Chapter 1669 - 1672: Must-Kill Zong Zijin and the Purple Who Can't Be Brigade Leader

Sitting in the driver's seat, the graceful and enchanting Purple looked at Shen Qiang with slight surprise in her beautiful eyes, then smiled warmly, "Not only does Heshenghe have three hundred Great Demons, but also Zuo Lianghao with the Infinite Sword Formation, Qingyun Sword Hall, truly a place filled with experts. And by your side is Qiongqi and Ye Guyun, the leader of the Ancient Four Great Beasts, and the Dao Fruit Realm beauty Ke Bizhu. I can't figure out why you need me to help with this task."Shen Qiang smiled, leaning back in the passenger seat, looking calmly at the pedestrians outside the vehicle, "The reason is simple; I don't want Heshenghe to become a company notorious for its ruthlessness in the Cultivation World, so some matters are better handled discreetly."

"Like the matter with Xiang Qianmeng?" The graceful and charming Purple chuckled, then calmly raised an eyebrow, "I followed the live broadcast, so I can roughly guess now that the person you want me to help kill should be Zong Zijin."

Shen Qiang laughed, "It's not surprising that you guessed it."

The graceful and charming Purple smiled, "Just because he threatened you openly, so you want to kill him? That's hardly the kind of grandeur a Heroic person should possess."

"It's not about grandeur; the point is, Zong Zijin is intelligent but lacks experience. Because he was born in Medicine King Valley and holds a high status, he is used to people accommodating him, pampering him. So often, when encountering problems, he doesn't consider them thoroughly."

Glancing at the graceful and charming Purple, Shen Qiang calmly said, "Just like the incident of him killing Xu Tianyu and framing me. The plan was perfect because everyone knew Xu Tianyu was my enemy, and right when he organized men to target me, he died, making me the prime suspect."

"DNA, fingerprints, a complete chain of evidence." Shen Qiang smiled, "What he didn't account for was that I had an alibi, and the witness Wenren Meiqiao is a regional security chief of the Dragon Group."

"Her coming to trouble me was seemingly accidental yet inevitable, something Zong Zijin missed, so he lost from the start."

The graceful and charming Purple gave a serene smile, "He can't defeat you, yet now he's mired in troubles. Why fear him? He's just bragging, and in reality, he wouldn't dare come troubling you."

Shen Qiang smiled, paused for a long time, then turned to look at the mesmerizing Purple, "Do you have someone you care about? If you do, then you should clearly understand that while I indeed don't mind if Zong Zijin comes looking for trouble, killing him would be effortless."

"But my family is different. Zong Zijin is an Alchemist. In the entire Cultivation World, excluding those apprentices, there are fewer than six hundred people who qualify as Alchemists. Most are temperamental, with subpar skills, barely able to concoct medicines."

"So everything is as Zong Zijin said; he won't die, not even if he killed ten or twenty Xu Tianyu, the harshest punishment would likely be confining him to make Elixir Pills for the Dragon Group."

"And considering Zong Zijin's wisdom, although it isn't exceptional, he would surely think of using Medicine King Valley's Pill Recipe or some potent Pill to make a deal with the Dragon Group."

The enchanting Purple frowned, "That's a good thing, isn't it? The Cultivation World is so dangerous, the Dragon Group's agents need Pills for protection. Killing him is easy, but if he could concoct a few hundred Pills for the Dragon Group, they might save hundreds of lives, of course being more significant than merely killing him."

"As expected, those from the Dragon Group think this way." Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "If I were in the Dragon Group's higher-ups, I would too. Then later, Zong Zijin would surely propose a deal for his freedom."

Looking seriously at Purple, Shen Qiang calmly said, "The best defense is offense. I'm very busy every day, I don't have time to play hide-and-seek with him. He will reflect, he will summarize, he will improve. Once he regains freedom and emerges, he will avoid me and target my family, which I will never allow."

Purple laughed, hesitated for a moment before saying, "I suddenly understand because he's in Wenren Meiqiao's hands, and Wenren Meiqiao is with you. If Ye Guyun, Ke Bizhu, or other members of Heshenghe act, it's equivalent to you and Wenren Meiqiao directly falling out."

"So you need an outsider to handle this." Purple's eyes curved in laughter, "And I am undoubtedly the best choice—not part of Heshenghe, merely your restaurant manager, even if something is discovered, you can play dumb in front of Wenren Meiqiao."

Shen Qiang chuckled, "Do you know why you can't become the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group?"

The graceful and seductive Purple froze, then responded solemnly, "What do you mean?"

"Because you're oversimplifying Zong Zijin's capture." Shen Qiang laughed, "Medicine King Valley won't allow its Pills to fall into Dragon Group hands, yet for the Dragon Group, holding the chief disciple of Medicine King Valley as a bargaining chip and failing to seize any Pills or Pill Recipes would be absurd."

"Hence, the upcoming events involve a contest between the Dragon Group and Medicine King Valley; they will probe each other's limits before reaching an understanding. People return to Medicine King Valley while Pills or Pill Recipes stay with the Dragon Group. It's a win-win scenario. After all, the dead Xu Tianyu was just trash, considering the potential spiritual pills the Dragon Group agents might receive in the future, do you think anyone would care about him?"

Purple remained silent for about three seconds, "You've bewildered me."

"It's nothing to be confused about; the issue is straightforward: the Dragon Group wants benefits. One Pill might save a distinguished Dragon Group agent's life, while killing Zong Zijin yields no benefits. Medicine King Valley might even sever ties with the Dragon Group. If it were you, could you do such a thing?"

"And Zong Zijin knows Medicine King Valley wouldn't easily abandon him, and even if they did, he has the means to negotiate with the Dragon Group, so if not killing him, he'll soon be back."

"By then, what would I do? Vigilantly defend against him every day? Guard against him for a lifetime? Then patch things up when he strikes?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "It's that simple. I now only need a straightforward answer from you—do it or not!"

The graceful and enchanting Purple furrowed her brows, "My dear Deputy Leader, your tone isn't friendly. So unless you clarify what benefits I could receive, I won't agree."

Shen Qiang laughed, pushing the car door open, "Still don't understand? Zong Zijin is crazy; he's already obsessed and blinded by jealousy, spiraling out of control. Understand? Killing one Xu Tianyu means he could kill a second and third, eventually killing everyone he deems unsatisfactory."

"You can't decide his life and death just based on assumptions, everything needs evidence." The graceful and enchanting Purple remarked, "At least he hasn't done that yet."

Shen Qiang laughed, "That's the true reason why you can't be the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group because, deep down, you abide by the rules of kindness. Before sufficient evidence is presented, you'd rather believe he's a good man, whereas the true task of the Illusion Demolition Group is to extinguish the danger in its budding state."
