Chapter 917: Two of Our Own

Just as everyone was stunned.

Wan Guiyuan's angry voice continued to ring in their minds, "I told you to send at most five Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators, and fifty Seventh-Order Will Stage and Eighth-Order Will Stage cultivators, just to attack casually as a gesture. Did you take my words as wind passing by your ears?"

"Why did you send so many people!"

Wang Jianqiang's tone contained thirty percent anger, thirty percent dissatisfaction, thirty percent regret, and ten percent unwillingness; the emotions were very rich.

The reason for such vivid emotional expression was partly due to acting, and on the other hand, he was truly a bit angry when sending the sound transmission.

If Qingshui and the others had strictly followed his instructions to organize the Feint Squad, Wenxian City could have completely wiped out this squad without any injuries.

But it was precisely because of their acting on their own initiative that Wenxian City lost more than a dozen cultivators.

It caused a tiny flaw in his otherwise flawless plan.

It really shouldn't have happened!

Qingshui and the others did not know the real reason for Wang Jianqiang's anger.

They could only tell that Wan Guiyuan seemed to be truly angry.

This...

Could there be some hidden story in this?

The anger on the faces of the Leaders gradually faded, and they listened intently to the subsequent information in the Sound Transmission Talisman.

After listening to the following information.

The fire in the hearts of the Leaders had completely disappeared, replaced by looking at each other and a trace of embarrassment.

According to what Wan Guiyuan said.

Within a hundred miles of Wenxian City, besides the City Protection Array and the defensive arrays on the city gates and walls.

There was also a sensing array deployed.

Once the number of invaders and their overall strength reached a certain limit, this sensing array would be triggered.

If they had strictly controlled the number of troops in the feint attack as Wan Guiyuan said, they could have just avoided the sensing of this array.

But they did not follow Wan Guiyuan's instructions.

Causing the Feint Squad to be detected the moment they arrived outside Wenxian City.

Afterwards, Wenxian City quickly sent a message to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, mobilizing a large number of geniuses from the Immortal Abandoned Land.

Then the scene of the Feint Squad being surrounded and annihilated occurred.

Not only that.

After discovering the secretly hidden Feint Squad, in order to be safe, Wenxian City City Lord Yin Xuan even specifically mobilized some manpower to patrol various important locations in Wenxian City.

The location of the foundation of the City Protection Array was naturally the top priority and was investigated heavily.

At that time, he, who was unaware, was almost searched out.

He was inside Wenxian City; once searched out, the result was obvious...

The only path was death!

In other words, they almost killed Wan Guiyuan.

"This~"

"It seems we misunderstood Daoist Friend Wan."

After a moment of silence, Qingshui smiled awkwardly, "But speaking of which, the fact that the Feint Squad's number of members exceeded the limit cannot be blamed on us."

"We are actually quite wrongly accused of this scolding."

While speaking, Qingshui glanced at Cao Tian.

At the same time, the other six Leaders also looked at Cao Tian.

Cao Tian's expression froze, "What kind of look is that from everyone? When I proposed to increase the manpower, it was also for the sake of being safe."

"Wan Guiyuan didn't warn us in advance that there was an array outside Wenxian City that senses aura, and besides, didn't everyone tacitly agree to it back then?"

Qingshui and the others' eyes flashed, and they laughed it off, not continuing to dwell on this matter.

"Regardless, this incident can be considered a lesson."

"Since Daoist Friend Wan is charging and fighting inside Wenxian City, we must strictly follow his arrangements and assist him."

Inside Wenxian City.

After Wang Jianqiang returned to his residence, he began to hold the other seven Leaders accountable.

Not long after the message was sent out.

His Sound Transmission Talisman lit up.

With a thought, voices came through one after another.

It was the voices of the other seven Leaders, all apologizing to him.

Among them, while six of them apologized, they also intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that the Feint Squad matter was Yanshan acting on his own.

Only Yuwei's timid apology was full of sincerity and did not shirk responsibility.

Besides apologizing, she also carefully asked about his situation and used a pleasant voice to urge him to be careful and pay attention to safety.

What a thoughtful girl.

After Wang Jianqiang finished listening to the voices in the Sound Transmission Talisman, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

In the previous sound transmissions from several people, they also specifically asked how to proceed next.

He pondered for a moment and sent a message back to the seven people.

Outer Realm Battlefield, wilderness.

After Qingshui and the others received the message from Wang Jianqiang, they looked at each other, their brows slightly furrowed.

"Because this operation failed, the security within Wenxian City has become extremely strict."

"It is temporarily impossible to approach the location of the City Protection Array's foundation."

"We will make contact again when we act later."

"Before then, do not act rashly."

This was the message Wan Guiyuan sent back to them.

"Too troublesome."

"We should have just launched a direct assault from the start."

The Yunzhou Leader shook their head with some impatience.

"That's right, if we had launched a direct assault from the start, the losses might not necessarily be much greater than they are now."

The Wuzhou Leader nodded.

"How about we send a message telling Daoist Friend Wan to leave Wenxian City, and we just launch a direct assault?" The Taizhou Leader's eyes flashed.

"No."

Qingshui sighed, "To carry out the plan, we have already lost so much; if we give up halfway, everything we did before, and the losses we paid... wouldn't it all be wasted for nothing?"

"Moreover, our losses are already great; if we switch to a direct assault method and lose a large number of men, we will certainly be held accountable after returning."

"As things stand, we can only hope the plan succeeds and take Wenxian City with minimal losses."

Qingshui's analysis was clear and logical.

After hearing it, everyone felt it made a lot of sense.

They nodded one after another.

As things stand, they could only hope Wan Guiyuan would succeed as soon as possible.

After Wang Jianqiang stabilized the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators.

He began to attend to serious business.

Ten days later.

He was chatting in the main hall with the Great Star Envoy and Xiao Ke Ke, listening to the two of them recount the events that had occurred within the Immortal Abandoned Land over these years.

Yin Xuan suddenly sent a message.

The second batch of geniuses arriving as reinforcements had arrived!

Wang Jianqiang had just prepared to put down the Sound Transmission Talisman and go to the City Lord's Mansion to take a look.

The Sound Transmission Talisman suddenly began to flicker.

Sensing the aura on the Sound Transmission Talisman, a faint smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

Among the people in this batch, the two of them were actually here too?

He stood up.

"Master, what is it? Is it a message from the City Lord's Mansion?"

Xiao Ke Ke looked at Wang Jianqiang.

Although the control method Wang Jianqiang had left in her Soul had already vanished, Xiao Ke Ke seemed to have grown accustomed to it in private.

She still addressed him as Master.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, "Indeed, but besides the City Lord's Mansion, there are also two of our own people."

"Our own people?"

Xiao Ke Ke's expression stirred.

Just then, the Great Star Envoy suddenly said, "It should be Jiang Xuan and Senior Sister Linge, right?"

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow and looked at the Great Star Envoy with a smile, "Your Astrology seems to be getting more and more profound."

The Great Star Envoy shook their head, "No matter how profound it is, it still has no effect on you, doesn't it?"

"My situation is a bit special."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, shook his head, and walked toward the door.
