Hearing the chairman of Long Yan Group's words, the other two people in the office immediately agreed.

"Indeed, Sect Leader, give the command. The Dragon Group just visited Shen Qiang, and he has clearly stated that he won't leave Provincial City. We gave them a deadline to act one week later, so they definitely haven't sensed the danger yet."

"War does not disdain deceit, attacking now is indeed the perfect opportunity!"

Hearing the two of them agree.

The chairman of Long Yan Group, with bright and expectant eyes, looked at the elder behind the large desk.

However, to their surprise, the elder's gaze was not at all excited; it was rather cold.

"Shen Qiang is not as simple as you imagine, and Shen's Holding is not as vulnerable as you think," he said.

The Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect looked at them coldly and said, "According to the reports sent back by our people, the originally few cultivators of Shen's had suddenly started to band together, and we can no longer see any Shen's cultivators acting alone."

"Not only that. Since the people from the Dragon Group visited Shen's, those several mysterious powerhouses staying at the Dinghao Hotel started to openly show themselves. Led by Miss Chu Qing, whose cultivation we cannot make sense of, there are five individuals with a cultivation at least above the Mixed Element Realm, wandering aimlessly and without any pattern among Shen's Holding, Kiduobao, Datong River, and Tianyou Medicine."

"This clearly shows they are guarding against us."

Looking at the astonished chairman of Long Yan Group, the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect said solemnly, "If you think now is a good opportunity to make a move, I must say, you are simplifying the matter too much. Shen Qiang is not an ordinary person; he won't be fooled by such tricks of feinting one way and striking another."

The other four were silent for a moment.

One of them then said, "Sect Leader, even if those five are strong, after all, there are only five people. If we put forth our full strength, they won't be a match for our Long Yan Sword Sect."

Hearing this, the chairman of Long Yan Group immediately perked up and said, "Sect Leader, even if they are all strong, there are only five of them, and they won't stand a chance against us in a direct confrontation. So we really don't have to fear them."

The Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect, with a face as still as water, said solemnly, "Never mind the powerhouses of Mixed Element Realm, even to train an ordinary disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage, our Long Yan Sword Sect needs a decade or two."

"Look at Shen's now, the number of their cultivators is less than one-tenth of ours."

"But their cultivation level, none of them are weak."

"Apart from those four unknown strong individuals, Shen's holds two powerhouses above Mixed Element Realm, two Yang God Realm experts, one Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, three Golden Core Stage cultivators, and that includes possibly dangerous Jing Xiangwei, the young miss of the Jing Family."

Hearing this, the chairman of Long Yan Group laughed proudly and said, "Sect Leader, since you already understand the situation, you must realize that Shen's in front of us is very weak; altogether, they only have eight people. It would be a piece of cake for us to dispose of them."

"Is that really so?" The Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect said coldly, "That's only the appearance. Now, with the addition of those four strong individuals, Shen Qiang's subordinates have six Mixed Element Realm powerhouses, two Yang God Realm experts, one Nascent Soul, and three Golden Core cultivators."

"Furthermore, in Shen's bun shop, there's Jing Xiangwei, the young mistress of the Jing Family, who might directly turn against us."

"And our Long Yan Sword Sect, how many powerhouses do we currently have in Provincial City? Only seven of Mixed Element Realm!"

Hearing this, the chairman of Long Yan Group said very discontentedly, "Seven against six, that's almost a guaranteed victory."

The Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect raised his eyebrows and said, "Currently, Shen's Holding only has eight people in total, and among them, the weakest in Cultivation Realm are Shen Qiang, Shen Bian, and Lan Yong."

"Lan Yong is accompanied by Nascent Soul cultivator Wu Zhaoyang at Tianyou Medicine, Shen Bian is within Shen's Holding company, his side features Yang God Realm cultivator Kong Richeng and another Yang God Realm cultivator, the beautiful heroic thief Jiang Hanyang, while Shen Qiang is accompanied by the Mixed Element Realm high-level female master Xiu Ju; apart from these three groups, the remaining Shen's group includes the beautiful Miss Chu Qing and four untraced, totaling five people, who are all strong individuals of Mixed Element Realm."

"Now tell me how you plan to kill them?"

The Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect raised his eyebrows looking at the chairman of Long Yan Group.

The chairman of Long Yan Group said coldly, "It's simply too easy; we can send Yang God Realm and Yin God Realm masters to kill Lan Yong and Wu Zhaoyang."

The moment he heard this, the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect looked at him with a contemptuous expression and bluntly said, "It seems the way Shen Qiang disregarded you outside the hall door affected your self-esteem too drastically. If you can't calm down and consider the issues seriously, you better not continue as chairman."

Looking puzzled, the chairman of Long Yan Group saw the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect raise his eyebrows and say, "Have you forgotten the story of Tian Ji's horse racing? Even now, if we aim to kill the apparently weakest, Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong, and send Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators, it's not a guaranteed win."

"Even if we send many, if the Cultivation Realms are similar, then in a desperate fight, the best outcome would only be to exchange our men for Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong, because in similar realms, to forcefully kill them would definitely come at a cost."

The chairman of Long Yan Group frowned and said, "We can send stronger ones."

The Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect raised his eyebrows and said, "Which stronger ones? I assure you, as soon as our people appear in front of Shen's cultivators, the others will be immediately informed. If we send Mixed Element Realm powerhouses, the informed Shen's powerhouses will certainly abandon Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong."

"Because they surely won't be able to arrive in time and save them."

"And that would be just fine," said the chairman of Long Yan Group with bright eyes. "We can have our powerhouses kill Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong first, then kill Shen Bian, followed by Shen Qiang, and finally take down those five strong individuals."

Hearing this, the face of the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect immediately darkened, and he said angrily, "No wonder the company has been making less money in recent years. You really shouldn't be the chairman; your stupidity is astonishing."

"A cornered rabbit will bite, a desperate dog will leap over a wall! Shen Qiang understands better than anyone that they are far less powerful than us overall; that's why he has divided his people into four small groups, precisely to play the game of Tian Ji's horse racing with us!"
