Chapter 146: Tian Meixue Comes Knocking

This matter lingered in Li Qingyun’s heart for a long time before it finally subsided. Living in such a cutthroat world, life is incredibly difficult for a woman; all she could manage to look after were herself and those closest to her.

Nineteen sixty-seven arrived as scheduled. Once New Year’s Day passed, the twelfth lunar month began in earnest. With the weather freezing, Li Qingyun stayed huddled at home, focusing on eating and drinking. Dabao, acting the part of an older brother, took on the responsibility of looking after his younger brother, while she focused on keeping the two little ones fed and working on crafting her own down jacket—a garment from the future that she had missed dearly.

Ever since winter set in, the household...

Following this battle, the Demon Sect’s strongholds in Gunzhou were completely eradicated. The major sects had also suffered heavy losses, but after recuperating in Gunzhou for half a month, there were no further reports of surprise attacks by the Demon Sect.

“Look at how considerate your sister is. Work hard, earn more money, and treat your sister well in the future.” Wang Zhenzhen was a perceptive woman; she could clearly see where Bai Su’s heart lay.

“It’s actually him? How could he be here participating in this selection tournament? This is truly incredible!” Lin Xiao, standing beside Su Yi, had clearly heard of this “Heavenly Evil.”

It was another tearful farewell, but A-Jiu did not feel the melancholy of previous times, for Lan He had promised that once she returned to Southern Border and settled matters for Great Chieftain Lan, she would come to Jiangzhou to visit her.

Reincarnation takes a heavy toll on the spirit. At this moment, Ye Linxi already looked slightly weary, yet she still commanded this magic—which could well be called a miracle—with an air of heroic spirit.

“Old Grandmother Black?” Liansheng grew curious about the Immortal-Inviting Shamanism. He had heard of this Old Grandmother Black’s name back at the Hu family residence, but he did not know what kind of power she truly possessed that allowed her to lead all the Immortal-Inviting Shamans in the Northeast.

Walking inward with focused attention, Bai Yi held her Tang saber and strolled forward. She pushed open a black wooden door that reeked of cooking fumes, revealing a room filled with pots, pans, and kitchen utensils.

What surprised both of them, however, was that the second ring of light had become extremely thin, appearing almost transparent. Its power was also incredibly weak, unable to even sever a branch as thick as a finger; it merely left a shallow mark, as if a thin, sharp piece of paper had been drawn across the wood.

After handing over the Wish-Fulfilling Qiankun Bag he had obtained from the ambusher, along with all its contents, Ye Feng had no desire to wander and returned directly to the Scripture Depository.

Watching Ye Kai and the others leave, the apothecary boy muttered something to himself, then stared into the distance and let out a helpless sigh.

Zhao Xian had no objections. Elder Gongyang was effectively in charge here; whatever time he set was fine. To Zhao Xian, it was just a matter of delivering one more strike, so he was happy to take it easy.

Upon receiving the magic artifact containing the primordial beast soul, Wu Maxin immediately took Ma Ji and rushed back to Star City; he did not want to linger in the sect for even a second longer.

As time passed, the Qiang tribes arrived one after another. A hundred-thousand-strong army surrounded the entire city of Lushi, though they had yet to begin their assault. Ding Li forbade his generals from engaging, spending his days in his quarters studying maps, his gaze fixed on the lair of the Western Qiang tribes as he waited for news from Uesugi Kenshin.

Later, when relatives from the North came to visit the sick, they intentionally leaked some information, prompting Zhen Zhen to take the initiative to go to the “Five Immortals Temple” to pray and worship, where she was eventually handed the secret techniques of the “Witch-Ghost Path.”

Fortunately, it didn’t matter; they had bathed together the very first day they arrived at Star City High School, and there was nothing left to hide. Helping her put on her pants now was no big deal.

“Retreat!” A Winged-Man commander, likely of lower rank than Guangmu Tian, saw that the situation was dire and issued the order. The Winged-Man warriors spread their wings and flew back to the warships hovering in mid-air.

Wang Kai laughed heartily, raised his hand, and with a beckoning gesture, snatched the self-absorbed Yi Shu directly toward him.

Little did they know, if not for the vast disparity in their strength, there would have been no need for Dongfang Ziyan to act; even the Eastern Emperor would have been unable to restrain himself from striking first.
