Chapter 1192: The Back Mountain Array

In the time that followed.

Wang Jianqiang did not let Chen Jiaojiao continue to investigate with her Spirit Sense.

Every day, he would go out once to investigate in secret, attempting to find some clues regarding the powerhouse underground.

For over ten days in a row, he had already searched the entire residential area where he was staying.

Still, he had not obtained the slightest bit of information.

At the same time.

The Transmission Array within the Fox Clan's main clan had gradually quieted down after being busy for more than half a month.

Now, all the major branch clans had arrived.

With the gathering of all the major branch clans, a list called the Heavenly Pride Ranking began to circulate within the Fox Clan's main clan.

This so-called Heavenly Pride Ranking was not drafted by the upper echelons of the Fox Clan's main clan.

Rather, it was an unofficial list.

A list compiled by some busybodies based on information regarding each of the heavenly prides.

This list referenced the daily battle records of the various heavenly prides; while not absolutely accurate, it still possessed considerable credibility.

The list enumerated the fifty strongest heavenly prides among the Fox Clan's main clan and the various branch clans this time.

Among them, more than thirty were heavenly prides from the main clan.

Within the top ten, nine were from the main clan.

From this, one could see.

Just how vast the gap was between the Fox Clan's main clan and the various branch clans.

This day.

Wang Jianqiang, as usual, left his residence once more and began to walk around within the Fox Clan's main clan.

This time.

He did not continue to walk in the area near where he lived, but instead left this area and headed deeper into the Fox Clan's main clan.

He passed through small paths one after another, observing everything around him along the way.

Suddenly.

He saw a small path leading to the back mountain.

His expression stirred.

He followed the path.

Not long after.

He arrived at the end of the path.

At the end of the path was a stretch of desolate, uninhabited mountain forest.

He pondered for a moment and continued to walk forward.

Just as he stepped into the desolate forest.

An invisible force suddenly appeared, bouncing him back to the edge of the desolate forest.

In the desolate forest.

Within a spiritual pool, a figure was sitting cross-legged, soaking in it.

The pool water submerged her fair, slender shoulders, revealing only her long neck and a face of peerless beauty.

Just as Wang Jianqiang touched the Array.

Her slightly closed, beautiful eyes suddenly opened, and a trace of cold luster flashed through her eyes, which were as clear as rippling water.

She slowly stood up from the pool, forming a scene of peerless beauty.

Although she appeared magnanimous.

In reality, that was not the case.

She was not prepared to let off the Cultivator who had trespassed into her Training Ground.

She flipped her palm, took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, and sent a message through it.

After being bounced back, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

Golden light flickered in his eyes as he looked forward.

Under the insight of his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, an Array gradually appeared in his field of vision within the previously empty, void space.

This Array took the edge of the desolate forest as its boundary and completely shrouded the entire forest.

Moreover, the Array was of a high grade.

Now, relying on his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, his limit of insight had reached the Seventh-Order Advanced level.

As he examined the operating trajectory of this Array, he clearly felt the strain.

Clearly, this Array was a Seventh-Order Advanced Array.

The power of this Array was sufficient to withstand a Cultivator at the Void Refinement Perfection Stage!

"With such a powerful Array shrouding this place..."

"Could the secret of the Fox Clan be hidden right here?"

Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred, and he was just about to discern the weak point of this Array to enter it.

A restrictive force suddenly appeared, permeating the space around his body.

This restrictive force was sufficient to restrain any Cultivator below the level of Level 7 Artistic Conception; while not weak, it was far from enough to restrain Wang Jianqiang.

However, Wang Jianqiang did not break free immediately.

He was currently appearing within the Fox Clan ancestral grounds under the identity of Wu Lei; once he broke free, his identity would certainly be exposed.

If this were to draw out that powerhouse beneath the Fox Clan, it would be troublesome.

His backup plan had not yet arrived.

If he were to draw that person out at this moment, he would have no confidence in being able to contend with them.

Just as these thoughts flashed through Wang Jianqiang's mind, an old man flashed into appearance before him.

"To dare to intrude upon Miss Xinwan's Training Ground—today, you shall pay for your crime with your life."

After the old man appeared, he had no further words.

His palm formed a claw, reaching straight for Wang Jianqiang's abdomen.

Seeing that the opponent was ready to start a massacre without a word, Wang Jianqiang frowned.

It seemed he would have to expose himself.

He sighed inwardly, just about to unleash his full power to break free.

The old man seemed to have received some kind of voice transmission; his expression flickered, and he suddenly stopped his attack.

Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred, and he suppressed the urge to erupt with power.

"Heh, you are quite lucky."

"Miss Xinwan does not wish to dirty this place and wants me to take you elsewhere to be executed; as such, you are able to live a little longer."

The old man sneered and moved his intent.

Wang Jianqiang felt his body grow light.

Immediately after.

He discovered that he had already been taken by the old man via Instant Movement away from the Fox Clan ancestral grounds.

They appeared in a deserted wilderness.

"Kid, this place shall be your burial ground."

The old man looked at Wang Jianqiang with a sinister grin, and then, he suddenly froze.

Because he did not see the expected fear on the face of the person before him, but instead saw a trace of disdainful mockery.

Immediately following, a pleasant female voice suddenly entered his ears.

"The burial ground you chose for yourself is not bad."

"It is just a pity that your efforts are destined to be in vain, because you will..."

"Leave no bones behind!"

There was someone else here!

Hearing this suddenly emerging, moving female voice, the old man's expression was one of shock.

Before he could make a move, a spark of fire suddenly landed on his body.

His physical body was instantly burned to ash.

Immediately after, his vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.

When the flames dissipated.

A graceful figure flashed into view.

Chen Jiaojiao tossed the Nascent Soul in her hand toward Wang Jianqiang and smiled at him, "This person really knows how to court death; originally, we were somewhat wary of that old thing beneath the Fox Clan."

"I didn't expect this guy to take the initiative to leave the Fox Clan and help us solve this problem."

Wang Jianqiang caught the Nascent Soul and shook his head with a smile, "He is an Integration mid-stage Cultivator, while on the surface, I appear to be nothing more than a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator."

"With such a large gap, it is normal for him not to take me seriously."

Chen Jiaojiao nodded and looked at the Nascent Soul in Wang Jianqiang's hand, "Uncle Wang, I have preserved a wisp of consciousness within this Nascent Soul; as long as this wisp of consciousness does not dissipate, even if the Fox Clan has means to investigate this person's life or death, they will not be able to detect it."

"You can safely Disguise yourself as him."

"As for his memories, I have already performed Soul Searching for you."

As she spoke, she tapped her finger, and a ray of Spirit Light merged into the center of Wang Jianqiang's brow.
