Volume One, Chapter 29: I Am Not Here to Harm You

He had provided all the necessary proof; aside from Tong’er, who returned with him from the Spirit Realm, no one remembered him. This was not an act, but reality.

“Earth Immortal, you stay here with the girl and Hei Ji. I’ll go out and have a look!” Qing Nian said and vanished in a flash.

However, if the man in black were to rescue him now, even though he had some disputes with the Zhao family, it was inconsequential. To these powerful clans, such matters were far from enough.

“This detestable human! Does he want to bury us all here?” Xue Zhong cursed angrily, his muscles tensing as if ready to charge forward.

Frightened, I gripped Qing Nian’s hand tightly. He remained calm, squeezing my palm reassuringly, as if telling me not to be afraid.

“Heh, Your Highnesses are too polite. How could I blame you? Besides, I’m not angry; I’m used to it,” Cai Zhixiong replied with a cheerful clasp of his fists.

What’s more, there were two mysterious men in black with formidable strength. Naturally, these families felt uneasy, though some were secretly pleased with the situation. After all, the six great clans had long been embroiled in intrigue and rivalry.

“The Eternal Divine Hall…” Lin Yun murmured, never expecting to see this place within a dream.

Inside the cave, the Nine-Lives Cat Demon looked rather guilty, a faint blush rising on her naturally enchanting yet slightly childish face.

“Sister, what on earth is going on? How could something like this happen to our family?” Her brother broke down in tears.

If Xu Feng hadn’t just subdued the Nether Ghost Lord, Murong Wan’er would have wished for time to stop at this moment, to remain in eternity.

Yes, it was a hatchet. Stone was about to answer Jin Gui, but realized his words were not a question but a statement. Puzzled, he looked up, casting a questioning glance at Jin Gui.

Not far away, the soldiers had disbanded and were resting on the ground. King Qin stood before Cai Li, speaking passionately about something.

Following the crowd like a mere spectator, unable to fight monsters or act, how could Xu Feng stand it?

All in all, Chen Yifa’er’s heart was in turmoil, but she knew the first thing she had to do was fully rescue Hu Shiyun and Long Meixin.

Gao Fei broke free from Feng Wan’s arm, his face pale and streaked with tears. His voice choked, barely forming coherent words.

“Just a cheating loser, not worth the fuss,” Ran Xin’ou said, watching his sister’s reaction closely.

At this moment, he had cast aside thoughts of the nation’s capital, never imagining what would happen if it fell into enemy hands.

The imperial capital of Xingya temporarily found peace. The news that Princess Consort Ouni and Prince Brandt had fled spread quickly, leaving the remaining citizens both scornful and secretly relieved.

An Yi’s body trembled, nearly dropping her phone. With a jolt, she managed to regain her grip.

“Young hero Gu, inexperience breeds doubt, but now that a single thrust has awakened you, what is there to fear from adversity?” Duyuan offered a few words of comfort.

No matter how hard Zi Sui Feng tried to catch up, he was left far behind.

Yun Chen’s fingers, mid-calculation, suddenly halted. A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and his right hand, shaped like a sword, struck the red, white, and yellow talisman paper.

Liu Dingtian rolled on the ground, arms and back covered with dust. Mixed with sweat, it turned to mud, making him look like a filthy little monkey from afar.

Not only Li Qing or Ma Tao, but even the newly promoted disciples on the sixth level realized that Hundred Herbs Mountain was an excellent place to cultivate, though its benefits were best for those below the ninth level.

“Exactly. Aside from this, I truly can't think of a better way. Surely you can’t bear to see those common folk starve, or have their only land for survival snatched away by such despicable means?” Yin Xiang spoke with a strange gleam in her eyes, almost excited.

Shangguan Xin was at a loss. Chen Da’s father placed all his hopes on Chen Da making money. Though today’s performance was promising, he couldn’t bend the rules for that.

However, when Liu Jing disembarked and looked around, he was completely bewildered. So were the elders who accompanied him.

“Venerable Modati arrives!” The mighty Sui dynasty army had not yet steadied their ranks, but their announcement echoed first.

Tonight, the moon shone bright. By its light, Fu Ying carefully examined the traces left on the dead leaves. Few traversed these mountains; thick layers of decaying branches and leaves covered the paths, some piled several inches deep. One step and you’d sink in with a squelch, insects scattering in all directions.

Peter Kos and Alice, believing Ye Tian, Kirby, and the rest of security were dead, crawled out from under the car in tears.

This meant that in the future, Ma Zhou could rise to the ranks of Sun Wuji and Du Ruhui, becoming one of Li Shimin’s closest advisors.

“Good, as long as you understand. I know you’ve worked hard for this selection. I’ll do my best to negotiate your contract extension with Sterling. When it comes to coaching, you’re more suited to the current situation than I am. You’ll have my support.” Dunleavy spoke.

Time is a strange thing—sometimes it drags on unbearably, other times it slips away in the blink of an eye.

So, although being Zhang Li’s mount might not sound dignified, if Zhang Li truly attained immortality one day, as his mount, a bright future was guaranteed.

Zhen Yuanzi didn’t mind his guest’s boldness; in fact, the more he listened, the more astonished he became. After all, the knowledge Xiao Han had gleaned about ginseng fruit from Journey to the West was known to only a handful in the vast wilderness.
