As Zuo Lianghao excitedly formally joined Heshenghe, rumors were flying all over the Immortal Realm Forum.

"Something big happened! Encountered the Hidden Sword Villa convoy on the highway, they headed straight to Shen City where Heshenghe is located, with nearly a hundred members, none of whom are below the Nascent Soul Stage in cultivation. I guess Heshenghe is done for! They ambushed Qingyun Sword Pavilion and Carefree Valley, losing a lot of soldiers and strength. This time, they're definitely going to be swallowed by Hidden Sword Villa."

"Really? Hahaha, I knew it, that Shen Qiang wasn't anything great, finished this time right? Hidden Sword Villa is best at sword arrays, they aren't afraid of group fights because for them, fighting one enemy is the same as fighting a hundred."

"Hehehe, serves them right! The people of Heshenghe ought to be hacked to death by the swords of Hidden Sword Villa!"

"It's not that there are no consequences, the time just hasn't come yet. God will first make someone crazy before destroying them, this Shen Qiang is too arrogant, humph, dared to court the goddess of my family, serves him right! It's better if he's dead!"

"Mmm, too hateful, for Kang Luoying to be led away by him, when I think about it, my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all hurt, hurry up and let him be hacked to pieces by a thousand swords!"

"Hahaha, rest assured, Shen Qiang is dead for sure, Heshenghe will soon cease to exist too, hahaha, let him flaunt, he thinks he's amazing just because he's cultivating faster than me? Hahaha, I'm alive and he's dead!"

On the forum, envious and hateful cultivators jumped out one after another.

Meanwhile, at the Xu Family in the Liangguang area.

"Nonsense!" The Second Elder of Wanxin Hesheng roared angrily, "These bastards from Hidden Sword Villa, really lawless and disrespectful, can't be tolerated, they actually dare to ambush Heshenghe when Shen Qiang is weak! I'll take people and destroy them now!"

Hearing this, Xu Nan's father's brow furrowed, and he said, "There's no time for that. We can't help him now. Go prepare a statement, saying that my daughter Xu Nan and Shen Qiang are in love and send a blessing letter in the name of Wanxin Hesheng."

"Will it be in time?" The Great Elder said solemnly, "Hidden Sword Villa has already aggressively charged into Heshenghe. Even if we're there now, just talking won't stop them."

Xu's father fell silent, sighed, "Then we can only see if Shen Qiang can get through this. If he does, release the statement first thing tomorrow morning. If he doesn't, then don't send the letter, since Xu Nan will have to get married eventually, and spreading this wouldn't be good."

Hearing this, the Great Elder and the Second Elder both nodded in agreement.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Bai Family,

In a study room decorated with elegant, ancient charm.

A young strategist looked at Bai Shiyi, who was calmly writing with flowing strokes, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Family Head, those cultivators from Hidden Sword Villa are most skilled at sword arrays, each one is almost like a mobile turret. With so many cultivators charging aggressively towards Heshenghe, I'm afraid Shen Qiang might not be able to withstand it."

"Did he ask for help?" Bai Shiyi asked indifferently.

The young strategist hesitated for a moment and replied, "No."

"Then just relax," Bai Shiyi said. "My son-in-law is not someone who would remain helpless and refuse to ask for help, like a stubborn lump of wood."

The young strategist looked at Bai Shiyi and said, "Family Head, Shen Qiang has already done very well. In this situation where he's surrounded on all sides, being able to hold on without showing any sign of defeat proves he is an elite among elites."

"Moreover, the date between our family's eldest daughter and him is approaching, if those cultivators are endless, it will only ruin major affairs."

Bai Shiyi smiled, put down the pen, wiped his hands with a small rag, and said casually, "The young man I, Bai Shiyi, have my eyes on isn't so fragile. He's not a poor scholar without the strength to truss a chicken, he's a powerful force who commands attention through his prowess."

Sitting down in the study, he cut a cigar.

After the young strategist lit it for him, he said calmly, "So this ordeal with Hidden Sword Villa is up to him to overcome; if he can't, then Bai Jiao should marry someone else. If he can, tomorrow we'll send out wedding invitations."

The young strategist hesitated for a moment and said, "Now Qingyun Sword Pavilion and Carefree Valley have already been wiped out by Shen Qiang, Baihua Palace maintains neutrality. If this time Hidden Sword Villa is also resisted by Shen Qiang, then this crisis for Heshenghe will be over, and his Heshenghe will have truly gained a foothold in the Cultivation World. If we still don't act now..."

"Act for what?" Bai Shiyi's eyes turned cold: "The Cultivation World is full of intrigue and the law of the jungle. If Shen Qiang can't stand on his own, do you expect me to let my daughter follow him and live a fugitive life, starving in the Northwest wind? Listen here, Shen Qiang either gets through this, and we'll send the wedding invitations tomorrow, or he's finished, and I'll find another son-in-law for Bai Jiao, get out."

The young strategist sighed helplessly.

Just as he turned to leave, an old man suddenly rushed in.

"Great news! Congratulations, Family Head, congratulations!"

Seeing the elder rush in holding a tablet, Bai Shiyi frowned, "What great news?"

The elder, ecstatic, placed the laptop in front of Bai Shiyi and exclaimed, "Look, just five minutes ago, Zuo Lianghao of the Hidden Sword Villa, one of the Five Tigers of the Cultivation World, publicly announced that he was voluntarily giving up his inheritance rights to Hidden Sword Villa and officially joined Heshenghe."

Bai Shiyi's eyes lit up instantly, "Zuo Lianghao of the Infinite Sword Formation, now that's an amazing young man. He's officially joined Heshenghe, does this mean they're turning against Hidden Sword Villa?"

The elder smiled at these words, "No, the Villa Master of Hidden Sword Villa praised this decision, saying that an outstanding man has ambitions beyond the mountain villa and supports Zuo Lianghao joining Heshenghe. Not only that, they've even declared that they're gifting the ownership of the Five Assistant Swords, which was lost, to Shen Qiang."

Bai Shiyi burst out laughing, "The Zuo family of Hidden Sword Villa really knows how to put gold on their faces. Who doesn't know that the Five Assistant Swords were stolen by Shen Qiang, is it necessary for them to gift it? So does this mean they aren't going to fight?"

The elder laughed, "No, the fight should have already happened, the son-in-law won, that's why they are so honest now."

Bai Shiyi laughed, leaned back in his chair, increasingly proud, and said, "This young man is not bad, reminds me a bit of my youthful self, go prepare, tomorrow send people to widely issue wedding invitations and make our Bai family's relationship with Shen Qiang known, lest those prowling characters try to flaunt in front of Heshenghe."

"Alright, we'll handle it."

After the elder and the young strategist left, Bai Shiyi laughed heartily, "With such an excellent son-in-law, I want to see who in the Cultivation World dares to oppose my Bai Family now!"

At the same time, in the Liangguang area, Xu Family.

Wanxin Hesheng's Second Elder stared with his mouth agape, "What's Hidden Sword Villa up to? Charging aggressively at Heshenghe just to issue such an announcement?"

Xu Nan's father smiled.

He pushed the laptop in front of the Second Elder and said, "Look for yourself, the fellow cultivators on the forum have already seen it clearly, Hidden Sword Villa must have already fought with Shen Qiang, and having lost, they are desperately trying to save face after being embarrassed."
