Chapter 344: Aren't There Too Many Dark Horses?

Liu Qing'er did not intend to pay any attention to the two of them.

She directly sealed their Nascent Souls and collected their Space Rings.

With a flash of her figure, she appeared beside Wang Jianqiang.

She sent the Nascent Souls and Space Rings in front of Wang Jianqiang, "Daoist Friend Wang, here you go."

Wang Jianqiang put away the two Nascent Souls.

His Spirit Sense swept over the two Space Rings, and he took out the Desolate Beads, storing them in his own Space Ring.

"I will accept the Nascent Souls and Desolate Beads; as for the other items in the Space Rings, you may keep them yourself."

Liu Qing'er did not act coy and put away the Space Rings.

With a flash of her figure, she returned behind Wang Jianqiang.

The women looked at Liu Qing'er, all of them showing expressions of amazement.

Liu Qing'er's cultivation might not match any one of them.

But her combat power was terrifyingly fierce.

At the same level.

Aside from Mu Lingxi, I am afraid no one could compare to her!

In the time that followed.

Cultivators kept returning to Desolate City.

Without exception, they were all robbed by Wang Jianqiang.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, only one month remained until the end of the Third Round Assessment.

By now.

Over eighty percent of the examinees in Desolate City had already been robbed by Wang Jianqiang.

The name Wang Jianqiang, after lying dormant for several years, once again resounded throughout the entire Desolate City.

And it was louder than ever before.

Every time someone mentioned his name, they could not help but grit their teeth.

But hindered by the strength of the other party's group, no one ever dared to harbor thoughts of revenge.

……

For these past two months, Wang Jianqiang and the women had been camping out at the teleportation portal.

Although they had not returned to Desolate City, they could still guess their reputation within it.

Regarding this, neither Wang Jianqiang nor the women cared.

Once the benefits were in hand, what did a little loss of reputation matter?

Furthermore, a notorious reputation was not necessarily a bad thing.

This day.

A familiar figure flew in from afar.

Wearing a luxurious robe, their long hair was unbound, dancing wildly.

Their aura was overbearing, their expression arrogant.

Seeing this figure, Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up, "Pay attention, a big fish has come."

Just as Wang Jianqiang was reminding the women.

The figure in the distance also keenly discovered Wang Jianqiang and the others at the teleportation portal.

The arrogance on their face instantly turned into panic.

The overbearing aura on their body dissipated in an instant.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Taking advantage of the fact that Wang Jianqiang and the others had not yet disrupted the Space Power, they used Instant Movement and vanished without a trace.

Their reaction was shockingly fast, as if it were a conditioned reflex.

"Was that person just now, Di?"

Wang Yu Yao looked at the others with a hesitant expression.

After hearing Wang Jianqiang's warning, she had immediately looked over.

However, she only saw a patch of fluctuating space and a trace of a familiar aura.

"It seems like it?"

Mu Lingxi and the others said, feeling somewhat uncertain.

Di had escaped too quickly.

The women hadn't even been able to see his figure before he had already used Instant Movement to escape.

"It was him."

Seeing the hesitation on the women's faces, Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded.

Su Yutong curled her lips, "This guy is too spineless; he talks a big game, but runs away faster than anyone."

Mu Lingxi laughed, "That might not necessarily be true."

Seeing her smile, which was full of deep meaning, Wang Jianqiang, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Xing Li, and Qingcheng all had the same figure appear in their minds simultaneously.

Just at this moment.

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, and he looked up toward another direction.

In that direction, a patch of the void was fluctuating.

However, this spatial fluctuation was almost subsiding, extremely subtle.

If not for the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, it would have been impossible to even perceive it.

Wang Jianqiang's Spirit Sense swept over that void, where he discovered a trace of a familiar aura that was nearly imperceptible.

"Senior Brother, what is it?"

Sensing Wang Jianqiang's abnormality, Mu Lingxi could not help but ask.

Wang Jianqiang withdrew his Spirit Sense and looked at Mu Lingxi, "The one who ran the fastest has appeared."

Mu Lingxi was stunned, then could not help but laugh.

"What are you two talking about? Why can't I understand?" Tushan Youyou was confused and could not help but ask out of curiosity.

Liu Qing'er also looked over curiously.

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

He told them about the matter regarding Ye Lingyun.

Upon hearing this, both of them could not help but chuckle.

……

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, only three days remained until the end of the assessment.

"Alright, that's enough harvesting of the leeks."

Wang Jianqiang turned to look at the women.

"The assessment doesn't end for another three days; there should still be some people who haven't returned. Why don't we camp out for two more days?" Mu Lingxi was still not quite satisfied.

Wang Jianqiang speechlessly pinched her cheek, "In these three months of camping, we have robbed almost every ordinary examinee in Desolate City. Even if there are some who haven't returned, they are only a very small handful."

"There is no need to continue wasting time here."

"Besides, you seem to have forgotten that I, Wanxin Fairy, and Fairy Yun Xin have yet to take the pill examination."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Mu Lingxi stuck out her tongue and did not insist further.

After making up their minds, the group turned and stepped into the teleportation portal.

On the Central Plaza.

It was bustling with noise and excitement.

Especially with the final few days of the assessment, almost all examinees had returned.

The Square was even more lively than usual.

When Wang Jianqiang and his group appeared.

The incredibly lively Square instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone looked at this group, their expressions uniform.

All were a mix of fear and gnashing teeth.

Everyone on the entire Square.

Every single one of them, without exception, had been robbed by Wang Jianqiang and the others.

"Is this considered a welcome ceremony?"

Sensing the gazes from all around, Tushan Youyou could not help but laugh.

Wang Jianqiang rubbed his nose, "I suppose it counts."

As he spoke.

He looked at the Desolate Ranking.

Liu Qing'er had not originally been on the Desolate Ranking.

However, after slaying the brothers Ruan Jinghun and Ruan Jingshan and obtaining the Desolate Qi on them, her ranking rose in one fell swoop to sixteenth place.

Her spot in the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace was considered secure.

After coming back to his senses, he looked at the crowd.

Wherever his gaze landed, the crowd subconsciously retreated.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang chuckled and flew away from the Square.

Behind him, the women followed closely.

After Wang Jianqiang and his group left, the people on the Square breathed a collective sigh of relief.

The deathly silent Square seemed to come back to life.

It became bustling with noise and excitement once again.

However, the topic everyone was discussing was now uniform, all having shifted to matters concerning Wang Jianqiang.

Not long after Wang Jianqiang and the others left.

The Desolate Realm Stele flashed.

A stunningly beautiful woman with golden hair and a golden dress flashed into view.

She ignored the astonished gazes around her.

She looked at the Desolate Ranking on her own.

"Seventh?"

A look of surprise appeared on her face.

On this trip to the Desolate Realm, her goal was to surpass Di and become number one on the Desolate Ranking.

Now it seemed, the goal could only be considered half-completed.

She had indeed surpassed Di, but had failed to reach the top spot.

Because Di had been pushed down to seventh place at some unknown time.

After she surpassed Di, she was only seventh as well.

Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Xing Li, Qingcheng, Tushan Youyou!

Her gaze swept one by one over the six names from first to sixth place.

Her brows furrowed slightly.

Except for Qingcheng, the other names were all very unfamiliar.

They were not those top-tier powerhouses who had already made a name for themselves at the beginning of the Third Round Assessment.

"These dark horses..."

"... are there too many of them?"
