Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 2048 - 2051: Shanxiao's Plot

At nine in the morning, Xiu Ju from the Dark Department, her pretty face flushed and her mind filled with the domineering visage of Shen Qiang, gracefully crossed her legs, bent over at the window, not only propping her head with her jade hands but also softly humming a gentle tune, thinking longingly of Shen Qiang.But when the Great Demon Geng Jingyi appeared at the entrance of Sanhe Tavern across the street from the window, leading more than a dozen great demons, Xiu Ju's beautiful eyes instantly glimmered with cold light.

Her snow-white jade fingers swiftly sent a message to Shen Qiang on her phone.

"Geng Jingyi has arrived, please decide quickly!"

In the room, already washed and changed into a shirt, Shen Qiang glanced at the message on his phone, pondered slightly, and then replied, "Stay calm, wait for me to arrive."

After sending the message, Shen Qiang called Bianyi and said, "Have you made the arrangements I asked for regarding the outsourcing?"

"Praise you, my dear boss, the contracts and procedures are all ready, but earlier, we overlooked a small detail, which is that the main body of outsourced work cannot be individuals, meaning not every demon can sign a contract, so those demons responsible for outsourcing must form a company."

"If you don't mind, I can give you a shell company, and then let those demons who want to work join that company."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang said, "Those little details aren't a problem." Saying this, Shen Qiang checked his wristwatch and said, "In half an hour, personally deliver the contract to Sanhe Tavern outside the mountain villa; I'll be waiting for you there."

"No problem, my dear boss, I will be very punctual," Bianyi agreed.

Slightly frowning, Shen Qiang added, "To ensure your safety, bring Zuo Lianghao."

"Oh? Okay." Bianyi immediately put away his playful attitude.

From this change in attitude, Shen Qiang instantly realized that a Dark Department Xiu Ju, who always seemed to find Bianyi unpleasant, definitely hadn't informed Bianyi about the matters concerning the mountain spirit and Geng Jingyi; otherwise, Bianyi wouldn't be so surprised.

But thinking it over might be good.

If Xiu Ju and Bianyi communicated every little detail, wouldn't Shen Qiang be circumvented?

Therefore, letting them get along amicably wasn't a necessary, laborious, and thankless task.

"Ke Bizhu, Ye Guyun, Ji Wei, big guy, you four come with me." Shen Qiang, leaving the mountain villa, called to the four of them.

Then instructed Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, "Gather current personnel, standby at the mountain villa, and immediately head to Sanhe Tavern if there's any change."

"Three seconds is enough time."

After all, Sanhe Town is just outside Heshenghe Mountain Villa, at the intersection of provincial road, national road, and country road, also one of the two main paths out from Heshenghe, with a straight-line distance of only two kilometers—three seconds indeed is enough to get there.

Nodding at Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, Shen Qiang got into Ji Wei's car and said, "Let's go. If they want to play cards, this hand should be played by me first!"

Watching the car leave Heshenghe.

At the Gate of Happiness, Great Demon Tiger Demon Fu Bo, now the Great Elder of Heshenghe, sighed, "This Shen Qiang is becoming more and more domineering; knowing full well Mountain Spirit and Geng Jingyi are plotting against him, he still only brings four people to confront them—that kind of bravery isn't something an ordinary person possesses."

Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing smiled charmingly upon hearing the words, "Uncle Fu, Shen Qiang was someone you had faith in from the beginning; wouldn't he ever disappoint you?"

Great Elder Tiger Demon Fu Bo laughed heartily at the remark, "Of course not, in terms of fighting ability, I'm not the strongest, but in eye power, few are better than me. You being with him is undoubtedly right."

Upon hearing this, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing smiled broadly; for her, Fu Bo's praise of Shen Qiang brought more pride than praise of herself.

And at the same time that Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing revealed a smile,

Two kilometers away in Sanhe Town, inside Sanhe Tavern, the atmosphere was tense enough to make the many great demons struggle to breathe.

"Geng Jingyi, don't hold onto unrealistic fantasies anymore; all demons think Shen Qiang is one of us, saying he's a Dragon Demon infiltrated into the Cultivation World to obtain speech authority for us demons, the Savior; but in reality, that's not the case!"

With a sinister and severe face, Mountain Spirit coldly said, "All cultivators in the Cultivation World clearly understand that Shen Qiang is a cultivator; he killed the Dragon Demon, seized its Essence, and used it for his Foundation Establishment, which is why he has demon aura. In essence, he's an evil cultivator, playing all demons in the palm of his hand."

Upon hearing this, Geng Jingyi, still calm, looked at Mountain Spirit and said, "How Shen Qiang's demon aura came about is not important; what matters is, Heshenghe is now above board, we live here in peace without fear of those orthodox cultivators coming to mess with us, isn't this what we've always longed for?"

"What you say makes sense," Mountain Spirit initially agreed but then turned his words, "But you've underestimated Shen Qiang's sinister intentions. What is the King of Demons? Commanding the world, none dare to disobey—this is the demeanor a King of Demons should have!"

"But now, look, aside from the demons at Heshenghe, who acknowledges Shen Qiang as the King of Demons?"

Geng Jingyi said coldly, "I know you do not recognize him, but Great Sea Demon Yu Jiang, a great demon roaming for four thousand years, how proud he must be! Even he acknowledges Shen Qiang as the King of Demons."

Mountain Spirit sneered, "That's because the Great Sea Demon doesn't live on land; even when he comes ashore, it's just for wandering and briefly staying, so he certainly delights in having a steady stronghold on this land. But we're different; we live on land."

"Moreover, we now live right under Shen Qiang's nose—as the saying goes, can no one snore under his sleeping mat? As long as we refuse to sell ourselves into slavery, Shen Qiang absolutely won't let us go, just like your brother Wu Bu, what a good man he was, chivalrous and kind, helping others; but the result? Wasn't he killed by someone sent by Shen Qiang last night?"

Upon hearing this, Geng Jingyi's face instantly turned cold and grim: "I'll settle this score with Shen Qiang."

Mountain Spirit laughed, "How will you settle it? Shen Qiang only needs to deny, what can you do? And even if he bites back, saying it was I who sent someone, or was just private grudges among demons, you'd have to tolerate it. With your limited strength, fighting Shen Qiang would be like hitting a rock with an egg."

Seeing Geng Jingyi's face turn iron blue, Mountain Spirit smiled confidently and raised his eyebrows, "But if we form an alliance, things would change; I have a patron supporting me. To him, crushing Shen Qiang would be as simple as squashing a stink bug."
