Chapter 2033 - 2036: The Culprit Is Not in Heshenghe
Chapter 2033 - 2036: The Culprit Is Not in Heshenghe
Looking at the three cultivators whose faces turned pale instantly, Shen Qiang calmly waved his hand.Immediately, a row of Great Demons from Heshenghe walked up to them.
"Is the demon you saw among them?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow.
The three cultivators glanced at each other, their hearts filled with dread.
"Damn it, the previous plan was good, but we didn't anticipate that the Great Demons of Heshenghe wouldn't act alone. Once the time is mentioned, these Great Demons will have alibis."
"I've said before, Heshenghe is not a disorganized bunch, but you guys wouldn't believe me!"
"Stay calm, it's too late to say anything now. Slow down and think of a way. If all else fails, just point out one randomly!"
"Point out, my ass. They have alibis, Shen Qiang would have us sliced to pieces on the spot, drag it out, think of a way step by step!"
The three whispered among themselves.
One person said, "No."
"Then let's move on to the next batch!"
Shen Qiang calmly instructed.
Afterward, the entire atmosphere by the side door became extremely tense, as batches of demons from Heshenghe appeared. Every demon with spiritual wisdom had lived at least a hundred years, and those owning a human form had existed for at least three hundred years.
Their demeanor and formidable strength made the cultivators outside the side door gasp under their breath.
"Heshenghe's might is indeed astonishing. In the Cultivation World, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators are considered skilled, Yin God, and Yang God are experts. Most of these demons from Heshenghe seem to react at the expert level, but in reality, demons possess unique abilities based on their race, almost comparable to Dao Fruit, and Heshenghe has over three hundred such demons!"
"Terrifying indeed, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators can travel the world freely, let alone such powerful Great Demons!"
"Sigh, King of Demons Shen Qiang, having so many powerful beings under him, is not someone ordinary people can provoke."
The cultivators expressed their astonishment quietly.
Meanwhile, the demons watching from afar were also visibly shocked.
"Gou Mang from Yin Mountain, that damn demon, didn't dare to make a peep in front of me back then. But now, being with Shen Qiang, he's become arrogant. Humph, if I joined Heshenghe, there's no way he'd be the captain."
"Humph, times have changed, and status is different too. Look, that guy trying his best to show off his mighty side to Shen Qiang, he was arrogant with me back then, I hit him so hard he lost his shoes. Yet, a few days ago, he acted all high and mighty before me, saying he was tired of eating whole roasted pigs, Mad."
"These incompetent guys are nothing special. If we brothers joined Heshenghe, they wouldn't have the arrogance."
"Exactly, exactly. But since Jingyi bro isn't going, we can't either, we can't abandon him."
Amidst the whispered conversations of the demons, a Great Demon with a sinister look gave a cold snort, "This Shen Qiang is just bluffing, he won't be able to handle this."
Geng Jingyi said coldly, "How you see is your problem. Behind the fame there's no fake talent, Shen Qiang can start from scratch and establish Heshenghe, which means he's not someone to be easily manipulated."
"But compared to Gong Ziyi, he's nothing," the sinister-looking Great Demon said. "So, in three days, you'll have to give me a definite answer, whether you'll stand with us or watch your brothers suffer."
Geng Jingyi remained silent, sighed, and glanced at his brother looking enviously at the Great Demons beside Shen Qiang. He understood that even if his brothers joined Heshenghe, they might not be the strongest, but they would certainly be above average.
Therefore, thinking of endless days of boiled instant noodles, he had to consider carefully.
Meanwhile, the demons from Heshenghe kept appearing one batch after another. Those demons not being identified were going to replace those patrolling, thus demonstrating impeccable personnel management, leaving the cultivators inside the live-stream room both shocked and envious.
"Strong Lord is majestic, with so many Great Demons appearing batch after batch, it's practically a parade, absolutely glorious!"
"It's incredibly cool! Haha, my gosh, where are those clowns from before? Weren't they accusing my King? Now my King is asking them to point out the culprit, and they're all silent? Ha, my King is open-hearted, if they can't identify the culprit, those who spoke loudly before in the live-stream, you should delete your accounts."
"Laughing, they accused Shen Qiang verbally, now look, calling out everyone. You said the demon from Heshenghe did it, now point it out. At that time, if they have alibis, not only Shen Qiang but any cultivator wouldn't spare them."
"Serves them right, came to cry and annoy Shen Qiang? Humph, wait for it, if Shen Qiang spares them, I will write my name backward!"
Everyone was clamoring as the identification work at Heshenghe's side door continued.
The expressions of the three cultivators were anxious, with sweat on their foreheads.
"There are hardly any left, we must point someone out."
"Don't mess around! If we fail to identify, we can claim we were misled, and apologize and leave, Shen Qiang won't kill us, but if you randomly accuse, and that demon's whereabouts are clear, then it means we're framing them, we'll die, Shen Qiang won't spare us."
"Fortune comes from taking risks, we can gamble on a demon not being able to account for their movements."
"Die yourself if you want, don't drag us down, Heshenghe doesn't have demons acting alone! Surveillance everywhere, easily proven, if it comes to that, we die."
The three cultivators discussed fiercely through voice transmission.
This scene naturally drew Shen Qiang's attention, bringing a smile to the corners of his lips.
But at that moment, Shen Qiang's interest was piqued by the middle-aged woman kneeling outside the side door, crying with two children. She looked at the three with confusion, while the two children clung to her in terror.
It wasn't hard to see this middle-aged woman depended on the three cultivators, maybe she claimed a demon from Heshenghe killed her husband, and brought her kids to cause this commotion based on their idea.
Shen Qiang was clear-minded, his expression calm, sipping tea casually.
As time passed and the last batch of Great Demons left, after showing them Uncle Gui's photo, Shen Qiang looked at the sweaty cultivators and said calmly, "You've seen all the demons from Heshenghe without leaving any out, but unfortunately, you didn't identify any suspect, meaning the perpetrator is not from Heshenghe, correct?"
Upon hearing this, the three sweaty cultivators hurriedly responded, "Yes, yes, you're right, we didn't consider thoroughly before. Sorry for the trouble we caused you, we sincerely apologize, excuse us, we'll leave now."
Seeing the three attempting to leave, Shen Qiang laughed, "No rush, since the culprit isn't from Heshenghe, we need to settle our accounts."
