“Senior Brother Chu, Su Xiaowan has come to see you again.”
Shangguan Han entered first to report. “I heard Su Xiaowan say that Zhou Meier and Murong Ao approached you at the behest of the Demon-Locking lineage.”
At these words, Chu Tianxing’s pupils contracted. He waved a hand and said, “Ask her to come in.”
A moment later, Su Xiaowan entered the courtyard alone and walked straight up to Chu Tianxing. She bowed and said, “Chu Tianxing, I was wrong before. I shouldn’t have said such rude things to you, much less stopped you from approaching the Holy Maiden. I hope you can forgive me. I’ll be more careful from now on!”
Chu Tianxing frowned slightly. “The reason you asked me to meet you tonight was simply to come and apologize? The Holy Maiden instructed...”
The arrival of wealthy merchants and distinguished scholars in the capital had caused Wanchun County’s economy to flourish. Yet those flower-chasing, honey-seeking men from a place far too dangerous for White Family Village had also become a considerable headache for Ruoxin.
“Wang Yue, you’re finished! I’m going to tell Auntie that you sneaked into my room and took liberties with me!” Tang Jie’s words carried an unmistakable threat.
Just then, a blade of light shot straight toward Lin Tianyao’s throat. A flash appeared before his eyes, and the demon sword suddenly erupted as a vicious sword struck at him.
Muttering to himself, Tiaotiao climbed back into bed. He had begun to lose heart. These past few days, he had been living a shamelessly indulgent life and had been thoroughly drained, unable to summon even the slightest energy.
“I heard that Cui Jiali used to be Lady Zhengye Commandery’s personal senior maid and managed the enormous rear court of the Marquis of Martial Virtue’s residence on her behalf. Such a clever and capable woman somehow managed to take a wrong turn and stray so far, only to happen upon Father Emperor. Could it be that she was born destined for greatness?” Gan Ran sneered.
This was the first time Mao Leyan had entered Prince Jing’s residence openly through the main gate. The last time she had rescued someone from there, Liu Zezhong had sworn viciously that he would take revenge. He had hated her to the core, yet now he had to plead with her in the most obsequious manner. It seemed that what he wanted was probably the explosives in her possession.
The Thoughtless Beads were, in fact, a sacred relic of the Bu clan. Legend had it that they were several bead-shaped bones left behind after the corpse of the first high priest of the Bu clan was cremated. Although they were the Bu clan’s holy relic, they had been lost more than a hundred years ago when the clan fled the capital. How were they supposed to find them?

After the meal, Auntie Xiuyun came specially to convey the Empress Dowager’s verbal decree. Zheng was occupied with something and had said that there was no need for them to come and take their leave; they could simply disperse on their own.
“Cousin, you know him. You should know which young lady he’s pursuing, shouldn’t you?” Jiang Xiaoxiao’s eyes were filled with envy. If Jin Guangyan treated her that way, she would probably be so delighted that she would soar into the heavens.
But Leng Yan did not know that An Keren had deliberately offered herself up to be kicked. She had known she was pregnant yet said nothing, and instead of protecting her belly, she had allowed someone to kick her. It was clearly intentional.
For some reason, Banxia suddenly calmed down as well. Perhaps Yan Hui seemed so dependable that she felt there was nothing this man could not accomplish.
Wolf secretly counted himself lucky. The tribe had initially been unwilling to invite the statue of the God of War, but because of the chieftain’s insistence, they had brought it back after all. Lacking both food and clothing, Wolf became a believer.
Changes in spiritual power could not escape the notice of attentive observers. Anyone with experience knew that this meant he had entered the Golden Core stage. From that moment on, Zhao Feng could truly be said to have transcended the limits of mortal beings and begun advancing toward a higher form of life.
In the blink of an eye, April twenty-second arrived. On that day, Wei Zheng no longer wore an anxious expression; instead, his face was full of excitement.
“I estimate that some disciples from the great clans of Qingya City may join us by then. It would be good for everyone to get acquainted,” Ling Li remarked.
Abandoned mining tunnels appeared from time to time on both sides of the valley. This place had once been a large iron mine. After the Great Cataclysm, it had been mined briefly before being abandoned because of transportation and safety concerns.
After his experiences modifying the Primordial Star during its novice period, as well as the various modifications carried out on the Planet of the Dead, Zhao Feng had developed some understanding of what so-called modification points meant.
At first, the guards stationed at the manor gate did not believe the words of Xiao Yutian and the other two. The sect master of the Spirit Beast Sect was a truly famous figure throughout the Eastern Wasteland. Even the Dongfang clan had to act according to his wishes.
Although he still had not found Zhong Qing, several years had passed, and he did not know whether his feelings for her had faded.
Seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance before continuing to display their cultivation as Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Seizing every opening, they edged toward the very front. Even within the same great hall, sitting at the back and sitting at the front were vastly different experiences.
Some time earlier, he had ordered people to search everywhere for remedies. He had carefully stored away many medicines capable of strengthening the body.

“Neither,” the Black Profound Old Daoist said, shaking his head. Whether one lived alone, withdrew from worldly affairs, or avoided all karmic entanglements, no one could escape being drawn into the next great cosmic calamity. Even if the Black Tortoise clan secluded itself in a remote corner, would the other Chaos Demon Gods simply stand by and watch without forcing the Black Tortoise clan to take sides?
The moment Xiao Rushi began speaking, he asked one question after another. Tao Yanxi slowly shook her head, picked up the paper beside her, and tapped it.
“All right. Just correct it from now on. For the moment, let’s hunt some living creatures to fill our stomachs and restore our strength,” Di Jiang said.
That was indeed the case. Advancement from the World of Death brought about a comprehensive enhancement of all the living creatures within it.
While the two whispered together, Suna stared fixedly at them and raised A-He’s danger level by another notch.
One would never know without jumping, but one jump was enough to cause a fright. The surface of the river looked crystal clear, yet the riverbed was crimson with blood. There were far too many corpses, and the stench of decay was nauseating.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Liu’s expression changed slightly. He hurriedly nodded, indicating that he understood.
Nan Song’s voice came in broken fragments, yet every word was perfectly clear to Xie Junyou. He merely furrowed his brows, then abruptly scooped her up and carried her toward the bedchamber.
Wasn’t that so? In the entire Central Heaven World, he was the only person who knew Nezha. Moreover, Nezha’s cultivation as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal allowed him to sweep across the entire world without the slightest restraint.
Many people were already impatient to spend their entire fortunes purchasing a piece of Table No. 4—or a log placed upon it.
When Zhang Gui heard this, he broke into a cold sweat. Every word Yan Qimu said was accurate, yet he had no idea how Yan Qimu had learned that Lu Yincong had secretly been moved by him and confined on this mountain.
However... Standing behind a concealed pit that had been dug in advance, Zhang He wore a grim expression mixed with a trace of confusion. More than three thousand men under Chunyu Qiong had charged forward without forming a battle array. Why had they not formed one?
