Chapter 501: Not Doing Proper Business

On a square.

A stone tower about ten zhang high stood in the center of the square.

The stone tower had nine levels in total, appearing dark yellow overall, covered in dense cracks, and exuding an ancient aura.

The stone tower looked short, but it actually contained nine vast spaces within.

It was incomparably heavy as a whole.

Even a Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator could not move it in the slightest.

This tower was precisely the Great Desolate Ancient Tower.

At this moment.

A woman with a petite, exquisite figure and an extremely delicate face was standing outside the tower gate, her face showing anxiety.

She was none other than Yun Xin, who had just come out of the Great Desolate Ancient Tower not long ago.

One year ago.

Mu Lingxi returned from exploring the Great Desolate Ancient Tower and brought back a piece of news.

In the second level of the Great Desolate Ancient Tower, a Spirit Flame was about to be born.

At that time, Qingcheng and the others had already gone out on missions, and only she, Yang Wanxin, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Tu Shan Youyou were in the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

Because Mu Lingxi had already been injured in the Great Desolate Ancient Tower, and her qualification for free entry into the Great Desolate Ancient Tower had already been used, and she had no Academic Credits on her, she could not enter again.

Thus, the five of them entered the Great Desolate Ancient Tower.

After the five of them entered the Great Desolate Ancient Tower, they followed the information Mu Lingxi had provided.

They reached the second level of the Great Desolate Ancient Tower all the way and found the place where the Spirit Flame was located.

After waiting for a period of time.

Not long ago, the Spirit Flame finally finished gestating completely.

Originally, everything was going very smoothly.

But just as the Spirit Flame was taking shape and being born.

Ye Lingyun, whether he had obtained the news from somewhere or just had dumb luck, actually happened to arrive just in time.

The two sides had deep-seated grievances, and a conflict broke out the moment they met.

If it were only Ye Lingyun alone, they would not actually be afraid.

Although Ye Lingyun was strong, he had not broken through to the Second-tier Will Level.

Relying on their numerical advantage, they were enough to suppress him.

But Ye Lingyun, from who knows when, had actually gotten mixed up with Di and the Great Star Envoy.

Although the three of them had cultivation levels comparable to theirs.

Their combat power was extremely formidable.

And among them.

Only Tu Shan Youyou's combat power could rival them, but she could only handle one person.

And the combat power of her, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Yang Wanxin was far inferior to any one of the three, Ye Lingyun and the others.

Even if they combined the strength of the four of them, it was difficult to contend with the remaining two.

In the end, the Spirit Flame was snatched away, and they were also hunted down by Ye Lingyun and the three of them.

It was only through the desperate efforts of Tu Shan Youyou and the others that she finally found an opportunity to escape and report the news.

Just now, she had already sent a message to Mu Lingxi.

Among them.

Mu Lingxi's combat power was absolutely the undisputed first.

As long as Mu Lingxi could enter the Great Desolate Ancient Tower and join forces with Tu Shan Youyou and the other four, there would be a chance to repel Ye Lingyun and the three of them!

Although Mu Lingxi's free quota for New Students to enter the Great Desolate Ancient Tower had already been exhausted.

But they could be considered to have had some gains in this Great Desolate Ancient Tower this time.

She had already brought all these gains out and exchanged them for Academic Credits.

It was just enough for one person to enter the Great Desolate Ancient Tower.

While Yun Xin was waiting anxiously.

A flash of Spirit Light suddenly appeared in front of her, and two figures appeared before her.

Seeing Mu Lingxi, Yun Xin, who had been waiting impatiently for a while, subconsciously wanted to step forward and grab her.

But the next moment.

She suddenly saw the figure beside Mu Lingxi.

Her movements stopped instantly.

A look of astonishment first appeared on her exquisite face, followed by a surge of intense excitement.

"Daoist Friend Wang, you're back!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but step forward two paces and hug Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and patted her slender, smooth back, "Mm, I'm back."

Yun Xin let go of Wang Jianqiang.

Thinking of the important matter, she said anxiously, "Ye Lingyun, Di, and the Great Star Envoy are currently hunting down the four Fairies, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Yang Wanxin, and Tu Shan Youyou. Daoist Friend Wang, hurry and go save them."

"If it's too late, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Hearing Yun Xin's words, Wang Jianqiang frowned.

These three actually joined forces.

And they even dared to take the initiative to strike at his people?

Could it be that they haven't seen him in all these years and assumed he was dead?

Thinking of this, Wang Jianqiang let out a cold laugh and walked toward the Great Desolate Ancient Tower.

Seeing this, Yun Xin hurriedly grabbed Wang Jianqiang.

"Daoist Friend Wang, I have already exchanged enough Academic Credits for one person to enter the Great Desolate Ancient Tower; let Lingxi Fairy go in with you."

"Ye Lingyun and Di have formidable strength, and the Great Star Envoy's divination ability is even more unfathomable; the three of them joining forces is incredibly troublesome, so it would be safer if Lingxi Fairy went in with you."

"No need. Dealing with three clowns is enough for me alone; there is no need to waste Academic Credits."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head and continued walking toward the Great Desolate Ancient Tower.

"But—"

Yun Xin looked at Wang Jianqiang's back, wanting to say something more.

Mu Lingxi suddenly interrupted her, "Fairy Yun Xin, rest assured; since Senior Brother says he can handle it, then there will be no problem at all."

Wang Jianqiang listened to the conversation faintly drifting from behind and smiled lightly.

Now his cultivation had advanced further, reaching the Fifth-Order Will Stage.

Coupled with the simplified version of the Demon Suppressing Profound Array at his side.

Even without the strength amplification of the Wenxian City Array, he was enough to contend with a Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivator, let alone three mere First-tier Will Stage Cultivators?

Among these Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Students.

Every single one of them...

Except for Linglong, whose strength had risen to a higher level after her foundation transformed, no one could pose the slightest threat to him!

Just three First-tier Will Stage Cultivators.

Even if the three were extremely extraordinary.

So what?

This time.

He would definitely round them all up.

"Present your Identity Token."

Just as Wang Jianqiang arrived at the entrance of the Great Desolate Ancient Tower, an old man suddenly flashed out in front of him.

Hearing the old man's words, he flipped his palm, and the Identity Token appeared in his palm.

The old man's gaze swept over the token in Wang Jianqiang's hand.

"You are Wang Jianqiang?"

He looked at Wang Jianqiang with surprise.

"Does the Instructor know me?" Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred.

The old man smiled and nodded, "You are a New Student and have one free opportunity to enter the Great Desolate Ancient Tower; do you confirm you want to enter the Great Desolate Ancient Tower?"

"Confirmed."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

The old man smiled gently and stepped aside.

At the same time, the tightly closed, ancient stone gate of the Great Desolate Ancient Tower slowly opened amidst a heavy grinding sound.

"Thank you, Instructor."

Wang Jianqiang cupped his fists at the old man, his figure flashed, and he vanished into the entrance.

The old man looked at the entrance of the Great Desolate Ancient Tower and shook his head.

An Alchemist.

And an Alchemist with talent that could be called unprecedented; first he went to the Outer Realm Battlefield, and now, not long after returning, he has entered this Great Desolate Ancient Tower again.

Not to mention the Desolate Beasts inside the Great Desolate Ancient Tower.

To encourage competition among students, Slaughter Power is not prohibited in the Secret Realm.

The Palace Masters are the same.

Just letting him jump back and forth in these dangerous places?

They don't even know how to restrain him and let him do something proper.

Are they not afraid that this Immortal Seedling will break?
