Chapter 155: The Great Emperor of the Western Peak

"My surname is Zhang, and people in the martial arts world call me Third Young Master Zhang."

The person on the other end repeated it once more.

Third Young Master Zhang?

The name sounded remarkably familiar, yet for a moment I couldn't place it, so I said, "I don't know you." With that, I prepared to hang up the phone.

Third Young Master Zhang hurriedly said, "Qin Yingying is my..."

The sounds within the room lingered for a long time before finally subsiding. Xi Zhan sighed, holding the person in his arms tighter, reluctant to move even an inch. Their perspiration mingled together—a perfect union of strength and grace.

"... " Prime Minister Chu was left speechless. Based on the timeline calculations, the incident most likely occurred right after the message was transmitted through the Yu family's trade routes. For such a severe problem to erupt in so short a span—superficially speaking, if he did not find a scapegoat, he would be the only one to suffer the misfortune.

"That's only because my secret manual never cheats anyone, young or old," Su Xiao replied with a smile. Qing Kou rolled her eyes at him in disdain, cast a sideways look that clearly telegraphed "go eat shit," and without another word, plunged back into the fray.

Furthermore, since he intended to use himself as an experimental subject, he had no choice but to contract the plague. Having failed to cure the patients even with the vital energy of the Five Elements, his bold decision to actively infect himself with the plague meant he might very well pay with his own life.

Yet, once Fan Yu put it that way, he could rein in his stray thoughts and properly deal with the current situation.

The Heart-Disturbing Ghost told Li Hexian that the secrets hidden within the Hidden Sea Divine Boat were simply too vast. With his current level of cultivation, venturing into other regions would be tantamount to suicide. As Li Hexian's realm ascended, it would slowly reveal the subsequent secrets to him.

During every stage of a cultivator's breakthrough, the spiritual clouds and spiritual qi generally adhered to a certain scale.

Liu Fei's "potent medicine" not only restored Liu Zhi's memory but also improved Liu Hao's mental condition, leaving Li Yunru, Liu Yulian, and Han Ying thoroughly amazed.

"Not a bad look in your eyes, but it's utterly useless," Xue Hong sneered. Without warning, several scorpion tails slid out from behind him, sharp and insidious.

Moreover, from beginning to end, this person had not resorted to any weapons, nor even channeled any primordial energy; it was purely the raw strength of his physical body.

After finishing lunch, Xu Fang prepared two catties of dried scallops, thought about it for a moment, and added another two catties of regular scallops. Accompanied by Chen Daniu, he hurried toward the city.

Following Xu Fang out of the clothing store, she assumed it was time to leave, but unexpectedly, Xu Fang took a turn and led her to the Estee Lauder cosmetics counter, buying her a complete set of cosmetics.

The cascade of prompts left Chu Yi feeling rather awkward. Should she consider herself a jack of all trades and master of none? Glancing at the remaining three minutes on the timer, she clicked the hidden option for all the prompts. Her true prowess was something she knew well enough; there was no need to crush other people's confidence, was there?

Insiders in the culinary industry looked forward to the rivalry between the two hotels with even greater anticipation. Originally, they assumed Xiulan was relying entirely on the promotional advertisements they had previously purchased, but they never expected such unconventional marketing tactics.

The onlookers nearly spat out their tea upon hearing Zheng Xiulan's words. They had foolishly anticipated a grand, heartbreaking melodrama once the principal figures made their entrance, never imagining Zheng Xiulan would be so delightfully straightforward.

Qing Teng's target was the Soul Lord. Standing four to five zhang away, he could easily parry the blow. However, the golden leaf was mere inches from Xia Xun—less than three inches away! No matter how formidable a person might be, it was impossible to react instantly and block the strike! Besides, Xia Xun was attempting to injure himself in order to shatter the Heaven-Veiling barrier; who could possibly stop him?

All this time, Xiao Jie had believed that reaching the "Monarch" battle physique and attaining the "Divine Body" would be enough to rival the gods. Yet he never anticipated that the "Monarch" battle physique would have so many distinct tiers. It seemed the road ahead of him was still exceedingly long and arduous.

"Those factions would rather keep the information under wraps now, but they'd better not regret it later!" Chu Yi thought resentfully to herself. After all, the bounties for hiring others to kill Boss monsters had to be purchased with Glory Points; to say she wasn't frustrated would be a lie.
