Chapter 29

"If you don't strike now, you're dead!" Yiye shouted, yet he did not hold back his hand.

Sure enough, the phone screen lit up instantly, and a familiar melody began to play. Ran Siyan grabbed the phone almost immediately, but upon seeing the caller ID, his heart sank.

It was over. His lifelong reputation was ruined just like that, and the culprit was currently sleeping soundly on the floor.

A multitude of afterimages appeared all around the Fourth Division Captain. In the instant they manifested, dozens of sword strikes and blade auras converged upon him, slashing and piercing from every angle.

At noon, after Feier slowly finished feeding me, I drifted into a hazy sleep. When I woke up, Feier, who had been sitting by the bed, had been replaced by Ouyang Wen.

Xie Hongli still held a spark of anger, but it was extinguished by Xu Qingmo’s unexpected embrace. After savoring the warmth of his hold for a brief moment, she pushed him away and floated out the door, leaving behind a sentence that seemed to vanish into thin air.

"I’m just going to take a look. Wherever there are people, there will be shops. I’ll buy you a pair of shoes," Xu Qingmo said.

"I am not afraid. I set out to cultivate precisely to challenge others—not just master swordsmen, but to challenge my own limits. I fear no danger," Kuina declared firmly.

So, they all knew that Ling Ziyao hadn't gone to Mount Huang? Does this mean that the Nine Towers of Yin Mountain are not located at Mount Huang?

"Oh my, Wanqing, you used to be such a gentle girl. How did you become so violent just a few days after we married? I feel like I've been deceived," Jing Yan complained, clutching his head with exaggerated drama.

The reason Qin Wan advocated for simplicity was to lead by example and curb the increasingly extravagant culture of vanity and one-upmanship; it was certainly not a roundabout way to treat herself harshly.

"Fine, then I’ll spare you for now," Jiang Yichun said, his voice languid and devoid of tension.

Unfortunately, his mission had changed. Taking control of the Ming Cult only required defeating these people; as for those who wouldn't listen, Chen Mo didn't seem to have any intention of letting them off.

This massive pit was formed by the Kun-beast constantly clawing at the earth. The ground was covered in deep claw marks, arranged in sets of three, deep in the middle and shallow on the sides.

Xiao Jinlin felt a persistent, gnawing itch in his heart—an itch that had lasted for four years and had become increasingly difficult to control as time went on.

Chen Mo shouted into the empty air with hatred before leaping into the inn’s main hall. The Star Sect disciples were currently fleeing, but the girl, A'zi, stared at Chen Mo, blinking, without moving an inch.

After hearing the explanations from Liu Lingfeng and He An, Lu Fei finally had a realization. So this thing was like a "metal detector"? Thinking of this, his heart stirred, and he immediately channeled the Shennong Cauldron.

The Buddha says: Fate is created by oneself, and one's appearance is shaped by the heart. All things in the world are but illusions. If the heart remains still, all things remain still; if the heart does not change, all things do not change.

Today, people cast aside the matters of the late emperor to curry favor with the new monarch, scrambling to divide the sweet fruits brought by his ascension. In the future, they will cast him aside just as easily to please the next emperor.

Jiang Yichun couldn't help but sigh. That affair had truly been a mistake on his and Ruozhu's part. Looking at Jiang Zhen before him, he secretly resolved to look after the boy more in the future.

As for his relationship with Gu Mocheng, it could no longer return to its former harmony due to these events. Furthermore, Elder Luo knew full well that although Gu Mocheng felt much regret toward the Luo family, he likely still harbored a lethal intent toward Luo Bufan.

When the old master of the Medicine King Valley refined a Grade-Earth precious pill, he and the valley became famous throughout the land overnight.

"But Captain..." The vice-captain tried to persuade him further, gritting his teeth, but Jiyi silenced him with a single, piercing glare.

Just then, Yiren and Qin Baitian emerged from the restroom, with Qin Baitian asking Aunt Qing to help fetch some burn ointment.

It made sense for Gu Mocheng to want to keep them behind to protect his family. This was precisely why Zhang Anhai hesitated—whether to follow Gu Mocheng or stay at the Hunter stronghold to guard their families.

The two stopped at the corner of the staircase, where the dim light in the hallway flickered, as if plagued by a poor connection.

To break his barrier, one must use the secret arts of the Beast-Warriors, allowing their aura to resonate with the barrier’s perception.

However, it seemed that the Alliance was holding regional trials this year to scout for talent and had no time to spare for matters here. Many sects were busy preparing for that and did not come over.

"No, I slept for quite a while. It’s time to wake up." Qin Yu yawned widely right after saying this, instantly undermining the credibility of her words.

"Got it! Thanks, Boss! Oh, American Camels! Nice cigarettes!" Zhou Xingguo grabbed the pack and headed toward the back door of the classroom.

Upon hearing the voice, Li Gengyun and He Jin felt an immediate sense of familiarity. Especially He Jin, who had grown up listening to that voice. Both of them instantly realized who was speaking.

He was more concerned with the problem of getting out. Regardless, what he had gained from this trip was already enough to satisfy him.

Although the man’s tone was fierce, acting as if he were saying, "Don't hold me back, I'm going to fight," he hadn't actually moved his feet an inch.

Just then, another mass of black mist in the distance, bound by blue flames, suddenly erupted, shattering into fine, crystalline black shards as if it had self-detonated.

Whenever the Emperor saw his sister dressed up beautifully, his mood would be lifted for the entire day. Once in good spirits, he had energy all day long, and with that energy, he could better handle state affairs with his officials.

Washing his face, brushing his teeth, and going to the bathroom—things that could have been done leisurely—were now squeezed into a frantic battle against time.

Ling Yue searched carefully, but found nothing unusual. He even examined the mandibles and spear-like mouthparts of the Poison Spear Ants, but found no trace of those microscopic particles, nor any source for the curse-poison.
