Chapter 35

With Li Yang taking action, He Qingchuan immediately felt the cold, invasive energy within his body being rapidly suppressed. Overjoyed, he let go of all mental defenses, assisting Li Yang in refining and dispelling the icy aura.

Lu Ping listened to Lady Xu’s words, noting that she seemed indifferent to Li Shishi’s background, and even appeared to hold her in high regard.

Therefore, once the spiritual jade arrived, she would certainly share some with Zhao Kang, keep the lion’s share for herself, and leave the remaining crumbs for Su De.

Wang Xingxin then recalled that in history, Empress Zhangsun did indeed suffer from a respiratory ailment, specifically asthma. He vaguely remembered that the Empress passed away from this condition in either the eighth or ninth year of the Zhenguan era.

Moreover, those participating in this Spirit Martial Grand Competition were not only spirit chefs from Donglai Prefecture but also many from other regions.

Amidst the white light, the golden immortal elder led several others in a desperate charge. A light screen sprang outward; the elder, his body glowing with golden radiance, roared frantically, pushing his cultivation to its absolute limit as the screen bulged at a single point, rapidly extending outward.

The Heavenly Sword Demon King trembled, suddenly snapping out of his trance. Upon seeing Nalan Qiqi, his aged face flushed a deep red.

The colossal demonic beast lay sleeping just two thousand li ahead. In another two breaths, Lian Haiping would arrive.

The Core Hall stood above the Inner Sect; only the absolute elite, selected through the Inner Sect examinations, were permitted to enter.

“Father, what nonsense are you spouting?” As soon as Master Yin finished speaking, Yin Zhixue hurriedly reached out to cover her father’s mouth. Her face turned bright red in an instant, and with wide eyes, she glared at him.

Internal energy swept swiftly through her meridians and surged into her dantian. She was completely helpless, like a lamb beneath a wolf’s claws, possessing no power to resist and forced to submit to the violation.

Although Ji Lengquan was renowned and a high-ranking Profound Sect master, in Mi Dan’s eyes, he was merely a merchant’s son reeking of copper coins... What right did such a person have to sit as his equal?

No one knew what the consequences of such a turn of events would be; all they could do was wait.

Within the academy, the students had long since forgotten who these people were. Only the elders and those of similar standing were privy to their history. Yet, they all shared one common trait: they were all incredibly, terrifyingly powerful.

Speaking of this, Lady Fang sighed deeply. Liu Han understood—there were internal conflicts within the Cao Gang, but were these conflicts the reason for the murder of Fang Zhen?

Although Ling Xiu and Yun Mu had spent less than half a month together and shared no blood ties—not even being friends—in Ling Xiu’s heart, Yun Mu was the one who had changed his destiny, the only person who had truly been kind to him. Therefore, he cherished the bond dearly.

Now, they were known to the people of this world as “Apostles,” invaders detested by the entire world.

Outstanding talents from various nations, even those dubbed the future successors of their respective lands, flocked to this island nation in the far east, hoping to study at this world-renowned academy.

Yet, no one noticed that the aura of the blood-colored vortex was subtly connected to the entrance of the Sacred Land ruins.

Firstly, Ling Feiyang was unwilling to implement the cruelty of blood refinement; furthermore, he had no need to cultivate a killing machine through such brutal means in such a short time.

The spacious floor was devoid of clutter, polished until it shone. White tiles lined the walls, and under the glare of the lights, the room appeared remarkably clean and orderly.

Although most people had returned to their rooms to rest due to the death that had occurred, many were still enjoying their nightlife in the game rooms, bars, and even the hotel lobby.

Numerous confessions were posted online. As the saying goes, youth is the season of yearning, and these posts vividly recounted how people had fallen in love with Ren Zixian.

Gu Baozhu covered her face, letting the water stream over the backs of her hands, the sound of rushing water filling her ears. She had no way to command the vehicles in the castle; how was she to escape?

Though she did not know why President Tang had personally attended Cheng Jie’s concert, as long as she performed well, securing endorsements or resources would be nothing more than a single word from him.

Watching Gu Baozhu walk out of the conference room with a relaxed expression, the manager nearby let out a sigh of relief. Stretchers and doctors had been prepared, yet unexpectedly, everything had ended peacefully.

The hues of these cyclones were originally transparent and dim, the most common form of the world’s primordial energy.

The price list was three times higher than the new rates at the main building. Tang Chennan stared at his account balance for a while, struggling with the decision for a moment.

Although Jiang Lai did not see anything improper in Sister Yu’s behavior, she subconsciously scheduled Sister Yu’s night watch for the middle shift, hoping to look after her and ensure her safety through this arrangement.

Instance Prompt: You have successfully eliminated enough Azure-Eyed Beetles to temporarily alleviate the suffering of the Divine Tree. However, as the beetles continue to swarm endlessly, you must resolve the problem at its source. Explore the Azure-Eyed Cave in the direction from which the beetles are flying.

Officials who adopted a policy of appeasement fared better; although they could not immediately establish effective rule in the local areas, they did not incite particular resentment or rejection from the local Western Qin people.

Upon entering the door, Yan Baihu discovered that Yuan Xi had not gone to sleep either, but was instead pacing back and forth in the courtyard.

“In this world, there is never a true dead end; there are only desperate mindsets. As long as the spirit does not wither, even the most desolate land will become a vibrant oasis,” Li Ji remarked.

This invisible pressure caused all the pirates blocking the path to involuntarily retreat step by step.

The Nine Palaces Realm was the only place that could offer him aid under the current circumstances; ten times the time meant that this year would be equivalent to a decade for others. Spells he had learned could be mastered, and new techniques could be practiced to proficiency—a feat impossible to achieve in a single year under normal conditions.

When leaving the capital, the Eighth Prince had also wanted to come along, but in the end, Ma Yong insisted he remain in the capital. Should any unforeseen changes occur, he would still have a chance to ascend the throne.
