Volume 1, Chapter 59: Mentioning No Names Means Death, Mentioning Names Means Dying Even Faster!

"How dare you hit me?" Su Xiaowan covered her face as she lay on the ground, completely stunned.

Ever since she entered the Demon-Slaying Holy Land to cultivate, her journey had been nothing short of meteoric. Upon rising to the Inner Court, she single-handedly established the Xuan Palace, earning the adoration of countless disciples.

Even when facing He Kuangzun and Li Xianfeng, Su Xiaowan had never suffered such a grievance.

Yet today, she had been publicly slapped across the face by a notorious good-for-nothing of the Holy Land!

"Chu Tianxing! You..." Qi Mingyu started, but his words were cut short, frozen by the terrifying glare in Chu Tianxing's eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Mei'er looked on with utmost disdain. "I said it before—when it comes to anyone taking this, it certainly won't be a coward like you."

Hearing this, Qi Mingyu was consumed by shame and fury, yet Chu Tianxing's gaze was as chilling as...

Furthermore, this world possessed unique monsters; battling them could enhance one's comprehension of spells, insights into cultivation, and bring all sorts of benefits. If one could achieve a single sudden enlightenment, breaking through cultivation shackles and barriers to successfully form a golden core and enter the Golden Core Stage would truly be no difficult task.

"Young Master Gu, please calm down." Zhan Ying bowed slightly as he offered counsel. When he had first verified this scene, he had been furious as well.

Normally, Qian Mo's tongue would have been sharp enough to retort instantly, but right now, though Qian Mo's expression remained awkward, upon hearing Long Qi's words, his brows furrowed deeply, yet he still said nothing.

He would always torment Feng Qingyao until she was utterly exhausted and begged for mercy before letting her go. However, considering she was pregnant, after finishing once, he would torment her no longer.

Everyone felt a sense of foreboding as they realized this match had inexplicably turned into a tutelage battle where Qin Ruixi was instructing Yun Jingyao.

In truth, she did not want to keep hiding it like this. Keeping this secret locked in her heart had caused her unbearable agony for a long time now.

She was in love with Shangguan Xiu, but Shangguan Xiu clearly could no longer accept her. Staying here would only make him angrier and more irritated.

By this time, lamp-lighting hour had long since passed. Wind-shielded lanterns were already hung under the eaves, and a pale, faint light filtered through the window, faintly revealing the tall figure standing beneath the western wall.

Seeing the unease lingering in the depths of her eyes, Pei Yibo ultimately worried for her, rendering him unable to cast blame or remain cold.

"Is this the character of students from the God Class?" Long Yunzhan snapped back to reality, his palm sweeping through the air as he launched a direct attack toward Si Minghan's position.

"We haven't even gone in yet, and we're already receiving such treatment. Why do I have a rather ominous feeling about this?" Looking at the barrier that had a wide opening, Lin Xiu smiled with a hint of bitterness.

Qin Jingyu blinked at her, tucked the hairpin into her bosom, gently parted the branches with both hands, and peered outside through the gap.

I nodded, considering it my agreement, and chatted with her about mundane household matters for a while before finally leaving the guidance office. Stepping out of the building and barely walking two steps, my phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. After a brief moment of hesitation, I answered it.

Considering that time was running out for the dungeon instance, Li Zhi directly abandoned the subsequent quests and began searching for Galon.

Yet Li Zhi forced his body to endure, pulling himself up from the ground, and desperately retrieved a silver scroll from his pocket.

"Clang, clang, clang..." Qi Shaoguang released an energy shield, blocking all the flying darts completely.

Qin Jingyu darted forward in a single bound, clamped one hand over her mouth, swung her arm, and dragged her into the shadows. Her other hand was not idle either; with a snap, she triggered the mechanism of the Wind Shadow Ring and pressed it against the adversary's neck.

Amidst the conversation between Lin Xiu and Caidie, the Holy Successor also completed the fire-ignition process and proceeded to refine the spiritual materials.

Presumably, the snake's tail had flung someone away, accidentally striking a hidden mechanism that caused the stone wall to flip and shift.

Qin Jingyu's consciousness instantly returned. For some reason, the power of the Langya Divine Sword had been steadily diminishing on the journey from the Wasteland to Miyun. Lacking martial arts, rushing back would only render her a burden and distract him.

Wang Mazi was born into a family of grave robbers. From the day he was born, his family had witnessed every kind of peril within tombs, so they did not want him to follow this trade. That was why they named him Wang Changping, wishing for him to live a long, safe, and peaceful life.

"Isn't Lady Mudan around? Since you've borrowed her clothes, you might as well borrow some capital as well," Lu Fubai said as a matter of course.

—Although he had remained unconscious for many days since being poisoned, the toxin had actually drained much of his vitality, leaving him severely depleted of energy and in even greater need of quiet recuperation.

In contrast, Yang Qian, who had also hit the target but failed to pierce through it, instantly dropped a notch in comparison.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun consulted with one another and decided that their allied forces should temporarily separate, with each taking a division to hunt down and suppress the enemy.

"Dr. Ruan!" Just as Shi Hui was about to head out for lunch, she saw Alan supporting Wu Qiaojun as they walked over.

Only Yinzhen had not had an easy time of it lately, truly guarding the Prince's Manor day in and day out, pouring tea and serving water without delegating tasks to anyone. For this reason, the Grand Primary Consort had personally served her husband, on several occasions aggressively driving the Second Aoge away, earning the hearty amusement of the younger brothers.

In the night sky, a nearly full moon hung high. One wondered if the moon seen when looking up in the Snow Country looked just the same.

If he were to let his subordinate soldiers fight troop against troop, let alone the five hundred thousand troops Master Wen spoke of, a single ten-thousand-strong Black Cavalry unit under Jiusi would be enough to slaughter their way all the way to Zhaoge. However, Shi Hui could not afford to relax; Master Wen and several of his top generals possessed mystical powers and were not easy to deal with.

"...It seems you mentioned it," Yin Shixiu murmured, his gaze falling upon the closed operating room doors.

"Zhou Yun, there is no need for surprise. Right now, your power has not yet returned, your various avatars have not yet merged, and your highest divine sense has not yet integrated; thus, the veil of prenatal delusion still remains. But once everything returns and merges, all things in the universe, causes and effects, will be within the palm of your hand!" Clearly, that miraculous vision was intentionally shown to Zhou Yun by that immortal.

Herein were enshrined island nation soldiers who had died in wars of aggression. The modern Emperor came here to seek the protection of the heroic spirits, having been utterly exhausted by a recent string of catastrophes.

Yet looking at Liu Luan before him, who upon their very first meeting could not restrain himself from testing his martial arts, his depth of strategy and self-cultivation were somewhat lacking. He hardly seemed like such an extraordinary figure; perhaps a greater mastermind was hidden behind him.

Returning to the manor after reporting on his private talk with the Empress Dowager, Xu You could not help but want to complain—had he somehow been handed the villain's script?

The New Year's Day holiday lasted three days, and Guan Jian and I seized the opportunity to go on a thorough furniture-shopping spree. This time, guided by Dad and accompanied by a professional designer, we picked out furniture to our complete satisfaction. Everything was set up and put in place, leaving us only to air out the rooms for three to five months before moving in.

Ling Tian did not notice anything amiss either, so he drove away from the villa and headed toward the Coral Five-Star Hotel.

Yet how could this Jindu Immortal stop there? Even more potent forces followed closely behind; trailing the destructive properties of wind and fire came endless peals of thunder.

Moreover, Luo Hao enjoyed immense prestige within the Bian clan. Just his previous act of producing those top-tier dharma body seeds had won over a vast number of the younger generation of the Bian clan.

Yet, after careful thought, Ye Fei figured that since he was a man after all, he shouldn't act so cowardly at a time like this.

"Brother Qin Feng, everyone in the village is waiting for you to eat. Let's go quickly." For some reason, a faint blush spread across Wan'er's face.
