The Guest Elder of the First Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage flipped up like a carp, having already stood up. He gazed in surprise and suspicion at Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing the other transform from a First Transformation Cultivation Immortal into one with the Eightfold Body of the Immortal Venerable. In this odd moment, he immediately realized that the person before him was indeed Wang Xiaoqiang.

Yet Wang Xiaoqiang, under his full-powered strike, seemed barely hindered, leaping up unfazed. While shocked, he couldn't help but be impressed, and when he saw Wang Xiaoqiang advancing toward him instead of retreating after being thwarted, the Guest Elder found it all very peculiar...

"Hmm, it was evident from the recent strike that he was at a disadvantage, so why does he dare to come up and challenge?"

He didn't know that Wang Xiaoqiang just intended to escape into the bamboo forest!

"Heh heh, Wang Xiaoqiang, you may not be big, but your courage surely is, daring to compete with me..."

The Guest Elder sneered as he flew toward Wang Xiaoqiang.

A silent sneer crossed Wang Xiaoqiang's face. With a thought, he summoned Little Qing, Feng Biluo, and Gong Ziyu from the Sumeru Ring.

The Guest Elder jumped in surprise upon seeing three women suddenly appear by Wang Xiaoqiang's side, causing him to halt abruptly.

"Everyone attack together, kill this person!" Wang Xiaoqiang ordered, immediately taking out the Sun-Shooting Bow and firing an arrow at the Guest Elder.

Little Qing, Feng Biluo, and Gong Ziyu promptly charged at the Guest Elder upon hearing the order.

"Wow, a Heavenly Maiden descends to earth!" The Guest Elder was amazed upon seeing the three women summoned by Wang Xiaoqiang, each an extraordinary beauty.

"Humph, with just them, they can easily kill you!" Wang Xiaoqiang boasted, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

"Just three women? What can they do to me?" The Guest Elder swept his Divine Sense over them. Upon seeing their cultivation, he chuckled disdainfully, moving swiftly toward Wang Xiaoqiang, ignoring the arrow flying at him.

When the arrow reached him, he condensed Soldier Aura in his hand and sliced toward the arrow.

With a boom, the arrow exploded. The lightning attached to the arrow did not penetrate the Soldier Aura on his hand, causing him no harm.

Having chopped down the arrow, the Guest Elder smiled smugly and lunged straight at Wang Xiaoqiang.

As the Guest Elder was about to close in, Gong Ziyu unfolded the Folding Fan Magic Weapon and waved it toward the Immortal Sage.

Whoosh!

A fierce wind arose, forming a tempest blowing towards the Guest Elder.

The Guest Elder was blown back ten meters by the gale before barely stabilizing himself. He turned his gaze sharply toward Gong Ziyu, his eyes gleaming coldly. Then he charged toward Gong Ziyu.

Wang Xiaoqiang took out the Heaven and Earth Whip and lashed it toward the Guest Elder.

Instantly, the Guest Elder was entangled by the Heaven and Earth Whip. With another flick, Wang Xiaoqiang flung the Guest Elder away,

but as he was thrown ten meters out, the Guest Elder steadied himself once again.

The First Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage truly is extraordinary; even with all the magic treasures wielded, he remains unchallenged.

"Hmph!! Wang Xiaoqiang, you do seem to have a way with women, but from now on, I'm afraid you can only meet them in the Underworld." The Guest Elder sneered coldly, condensing another layer of Soldier Aura over his body, pouncing at Wang Xiaoqiang once more.

At this moment, Little Qing charged forward, daringly flying over the Guest Elder's head. With a shake of her Extinction Flower, eight blossoms flew from seven directions towards the Guest Elder.

The eight Extinction Flowers sealed all paths of escape for the Guest Elder.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately shouted, "Everyone, run!"

Saying so, he pulled a bewildered Feng Biluo and made a dash toward the depths of the bamboo forest.

Gong Ziyu quickly followed by dragging Little Qing along.

The Guest Elder, enveloped by the Extinction Flowers, felt his body surrounded by the eerily lethal aura of extinction. Although they were merely eight small flowers, the aura was terrifying, making him dare not act rashly. Yet, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang escape, he became extremely anxious. Just as he tried to move, he noticed his own body changing; his shoulder, closest to a flower, was turning ashen-gray at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Being of the Immortal Sage Level, he possessed keen eyesight. This scene startled him greatly, prompting him to quickly use Soldier Aura to cut off a chunk of his shoulder that had turned ashen.

Blood and flesh flew.

The pain of self-mutilation was hard to bear; the Guest Elder gritted his teeth and endured. But seeing Wang Xiaoqiang disappear from sight made him even more anxious. Yet, surrounded by Extinction Flowers, he had no way out. In desperation, he performed an earth-escape technique and burrowed underground, emerging elsewhere.

But by the time he emerged, disheveled and covered in dirt, Wang Xiaoqiang was nowhere to be seen.

Just then, the leader arrived with everyone else. Seeing the Guest Elder in such a state, he demanded, "Where is Wang Xiaoqiang?"

"Escaped, escaped." The Guest Elder pointed toward the misty bamboo forest with frustration.

"Escaped?" The leader eyed him suspiciously, "An Immortal Sage can't subdue an Immortal Venerable?"

"Boss, you don't understand, he has three women who are all very formidable..." The Guest Elder wore a pained expression.

"Women...?" The leader gave him a dubious look, "You can't even handle women? Are you still a man?"

The Guest Elder's face flushed red.

Everyone chuckled with disdain and mockery.

"Stop laughing, chase them!" the leader shouted, leading the way toward the bamboo forest.

Everyone took to the air to follow.

When they arrived over the bamboo forest, trying to track Wang Xiaoqiang's whereabouts, they found things complicated. The mist-filled forest obstructed their vision, and their Divine Senses were disrupted, becoming paralyzed.

"Damn it, what is this place!" the leader cursed in frustration.

"Boss, what should we do? We can't see anything."

"Damn it, our Divine Senses can't detect anything either!"

"Fly upward, go higher," the leader instructed, ascending first.

Everyone immediately followed him upward.

At five hundred meters high, the leader ordered a stop, gathered everyone, and said:

"Wang Xiaoqiang must be using this bizarre bamboo forest to hide. We can't find him, but we can wait for him to come to us. This forest, large as it may be, is not larger than our Divine Senses. Now let's spread out, each cover an area, and extend our senses to envelop the entire forest. I don't believe Wang Xiaoqiang can stay in there forever..."

"Yes!!" The group responded, quickly dispersing and extending their Divine Senses to enshroud the bamboo forest.

Although the forest stretched for miles, it couldn't withstand the power of twenty-three almighty Senses, eventually covering the entire expansive bamboo area.

Wang Xiaoqiang, with the three women, ran wildly within the mist-covered bamboo forest and only when they felt safe did they gradually move towards the New Moon Illusion.

Feng Biluo looked remorseful and lamented, "Little Qiang, I'm really useless; I couldn't help you at all."

"Even without strength, you can always offer moral support," Wang Xiaoqiang patted her fragrant shoulder, smiling reassuringly. "In fact, the higher one's cultivation, the more cautious they are in battle. Releasing three stunning women at once is a psychological shock... Don't mind what that person said, deep down there's still caution. Haha..." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote on Qidian.com for support. The support fuels my motivation.
