The Ancestor of Longwind was wholly focused on controlling the tortoiseshell’s course, adjusting its direction from time to time, and had no time to speak with Huang Xuanling.

“This Sacred Tomb lies within that secret realm. In ancient times, that secret realm was not called the Heavenly Wasteland Secret Realm, but the Sacred Tomb Wasteland. It is said that in the distant past, Martial Saints emerged one after another and the martial way flourished greatly. Those Martial Saints whose lifespans had run out all liked to come to the Sacred Tomb Wasteland, build tombs, and bury themselves there after death.”

“Zi’an, don’t be so tightfisted with me. Are you short of money, or have you taken a fancy to some girl? If it’s the former, just tell me how much you need. If it’s the latter, well, if your big brother can’t help, I can always ask your sister-in-law to step in.”

Xiao Yi cut him off irritably. Seeing the other man hesitate and stumble over his words, he knew there had to be something troubling him, and that he seemed rather embarrassed about it.

The radiance of spells flashed back and forth, blasting countless great pits into the mountaintop. Magical and demonic artifacts flew in every direction, accompanied by wave after wave of ghostly wails and wolfish howls.

Jiang Zhe let out a soft sigh. He had not expected Artemis to be so cunning.

Jia Shaojie was stunned for a moment, then fell speechless. He was already too tired to argue with Peng Yu; he simply could not understand how Peng Yu’s mind worked.

As the foremost expert in the town, anything Huang Xuanling wished to leave behind naturally met with no objection from anyone present.

“Mi’er has grown more beautiful by the day. Zhen’er often speaks of you,” Mi Zhu said with a faint smile.

Night deepened. Sitting beside the river, Ye Han placed one four-star divine pill after another into his storage pouch.

“Xiao Lang, why would you say that? I am merely carrying out His Majesty’s orders. Besides, from the very first moment I saw you, I admired you deeply, and I have missed you terribly these past days.”

Huang Wan sounded delighted.

Whenever Chen Yafu thought of that rumor, she felt inexplicably indignant. She had worked so hard and performed so well, devoting herself to completing the task assigned by her sect. Yet after two full years, she had made no progress at all and was still standing exactly where she had begun.

Just as Shi Qing decided that perhaps directly presenting his proposal might be enough to move Wen Yuexiang’s father, and was pulling his thoughts back into focus, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. How had the car ended up on the expressway leading back to City D?

Moreover, operating the Mech War God beyond his level was extremely damaging to him. Forget such tremendous impacts—even ordinary walking caused him serious harm.

“Go.”

Fu Hanxing breathed the word softly. A gigantic fireball surged forth like a swarm of locusts blotting out the sky and sun. At the same time, his hands continued forming spell seals, sending beams of five-colored light into the golden prayer wheel above his head.

Back in the mission world, Nan Shu had been just the same; he had personally handled everything concerning her.

The object turned out to be a huge golden slab, seven or eight feet long and four or five feet wide. No one could tell whether it was black iron coated with lacquer or cast entirely from pure gold. It smashed through the doorway and wall, forced Chen Che back, and vanished at once.

They could not ride horses to attack Yang Family Stockade. Instead, they left the warhorses permanently in the main camp and marched out in formation with more than five thousand soldiers, heading straight for Yang Lei’s stronghold. Though the mountain roads around Yang Family Stockade were steep and treacherous, this stretch leading up the mountain was still in good condition. The Yang family used it often—how could they not have maintained it properly?

Hua Rong rolled her eyes at Ji Lan. “What would you know?”

Bing Lan silently placed a dagger in her bag. Seeing that, Ning Fangze selected a spare one as well.

“What are those papers you’re holding?”

Liao Shasha, who was applying a facial mask, spotted the stack of papers in Shi Qing’s hand and asked curiously.

“Eat it,” Ye’s mother said, unsurprised.

Ye Wei did not find the question surprising either; she asked it herself from time to time. She was simply such a filial, good child. Was anyone going to bite her for it?

Before he could react, the army of ten thousand demonic apparitions swept toward him and enveloped the Buddha-son. The Daoist True Son and Duobao True Son behind him both retreated, while the galactic-river domains behind them flew forward and spread out. The scattered magical treasures within them erupted with astonishing power.

“Send all these people to Chicken-Deer Stockade. Transfer another five hundred soldiers to secure Linrong’s defenses. Promote someone to county commandant. Later, I shall petition the court to reorganize the Tingwei and Tiger-Bear divisions in Linrong.”

Xu Huang’s voice was cold.

Since none of them could tell her what Bu Gui liked, she would love him in her own way.

The man’s hand moved like a machine, gripping An Ruo’s arm firmly. A moment later, the needle plunged down without the slightest hesitation.

Xiao Yuyin stepped onto the stone bridge and rested her hands on the railing. Hearing the footsteps behind her stop, and sensing no malice from the newcomer, she merely shifted a little to the side and stared blankly at the river flowing beneath the bridge.

“You called me Master. Have you remembered me?”

Baili Changfeng was overjoyed. His Hehuan finally remembered him.

“If you see Chen Lan or Lei Bo, tell them to get over here and face me!”

Seeing Lü Bu ride away with his army, Ji Ling let out a frustrated breath and roared through clenched teeth.

In dealing with matters, one should neither fight nor make a scene, neither exploit others nor feel inferior. One should have confidence and self-cultivation, consider others and worry about them, understand when to give and when to let go, know right from wrong, do good deeds, be grateful, and treat people with honesty and generosity. Such a person will surely possess a good conscience.

Xiao Yuyin studied the man Uncle Lin had called Eunuch An. This was the first time she had ever seen a real eunuch.

“I came to search for my memories. What about you?”

Jiayue looked at the man. Though he was disheveled and destitute, he could not conceal the immortal bearing in his bones; despite his unkempt appearance, he was still clearly a transcendent master.

The voice gradually faded away as it spoke. Long Ling could no longer think. He stopped trying to control his body and allowed it to move as it pleased. For some reason, he felt utterly exhausted in both body and mind. The information conveyed by that voice had been overwhelming. So it turned out that he had been deceived and led in circles from the very beginning.

Yet within the space of a few breaths, more than ten thousand living beings died at once. Blossoms of blood spread across the emerald-green grassland, grotesque and horrifying in their beauty.

Mu Qingqian looked at her delicate, yielding appearance and knew that Bingyao was simple-hearted. Even so, this was the first time she had seen Bingyao frown so tightly, as though she could not set her mind at ease.
