Chapter 824: The Younger Generation of Youzhou

"Senior Sister Wen Ya, how do the various forces in our Youzhou define the younger generation?"

After Wen Ya's voice fell, Mu Lingxi suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Wen Ya smiled; she did not find Mu Lingxi's inquiry strange.

In Youzhou, the concept of the younger generation only applies during the period of the Spirit Ranking Battle.

It is normal to not know how the younger generation is defined if one has not paid attention to the Spirit Ranking Battle before.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Cultivators under three hundred years old can all be called the younger generation."

"Being that old counts as young?" Mu Lingxi stuck out her tongue.

Wen Ya smiled, "So-called youth is only relative. For mortals, forty or fifty is no longer considered young, but for Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Stage cultivators, thirty or fifty is merely the beginning stage of their lifespan."

"By the same token, the Spirit Ranking Battle is a grand event for the entire Youzhou, and the standard for the so-called younger generation is also set by the higher-ups of those top-tier forces."

"Three hundred years sounds very old, but compared to those powerful beings at the Void Refinement Stage and Great Vehicle Stage, it can indeed only be considered young—as young as it gets."

Hearing this, Mu Lingxi nodded, "That's true."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, then looked at Wen Ya, his expression becoming a bit more solemn, "Since that is the case, even if it is just an attack by the younger generation, I fear it is extremely dangerous for us."

Because of the cultivation restrictions of the Spirit Ranking Battle.

The Top-tier Prodigies from various forces participating in the Spirit Ranking Battle are merely the strongest batch below the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Many forces' Top-tier Prodigies have actually already broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Just like Wen Ya.

Therefore, although he won first place in the Spirit Ranking Battle, it does not mean he is the strongest Top-tier Prodigy of this Youzhou younger generation.

It only proves he is the number one person in Youzhou below the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Wen Ya's expression also became a bit more solemn, and she nodded lightly.

Although she was very confident in her own talent, her age was limited after all; she was only less than two hundred years old.

Some prodigies might have slightly inferior talent to her, but they had cultivated for nearly a hundred years longer and had stronger cultivation.

She dared not say she would definitely be able to win.

But she had confidence that such existences were few.

And even if she encountered one, she had the confidence to bring Wan Guiyuan away safely.

Thinking of this, her expression became relaxed again, and she smiled at Wang Jianqiang, "There is definitely risk, but Junior Brother Wan, do not worry too much. With me here, I will definitely send you back to the sect safely."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang laughed, "Then many thanks, Senior Sister Wen Ya. When the time comes, this Junior Brother will certainly be deeply grateful; even if Senior Sister asked me to offer myself in marriage, I would definitely not have the slightest hesitation."

Wen Ya's pretty face turned red instantly, "Junior Brother Wan, what nonsense are you spouting? If you are so rude again, I will be angry."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled.

"Tch, didn't you say you would offer yourself in marriage once Daoist Friend Wan could help you with your cultivation? The promise has already been made, so what are you shy about?" Long Er curled her lips.

Hearing Long Er's snide remark, Wen Ya was very embarrassed, "Long Er, what are you saying, you dead girl? We are discussing serious matters now."

Wang Jianqiang cast an appreciative look at Long Er.

Long Er smiled at Wang Jianqiang, revealing a row of clean, neat, and exquisite teeth.

After a good while.

Wen Ya finally recovered from her shyness; not daring to look into Wang Jianqiang's eyes, she instructed with a somewhat evasive gaze, "Junior Brother Wan, the sect's arrangements should take several months. During this coming period, you must not walk around the city."

"Taking this inn as the center, the area within five miles spreading outward is the exclusive territory of our Beast Taming Sect. There is an Array guarding this area, and people from other forces dare not come into this area to act recklessly; it is absolutely safe."

"Once you leave this area, you may encounter danger at any time. Remember, do not leave this area."

"Many thanks for the reminder, Senior Sister Wen Ya. Senior Sister Wen Ya is truly kind."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded.

"We are all from the same sect; this is what I should do." Hearing this, Wen Ya shook her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Afterward, she took out a Jade Talisman and handed it to Wang Jianqiang, "Junior Brother Wan, this command talisman can simply control the Beast Taming Sect's Array within You City. With this talisman, you can utilize a portion of the Array's power."

"If anyone acts against you, with the help of the Array here, you can easily kill anyone below the Integration Stage."

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the Jade Talisman, "Many thanks, Senior Sister Wen Ya. Senior Sister Wen Ya is so thoughtful."

Hearing this, the red that had just faded from Wen Ya's pretty face climbed back onto her cheeks, and she did not know how to respond.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled and did not continue to tease her, "Senior Sister Wen Ya, next, Junior Sister Mu and I will not disturb you anymore."

Hearing this, Wen Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She nodded lightly and opened a Space Channel.

"Sister Wen Ya, I will go see off Daoist Friend Wan and the others."

Just as Wen Ya opened the Space Channel, before Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi had left, Long Er suddenly volunteered.

Wen Ya was startled and did not think much of it.

Long Er and Wan Guiyuan seemed to get along very well; since she wanted to see them off, then let her see them off.

Seeing this, Long Er spoke again, "By the way, Sister Wen Ya, after I see off Daoist Friend Wan and the others, I won't be coming back for a while."

"Now that we are in a dangerous situation, intelligence is very important. I am going outside to scout around."

Wang Jianqiang revealed an admiring look, "Fairy Long Er is truly both beautiful and capable."

Mu Lingxi nodded, "Mm-hmm, indeed, Fairy Long Er is too capable."

Long Er's pretty face turned red.

Wen Ya did not suspect anything and nodded, "Go ahead, but you must not leave this area of our Beast Taming Sect, do you understand?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Come back as early as possible; don't be like before, playing wildly every time you go out and ending up so exhausted." As if afraid Long Er would be playful, Wen Ya instructed again, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Long Er could not help but secretly look at Wang Jianqiang, and she nodded with a red face.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Long Er in surprise.

Playing wildly?

I never expected that although Long Er possesses the noble Divine Dragon Bloodline and has such a haughty temperament, deep down she has the disposition of a child.

Sensing Wang Jianqiang's gaze, Long Er's face turned even redder.

She did not explain, but nodded at Wen Ya and promised, "Mm-hmm, Sister Wen Ya, I will be back in four or five days at most."

Hearing Wen Ya's confident tone, Wang Jianqiang's eyes flashed, and he gave a dry cough, saying, "Not necessarily four or five days; perhaps it might take seven or eight days, who knows."
