Chapter 430: Breakthrough of Will

Late at night.

Wang Jianqiang left his residence, transformed into the appearance of Kunshan, and arrived outside the Pavilion where Caidie lived.

He gently knocked on Caidie's door.

Caidie, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened her eyes.

Sensing the aura of the person outside the door, her expression turned joyful.

Her figure flashed, and she appeared at the doorway.

Immediately after.

She seemed to think of something, and the smile on her face faded.

She let out a cold snort.

"Senior Brother, aren't you supposed to strictly follow Master's instructions? Coming to see me so late seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it?"

Hearing the voice from inside the room.

Wang Jianqiang chuckled inwardly and, imitating Kunshan's voice, said, "Junior Sister, that was on the main street earlier; Senior Brother was afraid that outsiders might hear our conversation and it would affect your reputation, so I said that on purpose."

Creak~

After Wang Jianqiang finished speaking, the door opened.

Caidie glared at "Kunshan," "Afraid of affecting my reputation? I'm not even afraid myself, what are you afraid of?"

"That's different."

"Kunshan" shook his head, "You may not care, but I, your Senior Brother, cannot be indifferent to my dear Junior Sister's reputation."

Caidie felt a warmth in her heart, and the dissatisfaction in her heart immediately dissipated by more than half.

She stepped aside, "Come in."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled to himself and stepped into the room.

……

The next day.

News spread from the City Lord's Mansion.

Dozens of figures flew toward the City Lord's Mansion, and Kunshan was among them.

That evening.

Kunshan arrived outside the Pavilion where Caidie lived.

The City Lord had issued an order.

He needed to go out to carry out a mission, and he had come this time to bid farewell to Caidie.

However.

When he arrived outside Caidie's Pavilion, her door was tightly shut.

The Array outside the Pavilion had already been activated.

It seemed she had already rested.

Seeing this, he was silent for a moment.

He shook his head.

Since she had already rested, then so be it.

Furthermore.

It was already so late.

It would be somewhat inappropriate for him to rashly enter Caidie's residence.

Thinking of this.

He turned and left.

Another nine days passed.

Long after Kunshan had left Wenxian City.

At Caidie's residence.

The door that had been tightly shut for ten days finally opened again.

Wang Jianqiang walked out, filled with the satisfaction of having his great vengeance avenged, and walked toward his own residence.

Just as he returned to his residence, before he could even enter the door.

A voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Daoist Friend Wang, I haven't seen you for such a long time, I thought you had met with an accident."

Wang Jianqiang turned to look, and a familiar figure came into view.

He smiled, "Many thanks for your concern, Daoist Friend Wu, Wang is fine."

Wu Tan nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, said, "Daoist Friend Wang, last time I saw you suddenly disappear for ten days, I didn't feel comfortable asking."

"But since we know each other, it is fate; I truly cannot bear to see you being targeted."

"Did that Caidie deliberately find an excuse to imprison you?"

"I know you have your own pride."

"But sometimes, when one is under another's roof, bowing one's head is not shameful."

"For us, cultivation is the first priority."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, without explaining.

Seeing that Wang Jianqiang still didn't seem to have taken it to heart.

Wu Tan sighed and did not try to persuade him further.

After returning to his residence, Wang Jianqiang began his cultivation once again.

Over the next few days.

Aside from occasionally sweeping the streets, he spent all his time on cultivation.

During this period, he also encountered Caidie a few times.

But each time, he was met with cold glares and subjected to all sorts of difficulties.

Regarding this.

Wang Jianqiang simply kept it in his heart.

With a breakthrough now imminent, he had no time to teach her a lesson.

After the breakthrough.

Definitely!

……

Another three days passed.

After Wang Jianqiang refined a drop of Desolate Source Liquid, the Will Power radiating from his body suddenly surged.

He slowly opened his eyes.

A smile appeared on his face.

"The Will Power has finally broken through to the Second-tier."

……

Just as Wang Jianqiang broke through to the Second-tier Will Power.

Kunshan, who had left Wenxian City for over half a month, finally returned to Wenxian City.

This time.

He did not return alone.

Instead, he returned together with two subordinates.

It was just that.

His personal condition was far more wretched than when he had returned last time.

His heavy armor was covered in cracks, stained with spots of blood.

Through the cracks, blood was faintly seeping out.

His complexion was pale, and his aura was weak.

He was already unable to fly on his own.

Relying on the support of his subordinates, he had barely managed to return to the city.

After returning to the city.

Supported by his two subordinates, he flew straight toward the City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

The architecture was luxurious and exquisite.

Supported by his two subordinates, Kunshan quickly arrived outside a great hall deep within the City Lord's Mansion.

"Greetings, City Lord."

Kunshan cupped his fists toward the tightly shut doors and spoke, "Following the City Lord's order, I have finished scouting that region."

"Just as the City Lord expected, the number of demonic beasts has increased once again."

After Kunshan's voice fell, the great hall was silent for a moment.

A pleasant female voice drifted out.

"You have worked hard, Commander Kunshan, I understand."

"You have been severely injured on this trip, go back and recuperate."

Upon hearing this, Kunshan nodded.

Supported by his two subordinates, he flew out toward the City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the great hall.

Four men and one woman sat around a long table, five figures in total.

The woman's face was veiled with light silk.

A pair of jade-like beautiful eyes swept over the four people in front of her, a hint of gravity flashing through her gaze.

"Before Kunshan, the other commanders had already returned."

"According to various signs."

"A great war is imminent..."

Hearing the woman's words, the four people's expressions all became grave.

"The Outer Realm Cultivators are already extremely troublesome; if they can truly borrow the power of demonic beasts."

"This battle will likely be extremely difficult."

Among the four Vice City Lords, a middle-aged man in black armor spoke up.

Beside the middle-aged man in black armor, a scholarly middle-aged man sighed, "Perhaps we should seek reinforcements from the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace."

"It's useless." After the two finished speaking, a youth wearing silver armor shook his head, "The only ones who can give the people of the Outer Realm the confidence to resist the City Lord are the Ninth-rank Will Cultivators."

"The Outer Realm Battlefield cannot withstand Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators or those above the Spirit Transformation Stage, so cultivators at the Ninth-Order Will Stage are the strongest combat power."

"But for a cultivator of this level, let alone within the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, in the entire world, for the past three hundred years, only the City Lord has reached it."
