Chapter 493: A Chance Encounter with Aotian

"Huh, Junior Brother Wang?"

Just as Feng Yichen was staring at Wang Jianqiang, wanting to say something.

A surprised voice suddenly came from afar.

Feng Yichen's words were interrupted once again.

His expression sank.

As a proud talent of the Earth Ranking of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, being led around by a woman all day today had already made him very furious.

At this moment, his words were interrupted.

This anger suddenly flared up.

He looked toward the direction the voice came from, preparing to see which blind thing it was.

But the next moment.

The anger in his heart suddenly stalled.

His brows furrowed tightly.

At the same time.

A figure flashed and appeared before Wang Jianqiang, looking at Wang Jianqiang with a face full of smiles, "Junior Brother, when did you return?"

"So it is Senior Brother Aotian." Seeing the person who arrived, a smile appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face, "I just returned. No wonder I didn't see you later, Senior Brother; it turns out you had already returned to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace."

Aotian nodded, "I had some urgent matters to return for and didn't bid you farewell, Junior Brother; I hope you won't take offense."

"Senior Brother, you are too polite." Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head.

Aotian smiled, glanced at Feng Yichen, and said to Wang Jianqiang, "Junior Brother, what is this about?"

"A small conflict occurred." Wang Jianqiang shrugged.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Aotian couldn't help but glance at Mu Lingxi.

A look of astonishment flashed through his eyes.

Seeming to understand something, he turned to look at Feng Yichen and frowned, "Feng Yichen, when did you become so spineless? You've actually started the business of bullying a New Student!"

"Aotian, my affairs are not for you to manage." Feng Yichen snorted coldly.

Although his words were very impolite, the look of arrogance on his face faded somewhat.

Although this Aotian had entered the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace a hundred years later than him.

His natural talent was extremely extraordinary.

He quickly reached the Fifth-Order Will Stage, and after this experience in the Outer Realm Battlefield, his cultivation had broken through again, already reaching the Sixth-Order Will Stage.

His strength was no longer weaker than his own.

Although he did not fear Aotian, when facing Aotian, he could no longer maintain his arrogant posture.

"Heh, I, Aotian, have never liked to meddle in other people's business, but since this matter involves Junior Brother Wang, I am determined to manage it."

Aotian looked at Feng Yichen, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You had best not harbor designs on Junior Brother Wang, otherwise, you will regret it."

Feng Yichen's expression sank, "Aotian, you are not yet qualified to threaten me!"

Aotian shook his head, "You can take my words as a threat, or you can take them as a piece of advice."

"Junior Brother Wang is not someone you can afford to provoke."

"Heh, Aotian, do you think I, Feng Yichen, was scared into growing up?"

Feng Yichen sneered, looked at Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi, "You two dogs, just you wait; today's matter is absolutely not over."

After speaking, he looked at Aotian again, turned, and left.

After Feng Yichen left.

Aotian looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Junior Brother, I know your capabilities, but as the saying goes, it is hard to guard against a villain."

"Private fighting is indeed forbidden in the inner area of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, but there are no restrictions within the Secret Realm."

"This Feng Yichen is narrow-minded and very vengeful; you must be careful in the future when you leave the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace or head to the various Secret Realms."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Many thanks for the reminder, Senior Brother Aotian."

Aotian shook his head, "Junior Brother, you must not say the word 'thanks' to me; when we were in Wenxian City, you helped me quite a bit, and I haven't had the chance to thank you yet."

"If you have any needs in the future, you must call out to your Senior Brother."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded.

Because he had sensed Mu Lingxi's aura earlier, he had come here halfway.

He had not yet gone to the Punishment Court to report.

He did not chat much more with Aotian.

After bidding farewell to Aotian, he went to the Punishment Court together with Mu Lingxi.

In a great hall.

A man was staring at a Jade Slip in his hand, his Spirit Sense surging as he recorded something.

A voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Greetings, Instructor; I have completed my mission and need to report it."

The man frowned upon hearing this and did not even lift his head, "Go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to report mission completion; why come to the Punishment Court?"

"What I need to report is a punishment mission."

The voice came again.

The man's movements paused, and he looked up.

Two figures, one male and one female, appeared in his field of vision.

Seeing the woman among the two, the man's expression went blank, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Spirited and stunning, with an extraordinary temperament.

What a woman, blessed with the very essence of heaven and earth!

Seeing that the man was just staring at her and ignoring Senior Brother, Mu Lingxi couldn't help but snort, "How can you be such an impolite Instructor?"

"Never seen a beauty before?"

*Cough, cough, cough~~*

The man choked, coughing incessantly, and it took him a good while to recover.

His expression turned strange.

This girl looks ethereal enough, so why is her speech so abrasive?

Fearing that this girl might say something else shocking, he didn't dare look at her again.

He looked toward Wang Jianqiang.

His expression shifted.

"It's you?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile, "Instructor still remembers me?"

"Of course I remember."

The Punishment Court Instructor smiled, "You are the gutsiest man I've encountered since joining the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, so of course I remember you."

"You actually came back alive from the Outer Realm Battlefield?"

"You didn't just cower in Wenxian City the whole time, did you? With your cultivation, you wouldn't be able to land any good position in that Wenxian City."

"Without a good position, you can't get resources; in other words, you've wasted ten years for nothing."

"Tsk tsk, at your age, it's the time to be forging ahead with courage; the cost of these ten years is not insignificant..."

"Eh, wait? Your cultivation..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly sensed Wang Jianqiang's current cultivation.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"You've reached the Fifth-Order Will Stage?"

"Just a stroke of luck," Wang Jianqiang smiled modestly.

Mu Lingxi looked at Wang Jianqiang, feeling some surprise in her heart.

Senior Brother has reached the Fifth-Order Will Stage?

Tsk tsk~

As expected of Senior Brother.

Too strong!

The Punishment Court Instructor was somewhat speechless.

Luck?

Breaking through one tier might possibly involve an element of luck.

Breaking through four barriers in a row.

That certainly cannot be considered luck.

How does this guy cultivate?

How is it so fast?

Could it be that he didn't stay in Wenxian City, but went out into the wild to adventure and seek opportunities everywhere?

Only by encountering some astonishing opportunities could he have such a cultivation speed.

Thinking of this.

He took a deep look at Wang Jianqiang and sighed, "You kid really have guts; you actually dared to venture into the wild of the Outer Realm Battlefield while only at the First-tier Will Level."
