Shen Qiang laughed upon hearing this, calmly looking at them and saying, "Do cowards who kneel at their enemy's doorstep as soon as they arrive deserve to follow me? Right now, in your hearts, you're probably still thinking about 'enduring hardship to seek revenge,' that a gentleman's vengeance could wait ten years, right?"

Bianyi laughed, "Boss, you always see through things so clearly, it makes me feel quite useless."

The Big Brother among the Dragon Group disciples hurriedly said, "Boss Shen Qiang, you're aware, for us cultivators, being stripped of our cultivation is like having our limbs severed. Please have mercy and spare us. We will definitely be at your beck and call…"

Shen Qiang's smile turned frosty as he coldly looked at the many kneeling disciples of the Long Yan Sword Sect and said, "First, the Shen Clan does not take spineless cowards and traitors; second, I am not interested in giving you an opportunity to play your games of 'enduring hardship to seek revenge, heart in Han while staying in Cao Camp'; third, I am not so naïve as to let my enemies go just because they utter some sweet words!"

"So if you don't want to lose your cultivation, you can try to resist," Shen Qiang said indifferently, lifting an eyebrow.

Hearing this, the many kneeling disciples of the Long Yan Sword Sect broke into loud wails.

Resist?

What could they use to resist with?

Without even a single cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage, resisting Shen Qiang and the Great Demon behind him was a joke, wasn't it?

So apart from crying bitterly, they had no other options.

Regardless of their wailing, Shen Qiang remained unmoved and gestured for his men to begin. They crippled the cultivations one by one, seized the Magical Treasures, and then expelled them all.

After that, Shen Qiang unapologetically took his people and sat down at the banquet in the Long Yan Mountain Villa.

Dozens of tables had been set with dishes, but now there was no one at all.

"Shen Qiang!"

Almost at the same moment Shen Qiang picked up his chopsticks.

The middle-aged man from the Dragon Group, who had previously visited Shen's headquarters with Qianshan Xue, appeared in the Long Yan Mountain Villa with Qianshan Xue and Aili among others.

Looking at the calm Shen Qiang eating, the middle-aged colonel from the Dragon Group shouted, "Shen Qiang, you've got some nerve!"

Shen Qiang calmly glanced at him, picked up a piece of food, and then addressed Qianshan Xue, Aili, and the tense Ye Xiaolei, "Sit down and eat."

Ye Xiaolei instinctively sat down at a nearby table.

Qianshan Xue didn't move.

The colonel from the Dragon Group exclaimed angrily, "Shen Qiang, how dare you be so bold, to have exterminated the entire Long Yan Sword Sect!"

Shen Qiang looked at him calmly and said, "Don't beat around the bush. Speak directly. If you're here for revenge on behalf of the Long Yan Sword Sect, then act now. I'm ready for you. If you're not here for revenge, then sit down and have a drink."

The colonel from the Dragon Group was stunned.

Because upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, not only did Aili and Ye Xiaolei take their seats at a nearby dining table, but the crisply uniformed, valiant and spirited Qianshan Xue also sat down by the table.

"The taste isn't bad." Qianshan Xue unabashedly began tasting the pig's knuckle on the table.

Colonel of the Dragon Group was astonished, and the other two members of the Dragon Group behind him had a baffled look on their faces.

"It's quite simple." Shen Qiang turned to face the Colonel and said, "If you have a close relationship with Long Yan Sword Sect and seek vengeance, now is your best opportunity. If you simply feel you can't ignore the situation when something happens, then sit down and have a drink."

"Although I, Shen Qiang, am not a good person, I'm also not a tyrant. I won't do anything bad to ordinary people, nor will I bully other cultivators for no reason. So, if you're smart enough, you should understand."

"If Long Yan Sword Sect falls, there is us, the Shen family. If we fall, other powers will rise in our place."

Looking at the Colonel calmly, Shen Qiang said, "Whether you accept it or not, this is an eternal truth. So I advise you to sit down, have a drink, and then go back to have a good night's sleep. When you wake up tomorrow morning..."

"You'll find that the sun rises as usual, flowers bloom as normal, nothing has changed. The only difference is that the world has a few less cultivators, that's all!"

The Colonel of the Dragon Group was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't mess with Long Yan Group. They have over twenty thousand employees, affecting the livelihoods of nearly ten thousand families."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, "I'll be moving in here to live."

Then, looking at the grand and luxurious mansion, he said seriously, "I won't recklessly smash the rice bowls of ordinary people, because I know life is not easy."

"But the Long Yan Group, I want it." Shen Qiang looked at him calmly and said, "This won't change because of anyone."

The Colonel's eyes turned cold as he said harshly, "Shen Qiang, don't think I can't deal with you!"

Laughing at this, Shen Qiang calmly replied, "Long Yan Sword Sect wouldn't allow the Shen family to prosper; they did everything they could to suppress us, using all kinds of schemes. I didn't see you handle them; it was I who really took care of them."

Looking at the Colonel's ashen face, Shen Qiang indifferently raised an eyebrow, "If you think being part of the Dragon Group makes you superior to both Long Yan Sword Sect and the Shen family, then I suggest you banish that thought. Although I, Shen Qiang, have blood on my hands, I've never done anything that truly violates the natural order."

"So either sit down and have a drink like a friend, celebrating our victory together, or leave with a cold face. I won't go out of my way to oppose you, but your hostility surely makes me feel you're not friendly."

"Aside from that, I must say that I want everything; Long Yan Group, this mountain villa, and all of Long Yan. Because you should clearly understand, if they were the ones to survive, they would do the same. They would take away everything from the Shen family, and they certainly wouldn't give up their gains just because of a few words from you."

"You're a complete asshole!" the Colonel of the Dragon Group shouted angrily, then he turned to leave.

At that moment, Bianyi laughed, "Hey, boss, you're too hot-tempered. If it's like this, it will be very difficult to avoid misunderstandings when dealing with us in the future. In fact, what you should hope to see is the cultivators of Provincial City behaving themselves."

"That's also what our boss wants to see. Our goals align, and there's no conflict of interest. At this time, I think sitting down for a drink would make my boss a bit happier. If you just leave like this, my boss will be very displeased."

Bang!

Hearing this, the Colonel of the Dragon Group grabbed Bianyi by the collar, yanked him up, and said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

Bianyi smiled, "I'm just hoping you'll accept reality. Long Yan Sword Sect is yesterday's news. Now, this place is ruled by my boss, Shen Qiang. Without his approval, no cultivator has the right to set foot in Provincial City."

Leaning in close to the Colonel's ear, Bianyi said with a smile, "Of course, Dragon Group leaders who don't show respect to my boss shouldn't expect to sit comfortably in their offices, peacefully drinking tea."
