Chapter 46

What actually happened between the Mu family and Shen Xue back then remains unknown to anyone, and how Shen Xue ultimately died is even more of a mystery.

Following the route designated by Xia Xinyi, and employing her lightness kung fu to evade staff and security guards, she secretly sneaked into a large conference room.

Qin Wan'er felt a profound sense of heartache, yet she understood that in this lifetime, she could never be separated from the man before her, whom people called a fool.

As she spoke, she glanced at her phone and, recalling his words from earlier, her brow furrowed tightly; if she guessed correctly, he was likely going to look for Mu Xueling.

Ye Xi and Tian Jiajia, still locked in battle, felt a scorching wave pour down from above, as if it were about to scorch their hair. Looking up, they saw a dragon and a phoenix plunging from the sky—and massive ones at that.

I glanced down at the notebook, which featured some flowing lines whose shapes vaguely resembled a ruyi.

Later, I asked my grandfather what a person who had crossed into the netherworld was. Grandfather told me it was someone who had already made a trip through the gates of hell. I should have died along with my mother, but in the end, the midwife ruthlessly sliced open my mother's belly and pulled me out.

As Zhang Liang spoke, he gestured with his hands, his gaze turning hollow as he became entirely consumed by the memory.

Currents of air surged violently on either side of me, transforming into fiery streams that sparked brilliantly against the Vajra Umbrella, like spirits executing a dance of death in mid-air.

Xiangye said that he had already woken up, yet he refused to let her help him wash and dress. Inside the room, apart from the sound made earlier, there had been complete silence, and it was impossible to tell what was happening.

A blood puppet possessing ancient bloodlines was hard to find, but a celestial beast with ancient bloodlines was even scarcer. Now that one had suddenly appeared, he had actually mistaken it for a pet bird—this slap to his face left him thoroughly humbled and convinced.

"Given that someone at this assembly has uttered insults against the Yuxu Sect, the gathering is temporarily suspended. The Yuxu Sect initiates the grudge-duel mode; please, the two parties, take the stage to accept the challenge," said Fairy Nishang.

I lowered my gaze to look at the churning sea, out of the corner of my eye catching sight of Old Man He's shoes, revealing his inner turmoil and anxiety. In the distance, Xu Yang's figure came closer and closer, and when he was still some distance away, utterly devoid of strength, he finally sank beneath the waves.

"You will witness even more legends, Xiao Chu," a voice sounded behind me. I started violently and turned back, only to find the old man walking away toward his previous spot.

Because a fine steed would bring a qualitative leap to his riding exam, enabling him to secure a higher score. Not only that, but a steed could accompany Du Bian for over a decade, becoming his combat partner and granting him formidable strength on future battlefields.

No, I have to find a way to drag Jiang Yuze into this as well to make it fair; otherwise, my heart won't feel balanced.

The resources, tutelage, medicinal pills, and cultivation techniques available to inner and outer sect disciples were simply incomparable. Therefore, inner sect disciples held the status of teachers, akin to young elders of the sect, and possessed the authority to take on nominal disciples with immense power.

They immediately stood back-to-back, brandishing their broadswords and scanning their surroundings with extreme vigilance.

"Ma Han? Where have you been these past few months? Why has my Special Affairs Bureau found no trace of you?" Song Haotian could not help but ask.

She found that not only were her words cold and thin, but even her eyes revealed a sense of chill and solitude, stirring an inexplicable pang of heartache.

"Master, Shuiling knew that Master is the best to me, muwah!" Shuiling broke into a smile through her tears, flew over to Amy's face, and planted a heavy kiss on it.

Jiang Hua was utterly helpless. Why hadn't she noticed this side of him before? Had he been severely provoked by Qingkong?

Today, I create the Endless Flame Territory. This domain shall be my home, and in the future, anyone from my Dou Qi Continent may come to the Endless Flame Territory to seek sanctuary.

Glancing at the photograph on her phone, which captured the beauty of the sunset to perfection, she nodded in satisfaction.

This time, Zhu Hong had brought along four talented Spirit-Flying disciples who had attained enlightenment, disguising them as observation envoys of the Shouxin Temple in Suzhou to enter the Huangde Hall, observe the selection trials, and celebrate the generational transition of Huangde.

"Puff—" The two Heavenly Sovereigns of Gust wind coughed up blood and staggered back a few steps, while the Master of the Profound Yin Sect was sent flying backward like a batted baseball. The Profound Yin Sect Master looked wretched, spraying blood as if on the verge of death, yet at the very moment he was sent flying, he burst into wild, ecstatic laughter, looking immensely triumphant.

At the summit of the great mountain, Yang Ying and Ren Woxing fought to a standstill, locked in an intensely fierce battle. Their Heaven-Shattering Divine Claws and Demon-Subduing Swords unleashed powerful energies that expanded outward in all directions every time they clashed.

The Confucian scholars of Huaxia pursued the ideals of establishing a heart for heaven and earth, securing the lives of the people, continuing the intercepted scholastic traditions for past sages, and creating eternal peace for all generations! This was the grand path pursued by Gu Hongming.

Lili Ai echoed Mirror Heart's sentiments, only to have every point refuted by Li Xue using his previous words, leaving Lili Ai temporarily speechless.

Perhaps, as a jinchuriki and a chunnin, being entrusted with three genius students who graduated early was a special privilege granted to her by the Third Hokage.

The Age of Great Pirates had begun long ago; the Marines had been driven out of the New World, and friction among pirates was bound to escalate. Before long, the New World would welcome its true king.

Gao Qingyi thought to himself: At the beginning of the year, the Jin Dynasty repeatedly urged you to dispatch troops, yet you always offered various excuses, forcing our dynasty to campaign alone and clash head-on with the Liao Dynasty. Now that your campaign in the Yanyun region is going poorly, you suddenly remember the alliance of mutual cooperation and are pressing us to send troops to the Yan territory post-haste.

Regrettably, they fell far short of those uniform warriors of the Beast Kingdom whose combined strength rivaled that of twelve meridian experts.

"Meng, congratulations." As Larry Bird handed the trophy symbolizing the All-Star Three-Point Contest champion back to Meng Xu, amid the cheers of the audience, Meng Xu raised the three-point trophy high, bringing this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest to an official close.

Tuoba Ce looked directly at the burly man who had retreated to maintain a distance of fifteen meters, offering a playful remark with a smile.
