Chapter 2388 - 2391: Without Moving, Covering the Heavens with One Hand

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, Yu Wenzi, whose beauty was in no way inferior to the legendary actress Song Weiyin, turned pale, her beautiful eyes filled with terror, unable to conceal them.

Beside her, Jinli Qian Ning was shocked upon hearing this, frowned, and said, "Shen Qiang, I don't understand, since they are enemies, how can you control them?"

Shen Qiang chuckled, then raised his eyebrows calmly, looked at Yu Wenzi with horrified eyes, and said, "Actually, it's a paradox. Those who truly have grievances against the sect would have left long ago. The so-called instability is merely a smokescreen released by the sect."

"Because when everyone knows that a certain person is very dissatisfied within a sect and harbors rebellious thoughts, the first thing the sect's true enemies will do is win them over, use them, and thus the enemy will inevitably surface."

Jinli Qian Ning was somewhat dazed.

The bald Great Sea Demon, Yu Jiang, frowned, "You cultivators love playing these tricks the most, not sure what use they have."

Shen Qiang smiled at Yu Wenzi, whose face was pale, and said, "A weakness known to everyone is certainly not a weakness, but a trap. Because if a sect truly wishes to kill a certain disciple, he could not survive in the sect. Therefore, those who openly express discontent with the sect, known to have rebellious hearts, are likely the most trusted and loyal in the sect, and will execute orders strictly when given."

"Did you guess that those Sea Demons would use them against you?" Uncle Gui asked, eyes wide with surprise.

Shen Qiang smiled, his gaze unwavering as he looked at Yu Wenzi's pale face, and said calmly, "Of course I guessed, because I've done such things too. By infinitely magnifying a weakness, when someone tries to exploit it, then they are certainly enemies, don't you agree, Yu Wenzi?"

Shen Qiang's question made Yu Wenzi, who was pale-faced, pause momentarily before nervously responding, "Yes, of course, there are also some special cases, as everyone's thoughts are different..."

Yu Wenzi tried to explain.

But at this moment, as Shen Qiang looked at her with eyes that seemed to see through everything, she suddenly stopped her rebuttal because she realized that Medicine King Shen Qiang's greatest weakness being lust was just bait prepared for administering poison.

And she was the one who slipped out of the corner and swallowed the poisoned bait.

Yu Wenzi's expression and words made the Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang and Uncle Gui glance at her, but they had no mind to guess what had transpired between her and Shen Qiang. Instead, their attention returned to Shen Qiang.

"Alright, we understand this aspect. You mean to say that those who are known to harbor rebellious thoughts but still hold important positions are bait; this is understandable, but there are still many points that don't make sense, such as the Appraiser on the Bounty Hunter platform, he..."

Shen Qiang laughed, "I posted tasks that can only be seen and accepted by Appraisers, thirty million bounty, enough to make ghosts push the mill."

Everyone was stunned.

"What about that guy in the black market?" The Great Sea Demon King frowned, "He has a deep vendetta against you..."

"It's the Long Yan Sword Sect that has a vendetta against me, not him." Shen Qiang corrected with a smile, "Don't forget what I said before, no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

"I don't understand." The Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang shook his head.

'

Shen Qiang laughed, "Gong Ziyi said a sentence for me in the black market, which is, people from the Abyss must have a contract spirit: take money to relieve disasters for people; if someone accepts a task and then betrays, he will personally send them on their way."

Uncle Gui was confused.

"Does this have anything to do with Emperor's Flag Guns?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "The Bounty Hunter platform is the primary means of income for Abyssal cultivators. All Appraisers in the Abyss Black Market will see the message I post. When he sees me here, thinks of the task content, and Gong Ziyi's words, he immediately understands that following my instructions is the only way to stay alive. Otherwise, even if he survives and returns, Gong Ziyi will send him on his way."

The Great Sea Demon King frowned, "Did you guess it would be that person?"

Shen Qiang shook his head, "No, but it wouldn't matter who it was. Gong Ziyi lost to me, but he still dominates in the Abyss, so regardless of which appraiser sees his words, they'll choose the bounty, as neither I nor Gong Ziyi can be antagonized."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, and then Qian Ning suddenly said, "What about those from the Long Chang ship? Why are they speaking so recklessly along with you?"

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Oh, I had Ji Haiyang publicly state on their family's internal software that the Emperor's Flag Triangular Eagle is a replica of the Emperor's Flag Gun. But unfortunately, although there is only one remaining Emperor's Flag Gun in existence, the Triangular Eagle no longer exists."

Instantly everyone present was silent.

Because it was obvious that with this, the five people firmly asserted that the gun was the Emperor's Flag Gun, leaving no doubts, even if another five people were to be brought in, the result would undoubtedly remain the same.

After all, in the cultivation world, to find trustworthy high-end evaluators for that gun, there are only these five channels.

"So complex, really don't understand how you cultivators think, but fortunately, this matter is resolved." Jinli Qian Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Qiang smiled and turned his gaze towards Yu Wenzi.

Looking at Shen Qiang's teasing smile, Yu Wenzi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said, "Please let me ask one last question, those five appraisers, if they don't know what others think, how would they speak with one voice?"

Shen Qiang laughed, looked at Yu Wenzi's beautiful eyes, and said, "Probing, one might say, I think this seems like the real Emperor's Flag Gun. The second one will follow up saying, yes, it's definitely the Emperor's Flag Gun. The third would say, indeed, it has existed for five thousand years. The fourth and fifth will then automatically complete other conditions, thus the fake Triangular Eagle becomes the real Emperor's Flag Gun. I, Shen Qiang, move without moving, and rule over all with a single hand!"

Upon hearing this, the beautiful Jinli Qian Ning's face blushed red, her eyes brimming charmingly, and she subconsciously squeezed her legs tight.

But upon hearing the same words, Yu Wenzi looked at Shen Qiang's smiling lips, her heartbeat racing, and her nervousness reaching dizzying levels.

"He knows that I am the Executor of the Beauty Trap, and then he brought me here, under the abyss, in the Dragon Palace, with thousands of Great Demons present, even the mighty Tianzhao god can only flee at the sight, I'm probably going to die here..."
