Wang Xiaoqiang's thoughts were accurate; although Guan Qingsi was shocked and suspicious, she would not spread this matter. She quietly asked, "Little Qiang, your pill refining speed is really too fast. What are you using to refine them?"

Wang Xiaoqiang stood up, wrapped his arm around Guan Qingsi's fragrant shoulder, and said, "You can't know that now. But as you have seen, my strength in the Immortal Realm may not count for much. Yet at this cultivation speed, presumably it won't take long before I can dominate the Immortal Realm..."

Guan Qingsi nodded her head, sincerely believing Wang Xiaoqiang's words. With such cultivation speed, it would take only a few years for him to be promoted to Immortal Emperor, which indeed presides over the Immortal Realm.

But beyond the Immortal Realm, there exist higher planes. Legends say that on those cultivation stars, reside Daluo Golden Immortals who are even stronger than Immortal Emperors. Some powerful Daluo Golden Immortals can kill an Immortal Emperor in seconds.

Thinking of this, Guan Qingsi said, "Little Qiang, I believe that it won't take long for you to become supreme in the Immortal Realm. However, you must keep cultivating and advance… You must know that there's always someone better, there's always another heaven, an Immortal Emperor can't preserve themselves..."

Even though Guan Qingsi was Wang Xiaoqiang's woman, she still cared, encouraged, and spurred him like an elder sister, warming Wang Xiaoqiang's heart. He replied, "Hmm, Guanguan, you're right, but don't forget, I'm now at the sixth layer of Vajra Body refining cultivation. I believe through continuous effort, I will soon ascend to the 'Undying Golden Body', and then, my physical form will be undying and immortal, incredibly powerful..."

Guan Qingsi, upon hearing this, felt relieved and smiled, "Yes, but Little Qiang, while the Undying Golden Body guarantees physical immortality, it doesn't guarantee the immortality of the soul..."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Then I shall redouble my efforts to cultivate my Body Refining Cultivation to the 'Nirvana Realm'. Then, I can undergo Nirvana Rebirth like a phoenix, reincarnate across generations, and be undying forever..."

"Hmm." Guan Qingsi nodded hearing this, feeling profoundly relieved, but with a touch of sadness, said, "Little Qiang, you can reincarnate eternally, forever unending, but unfortunately I can't accompany you through reincarnation. Won't you feel lonely?"

Wang Xiaoqiang embraced Guan Qingsi's body, saying, "Guanguan, why think about such distant matters? It's enough for us to be together now... as long as you don't feel lonely."

Guan Qingsi's jade-like arms wrapped around Wang Xiaoqiang's neck, kissed him on the forehead passionately, and thinking about it, indeed, living a lifetime is already enough, and now both of them are at the Immortal Sage Level, capable of living for ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years is not short. Why seek too long and increase sorrow?

The two indulged in affectionate moments inside the tree house, and when they emerged, the soldiers were still seated in cultivation, most soldiers with a Superior Pill in front had not yet finished refining, showing sweat on their foreheads, obviously struggling.

Jiang Yingxue and Sai Ya came over; Jiang Yingxue was quite jealous upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang with Guan Qingsi. However, she hid it very well, not letting it show in the slightest.

Sai Ya looked pitiful, with tears in her eyes, knelt before Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly, asking, "Great Commander, I want to know my brother's current situation?"

Wang Xiaoqiang felt somewhat pitying seeing this, but he didn't want to deceive her, directly saying, "Sai Ya, your brother wasn't as obedient as you. He betrayed me; I asked him to help find a Spirit Mine, yet he signaled the Demon Army, intending to harm me. Naturally, I had to kill him for self-preservation..."

Sai Ya's delicate body trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, speaking in a trembling voice, "You, you killed him."

"Indeed." Wang Xiaoqiang said, "He deserved death!"

"Then I beg you, kill me too." Sai Ya painfully closed her eyes, filled with a look of utter despair.

"I don't want to kill you." Wang Xiaoqiang weighed the situation, making a compromise and concession, saying, "I can let you go. Go on then..."

"Commander, we can't let her go; she knows quite a bit about the Yellow Dragon Empire. Letting her return would be detrimental to the Empire," Jiang Yingxue analyzed:

"Moreover, if she returns to the Demon Sect, are you sure the Great Demon King will treat her kindly after being a captive? ..."

Wang Xiaoqiang, upon considering it, agreed. The Great Demon King had suffered a defeat and lost his eyesight, surely suppressing a lot of Fire Qi inside, Sai Ya having been a scout for the Demon Army and a captive, returning would not only provoke suspicion but likely be used as a scapegoat by the Great Demon King.

After pondering, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Sai Ya, not only will I not kill you, I'll grant you freedom. You choose for yourself; if you don't want to return to the Demon Sect, you can come with me to the Human Clan..."

Wang Xiaoqiang's words stunned all three women. How could a demon cultivator woman enter the Human Clan without courting death?

"Little Qiang, taking her to the Human Clan is the same as killing her," Guan Qingsi interjected.

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "I have my ways, as long as she agrees."

Sai Ya was speechless, tears streaming down, grief-stricken by her brother's death, confused, unable to make a decision.

"You need not rush, think it over slowly, when we return from the campaign, you can make your decision then."

After speaking, Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze flashed, suddenly fixating on Sai Ya's hand, specifically on her ring finger, where there was a storage ring.

Then, without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed Sai Ya's hand, removing the storage ring from her ring finger.

Sai Ya seemed somewhat panicked seeing this, ceased her tears, her face pale.

Wang Xiaoqiang placed the storage ring in his left palm, waved his right hand to erase the Divine Consciousness Imprint on the ring, and then bound it by Blood-Recognition, extracting all items from the ring's space.

Suddenly, several items fell out from the ring, including a dress, some dry rations, two Demon Qi Pills, and a Jade Talisman.

Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze fell on the Jade Talisman, showing a suspicious look, picked it up from the ground, took a closer look, and saw three tiny characters on it: "Signal Talisman."

Wang Xiaoqiang saw this, a sly smile flashed across his face, then he squeezed it tightly, and with a pop, crushed the Signal Talisman.

A stream of light shot from the broken Jade Talisman, flew into the sky, and exploded like fireworks, transforming into dazzling multicolored lights.

After doing this, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately relayed the order to all soldiers to cease cultivation, rest in place while waiting for orders.

Then, he expanded his Divine Sense intently observing the situation within five thousand miles.

The Signal Talisman is a very important item in the Demon Sect, only carried by demon cultivators with special identities. Once the Signal Talisman is used, the Demon Army will come to investigate.

Sure enough, not long after the Signal Talisman was sent out, a troop of Demon Army approached this location, but when a thousand miles away, they fled again, apparently sensing a massive Spiritual Energy Wave here, knowing to retreat when faced with difficulty.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't give them the chance to escape, immediately activating the Ring Spirit Formation to pursue and attack.

A distance of a thousand miles bridged in an instant.

Under the fierce attack of the Ring Spirit Formation, this troop of Demon Army didn't dare to engage, fleeing in panic towards Snow Lotus Mountain.

Wang Xiaoqiang was not in a hurry to attack and kill, he commanded the troops to follow leisurely behind, aiming to cast a long line to catch a big fish. (To be continued.
