Chapter 65 A Massive Scandal
To achieve sagehood, the first prerequisite is to look at Ouyang Ming's aptitude. The second depends on fortune and destiny, as one cannot succeed without the assistance of these two elements.
"Yang Yi, may I ask you a question?" Baobei asked timidly, her expression somewhat unnatural. Yang Yi looked stunned and said, "Go ahead." "Well... what is your relationship with Xiang Donghui?" As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, seemingly startled.
"It's fine, just eat whatever you're eating. We'll pay whatever it costs in the end." Anyway, this place was run by Xu Ye's family, so there was no need to worry about being ripped off. Even if they had to pay for damages, it would definitely be at cost price.
Just now, she suddenly had a feeling that Luobei was drifting further and further away from her. She could no longer even feel the fiery heartbeat in Luobei's chest... nor the faintly suppressed desire deep within his soul.
Seeing this, the man with the bulbous nose on the side narrowed his eyes and hooked a finger. Zhao Ke instantly felt that unusual murderous intent vanish completely.
Anyway, the Undying Emperor was still being held in check by the Beginning Emperor in that bizarre world. Even if he knew too much and wanted to come over and finish him off, the probability of that happening was probably very slim.
He tried to contact his other attendants and spirit pets, but the response he received was still that damned "unable to connect." Completely abandoning the method of summoning his attendants, Leng Mo started walking toward the distant depths of this so-called Demon Realm before him.
"Actually..." Seeing that Moyuan still showed no intention of stopping, Yu Deshui swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue. He then noticed that Xiaolan was calm and composed, though the tenderness in her gaze as she looked at Moyuan was rare—yet toward him, she always maintained a sense of defense and a trace of aloof coldness.
"Hmph!" Xiaishaoxuan let out two soft grunts, but she still didn't refuse. She probably wanted to try it out herself.
Luobei and Fairy Chang'e entered the canyon and remained unimpeded by danger along the way. Before long, they arrived above a vast and magnificent river.
Within this star field, there was a cultivation planet named "Forged Gold Star." The overall cultivation strength of the immortals here was far inferior to that of the former Qiyuan Star. From a preliminary understanding, there were only two cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage on the entire planet, and they spent years in seclusion, making unremitting efforts toward the Deity Transformation stage while basically ignoring worldly affairs.
Helpless, Jiang Rankong had to return to his tent. Recalling what happened tonight, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
When Suxi and Suxin noticed that Ziying had kept her eyes closed ever since she entered, they were startled. They hurried to Ziying's side simultaneously and checked her pulse, only to discover that it wasn't just Ziying's eyes that had a problem; even the true essence within her body felt desolate and hollow compared to before she descended the mountain.
For a moment, Princess Alajiani of the Elves held her guard, Ix, in even higher regard—a guard she had previously never paid much attention to.
Moreover, he was a very reserved and understated person. Having chatted for quite a while, unlike some people who boasted wildly at the slightest bit of capability, he hadn't uttered a single word about how glorious he was or how wealthy and powerful he might be.
If the real estate industry became a super-profitable sector, who would still invest in basic industries and high-tech sectors? Would capital continue to flow into those areas? If the annual average profit of investing in real estate reached thirty percent, by then, all industrial growth in China would come to a halt, and all capital would flood into that single sector.
"Ruo'er?" Ou Yucheng's brows furrowed slightly. Without needing Lingyue to explain the rest, he had already guessed roughly what had happened.
Had it been earlier, he might have been able to conclude that Murong Yi might want Zhuque's life, but he would not have taken it entirely.
Tan Wuyu's face was livid. He naturally knew that Cilang's words merely stated a fact rather than instigating discord. Besides, what room for reconciliation was there between him and the Heavenly Scourge Fox Demon?
Without further ado, the four of them cupped their fists and walked toward their respective chosen doors. Everyone knew that moving alone carried greater risks, but the treasures found would not need to be shared, and at least their mutual relationships would not rupture.
"Tongtong, she is truly pitiful." Yuan Yurong glanced past the counter, withdrew her gaze, and shook her head with a light sigh.
Well, everything else was indeed as he expected, except that comfort was definitely out of the question. After listening to them discuss their fanciful notions about the benefits of acting like barbarians for an entire day, Hualin's head felt a bit dizzy.
Although this man's footsteps were somewhat chaotic, if one paid close attention, they would realize that not only were his steps far from chaotic, but they were actually a form of extremely powerful footwork.
The power of flowing water, the power of fire, the power of dense earth, the power of vibrant wood, and the power of sharp metal—these five forces, intertwined under a multicolored radiance, continuously converged and then violently collided, erupting into streams of multicolored light as they began the process of fusing one by one.
On land, even when trapped in heavy encirclement, the vast majority of attacks still came from planar directions all around, rarely requiring attention from the sky and the ground. But in the ocean, all battles were three-dimensional. Once trapped in an encirclement, it truly meant an omnidirectional, three-hundred-and-sixty-degree, dead-zone-free saturated attack.
After the counterattack organized by Chai Rong, the Khitan offensive abated slightly. Chai Rong raised his spear to command, protecting the soldiers of the two prefectures as they retreated toward the center of the river valley. The sixth prefecture hurried up to provide reinforcements, and only then was the routing trend of the Tang army halted.
Knowing that her younger sister was doing well over there, Ye Xin still refrained from mentioning that she had once been admitted to the hospital.
With a clanging sound, Xiao Zaiping's hands trembled, and he could no longer maintain the immortal art of transmitting sound and images. The Xiao family's silver mirror set up before him toppled onto the table with a crash.
Now, having slaughtered some and subdued others among the group of demons led by the Nine-Tailed Fox, they had completely eliminated the threat posed by these monsters. Coupled with Ye Qiu's formidable strength, he truly possessed the qualifications to be the grand captain of the Heavenly Punishment.
Wang Yingying looked inside again, and stepping back timidly, she said, "Forget it, the clothes here are simply too expensive. Let's go." As she said she wanted to leave, her eyes still lingered inside with reluctance.
The performance, which could be described as flawless, instantly won warm applause from the entire audience. Everyone showered it with praise, marveling at what a touching song "Let Our Love Be," noting how both the lyrics and the melody touched the depths of the soul. People were still savoring the lingering resonance of the zither and the flute while simultaneously envying the deep affection between the couple.
"Yes! No matter what you turn into, I will love you. But what I love most is still you right now!" Xue Rou replied firmly.
Ke Chen dao and his party headed toward the Myriad Purple Sect in the east, while Shen Dianzhong and his group headed toward the Seven Immortals Sect in the west. Neither party traveled too far; they merely left the vicinity of Cat-Raccoon Mountain. The purpose of doing this was, of course, to attract the covetous desires of experts.
