Chapter 2014 - 2017: Kang Youcheng's Defiance and Backstabbing Friends

Hearing what the square-faced burly man said, the eyes of the many cultivators present instantly lit up. A representative from the Kunlun Sword Sect immediately got excited and fanned the flames, saying, "Yo, what's the point of this? I thought you two sides had already let go of your past grudges. Qingyun Sword Pavilion only lost a few dozen people, that's all."Instantly understanding his intention was to sabotage Qingyun Sword Pavilion joining Heshenghe, another representative immediately chimed in, "Exactly, only a few dozen people died. You have to look at the bigger picture. Today is a day of celebration, there's nothing that can't be talked out."

Their words made the square-faced burly man's attitude even tougher: "Shut up! I'll say it again: tell Shen Qiang to come down and take one sword strike from me. After that, you can talk however you like, I'll obey unconditionally. But if Shen Qiang doesn't even have the courage to take one sword from me, then such a coward is absolutely not qualified to be the leader of our Qingyun Sword Pavilion!"

"Kang Youcheng!" Knowing full well these two were deliberately bringing up the dead to pour fuel on Kang Youcheng's fire, the furious Second Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion still had no way to argue with them. After all, their intentions were obvious to everyone, but the way they phrased it didn't leave any easy handle to grab onto.

"Elder, no need to say more. My mind is made up. Shen Qiang takes one sword from me, and all past grudges will be written off. If he doesn't take this sword, then this hurdle—no one's getting over it."

Seeing this, the many cultivators from other sects who had come to watch the situation looked at each other and all revealed smug smiles at the corners of their mouths.

Because in fact, in the Cultivation World, for any sect to grow stronger, there are only two ways.

One is for the sect itself to grow stronger, like Shen Qiang, developing step by step, walking his own path, rising up in the cracks.

The other way is to make other sects weaker.

Obviously, once Qingyun Sword Pavilion really joins Heshenghe, then a powerful super-first-rate Heshenghe will definitely rise in the Cultivation World.

More than three hundred Great Demons, more than three hundred cultivators above Nascent Soul Stage, plus the Heshenghe Pill Alliance, and Shen Qiang's intricate background and connections—looking across the Cultivation World, how many people would dare mess with Heshenghe?

Before, any random cultivator could jump out, point at Shen Qiang's nose and say, you're an unorthodox side path, a crooked way. But once Heshenghe really has nearly three hundred cultivators from Qingyun Sword Pavilion, it will no longer be something anyone dares to casually criticize.

Everything will change.

A true powerhouse is about to be born.

The twelve Peak experts of the Cultivation World could very well become thirteen in an instant.

So right now, for those cultivators who don't have the ability to push their own sect up to the Peak, the best method is of course to do everything possible to sabotage this alliance. That way, Heshenghe would still only have three hundred Great Demons. Then, even if they can't match them in other aspects, at least they can still mock Heshenghe as a den of Demons, as an unorthodox sect. But if this goes through—

Who would dare accuse Qingyun Sword Pavilion, which has stood in the Cultivation World for a thousand years with a very good reputation, of being an unorthodox sect?

"Second Senior Brother, don't fall for others' schemes. I already explained all this clearly to you on the way here. How are you losing your mind at this critical moment!" The pale, beardless man was so angry his face flushed red.

The square-faced man, expression still resolute, said sharply, "No need to say more. Our Kang Family has stood in the Cultivation World for a thousand years, and now we have to depend on Heshenghe for survival. Our dignity is already gone. On that matter, you all make the decisions, I can't stop it and don't want to interfere."

"But the blood of the Kang Family cannot be shed in vain. Even if we have to kneel and be slaves, this sword, that Shen Qiang owes me, must be repaid!"

Hearing this, the faces of the many Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples present darkened.

Nobody is stupid.

And no one can really be beaten and killed by others and still have no thoughts about it in their heart.

That's impossible.

If they could, what the people of Qingyun Sword Pavilion truly wanted deep down was more to kill Shen Qiang, wipe out Heshenghe, and restore their former prestige.

"Second Grandpa!"

Just at this moment, the idol-level genius beauty of the Cultivation World, Kang Luoying, had already arrived. The scene before her clearly left her somewhat at a loss.

"Second Martial Uncle, Shen Qiang is a really good person. The past matters were just Jianghu grudges. Didn't we already agree on this?"

"Luoying, this has nothing to do with you. Stay out of it!" Square-faced Kang Youcheng's tone was icy.

This made Bianyi, who had been standing to the side with a calm expression, reveal a helpless bitter smile.

"Why bother? You really don't understand our boss Shen Qiang. With this kind of shouting, you're only setting yourselves up for humiliation."

"Then let Shen Qiang come! What's with all the talk!" Kang Youcheng's expression was resolute.

This situation made the cultivators from the other sects present all secretly smirk with satisfaction.

After all, if Qingyun Sword Pavilion fails to join Heshenghe this time, it means Shen Qiang will find it almost impossible to get such an opportunity again.

Because for cultivators to come to Heshenghe is easy, a simple agreement is enough.

But that would just be a pile of loose sand.

The difference with Qingyun Sword Pavilion is that it has a thousand-year legacy, and its members are mostly from the Kang surname clan. Not only do they have a long history, they also possess a unique and systematic cultivation method that has proven effective over a millennium. If they are in Heshenghe, it will be very easy for Shen Qiang to cultivate new cultivators in the future—just toss them over to Qingyun Sword Pavilion.

But if it's just a bunch of random cultivators, then that becomes difficult.

"Damn, sigh, these lousy cultivators are really bad. At a time like this they bring up those Qingyun Sword Pavilion cultivators who were killed by Heshenghe. Aren't they just stoking the fire? How can this not blow up into a fight?"

"Heh, these cultivators, not a single good one among them. Every last one of them, if you round them up and shoot them and then go investigate afterwards, you still wouldn't find a single wrongful conviction."

"Where did this bunch of坑比 come from, not afraid of stirring up trouble while watching the show. Looks like every one of them is hoping Qingyun Sword Pavilion and Shen Qiang start fighting. Who knows what's going on in their heads."

Compared to the people on-site, all wearing cold smiles and staying silent, the cultivators watching the livestream on their phones had far fewer scruples.

"So damn dirty, this group. They were all giggles and smiles when they came to Heshenghe, acting like they're Heshenghe's best buddies. But before they even got inside, they started laying traps in the dark, digging pits for Heshenghe."

"Who is Shen Qiang? The Medicine King! Sigh, the number one Alchemist. Competing in Alchemy with him might be okay—that at least means Qingyun Sword Pavilion has guts. But this guy wants to compete in swordsmanship with Shen Qiang. Isn't that just bullying?"

"That's a bit much. The matter between Qingyun Sword Pavilion and Heshenghe should already have been agreed on long ago. Today is just a formality plus ironing out some details. Turning face at a moment like this, Qingyun Sword Pavilion really isn't playing this right. If it were me, I'd immediately throw them out."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, each with their own calculations.

And at this moment, a calm laugh came from the back door of the building: "Sure, since we're all going to be on the same side from now on, to avoid any barriers in our hearts, that one sword of yours—I, Shen Qiang, will take it."
