"Let's discuss dealing with Sheng He," another female cultivator said in a hushed tone after ensuring the corridor was empty. "We started this treasure display conference to make Shen Qiang surrender, but who would've thought that Shen Qiang possesses a divine artifact like the Black Blade? Now, if we want to make him yield, the only way is to use force; intimidating him with magical treasures clearly won't work."
The female cultivator who asked earlier nodded seriously and said quietly, "I've heard them say that Hidden Sword Villa, Qingyun Sword Pavilion, and Carefree Valley are already preparing. They plan to act right after the treasure display conference ends, so I guess Shen Qiang and his men won't be returning to Sheng He—they will all die here."
"Hush! Keep your voice down. Are you crazy to say that out loud? This is supposed to be a secret," the female cultivator exclaimed anxiously.
