Chapter 340: Reencountering Liu Qing'er

"Who says we must actively seek them out?"

Hearing the words of Wang Yu Yao and Su Yutong, Wang Jianqiang began to laugh.

"By the final year of the assessment, the examinees will surely enter the final sprint stage."

"There is only one exit to this Desolate Realm; they must return to the Desolate City eventually, right?"

"When that time comes, we only need to wait by the exit like waiting for a hare to crash into a tree, and wait for the leeks to deliver themselves to our door."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Wang Yu Yao and Su Yutong's expressions shifted.

"If we do this, the examinees will inevitably feel insecure, and we will likely provoke public anger."

Just then, Youyou suddenly spoke up.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Public anger? That is not necessarily the case."

"If our strength were only slightly stronger than others, they might be angry."

"But if our strength far exceeds theirs, they will only be afraid."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Youyou looked thoughtful.

Wang Jianqiang shifted his gaze away from Youyou, then fixed it upon Qingcheng.

"Does Qingcheng Fairy feel that Wang is somewhat despicable?"

Qingcheng was startled, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head, "In this assessment, everyone is a competitor; Daoist Friend Wang's actions are understandable."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "The path of immortal cultivation is a road filled with blood and Slaughter Power. Although our Junzi Sect upholds the Way of the Gentleman, we do not act this way toward everyone; that would not be being a gentleman, but an idiot."

"The Way of the Gentleman is only for those who are worthy."

"Just like Qingcheng Fairy and that Ye Lingyun; Wang feels that Qingcheng Fairy is worthy, while that Ye Lingyun is not."

"Does Qingcheng Fairy understand?"

Qingcheng nodded thoughtfully, then smiled lightly, "Daoist Friend Wang actually does not need to explain to Qingcheng; Qingcheng trusts Daoist Friend Wang."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head and said with a sincere expression, "Given our relationship, we will be one family in the future; Wang does not wish for there to be any rift between us."

Qingcheng nodded with a blushing face.

"Ding, Qingcheng's Good and Evil Value has increased. Current Good and Evil Value: 90 points."

Hearing the system notification sound in his mind, the smile on Wang Jianqiang's face grew even richer.

"Return to the Desolate City."

He waved his hand and led the women as they flew toward the outskirts of the Desolate Realm.

The end of the assessment was imminent.

He prepared to take advantage of this year to accumulate some Cultivation Points.

He would raise his alchemy cultivation to the Fourth-tier Advanced level.

Currently, within the Desolate City, although Fourth-tier Mid-grade Alchemists were few and far between, one could never be sure if someone lucky might break through before the assessment ended.

If he wanted to secure first place in alchemy, he had to raise his alchemy cultivation to the Fourth-tier Advanced level.

Half a day later.

Wang Jianqiang was leading the women, flying through the air.

A wave of combat fluctuations suddenly came from ahead.

Immediately after, a woman in a green dress was seen flying over from the horizon.

The Sword Intent on the woman was sharp; she was like a sword with its edge fully exposed.

She seemed to have suffered significant injuries; her peerlessly beautiful face was pale, and a streak of bright red blood hung from the corner of her lips.

Even so, not a trace of panic could be seen on her face.

It was filled only with calmness and determination.

Behind her.

Two figures with intense killing intent were pursuing her aggressively.

"It's her!"

Upon seeing this woman, Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, and Su Yutong all revealed expressions of surprise.

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

Liu Qing'er?

He had not seen her since they parted ways last time.

He had not expected to encounter her in the Desolate Realm.

And looking at her situation, it seemed rather dangerous.

At the same time Wang Jianqiang and the others saw Liu Qing'er.

Liu Qing'er also saw Wang Jianqiang and the others.

Her expression shifted, and she flew straight toward Wang Jianqiang and his group.

Seeing this scene.

The women all revealed expressions of vigilance.

Especially Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, and Su Yutong.

In the Cold Pool Secret Realm.

They had been in a hostile relationship with Liu Qing'er and had clashed head-on.

In their view, with Liu Qing'er rushing over like this, she likely harbored no good intentions.

It was highly probable she wanted to shift the disaster onto them.

Sensing the wariness of the women, Wang Jianqiang smiled.

"No need for that, she's one of our own."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xing Li, Qingcheng, and Youyou Tushan relaxed their expressions.

Wang Yu Yao and Su Yutong, however, were quite surprised.

Mu Lingxi was full of admiration.

As expected of Senior Brother, this ability to turn enemies into friends is truly powerful.

While Wang Jianqiang was speaking with the women, Liu Qing'er had already flown over.

"Daoist Friend Wang."

She first greeted Wang Jianqiang, then looked at the six women behind him.

She nodded toward Mu Lingxi, Su Yutong, and Wang Yu Yao.

Because of Wang Jianqiang's reminder.

The three of them had already let go of their hostility toward Liu Qing'er.

They also nodded back at Liu Qing'er in a friendly manner.

Liu Qing'er seemed not to have expected to receive a response from the three, so she froze for a moment, then smiled.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the bloodstains on Liu Qing'er and said, "Fairy Qing'er, it seems you have encountered some trouble?"

Liu Qing'er nodded and was about to speak.

Whoosh~

Amidst a sound of breaking air, two murderous figures chased after her.

The two first glanced coldly at Liu Qing'er, then swept their gazes over Wang Jianqiang and the others.

Upon seeing Wang Jianqiang, who was in the lead, a sense of familiarity suddenly arose in their hearts.

Their brows furrowed.

They looked again at the six women behind Wang Jianqiang.

A flash of amazement crossed their eyes.

But when they saw Qingcheng, their expressions instantly stiffened.

Qingcheng was a top-tier Monster known to many examinees since the beginning of the Third Round Assessment, so they were naturally familiar with her.

Immediately after, their hearts suddenly stirred.

It was rumored that Qingcheng had an excellent relationship with Wang Jianqiang.

And that Wang Jianqiang was surrounded by a large group of Monster female cultivators.

Could it be...

Their hearts skipped a beat, and they slowly turned their heads back to look at Wang Jianqiang once more.

This face instantly overlapped with the one widely circulated throughout Desolate City today.

The complexions of the two turned pale in an instant.

Their bodies trembled, and they nearly fell from the sky.

It really is Wang Jianqiang!!!!

After two years of fermentation, the news of Wang Jianqiang killing Lv Tongtian and severely wounding the Emperor had long since spread throughout the entire Desolate City.

Almost every examinee knew this news.

The two of them were naturally no exception.

Liu Qing'er actually knew Wang Jianqiang!

If he were to stand up for Liu Qing'er, that would be troublesome!

This is a terrifying existence who could even severely wound a legendary Monster like the Emperor.

Facing him.

They had no chance of winning at all.

Not to mention, he still had those Monster female cultivators by his side.

Thinking of this, the two men's expressions shifted, and they immediately put on a look of reverence, bowing to Wang Jianqiang, "Greetings, Daoist Friend Wang."

"Oh?"

"You know me?"

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

The two nodded, and one of them said, "Daoist Friend Wang, you joke; your feat of killing Lv Tongtian and severely wounding the Emperor has long since spread, and now in the entire Desolate City, who wouldn't know you?"

Hearing their flattery, Wang Jianqiang laughed, the smile on his face very kind.

Seeing this, the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just at this moment, Wang Jianqiang's voice sounded again.

"Since you know me, then it's easy to handle; will you end yourselves, or should I help you?"
