Chapter 345 [Bonus chapter] Wang Jianʼs Bold Plan to Deal with Small Sects

In the midst of the raging battle near the Earth Vein in the west, Wang Jianʼs Scorching Solar Incineration Domain enveloped the battlefield in an inferno of searing solar flames. He moved with unparalleled grace and precision, his every movement a dance of destruction, as he unleashed a series of deadly techniques.

Radiant Solar Flare: Wang Jianʼs palms radiated with brilliant solar energy as he unleashed a blinding flare, incinerating several experts of the small sects in its path.

Solar Flare Crescent: With a swift, sweeping motion, he sent a crescent-shaped wave of solar energy towards his foes, slicing through their defenses and leaving scorching trails of devastation.

The experts of the small sects were not to be underestimated. They resorted to rare pellets, forbidden array formations, and even forbidden techniques in a desperate bid to counter Wang Jianʼs overwhelming power.

One small sect expert, Shen Lian, unleashed the Dark Abyss Elixir, which granted him momentary immunity to the solar flames. He darted toward Wang Jian, attempting to land a fatal blow. However, Wang Jianʼs mastery of the Solar Incineration Domain allowed him to adapt swiftly. He created a miniature solar flare in his palm, causing the elixirʼs effects to wear off prematurely. Shen Lian was engulfed in flames and sent hurtling away.

Another opponent, Lin Zhen, activated the Void-Swallowing Formation, a forbidden array that distorted space itself. This attempt to evade Wang Jianʼs onslaught proved futile, as the Scorching Solar Incineration Domain remained a realm of unyielding power. Wang Jian concentrated his energy, using his domain to pierce through the spatial distortion and strike down Lin Zhen.

Even when an expert named Zhang Wei employed the Forbidden Rite of Phoenix Resurgence, a technique that granted temporary invincibility, Wang Jianʼs tenacity prevailed. He continued to wear down Zhang Wei, refusing to relent until the forbidden techniqueʼs duration ended, leaving Zhang Wei vulnerable to Wang Jianʼs final strike.

As the beautiful and alluring women of the Spirit Affinity Sect observed the battle, their initial awe and respect grew into profound admiration. They watched in silence, their favorability towards Wang Jian soaring. With each enemy vanquished and each blazing solar attack, his legend was etched deeper into their hearts.

”Elders, have you ever seen anyone so incredible?” one of the disciples whispered to the others.

Another elder nodded in agreement, her voice filled with reverence. ”Never before. Heʼs like a god of fire and light, protecting our dominion.”

Their gazes remained fixed on Wang Jian as he fought on, defending their Earth Vein with unmatched valor.

The battle near the Earth Vein in the west concluded with Wang Jian emerging victorious. With a gesture, he dispelled his potent Scorching Solar Incineration Domain, allowing the once-fiery battlefield to return to relative calm. He stood amidst the scorched remnants of his enemies, his victorious smile a testament to his prowess.

As he walked towards the women of the Spirit Affinity Sect, a friendly smile adorned his face. Their faces lit up with joy and gratitude, their expressions reflecting the relief of being saved from certain doom. They rushed towards him, unable to contain their emotions, and embraced him from all sides.

Their soft and voluptuous bodies pressed against Wang Jianʼs sturdy frame as they expressed their heartfelt thanks. ”Thank you so much, Hero Wang Jian! You saved us!”

Wang Jian chuckled warmly in response to their effusive gratitude. ”Youʼre welcome, ladies. I couldnʼt just stand by and watch. But, you know, we should probably give some space. Your Sect Leader might not like seeing you all so close to a man.”

The women exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination. ”It doesnʼt matter,” one of them replied. ”Youʼve done a great service to our sect, and we will treat you with the utmost respect.”

Impressed by their loyalty and gratitude, Wang Jian nodded appreciatively. However, his expression soon turned serious. ”Thank you for your kind words, but we canʼt let our guard down. Prepare yourselves and set up the defensive formations. The small sects might launch another attack, and we must be ready.”

The women of the Spirit Affinity Sect quickly agreed, and under the guidance of their elders, they began to regroup and repair the defensive formations that had been damaged during the battle.

Wang Jian watched them for a moment, knowing that the fight was far from over.

Wang Jian returned to the hall, where he was met with warm expressions of gratitude from the three Sect Leaders. Fairy Qian Shui of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, Sect Master Xue Yi of the Wind Cloud House, and Fairy Ming Lan of the Spirit Affinity Sect all expressed their heartfelt thanks.

”Hero Wang Jian, your timely intervention saved a vital position for us,” Sect Master Xue Yi remarked, his voice filled with appreciation.

Fairy Qian Shui added, ”Indeed, we cannot thank you enough for your assistance today.”

Wang Jian accepted their praises with a modest nod. ”I was just doing what I could to help. But we canʼt rest easy just yet.”

The three Sect Leaders exchanged curious glances, waiting for Wang Jian to continue.

He spoke with a serious tone, ”This battle wonʼt end here. Those small sects wonʼt give up so easily. We need to prepare for their next move.”

A moment of silence followed his words as the gravity of the situation sank in. Wang Jianʼs assessment was undeniably accurate, and the small sects were unlikely to retreat any time soon.

Wang Jian leaned forward, a sly smile playing on his lips. ”Iʼve got an idea,” he began, capturing the attention of the three Sect Leaders.

The Sect Leaders exchanged curious glances before Fairy Ming Lan spoke up. ”What is it, Wang Jian? Weʼre open to any solution that can protect our dominion.”

Wang Jian leaned forward, a sly glint in his eyes, as he shared his solution with the three Sect Leaders. ”Hereʼs what we can do. Since the small sects have banded together in this alliance, it means they have leaders or representatives, right?”

The three Sect Leaders nodded, intrigued by Wang Jianʼs proposal.

Wang Jian continued, ”Why donʼt we use this opportunity to strike at the heart of their alliance? If we can eliminate or replace their current leaders, we can ensure that the new leaders are more amenable to our interests.”

Fairy Qian Shui of the Heavenly Lotus Sect raised an eyebrow. ”Assassinate their leaders? It sounds like a risky plan.”

Wang Jian grinned. ”Itʼs risky, but it could be highly effective. We just need to make sure the new leaders are more inclined to negotiate with us. We can offer them certain benefits and ensure that they wonʼt target the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion.”

Sect Master Xue Yi of the Wind Cloud House leaned back in his chair, considering the proposal. ”Itʼs a bold plan, but it could work. We must act swiftly and covertly, though.”

Fairy Ming Lan of the Spirit Affinity Sect spoke thoughtfully, ”We will need to identify their current leaders and gather intelligence on them.”

Wang Jian nodded, pleased that they were considering the idea seriously. ”I have contacts in the Central Region who can help with this. We can discreetly gather information and then execute the plan when the time is right.”

Fairy Qian Shui finally smiled, her eyes gleaming with intrigue. ”Very well, Wang Jian. Letʼs put this plan into motion. We cannot afford to let the small sects threaten our dominion any longer.”

The three Sect Leaders exchanged determined glances, a newfound sense of purpose stirring within them. Wang Jianʼs suggestion had opened up a path they hadnʼt considered before—a path that could lead to peace for them.

Wang Jianʼs vast network of intelligence contacts, developed through the distribution of the Telephone Artifact, spanned across various regions and nations, including the Central Region. These agents had eyes and ears in every corner, gathering information that could prove invaluable in times like this.

Using the Telephone Artifact, Wang Jian quickly contacted his network, instructing them to provide detailed information about the leaders of the allied forces assaulting the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion. His agents worked swiftly, relaying the names and profiles of the dozen leaders responsible for the attack.

Wang Jian held a list in his hands, each name representing a target that needed to be eliminated discreetly. He understood the gravity of the situation; any slip-up could have dire consequences for the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion.

With the list in his possession, Wang Jian returned to the Three Sect Leaders, ready to share his plan. When they expressed concerns about the danger he would face if he revealed himself during the assassinations, Wang Jian remained calm.

He leaned forward and whispered, ”You seem to forget something crucial. I am a half-devil, capable of using Shadow Abilities.”

With that, Wang Jian seemed to meld into the shadow cast by the hallʼs flickering candlelight. His form disappeared from view, leaving the Three Sect Leaders in awe of his unique abilities.
