Chapter 134: Wei Zhongxian Bravely Charges into the North City District

After Wang Jianqiang had patiently explained and sworn oaths.

Wei Zhongxian seemed to feel Wang Jianqiang's sincerity, and his expression finally softened.

"That is for the best."

He nodded, then let out a huff, "It is best you do not let me know you have crooked thoughts about Wanxin."

"Otherwise..."

"Hmph~"

He glared at Wang Jianqiang and turned to leave.

"Daoist Friend Wei, please stay your step."

Just as he turned, Wang Jianqiang's voice suddenly reached his ears.

He paused his steps and looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Is there anything else?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at Wei Zhongxian, his expression somewhat hesitant, "There are some words Wang wishes to remind Daoist Friend Wei of, but I fear speaking too deeply to a mere acquaintance, so..."

Wei Zhongxian's expression shifted, and he said indifferently, "Speak freely."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Actually, Fairy Yang once mentioned Daoist Friend Wei to me inadvertently."

Hearing the name Yang Wanxin, Wei Zhongxian, who had been somewhat impatient, felt his impatience instantly dissipate.

He asked eagerly, "What did Wanxin say?"

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment, "Fairy Yang said Daoist Friend Wei treats her very well, your talent in alchemy is quite good, and your appearance and personality are also excellent."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Wei Zhongxian's expression turned joyful, but the moment the joy spread across his face, Wang Jianqiang's voice came again.

"It is just that you lack a bit of mettle."

Lacking mettle?

Wei Zhongxian's face stiffened.

"That is impossible, I, Wei Zhongxian, have never dropped the ball in front of Wanxin, how could she feel I lack mettle?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "The lack of mettle Fairy Yang spoke of does not mean Daoist Friend Wei has a weak personality."

"It refers to the fact that you rarely engage in life-and-death combat with others, your combat power is average, and you do not provide her with enough sense of security."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's explanation, Wei Zhongxian was stunned.

He did not doubt the truth of Wang Jianqiang's words.

Because Wang Jianqiang was right; he truly rarely engaged in life-and-death combat.

The next moment, he came back to his senses and hurriedly looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Since Wanxin has even told Daoist Friend Wang these things, it means she has already accepted Daoist Friend Wang as a friend."

After learning of the high moral character of the Junzi Sect, he was no longer very resistant to Wang Jianqiang associating with Yang Wanxin.

His attention naturally fell upon Yang Wanxin's evaluation of him.

"Did Wanxin tell you what I need to do to make her feel I do not lack mettle?"

Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Wang Jianqiang smiled inwardly.

This fellow had truly taken the bait!

Yang Wanxin had never mentioned Wei Zhongxian to him.

The reason he knew Wei Zhongxian had little combat experience was all a guess.

Wan Yao Valley sounds like a sect centered on Alchemists.

As a top genius within the sect, he would surely be protected by the sect like a precious treasure.

How could they bear to let him fight to the death like an ordinary Cultivator?

"Does Daoist Friend Wei know of the North City District?" Wang Jianqiang said after a moment of contemplation.

Hearing the three words "North City District," Wei Zhongxian's expression changed.

Shenfeng City is divided into two areas, the North and South city districts.

The orderly area they were currently in was the South City District.

The rules of the North City District were completely different from the South City District; it was an area without any rules or constraints.

In the North City District, Cultivators could do whatever they pleased, and it was extremely chaotic.

Many bellicose Cultivators who could not stand the constraints of the South City District's rules had entered the North City District.

Noticing the change in Wei Zhongxian's expression, Wang Jianqiang smiled calmly, "Daoist Friend Wei only needs to leave your name on the Battle Stele in the North City District, and you will surely make Fairy Yang look at you with new eyes."

In the North City District, there were also ways to earn Contribution Points.

However, compared to the Shenfeng Pavilion and Heaven-Reaching Tower of the South City District, they were much simpler and more brutal.

For example, the Battle Stele and the Battle Pavilion.

The Battle Stele was similar to the Shenfeng Ranking of the South City District.

Any battle that occurred within the North City District was within the monitoring range of the Battle Stele.

The artifact spirit of the Battle Stele could determine whether a Cultivator was qualified to be on the ranking based on the strength they displayed in battle, and it would rank those who possessed the strength to be on it.

If the Shenfeng Ranking only reflected the strength of South City District Cultivators from the side, then the Battle Stele ranking was entirely fought for with real blades and guns; it was a true reflection of combat power.

The Cultivators of the North City District were all bellicose, loved to fight and kill, and valued combat power rankings even more than those in the South City District.

Every day, a large number of Cultivators would find others to fight for no reason, just to get on the Battle Stele and make a name for themselves in the North City District.

Precisely because of this, once you entered the North City District, whether or not you clashed with others was entirely out of your own control.

It was very likely that while walking perfectly fine down the street, someone would come at you with a sword.

To be honest, Wei Zhongxian did not want to enter the North City District.

But he very much wanted to prove his mettle in front of Yang Wanxin.

Therefore, after Wang Jianqiang's words fell, he fell into hesitation.

His expression kept changing.

"Daoist Friend Wei, in my opinion, you had better not take the risk."

"The North City District is too dangerous."

"A gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall; it is not worth risking your life just to prove your mettle."

Just then, the voice of Wang Jianqiang arrived at the opportune moment.

Wei Zhongxian had originally been hesitating, but upon hearing these words, he immediately made up his mind.

"Hmph, what do you mean by risking my life? Are you looking down on me?" Wei Zhongxian glared at Wang Jianqiang.

"That is not what I meant, Brother Wang." Wang Jianqiang waved his hands repeatedly.

Wei Zhongxian ignored Wang Jianqiang's explanation and let out a cold snort, "It is just the North City District, isn't it? I have long wanted to go and brave it."

"Daoist Friend Wei has great courage, I admire you." Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang revealed a look of admiration, "If Fairy Yang comes to seek me out to discuss Alchemy again, I will certainly tell her about you bravely venturing into the North City District."

Wei Zhongxian's expression stiffened, "There is no need for that. It will not be too late to tell Wanxin about this after I have achieved some results in the North City District."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "How can that be? If Fairy Yang knew that you went to brave the North City District for her sake, she would surely be very moved."

Wei Zhongxian's heart skipped a beat, and his mouth felt somewhat bitter.

His words just now had been mostly just talk.

Now, if this matter reached the ears of Wanxin, he would likely have to go.

Otherwise, how could he ever hold his head high in front of Wanxin in the future?

However, there was one point where Wang Jianqiang was not wrong.

If he went to brave the perilous North City District for Wanxin, it would certainly make her look at him with new eyes and increase her favor toward him significantly.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth hard.

It is just the North City District, isn't it?

I will go!

One incense stick of time later.

Wei Zhongxian parted ways with Wang Jianqiang with a grave expression on his face.

Judging by the direction he left in, it was precisely toward the North City District.

After his figure disappeared, Wang Jianqiang smiled lightly and continued walking toward the Shenfeng Pavilion.

One hour later.

Wang Jianqiang finished handing in his task, accepted another Alchemy task, and left the Shenfeng Pavilion.

Just as he was walking toward his residence, a figure in a red dress appeared outside Shenfeng City.

Her eyes were like Qiushui, her skin like congealed fat.

Her cold, stunningly beautiful face looked somewhat pale.

It seemed she was nursing an injury.

She looked at the three large, dragon-flying-phoenix-dancing characters for "Shenfeng City" on the city gate.

Her somewhat listless spirit lifted.

"Finally reached a city."

"I wonder if I can find a way to recover from my Soul injury here?"
