Chapter 722: Crossing the Sea of Sand

"Release your Soul defenses."

Just as Kong Yu was secretly feeling ruthless in her heart, a voice reached her ears.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Wang Jianqiang with a face full of vigilance, "Why must I release my Soul defenses?"

Wang Jianqiang curled his lips, "Of course it is to brand a Soul Imprint, what else would it be for?"

"You didn't think that just by verbally agreeing to be Wang's handmaiden, Wang would completely trust you, did you?"

Kong Yu's expression froze.

She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but thinking of the other party's ruthlessness, she closed her mouth again.

Given this brute's style of conduct.

If she were to refuse, the other party would certainly deal her a fatal blow.

For the sake of her future path of cultivation, for the sake of Brother Xuan Che...

Endure it!

She gritted her silver teeth and released her Soul defenses.

After sensing that her Soul defenses were released, Wang Jianqiang condensed a wisp of Spirit Sense and entered her Soul Sea.

Just as he was about to condense a Soul Seed to brand her, he suddenly changed his mind.

After all, he only had Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation now; although his Soul strength was far more powerful than Cultivators of the same level, it was still far from being comparable to a Sixth-Order Will-Level Cultivator.

The Soul Seed method was only the simplest and crudest method of control.

If he were to use only this method to control the other party.

It might not be secure.

It would be better to switch to the Basic Beast Taming Art.

Although the Basic Beast Taming Art was crude and had a relatively low upper limit, it could only control demonic beasts below the Spirit Transformation Stage at most.

But its advantage lay in its stability.

Theoretically speaking, demonic beasts below the Spirit Transformation Stage could not break free.

Since this method worked on demonic beasts, he figured it should be about the same when used on a Cultivator.

Thinking of this.

He directly condensed a mark according to the Basic Beast Taming Art, and then branded the mark into Kong Yu's Soul Origin.

After being branded by the Basic Beast Taming Art mark.

Kong Yu's body trembled, and she immediately revealed a look of horror, "What you used is not a Soul-controlling technique, what have you done to me!"

Wang Jianqiang coughed dryly, "Fairy, there is no need to make a fuss; Wang just suddenly remembered that he had not practiced a suitable Soul-controlling technique, so he used the Beast Taming Art to temporarily substitute for it."

Beast~ Beast Taming Art???

Kong Yu widened her eyes.

No wonder she felt something was so wrong; this bastard actually used the Beast Taming Art to control her!

Using the Beast Taming Art to control a person?

Is this something a human could possibly do???

Kong Yu nearly crushed her silver teeth; although she wanted very much to kill the person before her.

But in order to survive, she still endured it.

Afterwards, she learned Wang Jianqiang's name... Wang Daniu.

Then after that.

She followed Wang Daniu and snuck off in one direction.

After arriving at the place where she had parted with Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun and the sand fish had all disappeared, and even their aura had vanished under the scouring of the sand flow.

Wang Jianqiang activated his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze and scanned the surroundings.

He still did not see the figure of Zhou Yun.

He shook his head.

He had no intention of continuing to search for Zhou Yun.

In this vast Sea of Sand, the difficulty of finding a person was extremely high, and he still had to find Medicinal Herbs for Xiaobai and Mu Lingxi; having Zhou Yun by his side was, after all, not very convenient.

Beside Wang Jianqiang, Kong Yu felt that she could no longer hold on.

Her physical body had been severely damaged by the Dang Kong Power and was already on the verge of collapse.

Afterwards, she had been brought to this place by Wang Daniu without any time to heal her wounds.

She had reached her limit.

She felt that at most in a moment, if she could not immediately begin healing.

Her physical body would inevitably collapse completely.

Fortunately, just at this moment.

Wang Daniu seemed to have had a change of heart and did not rush to leave.

Instead, he used his own power to help her prop up a layer of defense, blocking the surrounding quicksand.

"Your injuries are not light; heal your wounds first."

Hearing Wang Daniu's words, Kong Yu let out a long sigh of relief and hurriedly sat cross-legged.

She took out a Healing Pill and swallowed it.

She closed her eyes and began to recover.

Half an hour later.

Although her injuries had not fully healed, the cracks on her body had completely disappeared, and her strength had recovered to about seventy percent.

"You've recovered just about enough, right?"

Just at this moment, the voice of Wang Daniu reached her ears.

Kong Yu nodded, stood up, and said indifferently, "Alright, we can go."

As she spoke, she was about to step out of the protective barrier Wang Jianqiang had set up.

Just at this moment.

Wang Jianqiang suddenly grabbed her shoulder.

Kong Yu's expression changed, and she subconsciously tried to break free, but Wang Jianqiang's palm was like a steel hoop, firmly gripping her shoulder without loosening even a fraction.

Kong Yu looked at Wang Jianqiang with some shock and anger, "What do you want to do?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "You guessed right."

Five days later.

Wang Jianqiang and Kong Yu snuck downward into the Sea of Sand.

Kong Yu followed behind Wang Jianqiang, looking at his back, her expression revealing both shame, anger, and fear.

Suddenly, Wang Jianqiang stopped.

Because she was distracted, Kong Yu could not react in time and crashed directly into Wang Jianqiang.

The next moment.

She separated from Wang Jianqiang with the speed of a catapult, and an angry voice blurted out.

"Why didn't you say anything before you..."

She had only said half of her sentence when she suddenly realized what was happening, and her voice came to an abrupt halt.

Wang Jianqiang turned his head and gave her a smiling look.

Kong Yu shivered and hurriedly said, "Master, I was wrong."

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang nodded with satisfaction, "It seems the previous special training was not in vain; you finally understand some rules."

Kong Yu seemed to have thought of something; her face turned bright red instantly, and she lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and pointed ahead, "This is the battlefield you mentioned before, right?"

Kong Yu nodded, "That's right, this is where Brother Xuan Che, Yuan Xiuya, and the others fought."

Wang Jianqiang looked at that empty direction again and nodded.

It seemed everyone had already left.

He and Kong Yu should be the very last ones.

"Let's go."

He beckoned to Kong Yu and snuck further down into the Sea of Sand.

After sneaking at full speed for a day.

The two finally left the Sea of Sand and arrived in a vast world.

Wang Jianqiang landed on the ground and looked up.

They had clearly emerged from the sky, but when he looked, there was no scene of yellow sand filling the air.

Instead, it was a clear blue sky and bright sun.

He raised an eyebrow and activated his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.

Only then did he discover a Space Channel several zhang in diameter in the sky.

Immediately, his expression shifted as he understood.

The Sea of Sand had boundaries, and the boundaries were permeated with teleportation power.

Once the boundary was touched, one would be teleported out of the Sea of Sand by the teleportation power, following the Space Channel to this world.

It was just unclear whether there was only one such channel or many.

Although he had already read the Jade Slip about the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm that Zhou Yun had given him.

The Jade Slip only recorded the general layout of the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm.

There were very few details.

Just like this exit from the Sea of Sand, there was not the slightest record of it.

He looked at Kong Yu and asked, "How many exits are there from the Sea of Sand?"

Although Kong Yu was only an Inner Sect Disciple of the Jade Cauldron Sect, because she was a Monster with special status, her position was even above some Core Disciples.

She should know more information.

Sure enough, upon hearing his inquiry, Kong Yu revealed a thoughtful look.

A moment later, she looked at Wang Jianqiang and said, "There are a total of 108 exits from the Sea of Sand; everyone will be randomly teleported out through one of the Sea of Sand exits after passing through the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm."

Random?

A look of doubt appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face, "Then why weren't the two of us separated? Could it be because of good luck?"

Kong Yu looked at her own palm, a blush appearing on her face, "Because the teleportation power of the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm is relatively general and does not deliberately distinguish the number of people; you were holding my hand the whole time, so the teleportation power treated the two of us as a single entity."
