Chapter 62: Overbearing and Arrogant

Therefore, this was what Chu Yun meant by bad news.

Hearing these words, Li Xian nodded and agreed deeply, saying, "However, Your Highness, this matter is ultimately too far removed from us. Let me pose a hypothetical scenario: you say... if we were to subsequently encounter these envoys in the imperial capital, would we be able to uphold justice?"

Li Xian was quite curious.

Chu Yun's expression shifted drastically, and he hastily said in a stern voice, "Brother Li, you must never think like that! We cannot allow such a possibility to even occur; we need to avoid them as much as possible! Among the delegations of the Qi and Chu states, there is no shortage of high-ranking princes and nobles from both realms, and the crown princes themselves might even arrive! And they..."

Right away, Xu Xianyong felt a profound sense of strangeness, as not a single dragon-snake could be sensed across the massive peak. This filled him with awe at just how powerful Elder Zhou truly was; this single feat alone placed him leagues ahead.

Upon seeing this contingent arrive, Guyun's expression turned gloomy, knowing that defeat was now inevitable today. Over fifty members of the Mending Heaven Pool had perished, and while Wu Zhao and her companions had yet to be dealt with, the arrival of this fresh reinforcement meant it would likely be impossible to take Wu Zhao's life today.

Ripples constantly spread outward, resembling a stone dropped into an ink painting, leaving it uncertain whether the ink was dissolving the white stone or if the stone was tearing a hole through the ink wash.

The man who had been hurrying toward this direction from afar felt like a fool. Without a moment's hesitation, he hacked off his own arm, sending a surge of spiritual radiance rippling outward.

The first reaction of the three god-tier beings upon recovering their sight was to locate the position of the Endless Emperor. Only after finding him safe did they heave a sigh of relief.

Ever since she was captured and slain by Xu Qi, the hatred burning in her heart was truly beyond description, and she constantly racked her brains for ways to exact revenge.

Yet a chill crept into his heart; the world seemed on the verge of shattering. Of course, the world Ye Bai referred to was merely the realm.

Looking closely in concentration, Xiao Nuo was horrified to discover that within the heads of the two wind eagles, two contractual star runes were faintly flickering.

The Sand-Soil Pigs were extremely cunning, possessed immense strength, and favored damp, gloomy habitats, making their traces very difficult to spot. Several items on the high-bounty acquisition list of the Cangsong Tribe originated from the Sand-Soil Pigs.

One must realize that the hardship involved here was far more agonizing than enduring loneliness and cultivating in solitude.

Lu Kun felt a stirring of excitement. His method of physical recovery differed somewhat from that of the Wood Spirit Clan; as long as the primordial blood within his body remained, his physical form could continuously regenerate.

Since magical treasures could be used within the Heavenly Prison, these bullets could naturally be utilized as well. Even if the internal power was dispersed at the instant of the explosion, by the time the Demon-Suppressing Stone took effect, the bullet had already detonated, and despite the suppression effect, the lethality was more than sufficient.

The surroundings had fallen entirely silent; the previous jeering voices vanished completely. The surrounding onlookers now stared in utter astonishment at Yang Yu and Shi San! Many found it utterly unimaginable! There were even various lingering emotions such as jealousy, envy, bafflement, and suspicion.

The final mountain range was the Yueyang Mountain Range in the southernmost part of Luzhou. The spiritual energy of the Yueyang Mountain Range was slightly inferior to that of the Yunling Mountain Range, yet it contained an abundance of fine iron and brass veins. The founding patriarch of the Yueyang Sect had taken a fancy to this terrain, establishing the Yueyang Sect several millennia before the founding of the Demon Spirit Gate.

Just as everyone fled some seven or eight li away, Qin Yan suddenly burst forth from beneath the ground, turned around, and walked resolutely back into the bewildering maze.

At the same time, Qian Cang'an and the two others were still searching for a suitable ambush site. In fact, they had already found two such locations earlier, but neither was entirely satisfactory, as clean-up operations had to be considered after executing the ambush.

Ye Qingmei had originally been obscure in the Great Zhou due to her unassertive personality. However, not long ago, having been chosen as an exchange student from the Great Zhou to attend the Guanglin Academy in the Great Jin, she followed her master's instructions and achieved a brilliant breakthrough at the grand competition of the Jixia Academy, thereby making her mark and stepping into the limelight.

The words had barely fallen when numerous powerhouses materialized around the assassin, glaring at him with murderous intent.

The next moment, Jin abruptly withdrew his hand and shoved it into his pocket, looking very much like a video game player who had successfully cleared a level. With casual indifference, he turned and headed in the direction of Dogo Toro.

Following that, the disciple walked toward the beast enclosure. After retrieving the bamboo rat, he intended to walk in the direction opposite to the giant tree's formation. As he walked, a cold gust of wind swept past, his mind went numb, and then he lost consciousness.

Ji Qianqian still appeared calm, but her hands began to wave incessantly, hurling one sin-tainted demonic plague formation after another toward the gray-robed man. Beneath the sweeping strokes of the longsword in the gray-robed man's grip, those formations shattered directly without the slightest hesitation.

When Long Yanhua awoke, she had only a single sensation—pain. Every bone in her body felt as though it had fallen apart, aching so severely that she could barely move.

Upon seeing this, Chen Fei was momentarily stunned. "What kind of cultivation technique is this? Why does it share similarities with my Heavenly Punishment Divine Ability?" Opening his divine eyes, he looked up into the high heavens and spotted a faint, colossal eye gazing downward from the firmament.

Upon hearing that the two Martial Saints were setting off together, the other Southern Domain experts—some of whom had been agonizing over whether to follow behind the Blood-Red Martial Saint or the Awe-Inspiring Martial Saint—no longer needed to deliberate; following directly behind the two Martial Saints to secure personal safety was clearly the wisest course of action.

"Weiwei, are you planning to take a bath with him?" Uncle Song, being somewhat older, had a rough inkling of the situation. In his understanding, only humans used tubs and similar vessels when bathing.

"Why would you suddenly think of becoming a general and taking over the rotten mess of the Four Directions Army?" Although they had been separated for the past few years, he still understood her fairly well. She would normally run far away from such troublesome messes; why would she plunge into it unprovoked?

"Hehe. Hehe. Uncle, I don't really have any close family or elders. You must make the decisions for us. I've always regarded you both as my own parents." Fusheng was overjoyed inside. This was the first time Mingyue's parents had proactively brought up the matter, which meant her family had already accepted the arrangement.

Just as she remembered that she shouldn't reveal why she was taken in, her second brother suddenly questioned her, causing Long Yanhua to break into a fit of coughing. Raising her head to meet dozens of curious, inquiring gazes, she hesitated for a moment, deciding it was best to say something after all.

"Hmph, as I said, you are definitely no ordinary commoner! Coming here of your own accord this time, you surely can't just be here to tell me this, right?" Lin Jiaren had already mentally categorized him among those who possessed some hidden tricks.
