Chapter 431: Nonsensical Ramblings?

"Over these years, among the Dahuang Immortal Palace Students, a few Eighth-Order Will Stage cultivators have appeared, but apart from me, the others have all reached the Spirit Transformation Stage."

"As for those with Seventh-Rank Will cultivation, there are quite a few, but even with the help of the City Protection Array, it is difficult for a Seventh-Rank Will Stage cultivator to reach the combat power of an Eighth-Order Will Stage; to contend against a Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivator, at least several dozen people must join together to execute a Combined Attack Array to barely manage it."

"Added to the high-end combat power among the demonic beasts, for the sake of safety, we must supplement at least fifty more Seventh-Rank Will Stage cultivators to be able to resist the opponent."

"But for our world, Seventh-Rank Will Stage cultivators are already considered high-end combat power; it is very difficult to gather so many of them!"

Hearing this person's words, the great hall fell into silence.

A moment later.

The fourth Vice City Lord, who had not spoken until now, looked at the woman in the main seat, "City Lord, your injuries..."

Upon hearing this, the woman shook her head, "With the Pill sent by the Dahuang Immortal Palace, I am much better, but my foundation was damaged, so the recovery speed is very slow."

"Even now, I have only recovered seventy percent."

Hearing this, a flash of worry crossed the face of the person who had asked, "During that battle, although the injuries of the two Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators from Outside the Realm, Xiaoyue Daoren and Yaoguang Xianzi, were both heavier than yours, City Lord, the Jie Wai Xiu Xian Jie is more powerful, so I imagine the two of them must have already fully recovered."

"With the opponent returning now, we are already at a disadvantage."

"Plus the powerful demonic beasts, and the very likely appearance of a third Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivator, then..."

The other three, upon hearing this, were also filled with worry.

The woman sighed, "It is a pity that the City Protection Array has not been fully repaired for so many years; otherwise, even if the Outside the Realm had one more Ninth-Order Will cultivator, we might not have been unable to resist."

"Those fellows in the Array Department are too incompetent." The black-armored man clenched his fist.

"We cannot blame them." The silver-armored youth shook his head, "The one who laid down the Wenxian City Protective Array was a Genius Array Master of unprecedented talent."

"To repair this Array, one's attainments in Arrays must not only reach the level of that Genius Array Master, but at least rival seventy percent of their attainments."

"Below the Spirit Transformation Stage, it is a once-in-a-millennium occurrence to find someone who can reach such attainments."

"Otherwise, this City Protection Array has been damaged for three hundred years; how could it have remained unrepaired?"

Hearing the words of the silver-armored youth.

The woman nodded.

"Indeed, we cannot blame the Array Department."

"However, although this City Protection Array's power is not at its peak, it is still of great use to us."

"As for whether the Outside the Realm side truly has Ninth-Order Will cultivator support, we are merely guessing."

"Thinking more is useless."

"What we must do now is simply do our best to defend this Wenxian City!"

"Of course."

"The changes within the Outer Realm Battlefield must still be reported to the Dahuang Immortal Palace."

"In a moment, I will explain the situation to the Dahuang Immortal Palace."

While the City Lord was conversing with the four Vice City Lords.

Kunshan had already left the City Lord's Mansion.

He looked toward the direction where Caidie lived, then shook his head.

He was so heavily injured.

Caidie would surely be very sad if she saw him.

Rather than that, it would be better not to tell her.

To save her from worrying.

Anyway, she did not know about his mission this time.

Just pretend it never happened.

As for why he had not gone to see her for such a long time?

He could only blame it on being in secluded cultivation.

At most, he would just endure a few complaints.

Thinking of this, he smiled.

Led by his subordinates, he flew toward his residence.

He was too heavily injured and needed to be treated as soon as possible.

Wang Jianqiang had just broken through and came to sweep the streets in high spirits.

He did not expect that as soon as he arrived on the street, he would see a scene that made him happy.

He looked up at the person in the center of the three figures in the sky.

The corners of his mouth could not help but turn upward.

Kunshan?

So heavily injured?

This is truly a double blessing~

With such heavy injuries, it will probably take quite a long time to recover, right?

Not contacting Caidie for such a long time, wouldn't that make Caidie very unhappy?

Thinking of this.

He shook his head.

That is not right at all.

He had always been happy to help others.

This matter, I am afraid, will still have to be helped by him.

Perfect.

He had just broken through to Second-tier Will, so he had plenty of time.

Thinking of this, he looked at Kunshan's back, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Daoist Friend Kunshan, rest assured..."

"I will take care of Caidie for you."

"I guarantee she won't have a single complaint against you."

That night.

Wang Jianqiang took on the form of Kunshan and knocked on Caidie's door.

Half a month later.

Kunshan's injuries were fully healed.

Counting the time spent on the mission.

He and Caidie had not seen each other for a month.

He had disappeared quietly for a month, yet Caidie had not sent a voice transmission to ask about him as she usually did.

She must be angry.

Therefore.

After coming out of seclusion, he went to Caidie's residence at the fastest speed possible, the very first thing he did.

Not long after he knocked on Caidie's door, Caidie opened it.

Upon seeing Kunshan, Caidie blushed and said somewhat shyly, "Senior Brother, you're here."

Kunshan was stunned.

What is going on?

Junior Sister's attitude is not right!

It was one thing that she didn't blame him, but her tone was actually so much more docile than usual!!

"Why are you standing at the door?"

"Hurry and come in."

Just as Kunshan stood there in a daze, Caidie's sweet, delicate voice came again.

As she spoke, she actually leaned in toward him.

Kunshan's expression was one of shock; he hurriedly took two steps back to avoid her.

He shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Junior Sister, you know how much charm you possess."

"Don't harm your Senior Brother."

"I cannot go against Master's instructions; everything must wait until we become Dao Companions."

"Alright?"

Hearing Kunshan's words, Caidie pursed her lips and muttered, "Prude. Anyone who didn't know you would think you were so upright, but in reality, you have more tricks than anyone else."

Thinking of the days prior, her pretty face couldn't help but blush again.

Kunshan was stunned.

What is Junior Sister babbling about?
