Chapter 825: Surging Winds and Clouds

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Long Er lowered her head.

Staring at her own toes again and again, the shyness on her face could hardly be concealed.

Wen Ya was startled, "How does Junior Brother Wan know?"

Immediately following this, she seemed to have thought of something, and said with a serious expression, "Does Junior Brother Wan intend to investigate the situation in the city together with Long Er?"

As she spoke, she shook her head, "Although this area of our Beast Taming Sect is still considered safe, your situation is special after all, so it is better to avoid going out if you can."

Wang Jianqiang coughed dryly and smiled, "Senior Sister Wen Ya, you have misunderstood. I just feel that since Fairy Long Er is rather playful, it would be better to give her a few more days, so as to avoid her not being able to return within the time limit and making you worry for her."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Long Er secretly glanced at Wang Jianqiang, and her gaze quickly turned back to her toes.

The shyness on her face deepened by a few degrees.

Wen Ya looked at Long Er and noticed the shyness on Long Er's face.

However, she did not think much of it, only assuming that Long Er felt shy because her playful nature had been discovered by Wan Guiyuan.

What investigation?

This girl really just wanted to go out and play.

She glared at Long Er, "Fine, if you want to go out and play, then go. You can return whenever you like, but remember, absolutely do not leave the Beast Taming Sect's exclusive area."

Long Er was overjoyed and hurriedly looked up at Wen Ya, her large eyes filled with delight, "Understood."

Afterwards, she and Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi stepped into the space entrance together.

The next moment.

The three of them appeared outside the guest room.

After the space entrance dissipated, Wang Jianqiang chuckled and reached out to wrap his arm around Long Er's slender waist.

Long Er was startled, "Daoist Friend Wan, be careful of being seen by Sister Wen Ya."

"The space channel has already closed, what is there to fear?" Wang Jianqiang said nonchalantly, then looked at Mu Lingxi.

"Junior Sister Lu, let's go."

After speaking, he arrived in front of his own guest room door, opened a space channel, and entered the guest room space.

Fifteen days later.

In Wang Jianqiang's guest room space.

Wang Jianqiang was lying on a chair, looking completely at ease, while Mu Lingxi knelt to the side, massaging his legs.

Long Er stood behind him, gently pounding his shoulders with a tender expression.

"Daoist Friend Wan, is the pressure alright?"

After pounding a few times, she stopped and asked Wang Jianqiang with a nervous expression.

"Just right. Long Er learns really fast, you are truly clever."

Wang Jianqiang smiled in appreciation. Upon hearing this, Long Er immediately revealed a happy smile and began pounding even more diligently.

To the side, Mu Lingxi was full of emotion, "Long Er is not only clever but also very hardworking. In such a short time, she has already repaid her debt twice more. If this continues, it won't take long before she can pay it off completely."

"By then, she can focus on cultivation and won't need to come find Senior Brother Wan anymore."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded.

After hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Long Er smiled on the surface.

But for some reason, she couldn't feel happy in her heart, and she pounded Wang Jianqiang's back in low spirits.

Not long after, Long Er stopped pounding Wang Jianqiang's back and said, "Daoist Friend Wan, I must head back first. Although Sister Wen Ya said I could play outside for as long as I wanted, I know that if I don't return for a long time, she will worry."

"Moreover, with You City full of dangers now, there are some preparations she still needs to make with me."

"I will come find you again in a few days."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, "That is only right. Long Er is truly sensible."

As he spoke, he waved his palm, and a space channel appeared.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's praise, Long Er's pretty face flushed, and she whispered, "Then Long Er will take her leave now."

After speaking, she stepped into the space channel and disappeared.

Because the Fortune Power on Wang Jianqiang was so astonishing, it caused almost everyone's gaze to be focused on him.

Even the second-ranked on the Spirit Ranking, Jiuyou, and the third-ranked, Xuan Che, were eclipsed in comparison.

This also caused the danger for other Spirit Ranking Cultivators returning to their sects to be significantly reduced, aside from Wang Jianqiang.

Half a month after the Spirit Ranking Battle ended.

Whether it was Jiuyou, Xuan Che, or the seventh-ranked Yaoguang, all had returned safely and smoothly to their respective sects.

As the various cultivators who had participated in and watched the battle returned.

The news that the Beast Taming Sect Core Disciple Wan Guiyuan had taken first place in the Spirit Ranking with a Seventh-Order Will Stage cultivation, and that his Fortune Golden Dragon was fifty-eight thousand zhang long, spread completely.

Like a pebble thrown into a boiling pot of oil, it instantly caused the previously calm and waveless major powers of Youzhou to explode into chaos.

At the same time.

Deacon Wu also brought the news of Wan Guiyuan taking first place in the Spirit Ranking back to the Beast Taming Sect.

That day.

The Beast Taming Sect Master came out of seclusion.

Half a day later, the only two Supreme Elders of the Beast Taming Sect, accompanied by half of the sect's powerhouses, left the sect in a grand procession.

At the same time.

A message was sent out from within the Beast Taming Sect, rapidly sweeping through the major top-tier powers of Youzhou.

"During the Spirit Ranking Battle, no power shall bully the weak with their strength; this rule cannot be broken."

"If the various sects dispatch the younger generation to target Wan Guiyuan and kill him, the Beast Taming Sect will have nothing to say, but if they use their seniority to bully the young..."

"The Beast Taming Sect will surely exhaust everything to pay them back in their own coin."

"When that time comes, every single participant will be hunted, and we will exhaust every possible means to slaughter the younger generation within their sects."

After the major powers of Youzhou received this near-declaration of war from the Beast Taming Sect, they all reined in their unruly intentions.

However.

Although the various powers dared not make small moves, they did not give up the idea of killing Wan Guiyuan to prevent him from bringing the Fortune Power back to his sect.

Consequently, the top powerhouses of the younger generation within the major sects all departed their sects.

Their goal was only...

To kill Wan Guiyuan!
