Chapter 46

Dongfang Duanyang gave Dongfang Aotian a deep look, then moved instantly to Dongfang Xuanyue's side, grabbing the fist that Dongfang Xuanyue was about to hurl down at Teng Jiuchong.

The provocation worked. Duanmu Yi staggered to his feet, walked to the center of the banquet, and cast a condescending glance at Qiulin. Qiulin channeled his soul power and instantly appeared right in front of Duanmu Yi. With a swift kick, before Duanmu Yi could even react, he was sent flying over three meters away, crashing into the stone steps, coughing up blood, and collapsing to the ground, unable to get back up.

Several peerless prodigies also arrived in full succession. Fairy He of the Human Sect, draped in an immortal dress that fluttered in the wind, with delicate and ethereal features, gently nodded her head at Bu Feifan as a form of greeting.

Xiao Jing turned her head away. She figured she might have a slight chance of winning if she fought someone one-on-one, but against three at once, she chose to wisely stay put and remain inactive.

A tremendously ferocious power was rising, emerging from the depths of the darkness, while a peerless, murderous fiendish aura soared into the heavens.

However, later on, after passing a trial of life and death, everyone began to treat me with the same care and affection as when we first met.

Who would have thought he would happen to run into Grandpa Xiang returning from outside, carrying a large wine gourd in his left hand and a basket in his right, bumping right into each other face-to-face.

They were being watched. Pairs of eyes were fixed on their backs, and anyone in their position would feel deeply unsettled.

"My sister-in-law has searched for her biological parents for so many years, yet never did she expect that her family was right beside her." Xiu Mengfan sniffled, resting her head on Lord Yama's shoulder.

Nan Xun nodded repeatedly in praise. He had seen stubborn fools before, but never one this reckless. To go charging forward blindly under such temperatures was truly admirable.

After this match concluded, Luo Fu, Nalan Ruoqing, Fang Qingxue, and Fang Luxuan of the Penglai Divine Sect had all completed their participation.

From the moment he entered Yang Lingchen's sea of consciousness, this became a battle of life and death. Either he succeeded in seizing the body, or he would be completely erased from this world.

In a split second, arrows rained down from both sides, while the Brocade Sail Fleet even utilized counterweight trebuchets to hurl stones, instantly suppressing the Jiangdong naval forces so heavily that they could not even lift their heads.

One had to bear in mind that right now it was not just sweltering heat, but stray fire raining down from time to time as well. Under such perilous conditions, how on earth did it manage to survive?

Because as Qin Jingjing said those words with a gentle smile, I faintly sensed a rising undercurrent of crisis.

Mother, however, was somewhat worried, for she knew all too well what Su Guiyuan was like when dealing with the outside world. Going to the Bureau of Imperial Currency on the first day, while it sounded like an official position, there was no telling how quickly he might end up reduced to a mere deputy.

After kicking the Witch Giant to pieces with a single leg, the moment Luo Fu landed, he lunged forward to launch a charge against Baili Tu.

From then on, whenever a problem arose, she grew accustomed to calculating its outcome beforehand. Every single time, she managed to turn misfortune into good fortune; even when her calculations revealed unfavorable omens, the other party would always provide a method to break the curse—though it was merely a matter of how much money it would cost.

Su Guiyuan had already been arrested. The strange part was that even though he was being held in the Dali Temple, they had no way to interrogate him.

Shangguan Wanqing returned to the south, and her family members all advised her not to bother with Li Jinlong. However, Shangguan Wanqing found this utterly repulsive and simply locked herself in her room, refusing to see anyone. Whenever she thought of the words the Dowager Empress had spoken to her, she would break into a secret smile of delight.

Most of the menial disciples possessed meager means and tight purses. The spiritual stones they had were barely enough for their daily cultivation, let alone leaving any spare to purchase medicinal herbs.

Hearing this, Yukino seemed to cast a stealthy glance at Hachiman, a faint flush resting upon her cheeks. However, because Hachiman happened to be looking down at that moment, he completely missed the sight.

Lin Lan was petrified on the spot, boiling with internal rage. Jiao Ming looked all brawn and rough edges, yet he turned out to have such a dark and scheming temperament. He was clearly just treating the fire toxin within him, yet he phrased it as though they shared some illicit romance.

The current situation could be interpreted as Master Tan not fearing malevolent spirits, but with so many people in the manor—and Madam Tan terrified of these entities—they had reported the matter to the local authorities and summoned disciples from Tianyi Peak to exorcise the ghosts.

This protective suit was not a professional mineral prospecting garment, but an astronaut suit. High temperatures, bitter cold, and accidental impacts had all been factored into its design, yet Mark had never expected it to be capable of absorbing such a violent shock.

He pondered to himself: What was his actual name? Was it Mu? No, not Mu! Then was it Shu? No, not Shu either! Ah, right, his surname was Su, and his given name was... Yu. As it turned out, his name was Su Yu.

That cliffside plunged sheerly down toward the earth, devoid of vegetation all around and extremely difficult to scale. Plucking the fruit from it was no easy task.

Qin Yi felt a slight surge of vigilance. The vibrations emitted by this pillar-like creature were translated into a language they could understand, but the meaning behind those vibrations seemed to go even deeper. It appeared capable of inducing a hypnotic effect, planting psychological suggestions without anyone noticing.

"Ahem~, why not? Yukino, come along! The more people there are, the more fun it is," Chinatsu said, gazing at Yukino with teary, pleading eyes.

Along the festive, lantern-lit Qibao Street, various shops had been stocking up on numerous Qixi Festival goods for customers to purchase since the first day of the month, while seats on the Babao Tower in the East Street had been fully reserved well in advance.

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Jiqi and Qin Xiang, who stood nearby, both abruptly turned their gazes toward the Daoist priest Chu, who was kneeling on the ground.

"If I catch any of you fighting, all of you are going into solitary confinement for the next month! Did you hear me!" the warden said, completely unfazed.

Ying stared at her for a long while. "You are in deep trouble." Of course she knew. That lotus flower would be restored, and it had everything to do with Hualian. Hualian was unaware of the intricacies involved, for not everyone desired that lotus flower to be restored.

Previously, it was thanks to the ability of the Human Scroll that he had been able to lurk within the city for so long. Once anyone came searching, he would instantly activate his power, causing those people to overlook their presence. This was the exact reason he had managed to harbor people and hide within the city for so long.
