Shen Qiang frowned, feeling tense. He knew that he was no longer an unknown figure, but the King of Demons in the Cultivation World, the sole Security Advisor of the Dragon Group, and even the boss of Heshenghe, whose mere presence could cause the city gate tower to tremble.

If anyone found out that Shen Qiang secretly infiltrated the Summer Hotel under the cover of night, rumors would definitely spread everywhere.

"I know it's dangerous, and the challenge is extremely high, but tomorrow night is the only chance we have during the Treasure Display Conference. If we miss tonight, we won't know where the Baihua Palace Master lives, whom she interacts with, or her habits. How can we possibly obtain her iris information?"

The women remained silent.

"Without the iris information, we can't disable the infrared and vibration sensors in the exhibition hall. Even if we manage to deceive those cultivators' Divine Sense and enter the exhibition hall, we would be caught like a turtle in a jar."

Turning to the women, Shen Qiang said, "You all know about the Kunlun Sword Sect causing trouble, right? Qingyun Sword Pavilion, Carefree Valley, and Hidden Sword Villa are sharpening their blades, preparing for battle. If we can't steal those powerful Immortal Artifacts, Heshenghe will certainly be drenched in blood, and all of us seated here might die."

The women sighed upon hearing this, yet felt helpless.

At this moment, the big-eyed Beautiful Demon Feifei suddenly looked at Shen Qiang and said in a low voice, "Boss, if you're determined to go, I won't stop you because all of us demons, though despised by cultivators, have decided to entrust our lives to you when we joined Heshenghe."

"So the fact that you care about us is far more valuable than money."

"However, I must remind you that I excel in gathering intelligence. Although it may seem I possess merely Mixed Element Realm strength, if I abandon my transformation and reveal my true form, my combat power would be no less than that of cultivators at the Dao Fruit Stage."

This statement made Shen Qiang's eyes light up.

Beside him, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu smiled and said, "That's not an empty boast. If Feifei got serious in a fight with me, I might not necessarily win."

Shen Qiang was surprised and pleased.

But just then, Feifei said earnestly, "Even so, I can't silently bypass those strong ones, so if you're truly going, be prepared to be discovered because I can't believe there is anyone who can truly act without a trace."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Perhaps your intuition is right; no one can act without a trace, but don't forget, humanity doesn't have dominance because of physical strength drawing every creature's submission, but because it possesses wisdom not found in other beings."

"So, if you're worried, be ready to support me, but now, I'm going to find her."

After saying this, Shen Qiang adjusted his attire and stepped into the courtyard.

The women were anxious, yet had no other recourse.

"Be careful. We will support you. Even if the treasure isn't stolen, ensure your own safety. If you're discovered, reveal your identity immediately to prevent anyone from taking action against you."

Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing cautiously advised.

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Don't worry. Just wait for my triumphant return."

Saying this, Shen Qiang disappeared from the residence in a flash.

The women watched the direction in which Shen Qiang vanished.

Beautiful Heroic Thief Jiang Hanyang said, "We truly have reached a dead end and have no other options. We can only hope Shen Qiang can achieve something. If he can't, let's be prepared to fight those cultivators."

Meanwhile, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing smiled and said, "Don't forget, he is Shen Qiang, destined to be the King of Demons. If anyone can do it, it's certainly him."

Big-eyed Beautiful Demon Feifei looked at the serious Beautiful Demon Fox and sighed, "I can transform into the wind, yet still can't achieve it. No matter how strong Shen Qiang is, he won't be more powerful than me, so be ready for battle."

After saying that, her graceful figure flashed and vanished.

As the women worried,

under the dim light, Shen Qiang left Baihua Palace's small villa, directly activating Star Moon Protection's invisibility.

Not only that, he also wore the Nightmare mask that Qian Shanxue had initially given him.

Indeed, in this situation, if discovered, it would immediately be known that it was Shen Qiang.

But the undeniable strength of the Nightmare mask was its night vision capability and its ability to keep Shen Qiang's mind lucid.

Walking slowly under the faint streetlights, small snowflakes fell slowly and sparsely from the overcast sky.

It was quite troublesome.

Invisibility only prevents being seen, but the physical presence remains. Therefore, the reaction of snowflakes as one walks would still expose him if seen by others.

Moreover, once the snow thickens enough,

the snow stuck to the soles will melt and leave obvious traces.

Thus, Shen Qiang must reach the Summer Hotel before the heavy snow falls.

But it's very difficult.

Now, in the entire hotel area, there are at least a thousand cultivators.

Activating Star Moon Protection would lose its effect due to the surge of True Yuan.

Therefore, Shen Qiang has no chance to use True Yuan to blow away the snowflakes or dry the snow on his feet.

Since he left that little villa, he was already in the view of many cultivators, whether curious cultivators here, Baihua Palace disciples with hostility towards Shen Qiang, or sinister enemies, they might be hidden somewhere observing.

Cautiously approaching the Summer Hotel.

Putting his phone, watch, and anything that might make a sound into his Storage Ring, Shen Qiang quietly stepped up to the entrance of the Summer Hotel.

Upon stepping under the awning, ensuring no snow,

His heart raced as Shen Qiang carefully untied his shoelaces.

Leaving his shoes in place, Shen Qiang cautiously walked barefoot behind a Baihua Palace maid and stepped into the Summer Hotel.

Inside the hotel.

It had already quieted down.

In the first-floor lounge, some cultivators who hadn't slept were seated.

The reception staff at the front desk sat absentmindedly in the bar area, either playing with phones or daydreaming, while Shen Qiang carefully made his way upstairs.

On the way, he brushed past several groups of cultivators.

On instinct, someone had once scrutinized the spot where Shen Qiang stood.

However, no one could see through the invisibility effect of Star Moon Protection.

Near the stairway from the fourth to the fifth floor, two female cultivators standing vigilantly like hounds were positioned at the guest stop sign in front of the stairs. One female cultivator whispered listlessly, "Hey, what do you think the Kunlun Sword Sect's Sect Leader and Qingyun Sword Pavilion's Great Elder are planning to do seeing our Palace Master so late?"
