42. Congratulations

This time, Long Qi was finally able to see the true appearance of the Rejuvenation Pill: it was perfectly round, shrouded in wisps of unspotted medicinal fragrance, with purple and yellow hues unevenly distributed across its surface. Even before bringing it close to his nose, Long Qi could smell a rich aroma of agarwood.

After a momentary silence, an eruption of massive cheers broke out among the ranks. The preceding events had caused everyone's emotions to rollercoaster wildly up and down.

Having cycled through countless reincarnations, even her combat techniques had originally been taught to her by the other party.

The previously neat and uniform Imperial Guards suddenly heard these unfamiliar commands and instantly fell into complete disarray. Fueled by this sudden confusion, they blundered directly into the wet, muddy sand and debris where the bandits had just retreated.

He vaguely felt that the intricate patterns covering the full-body armor formed by the physical bodies of those Abyss entities... seemed familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

"Go on, Ouyang Liuliu, are you ready to go to the Central World with me? I need someone who understands it," Fang Ye suddenly said to Ouyang Liuliu.

The Ten Great Battle Spirits were like wild dogs catching the scent of blood. Before Qin Chuan could even speak, the moment any Yellow Springs Essence Fish was caught, it would be torn to pieces without a single chance to fight back.

As she spoke, she even exposed the accessories at her waist. Far from having a spatial pouch, she didn't even carry an ordinary pouch, which actually lent her words a semblance of credibility.

Next, he took out some special items scavenged from an adult store, strapped them onto the zombies' bodies and mouths, connected them with hemp ropes, and modified a handcart into a human-powered—or rather, corpse-powered—cart.

"There is some skill to him, but he is wounded, heavily wounded. Do not let him escape!" shouted the entity with a single horn growing between its brows.

The disciples clucked their tongues in wonder. While they somewhat looked down on Long Qingchen for relying on a "lizard" to bully others, they had to admit that his beast-taming skills were truly formidable. The fierce and violent lizard-dragon was practically no different from a watchdog kept at home when facing him; fierce to outsiders, yet utterly terrified of its master.

There were still a few accessories left. Yin Mo insisted on selling for a little longer before leaving, but I didn't mind either way since I had nothing urgent to attend to.

Qi Xuanjing nodded. Emperor Changkong's move could certainly be considered brilliant. In this way, not only could the elites of the demon clan be preserved, but these transformed demons could also be used to exhaust the living strength of the human race.

Ye Zhen was stunned and did not dodge, simply waiting for the blade to press against his neck. Actually, Ye Zhen just wanted to know if this person had the guts to do it. "Don't come over! I'm not a security guard here at all. All of you are going to die, all of you!" As he spoke, the knife dropped to the ground, likely because his hands had gone weak.

Ye Zhen asked if the Holy Lord had eaten yet. The Holy Lord replied that he couldn't be bothered, but Ye Zhen was hungry, so he managed to persuade the Holy Lord to go out for a meal together. Song Hu returned shortly after, carrying several food boxes, and the three of them quickly finished the meal.

After remaining dormant for a few years, it had resurfaced, only to be suppressed again, and then resurfaced once more. In short, as long as the realm was unstable, the root could never be completely eradicated. The Ju clan of Shuibashan lived closest to the bandits' lair and had been repeatedly raided and harassed, making the bandits the Ju clan's most acute threat, while the Ju clan had also launched multiple sneak attacks on them.

Yet Ming Fan was different. In his eyes, there seemed to be no division between noble and base. He gave off a very sunny vibe, radiating hope and providing a sense of unprecedented security. But the better he treated her, the more frightened Yu Manli became. If he ever found out about her past, would he still treat her this way?

Shi Xiaofeng looked in the direction of the sound, still seeing no one, but noticing an unmarked black off-road vehicle parked in a triangular zone where the end of Chinatown intersected with another street.

Afterwards, Ye Zhen accompanied Jiang Ningning on a shopping trip. At noon, after eating at a Western restaurant, Ye Zhen prepared to send Jiang Ningning back to the Jiang family estate. She mentioned that to get Ye Zhen to accompany her this morning, she hadn't even let him know when she sneaked back to the Jiang family yesterday afternoon, fearing that he wouldn't go back, even though it had been agreed upon with Mother Jiang and Mother Ye, but Ye Zhen hadn't returned last night anyway.

Shortly after, two waiters carrying a large paper box walked into the room and placed it in a corner. Following closely behind them, Ding Zhen appeared unsteadily at the doorway.

Chen Feng's eyebrows lifted, unsure of what Lin Ruolan meant. "If you think it is, then it is," he replied with extreme indifference, almost sounding perfunctory.

"You said before that I am your friend now, so you'll help me out, right?" Lu Xia confirmed once again.

A golden light emanated from Ling Luo's body, complementing the Five-Dragon Golden Armor. He looked majestic and awe-inspiring, with royal might radiating from him. The golden spiritual energy was precisely controlled within an inch of his body, completely enveloping him like a divine general in golden armor.

Half a quarter of an hour flashed by. Shang Hu slowly regained consciousness from his faint, his pale complexion quickly returning to a rosy glow, and his cultivation base even undergoing subtle changes.

When it came to the art of debate, Jia Xu was much more adept than Zhang Rang. After he finished speaking, he managed to make Zhang Rang feel that he was not being coerced, yet at the same time, he was unmistakably coercing him, leaving Zhang Rang completely helpless.

Although Yunyao could not see what Geshukuang had done, judging by his words, she knew he must have used some method to prove whether she could truly see or not. It was a pity that she genuinely could not see; even if she could, she would not intentionally pretend to be blind just to infiltrate the Beidi military camp.

"Uh, is that a lot? For an army as powerful as Xiliang, a mere three thousand horses should be a drop in the bucket, right? Besides, your Xiliang army suffered such insults from the Xiongnu previously; surely you need to go win back your honor. By then, the horses returning won't just be three thousand!" Liu Tianhao laughed.
