Chapter 264: The Place Where Spiritual Flames Are Conceived

It was unclear whether it was out of extreme anger or a deliberate display of strength to give Ye Lingyun confidence.

The moment Qingcheng finished speaking, a tyrannical aura spread out from her body.

Nascent Soul Middle Stage!

Ye Lingyun's eyes lit up.

Ever since he had become acquainted with Qingcheng, the other party had never truly revealed her strength.

Only now did he realize that the other party's cultivation had actually reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!

Immediately following.

He furrowed his brows, "The Fairy's strength truly exceeds Ye's expectations."

"However, even so, combining the strength of the two of us, it is still too dangerous to deal with that Wang Jianqiang."

Hearing Ye Lingyun's words, Qingcheng smiled, "It is normal for Daoist Friend Ye to have some lingering trauma after suffering quite a few losses at the hands of that Wang Jianqiang."

"But you really do not need to inflate the enemy's morale like this."

"Qingcheng is not being arrogant; within this Desolate City, those who can steadily defeat me do not exceed the number of fingers on one hand."

"That Wang Jianqiang should not be among them."

As she spoke, the aura on her body was already driven to the extreme.

A powerful sense of oppression permeated the area, and Ye Lingyun's body could not help but sink slightly.

"Daoist Friend Ye, what do you think?"

Feeling the pressure permeating the heavens and earth, Ye Lingyun's expression shifted.

Qingcheng was right.

Perhaps he really was making too much of a fuss.

Although Wang Jianqiang had defeated his master back then.

But his master was, after all, only a Soul clone.

Although it possessed the power of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, it lacked the support of a physical body; its power was like duckweed without roots, far from being able to fully exert its strength.

The combat power it could erupt with might not necessarily compare to Qingcheng's.

If he could join forces with her.

Perhaps there really was a chance to kill Wang Jianqiang.

Thinking of this, his mind suddenly became active.

Now that Wang Jianqiang had yet to form his Nascent Soul, it was the best time to deal with him.

If they delayed any longer, who knew when Wang Jianqiang might successfully form his Nascent Soul.

By then, he would become even harder to deal with!

Furthermore.

He still possessed a life-saving item obtained from that ancient building which had helped him form his Nascent Soul.

Even if they failed, he would never be in any danger to his life.

Thinking of this, he immediately made up his mind.

He gritted his teeth and nodded, "Since that is the case, then Ye shall thank Qingcheng Fairy in advance."

"With the Fairy's strength, it might truly be possible to battle that Wang Jianqiang, and with Ye providing support, there is a fifty percent probability of beheading him!"

Possible?

Fifty percent?

Hearing the full measure of uncertainty revealed in Ye Lingyun's words, Qingcheng smiled noncommittally.

It seems Daoist Friend Ye still lacks some confidence in her.

But it does not matter.

Once she reveals her full power and beheads that Wang Jianqiang, Daoist Friend Ye will naturally realize just how much he underestimated her at this moment.

Thinking of this, Qingcheng looked at Ye Lingyun, "Since Daoist Friend Ye has made up his mind, can we return to the previous location now?"

"Otherwise, if we return too late, that Wang Jianqiang will have escaped."

Ye Lingyun nodded.

"Good, let us return at once!"

……

Hum~

On a mountain peak.

Space distorted, and two figures flashed out one after another.

As soon as he appeared, Ye Lingyun felt a familiar aura that had yet to dissipate in this world, and his expression immediately turned cold.

His guess was correct; Wang Jianqiang had indeed come.

Ye Lingyun took a deep breath, suppressing the killing intent that was almost bursting out of his heart.

He looked around; it was completely silent.

He then looked at the scattered bloodstains and broken flesh on the ground, felt the aura that had yet to dissipate within them, and furrowed his brows.

"Ji Ruan and the others are all dead."

Qingcheng nodded, "Ji Ruan's side had three Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators; although their combat power was not considered very strong, the three of them combined could be considered decent."

"To be able to kill them all so quickly, that Wang Jianqiang indeed has some strength."

Her expression was calm as she spoke, showing not the slightest bit of surprise or unease.

It was as if, in her eyes, killing three Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators like Ji Ruan in a short period of time was nothing of note.

"It is a pity that we returned a bit too late; Wang Jianqiang and the others have already escaped." Ye Lingyun shook his head.

"Escape? That is not necessarily the case."

Qingcheng let out a cold laugh.

She flipped her palm and took out a yellowed paper talisman.

She tapped her finger on the paper talisman.

A strand of Spiritual Power merged into the paper talisman, and a flash of Spirit Light immediately lit up on it, slowly hovering above her head.

The soft Spirit Light spread outward.

The next moment, wisps of aura condensed and appeared from the void.

"This is..."

Seeing this scene, a look of surprise appeared on Ye Lingyun's face.

Qingcheng smiled, "This talisman is called a Spirit-Tracking Talisman; it has the effect of condensing and chasing auras, and can condense and isolate the aura left behind by anyone who has been here within the last three hours."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyun's expression turned joyful, "What a miraculous ability; this talisman is simply a sharp tool for tracking!"

Qingcheng nodded.

She was very familiar with the auras left behind by Ji Ruan, the masked woman, and the others.

She waved her palm.

The familiar auras all dissipated.

In the end, only three strands of unfamiliar aura remained.

One strand appeared pale gold in color, while the other two were like light smoke.

"Daoist Friend Ye, you should be able to identify which of these three auras belongs to Wang Jianqiang, right?" Qingcheng said, looking at Ye Lingyun.

Ye Lingyun nodded.

He hated Wang Jianqiang to the marrow of his bones; how could he fail to distinguish the other's aura?

Almost without a moment's thought, he waved his palm.

The two strands of aura that were like light smoke dissipated.

Only that pale golden aura remained.

"It is this one."

He pointed at the remaining pale golden aura, his expression certain.

Qingcheng nodded.

She tapped her finger toward that strand of pale golden aura.

The pale golden aura immediately flew toward the Spirit-Tracking Talisman and merged into it.

After merging with the pale golden aura, the Spirit-Tracking Talisman trembled and then shot off in one direction.

"Daoist Friend Ye, let us follow."

"The Spirit-Tracking Talisman has already merged with Wang Jianqiang's aura and can automatically track the aura he left along the way when he departed."

"It will lead us to find Wang Jianqiang."

Qingcheng reminded Ye Lingyun and took the lead in flying into the sky.

Ye Lingyun's eyes lit up, and he followed closely behind Qingcheng as they flew out.

The two of them shot away at an astonishing speed and disappeared into the horizon.

Wang Jianqiang did not know that the human-shaped opportunity transmitter he had already escaped from had turned back to chase him.

At this moment.

He was leading the women deeper and deeper into the mountain range.

After everyone had been flying for more than half a day.

They clearly felt that the temperature between heaven and earth had risen significantly, and the vegetation all around had become sparse.

Later on.

There was no vegetation left to survive in the surroundings; it was a barren wasteland.

"We are approaching the destination."

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred, and he led everyone to continue flying forward.

After flying forward for nearly another thousand miles.

A bare volcanic crater came into view.

"This is the place!"

Seeing this volcano, Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up.

This was precisely his target.

That place where the Spirit Flame was nurtured.
