29. Traveling Back to the Qing Dynasty (29)

A day later, Chu Xun and the others flew out of the Black Tiger Demonic Clan’s territory and entered the domain of the Ironback Eagle Demonic Clan.

“That is none of your concern.” With that, Chen Zhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued charging toward King Xiling.

“It’s nothing. I’ve eaten things like that before—not to mention raw ones.” He waved his hand indifferently.

Two years after Liu Bei entered Yi Province, he obtained control of it. When Sun Quan failed to reclaim Nan Commandery, he ordered Lü Meng to launch an offensive against the four commanderies south of Jing Province. Lü Meng’s surprise attack was astonishingly fierce; within just two months, he had conquered three of the four commanderies in succession.

“Hey! Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Bai Jinqing had never expected such a violent reaction from him. Regret immediately overwhelmed her. If only she had known, she would never have told him.

While fighting Zhan Jiangliu and lying gravely wounded, the final resort he had thought of was to take out the Rubik’s Cubes and fuse them together.

Once they were in the cars, the four Mercedes sedans started up and set off. Shen Tao and the others naturally occupied the lead vehicle. Cao Tiansheng sat in the passenger seat, while Shen Tao and Zhao Ziling sat in the back.

Chen Dao turned his horse around and rode back. Zhuge Liang dismounted, tied the horse to the pillar beside the mansion’s main gate, and began knocking.

Since that was the case, Shen Tao would certainly attend this auction and take a look. If medicinal pills truly appeared, he could also find out what grade they were.

After retreating more than ten paces, Xia Ma’s body swayed several times, but in the end he forced himself to steady it and did not fall.

Everyone present was dumbfounded, but they had no choice except to obey the general’s order. Moreover, military law had already been invoked. If they defied him, they would likely truly be punished.

After taking out everything she carried, she slowly closed her eyes and formed one abstruse hand seal after another. As her hands moved, fierce winds howled all around them, and a terrifying tornado suddenly appeared on the horizon.

“All right, it’s fine now. From here on, it depends on this young lady!” Bei Buli said, holding the sword he had just broken.

They accepted Zhenxi’s courtesy without reservation. While casting sidelong glances at her, they chattered animatedly with Zhou Shutiao.

A spectacle of the entire internet joining in a massive public denunciation like this might be something others would never encounter even once in their lives. Yet she had been in the public eye for barely more than a year and had already endured it twice.

Nangong Feng gave a disdainful snort. Just as the three men’s fists and feet were about to land on him, he raised a hand and slapped one of them, then lifted his foot and kicked. The three had not even seen how Nangong Feng attacked before they were all knocked to the ground.

Tang Tiantian held Li Xiaoyao in her arms, her heart tense with worry. From what she could sense, everything about Li Xiaoyao appeared normal. Yet despite that, he had suddenly fallen unconscious and would not wake.

The Son of Heaven gazed at Ying Ling with deep affection. “I understand now. I once said that I would fulfill every wish of yours.”

Ying Ling pouted and nodded.

While Zhuo Dingtian and Tang Xiu were discussing their cooperation, Ye Zhusheng kept wondering how Tang Xiu had discovered his identity.

Everyone was curious about why the teaching at Yuelai Martial Academy was so outstanding. Was it because it had twelve instructors at the peak of the Second Tribulation Saint realm? Certainly not entirely. Most of the credit went to the teaching methods discussed and developed by Shiyilang and the others, as well as the nearly inexhaustible supply of high-grade medicinal pills possessed by Shiyilang.

The eunuchs looked at Li Guolou with even greater friendliness. From now on, they were all on the same side—after all, harmony brought prosperity.

Therefore, caution and careful consideration before taking action were undoubtedly the most basic requirements of a competent strategist. He was responsible not only for himself, but also for all the people of the nation he served.

This method was extremely damaging to the body, because the human soul was exceedingly fragile and could not leave the body. Only someone with profound mastery of the Dao and the arts could rely on their own spiritual power to protect their soul from harm. And that was merely the first step; they would still need sufficient power left over to battle the fierce ghost.

“Hand over the Flying Scale Blade. For the sake of the Moon God Palace, I will spare your lives!” the Ancestor of the Xiang Family said coldly.

Shui Lianyue gazed at his retreating figure, then glanced at Lian Mozhen, who was rushing about attending to one matter after another. She thought to herself that, in seven days, some things would have to be settled.

Everyone raised their cups in succession. After taking a slow sip, they all drained them in one gulp. A-Liang was thoroughly enjoying himself by then and, heedless of his capacity for alcohol, began drinking heartily—especially with Senior Strange and Senior Seventh Master. The two of them were extremely important, and A-Liang was determined to entertain them properly.

Another deafening boom rang out. But this time it was not the sound of an elder of the Nangong Family detonating himself. Rather, the Returning Origin shockwave sphere had struck the Nangong Family elder, unleashing power no weaker than the detonation of a Sovereign Emperor.

Listening to the faint voice of the person in his arms, Lin Yang felt as though a five-flavored jar had been overturned in his heart: there was pity, joy, guilt, and more. He did not know what to say to express the remorse in his heart. Alas, he truly had been a fool. Why had it never occurred to him to write Ling’er a letter?

The fiery sales of the new wine were also within Li Xian’s expectations. Of course, what Li Xian cared about most was the speed at which it brought in money.

“He is the Ghost Spider?” Haruhi Suzumiya lightly rubbed her nose. A strong medicinal-herb scent emanated from the Ghost Spider.

Perhaps it was because there had been a fire in the stove that he shuddered instead, much as a place covered in ashes must once have held a fire.

Although Zhong Kui was unremarkable in appearance, he was learned and highly skilled in martial arts. Legend had it that when he traveled to the capital to take the imperial examinations, he should have earned the top ranking, but was rejected because of his ugly appearance. In a fit of fury, Zhong Kui smashed his head against the examination results and died.

The ceiling of this tomb was uneven, with some recessed sections plunging so deeply into darkness that the bottom could not be seen. I could not help thinking of the corpse chamber at Guazi Temple, and I had the unsettling feeling that those pitch-black openings might conceal creatures like corpse beetles.

Amid the roaring sound of rushing water, we slept until the afternoon. With our strength restored, we gathered our things and prepared to enter the water. The Bottled Imp and Old Hu were wounded, after all, so Fatty and I went down first to investigate the exact location.

Qingyou could sense that Nian Wei and Rou’er had made considerable progress in their martial arts. Rou’er, who had ranked last before, had improved greatly in both endurance and speed. It seemed that the mental cultivation method was remarkably effective.

There were seven people in this household: one elderly man, two pairs of daughters-in-law, and two grandsons. They also owned around fifty sheep and five sheepdogs. The moment we stopped at the gate, the sheepdogs began barking at us.

But the attack Luo Mo launched at Lu Yu remained unchanged. Its tremendous force struck directly into Lu Yu’s back.

Immediately afterward, Ning’er and Qiaorui entered carrying all the necessary washing and grooming items. Seeing that I could no longer remain lying down, I had no choice but to get up. Ning’er and Qiaorui came over, guided me to the dressing table, and pressed me down into the seat. I rolled my eyes helplessly.

At that instant, Jielong’s long sword came slashing down and struck the broken blade. Unable to withstand the pressure, the broken sword sank downward. Chen Xun drove a punch toward Jielong’s right foot. Keeping his long sword pointed down, Jielong suddenly twisted his right foot in midair, evading Chen Xun’s left fist while kicking toward Chen Xun’s abdomen.
