Volume 1, Chapter 53: Burning Jieting, Zhang He's Triumph!

"Then let's not wear it," Zhang Donghai said. "Give me your hand, let me check your pulse to see how the baby is doing." Zhang Donghai pulled Zhao Qiaozhen's hand toward him, felt her pulse for a moment, and found that both Zhao Qiaozhen and the child were in good health.

Liang Shan was on the verge of pinpointing the person's location when her spiritual power was abruptly blocked by a stream of rosy light. The collision of the two forces caused the channel connecting her primordial spirit to the heavenly heart to instantly become turbulent. Sensing that the Heavenly Dao was beginning to retaliate, Liang Shan immediately halted the art of heavenly vision and earthly hearing, yet she still could not escape the tracking of the Heavenly Dao.

"Since you agree, let's get something to eat first. Having traveled hard for half the night, I am indeed hungry," Li Tianqi said.

However, right at that moment, Su Junkun, who had been lying beside Su Chongyi, suddenly made a fierce move and leaped up violently. As Liang Shan bent forward, Su Junkun forcefully drove his knee upward toward Liang Shan's face.

"Good! The iron gate will open in ten seconds!" Xiao Yunfei said calmly. Tonight, Zhang Jing's refusal to meet him had filled his heart with even greater aversion toward the Su family. Previously, out of consideration for Li Xi, he had never launched an offensive against the Su family. Now, tonight, he would make the Su family pay back all their debts in full; otherwise, his name was not Xiao Yunfei.

At this time, the fairy children Caiyun, Bixiao, Baihua, and Baicao also stepped forward to exchange greetings with Suiren.

Seeing that Lu Ling's expression remained unsoftened, Ye Qiuwan called out to Baihe, preparing to leave. Just as she reached the door, she heard the sound of an impact. Turning her head, she saw Lu Ling looking at her with a smile, the forehead ornament shattered at her feet, its glass tassels scattering across the ground.

Qi Luo was at a loss as to what to do when she saw Ye Lusheng suddenly sit straight up from the table, his eyes clear with no trace of intoxication. He then walked over to the bridal bed, lifted Cao Liangse's veil with a ceremonial ivory rod, and instantly revealed a delicate, smiling, and bashful face as tender as apricot blossoms in the mist. Ye Lusheng stood there in a daze.

With the sound of robes tearing through the air, Li Tianqi tightened his collar against his chest, worried that the items inside might fall out. In that brief span, he had already smashed through the lower layer of white clouds, which immediately closed back up behind him.

Li Tianqi, having narrowly avoided the attack of the giant monster's right hand, saw that Zhou Ruolin was in a critical situation. He sprang onto the giant monster's right arm as well, blocked the path in front of Zhou Ruolin, and struck out with both palms channeled to their full strength.

She had finally confirmed that her eldest imperial sister would venture deep into the hunting grounds, making it well worth the great effort and various excuses she had spent to persuade the Empress Mother to change the prize for first place.

He still remembered how the boy had been able to make a wager with such composure in front of so many people, and how, facing so much the stench of blood, he had not even blinked an eye while speaking words more terrifying than the King of Hell.

Indeed, this was what his sister had constantly been asking about. As for everything else, since his sister said she already knew it all, then let it be just like this.

From the moment he first glimpsed the intent of destiny's fortune, he had been engaging in all sorts of struggles, yet not once had he ever had a winning chance, ultimately ending in failure every time.

Yun Haotian, recalling how Yun Chong used to discipline him in the past, raised his leg, intending to grab the person and teach them a proper lesson, but his leg was stopped mid-air by a slap from Shui Yiren.

Was the Crown Prince's remark an indication that even if her campaign against the bandits failed, she would still receive rewards such as those from the generals' estates?

After all, this powerful sound of the zither was capable of capturing one's soul; even Cang Yu had almost had his mind and will controlled by it.

Cheng Xian narrowed his eyes slightly and fell silent. He had thought of this long ago, but because he could not confirm it, he had not given it much thought. Now that there was news, it could be considered a good thing, except that Jiangnan was quite a distance away from here. Dong Fang really knew how to run.

Shen Mufai regretted it to death. She should never have allowed Wenren Li to join the military camp back then. At that time, she had only thought that when he grew up, he would be able to protect her, never imagining that not only would he now wield supreme power, but he would also sit in a position no one else had ever attained.

Since Lin Wanbai had put it that way, Nan Hao found it difficult to urge her to stay longer. Although he still felt a lingering reluctance in his heart, he could only nod and return a smile.

While his mouth spoke with absolute bravado and the hand gestures urging others to go forward were wielded with great vigor, he himself kept slipping backward, his eyes darting incessantly as he observed the situation.

"Right, I almost forgot. Old Ghost, are you alright?" Ye Chen said, frantically tapping away at the array disk in his hand.

Wu Jian looked at Xia Huanhuan and said. Hearing this, Xia Huanhuan glanced at the person before her, frowned involuntarily with a look of displeasure, and pressed her lips together.

After walking a few steps, the sound of a zither suddenly rang out. Its elegant melody was lingering and melodious, flowing like a murmuring stream, bringing a refreshing and heart-cleansing sensation that washed over them.

Upon spotting this type of water monster, massive arrows were immediately fired, directly striking and killing the creature, which then dropped not far away.

"This is just as well, saving me the trouble of searching for it myself. I'll use this as a breakthrough to find the locations of the other bases and take down the South African nation first. As for the other places, I'll just smash them one by one. Twenty million star shields, buddy, here I come!" Ye Chen laughed heartily.

Therefore, today's Zuiwei Tower was already thronged with distinguished guests even before dusk fell. To say nothing of Jiaozhou Prefecture, even from Chengdu Prefecture, several talented scholars and wealthy patrons who were confident in their ability to become favored guests had traveled thousands of miles to arrive here.

Ye Chen did not dwell on the matter much longer. After handing the items to the keeper for safekeeping, he continued with his appraisals, though in his heart he was already scheming how to get his hands on that object.

Wuzhenzi fell silent, and on that face with white eyebrows, white beard, kindness, and gentleness, endless resentment and boundless sorrow gradually emerged.

Within the divine realm, the wind and clouds shifted color; outside the divine realm, storms were also brewing. A clear sky was covered with dark clouds, as if the entire Southwest was about to usher in a torrential downpour.

The entire Boundary Sea Peak held no secrets from him anymore. Once the five rings were gathered, he would truly be able to master the power of Boundary Sea Peak. However, since Boundary Sea Peak was a Primordial Supreme Treasure, even with his clearance authority, he could only barely drive a sliver of its power.
