Lin Xianshu hadn't expected to fall into a verbal trap once more, rolling her eyes in frustration, yet she found herself speechless.
In the meeting room.
The men of the Lin Family had extricated themselves from the awkwardness of just a moment ago. Lin Xianshu's uncle, who had earlier held Wang Xiaoqiang in low regard, now spoke up, "Hey, don't you all think that Wang Xiaoqiang and our family's Xianshu are quite a good match...?"
"Mmm, I think so too. The two of them look very much like a married couple. I believe we should encourage Xianshu's parents to put more pressure on her in private, to get the two of them married sooner..." another Lin Family man said, and then turned his gaze towards Lin Zhiyuan, "Dad, what do you think?"
"Hmm, given Xianshu's looks, she should be able to hold onto Wang Xiaoqiang. Actually, we don't need to worry too much about this," Lin Zhiyuan stroked his beard, "but in the future, we can't treat Wang Xiaoqiang as a junior anymore. We must show him the same respect as an elder, understand?"
"Understood!"
The crowd chimed in unison.
Before they had finished speaking, they noticed Lin Xianshu, with Wang Xiaoqiang's arm linked in hers, walking in. Instantly, all the seated men of the Lin Family, including the family head Lin Zhiyuan, stood up with an attitude of great respect.
Wang Xiaoqiang felt gratified inside but naturally did not stop her, whereas Lin Xianshu felt awkward. After all, the room was full of uncles and grandfathers of her generation; how could they perform such a ritual upon meeting?
Lin Xianshu spoke to Lin Zhiyuan in a somewhat strange tone, "Grandpa, there's no need to be nervous. Please, have a seat!"
Lin Zhiyuan coughed awkwardly, "Xianshu, given the time, how can we sit still? I'm guessing those evil cultivators will be here soon..."
As if to complement Elder Lin's words, before he even finished speaking, two whirlwinds suddenly started at the entrance of the meeting room.
The whirlwinds weren't big, but they were peculiar because the meeting room was semi-enclosed, with no possibility of wind blowing in. Indeed, within the two whirlwinds, there were also two sinister laughs.
When the whirlwinds dissipated, two figures appeared – two Black-Clad Men. One was chubby and fair-skinned, with a benign smile on his face that made him seem harmless. He looked to be only about twelve or thirteen years old, but the aura he exuded was clearly not that of a mere child. Moreover, his excessively pale face had a hint of demon Qi, while the other looked to be around thirty, with dark skin that could give Bao Qingtian a run for his money. However, his face lacked the honest and solid look of Elder Bao. With narrow eyes and white eyebrows, he looked sinister and terrifying, like the White-Browed Eagle King from a martial arts novel.
"Haha..."
Following their appearance, the two men laughed smugly, scanning the gathered crowd before their gaze fell on Wang Xiaoqiang and Lin Xianshu, prompting a surprised reaction. Clearly, they had not expected to find two cultivators with Golden Core Cultivation here. However, after a brief moment of surprise, they displayed an air of composure and brazenness, especially the Black-Clad Man with the dark face, who, upon seeing Lin Xianshu's peerless beauty, had lust blazing in his eyes, his throat moving violently as though he wished he could devour her on the spot.
"Hehe, White Demon, this girl isn't bad. Make sure not to hurt her later... otherwise, it won't be fun for me..." the Black-Clad Man with the dark face solemnly instructed the fair-skinned one.
"Damn, Old Black, there you go with your nasty habits again—of course, except for the little brother..." the fair-skinned man had a look of disdain on his face.
From the moment these two appeared, they didn't take anyone present seriously, chatting among themselves, while all the men of the Lin Family were so intimidated they dared not speak, with the more timid ones even trembling.
"Little Qiang, these are the Black and White Demon Duo from the world of evil cultivators. The White Demon is at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and the Black Demon is at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, just one step away from Divinity Transformation, so we have to be careful," Lin Xianshu, having spent a long time in the Cultivation Realm, knew much about evil cultivators. As soon as these two appeared, she recognized them as the infamous Black and White Demon Duo of the evil cultivator world, more sinister than Dual-Faced Impermanence and with higher Cultivation Bases. Using her Divine Sense to determine the Cultivation Bases of these two, she quietly warned Wang Xiaoqiang.
In fact, even without the warning, Wang Xiaoqiang could sense the two men's Cultivation Bases. But truth be told, the thought of facing two Nascent Soul Old Monsters made Wang Xiaoqiang anxious, not to mention the Black Demon who was a step away from Divinity Transformation. Realizing the strength of his adversaries, Wang Xiaoqiang's thoughts raced—he knew he needed the element of surprise, a swift decision to strike unexpectedly, without giving them a chance to regroup. Otherwise, should they have the opportunity to attack together, completely eradicating them would not be as easy.
Therefore, at this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang had to pretend, feign weakness, and not appear too powerful. Fortunately, before arriving, he had converted three hundred Spiritual Springs outside his body, which now made his Cultivation Base appear to be at the Late Golden Core Stage. A Late Golden Core Stage presence was something that two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could completely disregard.
Just as Wang Xiaoqiang had anticipated, the Black and White Demon Duo had completely disregarded him, treating him as if he were air. After discussing Lin Xianshu, the Black Demon turned his attention to all the men of the Lin Family and spoke fiercely, "Which one of you is the head of the Lin Family? Stand out..."
Seeing that neither Wang Xiaoqiang nor Lin Xianshu had immediately moved against the two cultivators, Lin Zhiyuan, the Family Head of the Lin Family, was extremely surprised and began to doubt Wang Xiaoqiang's abilities. When questioned, he stepped forward timidly and said, "That would be me."
"Hmm, turns out it's an old Geezer. Listen well, old man, the Black and White Demon Duo are in a good mood today. Hurry up and prepare a table full of food and drink, and have this girl accompany us. While we drink, you better hastily draft a transfer agreement and give us fifty percent of the shares of the Lin Group..."
"What, fifty percent...??" Lin Zhiyuan staggered back two steps, "This, this..."
"What's this? You old goat, go and prepare right now, or I'll crush your neck..." The Black Demon extended a hand toward Lin Zhiyuan, its sharp, claw-like fingers enveloped in a shroud of black qi.
Frightened, Lin Zhiyuan shivered and then turned his gaze toward Wang Xiaoqiang.
Seeing that Lin Zhiyuan still had no intention to act, the Black Demon followed his gaze to Wang Xiaoqiang and once again used Divine Sense to check Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base. Confirming that Wang Xiaoqiang was only at the Golden Core level, he displayed a contemptuous and cruel smile, "Old goat, no need to look at him. He can't save you. If he could, he would've acted by now. Let's do it this way. White Demon, you go kill the kid. It's better if he doesn't get in the way..."
Upon hearing this, all the men of the Lin Family shuddered, their hearts sinking in despair. Wang Xiaoqiang only had Golden Core cultivation? What use was that against a swift defeat? With these thoughts, the men of the Lin Family all fixed their gazes on Wang Xiaoqiang, waiting to see his response.
Wang Xiaoqiang put on an act of timidity. The sight of him made the men of the Lin Family's hearts jump, while they cursed internally... Damn it, so much for Divinity Transformation. This time, even turning to ashes would be an easy way out. You still had to show off, didn't you? Now you're not, are you? Please don't show off, or you'll be struck by lightning!
"Damn it, why is it always me? I'm not going." Upon hearing that he had to kill someone, the White Demon objected with clear unwillingness, crossing his arms and coldly staring at the Black Demon, "This kid is only at the Golden Core level; killing him is easy, but then I'll be branded as a bully. I won't do it. If you want it done, you do it..."
"Fine, if you don't want the bad reputation, I'll take it. Killing someone and making such a fuss about it, tsk..." The Black Demon, eager to possess Lin Xianshu, compromised. He then turned his gaze toward Wang Xiaoqiang, looking at him as if he was a dead man.
Wang Xiaoqiang immediately showed a look of terror, just like a lamb to the slaughter.
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang like that, the Black Demon became even more arrogant, swaggering towards him with a grin, "Little guy, don't be afraid. I'll make it quick, you won't feel a thing..."
"Is that so? The words you've just said are what I was about to say!" In the midst of talking, Wang Xiaoqiang's expression drastically shifted, from fear to a cold smirk. At the same time, all three hundred Spiritual Springs outside his body were drawn in, and his Spiritual Power soared to Divinity Transformation. Then Wang Xiaoqiang launched a Five-Color Spiritual Qi Sword directly through the chest of the Black Demon.
The Black Demon's eyes widened, disbelief shining in them as his pupils constricted from the pain.
The attack had been too sudden, too quick. He had absolutely no time to defend, and Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation had turned out to be Divinity Transformation!
This was something the Black Demon had never imagined.
The Black Demon spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and opened his mouth as if to say something. Yet he could not utter a single word anymore, because the sword had not only pierced his chest but had also penetrated his heart.
He was undoubtedly doomed!
Aside from Lin Xianshu, everyone present was stunned, including the White Demon.
However, the White Demon reacted quickly too. Once his Divine Sense confirmed that Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation was at Divinity Transformation, he disregarded his comrade's fate, and with a sudden leap, shot out like a cannonball toward the conference room window.
Bang!
As his body shattered the window glass, a Five-Color Spiritual Qi Spear that only Wang Xiaoqiang could see struck him, piercing his chest.
Thump, his pale body lodged in the window, unable to get out or back in, presenting a somewhat eerie sight.
After all, the White Demon was only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, weaker than the Black Demon. Overwhelmed with panic, he focused only on escape, neglecting his defenses. That's why a single shot from Wang Xiaoqiang killed him, which was inevitable.
With these two strikes, Wang Xiaoqiang had suddenly struck, making lethal moves with full force. As soon as he acted, he exhibited the tremendous power of the full Five Elements Spiritual Energy.
Two moves had killed two Evil Cultivators, a fate that was bound to happen.
Observing the sudden shift in the situation before them, the men of the Lin Family were dumbstruck, all thinking: Damn, that was an impressive act! (To be continued.
