Chapter 2030 - 2033: Causing Trouble at My Door? You’re Seriously Underestimating Me.
Upon hearing the demon with a menacing demeanor speak, the great demon with a stern face said, "I know what you're plotting. Indeed, I've made mistakes, but that doesn't mean I don't understand the significance of Heshenghe's existence, so let's not bother discussing it. I'll pretend I didn't know what you've said until now, but from now on, we will go our separate ways."The demon with the grim expression smiled and said, "Geng Jingyi, don't speak so absolutely. Shen Qiang's Heshenghe may seem impressive, but in front of Gong Ziyi, it's just a paper tiger. If Gong Ziyi wants, he can obliterate Heshenghe in an instant, and crushing Shen Qiang wouldn't be more complicated than squashing an ant, so why keep people at arm's length?"
"Different paths, no alliances!" The great demon replied gravely.
The demon with a stern expression smiled and said, "Whether a cat walks in a straight line depends on the mouse; whether paths align depends on whether there's absolute strength. So for now, you can watch the show and consider it slowly. Just give me a definite answer in three days."
The emotionless great demon Geng Jingyi looked coldly at him and said, "You're a bastard. Heshenghe's existence means it holds up a piece of the sky for demons, allowing them to live under the sun like cultivators. What you're trying to destroy is not just Heshenghe, but the future of all demons."
Upon hearing this, the demon with a grim expression laughed and said, "Then blame Shen Qiang for provoking someone he shouldn't have. If Gong Ziyi wants him dead, he must die. No one can change that, so watch the show and think it over carefully before you respond to me."
"Furthermore, I think I need to remind you that even if you're not considering for yourself, you should think about your brothers. Unable to join Heshenghe and stuck on the outside, watching those inside feasting, all they can do is drink northwest wind. Is this what a leader should do?"
Hearing this, the great demon Geng Jingyi immediately fell silent, his gaze unwillingly glancing at the surrounding demons, his expression growing more somber.
At this moment, although there were many cultivators near the back door, not many dared to speak recklessly.
Only a few cultivators occasionally reminded the middle-aged woman and her two children.
"Cry!"
"If you don't cry, how will people know what you're doing here?"
Following the advice, the woman sobbed.
But it was just thunder without rain.
At the same time, the online livestream was already in chaos, turning upside down.
"I knew it, those not of our kind have different intentions. How about it, Shen Qiang, apparently altruistic, but secretly scheming. This matter isn't just underhanded, oh, he took their money and killed people, only demons could do such a thing."
"Hmph, it's long been known, the scenery changes but character is hard to change. Heshenghe's handling of this matter is unprincipled, acting so recklessly—is this just? Where is justice?"
"Hmph, Heshenghe's gotten too powerful, so arrogant they don't need to hide their tails anymore. If such a sect rises, won't the cultivation world never know peace?"
Meanwhile, Shen Qiang returned to the Mountain Villa from the front gate. Upon getting out of the car, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu and Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing came up to meet him.
"Shen Qiang, this matter is about to turn bad. Now not only are the demons and cultivators at the back gate causing a fuss wanting to watch the drama, but online too many people are adding fuel to the fire." said Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, her eyes showing some anxiety. "If this issue isn't resolved, our Heshenghe's reputation will definitely plummet."
Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu said thoughtfully, "There are many demons in Heshenghe, we really have no way to be sure if it's one of ours doing it, so explaining it will be very difficult."
Hearing what they said, Shen Qiang, standing beside Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, glanced toward the direction of the side gate, "I'm curious why, since they're causing a fuss, they went to the side gate, not the main gate."
Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing was taken aback: "Don't you think this is serious enough? At the side gate, the whole cultivation world already knows; if they come to the main gate, wouldn't even ordinary people know?"
"Maybe they just don't want ordinary people to know about this." Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu said.
Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, then coldly said, "Even if the whole world knows, what does it matter to them? The ones agonizing over this will only be us, like how to explain to others. Once they're done causing a fuss, they leave, and it has nothing to do with them."
Suddenly, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing and Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu were both stunned, their eyes bewilderedly looking at each other, seemingly unable to keep up with Shen Qiang's train of thought.
"Are you saying there's something behind this?"
Shen Qiang calmly raised an eyebrow: "No one ever truly acts on whim; there must be reasons behind it. Suppose this issue happened to you, wanting to cause trouble, why not at the main gate but the side gate?"
The two furrowed their brows, then Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up: "They have concerns!"
"The main gate may infuriate you! Leading to uncontrollable repercussions!" said Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow coldly and said, "This is under someone's orders, understand? It's planned because if they block our main gate, they're directly provoking us. I would immediately send people to capture them, then gradually uncover the key points of the matter."
"In that case, there'd be no show. I definitely won't allow others to spectate, nor let anyone spread this on the internet, hence they choose the side gate, making it inconvenient for us to react."
Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing said, "Maybe that woman thought of this herself, or perhaps someone from our side is truly betraying us."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang smirked coldly, "The person arranging this is precisely with that intention, on one hand, causing our internal strife, nerves on edge, doubting each other. On the other hand, they aim to damage our reputation. It's a clever scheme, but if they think such tactics can defeat me, they're seriously underestimating Shen Qiang."
"Then what do you propose?" asked Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu.
"Inform all demons in Heshenghe to gather, twelve combat teams, adjust the schedule for rotation and patrol. We'll let them identify face-to-face; if they can point out who did it, we'll give them an answer, if not, they can leave," Shen Qiang calmly said.
"Alright, I'll arrange it right away," said Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing.
Shen Qiang nodded, then headed towards the side gate with Ye Guyun and Ke Bizhu, saying, "If that woman dares make a fuss, hit her, but don't really hurt her."
