Gong Ziyu saw Fan Renruo's true body escape and felt anxious. She decisively said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "You go after his true body, I'll handle the avatars."

As she spoke, she was about to charge toward the six avatars, but Wang Xiaoqiang pulled her back, saying, "Be careful of the avatars self-destructing."

Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyu's heart trembled, and she realized that Fan Renruo, to save his life, had left behind six avatars to block them. It was highly likely he would make the avatars self-destruct, taking them down with him.

Thinking of this, she felt a wave of fear. At the same time, she secretly admired Wang Xiaoqiang's meticulous thinking.

"What should we do? If Fan Renruo escapes, finding him again would be harder than ascending to the heavens." Gong Ziyu anxiously said.

"Don't be anxious," Wang Xiaoqiang said, and then he released the Patterned Beast. The Patterned Beast, following its master's willpower, roared fiercely and flapped its wings toward the six avatars.

Then, Wang Xiaoqiang said to Gong Ziyu, "You hold off the avatars for me, I'll go after his true body. Remember, do not let his avatars get close to you."

With that, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately flew around the left side of the human wall, bypassing the six avatars, and chased after Fan Renruo's true body.

On the way to the six avatars, the Patterned Beast opened its mouth and sprayed a flame. The flame did not charge at the six avatars but instead blocked the left side of their position.

The six avatars, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang bypassing from the left side and trying to fly to intercept him, found their path blocked by the palpable flames.

The six avatars were extremely anxious. After the flames disappeared, when they hurriedly chased after Wang Xiaoqiang, a gust of Golden Wind blew, like a tempest, blowing them backward.

Bypassing the blockade of the six avatars, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately pursued in the direction Fan Renruo had fled. By now, Fan Renruo's figure was already out of sight, and he could only release his Divine Sense.

Upon releasing his Divine Sense, Wang Xiaoqiang found that Fan Renruo had already escaped over a kilometer away. If delayed any longer, even his Divine Sense would lose the trail. Without hesitation, he continued his urgent pursuit, tightly locking onto Fan Renruo's figure with his Divine Sense, and then released the Demon Droplet.

The Demon Droplet shot out from the Sumeru Ring, speeding toward Fan Renruo like lightning with unparalleled swiftness.

...

To save his life, Fan Renruo did not hesitate to abandon his six avatars and escaped over a kilometer in one breath, finally breathing a sigh of relief and slowing down. His face showed a look of survivor's luck.

But soon, he sensed something amiss. A small but dense wave of Demon Qi was approaching from behind. Startled, he turned his head and saw an indistinguishable object shooting toward him.

Fan Renruo was horrified, releasing his Divine Sense to probe, but his Divine Sense was disrupted by the object, making it impossible to lock onto.

The next moment…

Thud!

The Demon Droplet pierced through Fan Renruo's chest, creating a bloody hole.

With another thud, the Demon Droplet spun out from his back, bringing with it a spray of blood.

Fan Renruo's body trembled, his eyes bulging wide with terror and despair. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell, body shaking.

Wang Xiaoqiang flew over, glanced at the falling Fan Renruo, and with a thought, the Demon Droplet shot down again, diving into Fan Renruo's body.

Before long, Fan Renruo's still-warm body rapidly shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the Demon Droplet emerged from Fan Renruo's body, his body had already shriveled into a mummy-like corpse.

The mummified Fan Renruo fell heavily to the ground, dead beyond recognition.

The Demon Droplet, now engorged with Fan Renruo's Essence Blood and Spiritual Power, turned bright red and translucent, resembling a blood-colored crab and exuding a bizarre aura.

It spun continuously in apparent excitement, brimming with immense demonic power.

Wang Xiaoqiang extended his hand, and the Demon Droplet flew back into the Sumeru Ring. Then, Wang Xiaoqiang's figure flashed as he returned to the skies above the North Pole Gate.

Avatars rely on the true body for existence. With the true body dead, the avatars will also perish.

The sudden disappearance of Fan Renruo's six avatars alerted Gong Ziyu that Wang Xiaoqiang had killed his true body, filling her with joy.

She turned her gaze to the northern sky where Wang Xiaoqiang was flying back. In the distance, she saw him approaching.

"Little Qiang, thank you!" Gong Ziyu sincerely expressed her gratitude as Wang Xiaoqiang arrived.

"Ziyu, between us, there's no need for such formality." Wang Xiaoqiang stepped onto the void, naturally embracing Gong Ziyu's fragrant shoulders.

Gong Ziyu's demon body slightly trembled but did not push him away because she felt no rejection. Rather, a sense of closeness and naturalness, even the desire to lean against Wang Xiaoqiang's chest, filled her.

Unconsciously, their relationship grew a bit closer.

Their hearts drew nearer by a margin.

"Little Qiang, this war was instigated solely by Fan Renruo, unrelated to others. To avoid needless casualties, let's withdraw the troops as soon as possible," Gong Ziyu suggested, looking up at Wang Xiaoqiang with a tone of consultation.

Now, she had come to fully rely on Wang Xiaoqiang as her pillar, meaning she regarded him as her man, wanting him to decide on everything.

"Alright, withdraw the troops!"

Wang Xiaoqiang decisively responded.

With that, Wang Xiaoqiang released Gong Ziyu, and she flew down to convey the message to all disciples to cease fighting.

Wang Xiaoqiang projected his voice with force, warning the North Pole Gate:

"All members of the North Pole Gate, hear me! Fan Renruo, to satisfy his selfish desires, waged war against the Moon Crescent Palace, causing the wrongful death of many disciples. I have now killed Fan Renruo. If anyone is dissatisfied, they can seek revenge against me, Wang Xiaoqiang, at any time. I will be waiting!"

His voice thundered like a bomb, making the entire North Pole Gate buzz. The disciples of the North Pole Gate were so frightened they didn't dare to breathe loudly, and even the elders and vice sect leaders were too scared to utter a word.

After Wang Xiaoqiang finished speaking, Gong Ziyu also withdrew the troops. Just as Wang Xiaoqiang was about to return to the Moon Crescent Palace with Gong Ziyu, a figure suddenly flew over and called out from afar, "Sect Leader Wang, please wait, I have something to say..."

Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze flickered, and he stopped.

Gong Ziyu also stopped, turning to look at the newcomer, who was an elderly man with white hair, presumably an elder of the North Pole Gate.

The elder flew closer, saluted Wang Xiaoqiang, and said:

"Sect Leader Wang, I owe you an apology. I'm Shi Su, a member of the Elder Council of the North Pole Gate. First, let me apologize for the war instigated by Fan Renruo for his selfish desires. His death is well-deserved...

But this matter has nothing to do with us. Now that Sect Leader Wang has killed Fan Renruo, we accept this with complete submission and no complaints. However, our North Pole Gate is now in a weakened state, having suffered significant losses. With no leader, the vice sect leaders will surely fight over the position, and external forces will take advantage of this, plunging our North Pole Gate into dire straits... The consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, I audaciously request Sect Leader Wang to oversee the situation for our North Pole Gate and choose a new sect leader."

Wang Xiaoqiang frowned upon hearing this and coldly said, "This is your matter, not mine. Moreover, as an outsider, I have no authority to intervene..."

Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was reluctant to help, Shi Su hurriedly interrupted, "Actually, we hope Sect Leader Wang can govern the situation and take charge of the North Pole Gate..."

"Me... as your sect leader?" Wang Xiaoqiang said surprisedly.

"Yes," Shi Su nodded heavily and said,

"Sect Leader Wang, with your profound cultivation base and status as an imperial official favored by His Majesty, having you in charge of the North Pole Gate would resolve both internal and external conflicts and ensure rapid growth and development for our sect. This would be a great benefit for all of us in the North Pole Gate." (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com) with recommendation and monthly tickets.
