The alliance of cultivator forces from the four neighboring provinces to invade was something Shen Qiang was already aware of, but hearing this confirmation, his gaze turned cold.

Hearing this, Bianyi laughed, "Young man, it seems you still don't understand. Do you think with your four-family alliance, plus Doushi Temple, Heshenghe would have no way to resist? Don't forget, our boss is the Security Advisor of the Dragon Group."

The people around Bianyi also laughed one after another.

"So what if you have a four-family alliance? Our Heshenghe boss is the Security Advisor of the Dragon Group. At critical times, we can leverage the power of the Dragon Group, so even your four-family alliance poses no real threat to Heshenghe."

"The Dragon Group is the most powerful cultivator force in Huaxia. Do you think your four families are qualified to challenge us, Heshenghe? Don't forget, Heshenghe now has over three hundred Great Demons. Their abilities are not something ordinary Sword Cultivators can match."

Seeing the calm demeanor of the crowd, a smile tugged at the corners of Shen Qiang's lips.

But just at this moment, the Hidden Sword Villa cultivator who Bianyi was holding by the hair suddenly burst into wild laughter and then said coldly, "Foolish and ignorant people, do you really think the Dragon Group will become a strong backer for Heshenghe?"

"Wrong! If the Dragon Group hadn't tacitly approved, do you think our four-family alliance would risk provoking the Dragon Group to come to the Provincial City?"

"Hahaha, fools!"

"Demons have always been a major threat in the Cultivation World. The Dragon Group indeed allows demons to exist but would never allow them to gather and form a powerful force."

"So the Dragon Group is now hoping someone will make a move to wipe Heshenghe out, so stop dreaming!"

"The Dragon Group will not help you!" The man shouted angrily, "Shen Qiang is the Dragon Group's Security Advisor. They won't touch him, but you, Shen Bian, are not, and neither are other cultivators nor the demons of Heshenghe. The Dragon Group doesn't need power they can't control, so all they need is Shen Qiang. You're all finished, understand?"

In an instant upon hearing these words.

Bianyi's gaze became exceptionally cold.

But then, he turned his gaze towards Shen Qiang standing in the alley.

At this moment, Shen Qiang let out a breath.

His mood was unprecedentedly calm.

In fact, Shen Qiang had been puzzled about why the powerful four neighboring forces could so smoothly form an alliance to invade.

But now, hearing the words of this cultivator, Shen Qiang suddenly understood.

Behind the alliance of these four families.

Clearly, there were people from the Dragon Group supporting them.

Only with the backing promise of the Dragon Group would they dare to act so recklessly.

And this isn't surprising.

The Dragon Group is large, with very clear departmental divisions. Their responsibility is to protect Huaxia's security, not to protect an individual or a single demon.

So, when they see many Great Demons gathering together, someone is bound to be uneasy.

In such a scenario, if they can quietly use other cultivator forces to erase Heshenghe, it would essentially remove an unstable dangerous element.

So this is not difficult to understand.

And, to speak bluntly.

If Shen Qiang were a high-ranking member of the Dragon Group, he would do the same.

Because the benefits are obvious.

After eliminating Heshenghe, there's no worry about demon mischief, and at the same time, the cultivator forces involved in this event have their power weakened.

After all, three hundred Great Demons are not to be trifled with.

No one can escape without paying a heavy price.

Under such circumstances, demons cease to be a threat, and the severely weakened cultivator forces are much easier to control.

Thus, the region as a whole becomes safer and more stable.

After all, a hero with martial arts violates the ban.

If everyone were ordinary people with no power over others, even if there were conflicts and disputes, they would seldom escalate into actual fights.

So, Shen Qiang understands their actions and thoughts.

Shen Qiang is the King of Demons and the Dragon Group's Security Advisor.

As a so-called advisor, it's about consulting Shen Qiang when needed, but setting him aside when not.

If viewed this way, then the reason the Dragon Group gave Shen Qiang open permissions, increasing his control over the Provincial City, might just be to stabilize him.

After all, compared to a lone commander, a person with over three hundred powerful subordinates.

It's undoubtedly easier to control a lone commander.

But Shen Qiang doesn't want that.

Because in Shen Qiang's mind, power is just power, it doesn't distinguish between good and evil. Used rightly, it is good; used for evil, that is evil.

So no matter what.

Shen Qiang will fight with all his might to negotiate and strive for a bright future for Heshenghe. After all, although Shen Qiang is sometimes selfish, when it comes to Huaxia's security, he will never be vague.

"Don't kill him." Shen Qiang transmitted to Bianyi.

Hearing this, Bianyi punched the man continuously, knocking him unconscious.

"Leave, do what you need to do." Shen Qiang calmly transmitted, "You don't have to worry about the Dragon Group's matters, I'll handle it. Also, don't let anyone know my current identity."

Bianyi fell silent.

He looked towards Shen Qiang's direction, then stood up, wiped his hands, and smiled, "Send him back as a small warning from Heshenghe to them."

After saying that, several people stuffed the two cultivators on the ground into the car and then left.

Once they were far away.

Shen Qiang emerged from the alley.

The frost and snow in the night sky seemed more pronounced.

Taking a deep breath of the cold air, Shen Qiang smiled as he walked towards the car across the street, then got in as if nothing had happened.

"What's the situation?" Qian Shanxue frowned, asking anxiously, "After that woman ran out earlier, someone followed her. I got a bit worried, so I had Ali follow her. Based on Ali's latest report, that woman is staying at a youth hostel, so it seems her financial situation isn't very good."

Shen Qiang nodded, "I see."

At this time, through the car's rearview mirror, Shen Qiang noticed Ye Xiaolei sitting in the back seat, lightly flaring her nostrils, then her eyes sparkled as she said, "You took a shower, but your clothes still carry the scent of a strange woman. Does this mean your remedial measures worked?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang awkwardly smiled, took out his phone, and brought up the phone number of the enchanting woman, "You could say that. This is her number; she calls herself Lady Rose."

Qian Shanxue immediately entered the number to look it up, her eyes soon flashing with joy, "This number has only been used for a week, but her call records show frequent contacts with Wang Lizhi! This means you've succeeded, at least for now, Wang Lizhi is very interested in you!"
