Upon hearing Bianyi's words, the Sect Leader of Yanqing Sword Pavilion's eyes instantly brightened. He said urgently, "I have, I have many treasures. I have a storage ring, the Yanqing Swordsmanship, and even an Eight Diagrams Mirror with over hundreds of years of inheritance..."
Bianyi shook his head and looked at him with a regretful expression, "Then you're finished. Our boss lacks everything except money. He won't care for your junk, so you're doomed."
The Sect Leader of Yanqing Sword Pavilion looked at the departing Bianyi with a terrified gaze, moved his lips as if he had something to say, but hesitated.
At this moment, downstairs, Shen Qiang, sitting in the car, was calmly watching the scene on the tablet.
"He won't hand over the Yanqing Sword to you. After all, it's an Immortal Artifact and the treasure of Yanqing Sword Pavilion. So you and Bianyi playing good cop, bad cop won't work." Xiu Ju, leaning beside Shen Qiang, said softly.
Shen Qiang smiled, "He will hand over the Yanqing Sword because he's no tough guy."
Xiu Ju raised her eyebrows helplessly, "I doubt it. Otherwise, he would have said it earlier."
"He's just trying to muddle through. You should know a true tough guy would disdain to flatter others. This Sect Leader of Yanqing Sword Pavilion likes to grovel to the Sect Leader of Kunlun Sword Sect. Once Ji Wei brought him here, he knelt and begged for mercy without me saying a word."
Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows, "Such a spineless man will never give up as long as there's a sliver of hope, so rest assured, he'll soon be begging for mercy."
Almost at the same moment Xiu Ju raised her eyebrows.
The Sect Leader of Yanqing Sword Pavilion in Shen Qiang's office suddenly called out, "Mr. Shen! Don't leave, I've figured it out. I understand what Mr. Shen wants. I promise you, as long as you let me go, don't kill me, the Yanqing Sword is yours."
Shen Qiang smiled, and Xiu Ju, helplessly hugging Shen Qiang's arm, said, "As you guessed, he is indeed a spineless man."
"He's smart. He knows that only by staying alive does the Yanqing Sword have meaning." Shen Qiang frowned, "So this shameless guy, with his thick skin and soft bones, will be a trouble if not dealt with."
Xiu Ju was surprised, "Are you going to kill him after getting the Immortal Sword?"
Shen Qiang shook his head, "Of course not. A promise must be kept. I said I won't kill him, so I won't kill him, but only this time."
Xiu Ju smiled and shook her head helplessly.
Almost simultaneously, Bianyi, having sat back on the sofa, his eyes gleaming, said, "It's said the Yanqing Sword is an Immortal Sword, such a priceless treasure. Exchanging it for your life is quite worth it. After all, you should understand, if you die, nothing will matter to you anymore."
The Sect Leader of Yanqing Sword Pavilion remained silent for a moment after hearing this, his gaze turning cold. "I understand, but I can only hand over the Yanqing Sword once I safely return to Yanqing Sword Pavilion."
Bianyi smiled, shook his head, and said, "You have no choice. Believe me, you've seen the chat logs of Kunlun Sword Sect's Sect Leader and other family heads in the previous posts. They won't save you, and your seven Mixed Element Realm experts of the Yanqing Sword Pavilion are all crippled."
Glancing at his watch, Bianyi said, "So you must understand, handing over the Yanqing Sword gives you a sliver of hope to live. If not, then you lose even that sliver of hope."
After a long while.
The Sect Leader of Yanqing Sword Pavilion sighed, shook his wrist, and handed a tiny sword, as small as a jade talisman, to Bianyi, "I hope you keep your promise."
Bianyi smiled, "Rest assured, strong-arm tactics, and plunder are the true essence of the Cultivation World. Naturally, there's nothing to be said about that. But integrity and righteousness are words we at Heshenghe have never lacked."
With that, Bianyi stood up and went downstairs.
In the underground parking lot, Bianyi opened the car door and sat in the front passenger seat, then handed the Yanqing Sword to Shen Qiang, smiling faintly, "Too simple, there wasn't any challenge at all. It's quite boring."
Shen Qiang smiled, took the Yanqing Sword, and said, "Simple? Do you think without the Kunlun Sword Sect and those hypocritical family heads wanting to stay out of it, without Ji Wei's outstanding combat power, would he really have given in so easily?"
"Alright, my dear boss, I admit you're right. But I still feel something's missing. That guy is smart, so he handed it over obediently. This gave me no sense of accomplishment." Bianyi said dissatisfied.
Using the Observation Skill, Shen Qiang glanced at the Yanqing Sword and smiled, "Sorry to disappoint you. This Yanqing Sword is indeed an Immortal Artifact, but unfortunately, it's sealed with Immortal Sealing Technique. Before the seal is lifted, no one can use it, so it's just a decoration."
Seeing Bianyi's unhappy expression, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "So I think, maybe that guy is hiding in my office right now, thinking we're a pair of fools, taking this useless thing instead of his storage ring, properties, swordsmanship, and the like."
"I should've killed him." Bianyi was displeased.
Then Shen Qiang laughed and said, "I heard you say earlier, Heshenghe does not lack integrity, and you said it with great assurance. So let's act with the same assurance."
"Just let him go like this?" Bianyi said unhappily, "There are at least a dozen Immortal Artifacts in the Cultivation World that are sealed with Immortal Sealing Technique, and no one has ever managed to lift the seal. We've gone through all this trouble and ended up with a useless Immortal Artifact, I'm not happy about it."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, "Then let me tell you some good news. Whenever you encounter a Magical Treasure sealed with Immortal Sealing Technique, just buy it. Once I reach the Mixed Element Realm, I can lift the seals on them."
"Really?" Bianyi was full of shock.
Shen Qiang smiled, put the Yanqing Sword into the storage ring, and said, "Have I ever failed to fulfill any of my words?"
Bianyi's eyes brightened, "We'll get rich. Those sealed Magical Treasures are sold very cheaply."
This made Shen Qiang think of the Shennong Cauldron he had acquired, sealed with Immortal Sealing Technique. It was a good treasure. Once Shen Qiang's cultivation reached the Mixed Element Realm and the seal on the cauldron was lifted, not only would the elixirs refined be more perfect, but the cauldron might have additional uses.
"If you can buy them, collect them all." Shen Qiang said.
Bianyi laughed wildly, "This matter would be simpler if you handled it yourself. Just have a word with Xu Nan and Bai Jiao to get it done."
But then Bianyi's expression became serious. He glanced at Shen Qiang and said thoughtfully, "Boss, with my understanding of you, you wouldn't snatch a flying sword for no reason. So I always felt you had another purpose for doing this."
Shen Qiang smiled. Just then, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, holding a folder, voluptuous and seductive, walked up to the car, smiled at Shen Qiang, and said, "Boss, congratulations, we've received calls from over eighty Cultivation Sects booking to attend the celebration, so I must inform you, Dinghao Hotel's rooms are already insufficient."
Instantly, Bianyi's eyes brightened. He looked at Shen Qiang excitedly and said, "I get it, Boss, you're shaking the mountain to shake the tiger!"
