Chapter 946: Solidifying the Persona

Above the clouds, two figures were still locked in a fierce battle.

One was draped in golden gauze, wielding power of extreme dominance with every gesture.

The other's methods were simple and unadorned, yet their Will Power was astonishingly strong.

The two were deadlocked, neither able to do anything to the other.

Boom~

Mu Lingxi struck again, and while she sent Yuwei reeling back, she also retreated herself.

Yuwei looked at the fleeing troops, a flash of desolation crossing her face.

This trip to the Outer Realm Battlefield had gathered the prodigies of the Eight Continents, numbering over four thousand!

What a magnificent sight.

Yet she never expected it to end like this.

After this battle, the Outside the Realm Army was completely scattered, no longer possessing the strength to threaten Wenxian City.

The mission for this trip had been declared a complete failure.

A moment later.

Her expression recovered, and she shook her head at Lu Xiu, "After this battle, the final strength to attack Wenxian City has been exhausted; we have lost the qualification to attack Wenxian City."

"In that case, it naturally won't affect Daoist Friend Wan."

"There is no longer any meaning for the two of us to continue fighting."

"Let's stop."

Mu Lingxi's gaze flashed; she did not continue to attack Yuwei, but instead flickered and appeared beside Jiuyou.

Yuwei looked at Jiuyou and Lu Xiu, sighing softly.

With a flicker, she vanished from sight.

After Yuwei left, Yaoguang and Yuan Xiuya slowly approached.

Yuan Xiuya looked at Lu Xiu, his gaze extremely complex.

Initially, he was the strongest prodigy of the Beast Taming Sect besides Wen Ya, the center of everyone's attention, arguably one person below ten thousand.

However, with the rise of Wan Guiyuan, he became number three.

He had been very unconvinced at first, but as Wan Guiyuan's strength grew ever greater, he had to adapt to the status of being number three.

But, he had only just adapted to the position of number three.

Yet another person, Lu Xiu, had popped up.

His strength was so great that it was even better than Wan Guiyuan's!

Which meant he didn't even get to be number three anymore!

While Yuan Xiuya was depressed, Yaoguang had already looked at "Lu Xiu," "If we don't keep her here, once she returns Outside the Realm, will she tell others about our cooperation with Wenxian City?"

Lu Xiu shook his head, "We cannot ensure that we can keep everyone else here."

"If we can't kill her, it doesn't have much meaning."

"Besides, who said we cooperated with Wenxian City?"

"Didn't I already say? We just had no time to attack each other under the pressure of the situation."

"As for the slaughter among companions, that was also because we were being hunted and had no other choice."

"We are the victims, alright?"

Hearing Lu Xiu's righteous words, Jiuyou and Yaoguang couldn't help but look at him, then silently nodded.

Even the depressed Yuan Xiuya couldn't help but have a strange look flash across his face.

Is this considered sophistry?

It shouldn't... be, right?

After all, it sounded very reasonable.

The pursuit of the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators by the cultivators of Wenxian City lasted for more than half a day.

Under the pursuit of the Wenxian City cultivators, over eighty percent of the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators fell, with only a few dozen lucky enough to escape.

After the battle.

Jiuyou and the others found the Great Star Envoy, demanding that the Great Star Envoy fulfill the promise.

The process was much smoother than Jiuyou and the others had imagined.

The Great Star Envoy and the other Wenxian City cultivators did not hesitate at all, contacting Wenxian City to release Wan Guiyuan.

"Daoist Friend Wan."

When Wan Guiyuan appeared before them, seeing that although Wan Guiyuan did not look to be in the best state, there were no obvious injuries on his body, Jiuyou let out a long sigh of relief.

"Senior Brother!"

Beside Jiuyou, Lu Xiu also looked at Wan Guiyuan with an excited face.

Wan Guiyuan smiled and nodded at the two, "I already know everything you have done; thank you for your hard work."

After Wan Guiyuan met with Jiuyou and the others.

The Great Star Envoy took a deep look at Wan Guiyuan and the others, "This time, we are allies; we in Wenxian City will not make things difficult for you, but when we meet again, we will be mortal enemies."

"You may go."

Wan Guiyuan turned to look at the Great Star Envoy and nodded, "Fairy's word is worth a thousand gold; I admire that."

"Farewell."

After speaking, Wan Guiyuan nodded to Jiuyou and Lu Xiu.

The group flew into the air and escaped into the distance.

After Wan Guiyuan and the others left, a flash of Spirit Light shone from Ye Lingyun, who had been standing silently beside the Great Star Envoy, and transformed into the original appearance of Wang Jianqiang.

"Daoist Friend Wang, will your avatar not be discovered?" the Great Star Envoy looked at Wang Jianqiang.

"Rest assured, there is no problem."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

The Wan Guiyuan from just moments ago was an illusion created by his Will Avatar.

Aside from being unable to inherit the power of the physical body, the Will Avatar possessed all other abilities equivalent to his true self.

With his methods of concealment, deceiving these Out-of-Boundary Cultivators was not the slightest bit problematic.

Just then, Xiao Keke asked in confusion, "Master, didn't you say you weren't planning to go Outside the Realm anymore?"

"Why do you still need to use a Disguise in front of these people?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "I just don't intend to go Outside the Realm recently, but in the future, perhaps I still will."

"The identity of Wan Guiyuan is quite good; it can be kept for future use."

"It is better to be prepared."

"You still want to return Outside the Realm?"

Jiang Xuan raised an eyebrow.

During this battle, just in case, Wang Jianqiang had kept Jiang Xuan hidden in the shadows to act according to the situation.

Ready to provide support at any time.

However.

The war process went surprisingly smoothly, so Jiang Xuan, this backup plan, was not needed.

Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Of course I must go; the strength Outside the Realm far exceeds your imagination."

"If we cannot know ourselves and know the enemy, our world will be breached sooner or later."

"Just like this time, if not for my identity as the Leader of Youzhou, Wenxian City would certainly have been breached."

"But, wouldn't that be a bit risky?" Jiang Xuan's expression was somewhat worried.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head with a smile, "Rest assured, with the identity of Wan Guiyuan, I am in no danger Outside the Realm."

"Moreover, I am not planning to return Outside the Realm for a short time."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan's expression relaxed.

Just then, Wang Jianqiang's voice sounded again, "In order to solidify the persona of Wan Guiyuan, there is one more thing we need to do."

The four women were stunned upon hearing this, "What thing?"

The corners of Wang Jianqiang's mouth lifted slightly, revealing an inscrutable smile.

……

After leaving the battlefield, Yuwei had been trying every possible way to rescue the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators.

Among the Cultivators who escaped from Outside the Realm, nearly half succeeded in getting away under her rescue.

However, in order to narrow down the search target of Wenxian City.

After saving these Out-of-Boundary Cultivators, she did not let these people act together with her.

Instead, she had these people head to the exit leading Outside the Realm as quickly as possible to leave first.

She herself lingered around the battlefield until she was certain the battle had completely ended, only then flying toward the exit.

However.

She had only been flying for half an hour.

A streak of Spirit Light suddenly flew out from one side, and immediately, the Spirit Light spread in all directions at an astonishing speed, transforming into a massive curtain of light that enveloped the area where Yuwei was located like an inverted giant bowl.
