Chapter 99: Shameless Persistence! Wu Dongmei Throws a Tantrum

Among the many masters of the Celestial Court sat a man in a yellow robe, cross-legged in the void, a divine aura rising and falling about him in restless currents. He was the lord of the Celestial Court, the True Person of the Yellow Dragon.

“How could that be? If we’re leaving, then we all leave together. How could we possibly leave the two of you behind?” Zhao Fengjian said.

Liang Kun was devoted to the martial arts. It was a pity that he had now come to a standstill, which was why he had come to seek guidance from Wuhuan.

Now Chu Tian had three people. Feng Caidie had brought exactly three as well. With six people in the group, wasn’t that just perfect?

Leaving aside which side’s soldiers were more elite, the moment cavalry abandoned its advantage and dismounted to fight on foot, the battle was already lost.

“Chu Xi, no matter how powerful the enemy you are about to face, I will always be by your side, facing it with you.” Huangfu Qingjue’s expression was so calm, yet so resolute.

Though these pastries had been brought back after a long journey, they were still intact, not the least bit crushed.

After Chen Guhong went inside, Lian Yunba and Kou Pinding also sat down near the Alchemy Tower, luxuriating in the cool shade of that area.

“Not talking? Fine. Then I’ll beat it out of you,” Ye Hanxiao said, flexing his neck.

After deciding to suppress the rebellion, the authorities in Longshan no longer intended to keep matters secret. Ning Gui took the opportunity not only to learn roughly when the troops would set out, but also to find out the exact number of imperial soldiers.

After a long while, the Poisonous One finally said, “She is your enemy. She is Zhongli Luo’s wife, Su Jin, also known as the Princess of the Luo Prince.”

When he finished, he paid no heed to Ruan Xuexiao’s stunned expression. He was already pulling Su Jin away when he noticed Xia Qianqian nearby. After thinking it over, and since Xia Qianqian still had some use, he took her along as well.

At his order, the crossbowmen all lit their fire arrows, drew their bows and crossbows, and waited for the ghost pirate ship to enter range.

But before Dragon Fist, the ultimate warrior, and Long Ming, the great magus, they were little more than props.

Gu Yu gave a cold laugh, and at once countless starlike lights surged forth around him, dense and countless, revolving about his body like a brilliant suit of armor forged from stardust. In an instant, the weakened aura left behind after he had unleashed the Starburst Feather Sword suddenly recovered, growing even stronger than before.

He needed to understand this world better. Though he was all too familiar with League of Legends, he would never dare explain this unknown world by relying on the game’s lore.

The four Heaven-level martial artists watched coldly as Gu Fan entered the Jade Pool secret realm, and only then did they all let out a breath of relief, as though they had seen off a plague god.

“What do I care whether there’s fate between us or not? If I knock you down, then the Elixir of Immortality is mine, isn’t it? And while I’m at it, I can rummage through your pockets too and see what sorts of things immortals keep on them,” Gu Fan thought, one hand resting on his sword as he eyed the old man before him with ill intent.

Xiao Jitian and the young ghost soldier answered at once. Their figures flickered, and then vanished once more into the night sky, as though they had never come.

So when he was about to complete the mission, he finally let out a breath of relief. Yet exhaustion, vast as a tide, surged over him. Forcing himself to stay alert, he slowly drove the carriage into the stream of traffic heading toward Shanglin Town, making for the city gate.

After consulting the almanac again and again, and also heeding the words of a blind fortune-teller, the two families finally decided to marry after the turn of the year. They chose the auspicious signs of a fresh spring and all things flourishing into life, and it also meant that after their marriage, their days would blaze brighter and brighter, just like this spring.

Ziye looked at her steadily for a long moment. Light and shadow shifted in the depths of his eyes, but in the end all of it returned once more to a calm and detached stillness as he stepped forward to follow closely behind.

“Bring everyone some exciting news!” After all the disciples of the Wuhen Sect had assembled, the sect master said excitedly.

“Manyu!” Dongfang Moran understood. He patted Dongfang Manyu on the shoulder, and in that silent instant the hearts of the two men drew closer, because both of them understood.

“Everything I need is here! See what you have, and I’ll trade for whatever I’m missing!” Li Chengfeng said, handing Jiang Shanhui a jade slip.

Last night they had ridden on horseback. It was dark and urgent, and the night had been so black that even they themselves did not know where they had ended up.

In his fury, Wang Feiyuan had indeed handed back military authority, partly so that the censors would have less to criticize Wang Caijun for, and partly because Wang Caijun’s conduct had utterly chilled his heart. Yet he had never imagined that Wang Caijun, who had been determined to marry into the Prince Qi’s mansion, would fail to wake from her folly, while the Wang Caijun sent back after being repudiated by Prince Qi’s mansion would undergo a transformation as drastic as heaven and earth.

“Wang Quan, have you grown so capable that you even dare to hit me?” Madam He said, one hand covering the red, swollen cheek that had been struck. Her eyes bulged as she gnashed her teeth, as though she meant to tear Wang Quan to pieces.

“Is Auntie overthinking it? Who in our marquisate doesn’t know that Baobao is Father’s very life? Who would dare set their sights on him?” Ling Yushan consoled Madam Liu.

“Not good!” In the instant their weapons clashed, Xin Peng finally understood that Li Chengfeng had not been looking down on him. Li Chengfeng’s splitting-heaven technique had seemed simple enough at first glance, but the terrifying force hidden within it was beyond Xin Peng’s imagination.

Once the old child was defeated, cries of astonishment rose from every other level of the thousand-zhang cavern dwelling.

“Past life? Could it be that reincarnation and rebirth truly exist in this world?” Yun Shu also grew startled.

He was a worshiper of liberalism and did not believe in feudal superstitions. Though he did not believe, neither would he expose it.

His lips moved madly as he chanted, while with his hands he violently crushed his own arm. Torrents of blood gushed out, and bizarre symbols, like talismans, appeared one by one in his palm.

Within that flawless pillar of light, pale brilliance scattered as though a gentle wind had blown through, lifting the veil from Lina’s face.

Xu Fu remained crouched and kneeling, both hands plunged into the ground, utterly ignoring the mighty and awe-inspiring presence of the Zhanlu dragon.

“You helped me break free. But rest assured, even if I destroy this world, I guarantee you will be perfectly safe!” Seeing that something seemed amiss in Ling Kong’s expression, the blood-colored giant hastily added.

“One hundred batches of Life Number One?” Zhang Yifeng’s lips curved slightly. That was indeed good news. In that case, Cai Fangxia, Cai Monong, his father and mother, and his elder brother and sister-in-law all seemed to have hope of becoming evolvers.

Zhang Yifeng was deeply conflicted. Huang Tianxing was powerful, and could even control the creatures within the fog zone. Zhang Yifeng did not believe the humans of the wasteland world could be his match. If he intended to destroy the world, who could stop him?

Black demonic qi, wrapped in the keen cold light of a halberd’s edge, slashed with deadly certainty toward Mu Shan’s neck.

“Just now, when I heard Brother Ye mention time, I felt that these past six months have wasted too much of my life. I was thinking... I want to try cultivating arts and techniques like Jiayao does,” Lu Qingyu said shyly.
