Volume 1, Chapter 43: Whose Blessing

"Do not worry, Father. I will treat Eldest Brother and Third Sister; they will be fine." Lin Qingwu looked at the banished Lin Wenyuan and offered a comforting, thoughtful reassurance.

Her voice sounded like the strumming of a zither or the soft piping of a bamboo flute, yet upon closer listening, it was distinct from the timbre of any musical instrument.

This man of about fifty years of age was named Zhou Tian'ao, and he served as the Director of the Bureau of Paranormal Phenomena.

Meanwhile, the strongest cultivators of the Bai and Wang families—who were competing with the Tong family for resources in Jiangzhou City—were both stuck at the twelfth layer of the Qi Refining stage, long unable to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Consequently, the Bai and Wang families had recently joined forces, showing a strong momentum to vie for supremacy against the Tong family.

Suddenly catching sight of the biography in Mu Changfeng's hand and noticing the two characters "Zhou Jia," Zhao Zhuoyan's expression turned rather peculiar.

Even in a dimension where Liu Daneng's father possessed a net worth of tens of billions, he would still not be qualified to obtain this card.

"Your cultivation is not particularly high, and the possibility of you possessing a middle-grade immortal artifact is slim. That is why I concluded that your golden sword is a lower-grade immortal artifact." Haotian smiled faintly, leaving the latter utterly dumbfounded.

Mu Xianyin knew that the greatest threat to her was Bai Chen, who played this lethal musical poison. Once the sonic venom reached a certain realm, it would silently poison everyone within its range, regardless of whether they could hear the music or not.

First, to guarantee that their medical conditions were fully met, ensuring timely treatment for any illness. Second, to provide them with various nutritious foods in their daily lives to help them recover their health.

"Very well, let the villagers bear witness. As long as you can make that ox fly into the sky, I will read your fortune for free and even help you resolve your plight." Seeing Youruo remain defiant, the fortune-teller took up the challenge.

It was over. Li Zhongnan smiled at her again and consoled her, "Sister Diyingshu, do not be afraid; I am not going to kill you." Yet the glass bottle in his hand remained suspended in the air, pointed right at her.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Li Zhongnan gave Sun Ruiyan a light pat on her hip and gently pushed her away.

"Safe journey, Chief!" Zhang Wujin watched him depart, a barely perceptible smile curling the corners of his lips.

Indeed, the scout units and assault troops played out the Mongolian Mangudai cavalry-archery tactic. The difference was that the scout units completely replicated the Mangudai tactics, whereas the assault cavalry only partially imitated them, given that they were also responsible for charge combat.

Even though the Taihua Dynasty possessed numerous elite forces, they could not withstand the allied forces of the six enemy kingdoms, who wave after wave used the lives of their own cultivators in continuous, suicide-style assaults to detonate spiritual energy and inflict devastation.

Observing the deferential, respectful demeanor of these two figures, and hearing the distant sounds of stringed music and joyful laughter, Shi Jin felt his vigilance rise even higher.

With no one speaking, the room fell into an extraordinary quiet—a stillness that unsettled the heart, causing even someone as composed as Empress Qian to feel a stirring of anxiety.

Cheng Yu arrived at Qiyue Township the very next day. Although the majority of the facilities had already been relocated, the administrative seat was still located here. Since he was merely assuming office, he did not need to undergo formal appointment ceremonies here.

With that, he cast a strange glance in the direction of Otonashi. Li Ling had said that Otonashi was someone who could be developed into an ally, and had even shared the method of persuasion with Korosensei.

Although no outsider had ever stayed overnight here before, Zhai Mo did not mind breaking precedent this once for Xiao Mu.

"Ha!" Su Rimu raised a hand to cover her lips, yet let out a derisive scoff that everyone could hear clearly.

Yet none of this mattered to Li Ling. No matter how high his combat proficiency might be, he was ultimately just a peak one-star enemy.

Just as Guzheng intended to ponder this deeply, Qian Yiduo opposite him seemed to recall something, his expression abruptly turning quite serious.
