Chapter 353: The Ambush of Old Sixth Wang

Wang Jianqiang did not know that the other nine Old Students had already unified their goal.

At this moment.

He was traveling through Yingxin Gorge in the identity of Mu Wei.

The women were separated from him by several dozen miles, trailing far behind.

This distance could perfectly conceal their tracks, and also allow them to arrive at the fastest speed should Wang Jianqiang encounter other Old Students.

After traveling for half a day.

A figure appeared in Wang Jianqiang's field of vision.

This person used Will Power to seal their own aura; a Cultivator who had not manifested their will could not perceive it.

Wang Jianqiang's Spirit Sense could not detect the other's presence.

But his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze could.

His expression shifted.

He slowly moved toward the other person.

Wang Jianqiang knew that with his own concealment ability, once he got within five miles of the other party, he would certainly be unable to hide from them.

Therefore, when he was still about five miles away, he simply and openly revealed his own aura.

Of course.

What he revealed was not his original aura, but the Disguise of Mu Wei's aura.

After he actively revealed his aura.

The figure in front immediately sensed his presence and quickly approached him.

A moment later.

A human figure appeared in Wang Jianqiang's eyes.

Previously, Mu Wei had already confessed the names and appearances of the other nine people to him in full.

Upon seeing this person, the person's name flashed through his mind instantly.

Cheng Li.

According to Mu Wei, this Cheng Li was the person closest to him among the other nine.

Facts proved.

That Mu Wei was still quite honest and had not swindled him.

Upon seeing him, a smile immediately bloomed on Cheng Li's face.

He flew to Wang Jianqiang's side with familiarity.

"Brother Mu, how is the harvest?"

"Sigh, don't mention it."

Wang Jianqiang sighed, "I just encountered three fish at once; I thought my luck was pretty good, but I didn't expect these three couldn't even scrape together a single Desolate Bead."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Cheng Li laughed.

"Brother Mu might not know, but it's not just the fish you encountered that had no Desolate Beads; the ones I, Cheng, encountered didn't either."

"Not only that, among the New Students this term, ninety-nine percent don't have Desolate Beads on them."

A look of surprise appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face, "Is what Brother Cheng says true?"

"Naturally."

Cheng Li smiled, "Does Brother Mu know why this is?"

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, "Mu only thought it was an isolated case and hadn't thought to ask yet; could Brother Cheng enlighten me?"

Cheng Li nodded, "Because these New Students' Desolate Beads have already been snatched away by someone else."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang could not help but show a look of astonishment, "Snatched away by someone?"

"That's right." Cheng Li nodded, "They were snatched by a New Student with a specialty in alchemy named Wang Jianqiang."

"That can't be, right?" Wang Jianqiang showed a look of doubt, "Alchemy Cultivators are notoriously weak; can he snatch the Desolate Beads of these New Students?"

"I, Cheng, was also very surprised when I first heard this news."

A look of marvel flashed across Cheng Li's face, "But this news has already been confirmed by me; it is absolutely true."

"And it's not just these New Students; even those examinees who have already been eliminated were plundered by him once."

"On his person, he has gathered the Desolate Beads of almost all the examinees in Desolate City; the quantity has reached a shocking level."

Wang Jianqiang seemed to have been shocked, and it took him a good while to react, "This Wang Jianqiang is truly a prodigy of a generation; as an alchemy Cultivator, his strength is actually so powerful."

"I think he must be very handsome, right?"

Cheng Li looked at him suspiciously, "What does being a prodigy have to do with whether one is handsome or not?"

"This Wang Jianqiang does indeed have some ability, but he looks just so-so, worse than me, Cheng."

Hearing Cheng Li's words, Wang Jianqiang's expression stiffened, but then he returned to normal and smiled.

Cheng Li did not notice Wang Jianqiang's anomaly.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang, his eyes shining.

"Brother Mu, the Desolate Beads on this Wang Jianqiang are a huge fortune, whether for us or for others."

"Especially that Aofanyu; he is currently collecting Desolate Beads, planning to break through to Second-tier Will, so he certainly won't give up on this fortune."

"With my power alone or yours, it is very difficult to swallow the Desolate Beads on that Wang Jianqiang alone."

"How about you and I join forces?"

"If you and I join forces, not only can we increase the probability of finding Wang Jianqiang, but even if that Aofanyu attacks, we can resist him a little."

Wang Jianqiang heard this and seemed somewhat moved, "How will the harvest be distributed?"

Cheng Li pondered for a moment, "Whoever finds Wang Jianqiang first gets sixty percent, and the other person gets forty percent."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang revealed a kind smile on his face, "Very well, let us do as Brother Cheng says."

Cheng Li moved his consciousness.

A strand of Spiritual Power appeared in mid-air, transforming into the appearance of Wang Jianqiang.

"This person is Wang Jianqiang."

"Next, the two of us shall split up to search for Wang Jianqiang."

"If Brother Mu finds this Wang Jianqiang, send me a voice transmission immediately."

"If I find Wang Jianqiang first, I will also send a voice transmission to Brother Mu at the first opportunity."

"It is a deal." Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Cheng Li continued, "Brother Mu, others have surely received news of this Wang Jianqiang as well; we must find him before anyone else does."

"You head that way, and I will head this way; we shall each be responsible for one area, let us begin the search now."

Having finished speaking, he turned around, about to leave.

Just at the moment he turned.

A Sword Light suddenly flashed past, piercing through his body from the back.

Upon the sword blade, Spiritual Power erupted, rampaging within his body.

His internal organs were instantly heavily damaged, and with a 'puchi' sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to his knees.

He turned his head to look at Wang Jianqiang in disbelief.

"Brother Mu, why?"
