Chapter 192: Godfather?

"Uncle Wang."

After the Array was blasted open, Su Yutong came obediently before Wang Jianqiang and called out in a pretty, delicate voice.

Hearing how Su Yutong addressed Wang Jianqiang, Xing Li was startled and looked at Wang Jianqiang in surprise, "You are her uncle?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Godfather."

Xing Li clearly did not understand the meaning of the two words in Wang Jianqiang's mouth and continued, "I didn't expect there to be such a relationship between you two."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, did not explain further, and turned to look at Su Yutong, "Let's go. Fairy Xingli has already told me everything about your situation; Uncle will handle that Lin Yichen for you."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang."

Su Yutong was delighted upon hearing this.

Immediately after, she seemed to think of something and looked at Xing Li in surprise, "You are Xing Li? The Xing Li who is ranked third on the Shenmu City Battle Stele?"

Xing Li nodded.

Seeing this, Su Yutong could not help but glance at Wang Jianqiang.

She could tell that Xing Li seemed very wary, or even fearful, of Uncle Wang.

Within Shenmu City, Xing Li was an extremely mysterious figure.

She rarely appeared in public, but the few times she had taken action, she had displayed astonishing combat power.

She had not expected such a person to act so cautious and timid in front of Uncle Wang.

It had been a few years, and Uncle Wang seemed to have become even more powerful!

While Mu Lingxi was sweeping through the experts of Shenmu City.

Outside the gates of Shenmu City.

A large number of figures had already gathered upon hearing the news.

These people considered their own strength inferior and did not want to participate in this encirclement and suppression against Su Yutong; they had only come to watch the spectacle.

It was a pity, however, that what disappointed them was that when they arrived outside the city, all they saw was a purple Array.

The scene inside the Formation could not be seen in the slightest.

However, they did not disperse because of this; they wanted to know into whose hands Su Yutong would eventually fall, and they wanted to see which lucky person would be able to obtain that generous reward from Lin Yichen.

While the crowd waited.

Not long after, the purple light screen began to slowly fade.

"It's over?"

Seeing this, the crowd felt a jolt in their hearts.

The duration of this battle was much shorter than they had imagined.

As the purple light screen grew thinner, the scene within was gradually revealed.

The first things to come into view were over twenty human-shaped ice sculptures, with a figure frozen inside each one.

"That is... Luo Li!"

"Lin Feng!"

"Chu Lin!"

When the crowd saw clearly the figures frozen in those ice sculptures, they were all stunned, and then their eyes widened.

These people were all famous experts in Shenmu City, and many were even ranked on the Battle Stele!

At this moment, they were all frozen, their lives cut short!

"Look behind!"

Just then, a cry of alarm suddenly came.

The crowd instinctively looked behind the ice sculptures, and then, five stiff figures lying on the ground, covered in frost, appeared in their line of sight.

Seeing these five figures.

The faces of the crowd immediately revealed a shock far greater than before.

Many people present were extremely familiar with these five corpses.

They were all experts in the top twenty of the Battle Stele, with the strongest among them even reaching twelfth place.

Such powerful five people had actually fallen at the same time!

And looking at the state of their deaths, it was clear that, just like the experts frozen into ice sculptures, they had all died at the hands of the same person!

Who on earth could kill so many experts at once!!!

Thinking of this, the crowd's gazes turned in unison toward the four figures standing among the many corpses.

"Su Yutong is fine?"

"That man and woman look very unfamiliar; where did they come from?"

"Is that one wearing the silver dress... Xing Li?"

Although Xing Li rarely showed herself, there happened to be one person in the crowd who had seen her before.

Upon seeing her, they recognized her instantly and could not help but exclaim aloud.

After this person's exclamation rang out, a commotion immediately broke out in the crowd.

"Xing Li? The Xing Li ranked third on the Battle Stele?"

"It's actually her!"

"Could it be that she killed these people?"

Wang Jianqiang heard the discussion coming from afar and smiled lightly.

"Let's go."

He looked at the three women behind him and walked toward the city.

Behind him, the three women followed closely.

The crowd gathered at the city gate felt their hearts jump at the sight and retreated to both sides in unison, revealing a path leading straight into the city.

Wang Jianqiang and the three others followed this path, walking straight into the city at a steady pace under the gaze of many.

Watching the backs of the four, the crowd was stunned for a moment.

These four were actually led by that man!

Even Xing Li seemed to be following his orders!

Could it be that the experts of Shenmu City here were not killed by Xing Li, but by him?

Not long after.

Su Yutong brought Wang Jianqiang and the other two back to her residence.

"Fairy Xingli, please make yourself at home; there is no need to be formal. Wang and Lingxi have some matters to attend to with Yutong."

"Excuse us for a moment."

Having just returned to the Small Space, Wang Jianqiang left Xing Li in the main hall.

He pulled the flushed Mu Lingxi and Su Yutong into a room.

With a bang, he closed the door tight.

Xing Li was startled, but without thinking much, she found a chair and sat down.

However, not long after she sat down, a series of sounds suddenly drifted faintly from inside the room.

Xing Li froze, and immediately after, her face turned bright red in a flash.

Twenty hours later.

Wang Jianqiang walked out of the room with a face full of smiles.

Behind him, Mu Lingxi and Su Yutong followed closely, both of their faces looking slightly pale.

In the main hall, Xing Li was sitting cross-legged on the floor with her eyes slightly closed; her cheeks, which were usually paler than others, were now flushed red.

Sensing that Wang Jianqiang and the two others had left the room, she opened her eyes, looked at Su Yutong, then looked at Wang Jianqiang, and after a moment of hesitation, she couldn't help but say, "Daoist Friend Wang, this person is your niece. Although cultivators are not bound by worldly conventions,"

"you come from a prestigious and righteous sect like the Junzi Sect, not from lewd and shameless Demonic Sects like the Hehuan, Six Desires, or Flower-Plucking sects."

"Such behavior, if spread, is likely to damage your own reputation and that of your sect."

In this world.

There are many sects named Hehuan.

Wang Jianqiang, Mu Lingxi, and Su Yutong all knew that the Hehuan Sect in Xing Li's mouth did not specifically refer to their own sect.

And they could not deny that sects named Hehuan were indeed almost all Demonic Sects that would stop at nothing.

A Hehuan Sect that followed the rules like the one they came from was almost the only one of its kind.

Therefore, when she mentioned the Hehuan Sect with clear disdain in her voice, none of the three showed the slightest hint of anger.

However, when the three words "Junzi Sect" were spoken.

Su Yutong couldn't help but show a look of confusion.

Junzi Sect?

What kind of sect is that?

She opened her mouth, preparing to speak, but Wang Jianqiang was quick-witted and immediately pressed his palm over her mouth.

He glared at her reproachfully, "You girl, Daoist Friend Xingli is reminding us out of kindness, so just say less."

After speaking, he looked at Xing Li and smiled, "Fairy Xingli, didn't Wang already explain? It is just 'dry' (adopted/nominal)."

Xing Li shook her head, "Even if it is 'dry', it is still somewhat unjustifiable."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "It is also Wang's fault for not speaking clearly. The 'dry' Wang spoke of means there is no blood relationship..."

"Purely dry."
