Chapter 27: The Long-Bearded Old Man

Jing Xiyao sat by the wide-open window, resting with her eyes closed, while Zhuque and Hanyue sipped tea, and Baby continued to eat incessantly.

This was undoubtedly agonizing for the Mystic Envoy’s true form. It was a form of mental torture; the feedback from her spiritual sense was actually affecting her physical body, causing it to gradually exhibit strange reactions that were becoming difficult to control.

Hidden behind the woods, Dugu Yeshang watched the figure charging out, his heart tightening. This girl had no spiritual power—wasn't charging out with brute force just throwing her life away? Especially since those burly men were Martial Generals and Spirit Generals, and their leader was even at the Martial King level.

The Emperor had personally arrived at the Ministry of Punishments and carried Consort Hui out himself. This was the news Empress Shangguan heard halfway to the Ministry.

As for the Hidden King Abusi, he was a disciple taken by the Hidden Ancestor later on, and after awakening, the Hidden Ancestor had secretly controlled the Chaos Clan as well.

The other sages watched Ling Yun silently, already harboring certain suspicions in their hearts.

Lady Ye, who was pregnant, was the first to be helped into the inner room by the palace maids; the Empress had ordered it, as her health could not tolerate the cold.

"Boom!" The powerful energy of the laws struck the coconut shell, which, having already withstood significant energy dissipation, shattered instantly.

The bearded leader’s whiskers twitched. He clearly hadn't expected the silver-haired youth to be so direct, showing no fear of offending an "expert" like himself. However, this was exactly to his liking. Not bad.

Just then, a powerful figure in the shadows launched an attack, attempting to detain Ling Xin, but it was a step too late. The strike slammed into the empty space, shattering it inch by inch, but Ling Xin’s figure had already vanished.

Liu Tian’s martial arts techniques had leveled up. When his power appeared beside Bai Lin, she initially only sensed an icy attribute tinged with coldness, but later, she felt a strength deeper than the ocean. It was not ice, but water refined to the ultimate extreme.

Chen Yixun used a calm strategy to grind out a victory bit by bit, and Fang Datong himself possessed a similarly meticulous temperament.

"Understood!" The seventy or eighty people roared in unison, fixing their eyes on the direction of the Sword Gate as they each drew their spiritual treasures.

The chaos caused by Sha Kun’s kill order had basically come to an end; as for the few remaining stragglers, it was believed they wouldn't be able to stir up any major trouble.

Facing Gu Pei’s assault, the confidence and composure Chu Tianyu displayed made it impossible to tell he had just stepped into the rank of a high-level Martial Emperor. He looked more like a peak-level Martial Emperor, someone who had already placed one foot into the realm of a Martial Emperor.

After driving his spiritual energy through another cycle in his body to settle his two nascent souls, Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes.

Fighting monsters in the wild not only required blue mana but also red potions, equipment, and more. In any case, one needed certain conditions to grind in the wild, which also required money.

Yuan Xing certainly didn't know what Long Xiaoyun was thinking. He was still fighting Yamamoto Toshio, and the situation was one-sided; he firmly held the upper hand, suppressing Yamamoto Toshio and leaving him with little room to counterattack.

Han Zhicai’s idea made Ying Si’s eyes light up when he heard it. He, too, had only considered that a priest gaining an extra life-saving skill was good, but the timing needed to be calculated; it would be a tragedy if the teammate’s current health bar was even lower than it had been ten minutes ago.

Chen Jing was suddenly jolted awake from that indescribably profound state, recalling a legendary ability called "Clairaudience," which allowed one to hear sounds from a thousand miles away through the wind. He did not believe it was a hallucination; though that state was marvelous and felt like a mix of reality and illusion, he knew it was definitely not a hallucination.

How many times had Qi Yanran kissed him voluntarily tonight? Fu Cheng could no longer remember. He only knew that whenever Qi Yanran took the initiative, his reason would completely collapse before long.

The next day, the special envoy from the Hundred Spirits Continent prepared to search the capital for children with cultivation talent.

In particular, Xue Wan—that shameless woman—was now already lined up with a few of the top ten combat teams.

It was a physical clone created using chakra, possessing not only an consciousness independent of the caster’s original body but also a certain degree of resilience against physical attacks.

Seeing Luo Qing running around busily, Luo Bi didn't show it on her face, but she knew clearly in her heart that while it wasn't usually apparent how many siblings she had, it was clear now. She didn't know how to socialize, but Luo Qing handled everything so thoroughly that no one could find a fault.

Zhou Ziyu had no choice but to try another method, gently pushing the Prince of Yan’s arm, but it was useless. He then gently patted the Prince’s cheek, but still, it was to no avail.

If it were an ordinary ninja in a dying state, a Rasengan alone would have been enough to kill them.

Playing mysterious tricks—they must be anxious to escape the imperial capital now, but he would certainly not let them have their way.

Driving a normal person to the point of neurosis, forcing them to undergo daily treatment and be locked in a room.

She did not know how this milk had been processed, but it lacked the heavy gamey smell, remaining completely within her range of tolerance.

In this way, the raging fire in her heart and the impulse to grind Gu Youran into dust calmed down by several degrees.

Mao Yue looked at him suspiciously, but behind them, many new employees were watching curiously, making it inconvenient to ask. She could only smile and follow behind him.

Upon hearing this, Xin Ning defied all opposition and insisted on accompanying the Imperial carriage, bringing over a dozen servants from the Ling mansion along with disaster relief supplies trailing behind.

Being teased by two unscrupulous fellows early in the morning left Su Mubai and Zhu Xi speechless.

"Sigh, it's been so many years, and there has been no news. I had almost forgotten about these things." Mentioning offspring was, after all, a thorn in the heart.

"Whoosh!" Sun Fengzhao, having abandoned all his previous intentions of exploring the ancient cultivation cave, emerged from behind the waterfall next to a rock, his head and entire body enveloped in a protective halo of light.

Ji Yong had not yet arrived in Jingzhao. Once he did, the Ye family would have even less room to make trouble.

Lu Honglu bowed one by one to Su Mubai and the others. Led by her, Li Yanping and the others, despite their lingering resistance to Su Mubai’s decision, also bowed to them.

Virtue is what one should rely on, certainly not treacherous villains like the Ye family. She refused to believe the Ye family would be so lucky next time.
