Chapter 2297 - 2256: Yinqing Ridge

He discovered that Empress Chi Yao's cultivation base had already reached the Fifth Mold Stage of the Immortal Realm. Although they both came from the Ancient Continent, Empress Chi Yao and Wang Xiaoqiang were still different. Wang Xiaoqiang had a powerful physical body as a foundation for cultivation, naturally progressing a thousand miles a day, extremely fast,

while Empress Chi Yao, without a physical body base, could reach such a cultivation realm in the Ancient Era, clearly indicating she was an immortal cultivation genius.

Indeed, if Chi Yao were not an immortal cultivation genius, she could not have become the ruler of the Ancient Continent in the beginning.

At this moment, Empress Chi Yao was with three women and two men. The cultivation bases of these two women and three men were all above Chi Yao's. The two women were at the Sixth Mold of the Immortal, and the three men were at the Seventh Mold of the Immortal, all extremely powerful.

However, they were all dressed in very ordinary clothes without any markings, which could only mean they were intentionally hiding their identities or belonged to some hidden force.

Wang Xiaoqiang did not care what nonsense forces they were. He came to the Ancient Era with the aim of finding this Empress Chi Yao. Now that he finally found her, he would not let go and immediately released his Divine Sense to envelop her.

At this moment, Empress Chi Yao's group was arguing with another faction, with intense words, seeming to have the impulse to take action.

Initially, Wang Xiaoqiang wanted to directly capture Chi Yao and imprison her, so he could later take her to the Ancient Continent to punish her before its people, to wash away the shame of being played. But seeing the situation, he did not act rashly.

He wanted to hear what the two groups were arguing about. To avoid alerting them, he did not approach but instead found a secluded spot from afar, sat down, emptied his mind, merged with nature, achieved Unity of Heaven and Man, and became one with heaven and earth.

Thus, the sounds of heaven and earth entered his ears, and he naturally heard the argument between the two groups.

It turned out these two groups were also here to find the "Instant Annihilation" technique. Empress Chi Yao's group wanted to set up a large formation in Yinqing Ridge to search for the Instant Annihilation Technique Scripture,

while the other group disagreed and blocked them in every way, claiming that setting formations on Yangqing Ridge would destroy Yinqing Ridge's natural landscape.

Yinqing Ridge is named so because of its geological and climatic reasons, resulting in the ridge simultaneously exhibiting two different weather conditions, one sunny and one overcast, almost side by side.

If viewed from afar, one would see one side of Yinqing Ridge bathed in sunshine, while the other side under stormy winds and rain, a rare and strange landscape in this world.

Actually, their true purpose wasn't just to block Chi Yao's group for the landscape reason; it was just an excuse to prevent Chi Yao's group from using the formation to find the Instant Annihilation Technique Scripture.

This group consisted of six people, three men and three women, their strength also above the Fifth Mold Stage of the Immortal Realm, comparable to Chi Yao's group, evenly matched in power; if a real fight broke out, neither side would be afraid.

However, because many powerful entities gathered here, they did not dare to act hastily. Once a fight starts, it would surely result in mutual destruction, allowing others to take advantage of the situation.

As dusk fell, these two groups continued quarreling, neither conceding. Eventually, Chi Yao's side, unwilling to back down, initiated a fight. The two sides clashed, each with six people, evenly matched, fighting intensely.

The Ancient Divine Emperor could find Wang Xiaoqiang at any moment, and Wang Xiaoqiang was anxious. Yet, having not found the Instant Annihilation Technique Scripture, he was also unwilling to leave.

He wanted to verify whether Chi Yao's group could use their formation to find the Instant Annihilation Technique Scripture and thus did not rush to leave but instead watched from a distance, sitting to observe the situation.

In his heart, Wang Xiaoqiang hoped Chi Yao's party would eat some pain since he hated the woman, but also hoped they could win since they still had utility value.

But in the end, the opposing group gained five more members, doubling their power, directly defeating Chi Yao's group, killing one man and one woman, forcing Chi Yao and the other four to flee in panic. The opposing faction, however, did not give the four a chance to escape, especially since the women in Chi Yao's group were quite attractive, which had long ignited the opposing party's evil thoughts. They chased after them, seeing as two Sixth Mold Stage Immortal men caught up to Chi Yao, grinning lecherously as they reached out to capture her, Wang Xiaoqiang acted immediately.

He swiftly flew over; he was now possessing a Super Physical Body, not only physically strong but strikingly fast. Furthermore, his Divine Thought sped faster than any Immortal cultivator, instantaneously reaching behind Chi Yao, swinging both palms flatly, smashing towards the two men, detonating their heads into a mist of blood.

Empress Chi Yao looked back, stunned there, a mix of relief and surprise surged, as she clearly saw the face of her savior was the very person she had always feared, Wang Xiaoqiang.

Unbothered by Chi Yao's astonishment, Wang Xiaoqiang grabbed strongly, instantly refining the Divine Soul and Divine Spirit of the two Sixth Mold Stage Immortals into five strands of Divine Thought.

Empress Chi Yao, so smartly perceptive, naturally did not think Wang Xiaoqiang came to save her. Even if his current actions indeed rescue her, his ultimate goal wasn't that, rather should be to capture her, hence after calming from shock, she grew tense especially upon witnessing Wang Xiaoqiang's strong means, awestruck. Fortunately, acknowledging the truth that she couldn't escape, she didn't flee, instead ingratiatingly saluted Wang Xiaoqiang, "Thank you, Young Hero Wang, for saving me, this girl's gratitude shall never be forgotten…"

Having absorbed and refined the Divine Soul and Divine Spirit of those two, Wang Xiaoqiang turned to Chi Yao with a cold smile, "Little girl? … Empress Chi Yao of the Ancient Continent, reduced to a little girl in the Ancient Era? You're not quite living up, huh…"

As he spoke, he saw the two women from Chi Yao's group pursued by others, nearly losing their lives, then immediately executed the Grasp Stars and Moon Technique, exploding the heads of the pursuers to save the two women.

Thinking Wang Xiaoqiang sincerely saved them, the two women flew over gratefully and reverently, thanked, "Thank you for the rescue, Young Hero. We shall repay you in the future."

"Uh, I'm curious to hear how exactly you plan to repay me." Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled playfully. His white hair fluttered, face full of Shenwei, eyes smiling coldly, his temperament unique, attracting the two women whose eyes shone with fascination, followed by a tender wave, chuckling warmly, "How would Young Hero wish for us to repay you then?"

Flirty exchanges, implying a wish to offer themselves, Chi Yao watched with a hopeless smile, inwardly wondering that they truly took Wang Xiaoqiang as a savior, naïvely believing he would favor them, others might not understand him, but how could she not? Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't one easily swayed by beauty.
