Chapter 44

An argument suddenly broke out ahead. Zhang Jing felt a wave of suspicion, followed by the worst possible scenario sinking into his heart—could they have run into someone trying to steal their kill?

On the rather narrow path ahead, the carriage procession of the Duke of Ping's estate coincidentally crossed paths with the procession of Prince Jin's estate.

"Open the door, and all of you pay attention—not even a fly must be allowed to escape!" Lei was extremely cautious, having heard much about the cunning and treachery of the Saint Son of the Miao Curse.

However, Zhou Ling'er had no intention of letting it rest now. She pursued Qin Yi relentlessly, launching a fierce barrage of attacks. Regardless of whether her blows landed or not, she was now so consumed by rage that she could no longer hear a single word of reason.

Park Yong-gil, don't think I am unaware of your tricks. If you dare to take me lightly, I will make sure you don't have a single night of peace either.

That was a deep part of the forest where the trees grew in bizarre, crooked shapes. Their trunks were riddled with dense, countless holes. Some trees were uprooted entirely, others were snapped cleanly in the middle, and many were completely bare, stripped of all leaves.

In truth, Zhai Xizhou would have preferred to use a nickname for Youruo, but constrained by the presence of everyone around, he changed it to Lady Du.

Lin Yuhao ran while vigilantly observing the movements around him, preparing himself to defend at a moment's notice.

"Devouring Blood Realm." At the very outset of the siege, Feng Wuhen unleashed this trump card and fatal move. He hadn't even used the Devouring Blood Realm against Lin Zichen, which showed just how much importance he attached to this Heaven-tier spirit beast, the Dark Moon Tiger King.

Poor Kawamomo Shinta thus had to return the newly warmed-up Heavenly Gathering Cloud Sword right back to Lin Yuhao.

Young Master Lingyun had arrived in high spirits yesterday, yet he never expected that just as he stepped down from his carriage and mounted the Koi Terrace, a shout of "Start!" would ring out.

Lin Youning, however, was finding it hard to sit still. Originally, there was nothing whatsoever between her and Xu Kuan, but now that Big Brother put it that way, it made her sound like some kind of fickle woman. Ning Nian wanted to step down, but Gu Yifeng refused to release his grip. With her heavily pregnant belly, how could she possibly break free? In the end, she could only be forcibly pressed against his embrace.

Liang Hui, on the other hand, was not in a rush to leave. After all, Lin Youning did not even have an elder present on her side, so she and Zhao Housheng stayed behind.

The imperial prison was gloomy and chilling. Meng Ying reined in his wandering thoughts, pondering quietly why Zhu Di had decided to target him.

Beside the wardrobe was actually a bathing pool. The basin was filled with water, floating with scattered flower petals—clearly, Ni Cheng knew how to indulge himself, as he was just preparing for a rose petal banqueting bath.

The place where they lived was about two Li away from the bustling main street. The two did not take a carriage, and each brought two maidservants when they went out.

The site selection for the Martial Academy was already underway. Urged by Zhu Di, right in the middle of the New Year celebrations, Meng Ying and Liu Sheng searched everywhere outside the city, while Jin Zhong claimed illness and did not participate.

"Hmph, since that is the case, then let me witness the true power of your master-cultivated Dao," Qin Tongyuan sneered, drawing the saber hanging at his waist.

At this moment, he was utterly bewildered, having no clue what Sun Wukong was talking about. Yet, just as he intended to continue questioning, he saw Sun Wukong cheerfully put away the red soul-shard and stride out toward the mouth of the cave.

As long as one stepped out to fight, there was a chance of getting injured and a chance of dying. So why not hide away and quietly wait for the situation to shift? Because everyone thought this way, the numbers in the sky above changed at a perpetually sluggish pace.

Elisa patiently explained, "You should understand that under a power system, rules generally serve the rulers. The administrative capacity of the Inspectorate is limited—that is simply a feature of Twilight Town. By comparison, the Main Courtyard is far more democratic in this regard."

The Five Emperors and Ten Sovereigns desperately expanded their spheres of influence, driven solely by the desire to have that treasure manifest within their own territories.

In private, everyone addressed the boss as the God of Trade. Operating strictly according to the boss's directives, Black Shirt Capital was practically invincible, scoring consecutive victories time after time.

As soon as those words fell, an uproar erupted across the battlefield, accompanied mostly by skeptical voices from the apprentices of the Main Courtyard.

Gu Tianqing's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Holding the man moving atop her, she somehow felt that something had changed.

Zheng Yichen shook his head; there was nothing he could do if those fragments wanted to run. However, his experimental magical nuke from earlier had certainly obliterated all shard creatures in the vicinity. If this evil god continued to split off new ones afterward, there was simply no way to stop it.

"While the Prince Han's estate might not be overflowing with exceptional talents, the guards following by the Prince's side are quite decent. If any of you fancy someone, just speak up, and this Princess consort will play matchmaker for once to help broker a match," Nan Yunwan said with a smile.

This flood-dragon blood wine was crystal-clear and ruby-red. At first sniff, there was only a rich aroma of wine, entirely devoid of any fishy or bloody stench. Upon closer inhalation, one could even detect a faint, refreshing fragrance—the unique scent of a flood-dragon's blood.

This ten thousand points of faith energy was merely a drop in the bucket for him; whatever slipped through his fingers casually would amount to much more than that.

Chen Wang, a renowned nutritionist, head of the Food Science Department at Luoyang University, and a pioneer of modern dietary therapy.

He rose and left the courtyard, utilizing lightness skills to fly out of the Marquis's estate, and rendezvoused with someone at the back gate.

"Because they are wary of our strength. Should they deploy a lethal array, it might not necessarily kill us. Under such circumstances, the Spirit-Absorbing Array is far more formidable than a lethal array, because not only can it absorb spiritual energy, but its defensive power is also astonishingly high," Qin Jiuxuan explained.

Yu Qing remained silent. Whether they would cooperate depended entirely on Wu Hai's decision. The other party never wanted to cooperate with him in the first place, but rather with Wu Hai, who mastered the secret arts for entering and leaving the immortal palace. Knowing of Wu Hai's obsession regarding his son, Yu Qing guessed that Wu Hai would not refuse such a partnership.
