Chapter 1070: Return to the Beast Taming Sect

He is the Biyu City Lord.

In his youth, he was also a heaven-gifted prodigy of his generation.

It was only because he was plotted against by enemies that his foundation was severely damaged and could not be restored.

This led to his cultivation stagnating, making it difficult to progress even a fraction further.

Only then did he come to this remote place, Biyu City, to serve as the lord of a small city.

He never gave up on recovering from his injuries.

During his tenure as Biyu City Lord, he was almost always in a nominal position, rarely concerning himself with the affairs of the city.

Almost all his energy was spent on searching for a method of recovery.

Hard work pays off for those who are determined.

Just a short while ago, he obtained a treasure map.

The destination of the treasure map was the cave dwelling of an ancient powerhouse, and according to various clues, it was highly likely to contain the treasure that could help him recover from his injuries.

But heaven does not always grant one's wishes.

Just when he had everything prepared and wanted to head to that secret place to seek a method for recovery, the Sea Clan army arrived.

Although he devised a plan to break through the encirclement,

facing the pursuit of three Spirit Transformation Stage Sea Clan Cultivators, he ultimately failed to escape and was captured again.

Then, he was discovered by that cultivator surnamed Ye and subjected to humiliation!

"If I can live, I will repay today's humiliation a hundredfold!"

He stared at the back that was about to disappear completely, his voice hoarse and weak, yet bone-chillingly cold.

……

After leaving Biyu City, Wen Ya looked at Wang Jianqiang, pondered for a moment, and spoke softly.

"Daoist Friend Wang, since you don't intend to save that person, you might as well ignore him and let him fend for himself; why did you have to humiliate him?"

"Humiliating him is one thing, but why not cut the weeds and eliminate the roots?"

"Although it is highly probable he won't survive, there is always a 'what if' in everything; creating enemies so needlessly is somewhat unwise."

"Senior Sister Wen Ya is joking. Wang has never humiliated anyone, so how could I create enemies?" Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Wen Ya was startled, "Then just now..."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "That was Ye Lingyun, that piece of trash, doing the humiliating; what does that have to do with me, Wang Jianqiang?"

Wen Ya and Long Er froze.

They only then remembered that Wang Jianqiang's current appearance was not his original face.

……

In a vast lake, several figures were standing upon the water.

A thin, tall man's expression shifted, and he took out a Jade Bead.

From within the Jade Bead, a ray of Spirit Light shot out and merged into the center of his brow.

A moment later, a cold luster suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Daoist Friend, what is it?"

Beside the thin, tall man, someone spoke.

The thin, tall man was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "A genius of my clan's younger generation has fallen."

Hearing the thin, tall man's words, the several figures beside him all revealed expressions of pity.

They were not pitying the dead Sea Giant genius, but rather feeling pity for the human who had killed the Sea Giant genius.

The Sea Giant clan.

An absolute hegemon-level force in the outer Sea Region, and one that is most protective of its own and holds grudges.

Furthermore, the Sea Giant clan possesses an extremely unique method of communication; relying on this, the vast majority of Sea Giants can transmit information before they are killed.

This also makes it so that in the outer Sea Region, almost no one dares to provoke the Sea Giant clan.

Judging from the scene just now, that Sea Giant genius must have transmitted the aura and appearance of the murderer.

Next, what that human will face is the killing intent of the entire Sea Giant clan!

……

One month later.

Wang Jianqiang, Wen Ya, and Long Er, after flying without stop, finally returned to the Beast Taming Sect.

Compared to their impression, the Outer Sect of the Beast Taming Sect had not changed much, but the Inner Sect area and the Core area had become empty.

Flying all the way, they had not seen many figures.

"Curious about where the Inner Sect Disciples and Core Disciples have gone?"

Just then, Wen Ya's voice reached their ears.

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, "Could it be that they all went to fight the Sea Clan cultivators?"

Wen Ya nodded, "Currently, outside Youzhou, Sea Clan powerhouses are leading armies to constantly attack, and inside, Sea Clan stragglers have infiltrated and are constantly causing destruction."

"On the outermost defensive line of Youzhou, the fighting is too intense; those with cultivation below the Spirit Transformation Stage do not have the qualifications to participate."

"But the cultivation of those stragglers is generally not high, just like the ones we encountered near Biyu City before."

"The powerhouses of all major forces have all gone to the outermost defensive line, so these stragglers can only be dealt with by the disciples of the major forces."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

"You brat, you've finally arrived; come over here."

Just at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly reached Wang Jianqiang's mind.

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, and he said to Wen Ya and Long Er, "Brother Wen is calling me; I will go over first."

The two women were stunned, "Brother Wen? Who is that?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head with a smile, "Who else could it be but the Sect Master?"

Upon hearing Wang Jianqiang's reply, a strange look appeared on Long Er's face.

Wen Ya's face immediately turned bright red, "How can you call the Sect Master 'brother'? This... this..."

She seemed a bit too agitated, unable to even get her words out.

Wang Jianqiang curled his lips, "I had already guessed that old geezer Wen Tiansheng was related to you by blood. He is an elder of your clan, isn't he?"

"It doesn't matter, he's not your father; we can just address each other however we like."

Wen Ya's expression froze, and before she could continue speaking, Wang Jianqiang's figure flashed and he vanished.

Not long after, Wang Jianqiang arrived in a grand hall.

There was only one person in the hall, and it was none other than Wen Tiansheng.

"Brother Wen, long time no see?"

Upon seeing Wen Tiansheng, an eager smile immediately appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face.

Wen Tiansheng's mouth twitched, and he pointed to a chair to the side, "Sit."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and did not stand on ceremony.

He sat down brazenly on the chair, "Brother, you called me all the way to the Beast Taming Sect to help; it seems the situation in the Eight Continents Outside the Realm is not very good."

Hearing this, Wen Tiansheng nodded with a solemn expression, "The Sea Region is too vast. Although the force launching the attack on the Eight Continents Outside the Realm this time is only from the part of the Sea Region adjacent to the eight continents, occupying less than one-tenth of the total area of the Sea Region, it is still not something our eight continents can resist."

"Not to mention the other seven continents, Youzhou alone has suffered heavy losses after these years of great war."

"For low-level cultivators, it is easier to say; after being injured, some Healing Pills are easy to obtain, and it is not difficult to recover from injuries."

"But Great Vehicle Stage cultivators are different; once a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator is too severely injured, they must have an Eighth-tier Pill for it to be effective."

"In all of Youzhou, there is only one Eighth-Rank Low-Level Alchemist."

"As an Eighth-Rank Alchemist, you must be very clear about the difficulty of refining Eighth-tier Pills. If you refine one per furnace, a thirty percent success rate is considered remarkable; if you refine multiple per furnace, the success rate drops sharply."

"With only one Eighth-Rank Alchemist, the speed of Alchemy simply cannot keep up with the consumption of the war..."

"Many Great Vehicle Stage cultivators are now fighting while injured, which has also caused the rate of fall of Great Vehicle Stage cultivators in Youzhou to accelerate significantly in recent years..."

"If this continues, it won't be long before the outermost defensive line of Youzhou is breached."

Listening to Wen Tiansheng's solemn tone, Wang Jianqiang's brows had already slowly furrowed, "Brother, do you mean for me to refine Healing Pills for the Great Vehicle Stage cultivators of Youzhou?"
