Chapter 1551 - 1554: The Strange Hostility Between Wenren Meiqiao and Qin Yurou

As the hoarse voice of the elder faded, not only did the exceptionally beautiful Qin Yurou and the charming Wenren Meiqiao beside Shen Qiang widen their eyes in shock, but the elder from the Dragon Group and the Chief from the Beijing Department also looked enraged. They sternly said, "Shen Qiang, don't listen to his nonsense. The Abyss is filled with shameless demons, despised by the righteous path. You must not join them and ruin your future."Hearing this, Shen Qiang helplessly raised an eyebrow.

The elder with the hoarse voice, however, completely ignored their words and calmly said, "Shen Qiang, you should understand that the people and matters in this world are not as clear as paintings on a blank sheet of paper."

"Many people and events are often hidden beneath the surface. The Cultivation World you see is just the tip of the iceberg. More cultivators and truly capable people remain unknown to the public."

"The Abyss sees great potential in you. Join us, for this is where you truly belong. There's no hypocrisy here, no false righteousness; everything relies on oneself. But as long as your skills are sufficient, you'll discover that even larger gateways of the world are opening for you."

The people around all displayed complex expressions upon hearing these words.

Among the three legendary groups on the Bounty Hunters' platform, the Illusion Demolition Group has ties to the Dragon Group, Mirage Qimeng is supported by the bounty platform, and undoubtedly, the Abyss is backed by this Abyss.

Therefore, Shen Qiang was naturally curious about this Abyss.

But he had absolutely no interest in truly joining.

Because joining would inevitably come at a cost.

Much like joining the Dragon Group, Shen Qiang would have to consider how to assist them, but fortunately, the Dragon Group acts for the nation and welfare, combating evil, so Shen Qiang is willing to help them.

But the so-called Abyss is different.

Although Shen Qiang enjoys that kind of place where there's no hypocrisy and all depends on strength.

However, differing principles do not allow for joint ventures.

Shen Qiang is not someone who would resort to any means just for money.

"I appreciate the offer, but I enjoy my freedom as the King of Demons."

Hearing Shen Qiang's words, the people of the Dragon Group looked a bit more relieved.

The hoarse elder chuckled and said, "Very well, then. I won't force you. If one day you find yourself at an impasse with nowhere else to turn, remember, the Abyss welcomes you."

With that, the elder turned and left with his people. After a few steps, he paused and said, "Additionally, I will instruct the disciples of the Abyss to maintain respect for your 150-meter restricted zone."

With those words, the elder departed leisurely.

Throughout, he did not speak a word to the Dragon Group, the Illusion Demolition Group, Mirage Qimeng, or any other cultivators.

As they watched them leave,

Mirage Qimeng, dressed in a blue floral qipao and wearing a veil, lightly laughed and said, "How impressive. I didn't expect even the elders of the Abyss to be interested in the King of Demons. But indeed, the affairs of this world are such that hearing rumors is misleading, and seeing with one's own eyes is believing."

"I used to hear that Shen Qiang built his foundation on a few demons, that he was a lowly cultivator, only good at Alchemy, and that he was shameless. Today, I finally understand that no one succeeds without effort."

"His unpredictable poison techniques, strong Body Cultivation, Infinite Sword Formation, super divine formations, and those loyal subordinates created the King of Demons who dominates a region. I'm already looking forward to our next meeting."

With that, the woman in the blue floral qipao floated away, this time without using invisibility.

After she had gone far,

The members of the Illusion Demolition Group also began to leave, while the remaining people each introduced themselves before saying their farewells and departing.

Though Shen Qiang's formations turned enemies to dust, this was still a battlefield, after all, so without any pressing matters, no cultivators wished to linger and have lengthy conversations with Shen Qiang.

Once they had all left respectfully,

The many cultivators who had been crouching in the little forest, utterly shocked after witnessing everything, finally came to their senses.

They stared in shock at Shen Qiang, who stood in the center with a smile on his face.

"Incredibly terrifying! Who said that Shen Qiang was just a waste, only good at Alchemy and collecting demons? Who said he only made people get diarrhea? Those fools! Shen Qiang is so powerful, almost god-like. I can't believe I came here to fool around, hoping to gain some fame using his name."

"Oh my heavens, Mirage, Illusion Demolition Group, Abyss, Dragon Group! Just who are these people around Shen Qiang? I'm so scared; I'll never come again."

"Terrifying Shen Qiang!"

Trembled by fear, they did not dare to make a sound as they hid in the forest, because earlier they had clearly witnessed countless powerful figures turned to ash by the Sword Array. Thus, the smiling and sunny Shen Qiang seemed almost like a Demon God in their eyes.

"Senior Shen Qiang, I apologize on behalf of myself, Lu Yiming, a disciple of the Saint Chen Academy. I'm sorry, I was wrong, and I dare not offend again," a cultivator stood up and said.

Seeing someone take the lead, the crowd quickly panicked, for Shen Qiang had single-handedly annihilated over a hundred bounty hunters. His formidable strength was monstrous.

Yang God Realm?

Oh, the Dao Fruit Stage fighters were slain in pairs. If they didn't speak up, what if Shen Qiang bore a grudge and wiped them out just like that? What a grievance it would be to die then?

"Forgive us, Senior Shen Qiang!"

"We beg for your understanding; we dare not offend again. Please show us mercy!"

"Senior Shen Qiang, I promise to be more careful in the future. As soon as I see you, I'll immediately pay my respects!"

The many cultivators begged.

Contrary to their expectations, Shen Qiang did not respond with a forgiving smile or even acknowledge them, continuing his conversation with Wenren Meiqiao and Qin Yurou with a smile.

Moreover, as he spoke, he walked, as if he had entirely forgotten their presence.

"Shen Qiang, you're amazing! Especially your Sword Array, it's tremendously formidable. The Cultivation World says Zuo Lianghao's Infinite Sword Formation is the strongest, but compared to you, it's lacking. Your Sword Array directly killed two Dao Fruit Stage powerhouses, while he has yet to defeat a single Dao Fruit Stage cultivator."

The vibrant young girl Abi stared at Shen Qiang with eyes sparkling.

Shen Qiang smiled, then sighed and helplessly raised an eyebrow, "Before coming, I booked two tables, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this. So, having lunch here feels awkward for our guests; let's head back to the city for a meal."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yurou immediately agreed without a second thought.

However, just as she spoke, she noticed the tall and graceful Wenren Meiqiao eyeing her sideways, filled with antagonism, and said firmly, "Sure, let's go to our usual place."
