Chapter 447: Linglong's Request

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words.

Mu Lao's expression stiffened.

A smile was forced onto his face, "Daoist Friend is joking, aren't you still holding a grudge about what happened before?"

"Mu has already apologized to you, why must you be so petty?"

Wang Jianqiang raised his eyebrows.

The smile on his face became a bit warmer, "Mu Lao is also joking, Wang has already said he is not angry, why must you wrongly accuse Wang."

"Wang truly just does not want to help you."

After speaking, he smiled and cupped his hands toward Mu Lao, "Excuse me, Mu Lao, Wang still has matters to attend to, I will take my leave first."

After speaking, he turned and left the great hall.

Mu Lao watched Wang Jianqiang's departing back, his complexion turning a mix of green and white.

Outside the great hall.

Feng Wanli and the others were waiting outside.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang walk out, the expressions of the crowd shifted one after another.

Feng Wanli squeezed a smile onto his face.

He was just preparing to step forward and say a few words to ease the atmosphere.

But Wang Jianqiang did not even glance at him, flying away directly.

His smile instantly froze on his face.

With a somewhat awkward expression, he looked at the crowd behind him, "Let us go in and see."

After speaking, he entered the great hall first.

After walking into the great hall.

The first thing they saw was the light orb in the center of the hall, which had already become flawless.

"The Array has been completely repaired!"

Although they had been mentally prepared, after truly seeing this scene, they still could not help but feel somewhat shocked.

Following that.

Their gazes shifted to look at Mu Lao.

They immediately discovered that Mu Lao's expression was somewhat off.

He seemed very unhappy?

The City Protection Array was repaired.

Although it was not the work of the Array Department, which was somewhat embarrassing.

But being repaired in such a time of crisis could still be considered a matter worth rejoicing over.

No matter what, it shouldn't be like this, right?

What is wrong with Mu Lao?

The crowd was all somewhat puzzled.

But hindered by Mu Lao's status, no one dared to ask.

Just as thoughts were flashing through the minds of the crowd.

Linglong looked at Mu Lao and shook her head with a bitter smile, "Mu Lao, although Daoist Friend Wang is a bit vengeful, every genius has some pride; this is nothing, I hope you can understand."

"Moreover, whether or not he is willing to help you is his own freedom; you actually have no need to be angry, and even less need to hold a grudge."

If Linglong's previous sentence was still somewhat tactful, then the latter sentence was quite blunt.

Mu Lao even heard a hint of a threat in it.

Although Linglong was the noble City Lord, she had always been very respectful toward him.

Such a tone was the first time in history.

After he was silent for a moment, he sighed, "City Lord, rest assured, I am not yet that unreasonable."

Although he appeared calm on the surface.

In reality, his guts were almost turning green with regret.

That Wang Jianqiang was a Monster existence capable of rivaling that legendary genius of the Array Path.

Such a person must have an extraordinary understanding of the Array Path.

If he could ask him for guidance, he would surely have a huge harvest.

Perhaps it could help him break through the Six-Tier Barrier.

It is just a pity.

Because of his prejudice and shortsightedness, he missed this opportunity.

He had been obsessed with the Array Path his whole life, yet he missed such a great opportunity.

At this moment, he even had the urge to die.

Seeing Mu Lao's regretful expression, Linglong shook her head.

"Mu Lao, I still have many things to handle, I will leave first."

After speaking, she looked at Feng Wanli and the others.

She nodded at the crowd and walked out of the great hall.

……

After Linglong walked out of the Array Department, she saw Wang Jianqiang waiting outside the gate of the Array Department.

She came to Wang Jianqiang's side and pondered for a moment, "Daoist Friend Wang, those people in the Array Department did not intentionally offend you; they were just loyal to their duties and valued the City Protection Array."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "City Lord, I understand; I have already said that I do not blame them."

A flash of confusion crossed Linglong's face, "Then why did you..."

"Refuse to help them?" Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Linglong nodded.

"Because I wasn't in the mood."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Although I understand their actions, it does not mean I am not angry."

"You... aren't you being a bit too petty?" Linglong was speechless.

Wang Jianqiang looked at her, and after a moment of silence, slapped her firm, shapely buttocks.

"What are you doing?"

Linglong was startled, instinctively took a few steps back, and looked at Wang Jianqiang with anger.

Wang Jianqiang did not change his expression and said calmly, "I stabilized the City Lord's injuries and repaired the City Protection Array; with such great merit, it was just a casual pat, why must the City Lord be so calculating?"

"You... aren't you being a bit too petty?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang return her own words exactly, Linglong's expression stalled.

She shook her head with a bitter smile, "Daoist Friend Wang, I spoke out of turn just now."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "City Lord, there is no need to blame yourself. Often, those not involved speak grand principles that ring to the heavens, but once their own interests are touched, there is no reason to be found at all; the world has always been this way."

"Of course, there are very few exceptions."

"However, I am a vulgar person and am not among that number."

Upon hearing this, Linglong looked deeply at Wang Jianqiang and cupped her hands toward him, "Linglong has been taught."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

"City Lord, now is not the time to talk about these things."

"Although the City Protection Array has been repaired, it seems to have been repaired a bit too late; while it has changed the battle situation somewhat, it is only temporary."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Linglong was stunned, "You can see outside the Formation?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and offered no explanation.

Immediately after, Linglong suddenly realized.

Wang Jianqiang is a Sixth-tier Array Master who just finished repairing the City Protection Array.

His understanding of the City Protection Array can be called the greatest in Wenxian City today.

It is normal to be able to see through the City Protection Array.

Thinking this way.

She flipped her hand and took out a Jade Pendant.

A beam of Spirit Light shot out from the Jade Pendant and merged into her eyes.

The next moment.

The battlefield outside the city appeared in her field of vision.

With the complete repair of the City Protection Array.

The City Protection Array's boost to the strength of the defending Cultivators became even more powerful.

If the City Protection Array had displayed this kind of power from the beginning, it would certainly have been able to resist the Beast Tide and the Cultivators from Outside the Realm.

But at this moment, the defending Cultivators had already suffered heavy casualties.

The repair of the City Protection Array only pulled the battle, which was on the verge of collapse, back to a balance point.

But the Cultivators on the side of Wenxian City were, after all, at a disadvantage in numbers.

Under long-term consumption, they would eventually fall into a disadvantage bit by bit.

What's more.

The three Ninth-rank Will Cultivators from Outside the Realm who retreated would certainly return.

The battle situation in Wenxian City remained critical.

Thinking of this.

Linglong's gaze swept over those Cultivators who were severely wounded and forced to retreat into the Formation to heal.

Her expression stirred.

These injured Cultivators take ordinary Healing Pills, and the recovery cycle is too long.

If they were changed to Perfect Pills, they would certainly be able to recover faster and return to the battlefield to fight as soon as possible.

At that time.

Would the battle situation become a little better?
