Chapter 889: Tongzhou, Qingshui

Having left the Immortal Abandoned Land for so long, I am finally about to return!

At the thought of returning to the Immortal Abandoned Land soon.

While Wang Jianqiang was worried about this battle in his heart, he could not help but feel a bit excited.

Just as Wang Jianqiang was looking at the entrance to the Outer Realm Battlefield, his thoughts drifting away.

A sound of breaking through the air suddenly arrived.

He turned his head to look, and a small Spirit Boat flew over.

A flash of Spirit Light appeared on the Spirit Boat, and a figure flew out from within.

Luo Ling waved his hand to put away the Spirit Boat, and glanced at Wen Tiansheng with a gloomy expression.

Wen Tiansheng's expression remained as usual, as if he had not noticed, and he looked around.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Luo Ling's livid expression again and smiled inwardly.

He looked around.

The world was vast and empty; apart from the Youzhou team, the teams from the other seven continents had not yet arrived.

The meeting place for the teams of the Eight Continents was right here at the entrance to the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Compared to the other seven continents.

Youzhou was the closest to this place.

It was normal that the other seven continents had not yet arrived.

Amidst everyone's waiting.

Three days passed in a flash.

On this day.

A fluctuation suddenly came faintly from afar; everyone looked up, and a Spirit Light appeared in the distance within everyone's field of vision.

As the Spirit Light drew closer.

Everyone gradually saw clearly the scene wrapped within the Spirit Light.

It was a bronze palace.

The moment they saw the bronze palace, everyone felt an ancient and powerful aura.

"This is the Dao Sect's supreme treasure, Xuantian Palace; the Tongzhou cultivators have arrived!"

The moment they saw the bronze palace, a whisper arose among the crowd.

Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred.

After learning about the alliance of the Eight Continents, he had crammed on information regarding the major forces of the Eight Continents.

The Dao Sect is known as the strongest force in Tongzhou, and its status in Tongzhou is just like the Youyun Holy Land in Youzhou.

Its overall strength is not the least bit weaker than the Youyun Holy Land.

While information about the Dao Sect flashed through Wang Jianqiang's mind, the bronze palace had already appeared above everyone's heads.

A flash of Spirit Light appeared on the palace.

The metal gate engraved with mysterious runes slowly opened, and a group of figures walked out from within.

At a glance, the number was no less than that of the Youzhou side.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze fell upon the man leading the Tongzhou team, and information about the other party appeared in his mind.

Great Vehicle Mid-Stage?

After seeing the other party's cultivation, his gaze flickered.

"This person is the contemporary Sect Master of the Dao Sect, Tianlingzi, with a Great Vehicle Mid-Stage cultivation."

Just at this moment, a prompt sounded in Wang Jianqiang's mind; the voice came from Wen Tiansheng.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze flickered.

At the same time.

Tianlingzi's gaze swept over the people of Youzhou and finally paused on Luo Ling, a gentle smile appearing on his face, "Greetings, Daoist Friend Luo Ling."

Luo Ling nodded, "Greetings, Daoist Friend Tianlingzi."

Tianlingzi swept his gaze over the teams composed of disciples from various Youzhou forces, and finally, his gaze paused on Wang Jianqiang.

He smiled at Luo Ling, "This child is heroic and extraordinary, possessing quite a bit of the demeanor Daoist Friend Luo had back in the day. Presumably, he must be the number one person among this generation of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Youyun Holy Land, right?"

Hearing Tianlingzi's words, the expressions of everyone on the Youzhou side turned strange one after another.

Sensing the changes in the expressions of the people on the Youzhou side, Tianlingzi frowned.

What?

Was there something wrong with what he said?

His gaze shifted and fell back onto Luo Ling, discovering that Luo Ling's expression had somehow become extremely ugly.

Tianlingzi's heart stirred.

Could it be...

Did he guess wrong?

The leader of the Youzhou team did not come from the Youyun Holy Land?

Just as Tianlingzi realized this, Luo Ling suddenly replied with a dark face, "The leader of the Youzhou team does not come from our Youyun Holy Land."

Sure enough!

Hearing Luo Ling's response, Tianlingzi suddenly understood.

Immediately afterward, a flash of doubt crossed his eyes.

The Youyun Holy Land is the strongest sect in Youzhou; the leader actually didn't come from the Youyun Holy Land?

Is the Youyun Holy Land's ability to cultivate disciples that poor?

Furthermore...

Even if he had guessed wrong, it shouldn't have made Luo Ling's expression look so ugly, right?

Could there be some hidden story behind this?

Tianlingzi looked at Luo Ling, and seeing that Luo Ling's expression was indeed extremely unsightly, he ultimately decided not to touch that bad luck.

His gaze swept over Wang Jianqiang once more.

He then saw the Identity Token of a Beast Taming Sect Disciple at Wang Jianqiang's waist, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

Shifting his gaze, he looked at Wen Tiansheng and said with a chuckle, "This young man is heroic and extraordinary, possessing quite a bit of the style Daoist Friend Wen had in his youth; one can tell at a glance that he is a high-ranking Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, right?"

Wen Tiansheng nodded with a smile, "I have always heard that Daoist Friend Tianlingzi has extraordinary discernment; seeing you today, it is truly a case of 'hearing of a reputation is not as good as meeting the person'."

Tianlingzi laughed, "Daoist Friend Wen is too kind, it is merely a hollow reputation."

Listening to the polite pleasantries of the two, Wang Jianqiang secretly felt disdain in his heart.

Two shameless old things, not a single word of truth in their mouths.

Unlike him, who was a sincere and honest person.

He looked down on such people the most!

He secretly spat in his heart, then raised his head to look toward the Tongzhou side, his gaze landing on a youth dressed in Daoist robes.

The youth had red lips and white teeth, and his appearance was exceptionally handsome.

The moment he saw this youth, the other party's information appeared in his mind almost simultaneously.

Qingshui?

This person is the Leader of the Tongzhou side?

Wang Jianqiang looked at the handsome youth named Qingshui, a look of contemplation on his face.

Just at this moment.

Qingshui seemed to have sensed his gaze and looked over at him.

Those clear eyes were like two pools of spring water, making one feel a sense of tranquility upon seeing them.

All negative emotions in his heart vanished instantly, replaced by absolute peace.

This was a type of peace that would not stir even if an enemy's blade were at one's throat.

The next moment.

Wang Jianqiang suddenly jolted awake from this sense of peace.

A look of caution flashed in his eyes.

What a bizarre Pupil Technique!

The effect of this Pupil Technique seemed ordinary, but it hid astonishing danger within.

For instance, it could make an enemy lose their perception of danger the moment it arrived, leaving them unable to muster any desire to resist!

It caused the enemy's mind to relax, even to the point of offering no resistance at all!

If used well, its power could be called terrifying!

While Wang Jianqiang was surprised in his heart because of Qingshui's Pupil Technique, a look of shock flashed across Qingshui's face.

This person had been influenced by his Pupil Technique while completely off guard, yet in such a passive situation, he had recovered after being immersed for only a split second.

This was the first time his Pupil Technique had failed when facing a Cultivator of the same level.

Just at this moment.

A faint, flickering fluctuation suddenly came from the distance.

Everyone sensed it one after another and looked toward the direction from which the fluctuation came.

Wen Tiansheng and Tianlingzi stopped their friendly pleasantries, both raised their heads in unison, and looked over.
