Chapter 446: Don't Misunderstand, I Just Don't Want to Help

"It is too inconceivable; could he really be a Sixth-tier Array Master?"

"How old is he? Could his talent already be enough to rival that Array Path prodigy from a thousand years ago?"

After coming to their senses.

Feng Wanli and the many Array Department Cultivators exchanged glances, all exclaiming in astonishment.

"Shut up!"

Just at this moment, Wang Jianqiang's movements suddenly paused, and he looked coldly toward them, "You have disturbed me. Get out."

If this were before, facing Wang Jianqiang's rebuke, Feng Wanli and the others would certainly not have yielded.

But at this moment, the situation was completely different!

"Daoist Friend, it is we who lacked decorum."

"Daoist Friend, rest assured, we will not affect you again."

Feng Wanli and the others looked at Wang Jianqiang, their voices tinged with a hint of pleading.

As fellow Array Masters.

If they could witness the entire process of Wang Jianqiang repairing the City Protection Array, they would certainly gain immense benefits.

How could they be willing to easily give up this opportunity?

"Get out."

Wang Jianqiang sneered inwardly.

The attitude these people had toward him earlier was still fresh in his mind.

And now they were actually thinking of gaining benefits from him?

Repay injury with kindness?

He would never do such a foolish thing.

What he has always believed in is to repay kindness with kindness, and to repay injury with justice.

Sensing the coldness on Wang Jianqiang, the expressions of Feng Wanli and the others faltered.

"Since the young friend does not want you to stay here, then you should all go out."

To the side.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's firm expression, Mu Lao sighed.

Hearing Mu Lao speak.

Feng Wanli and the others had no choice but to withdraw from the great hall.

As they were leaving.

Everyone's face was filled with regret.

Who could have thought that this kid was actually a Sixth-tier Array Master!

That was a Sixth-tier Array Master!

An Array Path master whose casual pointers could allow them to reap great rewards.

And not only did they fail to seize this opportunity to build a connection, but they had instead completely offended the other party!

After everyone had retreated, Wang Jianqiang looked at Mu Lao.

Actually, in his heart, he also wanted to tell this old fellow to get out.

But after thinking about it.

He decided to let it go.

This old fellow had an extraordinary status.

He still had to stay in this Wenxian City for a few years, so there was no need to offend him to the point of no return.

Afterward, his attention returned to the Array Core.

Controlling the Spirit Flame, he melted materials while repairing the Small Array Diagram.

One day later.

When the incomplete Small Array Diagram was repaired by more than seventy percent.

Even the layman Linglong noticed the changes in the Array Core.

That irregular ball of light had actually turned into a somewhat incomplete circle.

It could be foreseen.

Once it completely turned into a circle, that would be the moment the City Protection Array was fully repaired.

Outside the city.

The great battle had already lasted for nearly two days.

The Beast Tide remained endless, surging forward like a black tide.

Before Wenxian City.

Among the thousands of Cultivators resisting the Beast Tide, over a hundred had already died in battle.

Among the remaining Cultivators, many also had injuries of varying severity.

There were even some who, due to their injuries being too severe, had to retreat into the City Protection Array to heal.

The strength of the defensive line had clearly decreased.

While resisting the impact of the Beast Tide, their fatigue became increasingly apparent.

On the other side.

In the battlefield resisting the Cultivators from Outside the Realm, the situation was similarly grim.

Even with the strength amplification from the City Protection Array, the overall strength of the Wenxian City side remained at a disadvantage.

Under the attrition of prolonged combat, casualties were already heavy.

The defensive line was in dire peril.

On the third battlefield.

Boom!

A burst of icy cold energy suddenly exploded outward.

As the freezing white mist scattered, four figures retreated simultaneously.

"The situation is not good."

A silver-armored youth holding a long spear looked toward the other two battlefields, his brows tightly furrowed, "If this continues, we won't even be able to hold out for five days."

"Regardless of the outcome, we need only give it our all," a refined middle-aged man said with a firm expression.

"Fight them to the death; even if we cannot stop them from breaching the city, we must make them pay a heavy price." As the refined middle-aged man finished speaking, a flash of resolve crossed the face of the black-armored middle-aged man beside him.

"Fight to the death."

The fourth Vice City Lord, who had remained silent until now, also revealed a look of determination.

The power within the four of them gradually became violent.

This was the manifestation of burning Spiritual Power.

Just as the four were preparing to burn their Spiritual Power and fight to the death.

The light curtain outside Wenxian City suddenly trembled.

Then, it erupted with a dazzling radiance.

The Spirit Light that had diffused out to shroud the battlefield outside the city became incomparably bright in an instant.

The four, who were just about to charge forward, paused in their movements and simultaneously stopped burning their Spiritual Power.

They could feel it clearly.

The power being transmitted from the Protective Sect Array had suddenly increased significantly.

Subconsciously, they looked toward the other two battlefields.

They saw.

The aura of every city-defending Cultivator had suddenly become much stronger.

The precarious situation was instantly checked.

At this moment.

Expressions of surprise and joy welled up on everyone's faces.

The City Protection Array...

It seemed to have been completely repaired!

Who was it?

To possess such attainments in the Array Path?

A strong sense of curiosity surged in everyone's hearts simultaneously.

But the environment they were currently in clearly did not allow them to dwell on it.

Everyone hurriedly collected their thoughts and focused on resisting the enemy.

At the same time.

The battle between the four Vice City Lords and the dragon beast erupted once more.

Following the repair of the City Protection Array.

Their strength, under the amplification of the City Protection Array, increased again.

With the four of them joining forces, they were no longer suppressed by the dragon beast.

Instead, it became an evenly matched fight.

They even gained a slight upper hand.

It was just that the dragon beast's scale armor defense was incomparably astonishing.

Although their attacks landed on the dragon beast repeatedly, they could only barely break through its defense.

The damage caused was negligible.

Often, just as they wounded it, it would recover in an instant under its astonishing restorative power.

Inside Wenxian City.

In a great hall within the Array Department.

Linglong looked at the ball of light, which had become perfectly round without a single flaw and was suspended in the center of the hall like a small sun, her expression excited.

Because she was too exhilarated, her pretty face turned completely red, "The City Protection Array has been completely repaired!"

At the same time.

Mu Lao, standing to the side, also looked at the sun-like ball of light with a pleasant surprise, "It really has been completely repaired!"

He shifted his gaze to the figure beside the ball of light and bowed with cupped hands, "Little friend, Mu was offensive earlier; I hope you will not take offense."

Wang Jianqiang smiled upon hearing this, "Mu Lao is joking. Protecting the City Protection Array is Mu Lao's duty; being cautious is correct. How could I take offense?"

Mu Lao felt a surge of joy upon hearing this, "Then... in the future, if Mu encounters difficulties in the Array Path, may I ask for Clarification from you, Daoist Friend?"

"No."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

"Then many thanks... eh?"

Mu Lao's expression froze.

Wang Jianqiang had refused too bluntly; he hadn't even reacted in time, still thinking the other party had agreed.

His expression couldn't help but turn awkward, "Little friend, didn't you say..."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, his tone gentle as he said, "Mu Lao, please don't misunderstand. Wang truly understands you and does not blame you."

"The reason Wang refused..."

"Is simply that I do not wish to help you."
