Chapter 823: Killing Many Birds with One Stone

Watching Wan Guiyuan and the others depart.

The crowd looked on, their gazes flickering, their expressions varied.

Cold killing intent surged from many of them, yet none chose to strike rashly.

"This Wan Guiyuan has disrupted our Holy Land's plans and carries astonishing Fortune Power."

"Whether for public or private reasons, he cannot be allowed to return to the Beast Taming Sect alive."

Luo Ming stared fixedly at the figure gradually moving away in the distance, his expression icy.

"Rest assured, there are plenty of factions that don't want Wan Guiyuan to bring that Fortune Power back to the Beast Taming Sect; he is certain to die."

A Spirit Transformation Late Stage cultivator from Youyun Holy Land had a face as calm as water and sneered; pausing here, he continued, "Luo Ming, Jiuyou, now that Wan Guiyuan is drawing everyone's attention and no one is watching you, it is the perfect opportunity to return to the Holy Land."

"You all must return to the Holy Land quickly, bring the Fortune Power you carry back to the sect, and incidentally report the events here to the Sacred Lord; I will keep an eye on them from outside You City."

Hearing this cultivator's words, Luo Ming nodded.

With a gloomy expression, he glanced at Jiuyou, then looked at the other three Ninth-Order Will Stage prodigies of Youyun Holy Land, "Let's go."

Having said that, he flew into the air with the three of them and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Jiuyou's gaze was calm as she followed him into the air.

After Luo Ming and the others left, many figures flickered and flew off into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings became empty.

Yaoguang looked in the direction where Wang Jianqiang and the others had disappeared, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

Under normal circumstances, she would have wished for Wang Jianqiang to die sooner.

But now it was different.

Wang Jianqiang had already promised to teach her the method to surpass the Ninth-Order Will Level Limit, so no accidents could be allowed to happen.

However, the matters here had already exceeded the scope of what she could resolve.

She thought for a moment and shook her head.

Wang Jianqiang was treacherous and cunning; this little tribulation should not be able to stump him.

In the end, Yaoguang did not dwell on it further, deciding to return to the Sacred Palace first to integrate the Fortune Power into the Sacred Palace's mountain gates before coming back to find Wang Jianqiang.

"Yu'er, let's go."

Xuan Che looked at Kong Yu and sighed inwardly when he saw her staring blankly in the direction where Wan Guiyuan had disappeared.

The harm Wan Guiyuan had caused Yu'er was too deep; Yu'er spoke lightly, telling him not to seek revenge on Wan Guiyuan.

In reality, she was only worried about him.

In fact, Yu'er still hated Wan Guiyuan deeply in her heart.

Thinking of this, Xuan Che felt his heart ache for Kong Yu while he couldn't help but grit his teeth in secret.

That animal Wan Guiyuan.

He would definitely make him wish for death in the future!

While Xuan Che's thoughts were churning.

Hearing Xuan Che's words, Kong Yu suppressed the complexity deep in her eyes and nodded, somewhat absent-mindedly.

Seeing this, Xuan Che's heart ached even more.

……

After leaving the mountain peak where the Earth Vein Stele was located, Wang Jianqiang, Mu Lingxi, Wen Ya, and Long Er went straight to You City.

"Let's go to that same inn as before."

Wen Ya looked at Wan Guiyuan and Mu Lingxi.

Mu Lingxi shrugged, looking indifferent, and Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, "Whatever Senior Sister Wen Ya arranges is fine."

Hearing this, Wen Ya nodded.

Afterward, the four of them arrived at the familiar inn and opened three more guest rooms.

After arriving outside the guest rooms, Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi did not return to their own rooms, but instead, at Wen Ya's instruction, entered the room space belonging to her and Long Er.

The four of them arrived in a large hall and sat down.

Wen Ya looked at Wang Jianqiang, a grave expression appearing on her beautiful face, "Junior Brother Wan, you heard what Deacon Wu and I said earlier, and you must be able to guess some of it; your current situation is extremely dangerous."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Long before the Spirit Vein Battle began, he had already made preparations.

Since Fortune Power was of great use to the development of a faction, he would naturally be targeted after obtaining first place in the Spirit Ranking and carrying a large amount of Fortune Power.

After all, within a fixed region, resources were often limited.

No faction would be willing to see the Beast Taming Sect grow strong and then come to compete for their existing resources.

Seeing this, Wen Ya paused for a moment before continuing, "On our way back, we will inevitably encounter ambushes; normally, the ambushers will only be the younger generation of each sect."

"However, you carry too much Fortune Power; compared to the first place winners of other Spirit Ranking Battles, you have more than double the amount, even more than I had in the previous Spirit Ranking Battle."

"In other words, the Fortune Power you carry alone is worth the harvest of two first-place finishes."

"You must know that one of the main reasons for the rise of Youyun Holy Land was that they obtained first place in the Spirit Ranking three times in a row, integrated a massive amount of Fortune Power, and were favored by the Heaven and Earth Will of Youzhou."

"Because of the Fortune Power I obtained back then, the Beast Taming Sect has shown signs of surpassing the other Three Great Factions in the eastern region in recent years; if the Fortune Power you carry is added to that, it is highly likely to replicate the rise of Youyun Holy Land and dominate the eastern region."

"In Youzhou, no faction wants to see another Youyun Holy Land rise."

"Therefore, the ambushes you are about to face will certainly far exceed those faced by the first-place winner of any ordinary Spirit Ranking Battle."

"There might even be those who break the rules and use their seniority to bully the young."

"To prevent this potential danger, we need to stay here temporarily and wait for a response from the Beast Taming Sect's powerhouses; once the powerhouses in the sect learn the news that you obtained first place in the Spirit Ranking, they will certainly dispatch experts at the first opportunity to keep a close watch on those factions that might strike."

"Only then can we leave You City and return to the sect."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

It just so happened that he, Yaoguang, and Jiuyou had already agreed to meet in this You City.

In this way, it could be considered killing many birds with one stone.
