31 The Bottom Line (2)

The Demon Sect is now in ruins, with heavy casualties; what point is there in sparing these elders?

Feng Ling was struggling enough just to prop up Old Master Jin; how could he possibly have the capacity to fend off those two?

The smell of blood grew stronger as the man drew near, a grim reminder to Yingchun that he was wounded. As she looked up, he offered her a "gentle" smile, yet she felt instantly targeted by danger, a chill running through her entire body.

"What is the origin of this Ghost Path, and why are they secretly helping the Three Paths annihilate the demon clan?" Wu Qian asked.

"You old bastard, why aren't you helping? All you do is spout sarcasm!" Zhang Sanfeng complained, feeling powerless to retort.

And so, lying drunk on his bed, Xu Yang began to contemplate what he had gained from his sword practice that day. Soon enough, just as always, Xu Yang successfully... fell asleep.

"I married off Xuan Yin without telling my second brother. Now that he hasn't returned, he undoubtedly harbors deep hatred for me," he said, sighing as he spoke. Xuan Yan’s arched brows furrowed slightly. I nodded, though I only half-understood; after all, I am not Xuan Shitian.

Xu Yang felt great sympathy for the leaders of the Red Flower Society. If he hadn't prepared himself mentally beforehand, he might have ended up even more embarrassed than they were.

"Because I killed eighteen disciples of the Qilin Sect," Lin Shuihan said heavily. Luo Jiuxuan’s gaze flickered with shock, and he couldn't help but frown. "You actually killed eighteen disciples of the Qilin Sect?" He placed heavy emphasis on the words "eighteen."

No matter how many excuses they made for themselves... or how righteously they framed the act of "kidnapping."

More importantly, every time he fought in the past, his blood would boil and his vitality would be severely damaged, yet today, he felt as if nothing had happened at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a bit fortunate that he hadn't refused the Jade Essence Bead offered by Man Yun in the Forest Domain. Although it didn't work as he had expected, it had bought him a precious moment of opportunity.

Shi Yao had handed the management of the Bugui Pavilion over to Meng Zida; anything he could decide on his own didn't need to be reported back to her. Thus, on the final day of her seven-day vacation, Shi Yao finally began her true break.

For the entire night, Wu Ding neither ate nor drank. By dawn, he slowly opened his eyes, feeling invigorated, and even managed a simple meal.

Seeing this, the sharp glint in Xiao Yi’s eyes vanished in an instant. His face trembled slightly, and finally, he sighed helplessly, shook his head, and walked over to sit on a nearby stone stool, falling silent.

With his powerful Source Qi protecting his body, Xiao Yan plunged into the abyss. The wind whistled in his ears, yet it felt as if he would never reach the bottom.

Meanwhile, Adjutant Ma had no doubt that if he dared to say "you wouldn't dare," Young Master Wang would have his head blown off the very next second.

She waved at them until the car turned the corner and her figure could no longer be seen in the rearview mirror.

Zhuo Xiong’s eyelids began to flutter open and shut, his body swaying slightly back and forth.

He had come out of the mountains hoping to achieve greatness. Now that the Zhao state had fallen and the situation in the world was clear—with the Great Qin likely to unify the land for the second time—and since Han Xin, a confidant of the Emperor, had promised to recommend him, Li Zuoche naturally agreed immediately.

"I also found this information earlier; I was originally going to see Admiral Mira as well," Qian Xueying explained to Yan Hanshui.

One must remember that back then, Ziying had fought across thousands of miles while being hunted by the Xiongnu. He had not only turned the vast grasslands upside down but hadn't even spared the Xiongnu Queen, greatly bolstering the prestige of the Great Qin.

If the thirteen of them truly failed at the hands of Su Yuanzhi, the reputation of the Chan Sect would surely collapse, and the Primordial Heavenly Lord would not be lenient with them.

"You old beast! If you dare to act recklessly, I... I will bite my tongue and die. Let's see how you explain that to the Princess tomorrow!" Du Ruoqiu threatened him with her final reserves of strength.

Yan Jun had not inherited any legacy; he did not know what Gu insects or lethal techniques the Blood Path Gu Master possessed, and he had no means to save Yao Zhenhai. Rushing in blindly would only result in his own demise.

At that moment, the sound of hooves echoed through Jizhou City, and Su Hu was seen charging out with tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Fine! I'll spare you this time, but if you dare to hide anything from me again, there will be no mercy!" the Emperor warned him.

"Heh heh! Now you know I wasn't lying!" Heipi Le interjected, his voice softening.

Hearing a voice that sounded different from the system's usual tone, Nero was momentarily baffled. Why had the system changed its voice?

"Then I'll go check on the class. You stay busy." This old man was too easily agitated; Chen Hao finished his sentence and, not waiting for a reply, opened the door and ran off.

With that, Gu Shaoyu unleashed his Conqueror's Haki along with the formidable power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. For a moment, his aura was on par with the semi-saint Queen Mother, evenly matched.

Su Yu wondered how to let all the beasts see this TV series. Since it was a show they had all participated in, watching it together would be a memento of sorts. Crowding into the room was impossible, so perhaps he should move the TV outside?

Not only that, Mao Rui also took the opportunity to pack up and dig up some of the beautiful flowers and plants in the valley.

Suddenly, a voice entered Xun'er's ears. It was so abrupt that it gave her a start.

"That's good! We'll deal with the rest when the time comes." Ding Hao hung up the phone. The two hadn't exchanged much of substance; although they were using encrypted phones, there was no telling if they were being monitored. In this world, there was no shortage of black technology, and true privacy was never guaranteed.

No one cheered; they all looked at Chen Hao with pity. They said that those who court death cannot be saved, and this time, he was truly doomed.

Yet, the paleness of her complexion and the smile she barely managed to force served as a powerful rebuttal.

"Without this Haoran Sacred Armor, let's see how you block my Flying Dragon Mysterious Fire Banner!" Qin Guyue sneered. In truth, he was being arrogant; he couldn't actually control the dragon soul within the banner and could only summon it by relying on the faint spiritual connection he shared with it.

Once the danger in the trees was cleared, they used their grappling skills to easily traverse the wetlands and reach the location of the second-stage boss.

"Hurry and eat." Seeing Xiao Yang staring unblinkingly at Lin He, You Li smiled and tasted the food on the table. These rare, idle moments were precious to them.
