Chapter 742: Lining Up to be Gifted?

The Death Force that Mu Lingxi struck into Gou Dan's body was not particularly strong.

But after this Death Force entered Gou Dan's body, it used his vitality as fuel and rapidly expanded.

Because Gou Dan's defenses had just been broken, his internal Spiritual Power experienced a momentary turbulence and could not be mobilized, failing to contain the Death Force in time.

This caused the Death Force that had entered his body to spread wildly, filling every corner of Gou Dan's body in an instant.

His physical vitality dissipated in an instant.

Even his Nascent Soul did not have time to escape before it was enveloped by the Death Force, its consciousness wiped away in the blink of an eye.

Mu Lingxi waved her palm.

She dispelled the Death Force at the right moment, and only then was Gou Dan's Nascent Soul preserved and prevented from dissipating.

Afterward, she flicked her finger, and Gou Dan's body, having lost its vitality, instantly crumbled; a Nascent Soul that had lost its consciousness emerged, which she grabbed and flipped her hand to store inside her Space Ring.

Only then did she look toward Zhou Yun.

Sensing Mu Lingxi's gaze, Zhou Yun's expression tightened.

"Rest assured, I will not kill you."

Seeing Zhou Yun's nervous appearance, Mu Lingxi smiled lightly.

As she spoke, she moved closer to Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun's expression turned to shock; she wanted to stand up and retreat, but her injuries were too severe at this moment, making it impossible to do so.

She could only watch helplessly as Zilan walked up to her, and then...

Zilan extended her palm, pinched her cheek, and then traced downward...

Her complexion instantly turned bright red, and a look of humiliation appeared on her face.

Sensing Zhou Yun's expression, Mu Lingxi withdrew her hand at the right moment and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad, you will do."

Zhou Yun was stunned.

Do?

What will do?

Do what?

Why is this Zilan acting so strangely?

Upon arriving, she had killed a fellow sect member without a word, revealing a ruthless side.

Yet when facing her, an outsider, she had uncharacteristically shown patience and stated she would not kill her.

Just as Zhou Yun was filled with confusion, a flash of Spirit Light suddenly appeared before her.

When she came to her senses, she discovered that Zilan had already disappeared.

She was stunned once again.

Her mind could not process what had happened.

A moment later.

She regained her composure, and unable to figure it out, she stopped dwelling on it.

She was severely injured and needed to recover as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, if any accidents occurred midway, she would have no power to fight back.

She took out a Healing Pill, swallowed it, and began to refine it in silence.

"Senior Brother, it is resolved."

Several miles away from Zhou Yun, Mu Lingxi flashed into view.

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile.

Just then, Mu Lingxi added, "She is not bad."

Wang Jianqiang was somewhat confused, "What is not bad?"

Mu Lingxi cast a glance toward the figure sitting cross-legged in the distance healing, "Of course it is her; I just tested it, she is quite good."

Wang Jianqiang immediately thought of the action Mu Lingxi had taken before leaving.

He was speechless for a moment.

"Can you be more serious? How did our dignified Hehuan Sect produce a demoness like you?"

Mu Lingxi:...

Afterward, the two did not leave immediately but stayed in the area for another half day, secretly keeping an eye on Zhou Yun.

Seeing that Zhou Yun's injuries had recovered by more than half, they finally left with peace of mind.

The two did not head directly to the core of the seventh-level space to proceed to the eighth-level space.

Instead, they continued to search within the seventh-level space.

Their luck was exceptionally poor.

They searched for a full half-month in this seventh-level space and only managed to find a few pill beasts.

And they were all Sixth-tier.

Fortunately, they encountered over a dozen Cultivators from the Four Great Powers during this time, and after robbing them, the harvest was actually quite decent.

When robbing these people, Wang Jianqiang did not show himself, instead letting Mu Lingxi, disguised as Zilan, do the work.

Moreover, he specifically instructed Mu Lingxi not to kill these people.

Those who entered the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm were the top geniuses of the Four Great Powers; losing a small portion might not matter.

If they were all slaughtered, it would become a major incident.

If that were to draw out the top-tier old monsters from the Four Great Powers to drag him out, then the fun would really be over.

On this day.

After robbing another person, Wang Jianqiang looked at Mu Lingxi, "The Cultivators in the seventh-layer space have almost all been looted by us; there isn't much left to gain by staying, let's go to the eighth-layer space."

Afterwards, the two hurried all the way toward the Core Land of the seventh-layer space.

The eighth floor of the Pill Tower, where the spatial entrance is located.

Dozens of figures were divided into three teams, gathering around the spatial entrance and surrounding it tightly.

At a certain moment.

At the spatial entrance, a ripple of spatial fluctuation spread out.

Everyone sensed this fluctuation and looked toward the teleportation portal in unison.

The next moment.

Two figures, one male and one female, appeared in everyone's line of sight.

Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi had just stepped out of the teleportation portal when they sensed the numerous gazes, and immediately saw the dozens of figures all around.

They were stunned for a moment.

Following that, a sparkling glint flashed in Mu Lingxi's eyes.

She secretly poked Wang Jianqiang's waist with her finger, and her voice of pleasant surprise reached Wang Jianqiang's mind.

"Senior Brother, so many fat sheep."

"I didn't expect the Cultivators from the Four Great Powers in this eighth-layer space to be so sensible; they've actually lined up and are waiting for us to harvest them."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's telepathic message, Wang Jianqiang couldn't help but smile.

Just at this moment.

The people all around had already gathered closer.

Wang Jianqiang looked over calmly, then raised an eyebrow.

Among these people.

There were members from the Jade Cauldron Sect, the Sacred Palace, and Tianlang Hall, but the Cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect were missing.

"Interesting, the Beast Taming Sect seems to have been ostracized, or perhaps..."

"The goal of this alliance between the three parties is to deal with the Beast Taming Sect!"

Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred as he secretly guessed.

"Junior Sister Zilan?"

In the team belonging to the Jade Cauldron Sect, a youth in blue narrowed his eyes after seeing Mu Lingxi and Wang Jianqiang.

"This servant that Senior Brother Xuan Che put a bounty on was actually caught by you, Junior Sister Zilan; tsk tsk, Junior Sister Zilan's luck is certainly sufficient."

Hearing the blue-clothed youth's words, Mu Lingxi looked at Wang Jianqiang, a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Wang Jianqiang gave a secret smile and used a telepathic message to briefly explain to Mu Lingxi how he had offended the three people including Kong Yu, and how Xuan Che had targeted him in the Ancient Palace after entering the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm.

Just as Wang Jianqiang was sending the telepathic message to Mu Lingxi.

Everyone's gazes had already fallen upon Wang Jianqiang.

They all revealed expressions of gloating.

This little Cultivator at the Qi Refining stage actually dared to leave the Ancient Palace after offending Xuan Che.

To put it nicely, this is called bold; to put it bluntly, this is stupid.

Seeing that after his words fell, Zilan did not respond but instead revealed a thoughtful expression, the blue-clothed youth smiled indifferently, "Junior Sister Zilan is as guarded as ever; although the relationship between us is a bit tense, with so many fellow sect members and Daoist Friends here, could I, your Senior Brother, really steal your credit?"

After his words fell, he still did not receive a response from Zilan; he looked at Zilan and discovered that Zilan's expression was pensive, and her focus was not on him at all.

It seemed she had not cared about his words from beginning to end, and his complexion immediately turned ugly.
