Hearing someone speak up to save him, Zuo Lianghao, who had a look of despair, flashed a glimmer of hope in his eyes and quickly turned his head, seeing Bianyi striking a righteous pose.

Amidst the towering and burly Wu Zhaoyang and the rugged and imposing Zhan Deyuan, Bianyi, in his fitted suit, appeared extraordinary.

Shen Qiang, who vaguely guessed what he was plotting, suppressed a smile at the corner of his mouth, raising his eyebrows calmly, "Shen Bian, although you are the CEO of Heshenghe, you are not yet qualified to tell me what I should do."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Lianghao hurriedly said to Bianyi, "Sir, save me, and I will surely repay you one day!"

Bianyi smiled at him and then, with a smile, coughed lightly and said, "Yes, as the CEO of Heshenghe, I'm indeed not qualified to dictate what you want to do. But don't forget, I am a partner at Heshenghe and also a director, so I think we two can discuss this matter."

Shen Qiang's face turned cold, and he said sternly, "Discuss what? Zuo Lianghao has repeatedly provoked me, and his intention to harm is obvious. Moreover, Zuo Lianghao is not a good person. Qingyun Sword Pavilion and their Hidden Sword Villa were allies, yet he stabbed Qingyun Sword Pavilion's young master in the back. Such a ruthless person definitely shouldn't be allowed to go unpunished."

Bianyi looked helplessly at Zuo Lianghao, then smiled and said, "Chairman, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda..."

"Pagoda, my ass." Shen Qiang seriously looked into Zuo Lianghao's eyes, raising his eyebrows, "A pagoda can't save lives. Look at his unyielding little eyes. Once he leaves, he will definitely find ways to retaliate against us, so it's better just to kill him once and for all."

With that, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Moreover, this guy has a super magical treasure that can control ten thousand swords. This is a good thing; if I kill him, it's mine."

Upon hearing this, Bianyi secretly laughed in his heart, but on his face, he said seriously, "Chairman, your intention to kill is too heavy." Then, he looked at Zuo Lianghao and said, "Mr. Zuo, I have always admired your talent in cultivation. Even looking at the entire Cultivation World, although you cannot yet compare with our chairman Shen Qiang, you are still one of the exceptional talents. Why sacrifice your life for a magical treasure?"

"So, how about this, Mr. Zuo, hand over the magical treasure to the chairman, and the chairman will spare your life. This way, the chairman gets the treasure and eases his anger, and a gifted talent like you doesn't have to die for it. This would be a win-win situation."

Hearing this, Zuo Lianghao got agitated and yelled, "Don't dream of it; you can kill me, but there's no way I'll hand over the Treasure that controls swords!"

Shen Qiang laughed, "The Treasure that controls swords? Not handing it over? That's okay, even if you swallow it, as long as I kill you, I can still get it."

In an instant, Zuo Lianghao looked ashen.

Looking at the knife in Shen Qiang's hand, he said to Bianyi at the side, "Sir, save me, I won't ever forget your kindness."

And almost simultaneously, Bianyi, smiling, secretly transmitted to Shen Qiang, "Boss, if his Treasure that controls swords is really important to you, you can finish him off now. If the Treasure that controls swords isn't that crucial, I'd like to take this guy on as an underling."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang chuckled in his heart, indeed, Bianyi is a shrewd guy who wouldn't make a move unless there's a benefit, no wonder he came all the way here eagerly, it turns out he was eyeing this intention.

Zuo Lianghao, this person, is ruthless, kills without a blink.

One of the Five Tigers of the Huaxia Cultivation World, known to have the strongest combat power below the Dao Fruit Stage.

He himself was the young master of Hidden Sword Villa and indeed one of the most prominent geniuses in the Huaxia Cultivation World.

He's very arrogant.

Though he looks down on people, he's also very cautious and careful. Before being jointly captured, whether angry or surprised, he always maintained keeping others from getting within two hundred meters of himself.

Because of this, Shen Qiang's Plague Source has never been able to subdue him.

If this guy could really join Heshenghe and become one of them, Heshenghe would certainly grow stronger because of his presence, as at present, Heshenghe isn't lacking in powerful close-combat characters.

But when it comes to possessing long-range or super long-range powerful combat ability demons and cultivators, it's almost a blank slate. Apart from Zhan Deyuan's bow which can shoot a few arrows, no one can rival Zuo Lianghao.

So once Zuo Lianghao joins, compensating for Heshenghe's long-range combat deficiency, Heshenghe's combat power would certainly undergo a qualitative change.

Not only that.

The reason why Zuo Lianghao exhausts every means to obtain Kang Luoying is precisely that, for Zuo Lianghao, who has extremely weak close-combat abilities, the most frustrating aspect is the Sword Array lineage of Hidden Sword Villa.

All disciples practice the Sword Array.

They are formidable in mid-to-long rango Sword Arrays, but once engaged up close, they can't even defeat ordinary Sword Cultivators.

In such cases, no one can help him fend off attacks.

So, he desperately hopes to get Kang Luoying.

Because every disciple of Qingyun Sword Pavilion practices the Qingyun Sword Technique, all of whom are powerful cultivators with strong close-combat abilities. If someone could protect Zuo Lianghao closely, his combat power would undoubtedly rise another level.

After all, if he can control tens of thousands of swords and deploy Sword Arrays without any threat, the destruction would be nothing short of phenomenal.

Moreover, and more crucially, as the boss of Heshenghe, Shen Qiang can't always be at the forefront of every battle. Apart from whether it's dangerous, mainly it's disgraceful.

In other sects, when a fight breaks out, the sect leader sits in the back and watches the disciples battle, bragging loudly. But for Shen Qiang, it'd be hard to win without even intervening once; what's the point in that?

What's more, unless Shen Qiang forever sticks around Heshenghe without going anywhere else, having only one strong explosive point makes it difficult for Heshenghe to truly grow stronger.

Not just that.

Zuo Lianghao's Treasure that controls swords truly is an exceptional magical treasure.

If Shen Qiang hadn't refined a personal space, or if the personal space was too small to hold many flying knives, Shen Qiang would definitely have killed him without hesitation to take the Treasure that controls swords.

But doing so now holds little meaning.

In the short term, ten thousand swords obviously surpass three thousand.

But as Shen Qiang's cultivation level grows, as long as there is enough ability, using the True Yuan sync of the personal space, not to mention ten thousand swords, even a hundred thousand or a million swords wouldn't be impossible.

In such case, what use is the Treasure that controls swords?

In time, when the swords don't outnumber the personal space, it'll be impossible to sell them. As for giving them to subordinates, without talent, they won't be able to control them, and those who can barely use them would just be like sheep to the slaughter. Moreover, after killing Zuo Lianghao, Hidden Sword Villa would definitely be at odds with Heshenghe.

Other than gaining a cumbersome magical treasure, it would be all harm and no benefit.
