The spacious office was enveloped in silence as the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect looked at Xu Nan, Bai Jiao, and Ji Liangchuan with a gaze that faintly revealed fear.

After all, Wan Xin He Sheng was one of the top five elite families in the Cultivation World, and its power far surpassed that of a second-rate, mediocre sect like Long Yan Sword Sect. Thus, when Xu Nan spoke without the slightest politeness, the only thought in the Sect Leader's mind was "this is bad."

Yet, he did not know how to begin speaking.

Thus, in the vast room, the only sound was that of the tea master, kneeling beside the coffee table, brewing tea for the three visitors.

Watching the silent Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect, whose eyes darted around and who bore a troubled expression, Bai Jiao raised an eyebrow and mocked, "Cheng Xinyi welcomes the Long Yan Sword Sect to list our crimes. It seems we haven't encountered such an occasion in centuries. I'm truly looking forward to it."

Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect became exceedingly embarrassed.

In the Cultivation World, among the five super-first-class families, the most fierce in temperament was the Bai Family of Cheng Xinyi.

It could be said that, if one inadvertently offended Wan Xin He Sheng or the Ji Family, there was still room to maneuver.

But if one offended Cheng Xinyi's Bai Family,

They would strike first, fight until satisfied, happy, and calm. Only then could discussions proceed. Hence, listing crimes against Cheng Xinyi—whether they were made up or true—the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect wouldn't dare concede.

Immediately, the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect changed his expression and forced a laugh, "List crimes against Shen Qiang? Such a situation doesn't exist."

Seeing the three guests' expressions growing colder, the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect quickly laughed again, "Even if there were, it must have been something done privately by subordinates, so you can rest assured. If there are fabrications causing dissatisfaction, just say the word, and I will be sure to discipline them severely."

Watching the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect with a serious expression,

Xu Nan smiled and said, "Not a bad performance, Oscar owes you an Academy Award. But these tricks are of no use in front of us."

The Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect gave a dry laugh, then shifting his gaze to Xu Nan, he said, "Miss Xu, regarding our conflict with Shen's Holdings, we had actually informed Wan Xin He Sheng previously, and your uncle mentioned that Wan Xin He Sheng would not intervene in our dispute with Shen's Holdings. Moreover, Wan Xin He Sheng always keeps their word, so you…"

Xu Nan laughed, "Impressive, using my uncle to pressure me, you react quickly and indeed are deep in strategy. However, you are right; indeed, Wan Xin He Sheng will not intervene in your disputes with Shen's Holdings."

Light dawned in the eyes of the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect, but just as he began to look relieved, Xu Nan said coldly,

"But the precondition for not intervening is that Long Yan Sword Sect and Shen's Holdings must resolve their issues privately. If Shen Qiang cannot defeat you, that is his own lack of ability, and Wan Xin He Sheng has nothing to say."

Looking at the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect, Xu Nan smiled and said, "But now, seeing that your Long Yan Sword Sect is ostentatiously gathering allies, as a friend of Shen Qiang, I must step forward. Now listen well, if Long Yan seeks help and gets involved in your disputes with Shen's Holdings, Wan Xin He Sheng will definitely not ignore it, we will send our strongest lineup to assist Shen Qiang."

In that instant, the face of the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect turned pale.

Almost simultaneously, Bai Jiao also sneered, "Yes, if you, Long Yan Sword Sect, dare to seek help, as the heir of Cheng Xinyi, I too will request my family to send the strongest lineup to help Shen Qiang."

The horrified Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect did not even have time to respond.

After entering the room, Ji Liangchuan calmly said, "Shen Qiang is my only friend. If anyone else from the Long Yan Sword Sect tries to support their side, not only will I personally intervene to aid Shen Qiang, but I will also use all the power I can muster to strike against you."

After listening to the words of the three people.

The face of the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect had turned as pale as paper, because for cultivators, a threat from three top-tier families was an absolute nightmare.

Even if he was confident, he was very clear that among these three people, one was definitely the heir of Cheng Xinyi.

The other two were strong contenders as heirs of two other top-tier families, which meant that if the Long Yan Sword Sect really brought in supporters to fight against Shen's side, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for them.

"I believe you have heard us clearly," he said.

Xu Nan calmly stood up, looked proudly at the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect, and said, "Remember the words we just told you, it was I, Bai Jiao, and Ji Liangchuan who told you in person. If you try to pretend ignorance using some unwise subordinates or later seek us out with an excuse for negotiation, we will absolutely not accept it."

The Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect, looking at Xu Nan, who remained calm, was silent for a long time before he said harshly, "Fine, you win. On behalf of the Long Yan Sword Sect, I solemnly promise the three of you that we will not seek any external help. We will rely on our own strength to defeat Shen's side."

Xu Nan smiled. "I really hope you can do that."

Hearing these scornful words, the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect became furious and said coldly, "Miss Xu Nan, maybe in your heart, that Shen Qiang is very impressive, but in the eyes of the Long Yan Sword Sect, he is nothing more than a slightly clever waste."

"Do you think I don't know where all the Pei Yuan Pill ingredients from Cheng Xinyi and Wanxin Hesheng have gone?"

"Let me tell you, I am well aware. Shen Qiang has bought all those materials for Alchemy."

"At this time, what use is last-minute preparation? Does he think increasing his True Qi slightly gives him the power to oppose us? Does he think that reaching the Golden Core Stage makes him a strong contender? Does he think that without external support, his few people are enough to challenge our Long Yan Sword Sect?"

Looking at the Sect Leader whose attitude had suddenly become somewhat tough, Xu Nan smiled and said, "Shen Qiang is a miracle boy. Ever since I met him, he has always been like this, making those who underestimate him pay the price, and no one is an exception."

Hearing this, the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect said coldly, "That's because he hasn't encountered our Long Yan Sword Sect before. Now that everything has been made clear, let me tell you frankly, Shen Qiang's purchase of so many Pei Yuan Pill ingredients is merely an attempt to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, but it will be useless."

"There is simply no genius in this world who can advance to the Nascent Soul Stage within just two or three months of entering the Golden Core Stage, so you might as well start preparing his funeral because a week from now, that little creep, whose Cultivation is only at the Golden Core Stage, will die at the hands of our Long Yan Sword Sect."

"And as long as our Long Yan Sword Sect keeps the agreement not to seek external aid, even if you have a good relationship with him, you can only stand by and watch."

The Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect said, his eyes filled with fierce resolve, "Because your current highest status is merely as heirs of your families, you haven't really taken control of your family's power yet, and his death will surely be an unforgettable agony in all your lives."

Bai Jiao was furious. "Don't you believe I could have you killed right now?"

The Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect raised an eyebrow and replied, "I believe that's exactly what you want to do, but Cheng Xinyi won't let you act recklessly."

Hearing this, Xu Nan pulled Bai Jiao back and calmly looked at the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect and said, "You can continue to be arrogant, but I kindly remind you, Shen Qiang's strength far surpasses your imagination, so do not measure him by your standards, nor think that you can sway our determination to help him by declaring his certain death."

Smiling and raising an eyebrow, Xu Nan continued, "Because since the day I met him, he has been an unrivaled genius challenging human norms, so a week from now, if you see that his Cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul Stage, I hope you can still stand firmly and not drop your jaw in shock."
