Chapter 992: Forgot? Let Me Help You Remember

Caidie's attempt at self-detonation was blocked, and a look of despair flashed across her face.

"Wanting to self-detonate to avoid being subjected to my Soul Searching?"

The Muyun City Lord looked at Caidie, a cold sneer appearing on his face, "If I, this old man, were to be fooled by such a petty scheme of yours, wouldn't these years as City Lord have been spent in vain?"

"Today, no matter what, I must find that adulterer."

"Daring to ruin my plans, I will surely make him suffer total annihilation of body and soul!"

As he spoke.

He raised his palm, preparing to perform Soul Searching on Caidie.

Suddenly, he seemed to perceive something.

His expression changed.

He withdrew his palm and looked toward a corner of the room.

In that dim corner, a figure had appeared, though no one knew when.

A young man with an unfamiliar appearance.

"Who are you? Why have you appeared here!"

The Muyun City Lord looked at the young man, his face full of vigilance, his tone low.

After the Muyun City Lord's voice fell, the young man smiled slightly.

"Weren't you just looking for me?"

"Now..."

"I have come of my own accord."

"Are you happy?"

The young man's tone contained a trace of amusement, as if it were banter between old friends.

But upon hearing the young man's words, the Muyun City Lord's expression changed abruptly.

Then it turned completely gloomy, "Caidie's affair, it was your doing!"

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile, "That's right, it was me."

The Muyun City Lord stared at Wang Jianqiang, cold light flickering in his eyes.

At this moment.

This room was filled with his power.

Since the intruder had not been suppressed, it meant his strength was not insignificant.

But...

So what?

This person had ruined his plans and had already forged a blood feud with him.

More importantly, with the plan failed, he could not live out a second life and did not have many years left to live.

Since that was the case, why worry so much?

At worst, he would drag this person down to the grave with him!

However.

Although he was angry, he had not completely lost his reason.

Since he was going to act, he naturally had to choose a method favorable to himself.

Thinking of this, he suddenly grabbed toward Caidie.

He was familiar with all the experts in Muyun City, and there was no such person as this.

The other party's sudden arrival was likely because of Caidie.

Since Caidie held such a high position in his heart, he would first control Caidie to make the other party hesitate to act.

Then he would find a way to kill the other party!

"Heh, you are quite cunning."

Seeing the Muyun City Lord suddenly strike at Caidie, a cold luster flashed in Wang Jianqiang's eyes.

At the same time, he released his control over his body.

The next moment.

His gaze suddenly changed, as if he had been subjected to Possession in this instant, becoming a second person.

The moment Wang Jianqiang's gaze changed.

An aura akin to the might of heaven instantly permeated the room.

The power belonging to the Muyun City Lord, which had originally filled every corner of the room, was instantly dispersed without the slightest resistance.

The Muyun City Lord let out a muffled groan, his palm reaching for Caidie stopped abruptly, and his entire body was frozen in place by an invisible force.

"This power..."

A look of horror emerged in the Muyun City Lord's eyes.

He was a Void Refinement mid-stage Cultivator!

Even though it was forcibly elevated by evil secret arts, it was still the Void Refinement mid-stage.

To be able to suppress him until he could not move just by the diffusion of an aura, even a Cultivator at the Void Refinement Perfection Stage could not do it.

Could it be...

At this moment.

A guess suddenly surfaced in his heart, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

"You are..."

"A Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator!"

Hearing the City Lord of Muyun City's voice, which carried a trace of trembling, Xiaobai, who had already taken over Wang Jianqiang's body, wore an indifferent expression and had no intention of responding.

Within those eyes, a black light flashed.

A mass of black mist, without any warning, instantly enveloped the City Lord of Muyun City.

Then, he waved his palm.

The Darkness Power was dispersed, and along with it, the body of the City Lord of Muyun City was directly dispersed as if it were a part of the darkness.

His Nascent Soul, however, was preserved due to Xiaobai's deliberate effort.

But the consciousness within the Nascent Soul had already been completely wiped away.

After slaying the City Lord of Muyun City, Xiaobai looked at the dazed-looking Caidie, curled her lip, and her consciousness retreated from Wang Jianqiang's body like a receding tide, returning to the Spirit God Ring.

As her consciousness withdrew, the aura on Wang Jianqiang's body plummeted, returning once again to the level of the Transformation Stage.

At the same time.

A flash of light appeared in Wang Jianqiang's eyes, and his consciousness regained control of his body.

He stepped forward and collected the Void Refinement Stage Nascent Soul that had lost its consciousness.

Then, he looked at Caidie, who was still in shock and had not yet recovered, and smiled, "What is it, Caidie? Do you not recognize your master?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's familiar voice and tone, Caidie immediately snapped back to reality.

She hurriedly shook her head, "No, how could I not recognize Master? It's just..."

"It's just that I didn't expect Master to suddenly become so strong."

Initially, upon seeing Wang Jianqiang arrive, her first reaction had been worry, followed immediately by regret.

She was worried that Wang Jianqiang would die at the hands of the City Lord of Muyun City.

In her mind, Wang Jianqiang's sudden arrival must have been because she had crushed the Twin Stone, and he had sensed the change in it.

If Wang Jianqiang were to fall because of this, would that not mean she was the one who caused it?

She had not yet had time to feel too much self-reproach.

Immediately after, she saw Wang Jianqiang make his move.

And then...

All the worry, regret, and self-reproach in her heart turned into shock.

The City Lord of Muyun City...

The ruler of Muyun City, the undisputed number one powerhouse in all of Muyun City, a mighty figure at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Stage...

Had actually been killed in an instant by Wang Jianqiang!

The process was as effortless as crushing an ant!

Wasn't Wang Jianqiang a Dahuang Immortal Palace Student?

Wasn't he a cultivator of the younger generation?

How did he suddenly become this strong?

That was a mid-stage Void Refinement Stage cultivator!

It was a realm that even some prodigies and Monsters yearned for!

And he was just easily killed in an instant like that?

This scene completely overturned her perception.

Hearing the tone of amazement in Caidie's voice, Wang Jianqiang looked at her with a smile, "What are you saying? Hasn't your master always been this strong?"

"Have you forgotten?"

Caidie was startled, a look of confusion flashing across her face.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "You don't remember? That's alright, Master will help you recall it properly."

As he spoke, he walked toward Caidie with a smile.

At this moment, Caidie finally realized what was happening, and her face immediately turned red.
