Chapter 157: The Northern District is in an Uproar

~7 min read 1,399 words

After planting a Soul Seal on Bai Wuqing.

Wang Jianqiang turned to look at the four people—Luo Chen, Min Zhangkong, Mu Xiao, and He Yaoguang—who had been feeling uneasy the entire time.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke, "It is a pity that you four have not shown your value. For enemies without value, I generally choose to kill them, once and for all."

As soon as Wang Jianqiang said this, the four of them trembled simultaneously, their complexions instantly turning deathly pale.

"Don't~ I beg you~"

"Daoist Friend Wang~ Daddy~ Grandpa, I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone against you. Please spare your grandson~"

"Let me go, I can be your Soul Slave and do things for you. I am very good at being a dog."

"I am also very good at being a dog, woof woof~"

……

Few people can face death with composure.

The status of a genius only indicates that their cultivation aptitude is extraordinary, but when facing death, their performance is not necessarily better than that of an ordinary person.

In fact, often because of their past privileged lives, they are more attached to the world than ordinary people and perform even worse.

Such is human nature.

Just like Min Zhangkong and the others.

They were the pride of their respective factions, the bright moon among the stars.

Until they entered the Assessment Secret Realm, their lives had always been near perfect.

They were attached to this life and did not want to perish just like that.

Upon hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, they began to wail one after another.

At this moment, they no longer had the arrogance of geniuses, only wishing to continue living and return to enjoy this wonderful life.

In order to seek a glimmer of survival, some even crawled on the ground and started barking like dogs.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqiang curled his lips, "Sigh, I am good at everything, but I have one shortcoming, which is that I am too kind."

"Since you are repenting so sincerely, I will give you a chance to live."

"Let me brand your Soul Origin with a Soul Seal and become my Soul Slave forever, and I will spare your lives."

The four were overjoyed upon hearing this.

"I agree."

"I also agree."

"Many thanks, Grandpa."

"Woof woof~"

……

"Very good."

Wang Jianqiang nodded with satisfaction.

His gaze paused specifically on Luo Chen and Mu Xiao.

These two were the most sensible.

Luo Chen's "Grandpa" was called with genuine feeling, without the slightest awkwardness.

Mu Xiao's dog barking was so realistic it could pass for the real thing, revealing naturalness amidst the sycophancy.

As for Min Zhangkong and He Yaoguang, although their performance was not as good as those two, it was passable.

"From now on, you are all my, Wang Jianqiang's, Soul Slaves."

After planting the Soul Seals in the four people's Soul Origins, Wang Jianqiang swept a stern gaze over them, "In the future, all the Contribution Points you earn must be handed over to me. Private hoarding or unauthorized use is strictly forbidden. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

The four did not dare to hesitate in the slightest and immediately responded loudly.

"Very good."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "I hate disobedient servants the most. I hope you will not play tricks on me, otherwise... don't blame me for being ruthless."

The four's expressions changed upon hearing this, and they nodded one after another.

"However, you don't need to be too pessimistic."

Looking at the four people's dejected expressions as if their entire family had died, Wang Jianqiang's expression softened slightly, "Since you are already my, Wang Jianqiang's, Soul Slaves, as long as you work well for me, I naturally will not treat you unfairly."

"In the future, you need to hand over Contribution Points to me once every six months."

"The person who hands over the most Contribution Points can receive 10% of their total handed-over amount as a bonus. Besides that, they can also receive a reward of a Pill personally refined by me."

"The second and third place can receive a 10% bonus of their own total handed-over amount."

"As for the last person, I'm sorry, you get nothing and can only go drink the northwest wind."

To prevent the four from being lazy in earning Contribution Points and to stimulate their competitive spirit, Wang Jianqiang specifically formulated a reward system for them.

Facts proved that the effect was quite good.

Hearing his words, the four looked at each other, and sparks clearly emerged in their eyes.

Wang Jianqiang smiled inwardly and turned his head to look at Tu Youyou and Mo Wuming, who had already approached.

Wang Jianqiang's series of performances today had brought them too much shock.

Even now, they still hadn't fully recovered.

The looks they directed at Wang Jianqiang still held lingering shock and disbelief.

"Daoist Friend Tu, you should know the whereabouts of Wei Zhongxian, right?"

"Daoist Friend Tu……"

"Daoist Friend Tu?"

It was not until Wang Jianqiang's voice reached them that the two finally reacted.

After regaining her composure, Tu Youyou saw Wang Jianqiang looking at her and hurriedly nodded, "Youyou has never forgotten the instructions of Daoist Friend Wang; every three days, I have taught Wei Zhongxian a lesson, and for three years, there has never been an interruption."

"Moreover, to prevent him from escaping the North City District, I even specifically set up a Maze Array to trap him within it."

"I just finished teaching him a lesson the day before yesterday, and at this moment, he is still in the Maze Array healing his injuries."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang nodded with satisfaction.

"You just need to tell Bai Wuqing and the others the location of Wei Zhongxian."

After speaking, he looked at Bai Wuqing and the others, "This Wei Zhongxian has some history with me; from now on, teach him a lesson every three days. As for the specific details, you can discuss them with Daoist Friend Tu."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Bai Wuqing and the others hurriedly nodded, "Yes."

After Tu Youyou finished briefing Bai Wuqing and the others, Wang Jianqiang took Tu Youyou and Mo Wuming and flew off in the direction of the South City District.

……

"Daoist Friend Wang, Mo must return to heal his injuries, so I shall take my leave now."

Upon returning to the front of the residence, Mo Wuming greeted Wang Jianqiang and entered the residence.

After Mo Wuming left, Wang Jianqiang looked at Tu Youyou, "Daoist Friend Tu, won't you come in and sit for a while?"

Tu Youyou's expression stiffened, "I also need to return to heal my injuries; I will come to visit Daoist Friend Wang once my injuries have fully recovered."

Her injuries were no lighter than Mo Wuming's, and she could not afford to be tossed about.

Lest her injuries become even more severe.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Very well, this is a bottle of Third-tier Healing Pill, which can accelerate the speed of your injury recovery."

"As for the price, you can come find me to discuss it after your injuries have healed."

Tu Youyou's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took it.

A free Pill.

Only a fool would refuse it.

……

After returning to his residence, Wang Jianqiang first took stock of the gains from this trip.

Afterwards, he began to seclude himself for Alchemy.

The gains from this trip to the North City District were not small.

The Space Rings of Tianxingzi, Wu Dao, and Rong Hai, as well as the Mountain Water Cloud Embroidery Skirt—these superficial gains were only one part.

Controlling Bai Wuqing and the others was the true harvest.

It was equivalent to hiring several geniuses ranked at the top of the Battle Stele to earn Contribution Points for him for free, without spending any cost.

With the help of these people, the speed at which he earns Contribution Points in the future will inevitably increase significantly.

The only fly in the ointment was that 5,000 Cultivation Points were consumed in this battle.

Nearly half was spent.

The remaining Cultivation Points were barely enough for him to improve his Alchemy cultivation one more time.

He must hurry to accumulate more.

……

What Wang Jianqiang did not know was that shortly after he left the North City District, the entire North City District had already erupted into chaos because of him.
