Those who had to climb Mount Tianshan were not merely ordinary people—even Chen Sinan, who continuously maintained his protective sword aura, was steadily expending his strength. Fortunately, his swordsmanship had broken through to a higher realm within the Demon-Sealing Pagoda, and the sword energy in his body was extraordinarily abundant. Otherwise, he truly could not have endured such consumption.

“I have finally fallen in love with this era. If this is a dream, I would rather never wake up!” The thought arose in Gao Jingzong’s mind without warning. The heart he had suppressed for so long suddenly surged forth like a mountain torrent, sweeping away every attempt to restrain it and catching Gao Jingzong completely off guard.

In the valley, Wu Chao gave a lecture to the commander of the First Regiment and the six battalion commanders of the Second Division of the Whale Corps, all of whom had followed him the longest.

Only then did Yifang realize that he had said too much. Sweat immediately broke out across his forehead, and he hurriedly said, “Butler Fan…” After uttering those three words, however, he no longer knew what to say.

Sun Dasheng had packed all the palace maids from the temporary palace into his spatial bag and brought them to Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Feng Qing did not hesitate either. He told Chen Sinan and Feng Xuan everything he knew.

Such deep hatred had caused every branch of the Yehe clan, apart from the Nara clan, which had married into the Aisin Gioro family, to remain hostile toward the Aisin Gioro clan to this day, making them exceedingly difficult to win over and employ.

For more than two hours, the three Han men had watched from a secluded place in the distance as the Ming army charged toward the city walls again and again, only to be driven back and slaughtered by Qing soldiers each time. Their blood boiled, and they were exhilarated beyond measure.

When Liu Shouguang saw this, he secretly rejoiced. With so many waves of beasts holding back Qin Ding, that Qin bandit would certainly not be leaving the Beast Tide Secret Realm anytime soon.

“Hey, look at the person behind the dragon-elephant. Can’t you figure out why the dragon-elephants attacked Wuweizi?” Zuo Wuchang said.

Everyone looked at one another. Apparently, all the cold wind they had stood there enduring for so long that night had been endured for nothing.

“Young Master Jiang, there is no need to be so courteous. As I said just now, so long as the Yanjiang Auction House is willing to help me find something, I will let bygones be bygones,” Rui Wenyue said.

The demon’s sweet words echoed in her ears, the demon’s warmth enveloped her body, and the demon’s mark remained upon her lips. She tilted her head slightly, like a sacrificial offering awaiting the demon’s touch.

Li Wanrou was not reserved either. After a single day of growing closer, she and Song Feng no longer felt any distance between them. Instead, they seemed to regret having met so late in life.

Judging by Elder Yuan’s existence in the Upper Immortal Realm, the other party’s cultivation had to be at least that of an Earth Immortal—perhaps even higher.

Now that she had come to the Diyuan Abyss, she intended to make one final attempt to see whether the Silver-Tongue Fruit could truly cure her. If it could not, she would accept her fate.

“Who?” An Ying pretended not to understand. She raised her head and gave the tall man with whom she had fallen in love at first sight a faint smile.

Chu Wushang, who had originally been furious with Zhou Chen, suddenly saw the light. Not only did he no longer resent Zhou Chen, he was filled with admiration for him instead.

A few gamblers had also placed their bets on Rui Wenyue, but there were not many of them. After all, Liang Xiao not only had the backing of the Zhaotian Sect, but also possessed a dragon spirit root. Such fortune and talent were beyond what ordinary people could hope to match.

On the other hand, they felt that with Emperor Taihe beside Prince Cen, even if the Crown Prince possessed the courage of a bear and a leopard, he would still show some restraint.

“This is a silver-ringed snake. Its venom is deadly. If you do not want to die, start talking,” Chen Xi said, growing impatient.

He had always looked down on Gu Junhao’s status as an illegitimate son, but out of consideration for Gu Huanan, he had lavished him with all kinds of praise.

Heh. She refused to believe that, upon seeing her like this and comparing her with that frightening bastard, Shen Weiqing would still choose that rustic village girl.

He did not hurry to see Su Shanshan. All his enthusiasm had been extinguished by those foul emotions. He had waited half the day for the bus, even though he could have arrived much earlier.

At the meeting where Xiao Cheng had forced Qin Mu to resign, Wang Mingtang’s act of speaking on Xiao Cheng’s behalf, upon closer examination afterward, was actually meant to help Qin Mu.

Their houses were built from massive stones. From a distance, they looked like one strange wild beast after another growing abruptly out of the desert.

Injuries and deaths were unavoidable in the conflicts among the Star Disciples, but their constant clashes also invisibly strengthened them. Otherwise, how could they face the savage and murderous demonic cultivators beyond the Quicksand River?

“Isn’t that obvious? People are already sitting down. What else would they do—search the news and compare the photographs?” Sun Yuan laughed and scolded.

After a month, we returned to Liancheng together with the Tang family. Because of the Tang family’s warm insistence that we stay, we spent another week with them. During that month and more, the Tang family took excellent care of us, and while staying there I also gained a deeper understanding of this world.

When Old Madam Song heard me call her “Grandmother,” she appeared even happier and said, “Yes. From now on, I am your real grandmother.”

“Yes!” But what left Li Cheng depressed was that nearly everyone nodded in unison.

“Isn’t this an antique? It must be very old. It was bought together with the two jars.” Old Lu looked puzzled.

Storage rings themselves were extremely expensive. Even the rings alone were already worth a great deal.

That alone left Ye Han utterly perplexed. How could there be demons on this road to the Celestial Ladder?

Given Ye Zhengfeng’s strength, once he concealed his aura, how could they possibly have noticed him? He was no different from the air around them. Ye Zhengfeng had walked past them without being detected, and it was only after he struck just now that someone recognized him.

“This is your duty. We should cooperate,” Tiberius said indifferently.

Demodocus and his trusted followers saw that the situation was turning against them. One after another, they gathered their families and fled toward the harbor, hoping to escape Magna Graecia by ship.

He had never imagined that the enormous Sicilian fleet would be almost completely destroyed by a single storm. This caused Dionysia’s naval advantage in Sicily to weaken considerably, and it also meant that the war between Dionysia and Carthage might undergo some kind of change. For that reason, Davos immediately convened an emergency military council.

Cai Shishi fell silent for a moment. Ye Zhengfeng was right: the security in Lan Yicheng was far more stringent than they had imagined. If they caused even the slightest disturbance in Lan Yicheng at a time like this, they would likely be caught the very next moment.

At those words, Titus turned and glanced at Quintus, who was climbing the stone steps into the city. A flash of irritation crossed his face and vanished.
