Upon hearing the Long Yan Sword Sect Leader's words full of pride and superiority masked as modesty, the other four immediately offered flattery.

"Sect Leader, you are too modest; it seems you've overestimated that Shen Qiang."

"Hahaha, Sect Leader is indeed overly humble. If Sect Leader had taken notice of that little nobody Shen Qiang earlier, he wouldn't have survived until now."

"Exactly, our Sect Leader's talents and strategies are unrivaled; In front of our Sect Leader, that Shen Qiang is no more than an insect that can be crushed at will."

Listening to their flattering words, the countenance of the Long Yan Sword Sect's Leader grew even more complacent, then he said, "Not only will our Great Elder come out of seclusion in a week's time, but the Mixed Element Realm experts scattered across different regions will rush back here. I have also specially invited some allies of our Long Yan Sword Sect to lend us a hand."

"It's already confirmed that, in a week, roughly a dozen Mixed Element Realm experts will come to Provincial City to assist us."

"With that, at that time, our Long Yan Sword Sect alone will have over thirty powerful individuals above the Mixed Element Realm. At that point, even if Shen Qiang grows three heads and six arms, he will definitely meet his death!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the chairman of Long Yan Group lit up with excitement, he said, "Once Shen Qiang dies, all his assets will inevitably fall into our hands. With that, our Long Yan Sword Sect will flourish, and perhaps in ten years, we could become a first-class sect in the Cultivation World."

"Of course, the assets under Shen Qiang's name are currently worth no less than thirty billion. With such a large sum of money, it would be difficult for our Long Yan Sword Sect not to rise."

"Indeed, especially that Streptococcus Liquid, it's incredibly awesome. All those arrogant foreigners are so mighty, but when they see the Streptococcus Liquid, they humbly come to Shen Qiang. Once we get our hands on it, we'll be the ones in a powerful position."

With a slight smile, the Long Yan Sword Sect Leader said, "After Shen Qiang has no place to hide and dies, all his possessions will naturally become ours. I'm getting old, and being over seventy years old, I don't have much interest in wealth anymore."

"So, once we get Shen Qiang's assets, I will hand over his industries for you to manage."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the four of them lit up.

And just at that moment, the Long Yan Sword Sect Leader shifted the topic with an indifferent tone, "But in my lifetime, although I have had seven wives, none of them were both beautiful and possessed high cultivation. So, if we can capture that beautiful Miss Chu Qing alive, or that Xiu Ju who frequently accompanies Shen Qiang, I will marry them and let them amuse me in bed."

Hearing this, the Long Yan Group chairman's eyes sparkled, he eagerly praised, "Sect Leader indeed has a good eye. That Miss Chu Qing has a graceful figure, stunning face, noble temperament, and her cultivation is high indeed. She is truly a rare gem among millions, an exceptional beauty."

"And as for Xiu Ju, although her looks may not compare to Miss Chu Qing, she has fair skin, well-proportioned features, and her cultivation has reached the Mixed Element Realm. She is also a rare beauty to behold."

"So please rest assured, Sect Leader; in a week, with our overwhelming numbers, capturing those two beauties will be as easy as reaching out our hands. I will personally deliver them to the Sect Leader at that time."

The Long Yan Sword Sect Leader, hearing this, nodded proudly, "Good, then I will entrust this matter to you."

"Rest assured, Sect Leader, it will be done!"

"Congratulations Sect Leader, these two women are as good as in your pocket."

"The Sect Leader truly keeps his edge undulled."

In the vast office, five people were getting more and more excited as they spoke.

Just then, a knock suddenly came from the door.

"Come in," the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect said.

Following his voice, a middle-aged woman around forty, dressed as a secretary, pushed open the door. Her eyes swept over the four people sitting on the sofa, her expression looking hesitant.

Sitting behind the huge desk, the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect frowned and said, "Speak up, there's no need to hold back. They're not strangers."

Hearing this, the middle-aged secretary said, "Sect Leader, Xu Nan from Wanxin Hesheng, Bai Jiao from Cheng Xinyi, and the seventh young master of the Ji Family, Ji Liangchuan, have come to visit. They say they have important matters to discuss with you."

The Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect, sitting behind the huge desk, revealed a mocking smile and said unabashedly, "Oh, so Shen Qiang is now sending people to beg for mercy. It's a bit too late for that, isn't it? I have already set my sights on those two beauties."

The chairman of Long Yan Group, upon hearing this, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sect Leader, there's no way they can escape from your 'Five Finger Mountain'."

The Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect smiled and then said indifferently, "Alright, keep today's matters to yourselves. Go back to your business. After a week, when our people have all returned and the reinforcements have arrived, that will be Shen Qiang's end."

"Understood, you go ahead with your work, Sect Leader, we'll take our leave." Saying this, the four people stood up and left through the small door behind the huge desk with a gesture from the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect.

Sometime later, someone came in to tidy up the office briefly, and only then did the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect command the middle-aged secretary with an air of arrogance, "Let them in."

It wasn't long, about three or four minutes passed.

Accompanied by the secretary's knock on the door.

With their assistants, Xu Nan, Bai Jiao, and Ji Liangchuan stepped into the spacious office.

Standing up behind the huge desk, the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect greeted them with a smile, "Ah, I didn't expect such a good day for our Long Yan Sword Sect. I wonder what wind has blown such top talents of the Cultivation World into our Sect today. This truly brings honor to our abode."

Observing the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect's insincere smile, Xu Nan, now seated on the sofa, returned a slight smile and casually raised an eyebrow, "Let's dispense with the courtesies. We are here because of the conflict between the Shen Family and the Long Yan Sword Sect."

Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect laughed, then sat back down in his chair, his eyes full of scorn but feigning difficulty, he said, "Ah, I didn't expect you are here for the Shen Family. But the conflict between us and the Shen Family is beyond resolution now."

"Just a few hours ago, the Shen Family already rejected the Long Yan Sword Sect's proposal, insisting on being our enemy and declaring they welcome our 'drawn sword', so it's already too late for peace talks now..."

Looking at the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect with triumphant eyes, Xu Nan interrupted with a smile, "With just the few good-for-nothings from your Long Yan Sword Sect, you think you're worthy of my friend Shen Qiang begging for peace?"

The Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect was momentarily stunned, then looked at the three with a puzzled expression, speaking with a toughness tinged with vulnerability, "Even though the three of you come from top-notch families, as juniors, such disrespect..."

"So what if we are being disrespectful?" Xu Nan smiled and cocked an eyebrow, "With your Long Yan Sword Sect fabricating a pile of false charges that even a three-year-old wouldn't believe against Shen Qiang, he might not deal with you, but if you, old scoundrel, dare to refuse our Wanxin Hesheng with a single word, do you believe that I, Xu Nan, will immediately take people down and dismantle this place?"
