Chapter 842: Breaking Up the Lovebirds

Hearing the two's response, the look of excitement on Wen Tiansheng's face, which had originally been somewhat suppressed, could no longer be contained.

Originally, he had intended to immediately launch sanctions against the Xuanfeng Sect, but now it seemed this action would have to be delayed slightly.

The Ancestor is the Beast Taming Sect's greatest source of confidence.

Previously, Wan Guiyuan had captured first place in the Spirit Ranking, triggering murderous intent from almost all the top powers in Youzhou.

The reason the Beast Taming Sect's warnings were able to make these numerous powers wary.

The Beast Taming Sect's own strength only accounted for a small part; the vast majority of the reason was the existence of the Ancestor, which made those powers wary and afraid to act rashly.

Once the Ancestor breaks through, the overall strength of the Beast Taming Sect will surely rise to another level; currently, there is nothing more important than the Ancestor's breakthrough.

Wen Tiansheng pondered for a moment and continued to the two, "The two of you, the matter of the Ancestor's breakthrough is of great importance and must absolutely not be discovered or disrupted by outsiders."

"The Ancestor's breakthrough has only just begun, and the commotion is not yet large, but the subsequent commotion will grow increasingly greater; I must trouble the two of you to suppress it here."

"You must not let the commotion of the Ancestor's breakthrough spread out."

"Rest assured, Sect Master."

The two nodded.

……

With first place in the Spirit Ranking in hand, the plan of Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi had been completed.

Now, they only needed to patiently wait for the Outside the Realm to attack the Outer Realm Battlefield, and then act according to circumstances.

However, at the same time, the price paid was not small.

Because of this Spirit Ranking Battle, Wang Jianqiang could be considered to have completely entered the field of vision of the top tier of powerhouses in Youzhou.

He had even received the attention of the highest levels of the Beast Taming Sect.

Fortunately, because he had the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map to suppress his own aura, there was no need to worry.

But Mu Lingxi was different; once a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator could inspect her, they would surely see through her identity.

In order to avoid being noticed by these top big shots as much as possible, Mu Lingxi had to temporarily keep her distance from him.

Therefore.

Mu Lingxi did not come to Wan Guiyuan's residence with him, but instead returned to Lu Xiu's residence and entered a state of closed-door cultivation.

After returning to Wan Guiyuan's residence, Wang Jianqiang also entered closed-door cultivation to prevent any big shots secretly watching from catching a slip-up.

One month later.

Wang Jianqiang received a message.

The message came from Wen Ya.

After hearing the message, his expression shifted; he left his residence and flew toward the peak at the very center of the Beast Taming Sect.

Following the guidance in Wen Ya's message, he arrived at a bustling grand hall.

In the spacious grand hall, Wen Tiansheng was sitting on the only chair.

Standing beside him was a figure.

It was precisely that Void Refinement Stage Elder who had secretly protected them when they left You City to return to the Beast Taming Sect.

In front of Wen Tiansheng, two beautiful figures stood quietly.

Wen Ya's posture was straight, and the expression on her face was as cold as ever.

Long Er, however, was somewhat slouchy, standing in a rather casual posture.

By now, both of their cultivations had broken through to the Spirit Severing Mid Stage.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang walk into the hall, Long Er's eyes lit up, "Daoist Friend Wan."

Saying this, she was about to go up to meet him.

"Ahem~"

Just at this moment, a dry cough suddenly came from Wen Tiansheng's mouth.

Long Er's footsteps paused; she looked back at Wen Tiansheng, muttered something under her breath, and pulled back the step she had already taken.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred; he arrived at a position shoulder-to-shoulder with Wen Ya and Long Er and bowed respectfully to Wen Tiansheng, "Greetings, Sect Master."

"Mm, dispense with the formalities."

Wen Tiansheng nodded.

Wang Jianqiang stood up, looked at Wen Ya and Long Er again, and smiled, "Ya'er, Long Er, congratulations on your cultivation breakthroughs."

"This is all thanks to the Fortune Power that Junior Brother Wan brought back."

Wen Ya's long hair, crystal clear like crystal, draped down like a waterfall, and a warm smile bloomed on her pretty face.

Although Long Er did not speak, she also wore a smile on her face.

Seeing this scene, Wen Tiansheng's brow twitched.

He coughed dryly.

He interrupted the interaction between the three.

Then, his gaze landed on Wang Jianqiang, and he said calmly, "Wan Guiyuan, I heard... that you and Wen Ya have an agreement?"

Hearing Wen Tiansheng suddenly mention this, Wang Jianqiang's gaze flickered, and a guess flashed through his mind.

He nodded calmly, "There is indeed such a thing; I wonder why the Sect Master suddenly mentions this?"

Wen Tiansheng smiled and shook his head, "It's fine for you juniors to joke around with each other, but as for that so-called agreement, don't take it seriously."

"Sect Master, I have already said that I want to make my own decisions regarding my own affairs."

Just as Wen Tiansheng finished speaking, Wen Ya suddenly spoke up with some resentment.

Wen Tiansheng looked at Wen Ya's cold face and frowned, "Wen Ya, don't be unruly."

"What do you mean by unruly?"

Long Er hummed with dissatisfaction, "Is it called being unruly to make one's own decisions about one's own affairs?"

"What kind of logic is this?"

Wen Tiansheng's face darkened, "Long Er, do you want to be grounded again?"

Long Er curled her lips, not showing any weakness, "Hmph, Uncle Gui said that if you ground me again, I should tell him; he'll come to avenge me and make you pay."

The corner of Wen Tiansheng's mouth twitched.

Just then, Wen Ya spoke up again, "Sect Master, I have already explained to you that I wish to become a Dao Companion with Junior Brother Wan, not only because of the agreement, but also because Junior Brother Wan has extraordinary talent, noble character, and a steady, magnanimous personality; he is someone worthy of trust."

"As for the cultivation issues you are worried about, rest assured, we will supervise each other and it will not affect our cultivation."

Hearing Wen Ya's description of Wan Guiyuan, the corner of Wen Tiansheng's mouth twitched.

Extraordinary talent?

Let's set that point aside for now.

Where on earth did she see noble character and a steady, magnanimous personality?

Although he hadn't paid special attention to this kid before, just from their first meeting, he had discovered that this kid was extremely slippery and was definitely a shameless, despicable, and vile character.

Was Wen Ya's misunderstanding of this kid a bit too deep?

He shook his head with a sullen face, "I am the Sect Master, and I have the final say in the Beast Taming Sect; the matter of you becoming a Dao Companion with Wan Guiyuan is out of the question."

Wen Ya was silent for a moment, then said indifferently, "Sect Master, what if I insist on becoming a Dao Companion with Wan Guiyuan?"

"Then I will cripple Wan Guiyuan with my own hands!" Wen Tiansheng said indifferently.

Wang Jianqiang remained calm on the surface, but his heart was pounding wildly.

Damn it.

This Wen Tiansheng is truly a piece of work; I brought back a massive amount of Fortune Power for the Beast Taming Sect, so I should at least be considered a meritorious contributor, right?

How much time has even passed?

Never mind that the rewards haven't been issued yet, he's actually talking about crippling me right to my face.

This is simply burning bridges after crossing the river!

Long Er's little face was flushed with anger; she stood with one hand on her hip, pointing at Wen Tiansheng with the other, her face full of indignation.

"Wen Tiansheng, you've gone too far! If you dare to touch Daoist Friend Wan, I'll have Uncle Gui hang you up and beat you."
