Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

Hua Qiangu, along with Tangxin and Mengbao, continued their patrol in Mount Shu. Having just experienced a fierce battle with the Shadow Cult, everyone's expressions were extremely solemn, constantly on guard against any new situations that might arise around them.

As they walked, the little one suddenly tugged at Hua Qiangu's sleeve and said in a childish voice, "Auntie, I'm a little scared. What if those Shadow Cult members suddenly appear again?"

Hua Qiangu stopped, squatted down, and gently patted the baby's head, comforting him, "Don't be afraid, baby. Auntie is here. Even if they dare to come again, we can beat them to a pulp!"

Tangxin chimed in, "Yeah, little one, we're not afraid of them! We just beat them so badly they were running for their lives. If they dare to come back, they're just asking for trouble!"

Upon hearing this, the little one smiled and nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, I believe in Auntie and Sister Sugar Heart. We will definitely be able to drive away all the bad guys!"

At this moment, Hua Qiangu stood up, looked into the distance, and said thoughtfully, "However, we can't just rely on fighting. We need to find a way to thoroughly understand the Shadow Cult's background, how many people they have, and where their stronghold is. Only in this way can we truly eliminate their threat to Mount Shu."

Tang Xin frowned and replied, "Sister Hua Qiangu, you're right, but how are we going to investigate? Those Shadow Cult members are all acting suspiciously, making it hard to find clues."

Hua Qiangu pondered for a moment and said, "I think we can start with the Shadow Cult members we captured. Maybe we can pry some useful information out of them."

Tangxin's eyes lit up, and she said, "Oh, right, how come I didn't think of that? Let's hurry back and check on those who were caught!"

So, Hua Qiangu, Tang Xin, and Meng Bao hurriedly rushed back to the place where the Shadow Cult members were being held.

During their journey, Tang Xin couldn't help but recall some of the things she had experienced with Hua Qiangu, and said, "Sister Hua Qiangu, do you remember when we first arrived near Mount Shu? There were so many unexpected situations back then."

Hua Qiangu smiled slightly, her eyes filled with reminiscence, and said, "Of course I remember, Tangxin. Back then, we weren't very familiar with the surrounding area, and we almost got lost."

Tang Xin smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's fortunate that Master Qingfeng was there and gave us directions, otherwise we don't know how long we would have wandered around in those mountains. Moreover, at that time I wasn't very proficient in using my spells, and I almost messed up at a crucial moment."

Hua Qiangu gently patted Tang Xin's shoulder and comforted her, "But you've become more and more capable since then, and you've always been able to come in handy at crucial moments. Like last time when you helped those disciples who went out to gather information to disguise themselves, if it weren't for you, they might have been discovered long ago."

Tang Xin scratched her head a little shyly and said, "Hehe, that's all thanks to Sister Hua Qiangu for always encouraging me. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have had the confidence to do those things."

The little one listened from the side and asked curiously, "Auntie, Sister Sugar Heart, what are you talking about? Tell me quickly."

Hua Qiangu smiled and picked up the baby, saying, "Baby, we're talking about some little stories that happened when we first came to this area. Back then, Sister Tangxin wasn't as amazing as she is now, but she worked very hard, so she's become incredibly amazing now."

The adorable child blinked her big eyes and said, "Wow, Sister Sugar Heart is so amazing! I want to work hard like Sister Sugar Heart, become very powerful, and then protect Mount Shu with Auntie and Sister Sugar Heart!"

Tangxin patted the baby's head and said, "You're such a good baby, you'll definitely become very amazing."

As they spoke, the group arrived at the place where the Shadow Cult members were being held.

When the disciples on guard saw Hua Qiangu and the others arrive, they quickly bowed and said, "Sect Leader, you've arrived."

Hua Qiangu waved her hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work. How are those people from the Shadow Cult doing now?"

The guard disciple replied, "Sect Leader, they are all still locked up, but they are all very stubborn and refuse to say anything."

Hua Qiangu frowned, walked into the detention cell, looked at the bound Shadow Cult members, and said loudly, "Listen up, you're in our hands now. Don't think you can get away with this! If you obediently tell us about your Shadow Cult, such as your numbers, the location of your stronghold, etc., I might consider being lenient with you. Otherwise, hmph, you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

A member of the Shadow Cult scoffed and said, "Hmph, you think you can make us talk? Dream on! We, the Shadow Cult, are not afraid of you people from Mount Shu!"

The adorable child angrily shouted from the side, "You bad guys, still being stubborn! Auntie has given you a chance, but you don't appreciate it. Don't blame us for being impolite!"

Tangxin chimed in, "Exactly! You think you can get away with it by not telling us? Once we find out, you'll regret it!"

Seeing their stubbornness, Hua Qiangu sighed helplessly and said, "It seems these people won't learn until they see the coffin. We'll have to try a different approach. Tang Xin, don't you know some memory-reading magic? Let's see if we can find any useful information from their memories."

Tang Xin nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Hua Qiangu, I'll give it a try. But this spell doesn't always work, and if their memories are sealed, it might be difficult to handle."

Tang Xin walked up to a member of the Shadow Cult, closed her eyes, and began casting a spell to read memories. After a while, Tang Xin opened her eyes and said with some disappointment, "Sister Hua Qiangu, this person's memories seem to be sealed; I can't read them."

Hua Qiangu comforted her, "It's okay, Tangxin, let's try other people. Surely someone will be able to read it."

Sugar Heart tried several more Shadow Cult members, but the results were not ideal. Either their memories were blocked, or their memories were too vague to obtain useful information.

Just when everyone was getting a little discouraged, a member of the Shadow Cult suddenly spoke up: "Hmph, don't waste your energy. Even if you know, so what? The strength of our Shadow Cult is beyond your imagination. Sooner or later, we will flatten your Mount Shu!"

Upon hearing this, the little one's face turned red with anger, and she shouted, "What did you say? You bad guys, you dare to say you want to flatten Mount Shu! My aunt, my sister Tangxin, and I will never let you get away with this!"

Hua Qiangu coldly looked at the Shadow Cult member who had spoken and said, "Hmph, what a boastful tone! You think you can flatten Mount Shu? That's just wishful thinking! But since you're so confident, I'd like to hear what makes your Shadow Cult so powerful that you're so arrogant?"

The Shadow Cult member chuckled smugly and said, "Hmph, our Shadow Cult leader possesses extraordinary abilities. His magic is powerful, and he has countless experts under his command. Your Shu Mountain sect is nothing but a piece of cake in his eyes. We'll take you down sooner or later!"

Hua Qiangu scoffed, "Hmph, I think it's your leader who's arrogant and conceited. Our Shu Mountain sect isn't to be trifled with either. You tried to ambush us before, but we beat you to a pulp. What's there to be proud of!"

Tang Xin also said, "That's right, no matter how powerful your leader is, he might not be able to beat our Hua Qiangu. Our Hua Qiangu is very powerful!"

The adorable child waved his little hands and said, "Yes, yes, Auntie is the best! Those bad guys are no match for Auntie!"

The Shadow Cult member turned pale with anger and said, "Hmph, don't be so arrogant. Once our leader personally takes action, you'll know what's what!"

Hua Qiangu calmly said, "Alright, then we'll wait for your leader to arrive and see just how powerful he really is. But I'm warning you, if you dare to launch another sneak attack on our Shu Mountain, we will not let you off lightly!"

After saying that, Hua Qiangu led Tangxin and Mengbao out of the detention room.

Tang Xin said with some worry, "Sister Hua Qiangu, after hearing what that Shadow Cult member said, their leader seems to be really powerful. We have to be careful."

Hua Qiangu nodded and said, "Yes, we need to be careful, but we don't need to be afraid of them. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's strengthen the defenses of Mount Shu first, and then continue to find out their background. As long as we are united, nothing can defeat us!"

The little one chimed in, "Yes, yes, Auntie, let's work together to defeat the bad guys!"

Just then, Qingfeng hurried over and, seeing Hua Qiangu and the others, said, "Hua Qiangu, you're here! I just received news that the Shadow Cult seems to be gathering more people, preparing to launch a larger-scale attack on our Shu Mountain. We need to quickly come up with a countermeasure!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu's expression immediately turned serious. She said, "What? A larger-scale attack? This is terrible! Let's hurry to the council hall, gather everyone together, and discuss countermeasures!"

So, Hua Qiangu, Tangxin, Mengbao, and Qingfeng hurriedly headed to the council hall.

Upon arriving at the council hall, Hua Qiangu explained the situation to the representatives of the various peak masters.

A worried voice rang out from a peak master representative: "Sect leader, what should we do? If the Shadow Cult really launches a large-scale attack, the pressure on us will be too great."

Hua Qiangu said firmly, "Don't worry, everyone. Although the pressure is great, we're not completely unprepared. Let's reinforce our existing defenses and have our disciples train harder to improve their combat effectiveness. Also, we need to find a way to take the initiative and not just wait for them to attack us."

Qingfeng also said, "That's right, Hua Qiangu is right. We can send someone to find out the exact location where the Shadow Cult is gathering its forces. Then we can organize an elite force and launch a surprise attack on them before they are ready, disrupting their plans."

One of the peak leaders said, "That's a good idea, but who should we send to gather information? This is a dangerous mission."

Sugar Heart volunteered, "I'll go! I know disguise techniques, so I won't be easily discovered. I'm sure I can handle gathering information!"

Hua Qiangu said with some worry, "Tang Xin, this mission is too dangerous. I'm not comfortable with you going alone."

Tang Xin smiled and said, "Sister Hua Qiangu, don't worry, I'll be careful, and I'm fast, I'll definitely be able to complete the mission and come back."

The adorable child also said, "Sister Sugar Heart, be careful! Auntie and I are waiting for you to come back!"

Hua Qiangu thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, Tangxin, you must be careful. If you encounter any danger, come back immediately, okay?"

Tangxin nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Hua Qiangu, I'm off!"

So, Tangxin used her disguise technique to become an ordinary passerby, and then quietly left Mount Shu, heading towards the direction where the Shadow Cult was gathering its forces.

Hua Qiangu looked in the direction Tang Xin had left and silently prayed, "Tang Xin, you must be safe and sound!"
