Chapter 487: The Next City Lord, Yin Xuan

Five days later.

Wang Jianqiang and Linglong sat in the main hall.

He thought for a moment.

To be safe, he still told Linglong about his plan to kill Wei Yuan.

Speaking to the end.

He urged Linglong, "During this time, keep an eye on Wei Yuan's movements. After he leaves Wenxian City, remember to watch him; I am afraid there might be a slip-up in the actions of Lu Yuanji and the other three."

"If anyone from Wei Yuan's team returns, find a reason to kill them immediately. You must not let any of them leave the Outer Realm Battlefield."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's instructions, Linglong could not help but rub her brow.

She had been City Lord for over three hundred years.

Always upright and selfless.

Now, on the verge of retirement, she was forced to engage in such acts of aiding a villain.

This should count as failing to maintain one's integrity in old age, right?

She shook her head helplessly.

In the end, she still did not refuse.

With this layer of security from Linglong, Wang Jianqiang was finally completely at ease.

He stopped thinking about the matter of Wei Yuan.

Half a month later.

Wang Jianqiang had just walked out of the inner room when he received the news sent by Linglong.

Wei Yuan and the others, together with four Seventh-tier Will Cultivators, had left Wenxian City in company.

"Is the operation starting?"

Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred.

Days passed one by one.

What made Wang Jianqiang somewhat surprised was that no results had been sent back regarding Lu Yuanji and the others' ambush on Wei Yuan.

Whether it was the five members of Wei Yuan's team or the four people led by Lu Yuanji, it was as if they had all evaporated from the human world together.

At first, Wang Jianqiang kept paying attention to this matter.

But as time passed, he gradually cast it to the back of his mind.

Anyway, with Linglong backing him up, he was not very worried.

Time drifted by.

In the blink of an eye.

A full eight years had passed since he arrived at this Outer Realm Battlefield.

During this period.

Linglong's foundation was purified to the extreme and underwent a transformation.

She made further progress on top of her existing achievements.

Caidie and Xiao Ke Ke saw their cultivation advance by leaps and bounds because of the resources he provided.

Caidie broke through to the Sixth-tier Will Stage.

Xiao Ke Ke reached the Seventh-tier Will Stage.

The foundation purification progress of both had been mostly completed, and they were not far from a foundation transformation.

Wang Jianqiang's own cultivation had reached the peak of Fourth-tier Will, and he could break through to the Fifth-Order Will Stage at any time.

Besides this.

Through the solidified Attribute Panel.

Wang Jianqiang discovered that Youyou, Yang Wanxin, Yun Xi, and Qiu Shuang had also long reached the Nascent Soul Stage Perfection.

As for Ye Qingxue.

She had also broken through to the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Now.

Among the eleven people who had solidified their Attribute Panels (Wang Yu Yao, Dong Yue, Mu Lingxi, Su Yutong, Youyou, Yang Wanxin, Yun Xin, Liu Qing'er, Xing Li, Qiu Shuang, Ye Qingxue).

Except for Ye Qingxue, the other ten had all reached the Nascent Soul Stage Perfection.

Among them.

Dong Yue's cultivation speed was very fast because she had the Desolate Source Liquid he left behind.

Her cultivation was now the highest among the women, having reached the Second-tier Will Level.

Qiu Shuang broke through later and was only at the First-tier Will Level.

Wang Yu Yao, Mu Lingxi, Su Yutong, Youyou, Yang Wanxin, Yun Xin, Liu Qing'er, and Xing Li, because they did not receive his Desolate Source Liquid support.

Their cultivation speed was not fast, and to this day, they were all only at the First-tier Will Level.

Regarding this, Wang Jianqiang was not anxious.

His gains in this Outer Realm Battlefield were not small.

When he returned.

With his help, the women's cultivation could naturally advance by leaps and bounds.

When time reached the ninth year of Wang Jianqiang entering the Outer Realm Battlefield.

His cultivation successfully broke through to the Fifth-Order Will Stage.

The foundations of Xiao Ke Ke and Caidie were purified to the extreme and underwent a transformation, and their potential was greatly enhanced.

The most intuitive change was this.

Originally, after Caidie and Xiao Ke Ke made their breakthroughs, both felt their own limits.

This meant that the Will Power of the two could no longer surge to a higher realm.

But now.

This sense of limitation had vanished.

The Will Power of the two could continue to surge toward a higher realm!

Very soon.

The ten-year period arrived.

No results had yet been sent back regarding the actions of Lu Yuanji and the others.

Wang Jianqiang thought for a moment and found Linglong.

"Now that the ten-year period has expired, we are about to leave this Outer Realm Battlefield."

"But Wei Yuan's life or death is unknown; to be safe, someone needs to keep watch inside this Wenxian City, and he must absolutely not be allowed to leave the Outer Realm Battlefield."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Linglong nodded.

Instigating others to ambush and kill a Disciple of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace is a grave crime.

Although Wang Jianqiang was already regarded as a peerless talent equal to that Genius Array Master from back then, and was pinned with high hopes by the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

If this matter were to be reported back, perhaps there would be no danger to his life.

But there would still be no avoiding a punishment.

She thought for a moment, took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, and sent a message.

"Who are you sending a message to?" Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

"Yin Xuan," Linglong said.

Upon hearing this name, Wang Jianqiang felt somewhat familiar.

After thinking about it, he immediately reacted, "The Vice City Lord who survived the city defense battle?"

"That's right," Linglong nodded.

"Is this person trustworthy?" Wang Jianqiang said.

Linglong smiled and nodded, "Do you remember after the great city defense battle, I asked you for a Pill once? It was for him to take."

"At that time, his Spiritual Power had burned excessively; although it was lighter than mine before, his foundation still showed signs of collapse. If not for your Pill, he would likely have perished by now."

"So..."

"You can be considered his savior."

Hearing Linglong's words, Wang Jianqiang revealed a look of realization.

Linglong had indeed asked him for a Pill once after the city defense battle ended, and it was a Yellow Jade Origin Pill and a Pulse Restoration Pill.

He hadn't thought much of it before, only assuming Linglong was keeping them for herself.

He hadn't expected they were for this Yin Xuan.

Just as Wang Jianqiang's thoughts flashed, Linglong's voice came again.

"Yin Xuan is a person who values loyalty and righteousness, and after I step down, he is the one who will succeed me as the City Lord of this Wenxian City. If we want to find someone to keep an eye on Wei Yuan, he is the best candidate."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Not long after.

An aura appeared outside the door.

Immediately following.

A series of knocks came from the door.

"He is here."

Linglong smiled and waved her hand.

The door of the Pavilion opened.

A tall, upright figure wearing silver armor walked in.

It was precisely the Vice City Lord of Wenxian City, Yin Xuan.

After Yin Xuan entered the room, his gaze landed on Wang Jianqiang, and his expression shifted, "This is...?"

"He is Master Wang," Linglong smiled.

Hearing Linglong's words, Yin Xuan's expression turned serious, and he solemnly adjusted his attire.

He bowed deeply to Wang Jianqiang, "I have met Master Wang."

"Many thanks to Master Wang for gifting the Pill; otherwise, this Yin would surely have been unable to escape death. This kindness is like a rebirth."

"Great kindness need not be spoken of; if Master Wang has any use for me in the future, I will surely go through fire and water."
