Upon hearing the question from the powerful cultivator, the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with a cold glint. Not only was her True Yuan ready to erupt, but her heart was also pounding wildly, making her feel almost suffocated.

"He discovered it. No matter how powerful a sect is, they wouldn't have a super strong cultivator at the Dao Fruit Stage work as a server, or that cleaners would work in the dark. If he speaks up again, I'll kill him!"

Concerned for Shen Qiang's safety, Ke Bizhu's beautiful eyes shot up, her emanating hostility almost tangible, making the powerful cultivator instantly aware, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Meanwhile, sensing Ke Bizhu's anxiety, the beautiful heroic thief Jiang Hanyang smiled slightly and said: "Actually, there's nothing strange about it. The Treasure Exhibition is no ordinary event. Without a super strong cultivator present, ordinary disciples wouldn't be able to prevent someone as powerful as you from causing trouble."

These words made the man smile, but when he looked in the direction of the exhibit hall, his eyes grew more suspicious.

"Moreover," at this moment, the beautiful heroic thief smiled and said, "The reason they clean in the dark is because they are all heroes of Baihua Palace. They accidentally lost their sight in a struggle and want to do something for Baihua Palace to believe they are not useless. So, sir please don't mock them for this."

The beautiful heroic thief Jiang Hanyang's words were impeccable.

The powerful man let out an oh, smiled, and looked at the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, saying: "No wonder there's such killing intent. I apologize, every person who dedicates themselves to their sect's cause is a hero, I understand that, so I mean no offense."

Hearing this, Ke Bizhu quietly sighed in relief.

At the same time, the beautiful heroic thief Jiang Hanyang, smiling, placed two room cards in front of him and said: "I hope you enjoy your stay here, good night."

The powerful man smiled, glanced at the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, who really didn't want to talk to him, and said: "Although I always felt there was something strange about you, it's nice to meet you, good night."

With that, the man accompanied by two Mixed Element Realm cultivators took the elevator.

After the elevator doors closed.

A Mixed Element cultivator following behind him praised: "No wonder Baihua Palace, with disciples everywhere, has so many strong cultivators. I didn't expect to see a Dao Fruit Stage expert from Baihua Palace who is also so beautiful today, just upon arrival."

Another person curiously glanced at the powerful cultivator and said: "Boss, I think you have a particular interest in that woman. Will she be an obstacle in our mission this time?"

The powerful cultivator suddenly smiled at the corners of his mouth and calmly raised his eyebrows, saying: "I'm not sure if she's a threat yet, but I'm sure she... has a demonic aura!"

Instantly, the two Mixed Element experts behind the man were stunned, their eyes filled with shock when they met.

At the same time.

In the exhibition hall.

After having already stored the four Magical Treasures of Carefree Valley into his Storage Ring, Shen Qiang glanced at a middle-aged man who looked extremely like an otter, exhausted, trembling just from standing, dripping as if he had just been fished out of the water.

"You can leave now, I'll give you ten seconds to get out. Also, tell Xiu Ju I need her to help me collect evidence, so she can't leave until I do."

Hearing Shen Qiang's instructions, the little demon immediately nodded, bowing: "Rest assured, boss, I'll take care of all this."

With that, he staggered into the restroom, and with the sound of flushing, leaving no trace of his aura.

Checking the time, there was only a minute and forty seconds left for the action.

In fact, if it weren't for the showcase being directly connected to Baihua Palace's cultivators, without the little demon's Secret Technique to block it, taking it would definitely alert Baihua Palace. Shen Qiang would definitely have taken his Magical Treasure at the same time.

But now, taking his Magical Treasure meant nothing.

Out of the five sects exhibiting their Magical Treasures, only the Evil Spirit Armor was still not in his possession.

From the most prudent perspective.

For Shen Qiang to leave quietly now was evidently the best choice.

No one would discover it, no danger, quietly, with even enough time to wrap things up.

However, if the Evil Spirit Armor still remained in Sha Jianming's hands.

Then Shen Qiang would still constantly be threatened.

So, with eyes suddenly bright, Shen Qiang chose to use his True Yuan to touch the Evil Spirit Armor, and attempt to store it into his Storage Ring.

But the moment his True Yuan touched it.

The blood-stained Evil Spirit Armor, like a dead object, suddenly came alive, not only standing by itself but also exuding thick black mist that formed into a humanoid shape.

"As expected, it cannot be taken directly."

With complete clarity in his heart, Shen Qiang sighed, then took out a few snow-white handkerchiefs, sat on the exhibition hall's floor as smooth as a mirror, and attentively wiped the sweat stains left by the middle-aged man who resembled an otter.

The evil spirit that had condensed into black mist remained silent and unnoticed.

Seemingly observing Shen Qiang.

After a few seconds, seeing Shen Qiang not yelling or screaming, he continued to wipe the floor's sweat marks and footprints, while softly saying: "Come with me, you were destined to be a hero; why follow someone as foolish as Sha Jianming?"

"His simple-mindedness means he's easy to control." The evil spirit formed from the black mist quietly said: "And you, clearly are a complicated guy. Someone like you, would go to great lengths to control me."

Having wiped one mark, Shen Qiang seriously cleaned another area on the floor, saying: "I don't have much time to discuss whether it's better to be the head of a chicken or the tail of a phoenix. You just mentioned that his simple mind makes him easy to control, meaning you're clear that you're not actually under his control. So you must understand, now is your golden opportunity."

"His simple mind makes him eager to display his foolish bravery, and after being taunted a little by Baihua Palace, he came to overturn my table. Such a person can't offer you anything but meaningless battles."

The evil spirit was silent for a moment before saying: "What I want, you can't give."

"If you want to be a king or emperor, the ruler for ages, I indeed can't satisfy that. However, if you come with me, I can let you be beneath only one in Heshenghe and above ten thousand."

Hearing Shen Qiang's words, the evil spirit laughed mournfully: "Once the rabbit's gone, the hound is cooked; when the birds are gone, the bow is put away. Even if I fight alongside you against all the heroes under heaven, I will ultimately not escape such a destiny."

Shen Qiang chuckled and said: "A frog at the bottom of a well thinks the tiny bug that falls in is the most delicious delicacy in the world, but for an eagle in the sky, that's nothing but trash it wouldn't bother with."

Looking up at the evil spirit, Shen Qiang smiled and said: "I have a date with the Empress of the Immortal Realm. We agreed to take a tour there. Are you sure you don't want to see it with me?"
