Three days later.

Jin Futu summoned ten heroic big shots of the Rogue Cultivator World to Wind Cloud City.

These ten rogue heroic figures were all dominant overlords, with formidable influence and profound cultivation bases. The lowest among them possessed the Ninth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage, or were at the Half-Step Immortal King level, while the highest had even reached the Five Elephant Realm of the Immortal King.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

These ten heroic figures came because they trusted Jin Futu's character; most of them only feared Wang Xiaoqiang without truly respecting him. They certainly held no veneration for him.

After all, Wang Xiaoqiang, the grand marshal of orthodox cultivators, was a sworn enemy of the loose cultivators.

Furthermore, he killed Fengyun Tian, crushed the Fengyun Family, and seemed like a nosy meddler. Although the Fengyun Family was indeed despicable and deserved eradication, such matters should be handled within the Rogue Cultivator World, not by an outsider.

Wang Xiaoqiang forcibly occupied Wind Cloud City and used its resources to nurture his troops, which dissatisfied them further. However, intimidated by Wang Xiaoqiang's strength, they dared not voice their discontent. This time, their visit was aimed at discovering Wang Xiaoqiang's true intentions in Wind Cloud City.

Wind Cloud City.

City Lord's Mansion.

Main Hall.

Wang Xiaoqiang sat in the main seat of the rear hall, Jin Futu on his left, and the ten rogue heroes sat in two rows below.

Though they were seated there, their expressions were grim and extremely dissatisfied, their demeanor cold and detached.

The entire hall. The atmosphere was somewhat stiff, extremely unharmonious.

Jin Futu smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "All of you are prominent figures in the Rogue Cultivator World. The purpose of gathering you today is twofold: firstly, to introduce a remarkable person to you, and secondly, to discuss the structure and future development of the Rogue Cultivator World, aiming to achieve a harmonious and brilliant state..."

Before Jin Futu could finish his words, the big-bearded rogue hero of the Five Elephant Realm Immortal King level stood up and said, "Elder Jin, there's no need for introductions; we've heard of Wang Xiaoqiang's notorious name... As for the structure and future grand plans of the Rogue Cultivator World, naturally, we loose cultivators will discuss it ourselves. How could an outsider meddle..."

Hearing this, Jin Futu appeared slightly embarrassed, swallowing hard, and said, "Haha, King Hu Ci, your impatience hasn't changed, I haven't even finished my words, and I haven't introduced Wang Xiaoqiang to everyone yet..."

"What's there to introduce? Wang Xiaoqiang is a cultivation prodigy, an Immortal Dao hero, the grand marshal of soldiers and horses... I admire him greatly..." King Hu Ci said with a cold sneer, bowing slightly to Wang Xiaoqiang but rolling his eyes, "However, he is ultimately an orthodox cultivator; what does he have to do with us loose cultivators? ..."

Jin Futu stepped forward two steps and said, "King Hu Ci, listen to me..."

But King Hu Ci waved his hand, glaring, "I don't want to hear you. To be honest, Elder Jin, we came today to hear your views on the future structure of the Rogue Cultivator World, not to meet Wang Xiaoqiang..."

Jin Futu hesitated, feeling rather helpless as he realized that despite his age, King Hu Ci remained impatient, and his rejection of Wang Xiaoqiang came as a surprise to Jin Futu.

Jin Futu looked at Wang Xiaoqiang helplessly, who had a cold smile on his lips. Suddenly, with a flick of his sleeve, his figure appeared in front of King Hu Ci. Startled, King Hu Ci retreated three steps, his face full of vigilance, "You, what do you intend to do?"

"I don't intend to do anything. I just want everyone to sit down calmly and have a talk..." Wang Xiaoqiang said with a cold smile.

"Talk? What's there to talk about between orthodox cultivators and loose cultivators? Moreover, you don't have the qualifications to talk..." King Hu Ci, seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang had not attacked him, assumed that Wang Xiaoqiang dared not take action, thus regaining his arrogance.

"I lack qualifications?" Wang Xiaoqiang's smile faded, his gaze turned cold, his hands opened and closed as rolling Elephant Qi surged forth, manifesting two Thunder Elephants, lightning crackling over their bodies with resounding power.

King Hu Ci knew that Wang Xiaoqiang had slain Fengyun Tian of the Immortal Emperor Stage with composite strength, but it was rumored that Wang Xiaoqiang achieved it by using his body refinement prowess and utilizing a Blood Lotus to amplify his blood Qi, doubling his strength.

Therefore, King Hu Ci was somewhat skeptical of Wang Xiaoqiang's strength, and now that he saw Wang Xiaoqiang possessing merely the Two Elephant Realm of the Immortal King level, he planned to suppress Wang Xiaoqiang's show of power with his Qi Practiced cultivation.

Thus, he too rotated his hands, immediately forming five Figurative Wolf Shadows, with colossal wolf bodies, blood-red wolf eyes, and white, terrifying wolf fangs, looking fiercely menacing, far beyond ordinary wolves. The key was these five wolf shadows brimmed with intense evil Qi, overwhelmingly fearsome.

The five wolf shadows formed a stark contrast to Wang Xiaoqiang's Thunder Elephants,

the wolf shadows appeared wickedly fierce, while the Thunder Elephants were solemnly majestic, embodying righteous might.

Though King Hu Ci wielded five Figurative Wolf Shadows, compared to Wang Xiaoqiang's Thunder Elephants, they appeared slightly inferior.

But King Hu Ci thought otherwise, and with a triumphant smile, he pushed his hands forward, sending the five wolf shadows aggressively charging at Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang gestured forward as well, his two Thunder Elephants thundering out. Though appearing slower than the wolf shadows, they moved with grave steadiness, each motion accompanied by thunderous explosions resonating in the hall, shaking it to the point it seemed the roof might be blown away.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Amidst a series of explosions, the two Thunder Elephants halted four of the wolf shadows. Upon collision, the lightning on the Thunder Elephants burst forth, shattering the wolf shadows into nonexistence.

The fifth wolf shadow bypassed the Thunder Elephants, rushing at Wang Xiaoqiang with bared fangs and claws, but Wang Xiaoqiang sneered, thrusting out his right hand, producing a crack, lightning explosion shattering the wolf shadow into fragments.

Having crushed King Hu Ci's five Figurative Wolf Shadows, Wang Xiaoqiang's Thunder Elephants charged forward toward King Hu Ci, their momentum unstoppable despite their slow speed, exhibiting a powerfully vigorous, relentless vigor...

If those Thunder Elephants collided with King Hu Ci, it surely seemed they could smash him to pieces.

King Hu Ci turned pale with fright as all the assembled rogue heroes shot to their feet, eyeing King Hu Ci with shock and concern, secretly breaking a sweat for him.

Just as the two Thunder Elephants were about to crash into King Hu Ci, Wang Xiaoqiang withdrew his hand gesture, and the Thunder Elephants stopped abruptly...

King Hu Ci was terrified, his face ashen, breathing heavily, cold sweat pouring down as his eyes filled with relief from narrowly escaping disaster. He let out a long sigh of relief, collapsing limply to the ground as if drained of all strength.

With a wave of Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, the two Thunder Elephants shattered into fragments, turning back into Elephant Qi, which he reabsorbed into his body like a great whale drawing in water.

A Two Elephant Realm Immortal King directly defeating a Five Elephant Realm Immortal King, and purely with Qi Practice cultivation, was beyond expectation,

In truth, Immortal Kings cannot solely measure strength by realm; their power disparity is closely related to the figurative objects within them. For example, Wang Xiaoqiang's figurative object was the Thunder Elephant, whose quality far surpassed that of the Figurative Wolf Shadows; hence, five wolf shadows were no match for two Thunder Elephants.

It was unfortunate for King Hu Ci that, during his ascension to Immortal King, the quality of his figurative object was subpar, though there wasn't much he could do; it's much like natural talent. Some are born with four Spirit Roots, while others have none and amount to nothing.

People say all beings are equal, but they have never been equal.

"King Hu Ci, now, do I have the qualification to speak with you?" Wang Xiaoqiang stepped forward two steps, pulling King Hu Ci up. (To be continued.
