Do not offend others unless they offend you, but if they do, eliminate them root and stem!

This was Shen Qiang's way of handling things, and also his personal philosophy.

Conflicts of pride could be settled amicably, as long as too much wasn't lost, Shen Qiang would usually quit while he was ahead and not ruthlessly pursue the matter to the bitter end.

However, once his bottom line was crossed, Shen Qiang would show not the slightest mercy.

Life-extending Hall, one of the two major medical families in Provincial City, was as renowned as Shen Qiang's own family clinic.

After Shen Qiang had used the Lesser Plum Blossom Needle Technique to intimidate the Zhong Family, they not only instigated a bone setting competition with He Fatty against Shen Qiang but also sent an assailant from the Yin Soul Realm, a level higher than the Nascent Soul Stage, in an attempt to kill Shen Qiang.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of a puppet expert, who was implementing the newcomer protection plan, Shen Qiang would have already been reduced to ashes.

This sealed the fate of any possibility of reconciliation between Shen Qiang and Life-extending Hall!

Shen Qiang couldn't commit the atrocity of slaughtering indiscriminately—be it right or wrong, the young or old, the weak or women—not everyone can stay.

After all, not all members of a family are bad, and it's not certain that everyone in Life-extending Hall was involved in the plot against Shen Qiang.

Therefore, Shen Qiang wouldn't kill everyone in Life-extending Hall.

But the foundation of a medical family lies in its clinic.

What Shen Qiang needed to do was to smash their livelihood, to destroy their very foundation.

Before long, the so-called medical family would fall into decline.

He woke up, ate breakfast, and changed his clothes.

After dressing himself neatly, Shen Qiang called for the puppet clothing expert.

Man does not mean to harm the tiger, but the tiger harbors thoughts of harming man.

Even a cornered rabbit will bite; let alone a medical family from the Cultivation World. To ensure a successful mission, it was essential to bring along Xiu Ju from the Dark Department.

With her presence, it was like having an additional layer of insurance.

Descending the stairs, Shen Qiang had just reached the entrance.

Not only was Zhong Yongxi there, but the Zhong Family's patriarch, Zhong Jixiang, was also standing downstairs with respectful decorum.

Moreover, following behind them was an orderly row of robust men dressed uniformly in navy blue mandarin-collar casual suits, exuding an aura unique to cultivators. One glance was enough to take in their fierce presence.

"Uncle-Master, your car is ready," said the Zhong Family patriarch, stepping aside respectfully.

Someone beside him opened the door to a stretch luxury limousine.

Shen Qiang frowned.

In fact, Shen Qiang had never wished to have the slightest involvement with the Zhong Family.

Yet, under these circumstances, it would seem unduly unsympathetic to leave without another word.

"Uncle-Master, please get in the car," said Zhong Yongxi with zeal in his eyes.

Looking at Zhong Yongxi's fanatical gaze, Shen Qiang also felt a bit helpless.

This guy had turned into an ardent fan of Shen Qiang after being taught a lesson by him.

No matter how much Shen Qiang ignored him, he still respectfully showed up every day. Today was Wednesday, the day he had agreed to challenge the Life-extending Hall. After all, saying he was going to challenge them was a clear intention to smash Life-extending Hall's signboard, and there was nothing wrong with having a large group to back him up.

Moreover, the two medical halls in Provincial City.

Once the Life-extending Hall fell, the one that would benefit the most, without a doubt, would be the Zhong Family Medical Hall.

So, having them temporarily act as his subordinates was no issue at all.

Taking the mannequin clothing expert to the car,

Looking at this formation, she asked with some curiosity, "Boss, what are we going to do?"

Shen Qiang looked at her with a smile, then after a moment of silence he said, "Challenge them, smash their signboard because they sent people to ambush me in the abandoned warehouse at the logistics center a while ago."

Hearing this, the mannequin clothing expert stayed silent, but a trace of disdain unintentionally flashed through her eyes.

"Life-extending Hall? Is it worth making such a big fuss?"

At this moment, the great hall of the Life-extending Hall in the East District was already full of people.

"What audacity Shen Qiang has! To be so contemptuous, not only does he brazenly want to challenge us, but he also dares to boldly declare he'll smash our Life-extending Hall's signboard. Our province's twenty-six medical families are united; how could we possibly let him run wild!"

"Exactly! Although Shen Qiang's acupuncture technique is exceptional, he cannot bully others with his power!"

"When I saw Shen Qiang's 'Flowers Opening Nine Branches' technique, I was astounded, thinking he was a remarkable person. I didn't expect him to be someone so unreasonable and domineering. Well then, I have no choice but to stand up for justice!"

Hearing their words,

The Hall Master of Life-extending Hall said with delighted eyes, "Ah, our Life-extending Hall has always been non-confrontational. I didn't expect to encounter someone as unreasonable as Shen Qiang. Relying on his decent acupuncture technique and the backing of the Zhong Family Medical Hall, he is arrogant and domineering."

"Now, he specifically wants to bully our Life-extending Hall. If we don't unite and suppress his arrogant momentum now, the ones who will suffer next will definitely be those present."

Hearing the Hall Master's words, a middle-aged man in his forties slammed his palm down fiercely and said, "That's right, there are rules for challenging a hall. Winning and proving his medical skill is strong is already enough. They say kill but don't overkill; he even wants to smash your Life-extending Hall's signboard? Such a person doesn't need us to talk about righteousness with him. When he comes later, we'll swarm him and beat him crippled, let's see if he still dares to be arrogant!"

"Sigh... Although this approach might seem dishonorable, we have to do it to prevent other fellow cultivators from suffering in the future. Our Life-extending Hall has no choice but to do so," the Hall Master of the Life-extending Hall sighed with feigned regret. "Even if we're ridiculed by our peers for it, we absolutely cannot let someone as arrogant as Shen Qiang go unchecked."

Hearing this, a few people nodded, but most of those present fell silent.

The Hall Master of Life-extending Hall, sensing the atmosphere was clearly not as enthusiastic as he had hoped for and not having reached his intended goal, quickly changed tack and sighed, "Ah, this Shen Qiang is not only arrogant, but also ruthless. Not long ago, the Bone Setting heir of the He family died after contesting with him, undoubtedly poisoned by Shen Qiang."

Smack!

Upon hearing this, a man around fifty, who bore some resemblance to He Fatty, crushed the cup in his hand.

While everyone looked on in surprise, the Hall Master of Life-extending Hall said, "Gentlemen, this is the head of the He family's Bone Setting lineage, and the father of the young friend who was poisoned by Shen Qiang."

At these words, those present looked on in astonishment.

Then, someone sighed and said, "Condolences."

In the oppressive atmosphere of the hall, He Fatty's father, his eyes brimming with tears and a chill in his gaze, didn't say a word.

This left many who wanted to offer words of comfort not knowing how to begin.

Seeing the scene, the Hall Master of Life-extending Hall sighed with feigned posture, "The heir of the He family had exceptional talent, a warm heart, and a spirit of chivalry. But his kind-heartedness didn't allow him to see that Shen Qiang was a ruthless and treacherous villain."

"But fear not, He Head, as long as Shen Qiang dares to come today, our Life-extending Hall will surely help you avenge this killing of your son!"

Upon hearing these words, He Fatty's father, who had crushed the teacup in his hand, shouted tearfully and with a fierce gaze, "If today's vengeance for my son's death is not avenged, I swear I am not human!"
