Chapter 369: The Incident at the Hehuan Sect

Seeing the old man appear.

A look of determination flashed across Qiu Shuang's face.

The Spiritual Power within her body surged violently once more.

However, the meridians in her body were too severely damaged to withstand the chaotic power of self-detonation any longer.

Just as the Spiritual Power showed signs of turbulence, it suddenly deflated like a punctured ball and instantly calmed down.

Her complexion turned increasingly pale, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang frowned and tapped his fingers on her body a few times, helping her suppress her injuries.

He took out a Heavenly Heart Resurrection Pill and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Do not circulate your Spiritual Power anymore; heal your injuries first."

"Leave this person to me."

As Wang Jianqiang spoke, his figure flashed, and he stood in front of Qiu Shuang.

"Wang Jianqiang, she is not someone you can deal with!!"

Qiu Shuang gripped Wang Jianqiang's wrist tightly, her expression urgent.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "A mere Nascent Soul Stage Initial, no need to worry."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's calm tone.

Qiu Shuang was stunned.

She suddenly recalled the scene where Wang Jianqiang had just suppressed her chaotic Spiritual Power, and her heart stirred.

Previously, she had been too nervous facing a Nascent Soul Stage enemy to think it through.

Thinking about it now, Wang Jianqiang's strength seemed to be far beyond what it used to be.

Forcibly suppressing the self-detonation of a Golden Core Stage Perfection cultivator.

Even a Nascent Soul Stage Initial cultivator would likely be unable to do so as calmly as he did.

Thinking of this.

Her eyes suddenly lit up.

She no longer blocked Wang Jianqiang.

"A mere Nascent Soul Initial?"

"Kid, you really don't know what death is."

After hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the Nascent Soul Stage old man sneered.

Although he could not see through Wang Jianqiang's cultivation, he felt no worry in his heart.

He had heard every word of the conversation between Qiu Shuang and Wang Jianqiang.

This kid was also a member of the Hehuan Sect.

He knew all the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses of the Hehuan Sect, and this person was not among them.

Therefore, he was definitely not a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

He must be carrying some kind of Magic Treasure for Concealment Technique.

Hearing the old man's mocking tone.

Wang Jianqiang glanced at him indifferently, shook his head, and had no intention of responding.

He pointed his finger forward.

A streak of Five-Colored Spiritual Power broke through the air.

Puchi~

The finger force appeared before the old man at a terrifying speed and, in his terrified gaze, pierced through his glabella.

"How is this possible!"

"Who exactly are you?"

Amidst a shrill and panicked cry, the old man's Nascent Soul flew out from his body.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang, his face filled with disbelief.

The moment Wang Jianqiang made his move, he had already sensed the intensity of Wang Jianqiang's aura.

Nascent Soul Initial.

Equivalent to his own cultivation.

Yet the strength was so great it terrified him.

With equal cultivation, he actually had no power to resist when facing him.

Could such a level of Monster really be cultivated by the Hehuan Sect?

Wang Jianqiang's expression was calm.

The moment the old man's Nascent Soul flew out of his body.

He tapped his finger.

A Restriction instantly enveloped the old man's Nascent Soul, sealing it up.

He beckoned with his palm.

The sealed, dormant Nascent Soul of the old man flew over.

He put it away.

Afterward, he turned to look at Qiu Shuang.

Seeing her red lips slightly parted and her eyes wide open, he smiled and said, "How are your injuries?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's inquiry, Qiu Shuang immediately came back to her senses, "The Pill you gave me is very potent; I am much better now."

As she spoke.

Her eyes were filled with shock.

After perceiving Wang Jianqiang's confidence.

She had thought Wang Jianqiang might be very strong, perhaps even capable of defeating the enemy.

But she had not expected the process to be so brief and simple.

That was a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Looking across the entire Northern Territory, they could be considered a first-rate powerhouse.

To think they were killed in seconds in such an understated manner.

How much time had even passed?

Wang Jianqiang's strength had actually reached such a level!

Whoosh~

Just at this moment, a streak of light arrived in an instant.

Qiu Shuang's expression was startled.

"Don't be nervous, they're our own people." Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Our own people?

Qiu Shuang could not help but look at the Xuanguang Treasure Hall suspended in the air.

She could feel the powerful pressure radiating from this Magic Treasure.

This treasure was not simple at all.

It was very likely a Mysterious Grade Dharma Treasure!

A Mysterious Grade Dharma Treasure!

Even the Hehuan Sect did not possess a treasure of this grade!

Thirty years without seeing him.

Wang Jianqiang's changes were truly too great.

Not only had his strength become unfathomable, but he even possessed such a powerful Magic Treasure!

Hum~

As Qiu Shuang looked at the treasure hall.

Above the treasure hall, a Spirit Light flashed.

Five figures appeared.

They were none other than Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Liu Qing'er, and Xing Li.

"Qiu Shuang?"

Upon seeing Qiu Shuang, Mu Lingxi revealed a look of surprise.

After the Hehuan Ancestor died in battle, she had met Qiu Shuang several times.

No wonder Senior Brother said he felt a familiar aura and rushed over ahead of time.

So the person fighting was actually her.

At the same time.

Qiu Shuang also recognized Mu Lingxi.

Mu Lingxi was the granddaughter of Lin Xueran and the niece of Mu Yutong; she held a lofty status within the Hehuan Sect, and it would be no exaggeration to call her the little Princess of the Hehuan Sect.

She naturally recognized her.

After hearing Mu Lingxi's words, she nodded at Mu Lingxi.

"What did you mean just now when you said not to let me return to the Hehuan Sect?"

Just at this moment, Wang Jianqiang suddenly thought of Qiu Shuang's words from earlier, and his expression became serious, "Has something happened to the Hehuan Sect?"

Upon hearing the three words "Hehuan Sect," Xing Li's expression stirred.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang, Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, and Su Yutong.

A look of sudden realization appeared on her face.

Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, and Su Yutong, the three women, had their expressions tighten simultaneously as they looked toward Qiu Shuang.

After a moment of silence, a look of sorrow appeared on Qiu Shuang's face.

She nodded.

She slowly began to tell everyone the story.

A moment later.

Wang Jianqiang and the others learned from her about the turn of events that had occurred at the Hehuan Sect.

One year ago.

The Hehuan Sect was suddenly attacked by mysterious powerhouses.

These people were incomparably strong.

The two Supreme Elders of the Hehuan Sect, Shangguan Yurou and Lin Xueran, had no power to resist these people; they were heavily wounded in just a single encounter.

Even the Hehuan Sect's Protective Sect Array could hardly resist them.

Seeing that the Protective Sect Array was in imminent danger.

The two sacrificed their lives to the Formation, forcibly increasing the power of the Protective Sect Array, which was the only reason they barely managed to preserve the sect.

But those mysterious people did not leave after that; instead, they stood guard outside the Hehuan Sect, completely severing the Hehuan Sect's connection with the outside world.

Like a trapped beast, they could only wait for destruction.

Sect Master Dong Yue, Dark Pavilion Master Mu Yutong, and Great Hall Master of the Punishment Hall Yan Qingxuan knew that the power gained from the two Supreme Elders sacrificing their lives could not last.

Half a year after the Hehuan Sect was besieged.

The three of them resolutely decided to seek help from the outside.

Qiu Shuang, Zhang Hubiao, Li Ya, Yang Wei, and Jia Zhengjing, these five people, were entrusted with an important task.

In order to allow the five of them to leave without anyone noticing.

Dong Yue, Yan Qingxuan, and Yutong risked their lives to charge head-on into the enemy's ranks, creating the illusion of a breakout.

The five of them, meanwhile, escaped secretly in another direction.

In the end, they successfully escaped.

Before fleeing the Hehuan Sect.

She only saw that Dong Yue, Yan Qingxuan, and Yutong had suffered heavy injuries.

To this day, she does not know whether the three of them successfully retreated back into the Protective Sect Array.
