Wu Shuang stared at the huge figure bound by chains in the flames and asked with uncertainty, “Is he from the Yang God Race?”
Venerable Ning Jing nodded slightly and chuckled. “That’s right.”
“This is the Yang God Race that Fellow Daoist Wang mentioned. This figure is the seventh Rank-9 Yang God grandmaster that we’ve captured in the past few days.”
Although Wu Shuang was already prepared, she was still shocked after receiving Venerable Ning Jing’s affirmation. When she heard that this was already the seventh Yang God expert, her expression finally changed completely.
She also realized the severity of the situation. The danger posed by the Yang God Race was far, far worse than she had imagined.
Venerable Ning Jing continued, “The experts of the Yang God Race who were previously captured have been killed by me.”
“However, during this period, I’ve also found some patterns.”
“The power of the Yang attribute is the strongest and most obvious to the Yang God martial artists.”
The moment she finished speaking…
Venerable Ning Jing looked at Wu Shuang and asked with a smile, “Do you now know what Fellow Daoist Wang intended to do?”
Wu Shuang suddenly looked enlightened and instantly reacted. She couldn’t help but blurt out, “Venerable Wang Yi’s final intention was to tell us that the Yang God Race is afraid of Yang-attribute power, right?”
Venerable Ning Jing nodded slightly. “That’s right. This is Fellow Daoist Wang’s last intention.”
If Wang Yi were present to hear this conversation, he would definitely praise the two of them.
Their thoughts were too sensitive. They were almost exactly what he wanted to express.
Immediately after that, Venerable Ning Jing seemed to have suddenly discovered something. Her eyes lit up as she stared at Wu Shuang for a long time. Then, she couldn’t help but click her tongue and say, “I didn’t expect that on this trip to Cang City, your realm would actually break through to the Peak Realm.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Shuang’s expression brightened.
To be honest, not only was Venerable Ning Jing surprised, but even Wu Shuang felt like she was in a dream. It felt unreal.
No one expected that a mission, which was supposed to be a life-and-death mission, would actually allow Wu Shuang to obtain such a huge opportunity in the small Cang City.
The gap between the peak of Rank-9 and the Peak Realm had actually been crossed as easily as eating and drinking.
Wu Shuang had nothing to hide from Venerable Ning Jing, so she told her everything that had happened in Cang City.
Venerable Ning Jing couldn’t help but reveal a strange expression when she heard this. Then, she said with some emotion, “We haven’t even met, but Fellow Daoist Wang has already given me a huge gift.”
These words were not exaggerated at all. Although there were many top-notch humans in the Langya Domain, life was still a little difficult for the countless humans in these hundreds of huge cities.
Now that there was an additional top-notch existence, it would have a great effect on the future battle between humans and the other races.
The next morning…
Some observant people realized that the front door of the Venerable Palace, which had been closed all year round, was wide open today.
A red carpet made entirely of the fur of powerful beasts stretched from the steps of the main entrance to the depths of the hall.
On both sides of the main entrance stood several powerful martial artists. The person in the lead was a Rank-9 grandmaster, Wu Shuang. It was as if they were welcoming a distinguished guest.
The passers-by could not help but sigh. What kind of big shot was going to descend to Langya County City?
It had to be known that the last time the main entrance of the Venerable Palace was opened was half a year ago. The guest who was welcomed was a passing Connate Venerable.
Outside Cang City…
In the endless wilderness, the traces left behind by the previous battle had yet to be erased.
At this moment, two figures were walking in the wilderness. From the looks of it, they were chatting and laughing as if they were on an outing.
However, it was indeed no different from an outing. In the past few days, Wang Yi had only signed in for some supplementary cultivation pills. Meanwhile, he had already pushed the four divine techniques to the peak of Level-12.
Now, he only lacked an opportunity. As long as the opportunity arrived, he could instantly push his divine techniques to achieve the Perfection Realm.
Although the beast race had many experts, they were no longer a threat to Wang Yi.
Moreover, even though this wilderness was huge, it was no different from their backyard.
This was the first time Su Shiya had escaped the confines of that tall city wall. She had truly set foot in this wilderness that she had only seen on television but had never really come into contact with.
It was not until she really stepped into this land that Su Shiya understood how cruel the previous siege of the beasts was.
Utter desolation was not enough to describe everything that she was seeing.
As far as the eye could see, the shattered ground was already dyed red with blood. There were even countless pools of beast blood in some of the sunken areas.
As the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard was left behind by Wang Yi to guard Cang City, the two of them could only walk to Langya County City.
Over the past few days, Su Ya had been eating the dishes that Wang Yi had prepared for her to improve her physique. However, since Wang Yi wanted to help her solidify her foundation, she actually did not improve so quickly. She had only just stepped into Level-2.
With Su Shiya’s strength, it would definitely be very difficult for her to travel such a long distance. Thus, Wang Yi simply used his true qi to form a platform and carried her forward.
The two of them walked and stopped several times along the way. Soon, they walked out of Cang City.
After leaving the battlefield, although the wilderness still looked very desolate and lonely, the scenery was extremely beautiful.
Although they were in the wilderness, Su Shiya did not feel any danger with Wang Yi by her side. She looked around like a curious baby and felt ill at ease.
“Ah Yi, look! What a beautiful peach forest!”
At this moment, Su Shiya was standing outside a peach forest and waving her little hands at Wang Yi, her face filled with surprise.
Upon seeing this, Wang Yi arrived in front of her in a few steps. At the same time, he swept his spiritual power into the peach forest.
Then, a strange smile appeared on his face. He rubbed Su Shiya’s beautiful hair and said with a smile, “Our Shiya is really lucky.”
To be honest, Wang Yi was really envious of Su Shiya’s luck.
Along the way, he only pointed out a general direction. The rest of the time, he had been following Su Shiya. He did not expect to come here after leaving Cang City.
The peach forest in front of him was not simple.
According to the Spiritual Food Catalog, these peach trees were called the Lightning Rod Trees. They could attract lightning from the clouds on rainy days and use the special power contained in the lightning to temper themselves.
The fruit these trees bore also contained the power of lightning. Not only was its taste very famous in the Spiritual Food Catalog, but it was also a top-grade martial arts resource that tempered one’s body and consolidated one’s foundation.
In particular, this treasure had a very strong tempering effect on the bodies of Rank-9 grandmasters.
This peach forest occupied a huge area. Some peach trees had just bloomed, and some peach trees were already full of fruits.
Wang Yi could not figure out why the growth patterns of these things were so different.
If he plucked a few fruits and combined them with the other body-tempering treasures in Wang Yi’s hands, it probably wouldn’t be long before Su Shiya’s body advanced to Level-4 and reached the basic requirements to cultivate the Eternal Youth Technique.
