Chapter 112: Xu Lingzi

Xu Lingzi seemed intent on investigating who had been slaughtering the common folk in this region. Unfamiliar with many affairs of the mortal realm, he tacitly allowed this low-level cultivator—who had only barely reached the Void-Peering stage in his middle age—to accompany him. Through conversation, Qin Yue learned that Xu Lingzi was born in the Immortal Realm and was a powerful figure of the third realm. He felt that Xu Lingzi was quite different from the likes of Old Ding and Old Mo; he was relatively purer, without so many convoluted schemes in his mind. Of course, it is difficult to judge one's true nature in such a short time.

Yuzhu was neither a quintessential villain nor a proper gentleman; he walked a line between righteousness and evil. Naturally, he had a fondness for beauty, but he held a personal bottom line: unless absolutely necessary, he would not frequent brothels. Having said this, the captain of the city guard revealed a kindly smile, his large hands rubbing his rotund belly.

However, even a top-tier artifact refined for tens of thousands of years could not withstand such force, let alone a mortal body. It would likely be pulverized into a mist of blood before even being touched.

After Ning Chuan finished his questioning, he singled out the remaining eight evil cultivators and interrogated them one by one.

Qiu Xuan brushed his sleeves with an air of nonchalance, as if merely flicking away dust. The flames vanished without a trace, and he looked at Antu Lei with a relaxed expression, a hint of a smile in his eyes. This sensation made it seem as if, in their eyes, Qin Xuan had already become a dead man.

Jiang Yu, having gained the upper hand with one strike, lunged forward again, his entire body radiating golden light, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.

For those below the thirtieth level, camping in the wild at night remained fraught with immense danger.

After suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of Tang Bing last time, Yuzhu had learned his lesson. His examination basket was now fully stocked with all the necessary tools, ensuring he would never again suffer such a silent loss.

The water-like night did not let a single ray of light escape; hundreds of faint, ghostly dots of light slowly emerged in the surrounding forest.

Beyond this, Jiang Chuan exhausted every means to strengthen the forces under Li Hongyu. Following the successive conquest of the Northern Shiwei and the Great Shiwei, the Bo Shiwei and Shenmo Da Shiwei also defected to his side.

If not for the use of a massive quantity of level-four biological energy as a substitute, Li Yang would likely not have possessed ten billion fourth-generation nanobots by now.

The others hurriedly tightened their grips on their weapons, looking around nervously. However, because the tomb was so densely packed with spiderwebs—covering nearly the entire ceiling and much of the floor—we stood there for a long time without catching a glimpse of the giant spider.

Only those who have practiced the Essence-Gathering Technique can truly understand the intent expressed by the pose in the diagram. That movement guides the internal true essence to inject into specific acupoints, allowing particular meridians to draw out genuine power.

When they caught sight of the youth in the jade carriage, they immediately associated him with the demonic youth who had killed that Great Completion Emperor with a single palm strike.

If not for the rhythmic rise and fall of Hui Jiong’s chest, and the fact that many of the high monks were well-versed in the arts of medicine, one might have assumed he had already passed away into nirvana.

"It is good that you recognize quality; don't even think about influencing my divine sense!" He slammed his palms together, and flames erupted, coalescing from his palms into a massive wheel of fire a hundred meters in diameter. He hurled it at the Thousand-Stone King; as he swung, the space around them fractured and trembled.

Originally, during times of war, the position of leader was a hot potato, and it didn't matter if it were given to Li Mi. However, as the Wagang Army grew stronger, more heroes from all walks of life came to join, and the territory occupied by the army expanded, the conflicts between the internal factions intensified rapidly.

Ever since he had crossed paths with those Buddhist monks in Jiankang, Wang Ze had gone to meet Chen Baxian, while Chen Duan had mingled with the Taoist priests of various sects in the Southern Dynasties, choosing not to return to Qingzhou with Wang Ze.

He had long considered establishing a professional and massive scientific research institution. Unfortunately, the timing was not right, his knowledge base was insufficient, and five hundred million in capital might not even be enough.
