Watching the beautiful thief Jiang Hanyang, whose eyes sparkled with delight and excitement, Shen Qiang admired appreciatively, "Not bad, the Baihua Palace's plan with the treasure exhibition is merely a show-off, meant to impress, intimidate, and threaten us with unparalleled powerful treasures!"

"What we need to do now is not to beg around everywhere desperately looking for magical treasures, and mindlessly bicker with them about whose treasure is better or more formidable, but to simply haul away all the treasures they are flaunting!"

"It's like pulling out the tiger's teeth; once their top-tier treasures are gone and their power greatly diminished, they'll be forced to behave themselves, stay out of our business, and cease their provocations."

The shapely beautiful thief Jiang Hanyang immediately exclaimed with shining eyes, "Exactly! If their top treasures vanish, they surely won't dare to target our Heshenghe anymore, sparing us conflicts and ensuring everyone's safety."

Shen Qiang nodded.

At this moment, the beautiful demon fox Chu Qing hesitantly said, "Shen Qiang, isn't this a bit unethical? You're the boss of Heshenghe, a big figure; isn't it improper to take without asking?"

Shen Qiang smiled, "Don't be naive. Did they ask us when they came to the Provincial City to snatch business? If it weren't for our abilities, do you think they'd hold a treasure exhibition? They'd rather be sitting on our bones, discussing how to divide Heshenghe's assets."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful demon fox Chu Qing remained silent.

Because that's the reality.

Had it not been for Shen Qiang's sword array suppressing Zuo Lianghao, even if his crime of killing Qingyun Sword Pavilion's young master was exposed, Qingyun Sword Pavilion, Hidden Sword Villa, Carefree Valley, and Baihua Palace would first cooperate to devour Heshenghe, then settle personal grudges.

Otherwise, Zuo Lianghao wouldn't have been so unrestrained initially.

Under those circumstances, with Qingyun Sword Pavilion, Baihua Palace, and Carefree Valley leading the attack and Hidden Sword Villa's Zuo Lianghao following up along with others and various sword arrays releasing waves of assaults.

After the first wave of strong attacks from the sword arrays, Heshenghe would be in ruins, and apart from demons above the Mixed Element Realm, ordinary people and demon cultivators would unlikely survive.

By then, facing their four-way attack, even if someone survived, Heshenghe would crumble.

Especially since it's not only Heshenghe that has demons with Dao Fruit Stage abilities.

Other cultivation sects also have cultivators above Dao Fruit Stage; if they besieged Heshenghe, unless Shen Qiang resorted to using Plague Source for a massacre, Heshenghe would surely lose.

"So what should we do now?" the beautiful demon fox Chu Qing asked.

Shen Qiang laughed, "The Baihua Palace people aren't fools; besides threatening us with the treasure exhibition, they'll be meticulous about the security of those treasures. So to get those treasures, without detailed opportunities and capable members, it's surely impossible."

The beautiful thief Jiang Hanyang exclaimed with bright eyes, "You're right, they are cultivators, and those magical treasures displayed, if hosted, will immediately alert them once we act, like Kang Luoying's Qingyun Sword."

"If she displays the sword, upon any contact, she could instantly retrieve it and use it in battle."

Staring at Shen Qiang, the beautiful thief Jiang Hanyang said, "And this is merely one difficulty; besides, we must also tackle all sorts of security systems and anticipate potential battles; any slip in any part could lead to total failure."

"Therefore, we need competent personnel to handle this," Shen Qiang cast aside to look at the beautiful demon fox Chu Qing with a smile, "I believe among all the demons in Heshenghe, there are surely suitable candidates for this task."

Hearing this, the beautiful demon fox Chu Qing smiled, showing an expression that conveyed 'I knew you would think of this,' she said, "The most suitable ones are undoubtedly that big rat and the flying insect monster; they are proverbial for penetrating any barrier."

"Flying insect monster won't do," Shen Qiang raised his brows without hesitation, "We're in the north, it's winter, and the temperature is extremely low, suddenly seeing an insect would be like shouting to those cultivators, 'The demons are here to steal,' so he absolutely cannot do it."

The beautiful thief Jiang Hanyang nodded, "If it were summer, the flying insect monster would indeed be the best choice, but the season isn't right. If we really want to empty Baihua Palace's treasure exhibition, other personnel must have certain strength."

"Personnel-wise, the minimum requirement is Yang God Realm level strength; this is the basic requisite to evade the observation of powerful individuals' divine sense, besides, those involved must have concealment and escape abilities, combat strength being secondary, as we're there to steal, not rob."

Shen Qiang nodded, "Absolutely, our aim is to make them lose their fangs, abandon their intentions to stir trouble, so fighting is unnecessary unless absolutely required, thus Jiang Hanyang, you decide the personnel allocation, and Chu Qing, provide her with profiles of demons with Yang God Realm abilities, let her choose."

The beautiful demon fox nodded, "Understood, I'll assist her."

Hearing this, the beautiful thief Jiang Hanyang joyfully exclaimed, "Great, with Chu Qing's help, the success rate for this will be much higher, besides the demons of Heshenghe, there's another indispensable person, Hao Deben in network security."

Shen Qiang frowned, "Will the Baihua Palace's treasure exhibition have lots of computers?"

"Modern security technology is quite advanced now, like infrared detectors that trigger alarms through biologically emitted infrared, even if a rat sneaks in it would alarm, and there are vibration sensors, with sensitivity high enough to detect a fly's wing flaps causing vibration will also set off alarms."

"Hence, without resolving these, mere cultivation and plan are futile," the beautiful thief Jiang Hanyang stated seriously.

Shen Qiang nodded, "No problem, I'll call him, but the fewer people know about this matter the better, personnel selection is up to Jiang Hanyang and Chu Qing, but don't reveal to anyone what they will do before actually implementing the plan."

The beautiful thief's eyes sparkled, "Rest assured, boss, I'm well aware of the importance of confidentiality."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled, glanced at his watch, and said, "That's it then, you two start selecting personnel immediately and investigate the details of previous treasure exhibitions, I'll let Hao Deben assist you."

As he spoke, Shen Qiang got up, "You can discuss in this office, it's very safe here, I'll take my leave."

The beautiful demon fox Chu Qing curiously asked, "Where are you going? This is such an important matter, time is tight, shouldn't you stay and help plan?"

Shen Qiang smiled casually, "Though we might not win, it's ultimately a treasure exhibition; if Heshenghe can't present a decent magical treasure, we will surely be ridiculed by the Cultivation World, not to mention Jiang Hanyang has said, to do this our cultivation must at least be at Yang God Realm, I don't want to hold you back."
