Chapter 56: A Big Bird

Having finished these preparations, I lowered my head in brief contemplation, arched my eyebrows, and with fingers still stained with blood, dotted the eyes of the fierce tiger crouching beneath the golden Buddha's throne.

Watching the holy beast, the Silver Knight, and the Frozen Crown soar away toward the Three-Eyed Plane, Roy nodded inwardly, a faint smile touching his lips.

Wu Zhi cast a knowing glance at the two Taoist priests, understanding that Zhang Xubai's phrasing was so tactful primarily to give him a graceful way out. If Wu Zhi were to smoothly step down and hand over the unorthodox Taoist Xie, he could be certain that the scowling Lin Lingsu standing beside them would instantly turn as amiable as could be.

I turned the tables and threatened him, at which he looked utterly astounded, completely stripped of his former arrogance.

In regard to this solemn topic, our banter came to an abrupt halt the moment a guard delivered the meals to the doorway and announced his presence. After all, this signaled that a new threat had emerged once more, meaning we would have our hands full yet again. But before that, we still had a multitude of matters to attend to.

"I can't make heads or tails of it either. Sigh, one simply can't be sure about a place like this," Second Baldy sighed repeatedly.

A Holy Light materialized battle crystal required centuries of condensation by a supreme powerhouse. Even if Alice were to fly unceasingly without sleep for five years, she might not even exhaust a fraction of it.

"Hehe! Once I get back, I'll learn to read. I'll have my literate subordinates come over shortly," Tu Laoqi scratched his head with an embarrassed flush.

By this time, those eight meta-soul artifacts were gradually drawing close to entering the Dissolution Array. Ninth Master Ling and the Old Fox Fairy cooperated seamlessly; even the rhythm of their breathing was identical. Ling Xiao could not help but think that these two must have felt they met each other too late in life.

Yet, what Gu Tingjue wanted to know even more was just how casual Gu Tingjue could possibly be, to actually fall so easily for Ji Tiantian's casual flirtations.

As for what followed, it was simply a matter of waiting. They only needed to wait for bloodshed among the common folk, for the situation to escalate, and for the incident's impact to spread across both banks of the Boundary River. Naturally, someone would then step forward to deal with this General Iron Sickle, overthrow the arrogant deity's idol, win the hearts of the common people, and replace him.

Naturally, these were not hatched naturally. Instead, it required shrouding them with spiritual consciousness for at least three hours every day for eighty-nine consecutive days. Once hatched in this manner, the platinum bees would automatically recognize Baotian as their master, creating a bond far more secure than any contract.

The ice coffin was already within a hair's breadth of being shattered—at most an inch away. With the eight-armed king borrowing the power of the dark-armored king, it was broken open in a single, concerted push.

They kept wondering why the lord, who should have been attending a meeting in Country L at this hour, would appear here.

Feng Yuetong's spiritual consciousness slowly guided Feng Qingyan toward the location of the konjac flowers and the wild hare.

The Fourteenth Princess Xianxu can trace her lineage back nine generations to Prince Su Hooge, whose father was none other than Emperor Taizong of Qing, Hong Taiji.

"Alliance Leader, how should we fight?" Nangong Qinyin leaned close to Baotian and asked in a low voice, while Xie Chunyang also crowded near.

"Then, has Your Imperial Highness ever received such an invitation?" Jimo Yun looked toward Daxiang, changing her question.

At this, the Demon King's previously tense face finally blossomed into a slight smile, though it lasted only for an instant. The earth dragon suddenly let out a resonant roar, unleashing the mighty force of churning rivers and seas. With a single roll in place, it gave everyone a profound understanding of what the legendary "earth dragon turning over" truly meant.

Having lived in this world for so long and witnessed an abundance of bizarre and unfathomable phenomena, what are gods? What are immortals? They are merely beings stronger than ordinary mortals.

The majestic and imposing golden sword Qi finally met its match. As the two collided, wave after wave of destructive turbulence erupted.

Wang Xue was left speechless. Cui Xiaoli's expression of yearning made all the words she wanted to say choke right back into her stomach.

"Terrible luck. Following such a pernormal freak, every other squad has finished their drill and dismissed, while he is still self-amusingly driving us to death," Dai Feng muttered resentfully, in low spirits as he looked at Lin Hai, who showed no intention of stopping.

"If she still fails to weather that tribulation, and I am not by her side, her soul and spirit will truly dissipate forever," Song Beiyi did not dare to imagine a life without her.

Jian Liang took note of the opposite man's table manners, then glanced down at her own starved-ghost-like devouring style, and rolled her eyes fiercely.

As for the definitive assurance my uncle spoke of, truth be told, I am no deity; how could I possibly predict the future? It was merely a precaution. Since such a possibility existed, I could not possibly gamble the lives of this entire family.

Despicable humans—their inner thoughts can sometimes be so perverted, just as Lu Xian's thoughts would occasionally turn filthy.

On the second day of the Ningyuan military mutiny, Li Jingwei received the news. At the time, he was purchasing coal in Tangshan. Hearing that Ningyuan troops were rioting over unpaid provisions, he immediately took the 30,000 taels of silver originally intended for buying coal, rushed through the pass by forced marches, and hurried to Ningyuan.

What Yinzhen did not know was that Kangxi had indeed originally intended to entrust Yinzhen with the task of training the army. Unfortunately, Crown Prince Yinzhen had already hurried to see Kangxi ahead of time.

"No one was attending to me, so naturally I had to leave. I earn hundreds of thousands a minute; who is going to compensate me if I am delayed here?" Chen Mingluo displayed the diamond-inlaid gold watch on his wrist and snorted.

By this time, the four of them were certain that the luminous figure was Su Yu. Therefore, the four individuals launched their attacks without holding back. However, after prolonged attacks yielded no results, Elder Yue was the first to fall back, distancing himself from the teleportation formation.

An emperor never bows to his subjects, and a master absolutely never begs mercy from his slaves.
