47 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law (Part III)

"What? Do you feel like you've been taken for a ride? That's why I said, what's the point of going to inherit this star sector? There are countless remote star sectors like this in the Galactic Federation; you could easily conquer as many as you want. To think you actually ran back to inherit one instead." Zhang Jinshuang shrugged and spoke.

However, the Wind Spirit Sword suffered damage to its spiritual core after being knocked away, rendering it incapable of sword flight. With a mere flight speed of just over four hundred, how could he possibly escape the pursuit of those level-seventy-plus elite monsters? In just a dozen seconds, the nearest fierce ghost caught up to him, and with a sweep of its sharp claws, carved five deep bloody grooves across his back.

Immediately afterward, the hall doors were pushed open, and a Holy Crusade Zealot Chosen Fanatic strode inside. Outside the door stood a large contingent of Zealot and Immortal units.

Battling against the Martial Emperor and others had left him somewhat physically depleted. Although he looked fine on the surface, he truly couldn't afford to go celebrating right now.

The red glow emanating from the wooden box only then began to gradually dim until it vanished entirely. Having completed this task, One-Whip's forehead was already covered in sweat. Seeing the red light of the box fade, he raised a hand to wipe his brow, picked up the wooden box, stepped onto a stool, and placed it back on top of the cabinet.

Due to days of relentless exhaustion, Li Xun was utterly fatigued and unable to exert himself. The Hellfire would have to wait; besides, with two full months ahead, there was no harm in taking some time to relax.

Therefore, right from the beginning, once Cheng Dong tasted some success, he very sensibly avoided relying on his right hand.

This flutter of anticipation made me somewhat uneasy, so I hurried back to my room, set up a restraining spell formation in the corner cabinet, sprinkled talisman ash, and placed the Soul-Chasing Urn inside it.

"General Xu, let's leave the matter at that. This palace still has business to discuss with Sister Xia, you may leave first," Liu Tan said with complete composure. Aside from the lingering blush on her cheeks, not a single flaw could be detected.

Their formation had long since fallen into chaos, their ranks thoroughly scattered, and the soldiers had even discarded the most basic rules and regulations.

Everything has changed, and I have also become cruel and indifferent. My hands are likewise stained with blood. Perhaps this is destiny—a fate that dictates we can only be sisters of the first half of our lives.

"What is it? Is there a problem?" Ye Feng looked at the middle-aged fat man and asked with a puzzled expression.

Fang Mu and Liang Yingshi waited near the cave entrance for about the time it takes to burn two sticks of incense before Huzi finally dragged the corpses out of the secret chamber. Because carrying a corpse out through the cave entrance was extremely troublesome, Huzi took many times longer this time than the last, and he was drenched in sweat himself.

An Yutong had already taken off her sunglasses, and upon hearing the news that Qin Leng was leaving, the light in her eyes dimmed once more.

A gentle breeze blew, carrying the lingering fragrance of grass, which blended with the richer morning spiritual energy to refresh anyone who breathed it in.

"They... I mean these civilian bandits, do they kill people?" Qing Ge asked with considerable worry. She had never imagined that not far from the splendor and prosperity of the five metropolitan districts of the capital, people were still living such lives.

──He was merely wiping away sweat with his hand; growing nails do not imply the pressure has reached a dangerously high threshold.

Seeing this, Fang Mu gave an understanding nod to this "ordinary man," signaling that he understood his intent and letting him first deal with this so-called "messenger" before offering an explanation.

Now that Nangong Yuhuan had arrived, she naturally wanted to satisfy her curiosity by climbing the Yunming Terrace to take a look. Walking up the steps, every sight was exquisite, and all the mountain stones and spiritual flora were rare treasures. The window lattices prioritized clarity and transparency, while the railings focused on delicate craftsmanship. With every step the scenery changed, shifting along with the viewer—a truly magnificent spectacle.

Even with equal strength, Ding Qing was now confident that if she encountered her former self, she would easily emerge victorious.

No, calm down. It could just be overthinking; perhaps it really was a coincidence. One shouldn't be so jumpy at every shadow.

"You, you, you!" Hearing her finish, I no longer dared to look back, nor could I remember how to turn my neck.

There was a burgeoning sensation within my body, and I desperately wanted to unleash this inner restlessness completely.

Feeling that it was almost enough, Yan Shibaba withdrew the infused spiritual energy. At this point, Feng Jiujiu was already capable of healing herself. Giving Feng Jiujiu a concerned look, Yan Shibaba finally turned his head back.

Although he could use the power of the Immortal Palace to suppress the two of them and trap them within it, the Green Fire Daoist was currently extremely weak and dared not gamble on whether he could successfully suppress them, leaving him with no choice but to throw them out.

Cai Hua was choked speechless for a moment before managing to squeeze out, "You're talking nonsense!" Then she fled in panic.

Given his obsessive devotion to the Imperial Noble Consort Qin, if he were asked to exchange the empire for her, he would probably agree without the slightest hesitation!

Moding Si was secretly startled, but unable to care about anything else, he exerted force through his feet and dashed toward Xia Fan's direction.

The scene of a multicolored stone scorpion eating people on the street was captured by passing drivers and promptly uploaded to the internet.

After ascending the throne, although Yang Guang appeared arrogant, extravagant, and devoid of morals, he had always paid close attention to matters related to Li Jing. Upon learning that Li Jing had gone to Wagang Mountain, he successively issued imperial decrees ordering several military units near Wagang Mountain to march and suppress him, only for them to be utterly crushed and defeated by Li Jing, which groundlessly elevated the prestige of both Li Jing and the Pacification Army.

"Ji Biyun, I have fulfilled the promise I made to you. Take care of yourself from now on," Xiao Zongheng said indifferently.

Finally, Li Anabang approached the sea of fire. The clothes on his body were instantly burned away, and even his hair began to curl. A trace of pain appeared in his eyes as Li Anabang's body grew as tough as bronze, his hair following suit.

Sun Chuanting was filled with reluctance. A battle that had already begun—and an advantageous one at that—was forced to be abandoned. When the next campaign against Zhang Xianzhong would take place, he had no idea. Furthermore, once the main army left Yunyang, he had no way of knowing what choices Zhang Xianzhong would make.

Upon arriving at the Governor's Mansion, for some unknown reason, Sun Chongzong suddenly felt a twinge of sadness. He was already seventy-six years old, and perhaps once he left Huaibei, he would never have the chance to return. Although his health had always been good and he suffered from no major illnesses, the decline in his physical constitution was glaringly obvious. Old age and physical frailty were simply the natural laws of life.

As for Lingzi Shu, Chu Tianlin had no intention of paying her any mind. However, seeing as she was the elder sister of Lingfei Shu, and Chu Tianlin intended to take the Shu family to another world, she was the only one unwilling to go.

"Earlier today, I was even thinking of persuading Chief Chen to utilize his relationship with Qianlong to oppose the Qing, only to be cleanly and decisively refused by him. Judging by the current situation, it seems old monk's vision was truly short-sighted!" Tianjing chimed in as well.
