Chapter 47: A Little Too Forward!

After finishing the meal, Gu Yao left home ahead of the others. Before stepping out the door, she stood by the entrance and issued a parting order to Lu Zheng:

“Judging by how you look, you’ve mostly recovered. After you finish eating, have someone come pick you up. I don’t want any unpleasant rumors spreading if you stay here.”

This time, Lu Zheng did not object. His hand paused for a moment before he nodded in agreement.

“Alright.”

Gu Yao looked up at him with some surprise.

Having obtained this crucial intelligence, Marshal Yue Zhenlin fully understood that this battle would be difficult. He summoned Master Huaizhi and his disciples to seek their opinions and strategies.

Considering that after the fall of Guluo, Qian Lao would no longer be able to rely on his family for cultivation resources, and as a lone wolf, this excessively lucrative industry was just the channel he needed to gather such resources. Thus, during the half-month of downtime, he planned to let him explore the path of alchemy.

“Feeling any better?” Liu Chuanbin placed a bag of food on the table and looked at Luo Cheng with concern.

When the Thunder Serpent Beast King saw Xuantong Six-Ears appear, he immediately realized the gravity of the situation. The pilgrims had already arrived, so he hurriedly flew back to the estate to arrange for the lord, An Peila, to assassinate Master Huaizhi.

After receiving the battle orders from the Ancient Fiend God Lord, the Dragon Scorpion King commanded his four generals—the Emperor Crab, Red King Scorpion, Poison King Scorpion, and Demon King Scorpion—to personally lead five hundred thousand elite troops to defend Beast Pass. They must not allow the imperial forces or the pilgrims to advance even half a step towards Mount Kunlun. All preparations for the decisive battle were underway.

“If you want to learn, then you must work hard. One day, you will have the same strength. Enough talk, let’s begin the competition. I will now explain the rules,” Qiu Xuan said.

However, stubborn resistance was a foolish move, especially since the enemy had clearly wagered all their energy and spiritual power.

Upon hearing the commands of the Divine Dragon Fiend Lord, the sorcerer Zhuoga and the Golden Lion Beast ceased their clash. Each retreated to their respective camps to prepare for the next day’s affairs.

At the moment of entering the black hole, a golden light emerged from the chests of Lei Yi and his companions, forming a transparent golden sphere that enveloped them.

“This is for the best, so human technology won’t develop beyond what their society can sustain,” Xue Yunchu pondered silently.

Japan had no shortage of celebrities, but reporters wisely avoided mentioning modern history, as it was a shameful chapter of self-destruction in human history, with Japan playing a disgraceful role.

Hu San nodded repeatedly. Traveling hundreds of miles from Chang’an to Luoyang was exhausting for this military man. As for why they didn’t use carrier pigeons, neither Li Zhi nor Li Ji had authority over the investigation bureau, so they had to travel the courier route.

“If only they would cooperate sincerely with the state, we wouldn’t have to worry so much,” Ye Fangqian said naively.

“A higher level?” Yi Yongheng was puzzled—six-meridian harmonization was already advanced. How could there be a higher state?

He raised both hands, staring at the police officer who had long sought to capture him. Officials in Changyun City regarded him as a thorn in their side, eager to see him torn to shreds.

Wanyan Changzhi looked at his wife, who, despite being over thirty, still possessed captivating charm. Unable to resist, he wrapped one arm around her slender waist and the other under her legs, lifting her into his arms as he walked toward the bedchamber.

After this order was issued, the soldiers finally brightened up, their resentment toward the emperor lessened. Everyone was eager to return home and busied themselves packing.

A few sharp-eyed individuals sensed something amiss but held back their laughter, remaining silent. Meanwhile, the brothers Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang applauded enthusiastically.

Wanyan Changzhi nodded. Yang Yan had indeed used this move—deploying troops from the sea near Zhaohai. Now he had no reservations left and was ready for one last battle with Yang Yan. To prevent the Song army from pursuing the retreating Jin forces, Wanyan Changzhi immediately ordered Gao Linfu to lead twenty thousand troops to launch a counterattack.

He had originally thought Cao Cao would remain silent and tacitly allow matters to proceed, especially since Guo Yi himself had agreed.

After a moment of silence, Mandy nodded, her thoughts immersed in speculating about the messages the Star Chanting God might have received.

Lü Bu’s forces were disheartened, temporarily holding their ground in the mountain pass. Their provisions were completely depleted, and they had begun slaughtering horses for food. If they failed to break through, all soldiers would starve to death within Yu Mountain.

Of course, she could never enter the Sword Academy, but who wouldn’t want to leave a lasting impression on such an important figure?

Then, it was time to bid farewell. The Joyful Death Tower would no longer return to Bowang. If all went well, he might prepare to depart as early as the next day.

Meng Qing raised an eyebrow. Seeing his reluctance to speak, she had no choice but to take the blade from Ling Yu’s hand and press it against his neck.

Her voice was low, audible only to Zhao Dongqing, but his face revealed stunned disbelief.

Lin Fan had long received information about the items inside through the supernatural ability transmitted by his right hand.

The illustrious, warlike dignitaries bathed in sacred sunlight. Faces once proud, solemn, or smiling now displayed solemnity.

After Delong tore through the Bull team’s disorganized defense, the Jazz players found it easy to get open shots.

The innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram, instantly appeared in Laozi’s hands. He then tossed it toward the sect leader. A golden bridge arced through the air, directly suppressing the Taiji Two Instruments Sword and the phantom.

The three Ao brothers immediately pressed Prince Mo’ang toward the Western Sea. The sea surface was unexpectedly calm, and the brothers were puzzled—what scheme were Ao Shan and Ao Shun hiding?
