Chapter 631: Returning to the Sect

Wang Jianqiang looked at the wondrous White Jade Sedan shrouded in clouds and mist.

A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Such a carriage could be considered barely worthy of his temperament.

Afterwards, he looked at the nine other Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection shapeshifted demonic beasts, excluding Xiaoxiaobai, "You all shall guard the flanks; anyone with ill intent is to be killed without mercy."

"Yes, Master."

The nine figures flashed, positioning themselves around the sedan.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the women and smiled, "Let us enter the sedan."

"This sedan is truly beautiful."

Mu Lingxi had been observing the White Jade Sedan, and upon hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, she flew inside impatiently.

Afterwards, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Liu Qing'er, and Bai Xiruo flew in one after another.

"Master, I~"

Xiaoxiaobai looked at her "companions" around the sedan, a flash of hesitation crossing her charming face.

"From now on, you are my Commander of the guards."

"You only need to command these people; there is no need for you to do such menial labor."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and flew into the sedan.

Xiaoxiaobai hesitated for a moment before following him inside.

"Depart."

Inside the sedan.

Wang Jianqiang's voice drifted out.

The four demonic beasts pulling the sedan roared in unison and flew forward.

……

In the Endless Wilderness.

Four massive beasts whistled past.

Behind the giant beasts, amidst the ethereal clouds and mist, a magnificent sedan appeared and disappeared from view.

The sedan was entirely white jade, with flowing rays of light, incomparably gorgeous.

Suddenly.

Just as the four giant beasts were pulling the White Jade Sedan over a mountain range.

More than ten figures suddenly flashed out.

They launched an attack on the White Jade Sedan.

"Seeking death!"

The expressions of the nine people scattered around the White Jade Sedan turned cold instantly.

They charged out simultaneously.

They neutralized the incoming attacks one by one.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, they charged straight at the dozen or so attackers.

A great battle erupted.

Powerful Spiritual Power fluctuations spread continuously.

Half an hour later.

"Master, those attackers were all from the Blood Spirit Sect."

"Except for one who escaped, all the others have been executed."

One person bowed toward the White Jade Sedan.

"Mm, continue on."

Wang Jianqiang's calm voice drifted out from the White Jade Sedan.

He did not care about the person who had fled.

These people were clearly the same as the burly man from before, all coming from the Blood Spirit Sect.

The news of his entry into the Northern Territory must have already reached the Blood Spirit Sect.

Therefore.

One person escaping had no impact on him whatsoever.

It was insignificant.

……

Blood Spirit Sect.

In a dim grand hall.

An old man said with some panic.

"Sect Master, of the Soul Tablets of the dozen or so Elders guarding the border between the Northern Territory and the Eastern Territory, only one remains, the rest..."

"They have all shattered."

A middle-aged man in blood robes stood before the old man.

Upon hearing the old man's words, the blood-robed middle-aged man did not show much reaction, nodding faintly, "Understood, you may withdraw."

Hearing the blood-robed middle-aged man's calm tone, the old man breathed a secret sigh of relief.

He slowly withdrew.

Once the hall doors closed again.

The blood-robed middle-aged man turned and looked toward a dim corner, "Third Elder, what is your take on this?"

After the Sect Master of Blood Spirit Sect finished speaking, a figure slowly walked out from that dim corner.

That was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe.

The Sect Master of Blood Spirit Sect looked at the middle-aged man in the black robe, a flash of respect in his eyes, "Just a short while ago, I received information sent by the Elder guarding the border."

"A Ninth-Order Will Stage prodigy has forcibly broken into the Northern Territory, followed by numerous Spirit Transformation Stage powerhouses; presumably, this must be his doing."

"A Ninth-Order Will Stage prodigy?"

A look of gravity flashed through the eyes of the middle-aged man in the black robe.

Prodigies capable of reaching the Ninth-Order Will Stage are rare in the world.

Looking at this world, the Tianhuo Domain is merely an ordinary place; how could such a figure possibly descend here?

Could it be...

Their actions were discovered by some top-tier force?

No~

That's not right!

If that were the case, the other party would not let a Ninth-Order Will Stage prodigy come to take such a risk.

It must be a coincidence.

At most, in another year, his mission will be completed.

During this period, there must absolutely be no slip-ups.

Thinking of this, a cold luster flashed in his eyes.

Regardless of which force's prodigy that person is.

Since he insists on wading into these muddy waters, then let him come and never return!

After killing those dozen or so Blood Spirit Sect Cultivators.

Wang Jianqiang and his group did not encounter the slightest obstacle in their subsequent journey.

Very quickly.

The Hehuan Sect was already visible in the distance.

"That is..."

Inside the Hehuan Sect.

The Disciples seemed to sense something and all raised their heads to look at the sky.

Immediately.

A gorgeous White Jade Sedan appeared in their field of vision.

Sensing the heavy, mountain-like pressure emanating from the White Jade Sedan.

Everyone revealed a look of shock.

Whoosh~

Several sounds of breaking through the air rang out.

Five figures flew up from within the Hehuan Sect and revealed their forms in mid-air.

All five were female Cultivators.

Each one was of peerless beauty.

They were none other than Dong Yue, Yan Qingxuan, Song Qiuyue, Qiu Shuang, and Ye Qingxue.

Because they possessed the numerous resources left behind by Wang Jianqiang before he departed.

Dong Yue and Yan Qingxuan had both reached the Fourth-tier Will Level.

Song Qiuyue and Qiu Shuang had reached the Third-tier Will Level.

The youngest, Ye Qingxue, had also reached Nascent Soul Stage Perfection and, not long ago, manifested her will, reaching the First-tier Will Level.

Now.

The five women had all become top-tier powerhouses within the Northern Territory.

However.

When the five saw the four demonic beasts pulling the sedan, they could not help but reveal looks of shock.

Spirit Transformation Stage demonic beasts!

Anything capable of bringing them such a great sense of pressure must be a Spirit Transformation Stage demonic beast!

And those nine guards...

In their perception, although these nine guards did not reveal the slightest aura, they were even more unfathomable.

Their strength was surely not below that of the demonic beasts pulling the sedan!

And that White Jade Sedan.

One look and it was clearly no ordinary object.

Who exactly is the person inside the sedan?

To actually use Spirit Transformation Stage demonic beasts to pull a sedan!

What a grand display!

The five women looked at each other, looks of worry appearing on their faces simultaneously.

The Hehuan Sect cannot afford to provoke such a figure.

Let alone the master inside the sedan, they could not even resist the four demonic beasts pulling it!

Dong Yue hesitated for a moment, then flew before the White Jade Sedan with a grave face, "May I ask which senior has arrived at our Hehuan Sect?"

"Junior, Sect Master of Hehuan Sect Dong Yue, please give your instructions."

After Dong Yue's words fell, an aged laugh rang out from the White Jade Sedan, "Hehehe, Hehuan Sect? This suits the Ancestor's heart very well."

"This Ancestor hasn't had a taste of meat in nearly a thousand years; your looks are not bad, so I shall give you this opportunity."

"Afterward, this Ancestor will reward you handsomely."

Hearing the voice from the White Jade Sedan, Dong Yue's expression changed, "Senior, you have misunderstood. Although we are the Hehuan Sect, we are not the Demonic Sect; I ask that you please forgive us."

"Little beauty, this Ancestor is giving you an opportunity; do not be ignorant of what is good for you. Otherwise, if you anger this Ancestor, hehehe..."

From within the sedan, that lecherous laughter rang out once more.

Dong Yue's figure flashed as she retreated to the side of Yan Qingxuan and the others.

Her fingers tapped repeatedly.

Streams of Spiritual Power merged into the void, and an Array suddenly manifested, shrouding the Hehuan Sect.

It was precisely the Small Heavenly Spirit Array.

Afterward, Dong Yue exchanged a glance with the other four women, and a look of determination simultaneously appeared on their faces.

"Let's fight it out!"

Just as the atmosphere was tense and on the verge of breaking.

The curtain in front of the White Jade Sedan was lifted.

A figure walked out from within.

Dong Yue and the others' expressions tightened, and they hurriedly looked over.

Immediately following, the five women's expressions simultaneously froze.

"Wang Jianqiang, you want to die."

Dong Yue was the first to react, her pretty face flushed red with anger.

Wang Jianqiang curled his lips, "What a fickle woman. Just a moment ago you were calling me Senior, but now you call me by my full name. If that really won't do, calling me Brother Qiang to hear would also be fine."

Dong Yue glared at Wang Jianqiang.

She couldn't help but grind her teeth.

At this moment.

Yan Qingxuan, Song Qiuyue, Qiu Shuang, and Ye Qingxue, after a brief moment of dullness, also came back to their senses.

Except for the obedient and sensible Ye Qingxue, who revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

The other three women all rolled their eyes.

Afterward, Yan Qingxuan's figure flashed, appearing beside Wang Jianqiang.

She looked Wang Jianqiang up and down, clicking her tongue in wonder.

Wang Jianqiang glanced at her, "What is it, little Xuanxuan? Don't you recognize your Brother Qiang?"

"Or is it that your Brother Qiang is too dazzling now, and you don't dare to acknowledge me?"

Yan Qingxuan rolled her eyes, "I just can't figure out why good people don't do well, while a scourge like you can do so well."

Wang Jianqiang's expression froze.

Dong Yue, Song Qiuyue, and Qiu Shuang all laughed.

Although Ye Qingxue was deliberately controlling it, she still couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hall Master Yan, don't say that; Senior Brother Wang is actually quite good."

"It's just that he likes to crack jokes occasionally."

Wang Yu Yao walked out from the White Jade Sedan and said with a pursed-lip smile.

After her.

Mu Lingxi, Su Yutong, Liu Qing'er, Bai Xiruo, and Xiaoxiaobai walked out one after another.

Sensing the unfathomable aura on Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Mu Lingxi, Yan Qingxuan's eyes lit up.

Immediately following.

She looked at the enchanting figure in the white dress at the very back and couldn't help but reveal a look of confusion, "Who is this?"

"Her name is Xiaoxiaobai, my Commander of the guards."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled.

Commander of the guards?

Yan Qingxuan looked at the nine figures around the sedan, her expression shifting.

Immediately following.

Her attention couldn't help but fall upon the name Xiaoxiaobai.

She couldn't help but say, "The style of her name, why does it seem like you were the one who gave it to her?"

Wang Jianqiang chuckled and said proudly, "How about it? This name is not bad, right? It contains a hint of purity within the playfulness, and a hint of cuteness within the playfulness; isn't it very pleasant to hear?"

Yan Qingxuan was speechless for a moment.

As expected...

This trashy name could only have been thought up by Wang Jianqiang.

After some pleasantries.

Wang Jianqiang waved his palm and put away the White Jade Sedan.

The four beasts pulling the sedan, having received Wang Jianqiang's permission, transformed back into human form.

After the group landed inside the Hehuan Sect.

Under Dong Yue's lead, they arrived at a conference hall.

Wang Jianqiang sat in the main seat without the slightest bit of politeness.

He turned his head to look at Dong Yue.

"Yue'er, Junior Sister Ye has already told me about the Blood Spirit Sect."

"Where has the Blood Spirit Sect expanded to now? How far are they from the Gentleman Alliance?"

Dong Yue's expression turned serious upon hearing this.

A look of gravity appeared on her face, "In half a month at most, the Blood Spirit Sect will reach the territory of our Gentleman Alliance and come into direct conflict with us."

"Half a month?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "You immediately send word to the Zhengyang Sect and the Wan Jian Sect, and have them come to the Hehuan Sect to discuss matters."

Dong Yue nodded and sent people to deliver the message to the two sects.

Not long after.

The high-level members of the two sects arrived via the Transmission Array.

Leading them were the people with the highest status in the two sects today.

The old Sect Master of the Wan Jian Sect and the old Master of the Wan Jian Sect.

Upon seeing the group from the Wan Jian Sect, Liu Qing'er went up to greet them and began exchanging pleasantries with them.

On the side of the Zhengyang Sect.

Lin Lin followed beside the old Sect Master, and her eyes lit up immediately upon seeing Wang Jianqiang.

However, hindered by the crowd, she did not go up to greet Wang Jianqiang directly, but only sent a voice transmission to offer a few words of greeting.

A moment later.

Wang Jianqiang cleared his throat, "Everyone, there will be plenty of time for pleasantries later. Next, let us study how to deal with the Blood Spirit Sect."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words.

The crowd immediately quieted down.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze swept over everyone, "How much do you know about the Blood Spirit Sect? Do you know the background of this Blood Spirit Sect?"

After Wang Jianqiang's voice fell.

Lin Lin looked at Wang Jianqiang and said with a serious expression, "My Zhengyang Sect has been responsible for investigating the Blood Spirit Sect."

"According to our investigation..."

"The Blood Spirit Sect appeared extremely abruptly, as if they appeared out of thin air, without the slightest sign beforehand."

"There have never been any Cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Stage in the Northern Territory."

"Therefore, the Blood Spirit Sect must be an outside force."

"However, there are many Cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Stage in the Blood Spirit Sect, and their sect master is even a Cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection level. With such strength, even looking at the entire Tianhuo Domain, they are by no means a small force."

"But after our repeated investigations, we discovered that before the Blood Spirit Sect appeared in the Northern Territory, this force did not seem to have existed anywhere in the entire Tianhuo Domain."

"It is as if this Blood Spirit Sect suddenly popped up specifically to slaughter the living beings of the Northern Territory!"

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

If it were truly as Lin Lin said, the appearance of the Blood Spirit Sect was indeed too strange.

Just at this moment, Lin Lin's voice came again, "In just five years, the Blood Spirit Sect has already wiped out most of the living beings in the Northern Territory."

"The number of Cultivators and mortals who died at their hands adds up to over ten billion!"

"And this is only humans; it does not include the spirit beasts..."

"Although they practice blood-based Techniques and need fresh blood to cultivate."

"But I have never heard of any blood-based Technique that requires such a staggering amount of blood in such a short time."

"Therefore, I speculate."

"They collect the blood of living beings, surely not just for cultivation, and perhaps, this so-called cultivation..."

"Is also just a cover."

Wang Jianqiang nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

"Then in the Blood Spirit Sect, besides the Blood Spirit Sect Master being at the Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection, are there any other experts?"

"Are there any existences stronger than the Blood Spirit Sect Master?"

Lin Lin shook her head, "According to current investigations, the Blood Spirit Sect Master is the only Cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection level in the Blood Spirit Sect."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

However, the caution in his heart did not dissipate.

There is still quite a large gap between Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection and Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection.

Just like him, when facing those peers who have not yet manifested their will, he can completely smash a whole group to death with one punch.

Or like Jiang Shan, who can easily kill ordinary Cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection.

The specific combat power of the Blood Spirit Sect Master is still an unknown.

Although he has ten Cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection level around him, including Xiaoxiaobai, he still dares not be the least bit careless.

However, he still has Xiaobai.

Even if the opponent's combat power truly exceeds expectations, it is not as if there is no room for maneuver.

He did not have too many misgivings.
