Chapter 909: The Reaction of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace

"The source of the information is somewhat complex, so I won't go into detail, but there is one thing I can tell you."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Judging by the expressions of Yin Xuan and the others, the news of his own "fall" beneath the Covering Heaven Great Hand had not spread.

Since that was the case, Wang Jianqiang did not intend to explain the matters Outside the Realm to Yin Xuan and the others in detail.

After brushing them off with a casual remark, he paused, then continued, "The total force Outside the Realm this time is over four thousand people. The weakest among them are Seventh-Order Will Stage cultivators, and among them, there are over eighty Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators..."

In the silent hall, Wang Jianqiang's voice rang out slowly, neither hurried nor slow.

Every time Wang Jianqiang spoke a number, the complexions of Yin Xuan and the other four would change accordingly.

When Wang Jianqiang's voice finally ceased, their faces were already filled with horror.

A force of over four thousand people, all with cultivation at or above the Seventh-Order Will Stage!

Among them, there were as many as eighty-plus Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators!

Such power was more than a hundred times that of Wenxian City!

Even if they were to seek help from the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, it would likely be a drop in the bucket.

With such a massive disparity, even if Wenxian City possessed two City Protection Arrays, it would surely be of no use.

How could they still fight?

Noticing the expressions of the five, Wang Jianqiang shook his head. "The five of you, do not be pessimistic yet. I already have some countermeasures that might help Wenxian City deal with this great Tribulation."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, a glimmer of hope instantly appeared on the faces of the five.

If an ordinary person had said this, they certainly would not have believed it.

But the person speaking was Master Wang.

Given Master Wang's character and the contributions he had made to Wenxian City in the past, he would absolutely not deceive them.

Yin Xuan looked at Wang Jianqiang, his face revealing a hint of inquiry. "I wonder what countermeasures Master Wang has?"

Hearing Yin Xuan's question, the four Vice City Lords also immediately looked over.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head. "Daoist Friend Yin, just send a message to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace first, and have them dispatch reinforcements as quickly as possible."

"As for how to proceed specifically, I need to wait until the reinforcements from the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace arrive and weigh the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves before making a decision."

Yin Xuan realized, nodded, and said, "I understand, Master Wang. I will go and request aid from the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace right away."

After explaining the situation to Yin Xuan, Yin Xuan invited Wang Jianqiang to stay in the City Lord's Mansion.

Wang Jianqiang refused.

Later, Yin Xuan proposed finding him an excellent residence to stay in temporarily, but he refused again, instead coming to the residential area of the Sanitation Department and moving into his original quarters.

Back then, he had come to Wenxian City for the first time.

Here, he had met Caidie, Kunshan, Xiao Ke Ke, Wei Yuan...

Now, Caidie and Kunshan had already left Wenxian City.

Xiao Ke Ke had abandoned darkness for light and had already become his person.

After Wei Yuan left Wenxian City, he had not returned to this day; though he missed him dearly, there was nothing he could do.

And there was...

Wu Tan, who lived next door.

Now Wu Tan had also left Wenxian City, and he had specifically inquired about Wu Tan's whereabouts.

It was said that after leaving Wenxian City, Wu Tan began secluded cultivation, attempting the Spirit Transformation.

But in the end, he failed to survive the Transformation God Tribulation and died beneath the Heavenly Tribulation.

Upon hearing this news, Wang Jianqiang remained silent for quite a while.

Wu Tan's talent was not high, but he was honest and sincere, a friend worth having.

He had not expected that he would fall just like that.

The years are heartless.

Time, it has changed too much.

Thinking of this, a sense of loneliness and sorrow welled up in his heart.

It was just a pity that Caidie had also left; otherwise, he would not feel so lonely and sorrowful now.

The Great Wilderness Immortal Palace was as calm as ever.

When the Boundary Wall of the Tianhuo Domain was broken and the experts from Outside the Realm invaded, it only alarmed the high-level officials of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

The Dahuang Immortal Palace Students within the Immortal Palace did not know about this matter.

Moreover, the news of Wang Jianqiang's fall, under the control of the high-level officials of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, had not spread either.

Aside from the high-level officials of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, those in the know were limited to Wang Yuyao and others who were close to Wang Jianqiang.

Some observant Dahuang Immortal Palace Students had noticed Wang Jianqiang's disappearance, but they only assumed he was in secluded cultivation or out on a mission.

They were not clear on the specific reason.

As time passed, this matter was cast to the back of the students' minds.

This day.

A piece of information was secretly transmitted back to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

"Wang Jianqiang has appeared in Wenxian City!"

"Four thousand geniuses from Outside the Realm are gathering, preparing to attack Wenxian City!"

Upon receiving this information, the high-level officials of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace were shaken.

The three Palace Masters immediately summoned the high-level officials to hold a meeting.

"What are your thoughts on this matter?"

The Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Palace Master Mo Ling swept his gaze over those present, his expression grave as he spoke.

After hearing Mo Ling's words, a high-ranking member spoke up, "The fall of Wang Jianqiang was personally confirmed by Senior Xuanyi; it cannot be false. I suspect the Wang Jianqiang inside Wenxian City is someone in Disguise."

After their voice fell, everyone nodded one after another.

"That's right, this must be a conspiracy from Outside the Realm."

"We must not act rashly."

"Correct, it would be best to immediately contact Yin Xuan, activate the City Protection Array, and kill them while they are caught off guard!"

"I, however, feel that it is possible he is real."

Just as everyone was discussing it heatedly, a pleasant female voice suddenly rang out.

The voice was not loud, but it instantly drowned out everyone present.

Hearing this voice, everyone looked in unison at Nian Qinghe, who was sitting on the right side of Mo Ling.

Not long after the incident in the Tianhuo Domain, Nian Qinghe had entered seclusion.

Three years ago, she broke through and reached the Void Refinement Stage.

She became the second Void Refinement Stage Cultivator in the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, aside from Mo Ling, on the surface.

More importantly, she was still very young, not yet a thousand years old, with infinite potential.

This also made her prestige within the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace extremely high today.

It was already no less than Mo Ling's.

Therefore, upon hearing her voice, no one dared to be negligent, and they all stopped their discussion.

Even Mo Ling looked over at her.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Nian Qinghe spoke again, "In this world, there are countless profound techniques. In the distant ancient times, legends even say that immortals descended. Although a Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator is strong, they cannot claim to be able to see through all techniques in the world."

"Perhaps Wang Jianqiang possessed some kind of life-saving trump card and escaped that Tribulation; it is not impossible."

"After all, we did not find his corpse back then, nor did we find his Residual Soul."

Upon hearing this, the crowd's expressions turned hesitant.

One person gave a dry cough and could not help but speak up, "But if Wang Jianqiang is not dead, why has he not appeared, nor contacted our Great Wilderness Immortal Palace?"

Nian Qinghe shook her head, "Perhaps he has some hidden difficulties; it is not impossible. I suggest we go and confirm it before making a decision."

"After all, this matter involves Outside the Realm and is of great importance."

Hearing this, the crowd revealed expressions of contemplation, and then nodded.

Mo Ling looked at Nian Qinghe, "Your concerns are very reasonable, but one point requires caution."

"That is, the person who goes to confirm Wang Jianqiang's identity is critical. Do you have any recommended candidates?"

Nian Qinghe nodded, "I do indeed have a candidate. This person not only possesses the means to see through a Disguise but is also extremely familiar with Wang Jianqiang."

"They are the best candidate to confirm Wang Jianqiang's identity."
