Chapter 529: Misunderstood Him?

Outside the main gate of the Ling Family.

Space solidified, and a deathly silence fell between heaven and earth.

Everyone seemed to have turned into statues, unable to move a muscle.

In the entire world, only the masked woman remained completely unaffected.

"Shatter~"

A cold, clear voice emerged from her lips.

The next moment.

Above Wang Jianqiang, the massive Spiritual Power palm that was about to strike him suddenly shattered.

All its power was annihilated.

It did not stir up the slightest ripple.

At the same time.

Luo Xue and the twenty-one other Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators burst apart silently, and even their Nascent Souls could not escape, collapsing instantly.

Dense cracks appeared on Wan Guihai's Nascent Soul as well, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

To the side.

That Wan Family Spirit Transformation Stage elder spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated in a sorry state.

While retreating, he pointed a finger at Wan Guihai's Nascent Soul nearby.

A mass of Spiritual Power instantly enveloped Wan Guihai's Nascent Soul, isolating it from the tearing force coming from the surrounding space.

Wan Guihai's nearly collapsed Nascent Soul was, in the end, preserved.

At the same time.

Wang Jianqiang, Linge, and the others also regained their ability to move.

Linge and the three Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of the Ling Family looked at the mysterious woman who had suddenly appeared, shock written across their faces.

Wang Jianqiang, however, glanced at the spot where Luo Xue and the others had been reduced to dust, a flash of regret in his eyes.

He then looked at the Wan Family elder.

Seeing that he had preserved Wan Guihai's Nascent Soul, he couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile.

The elder looked at Wan Guihai's Nascent Soul.

Upon sensing that the intangible Spirit Flame was still burning within Wan Guihai's Soul Sea, and that Wan Guihai's Soul had already reached the brink of collapse.

His expression darkened.

He looked up at the woman who had just appeared, a flash of wariness on his face.

"Does Your Excellency intend to interfere in the affairs of my Wan Family?"

The woman looked at the elder indifferently, said nothing, and pointed a finger at him.

In an instant.

Space solidified once more.

The elder was immediately unable to move, a flash of horror on his face.

He could not speak.

His Spirit Sense surged out, turning into a fierce but cowardly voice that rang out, "Daoist Friend, I, Wan, advise you to think clearly. The Clan Head of my Wan Family is about to break through to the Spirit Transformation Late Stage. Are you certain you wish to make an enemy of my Wan Family?"

The woman's attack did not pause in the slightest because of the elder's words.

She pointed her finger again.

"Shatter!"

Amidst the cold, clear words, the elder's physical body shattered instantly.

Following closely behind.

His Nascent Soul was revealed.

With a terrified expression, it fled into the distance.

However.

He had only just escaped a hundred or so feet.

The surrounding space solidified once again.

"No, don't kill me!"

The elder looked at the woman in terror.

He was a Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator, about to break through to the Spirit Transformation Mid Stage.

In this Cang City, he could be considered a local despot.

Respected by thousands, able to summon wind and rain, with no one daring to disobey.

He had not yet finished enjoying this life.

He did not want to die yet!

But...

The woman was hair-raisingly decisive.

From beginning to end, she did not utter a single superfluous word.

This time.

She ignored the elder's words again.

Her slender, elegant finger pointed out slowly, her red lips parted slightly.

She was just about to utter that word "Shatter" again.

"Wait!"

Just at this moment, Wang Jianqiang suddenly spoke up.

The woman's movements paused, and she looked over toward Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "The Nascent Soul of a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator is excellent material for Alchemy; it cannot be wasted."

The woman's expression stirred, thinking of Wang Jianqiang's status as an Alchemist.

She nodded.

She grabbed with her palm.

The old man's Nascent Soul was instantly sucked toward her.

She flicked her finger.

A wisp of Spiritual Power struck the old man's Nascent Soul.

Amidst shrill screams, the old man's Nascent Soul was instantly severely damaged.

Afterward, she waved her palm.

The old man's screaming vanished instantly.

His consciousness was wiped away directly.

Following that, she retrieved Wan Guihai's Nascent Soul as well.

She probed Wan Guihai's Nascent Soul.

She immediately discovered the intangible, formless Spirit Flame within Wan Guihai's Hunhai that seemed to specifically target the Soul, and her expression froze.

What a peculiar Spirit Flame.

At this moment, Wan Guihai's Soul had already begun to collapse, even without external interference.

It would completely dissipate in a short while.

Seeing this scene.

She withdrew her Spirit Sense and waved her hand casually.

She sent the two men's Nascent Souls before Wang Jianqiang.

"Many thanks."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and, without the slightest bit of politeness, put the two Nascent Souls away.

The woman looked at Wang Jianqiang, her cold voice ringing out slowly, "We came to this place to carry out a mission, and my mission is only to ensure your safety during the mission."

"Not to act as your hired muscle."

There was a heavy sense of emotion in the woman's tone.

After receiving the mission, she had rushed to the Taicang Mountain Range at top speed.

She had already been waiting there for Wang Jianqiang for quite some time.

If Wang Jianqiang had headed straight for the Taicang Mountain Range.

Even if he were late and kept her waiting, she would not have had the slightest objection.

She had not expected this fellow to run off to Cang City halfway through.

What left her even more speechless was that the other party had the audacity to send her a message, asking her to come and save the situation.

Originally, she had not wanted to come.

But after hearing Wang Jianqiang say he had encountered great trouble and was likely in mortal danger.

She could only suppress her emotions and rush over.

Who would have thought.

The reality was completely different from what this guy had said in his message.

What provocation from the Wan Family, and he had no choice but to resist?

This bastard was purely doing it to pick up women!

After finishing,

The space in front of her rippled like water, and she prepared to step into it.

"Ahem, Fairy, please stay your step."

Gu Xinran's footsteps paused, and she looked at Wang Jianqiang indifferently.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Since you, Daoist Friend, have already come all this way, why not do a good deed to the end and help me wipe out the Wan Family Clan Head as well?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinran's expression instantly stiffened.

Since she began cultivation, this was the first time she had encountered such a thick-skinned and shameless person.

She had already made it clear to him just now.

How could he have the nerve to ask?

Could he not understand the meaning behind someone's words?

"I am not going."

She said angrily, one foot already stepping into the void.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang's gaze flickered.

He sighed, "Since that is the case, then Wang can only go and take the risk himself."

Gu Xinran's pace faltered.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang, somewhat speechless, "You are going to try? Are you looking for death? Once you reach the Spirit Transformation Stage, the gap between each minor realm is astonishingly large."

"You, a Seventh-Order Will Stage cultivator, want to deal with a Spirit Transformation Mid Stage cultivator?"

Wang Jianqiang shrugged, "It cannot be helped; Wang cannot just watch a friend fall into danger."

Gu Xinran looked at Linge.

A flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

With some hesitation, she sent a voice transmission to Wang Jianqiang, "She is not your..."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and sent a voice transmission back, "Fairy, what are you thinking? When I first entered the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, she was the one who guided me."

"Later, we coincidentally became neighbors."

"We are just very good friends."

So that was it.

To think that Wang Jianqiang could go to such lengths for a friend!

It seems I misunderstood him.

Not only is he not the kind of person I imagined.

On the contrary, he is an upright and kind person who would go through fire and water for his friends...

A person of noble character.
