moment, the stunning Nalan Tianyu was taken aback, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment, and she asked: "How could you possibly know about the Undying Phoenix Clan?"

Shen Qiang smiled and said: "I won't claim no demon can escape my sight, but if there are any, they're certainly rare, and you are clearly not among them."

Nalan Tianyu was stunned, and after hesitating for a long time, she whispered: "Do you think I'm a demon or a human?"

Shen Qiang smiled and calmly said: "Existence is justified. Creatures in this world are not just of one kind. Moreover, from my point of view, the Undying Phoenix Clan should be a mix of half-demon, half-god. You possess great power, but your time alive is still too short, and you haven't truly unleashed the power your bloodline gives you. You'll become very strong, very powerful, and to be realistic, right now you're stronger than me."

Nalan Tianyu giggled: "Suddenly, your words feel a bit sarcastic. After all, I lost. If it weren't for your help, the Oasis Wilderness would have been my burial ground. Now you're saying I'm stronger than you, it feels like a joke."

Shen Qiang looked at her very seriously, his eyes incredibly clear.

"Before you came over, the biggest difference between us, Heshenghe, and the Taming Department is that your task is to chase down the demons that harm society, while mine is to manage those who want a peaceful life. I just need to give them stability, and they won't harm others."

"So the roles are different, as well as the responsibilities."

Looking at the stunned Nalan Tianyu, Shen Qiang smiled and said: "If a group of heinous demons stood in front of me, I think besides killing them, I wouldn't have a better way to save them. But you are different. You can transform them into a barrier that protects Huaxia's safety. So let's both work hard. On the day when there are no more demons causing trouble, we'll have our answer to who is truly stronger between us."

Watching Shen Qiang's deliberately serious gaze, Nalan Tianyu squinted with laughter, stood up: "Shen Qiang, I know you're encouraging me, afraid I'd get discouraged. Don't worry, I won't lose to you. Next time we meet, I'll definitely surprise you."

After saying this, Nalan Tianyu turned and left. In Shen Qiang's observing gaze, she dragged along the twin-tailed girl, who was already so full she couldn't move, but still rivaled Ye Guyun in fighting spirit, whining for someone to help her up, saying she could still eat more. She turned back to Shen Qiang with a smile: "Don't let me down either, because I don't like weaklings."
