Chapter 367: Scavenging the Spoils

Hearing Yuan Xuanguang's words, Wang Jianqiang looked at the crowd inside the Xuanguang Chamber of Commerce with a beaming smile.

"One hundred thousand Spirit Stones, that's not a small sum; why aren't you all rushing to claim the reward?"

The crowd inside the Xuanguang Chamber of Commerce felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing this and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Claim the reward?

Are you joking?

They had all seen the terror of this group with their own eyes.

A Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator could be killed by them with a single glance, without them even needing to lift a finger!

In a situation where such immortals were fighting, who would dare to recklessly get involved?

One hundred thousand Spirit Stones was certainly not a small amount.

But one had to have their life to take it!

"Tsk tsk, no one wants it?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and looked at Mu Lingxi, "Lingxi, since everyone is so modest, you go ahead and claim it."

Mu Lingxi's eyes lit up, revealing a look of intense interest.

"Okay."

She nodded like a chick pecking at rice and flew into the air, unable to wait any longer.

Looking toward Yuan Xuanguang from afar, she said, "City Lord Yuan, I know who killed your son."

Hearing the voice coming from afar, Yuan Xuanguang turned his head to look.

When he saw that stunningly beautiful figure in the air, a look of amazement could not help but flash through his eyes.

Such a beautiful woman, and her cultivation had actually reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage!

His first reaction was to capture her and make her his own.

However, upon second thought, he felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

At this moment, he was under the watchful eyes of the public, and doing such a thing would have too great an impact on his reputation.

He was, after all, a City Lord.

His image represented Xuanguang City, and it could not be ruined like this.

Furthermore.

For this woman to have such powerful cultivation at such a young age, her background must not be simple.

Even if he wanted to capture her, he would have to find a time when no one would notice.

Thinking of this.

He immediately suppressed the restless thoughts in his heart, "Fairy, if you could help identify them, Yuan would be most grateful."

Mu Lingxi smiled, "Didn't City Lord Yuan say there was a Spirit Stone reward? Bring it here first."

Yuan Xuanguang remained silent for a moment upon hearing this.

He flicked his finger.

A patch of Spirit Stones appeared.

He waved his arm.

A dense swarm of Spirit Stones flew toward Mu Lingxi.

He was not worried about being swindled.

In fact, he was even looking forward to the other party cheating him.

That way, he would have a legitimate reason to capture her.

Mu Lingxi reached out and grabbed, collecting all the Spirit Stones.

She pointed a jade-white finger down at Wang Jianqiang, "It was him who killed your son; your son's corpse is right beside him."

"Tsk tsk, he died a miserable death."

A flash of killing intent crossed Yuan Xuanguang's expression upon hearing this.

His figure flashed, and he appeared above the Xuanguang Chamber of Commerce.

He looked into the Xuanguang Chamber of Commerce.

He then clearly saw several corpses inside the entrance.

His son, Yuan Ye, was among them.

Seeing this scene.

His eyes immediately split with rage.

He looked coldly at Wang Jianqiang and the others.

When he saw the four women behind Wang Jianqiang, his expression froze.

His eyes could not help but brighten.

Immediately after.

He sensed the aura of Wang Jianqiang and the others.

He raised his eyebrows.

Four Nascent Soul Early Stage, one Golden Core Perfection?

And they were all so young!

Where did so many monster-like figures come from?

Following that.

He sneered in his heart once more.

So what if they are monsters?

Although Xuanguang City is not large, he, Yuan Xuanguang, is no pushover.

Daring to kill his only son means they must pay with their lives to atone for their sins.

What's more.

The four women behind this boy are all Superior Grade, which makes it even more impossible to let them go.

However, with so many eyes watching, some face-saving words still need to be said.

At the very least, once it spreads, he can still claim the moral high ground.

Thinking of this, he looked coldly at Wang Jianqiang, "Boy, daring to kill in my Xuanguang City, and killing Yuan's only son at that, this grudge is irreconcilable."

"You shall all stay behind to atone for your crimes."

After speaking, not giving Wang Jianqiang a chance to talk, he opened his palm and lunged fiercely at Wang Jianqiang.

He knew very well what kind of character his son had.

Once the other party started talking, the logic might not necessarily be on his side.

Just at the moment Yuan Xuanguang extended his palm.

A chilling aura suddenly came from behind him.

His expression startled, and he decisively gave up attacking Wang Jianqiang and the others.

He turned around rapidly, his palm striking backward.

Puchi!

The next moment.

The Spiritual Power permeating his palm was instantly shattered.

A long sword wreathed in cold air pierced directly through his palm and stabbed into his chest.

A terrifying cold aura erupted.

The vitality of his internal organs was instantly severed, and his body was rapidly frozen.

In the split second before his body was completely frozen, a Nascent Soul flew out with a panicked expression.

Looking at Mu Lingxi, it was filled with disbelief.

He was not a brainless or careless person.

In fact.

While he was attacking Wang Jianqiang and the others, he had been secretly guarding against Mu Lingxi the whole time.

He had sensed it the moment the other party made a move.

He had also reacted in time.

It was just that he hadn't expected.

The other party's cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, yet her strength was actually this formidable!

The power he, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, had gathered in his palm with all his might was as fragile as tofu dregs under the other party's attack!

Yuan Xuanguang's gaze lingered on Mu Lingxi for a moment, and his heart stirred.

With an ugly expression, he looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Are you all in this together?"

"You guessed right."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "I'll reward you by letting you reunite with Yuan Ye and his father."

While speaking.

He pointed a finger.

A brilliant streak of Five-Colored Spiritual Power shot out.

A strong sense of impending death welled up in Yuan Xuanguang's heart.

He fled in terror, a shrill sound coming from his mouth.

"You cannot kill me! Even a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator cannot forcibly break the City Protection Array of Xuanguang City; if you kill me, no one will be able to leave Xuanguang City."

"You will all be trapped here and die!"

Wang Jianqiang's expression did not change in the slightest.

Under the control of his intent, the Five-Colored Spiritual Power caught up to Yuan Xuanguang's Nascent Soul at an astonishing speed.

"No—"

"Ah!!"

The shrill scream resounded throughout the entire Xuanguang City.

The center of the Five-Colored Nascent Soul was pierced through, Yuan Xuanguang's consciousness was extinguished, and the screaming stopped abruptly.

In the horrified gaze of countless people.

Wang Jianqiang reached out and collected Yuan Xuanguang's Nascent Soul.

At this moment.

The entire Xuanguang City fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's gaze turned toward the direction of the Xuanguang Chamber of Commerce, completely dazed.

The dignified City Lord of Xuanguang City, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator!

Just died like this?

What kind of background did those people have?

A Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator was actually so vulnerable before them.

City Lord's Mansion.

Yuan Xuanguang had many powerful subordinates.

There was even a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator.

After seeing Yuan Xuanguang fall.

Their first reaction was not to rush up to avenge the City Lord, but to flee the City Lord's Mansion at the fastest speed possible.

They were impatient to draw a line between themselves and the City Lord's Mansion, fearing that the few who had slain the City Lord would arrive and misunderstand something.

In front of the Xuanguang Chamber of Commerce.

The crowd all around swallowed hard, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Wang Jianqiang ignored the crowd around him and looked at a woman in front of the Xuanguang Chamber of Commerce, the very same female attendant who had served them earlier.

"Is this Xuanguang Chamber of Commerce a property of Yuan Xuanguang?"

The woman did not seem to expect Wang Jianqiang to speak to her suddenly; she froze for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Yes, Senior."

Seemingly because she was too nervous, her speech became stuttered.

Wang Jianqiang nodded and looked at Mu Lingxi, "Lingxi, go collect the spoils of war."

Mu Lingxi nodded with a smile.

First, she picked up the Space Ring that Yuan Xuanguang had dropped, then she charged directly into the Xuanguang Chamber of Commerce.

Along the way, no one dared to block her.

The crowd retreated one after another.

After Mu Lingxi entered the Xuanguang Chamber of Commerce, Wang Jianqiang looked at the four women: Wang Yuyao, Su Yutong, Liu Qing'er, and Xing Li.

"You all should head to the City Lord's Mansion."

The four of them nodded, took flight, and flew toward the City Lord's Mansion.
