Chapter 19

“Senior, I think for the greater good, you should make a sacrifice. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for any of us to make it out alive. Besides, we’re not really asking you to go to her,” Yin Xiu said. He called Jin Mulang “Senior” because he knew that Jin Mulang was actually quite old and had an astonishing background.

“Alright!” Jiuliu Zhenren replied, though worry gnawed at his heart. He had taunted Ding Hao many times along the way—would Ding Hao hold a grudge against him?

Around the cave entrance, the fibrous structure of the tree trunks was uneven, like sharp jagged rocks. When Sun Jian stepped inside and pointed his finger, his primordial energy exploded, and with a sudden burst, a fierce flame shot up from the ground. This fire carried a violent force, matching Sun Jian’s increasingly fiery temper.

The three bodyguards were about to pull their triggers immediately, but at that moment, their arms suddenly went limp. They couldn’t even grip their guns properly; the muzzles drooped downward, and their fingers lost all control, spraying bullets wildly at the floor with a clatter.

The Lian family made such a grand display of seeking blessings and repaying vows that their influence spread far and wide, drawing the townsfolk to this nameless mountain to seek blessings from her.

“Let’s go, first down to the foot of the mountain to restore our spiritual power,” Ding Ling was about to step forward when he heard a sudden crack. He quickly looked down and saw that his shoe sole had frozen solid, tearing up a large chunk of frozen earth.

Over a hundred years, tens of thousands of ninth-tier warships had nearly driven the nine major alien tribes into a desperate corner.

He deliberately wanted to humiliate Sun Sheng. Although he didn’t know the purpose behind this, for the young men in the arena, it was an opportunity to prove themselves.

If Zhang Ning’s logic held, then the current $10 billion stock would eventually become $20 billion, or even more.

Ling Xue ate while deep in thought. After finishing their meal, they watched some television together. Ling Tian mentioned that Su Xiaoyun had invited him out to play and would return later.

“Come quickly to the main hall, there’s something to discuss!” Just as he pushed open the door, a cold voice whispered in Jun Yixiao’s ear. Startled and curious, Jun Yixiao immediately hurried over.

Like the sound of a steel plate being pried open, Lin Chen’s dragon vein throbbed violently. His muscles twitched, bones trembled, and his cells became incredibly active. Powerful, refined dragon energy surged like a rushing river, vast and turbulent.

With her strength in the late Void Return Realm, although she was among the weakest cultivators in the Fourth Heaven, as long as she didn’t provoke others, she would be safe.

Although the golden light was powerful enough to restrain the jade talisman, Ling Tian could clearly sense it was gradually being worn down by the talisman. After all, the jade talisman was the latest seal devised by the Yin-Yang Divine Ancestor, stronger than the golden light.

However, the more he dwelled on such thoughts, the more he found himself in peril. Several times, he barely escaped death by dodging the fierce attacks of the northern beast lions.

Most importantly, during the human race’s previous expansion, Emperor Xiangyu had successfully crossed the Boundary Emperor’s tribulation and decisively slain an ancient alien emperor, announcing to the world his attainment of the Mixed Void Boundary Emperor realm and the supreme glory of becoming a Human Emperor.

Faced with so many northern beast lions lunging at once, after gauging their strength, Tian Jian had no choice but to change tactics. Rather than confronting them head-on in a bloody battle, he chose to evade their pounces temporarily.

Liu Gu was stunned by the transformation of the golden carp. Yesterday, the fish had been somewhat slender, but after a night of feeding, it had changed dramatically. Its body was noticeably fuller, and its scales shone brightly instead of dull.

In the Wild State, Jun Yixiao naturally would not venture, for records showed countless high-level cultivators had perished there, including immortal emperors who never returned! Thus, only two options remained.

Moreover, practicing in the personal space at night left Su Lingfeng feeling refreshed and full of energy during the day. He finally appreciated the benefits of such a space.

At that moment, a hotel waiter pushed in a sleek cart draped with a piece of red silk, hiding whatever lay beneath.

Before Juyong Pass, Liu Rui bid farewell to Diao Qi. This time, Liu Rui planned to leave Diao Qi with 20,000 troops to defend Juyong Pass, guarding the eastern gateway to buy time and opportunity for himself to reclaim Zhuo County and eliminate the main forces of Tongma in Shanggu County. He also left Liu Long and Ma Wu to garrison the pass.

“But how can the accusation of adultery be cleared? That’s the most pressing matter now,” Uncle Wang worried aloud.

Yang Zaiyi reached out to pinch Jiang Qinqin’s firm rear and said, “Then I’ll go take a look.” After speaking, he left, closed the door behind him, and rang Peng Nan’s doorbell next door.

Su Lingfeng’s floor-length hair and violet eyes made him look even more exotic and striking.

“It’s not that—they didn’t forbid fighting; I defeated them all,” Lin Feng said casually, as if he didn’t understand the implication in Kou Le’er’s words.

“Did my husband feel that Le’er was treated unfairly?” Originally attentive, Kou Le’er now seemed displeased, as if unhappy that she had been beaten.

The words were harsh but true. Mu Canghai had been resurrected but could no longer touch his former loved ones. “Senior Yaoguang granted him the power, but I fear… Senior Yaoguang has bound him somehow,” Yun Feng finally spoke after pondering, while Qu Lanyi remained silent.
