Volume 1, Chapter 59: Your Subject Only Wishes to Marry Yunxi
Naturally, another wave of uproar followed, with various dissenting opinions emerging. However, when the detractors caught sight of the supreme Comrade Ermine, they had no choice but to shut their mouths.
The domestic servants stared greedily at the hundred taels of gold produced by Zhao Xing, resembling starving wild dogs. At a single command from Master Xing, they immediately pounced upon Zhao Xing.
Although his spiritual sense failed to capture the auras of the experts from the Emperor Demon and Emperor Burning Sacred Realms, Qin Lang locked onto the point of most oppressive heat on the invisible hidden star. Without hesitation, he flew directly toward the thermal extreme, hoping for a miracle—or at least to find the Heavenly Spirit Mystic Ice he had been searching for all these years.
"He said this himself, or how else would you imagine it?" Qin Lang said nonchalantly and airily, exuding an overbearing aura. To think of using the three primordial divine beasts as mounts—since ancient times, probably no one else had ever dared to do such a thing.
No... Zheng Yu wanted to scream this out, but his throat was as dry and cracked as if it had been stuffed with a large boulder, preventing any sound from escaping, while cold sweat broke out on his forehead like a gushing spring.
Besides, wouldn't the immortal cultivators' abodes normally have restrictive barriers set up? How could they catch fire so easily?
Jun Yu had learned the news from his mother: Qin Xun's identity turned out to be none other than the Young Palace Master of the Falling Immortal Palace.
A twenty-year-old youth and a seven-year-old child; one was the scion of a distinguished and cultured clan in Gusu City, while the other was the illegitimate son of a local tyrant in the county. Though they seemed like two individuals who could never be connected, their appearances were strikingly similar. Could there really be such a coincidence in this world?
Li You did not spill everything at once like beans pouring from a bamboo tube; he simply stated that Lady Yan had been found at the Guanyin Hermitage and requested the magistrate to issue an order for her disposal, leaving the rest for Magistrate Chen to interrogate.
"Good. I'll take you there." Sun Dagang naturally had no idea what the name Wen Yu signified, having never heard of it before. Therefore, although Wen Yu had stated his real name, Sun Dagang remained entirely unresponsive. Instead, he simply strode forward, scooped up Wen Yu's bowls, stacked them together by the door, and led the way.
Cultivation in the divine realm is arduous, accompanied by divine tribulations and heavenly punishments every time one breaks through a major realm. Countless are the deities who have fallen under these tribulations.
"Is it this unremarkable piece of trash that's been preventing our brothers from gaming in peace?" The Horse-Face guardian brandished his iron chain, snorting two streams of hot air from his nostrils in anger.
Upon hearing this, Ran Fei knew very well that this was no mere assistance; it was clearly an assignment as an overseer. Yet, under someone else's roof, one had to bow their head, so he raised no further objections and agreed.
Warships can be described as a type of large-scale magical treasure, suitable for distant expeditions or long journeys undertaken by various sects due to their massive size and high carrying capacity. For instance, the Azure Cloud Sect's Azure Cloud Warship could accommodate tens of thousands of people simultaneously.
"Flee? Where could one possibly flee to?" a Golden Core immortal said leisurely, as wave after wave of spells obliterated a mass of enemies.
Ever since the resurgence of spiritual energy, he had witnessed quite a few experts, and had even seen battles between mortals and immortals broadcast on television.
"Bad news, River God! A ferocious beast has devoured the River God of the Ma family, along with every living creature in the Ma family's river. Judging by its route, it will surely pass through the Qili River." Prime Minister Turtle hurried in to report.
After a short while, the fifteen teams stood in a ragged formation. Because Zhou Lei had just advanced to the True Immortal realm and had no supporters, the group behind him looked utterly wretched. However, Zhou Lei's ambitions lay elsewhere, so he paid it no mind.
In the early hours of the next day, the streets of Jiyang were already filled with troops. All the estates of the nobles and officials in Jiyang had been surrounded. Lu Zhonglian, deeply curious, wanted to ask Ran Fei what was happening, because in the northern part of Qi, the only person with the authority and audacity to mobilize troops in this manner was Ran Fei.
Things seemed to be going reasonably well; they had successfully managed to handle everything before them. Naturally, the next step was to figure out a way to leave this place.
At the dining table, everyone looked on with varying expressions as Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly started "getting handsy" with Yi Le once again.
Su Jiu said indifferently, "Lord Zhangsun should not speak nonsense. That academy does not belong to this Su; it is His Majesty's academy." With that, Su Jiu walked outside.
To die unexpectedly right on the brink of war was truly a devastating blow to one's vitality. No wonder Jun Fu's mentality was on the verge of collapsing; such a blow would enrage anyone who experienced it.
He truly had no idea what was going through their minds, and now he felt a sense of helplessness. Yet, this commander was also somewhat apprehensive, not quite knowing what to say. Given the current circumstances, however, he had no choice but to accept it.
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen displayed the border defense troops' base being destroyed by artillery fire, while simultaneously showing a spacecraft of an entirely different style from the empire.
Meanwhile, Sun Xing's steam carriage remained stationary in its original spot. A thick plume of smoke drifted from the vehicle, generated by the dry straw used to ignite the charcoal.
"Baili Che, Yuan Qi, Gao Jie, the three of you take the new disciples back right now," Elder Chou said.
Seizing the precise moment, Xue Dingshan loosed a fierce arrow that struck Liao Sanhao right in the throat. Liao Sanhao tumbled into the dust and instantly perished. Terrified out of his wits, Liao Hu cried out, "Oh dear, this is a major disaster!" He whipped his horse around, desperate to flee.
"Master, I don't understand!" Lu Qi said, his mouth stuffed with food, his words coming out in a mumbles.
After Bai Feiyu escorted Qianshan back to his residence, he returned with Yang Fan. Since Shiyuan's dwelling was closer to Qianshan's, it was only a short walk away, so Shiyuan simply returned directly to his own quarters.
Her pretty face bore an expression of disbelief. Suddenly, however, as if recalling something, her expression hardened, and her gaze swept over the surrounding figures, her eyes flashing with intense vigilance.
Imagine if you were a commander of the Xiling Empire, conducting tactical deployments in the northern sector, only to discover that the rebel forces had concentrated their forces, abandoned the eastern and western battlefields, and launched a massive assault on the southern defense line. What would you think?
To be honest, Mu Zixun was quite surprised. Ever since she had slapped Fang Shiyao across the face last time, Fang Jiashi had never spoken to her again.
Around the time her husband passed the imperial examinations for the provincial level, Master Ma had actually agreed to their marriage. But good times do not last; after her husband was beaten into a state of foolishness, their marriage was shelved indefinitely. Even though Ma Cuihua was on the verge of becoming an old maid, Master Ma refused to relent.
Honestly speaking, consuming the lives of so many people earlier already counted as her ultimate trump card; it was impossible for her to have another one.
Regaining his composure, Flame dodged the male silver dragon that was attacking him once more. Before the opponent could bite him, he jerked his neck and viciously bit into the creature's previously wounded area from the side, tearing away a massive chunk of flesh.
