Volume 1, Chapter 58: Rotten Meat Hell 15: Pursuit

Flame Lingji looked at Zhang Qian’s back through the flickering flames; his shoulders were slightly drooped, making him appear suddenly hunched.

"Hehehehe... Calling the three of us blockheads, I'd say you lot are the real fools. Today, I'll show you what true cunning and scheming look like." The Green-Haired Lion wore a wretched grin.

"Alright then... A token... A treasure... How about the Eight-Diagrams Purple-Ribbon Immortal Robe..." Zhang Jiuling originally intended to gift this magical immortal robe, but upon seeing the one worn by Immortal Bijin, he realized his was no better than the one she already had. Moreover, the Eight-Diagrams Purple-Ribbon Immortal Robe was styled more for men.

Of course, the four of them were hardly going to eat at a roadside food stall, so they headed to the Red Romance Barbecue House and secured a private room.

Finally, as their true qi collided, Ouyang Li spat blood and staggered back four paces, barely managing to catch himself against the railing.

"Fine, fine, fine. I know you're full of book smarts, so I won't waste my breath with you. Let's go." Chen Geng grabbed his younger brother's hand and turned to leave.

"Splendid! All three judges have unanimously awarded a score of 9. Now, let's welcome the audience vote!" Weller announced, holding the microphone.

Gu Yunyi smiled sweetly as she calculated what she should leave behind to ensure her days ahead were filled with joy and comfort. As she pondered, a brilliant idea struck her, and she couldn't help but chuckle aloud.

Following that, Qin Hu picked up Qin An’s wooden spear, leaped out of the carriage box, and desperately pursued them in the opposite direction.

"Precisely. I handed thousands of herdsmen over to them; how could we possibly lose this battle?" Li Wu nodded with an expression of profound approval, looking thoroughly satisfied.

The martial arts hall where Duan Rui currently resided was left behind by Duan Lingtian, divided into a front courtyard and a rear courtyard. The front courtyard featured a martial arts training ground, a dedicated practice room, and four resting chambers. The rear courtyard was specially designated by Duan Lingtian as a quiet living space, complete with three sealed chambers meant for closed-door seclusion.

Now that Su Ling had reached the realm of nine meridians, she familiarized herself with the Ninefold Scorching Heavens in advance, which would make her practice even more fluid once she broke through her meridians to form spiritual springs.

A trace of an eerie smile played at the corners of Gong Suxin’s lips. She murmured softly to herself, ceased watching the battle, and turned to leave. However, before departing, the most crucial task at hand was to collect payment.

"Sister-in-law, before Elder Bai passed away, he gave a detailed account of how you two conspired to murder Deputy Master Ma. Do you have anything left to say for yourself?" Qiao Feng simply could not bear to look at the malicious expression on Madam Ma’s face any longer. If he had once thought her beautiful, looking at her now revealed only utter hideousness and distortion.

The moment Brother Qiang heard the familiar ringtone, he hung up his phone, and the ringing of Er Gen’s phone abruptly ceased right along with it.

Holding the large red envelope, Li Simeng felt a bitter knot in her stomach. On this New Year's Eve, she had retreated to her room alone. Gazing at the red envelope in her hand and recalling Li Yaomin’s blatant favoritism toward Li Zhi, the corners of her eyes trembled slightly, though ultimately, no tears fell.

"Did you hear that? Just make the modifications your junior brother suggested. If any more problems arise, see if I don't tan your hide!" Tian Buyi clearly grasped the underlying principles, snorting coldly.

In her past life, under the escort of a band of sworn brothers and with Jiang Yu’s assistance, Yu Yao'er had traveled to Tongluo Mountain with her few remaining companions.

No matter how she teased him in ordinary times, he would never grow angry; instead, he always went out of his way to help her. Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqin forcefully roused the immortal arts within her! Her blue dress transformed once again into battle armor, and the supreme-grade immortal artifact 'Flowing Blade, Rippling Water' materialized in her hands.

Even just a fragment of a soul was enough to crush the Ruler Realm. Such an entity and the creatures of the Ruler Realm belonged to entirely different orders of existence, separated by an unbridgeable chasm.

In the past, Elder Tang would have gladly exchanged a few words with Elder Hu, but ever since the Hu family called off the marriage, Elder Tang looked at Elder Hu with utter displeasure.

The livestream feed remained motionless. As the occasional person shifted in their sleep, some fans simply drifted off holding their phones.

That is, Yan Kuang! You bastard, it must be you! You're trying to ruin this old man, so this old man... I'm going to settle this score with you. The next instant, the old man vanished from the spot.

"Very well, is it a deal?" Yuan Cheng asked, overjoyed. He had originally assumed that once he ate his fill, that would be the end of it, but Ye Mingchu was actually being this generous?

Due to a sudden surge in candidates arriving in the capital for the imperial examinations, lodging was severely strained, leaving Shaoling with no choice but to share a bed with Du Miao once again tonight.

Reaching the highest realm of swordsmanship meant understanding the principle of complete integration. Every weapon possessed its own spiritual awareness; they yearned to be wielded, they yearned for battle. Above all, they yearned for a true name. Ye Feng no longer viewed them merely as tools of war, but as trusted companions.

"I can have the items delivered for you, but you must stay on this side; you cannot cross over," the police officer stated.

At that moment, an imperial diarist bearing a massive stack of classics approached Li Yunhan, explaining that by Prime Minister Lin’s decree, he was ordered to extract passages concerning statecraft from past dynasties and complete the task within three days.

Special Effect · Underwater Breathing: Grants the player the respiratory capability of aquatic creatures while submerged, eliminating the risk of oxygen deprivation.

Yang Xuangans expressed his objections to his father's resolute decision to return to Daxing alongside Yang Zhao, but his father categorically rejected his plea, leaving him with no choice but to relent. The hundreds of members of the Yang family packed their belongings and journeyed back to Daxing in tow.

"Those fellows are utterly delusional, thinking a single weapon strike could possibly intimidate us. What a ridiculous joke. If a tiger doesn't bare its claws, they treat it like a sick cat—I will certainly show them no mercy," Mo Qiankun laughed dismissively.

Watching quietly as the pill within the cauldron, on the verge of completion, dissolved once more into wisps of black smoke, feeling utterly helpless against the failure.

Fortunately it was so, otherwise Ye Cangling wouldn't have dispatched those Level 5 creatures with such ease.

Likewise, Ye Cangling’s Heaven-Reversal Decree operated on the same principle, its priority superseding the opponent’s Evil Dispelling, causing the adversary to negate only a single layer of sword intent—effectively trading a quarter of a skill for the opponent's complete one.
