Chapter 628: Turmoil in the Northern Territory

The woman had a slender figure and was dressed in a pale yellow long dress.

Her skin was like congealed fat, her features were exquisite, and she had bright eyes and white teeth.

Because she lacked an Identity Token for the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, she was detected by a patrolling Instructor the moment she approached the entrance of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

"This is a restricted area of the Immortal Palace; outsiders are forbidden from approaching."

With a flash of Spirit Light, a middle-aged man blocked the woman's path.

He did not deliberately release his aura, but the faint trace of aura he revealed was enough to make the woman feel a great sense of oppression.

Her face paled.

With a respectful expression, she bowed to the middle-aged man, "This junior has an old acquaintance cultivating within the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, and I have urgent business to find him; I beg Senior to show some leniency."

The middle-aged man frowned and said indifferently, "If you have urgent business, just send a message for the other party to come out and meet you."

"I have already said that outsiders are forbidden from entering the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace."

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the woman sighed inwardly.

It was not that she hadn't sent a message.

In fact, she had arrived outside the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace seven days ago.

During these seven days, she had sent messages several times.

It was just that...

She did not know if Senior Brother Wang was in seclusion or doing something else...

She had never received a reply.

Now that her sect could face total annihilation at any moment, she knew she could not continue to delay.

That was why today's scene of her trespassing into the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace had occurred.

Thinking of her sect's predicament, a flash of urgency appeared on the woman's face, "Senior, my old acquaintance seems to be in seclusion and failed to notice my message in time, and my matter is far too urgent—"

"Enough."

The middle-aged man interrupted the woman's words with a cold expression, "The Great Wilderness Immortal Palace has many Disciples; if everyone were like you, wouldn't the rules of my Great Wilderness Immortal Palace be thrown into chaos?"

"In the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, the rules are sacred, and no one may place themselves above them."

"Even I am no exception."

"Leave, or do not blame me for being discourteous."

The woman's expression froze. Seeing the cold luster already rising in the middle-aged man's eyes, she knew that staying any longer would only anger this Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Instructor and cost her her life.

It seemed.

She could only leave for now and find another way.

Thinking of this.

She turned decisively and walked into the distance.

However, at the thought of her sect's situation.

She could not help but sigh once more.

"Wang Jianqiang, if you do not appear again, the sect will truly be finished."

Her sigh was very soft.

But what kind of cultivation did a Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Instructor possess?

The lowest was at least an Integration Stage Cultivator, and he easily caught the sound of her sigh in his ears.

Wang Jianqiang!

Hearing this name, the middle-aged man was stunned.

He immediately looked at the woman.

"Wait."

Hearing the voice from behind, the woman's heart tightened.

Could it be—

This Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Instructor had changed his mind and did not want to let her leave?

Thinking of this.

She looked at him with full vigilance, "Senior has already agreed to let this junior leave; if you go back on your word, are you not afraid of losing your status for nothing?"

Detecting the vigilance in the woman's expression, the middle-aged man shook his head, "Little girl, do not be nervous; I have no ill intentions."

As he spoke, a gentle smile appeared on his face, completely different from his previous cold expression.

Even his tone became very gentle, as if he were afraid of scaring the woman, "Is the student you are looking for named Wang Jianqiang?"

The woman was stunned.

The other party actually knew who she was looking for?

Could it be—

Her words just now had been overheard?

However.

Wang Jianqiang was merely a student.

This person, however, was an Instructor.

In terms of status, the Instructor was undoubtedly higher.

Why did the other party's attitude change so drastically the moment he heard the name Wang Jianqiang?

Although she was somewhat confused in her heart.

The change in this Instructor's attitude was undoubtedly good news for her.

She did not think further and nodded, "That is correct, the person I am looking for is indeed named Wang Jianqiang."

As she spoke, she cautiously glanced at the middle-aged man, "Senior, do you know him?"

Hearing the woman's response, the smile on the middle-aged man's face deepened a little, "Of course I know him. In this Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, who could not know Wang Shixiong?"

"Why didn't you say earlier that you were here to find Wang Shixiong?"

"Come, come, I will take you to find him now."

Wang Shixiong?

The woman was stunned, and her heart suddenly became uneasy.

Wang Jianqiang was just a student who had joined the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace not long ago.

Could there be a mistake?

Could it be that in this Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, besides Senior Brother Wang, there is another big shot also named Wang Jianqiang?

However.

She had already said just now that the person she was looking for was a student.

Forget it.

I'll go in and see first.

Thinking of this, she bowed to the middle-aged man, "Thank you, Senior."

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something else.

She said with some hesitation, "But the rules of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace..."

The middle-aged man waved his hand indifferently, "Bah, rules are dead, but people are alive. It's fine to go in for a moment."

The woman:...

Are the bottom lines of the Instructors in this Great Wilderness Immortal Palace all this flexible?

Residence Space.

Wang Jianqiang, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the Will Power within his body that was several times stronger than before.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

After more than half a year, he had finally broken through to the Ninth-Order Will Stage.

Just as he stood up, preparing to leave the Cultivation Room.

He suddenly sensed the Array outside his residence fluctuating.

"Someone triggered the Array?"

His expression shifted.

His figure flashed and disappeared.

Outside.

Outside the courtyard where Wang Jianqiang lived.

A middle-aged man and a woman in a yellow dress were waiting outside the door.

The woman looked at the courtyard gate.

Her expression was somewhat anxious.

It seemed she was afraid that the person walking out from inside would not be the person she wanted to see.

Suddenly.

The tightly closed courtyard gate opened, revealing the space behind it rippling like water waves.

A figure walked out from within.

"Senior Brother Wang!"

Seeing that figure, the worry on the yellow-dressed woman's face vanished instantly.

Replaced by a wave of pleasant surprise.

She took three steps in two and arrived before Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang had just walked out of the courtyard gate.

An excited voice entered his ears, followed by a gust of fragrant wind.

A stunning figure had already appeared before him, excitedly gripping his palm.

Wang Jianqiang subconsciously looked at the yellow-dressed woman.

When he saw that familiar face, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Junior Sister Bai, why have you come to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace?"

The person who had come was none other than Bai Xiruo.

Back when he was still an Outer Sect Disciple of the Hehuan Sect, she was one of the Outer Sect Three Beauties and the first place winner of the Outer Sect Competition.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on her hand.

Bai Xiruo's cheeks flushed red.

Only then did she realize she seemed to have been a bit too excited.

She hurriedly let go of his hand.

Seeing that Wang Jianqiang was indeed acquainted with the yellow-dressed woman, the middle-aged man's eyes immediately lit up.

He said with a face full of sincerity.

"Little friend, this young lady seems to have a very urgent matter."

"After I heard that the person she was looking for was you, I disregarded the rules of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace and brought her in."

"Although bringing an outsider into the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace will result in some punishment, since it is to help you, little friend, I don't take such a small matter to heart at all."

"This doesn't count as any great favor, so please don't take it to heart, little friend."

Wang Jianqiang was taken aback, then laughed, "I have troubled you, Instructor."

"This favor, Wang will remember."

The middle-aged man felt a surge of joy, "Hey, little friend, what are you doing? I only helped with a small matter, what favor or not..."

"You two chat, I won't disturb you."

"If there is any place you need help, feel free to find me."

After saying this, he left happily.

He had a nephew whose aptitude was average and whose cultivation progress was slow.

He was just thinking about how to ask Wang Jianqiang to help refine some Pill, and with this favor, wouldn't that be easy to handle?

Bai Xiruo looked at the departing back of the middle-aged Instructor.

She looked toward Wang Jianqiang, somewhat dazed, "Senior Brother Wang, how does it seem like this Instructor is currying favor with you?"

An Instructor currying favor with a student?

It seems to have gotten reversed, right?

And.

He actually called Senior Brother Wang 'Wang Shixiong' earlier?

What is going on with this?

Senior Brother Wang's status in this Great Wilderness Immortal Palace seems very high!

Wang Jianqiang smiled and did not explain, "Junior Sister Bai, you came all the way to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace to find me, is there some urgent matter?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Bai Xiruo immediately snapped back to reality.

Her expression became grave.

"Senior Brother Wang, the Northern Territory is in great chaos, and the sect is on the verge of destruction."
