Chapter 2178 - 2181: Gong Ziyi's Deadly Surprise

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, Wenren Meiqiao's beautiful eyes showed astonishment, but she soon excitedly said, "It's not that troublesome at all. As long as Qingxuan Fairy is here, Cheng Dehai won't dare to act recklessly in front of you."

At the same time, Wenren Meiqiao's female assistant also excitedly said, "Qingxuan Fairy must be the most powerful and beautiful woman in the world. Shen Advisor is truly blessed."

Their words made Shen Qiang smile, but he didn't say anything and shook his head in his heart.

Because actually, in their eyes, Qingxuan, already considered the strongest in the world, is nothing but a pushover in front of Taiyin Youying.

Moreover.

In terms of appearance, Qingxuan is undoubtedly a notch above Qin Yurou and Jinli Qianning.

But compared to Taiyin Youying, she's merely a maid tending the fire, while Youying is a true noble lady.

Moreover.

The appearance of the Empress of the Immortal Realm is something Qingxuan can hardly compare to.

So, Shen Qiang could not respond to Wenren Meiqiao and her assistant's words.

"No more talk of this. I must hurry to review the information because Qianning is truly important to me."

Shen Qiang calmly interrupted Wenren Meiqiao and her assistant.

However, he couldn't interrupt the ongoing discussions among other Dragon Group members.

"Wow, that Qingxuan Fairy is so beautiful, truly a rare beauty. In this world, no one could possibly be more beautiful than her. If not for Cheng Dehai's overwhelming pressure at the time, which immobilized me, I would have knelt before her and confessed my admiration."

"Indeed, she's truly stunning, and so young. More importantly, she's able to break Cheng Dehai's astonishing pressure, and it's her Body Separation, which only true immortals would use!"

"Alas, after seeing her beauty, loving anyone else in this life seems impossible. The moment I saw her kneeling before Shen Qiang, my heart shattered."

"A sword for the hero, and beauty for the fair maiden. It's a pity none of you are the charming Shen Medicine King."

Dragon Group members debated fervently.

Shen Qiang was in Wenren Meiqiao's office, drinking tea while reviewing Jinli Qianning's dossier.

Meanwhile.

Inside a luxurious business sedan on the street.

The Iron Hand Immortal King Cheng Dehai, face dark as iron, spoke with a stern expression, "The fairy beside Shen Qiang is peculiar, without a doubt, her appearance uses the method of Body Separation, similar to an immortal. But throughout history in the cultivation realm, such a woman has never appeared before."

"Sir, what do you mean?" asked the middle-aged man beside him.

Cheng Dehai said coldly, "To achieve cultivation and maintain eternal youth is not rare, but think about it, this beauty with such high cultivation, even if she never actively appeared in the cultivation realm, her name should have been known long ago."

"Perhaps she has been famous for a long time..." the middle-aged man beside him suggested.

Cheng Dehai shook his head and said, "No, during my time in the Dragon Group I meticulously reviewed various records from the cultivation realm over the past five thousand years, and there is simply no female cultivator named Qingxuan."

"Then what do you mean?"

Cheng Dehai frowned and said, "Due to the Body Separation, I can't tell whether she's a demon or an immortal."

"How about I send someone to test her?" the middle-aged man suggested.

Cheng Dehai shook his head, remained silent for a moment, then said, "Forget it, that brat Gon Ziyi tricked me. I knew it, why would Shen Qiang have nothing better to do than create trouble? Seems he caused trouble multiple times, and infuriated her."

"Sir, no matter what, Ziyi is your grandson. This matter..."

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words beside him, Cheng Dehai replied coldly, "I know what you're thinking. You're thinking I should teach Shen Qiang a harsh lesson, perhaps kill him, then Ziyi's vendetta is settled, but that's a dream."

"Shen Qiang is the Dragon Group's Security Advisor, now able to engage with all alchemists in the cultivation realm. His existence is tremendously important to Huaxia, so you tell Ziyi to behave himself, bullying insignificant ordinary cultivators is fine, but he absolutely cannot harm such an important person."

The middle-aged man hesitated and said, "And what about Sir Gong? He may be upset."

Cheng Dehai cast a cold glance at him and said, "I've been in the Dragon Group for decades. Although I protect my own, I still discern right from wrong. Shen Qiang is strong, aloof but also capable. Tell Ziyi, if he has the ability to handle Shen Qiang, I won't oppose, but if he loses, then he should return home to marry and have children."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Sir, are you not going to see him? If you truly don't intend to act against Shen Qiang, perhaps you should advise him."

Cheng Dehai laughed, looking coldly out of the car, and said, "Only through surviving ordeals can gold be distinguished from sand. Huaxia must possess the power to protect itself, otherwise, it will be eliminated. Cultivators are the same. If Shen Qiang cannot withstand Ziyi's tactics, counting on him to protect Huaxia is a joke."

"Therefore, leave them be." Cheng Dehai sighed, "The survival of the fittest is an eternal truth, and regardless of Qingxuan Fairy's origin, she did speak one truth. Neither I nor the War God saw the Ascension Gate merely because we couldn't let go of the obsessions in our hearts."

With a sigh, Cheng Dehai said, "So go with Gong Ziyi, speak less, act more. If he defeats Shen Qiang, it means Shen Qiang holds no significance, but if Ziyi faces a life-threatening situation, notify me."

"Okay, sir, rest assured."

"Go." Cheng Dehai instructed the car to stop, and the middle-aged man alighted.

He watched respectfully as Cheng Dehai walked away.

The middle-aged man smiled, as a luxury van pulled up next to him. The door opened and he got in.

Immediately, he saw Gong Ziyi lying on the bed, covered with a thin blanket, grimacing.

"What did my grandfather say?"

"Survival of the fittest. He doesn't oppose you dealing with Shen Qiang, and said if you encounter life-threatening danger, you can notify him."

Gong Ziyi sneered at the words, "I knew he wouldn't turn against the Dragon Group War God for me."

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Sir still cares about you."

Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyi remained silent for a moment, then coldly asked another person beside him, "Is our plan proceeding smoothly?"

"Rest assured, Sir. The plan has been arranged perfectly. We believe they will present Shen Qiang with a fatal surprise."
