Chapter 193: Heading to the North City District of Shenmu City

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xing Li seemed to realize something.

Her pretty face flushed red.

"Disciples of the Junzi Sect have always spoken their minds; Wang is a bit blunt, so I hope Fairy Xingli will not take offense."

Upon hearing this, Xing Li shook her head.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and continued, "Wang and Yutong are actually fellow disciples, but later I met her father. He was a warm-hearted man who loved making friends and insisted on calling me brother."

"That is why Yutong changed how she addresses me."

Hearing this, although Xing Li was quite puzzled by the actions of Su Yutong's father, she finally understood everything completely.

Realizing she had misunderstood Wang Jianqiang, she could not help but show a hint of embarrassment.

Looking at Wang Jianqiang with some sheepishness, she said, "My apologies, Daoist Friend Wang, it was Xing Li who misunderstood you."

"It is of no consequence."

Wang Jianqiang waved his hand magnanimously.

"Uncle Wang, what is this about the Junzi Sect?"

Just then, Su Yutong's cautious voice reached Wang Jianqiang's mind.

What else could it be?

Naturally, it was because the name Hehuan Sect was too damaging to his image.

One look at that name and it was clearly not a respectable sect.

If he claimed to be from the Hehuan Sect, he feared that if he even glanced at a stranger, she would think he was trying to molest her.

But the Junzi Sect was different; even after molesting someone, they might still think he had some unspeakable hidden hardship.

This is the importance of a first impression!

When out and about, one's identity is whatever one gives oneself.

In this Assessment Secret Realm, where no one knows anyone else, isn't it up to him to decide which sect he comes from?

Of course, he certainly could not say such things to Su Yutong.

He glanced at Su Yutong and sent a voice transmission to her, "As the saying goes, one must always be on guard; when out and about, try not to reveal your true background to others."

"Uncle is deliberately hiding our origins; from now on, you must also claim to be from the Junzi Sect, understand?"

"So that's how it is."

Su Yutong was suddenly enlightened, then cast a look of admiration at Wang Jianqiang and continued the transmission, "Uncle, I understand; you are truly far-sighted."

"Hmm, the child is teachable."

Wang Jianqiang cast a look of approval at Su Yutong.

"Senior Brother, when are we going to deal with that Lin Yichen?"

Just then, Mu Lingxi suddenly looked at Wang Jianqiang, eager to try.

Hearing the name Lin Yichen, a cold light flashed in Su Yutong's beautiful eyes.

Back then, after her first meeting with Lin Yichen, she had sensed the greed in his expression.

Had she not seen that the situation was bad and retreated to the South City District in time before Lin Yichen could make a move on her, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Even so.

Lin Yichen's kill order had made her life miserable.

When she accepted tasks, a large number of Cultivators would suddenly emerge to compete with her.

When she challenged the Heaven-Reaching Tower, as soon as she climbed into the top ten of the Shenmu Ranking, many experts from the North City District would appear to challenge the tower together and push her ranking down.

This caused her speed in earning contribution points to drop significantly over the past two years.

Her cultivation speed had also slowed down a great deal.

If not for knowing that leaving Shenmu City would surely lead to being surrounded and killed, she probably would have left Shenmu City long ago.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Su Yutong, "Niece, what do you think?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's inquiry, Su Yutong was stunned and whispered, "I will listen to Uncle."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Then let's go now."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Su Yutong was startled, "Now? Uncle, you just… don't you need to rest?"

Wang Jianqiang curled his lip.

What did this little bit of exertion count for?

With his Pure Yang Power activated, he had already recovered in this short time.

"A mere Lin Yichen, does that require Senior Brother to take action? I am enough to kill him."

Just as Wang Jianqiang was about to speak, a disdainful voice suddenly came from the side, from Mu Yutong.

Because she possessed the Three Lives Body, although Mu Yutong's recovery ability was not as good as Wang Jianqiang's, it was still extremely astonishing.

At this moment, her physical strength had also recovered quite a bit, and the paleness on her face had faded significantly.

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Wang Jianqiang smiled and waved his hand, "Let's go, to the North City District."

Su Yutong nodded upon hearing this.

With a thought, the four of them disappeared from this Small Space simultaneously.

……

In less than two short days.

The battle outside Shenmu City had already spread throughout the entire city.

Now, the streets of Shenmu City were filled with discussions about that battle.

When the four of them left Su Yutong's residence, they immediately drew many attentive gazes.

Sensing these gazes, Wang Jianqiang swept his eyes across the street.

Those gazes shifted away in a panic.

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

He soared into the sky, shooting off toward the North City District.

Su Yutong, Mu Lingxi, and Xing Li followed closely behind him as they flew out.

"Are they... heading to the North City District?"

Seeing the direction the four had departed in, the gazes of the crowd on the main street flickered.

In Shenmu City, who didn't know about the affair between Lin Yichen and Su Yutong?

With this man taking Su Yutong to the North City District, could he be planning to go head-to-head with Lin Yichen?

Now there would be a good show to watch.

Thinking of this, many Cultivators who considered their own strength to be decent flew off toward the North City District one after another.

Shenmu City, North City District.

Battle Stele Plaza.

The layout here was almost identical to that of Shenfeng City.

On the Battle Stele, 100 names shimmering with Spirit Light also appeared, and located in the first column were, strikingly, the three large characters: "Lin Yichen".

Lin Yichen had reached the top of the Battle Stele with overwhelming strength the moment he entered Shenmu City.

He had once, single-handedly and with ease, defeated the combined forces of the second, fifth, and eighth-ranked powerhouses on the Battle Stele.

Later, when the nine cities reopened, heaven-gifted geniuses from other cities entered to compete for the Battle Stele rankings.

But without exception, they were all easily slaughtered by him.

In Shenmu City, Lin Yichen had already become an invincible existence!

Just like in Shenfeng City, a large number of Cultivators gathered at the Battle Stele Plaza in Shenmu City every day to watch the changes in the Battle Stele rankings.

Especially the day before yesterday, the great battle outside Shenmu City caused a large number of names on the Battle Stele to be wiped away, leading to major changes in the rankings.

This resulted in a large number of busybodies flocking here over the past two days.

It caused the already lively Battle Stele Plaza to double in population.

Just like today.

On the wide Square, the crowd was surging, like a bustling market.

Everyone was watching the rankings on the Battle Stele.

After finishing their look at the Battle Stele rankings, everyone's gaze would involuntarily pause for a moment on the name at the very top of the Battle Stele, and then expressions of awe would appear on their faces one after another.

When in the outside world, they might all be absolute heaven-gifted geniuses within their respective factions.

But there were differences even among heaven-gifted geniuses.

Facing a top-tier existence like Lin Yichen, they were undoubtedly far too mediocre and dared not harbor the slightest bit of arrogance.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

At a certain moment, four figures suddenly shot over, flew straight toward the Battle Stele, and landed on its top.

"Look, someone is stepping on the Battle Stele!"

Someone saw this scene, their expression tightened, and they exclaimed aloud.

Hearing this exclamation, the people around all looked up one after another.

Immediately following, exclamations rang out one after another, instantly spreading across the entire Square.

Everyone looked at the four figures on the Battle Stele, unable to help but reveal expressions of shock and anger.

Who was so bold as to dare to trample on the Battle Stele!

The Battle Stele was the symbol of honor for the entire city.

What was being trampled on here?

It was clearly the face of every powerhouse in Shenmu City!
