Chapter 35

It is not that the martial prowess of the apprentice hunters is so formidable that they can easily crush all the Sleepers who cannot be defeated. Although they dare not risk their lives against Lian Die, they rely on their numerical advantage to constantly compress her space, forcing her into a desperate state of defense.

Breaking through to the realm of harmony between heaven and man relies on enlightenment; one might break through in the next second, yet encountering a bottleneck can trap the geniuses of the Dragon Group for years.

"Hmph! I will only make Japan stronger!" Tokugawa Ieyasu said as he watched Tokugawa Hidetada depart. Hidetada seemed to hear him, pausing for a moment, but then slowly continued on his way.

Jin Ziyan's face turned extremely ugly. Within those demonic mists were Heavenly Demons; it was clear these creatures had been waiting for her in the void outside the Dragon Realm.

The entire battalion took three oaths in unison, then rumbled toward the already deployed Huang Renfan’s Andong Army.

But when that person suddenly vanished, Huang Li'er stiffened, asking in disbelief.

Long Enqing withdrew her gaze, which had been scanning the surroundings with the casual ease of one admiring flowers, water, and scenery.

Li Mao comforted Qin Niang for a while, unable to bear the thought of troubling her further. He instructed her to sleep and headed toward Su Ying’s courtyard. Hearing Su Ying dealing with the two children through the wall, he feared his presence would only cause more chaos, so he left to look for Lan'er.

"What else can we do? Just let things take their course. It’s not a major issue. Of course, if you are truly ostracized by the Heavenly Dao, do not resist," Xuan Jia said.

After Gu Han finished speaking, the White Tiger stepped forth, shattering the stars as it charged toward the Prince of the Demon Realm. A dragon and an elephant then manifested before Gu Han, their steps shaking the heavens, earth, and mountains, destroying all in their path.

The orb of light slammed into the ground, scattering white plasma that covered an area of nearly a hundred meters.

"Yes, for some reason, there have been many more spirits and monsters lately. The number of demons, ghosts, and monsters is several times higher than before. Even some ordinary rivers now have spirits lurking in them," Li Donglai said.

In general, the world of cultivators, especially within large and super sects, remains quite fair.

Du Hepu buried his head in his arms, only raising it after a long while. "Thank you." He did not call him "Big Brother," knowing in his heart that their brotherhood had reached its end.

There was no need to hide anything from Chang Mingsheng anymore. Since he had asked, it meant he already had his suspicions; to keep masking the truth would only invite his resentment. Chang Mingsheng’s gaze toward Mu Xuanzhang became sharp. "A fine excuse, claiming to return to the capital to visit the Emperor and share his burdens."

No matter how hard Gu Han’s Heaven-Splitting Hand struck, it remained unmoved. Not even a single crack appeared; there was only a booming sound followed by no reaction at all.

Since she had returned, they would talk later. Lin Qinghe shook his head and watched her walk into the house. Seeing Lin Zhiping settle the ox cart, Lin Dongxian grabbed a sickle to go harvest rice in the fields. "Father, do you want me to go with you?" To be honest, she hadn't seen it done before and wanted to go along to have a look.

"He has such a lecherous look; you can tell at a glance he’s no good. How could he compare to Fifth Brother? Is his mother blind?" Liu Xing'er was furious, wishing she could walk over and slap Yang Feng across the face.

The Northern Seven, including the Giant and the Dwarf, all looked to the White Crane Elder for leadership. They immediately shielded Yang Qiao, forming a circle around him, half-protecting and half-coercing him as they rushed into the stone gate.

"Feng, can't you just give in to me a little?" Leina was so ashamed she couldn't even lift her head. She seemed to have said something like that, but her mind had been a complete blank at the time; who knew what shameful things she might have blurted out?

The market within Lin Yan City was bustling and crowded. My gaze, sharp as a torch, remained fixed on one place: the Haichuan Restaurant.

Liu Yang glanced at the young man before him, secretly marveling. To maintain such composure in this environment was truly not something a boy of his age should be capable of.

"Instructor Tang is so confident in a shooting contest, he must have a trick up his sleeve. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so sure of himself when facing Leng Yunfeng!" a comrade waiting for the show laughed.

Feng Yu did not take it to heart, unaware that Zhan Xingchen would later lose half his life, with himself being the primary culprit.

Lux giggled and said, "Alright, Brother. Go ahead! Your sister supports you! Once you two are together, I’ll tell Mom and Dad!"

This illusion made little difference to the pirates, but for Tsunade and the others, it was of vital importance; it influenced the attitude of the allied forces during their assault.

The White Tiger, grateful that the Fifth and Xuan Qing had saved it, approached them and licked their hands to show its appreciation.

As night fell, the central mansion of the Uchiha clan—the residence of the Great Elder and the meeting place of the Uchiha council—was silent. Uchiha Fugaku sat there, and kneeling across from him was the most senior elder of the clan, his father-in-law and Uchiha Mikoto’s father.

How the world has declined, with morality crumbling; barging in and engaging in seduction in plain sight.

Leaving the tent, Luo Ke wasted no time in checking on Rick and Lao Fen. Their conditions were much better, and he no longer needed to worry too much.
