Chapter 220: The Gentleman of the Righteous Sect

When Wang Jianqiang arrived at the place where Ye Lingyun's arm had been severed, Ye Lingyun had already crossed into the North City District.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang frowned and stopped.

Since that brat Ye Lingyun had already fled into the North City District, he had no choice but to give up on killing him.

Combat is forbidden in the North City District.

It is not worth losing the opportunity to enter the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace just to kill Ye Lingyun.

Thinking of this, Wang Jianqiang lowered his head to look at the devastated ground beneath his feet.

Just moments ago, Ye Lingyun had his arm severed here.

If he remembered correctly, the severed arm was the very one wearing the White Jade Ring!

Thinking of this, he waved his arm.

The ground suddenly exploded.

Sand and stones flew everywhere.

His gaze shifted, and he keenly locked onto a White Jade Ring amidst the flying debris; with a flick of his finger, the ring mixed in with the sand and stones was instantly frozen in mid-air.

Once the sand and stones had completely settled, he hooked his finger.

He retrieved the White Jade Ring into his palm.

After entering the North City District, Ye Lingyun did not leave immediately.

Instead, he stood at the boundary between the North City District and the South City District, looking at Wang Jianqiang with hatred.

When he saw the scene of Wang Jianqiang taking the Spirit God Ring into his palm, his eyes nearly split from rage.

"Wang Jianqiang, one day, I will make your soul scatter and vanish!"

After saying this, he turned and walked into the interior of the North City District.

He dared not stay here any longer.

He was afraid he would be unable to resist rushing out of the North City District to fight Wang Jianqiang for the Spirit God Ring.

Hearing Ye Lingyun's hate-filled words, Wang Jianqiang curled his lip, "Coward, if you have the guts, come out now; I'll stand right here and let you kill me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyun's body stiffened, then he continued walking forward as if he hadn't heard.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang continued to provoke him, "Is your master inside here? Tsk tsk, she's quite beautiful; I wonder if her true form is hidden in there."

"When I have time, I must enjoy her properly."

Even though Ye Lingyun knew Wang Jianqiang was provoking him, he still couldn't help but pause his steps again, his fists clenching tightly.

That was his master, whom he regarded as his own mother!

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He sealed his five senses and continued walking forward.

Wang Jianqiang chuckled.

He did not continue to provoke Ye Lingyun.

Since the brat had sealed his five senses, he wouldn't hear anything even if he kept talking; it would be a futile effort.

Ye Lingyun had lost the help of the silver-haired Soul Body woman.

This was equivalent to losing his greatest support, and his danger level had dropped significantly.

This trip could be considered quite fruitful.

Thinking of this, he turned and flew toward the wasteland.

……

On the ruins.

The Array that had trapped Wang Yuyao shattered like fragile glass under Mu Lingxi's hand without even lasting a single breath.

Inside the Array.

Because of the blockade of the Trapping Array, Wang Yuyao did not know about the great battle outside.

At this moment, she was still planning how to coordinate with Senior Brother Wang once he arrived to break this Trapping Array as quickly as possible.

When the Array shattered without warning, she was stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, four figures appeared in her sight one after another.

"Lingxi, Yutong?"

Seeing those two familiar figures, Wang Yuyao was startled, then revealed a look of joy and hurriedly stood up.

However, perhaps due to being too excited, she forgot that she was severely injured; as soon as she stood up, she swayed and fell toward the ground.

Seeing this, Mu Lingxi and Su Yutong flashed and appeared by her side, supporting her, and asked with concern, "Senior Sister, are you alright?"

Wang Yuyao shook her head, "It's nothing, I won't die."

After saying this, she looked at the many corpses in the distance, a trace of confusion appearing on her face, "Where is Senior Brother Wang? And what is going on with these people?"

Mu Lingxi shook her head, took out a Healing Pill, and handed it to Wang Yuyao, "Senior Brother has gone to pursue the enemy. As for these people, we can talk about it later. You should focus on healing your wounds first; if Senior Brother returns later and sees you still like this, he will scold us."

Su Yutong nodded in agreement.

Wang Yuyao was the first among them to follow Wang Jianqiang, and she held a very high status in Wang Jianqiang's heart.

This was the main reason why Mu Lingxi, despite now having strength far exceeding Wang Yuyao's, still treated her with such respect.

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Wang Yuyao smiled and took the Pill from her hand.

During the time she was trapped, she had often been attacked by the person who set the array, and the Healing Pills on her person had long since been exhausted.

Mu Lingxi was right; it was better to recover as soon as possible to avoid letting her injuries linger for too long and affecting her foundation.

……

Half an hour later.

A figure appeared on the horizon, rapidly approaching.

Very quickly, that figure appeared above everyone's heads and slowly descended.

Sensing that someone had arrived, Wang Yuyao opened her eyes.

When she saw Wang Jianqiang, she immediately stood up, walked obediently to Wang Jianqiang's side, bowed slightly, and said, "Yu Yao greets Senior Brother."

Wang Jianqiang looked at Wang Yuyao, a smile appearing on his face, and helped her up, "Long time no see, Yu Yao."

"Yu Yao has caused trouble for Senior Brother again."

Wang Yuyao blushed and said with some embarrassment.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head.

He then turned his head to look at the restrained Yun Xin and looked at Mu Lingxi, "Why hasn't this woman been dealt with yet?"

Mu Lingxi said with a grin, "This woman has delicate skin and tender flesh, and she is so beautiful; it would be a pity to kill her. I guessed Senior Brother would like her, so I specifically kept her for Senior Brother."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Su Yutong and Wang Yuyao's expressions remained normal; judging by their demeanor, they did not seem to feel that there was anything wrong with Mu Lingxi's demonic-woman remarks.

Watching this scene, Xing Li's expression flickered.

In her heart, she became increasingly suspicious of the origins of Wang Jianqiang and the others.

At the same time.

Yun Xin, whose heart was as dead as ash, also reacted upon hearing this and looked at Mu Lingxi in great alarm.

"You shameless demonic woman!"

"You will meet a terrible death!"

"I will not submit even if I die."

……

Yun Xin's verbal abuse did not affect Mu Lingxi in the slightest; she continued to look at Wang Jianqiang with a grin, "How is it, Senior Brother? Am I, your Junior Sister, thoughtful?"

A trace of appreciation flashed imperceptibly in Wang Jianqiang's eyes, but his face immediately fell.

"Nonsense!"

He scolded angrily, then said sternly, "Lingxi, how many times have I told you? Our Junzi Sect is a righteous sect of good standing."

"Why do you always refuse to listen, you girl? Acting crazy all day long, what kind of decorum is that? Isn't this smearing the reputation of our Junzi Sect?"

"Furthermore, I am a man of integrity; how could I do such a thing as forcing another?"

"Aren't you just casting me into injustice?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Mu Lingxi was stunned, then reacted and said to Wang Jianqiang with some guilt.

"Senior Brother is right to lecture me; Lingxi knows she was wrong."

"Mm, to know one's mistake and correct it is the greatest virtue." Wang Jianqiang nodded with satisfaction.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Xing Li was stunned.

Recalling Wang Jianqiang's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, a trace of hesitation flashed in her expression.

Could it be that she was being overly suspicious?

Was what Mu Lingxi did just her own personal behavior, a result of her personality?

Meanwhile, Yun Xin had already stopped her verbal abuse and was staring blankly at Wang Jianqiang.

Looking at his serious and upright appearance, an aura of righteousness rushed toward her.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a bit hesitant.
