Chapter 873: No One Is Getting Away

Damn it!

This old bastard is too shameless, isn't he?

He clearly said he would help cover for him.

Fortunately, he had made preparations.

He looked at Luo Ling, who had reached the brink of exploding, "Sacred Lord, please wait. Everything I have done since arriving at Youyun Holy Land was instigated by that old thief, Wen Tiansheng."

"If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this."

After speaking, Wang Jianqiang waved his palm.

An Image Recording Stone appeared before him, and scenes flashed past.

"Guiyuan, remember, we aren't here to attend the ceremony this time, but to stir up trouble..."

"After all, I and the several Elders are the leaders of the Beast Taming Sect; every move we make represents the will of the sect, so we cannot go too far... But you are different. You are a junior, so no matter what you do, it cannot be taken seriously..."

"Don't fear that the trouble you stir up is too big; fear only that your ability to stir up trouble isn't enough."

After the Image Recording Stone finished playing, Wang Jianqiang took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and released the voice stored within it.

"You brat, just put your heart at ease. Go ahead and cause trouble; I will shield you from everything."

"If you ruin Luo Ling's Dao Companion, I will take the fall for you."

This recording was the result of a sound transmission Wen Tiansheng had sent him, which he had slightly edited.

Wen Tiansheng's original words were, "Even if you ruin Luo Ling's Dao Companion, I can still take the fall for you."

He had deleted a few characters.

But the meaning within had undergone a world-shaking change.

Every character in this statement came from Wen Tiansheng's own mouth, not a single word added, and it contained Wen Tiansheng's aura.

Even Wen Tiansheng himself could not find the flaw.

After listening to it, he was dumbfounded.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang, speechless for a moment, "You brat, are you setting me up?"

Wang Jianqiang rolled his eyes, "You were the one who set me up first, you old bastard!"

"You little turtle egg."

"You old turtle bastard."

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the crowd, the two of them, without the slightest regard for their image, started arguing directly.

The next moment.

Wen Tiansheng erupted with power, wrapped Wang Jianqiang up, and prepared to slip away.

At the same time.

Several Elders of the Beast Taming Sect seemed to have already guessed Wen Tiansheng's intentions and used their power to bundle up Yuan Xiuya and the others.

Just as they were about to flee.

A figure flashed in the rear.

Luo Ling's figure appeared, blocking their retreat, and he looked at Wen Tiansheng with a face full of mockery, "Wen Tiansheng, did you really think I didn't know what you were planning?"

"Today, not a single person from your Beast Taming Sect will escape, I said it!"

"As long as they are from the Beast Taming Sect, they must die!"

As soon as the words fell, his figure suddenly vanished.

Before Wen Tiansheng could react, Xuan Ji, who was more familiar with Luo Ling, had already moved.

The moment Luo Ling vanished, her expression instantly tightened, and her figure disappeared as well.

Wang Jianqiang only felt a faint fragrance pass by his nose, and immediately after, he discovered his body was enveloped by an invisible force.

A sensation like the shifting of stars emerged, and in an instant, she whisked him far away from the spot.

The moment Wang Jianqiang's figure vanished, a figure abruptly appeared where he had been standing before.

Luo Ling missed, his brow furrowing.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang, who had already escaped, and Xuan Ji beside Wang Jianqiang, his face turning livid.

Then, he glared fiercely at Wen Tiansheng.

It was this bastard.

If not for his instigation, how could that piece of trash Wan Guiyuan have seduced Xuan Ji?

Without Wan Guiyuan's seduction, how could Xuan Ji have betrayed him?

The more Luo Ling thought about it, the angrier he became.

His aura erupted, and he abandoned the continued pursuit of Wan Guiyuan, instead killing his way toward Wen Tiansheng.

The next moment.

The two fought together, and terrifying power instantly permeated the area.

That violent power did not spread outward but was condensed to the extreme; under the permeation of this power, the space in that region of heaven and earth began to distort.

The area covered by this power was not large, but the crowd's perception could not penetrate it.

They could only hear bursts of muffled "rumbling" sounds coming from within.

Whoosh~

A moment later.

A figure flew out from that distorted space.

It was none other than Wen Tiansheng.

At this moment, Wen Tiansheng's clothes and hair were all somewhat disheveled, and his eyes were full of frustration.

That bastard Wan Guiyuan is simply infuriating.

Why on earth would he carry an Image Recording Stone around with him when he has nothing better to do?

Furthermore...

He is a Sect Master, after all.

To think this brat would even scheme against a Sect Master; he really is a piece of work.

More importantly.

This brat is too good at acting; when he was recording the footage of himself speaking, he didn't reveal a single flaw on the surface.

However, he could also understand Wan Guiyuan.

After all, once things reached that point just now, if the Beast Taming Sect and Youyun Holy Land wanted to find a way out, they would have to sell Wan Guiyuan out.

Wan Guiyuan must have thought of this and prepared an escape route in advance.

He was merely acting in self-preservation.

He could only blame himself for underestimating this brat's ability to stir up trouble and for speaking too definitively.

After steadying himself, he looked at the five Beast Taming Sect Elders immediately.

"You all, leave quickly!"

Hearing this, the five of them did not hesitate in the slightest and fled outside the Youyun Holy Land with Yuan Xiuya and several other Beast Taming Sect Disciples.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang looked at Xuan Ji and said, "Little Ji Ji, let's hurry and leave too."

"My Beast Taming Sect Master can handle things here by himself; he is powerful and can cope with it."

Xuan Ji nodded upon hearing this, took Wang Jianqiang's hand, and flew off into the distance.

Wen Tiansheng's face darkened.

Luo Ling is a Great Vehicle Mid-Stage Cultivator.

If he had Xuan Ji's help, combining their two strengths, perhaps they could still put up a fight.

But if it were just him alone, what could he use to fight?

He highly suspected that this brat was deliberately digging a pit for him.

But once he remembered that this brat only had Nascent Soul Stage cultivation and couldn't see through Luo Ling's cultivation, he dismissed that thought.

Fortunately, he had always been cautious and had specifically prepared a trump card before coming.

Otherwise, he would have fallen here today.

Whoosh~

Just as Wen Tiansheng's expression was shifting, Luo Ling had already flown out from that distorted space.

He looked at the people fleeing into the distance and sneered.

"I said it before, no one is escaping today!"

As soon as his voice fell, he formed seals with both hands simultaneously and pointed at the void several times in succession.

As streaks of Spirit Light merged into the void, a wild wind rose, and the clouds swirled.

A massive Array appeared, shrouding the vast expanse of heaven and earth where the Youyun Holy Land was located.

The five Beast Taming Sect Elders, who were leading Yuan Xiuya and the others in flight, sank their expressions and came to a stop.

At the same time.

Sounds of air being torn apart came rushing in.

Over a dozen figures appeared all around them, surrounding them.

Looking around, the newcomers were all Void Refinement Stage Cultivators, and each of their cultivation levels was no lower than that of the five great Elders of the Beast Taming Sect.

On the other side.

Xuan Ji, who was pulling Wang Jianqiang along as they fled rapidly, frowned and also stopped.

"An Eighth-Rank Array!"

"This is bad."

Wang Jianqiang stared at the light screen of the Array, his expression grave, "Little Ji Ji, is there a way?"

"Can you stop calling me that so disgustingly?" Xuan Ji looked at Wang Jianqiang helplessly.

She had wanted to complain about it earlier, but because there were too many people around and she was afraid of undermining Wan Guiyuan, she had been holding it in and hadn't said it out loud.

Now, she had finally found an opportunity.

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "Doesn't this make us seem closer?"
