Chapter 629: Return to the Heaven Fire Domain

Hearing Bai Xiruo's words, Wang Jianqiang's expression tightened.

He looked around and said in a low voice, "This is not the place to talk; let us go inside to speak."

After saying this, he walked into the space behind the courtyard gate that rippled like water waves.

Not long after.

The two arrived inside the Pavilion's main hall.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Bai Xiruo, his expression grave, "Junior Sister Bai, what exactly happened in the Northern Territory?"

Bai Xiruo took a deep breath and began to speak slowly.

After hearing Bai Xiruo's account, Wang Jianqiang's face had completely darkened.

According to what Bai Xiruo said.

About five years ago.

A force named the Blood Spirit Sect suddenly emerged in the Northern Territory.

The cultivation methods and Techniques inherited by this Blood Spirit Sect were all related to blood.

After appearing in the world, it caused a great deal of Slaughter Power.

Although such conduct was despised by many Cultivators, because its range of ravaging was limited to a small area.

The chaos caused was limited, much like an ordinary Demonic Sect.

It did not attract much attention.

But as time passed, the Blood Spirit Sect's acts of slaughtering Cultivators to extract blood became increasingly frequent and unscrupulous.

Later on, it even began to openly massacre surrounding forces, and even mortals were not spared.

As one cultivation force after another and mortal cities and towns were slaughtered.

The areas near the Blood Spirit Sect were almost turned into dead lands.

However.

Just after the living beings in its nearby areas were slaughtered, the Blood Spirit Sect's ambition was completely revealed.

It began to expand at an astonishing speed.

Wherever it passed, whether Cultivators or mortals, or even demonic beasts living in the wild.

All were slaughtered!

Under such wanton slaughter by the Blood Spirit Sect.

In a mere three years.

The entire Northern Territory, nearly one-fifth of its area, had turned into a dead land without a trace of vitality.

Finally.

All forces in the Northern Territory sensed the Blood Spirit Sect's ambition.

They discussed joining forces.

Preparing to wipe out the Blood Spirit Sect in one fell swoop.

However.

This grand alliance failed to have the slightest impact on the Blood Spirit Sect.

Just when the experts of the various forces attacked the Blood Spirit Sect.

The Blood Spirit Sect merely dispatched a few experts to strike, and they easily crushed the alliance of the various forces' experts.

These few Blood Spirit Sect experts...

Were all Cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Stage!

There are no Spirit Transformation Cultivators in the Northern Territory.

A Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator is an invincible existence in the Northern Territory.

Upon learning that there were Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivators sitting in the Blood Spirit Sect, the various forces fell into complete despair.

But what made everyone feel fortunate was.

After the joint extermination operation failed, the Blood Spirit Sect did not specifically target any one force for retaliation.

Instead, it continued to expand and slaughter outward just as before.

Although the Blood Spirit Sect did not immediately retaliate, which made the various Northern Territory forces breathe a sigh of relief.

However.

This relief did not last long.

The expansion of the Blood Spirit Sect continued unabated.

According to this rate of expansion, it would not be long before it completely devoured the entire Northern Territory.

By then, the entire Northern Territory would be completely slaughtered.

No one would be able to escape.

Forced by the crisis of annihilation, many forces thought of migrating.

Planning to leave the Northern Territory and develop in other regions.

However.

It would have been fine not to migrate.

But any sect that migrated was targeted by the Blood Spirit Sect's experts.

Before they could even leave the Northern Territory, they all perished halfway.

Only then.

Did the various forces realize with shock.

They had still underestimated the power of the Blood Spirit Sect.

The Blood Spirit Sect had actually dispatched experts from the very beginning to surround the entire Northern Territory.

This was a premeditated slaughter.

Their goal from the start was to blood-sacrifice all living beings in the entire Northern Territory!

Because the Northern Territory had already been completely sealed off by the Blood Spirit Sect.

The cultivators of the Northern Territory could not escape and could only wait in despair for the slaughter by the Blood Spirit Sect.

The reason Bai Xiruo was able to come to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace was because she had left the Northern Territory years ago due to certain matters.

During the time the Blood Spirit Sect rose and slaughtered the living beings of the Northern Territory, she happened not to be in the Northern Territory.

After many twists and turns, Dong Yue finally used a special method to convey the news from within the Northern Territory to her.

"Blood-sacrifice the entire Northern Territory!"

"This Blood Spirit Sect is truly lawless!"

Cold light flickered in Wang Jianqiang's eyes.

He looked at Bai Xiruo, "When Yue'er sent the message to you, what was the situation of the Gentleman Alliance?"

Bai Xiruo thought for a moment and said, "According to the Sect Master, the Gentleman Alliance had not yet been implicated at that time."

Speaking of this, her expression became grave.

"However, at that time, the Blood Spirit Sect had already expanded to an area one hundred thousand miles away from the Gentleman Alliance."

"From the time I set off until now, more than three months have passed."

"With the expansion speed of the Blood Spirit Sect, even if they haven't appeared in the area controlled by the Gentleman Alliance yet, I fear it is not far off."

"We must find a way to resist the Blood Spirit Sect as soon as possible, and then rush back."

Speaking of this, she looked at Wang Jianqiang, a look of deep anticipation appearing on her face.

Originally, her coming to ask Wang Jianqiang for help was a last resort.

She had not held much hope.

However.

After arriving at the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, she discovered that Wang Jianqiang's status here seemed to exceed her imagination.

In this way...

If Wang Jianqiang could invite an expert from the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace to help, then everything could be easily resolved.

Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators are existences that everyone in the Northern Territory looks up to.

But placed before an expert of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, they are nothing.

Wang Jianqiang saw Bai Xiruo's expression and vaguely guessed her thoughts.

He shook his head inwardly.

The Great Wilderness Immortal Palace is an absolutely neutral force.

Instructors of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace cannot participate in any conflicts.

Even if he spoke up, it could not be changed.

However.

This did not mean he could not invite experts.

At the very least, if he wanted to, it would be quite easy to hire some experts from the Dark Pavilion using Dark Pavilion points.

At worst.

Finding Su Chao's family or the Jiang Family to invite some experts to help would not be difficult.

It was just that.

It was only dealing with some Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators.

It did not require him to beg others.

After pondering for a moment, he said to Bai Xiruo, "Since that is the case, there is no time to lose; we will return to the sect immediately."

"Return to the sect immediately?"

Bai Xiruo's expression stalled, "There are Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators in that Blood Spirit Sect; shouldn't we invite some helpers?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Inviting people is unnecessary; I have my own ways."

Bai Xiruo was stunned.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and did not explain.

He took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and sent a message.

After thinking for a moment.

He called Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Liu Qing'er out from their closed-door cultivation.

He told the four of them everything that had happened in the Northern Territory.

After hearing what had happened in the Northern Territory, looks of urgency appeared on the faces of the four.

Not long after.

The Sound Transmission Talisman in his hand lit up.

His expression stirred as he looked at the five women: Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Liu Qing'er, and Bai Xiruo.

"Let's set off."

Wang Jianqiang and the five women had just walked out of the courtyard gate.

A sound of air being torn suddenly arrived.

Fifteen figures flew in from outside the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

The person in the lead was precisely the middle-aged Instructor who had brought Bai Xiruo into the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace earlier.

"Little friend, these Daoist Friends say that it was you who called them to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace; I have brought them all for you."

"Take a look and see if you recognize these people?"

After arriving in front of Wang Jianqiang, the middle-aged man immediately spoke with a chuckle.

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile, "That's right, I was the one who called them here, intending to borrow the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace's Transmission Array."

"The little friend is leaving the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression shifted, and he pointed to the fourteen figures behind him, "These Daoist Friends are not Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Students; normally, they are not allowed to use the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace's Transmission Array."

"However, I have some friendship with the Instructor who manages the Transmission Array; would you like me to put in a word for you and have them make an exception?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Many thanks for the Instructor's kindness, but I am actually quite familiar with the Instructor who manages the Transmission Array, so I won't trouble you."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, a look of regret flashed through the middle-aged man's eyes.

He nodded.

Afterward, he did not linger any longer, and after bidding farewell to Wang Jianqiang.

His figure flashed and disappeared from sight.

"Greetings, Master!"

After the middle-aged man left, those fourteen figures bowed in unison toward Wang Jianqiang.

These fourteen figures were precisely the fourteen demonic beasts he had subdued using the Beast Taming Ring.

They consisted of ten Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection demonic beasts and four Spirit Transformation Stage Early Stage demonic beasts.

The seductive woman in the white dress at the lead was none other than Xiaoxiaobai.

Her true form was a white snake at the Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection level.

"Alright, get up."

Wang Jianqiang nodded indifferently.

"Senior Brother, who are these Daoist Friends...?"

Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Liu Qing'er all revealed looks of confusion as they looked at these unfamiliar faces.

"They are all Spirit Transformation Stage demonic beasts that I have subdued."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Liu Qing'er felt a flash of astonishment in their eyes.

However, she was already accustomed to Wang Jianqiang's "omnipotence."

After being surprised for just a moment, they returned to calmness.

But Bai Xiruo could not be as calm as the four of them.

She looked at Xiaoxiaobai and the others, her face full of shock, unable to settle down for a long time.

Although her cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage, she had lived in the Northern Territory of the Tianhuo Domain for a long time, and her horizons were limited.

In her world.

Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators were already top-tier mighty figures.

They were the goal of his cultivation in this life.

Yet.

Such powerful demonic beasts had actually been subdued by Senior Brother Wang.

And it wasn't just one.

It was a full fourteen!

How could she not be shocked?

After a long while.

She could not help but feel a surge of intense joy in her heart.

No wonder Senior Brother Wang was so confident.

So it turned out.

He actually had so many Spirit Transformation Stage demonic beasts under his command!

With the help of these Spirit Transformation Stage demonic beasts, perhaps they could truly contend against the Blood Spirit Sect.

At this moment.

She, who had originally been somewhat worried, was suddenly filled with confidence.

"Junior Sister Bai, it's time to go."

Wang Jianqiang looked at the somewhat dazed Bai Xiruo.

Bai Xiruo immediately came back to her senses and subconsciously nodded, "Oh, okay~"

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

He took the lead and flew in one direction.

Not long after.

The group arrived at the Transmission Array.

The Instructor managing the Transmission Array had originally been leaning leisurely under a large tree, but upon seeing Wang Jianqiang, he immediately sprang up.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Wang Jianqiang.

He greeted Wang Jianqiang with great enthusiasm.

After Wang Jianqiang responded with a few smiles, he proposed the request to be transmitted to the Tianhuo Domain.

The Instructor managing the Transmission Array readily agreed.

As for outsiders like Xiaoxiaobai who should have been prohibited from using the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace's Transmission Array.

He acted as if he hadn't seen them and did not mention a word.

The Transmission Array was activated directly.

A moment later.

The Transmission Array lit up.

The figures of the group disappeared amidst the shining Spirit Light of the Transmission Array.

……

Tianhuo Domain.

On the edge of the Eastern Territory, in a wilderness near the Northern Territory.

A patch of void suddenly twisted.

Immediately after.

Twenty figures walked out from the twisted space one after another.

The group stood suspended in the air.

At the very front was a young man.

The young man looked around, a flash of Golden Light appearing in his eyes.

He looked into the distance.

A city appeared within his field of vision.

Is that Xuanguang City?

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

When he had just joined the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace and returned to the Tianhuo Domain using the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace's Transmission Array, the location he appeared at was exactly here.

He looked around and identified the direction.

He waved his palm.

An exquisite metal ring appeared in mid-air.

"Do not resist."

He looked at the thirteen transformed Monster beasts other than Xiaoxiaobai, his thoughts stirring.

The next moment.

Thirteen figures turned into streams of light and merged into the metal ring.

The metal ring was precisely the Beast Taming Ring he had obtained from an Ancient Cultivator.

The Beast Taming Ring not only possessed the function of controlling Monster beasts, but also contained an independent space within it, known as the Beast Control Space.

However, there was no Spirit Qi in the Beast Control Space, so Monster beasts could not cultivate within it.

It was only suitable for temporarily storing Monster beasts for a short time, and not suitable for long-term residence.

This was also the reason why he had not stored these Monster beasts into the Beast Control Space before.

Afterwards, he put away the Beast Taming Ring.

He waved his palm again.

An exquisite palace appeared in mid-air.

"It will take some time to return to the sect from here."

"Let us use this treasure to travel."

Wang Jianqiang looked at Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Liu Qing'er, Bai Xiruo, and Xiaoxiaobai.

His figure flashed, and he entered the palace.

The women followed closely behind, flying in one after another.

After everyone had entered, the palace shrank rapidly, turning to the size of a palm, and shot off into the distance.

……

After entering the palace.

Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Liu Qing'er, and Xiaoxiaobai each returned to their rooms to cultivate.

Wang Jianqiang called Bai Xiruo into his room.

He sized up Bai Xiruo until she revealed an unnatural expression, then he smiled and said.

"Junior Sister Bai, you were the number one person among the Outer Sect cultivators of our batch, yet now you are only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, this cultivation speed..."

"Is a bit slow."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Bai Xiruo was speechless for a moment.

At her age, being able to reach the Nascent Soul Early Stage, her cultivation speed was already considered quite fast.

Although she could not compare to those Monsters of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, it definitely could not be considered slow, right?

She shook her head, "Senior Brother Wang is a heaven-gifted talent of a generation; naturally, it is not something Xiruo can compare to."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "No, no, no, on the path of cultivation, talent is important, but resources are equally important."

"Junior Sister has outstanding natural talent; if not for being limited by resources, your achievements would certainly not stop here."

Bai Xiruo smiled, "Senior Brother speaks the truth, but no matter where one is, resources are always limited."

"When you left the sect, Senior Brother, you left behind quite a lot of resources, and Xiruo has benefited deeply."

"The cultivation resources I have obtained are already enough to make ordinary people green with envy."

"Xiruo is already content."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

"Junior Sister Bai, you are muddled."

"On the path of cultivation, how can one be content?"
