Chapter 39

When these four revealed their identities, they had seemed united as one. What, then, could they possibly have argued over for so long?

Fortunately, Zhang Zhijie had slept poorly the night before. By the end, he was exhausted enough to sink into a deep sleep, where he dreamed a particularly sensual dream involving Princess Qingning, Xu Jiaying, Madam Shen, Ziyi, Yiye, Juan’er, and more.

Another thunderous boom rang out. My blade of aura was effortlessly dispersed by their rapidly spinning bodies. The two then slammed violently into the ground, shattering a huge boulder beneath them.

Ta Xue rubbed its head against Li Dongsheng’s body. It did not understand why Li Dongsheng was being so affectionate, but it certainly enjoyed the feeling.

“You—you’re how did you know?” Qin Aoshuang was stunned when Chen Hao exposed the Qin family’s guardian beast, the Qilin Yun.

In essence, it meant that the battle ahead had stabilized. The army was to slow its march and, above all, ensure an adequate supply of provisions.

At the same time, Tian Ni was asking Liu Fei the very same questions. Liu Fei answered each one in turn, leaving Tian Ni delighted.

This unnamed palace was not large. Its entire structure was transparent, making it seem extraordinarily crystalline. Stranger still, the palace had been carved from a single enormous, unidentified stone.

“Ancestor, I know my own limits. But in this battle, I have no choice.” Wu Yi’s eyes were filled with unshakable resolve and determination.

In an abandoned residence five miles from the Prince of Yue’s estate, Murong Yao stood with his hands clasped behind his back, unable to conceal the anxiety between his brows.

“All right, all right. Then let’s not talk about your brother and sister-in-law anymore. As long as everything is fine!” Xiyue suddenly felt somewhat nervous.

The servant curled his lip and could not be bothered to speak to her any longer. How had he never noticed before that the Second Madam was so vulgar and uncouth? Which of the other madams in the household had worse conduct than she did? Why was she the principal mistress of the house? This was for the best—he would see how she dared act so arrogantly in the future.

It was daytime, and they had plenty of time. After finding an inn, they went out and began searching Eastwood City for clues.

Flipping through the contacts above, she still could not resist sending a message to both Chen Han and Zheng Yilu.

Murong Chen had originally been unwilling to let He Yumo return to her homeland, but after everything that had happened, he had come to terms with it. Perhaps that was where she truly belonged.

“I was just wondering what you said to Mother Lan. Why was she willing to give you so much money?” Wei Da finally voiced his confusion.

The Great Priest of Hailong drew his power from the souls of countless people. The stronger he became, the more souls he must have consumed. It was said that he had already devoured the souls of more than a hundred thousand people. If one day he absorbed a million human souls, even the heavens might be unable to defeat him.

On the day before the selection of the imperial consort, the people from Wan Yue Workshop delivered the completed garments. After receiving Nan Xueyu’s generous reward, they departed in high spirits.

“They are the famed Twin Heroes of Sacred Mountain, recommended to us by General Zhao,” Zhu’er said with a smile.

A terrifying howl rang out. Even the void seemed to split apart in an instant, while the violent force of the attack made everyone’s hearts tremble faintly.

“Uncle, shall we move now?” Behind Zhao Bingkuan, a special police officer with two stripes on his shoulder asked the question.

“How long has it been?” Steward Jiang asked at that moment. He had watched Zhuang Qingyu grow up, and he was just as worried about her.

The Ancient Phoenix Bell rang again. Its sonic force was even mightier this time, sweeping across the heavens and earth in every direction like ten thousand armies, like mountains roaring and seas surging.

Warhorses shrieked, their agonized cries rising one after another. Flames filled the sky, and the ceaseless roar of artillery made the Yunxia army’s advance painfully difficult.

The Five Peaks Tokens were not merely a standard by which achievements were judged; they also determined the amount of time one could use the Immortal Source. The more Five Peaks Tokens one possessed, the longer one could cultivate within it.

Xia Xiaowan showed the gatekeeper three invitations. He immediately became solemn and respectful, personally escorting the three of them to their reserved seats.

However, some of the Taiqing Divine Gate disciples who had followed Elder Jiang Man to provide aid had begun to sense that something was amiss. After all, no one who could become a disciple of the Taiqing Divine Gate was a fool. Hao Jian’s intentions could not withstand close scrutiny.

Even the Three-Pass Sword Venerable, who had brought forth three swords of his own life essence, frowned gravely when he saw a hundred thousand swords shooting through the air toward him. He felt an immense pressure and a powerful sense of danger.

“An Ultimate Strike Shatters the Divine Wilderness!”

Chu Haoyun sensed that, after the demonic shadow’s annihilating power had been depleted by passing through the previous spatial realm, it had reached its lowest point. It was also the weakest annihilating assault ever transmitted through the Dark Will.

During these days of court, the ministers could hardly avoid exchanging meaningful glances. Those with close personal ties even leaned together to mutter a few words in low voices.

At that moment, elsewhere in the secret realm, Mu Yi suddenly halted in the midst of his headlong advance. He raised his head toward the sky. The Formation-Breaking Overlord Spear had sunk step by step into the formation. Before long, a heaven-splitting, earth-shattering boom erupted from the heights, and the sky shattered like a mirror.

“Therefore, I used my legitimate identity to enter Country R and infiltrated the Sakuragi family, where I began investigating the origins of this matter.” Song Yue coughed twice. The injuries on his body were still difficult to endure.

But this secret record of Daoist techniques could never be revealed to Guo Yi. If outsiders learned of it, would that not invite disaster and bring about his death?

“There are more and more monsters. I don’t think I can hold on much longer.” Song Zheng gasped heavily, raising a hand to touch the tomb-raiding talisman tied around his neck. A trace of helplessness flickered through his eyes.

“There’s no need for Aunt to worry about this. When I get married, I’ll be sure to invite you.” Li Wei made it clear that he did not wish to discuss the matter further.

There was nothing more to say. Even Luo Hong Batian wore the expression of a spectator, his thoughts unconsciously settling on Chu Haoyun. He had already begun considering how to use Luo Hong Yuxin to bind this mysterious young man to him.

“Find them for me. I want to tear them out by the roots!” Chu Haoyun’s eyes were bloodshot. Countless swarms of insects surged forth, and all the Yuan-Devouring Aberrations poured out of their nests, spreading in every direction.
