Chapter 26: The March Begins

Page (1/3)

Three days later, Yu Rumu, Lu Qingyan, and Ye Chen arrived at the sect’s gathering place.

The disciples had arrived long ago. When they saw the three approaching, they craned their necks in eager anticipation.

Yu Rumu wore a white dress, its hem fluttering lightly in the breeze. Paired with her smile, warm as the spring sunshine, it made everyone’s spirits lift.

Lu Qingyan remained as cold and severe as ever. Her spotless white robes accentuated her delicate figure, making her seem like an immortal maiden beneath the moon.

...

Everyone present was intelligent. Those who had risen to such positions were all extremely shrewd. The moment they heard Ma Quan’s words, they understood his meaning. Lin Tianfeng’s eyes narrowed, and he frowned as he spoke to Ma Quan, a frightening chill gleaming in his gaze.

Not a single intact tree remained on Lone Peak Ridge. The bare rocks had been blasted into a pitted, battered wasteland, while the battlefield reeked of scorched vegetation. Though it was only the end of March, the temperature there was already as high as in early summer.

After Yingjun finished bathing and changed into the clothes Lin Ruoxi had given him, he walked out.

“Heh heh, this world really is something. There are so many electrical appliances—even bathing doesn’t require heating water.”

As he spoke, Yingjun casually shook his wet hair.

To her disappointment, however, Ximen Wuchou, who had been showing her affection only moments before, had vanished without a trace. Watching Aoyu and the others depart, she gradually fell into a daze.

When the Fatty had tidied his clothes and emerged from the indoor bathroom, he had once again become that dignified-looking “leader.” It was difficult to imagine that someone so impeccably dressed could commit such a conscience-shattering, bestial act.

He always felt that this cousin of his would cause him trouble again in the future, so he wanted to keep a closer eye on her movements and be prepared for whatever might happen.

Zhao Yun had also only just recovered from a serious illness. Although he had taken the Lifeless Pill and the poison in his body had only recently been neutralized, his face had grown noticeably thinner, making him appear even more tough and stern.

“Marshal Tie, what about us? Should we head to Deep Well Fort as well?” Wu Xiong asked anxiously. Tan Hongyi, Wu Zhuangtian, and Yang Hua, standing beside him, also stared at Iron Eagle with concern.

“They’ve all become so powerful?” Thief Zhi seemed to have broadened his horizons once again. He had discovered that Shaoyu and Shilan’s movements were already extraordinarily skillful. Such an effect could only be achieved through a tremendous increase in internal power.

I used this as an excuse to meet Mai Cai and, while there, told him how satisfied I was with his performance this time. In addition to the agreed-upon payment, I would give him a further twenty percent bonus.

Fortunately, the venomous moths had not been disturbed by the commotion just now. At that moment, they remained quietly clinging to various places throughout the building.

Now that Zhang Qing possessed this ability, it meant that he could summon people from the Valley of Villains.

But the difference between their cultivation levels amounted to an entire realm. Even though she barely managed to block the blow, Qin Zhao’s palm strike still left her injured.

After finishing the deer’s blood, it was time to take their leave. An ink-black boat was moored outside the city gates, and over the next several days Yan Yunting and the others would travel by water toward Mount Kunlun.

I sat with Uncle Chai on the platform in the center of the villa. His entire body was trembling, and his heartbeat had risen to one hundred and ten beats per minute.

Li Qingming suddenly shouted. Iron Hammer trusted him completely, and after hearing his warning, he swung his hammer sharply backward without the slightest hesitation. Sure enough, the hammer struck something—a distant section of the ruins.

They say money gives a hero courage, and Zhu Di felt the saying was absolutely true. As long as the money was there, what problem could not be settled?

The fragrance of magnolias filled every corner of the courtyard. Huge blossoms hung high from the branches, competing to burst into bloom—some pink, some pale violet, and some pure white. Their dazzling brilliance filled the entire courtyard with vitality.

“Heh heh, is that so?”

Having encountered more than enough stubborn opponents, Baili Tianming had long since grown accustomed to such resistance.

The chill of early spring lingered in the air. Outside the gate of the Moli Branch Residence, a solitary figure crouched there, looking exceptionally forlorn.

Leng Ning had actually discussed the matter with Jin Yichen the previous evening. Both of them intended to become engaged first and wait until the following year to marry.

He was, after all, the dignified Prince of Yi Commandery. No foolishly presumptuous person would dare cause trouble for the Duke of Duan’s household.

Qin Yue was nearly certain that the medicine had been obtained by the old squad leader’s nephew and tampered with by Old Ma, the kitchen helper. She immediately led her people straight to the training grounds in the front courtyard.

If the powerful members of the Soul-Eating Clan and the Seven Deadly Sins came looking for her in the future, she had no idea how she would explain herself.

After dodging dozens of sword strikes in succession, Liao Teng felt deeply humiliated. As a mid-level Saint, he was actually being forced to evade the attacks of a Quasi-Saint. What kind of disgrace was that?

Chu Yue did not evade Chu Yue’s attacks at all. He allowed Tongren to unleash his sword techniques, and before long, Chu Yue’s health had fallen into the red.

When Nurse Wu reported from outside the door that Nurse Liu had come to see her, Qin Yue’s emotions had not yet settled. Nevertheless, she ordered that the visitor be brought in.

His thoughts just now had been to torment Kou Dong’er. Since he himself could no longer be a man, he intended to make her suffer as well, without caring whether she was willing or happy.

Some of them might have been following the Nine Heavens. At that moment, they took out their phones and opened Weibo.

Qing Yunmiao had always been especially fond of the Beauty Epiphyllum from her hometown and had long wanted to grow one. In the past, however, she had been too busy cultivating and protecting herself to find the opportunity. After being poisoned, she unexpectedly found herself with free time and began tending flowers and plants.

From his angle, he could make out the rough shape of the light. Zhan Peng felt that it seemed to be some kind of creature with enormous eyes, one that did not possess a complete beast-like form.

In the courtyard, the birds perched on the treetops were frightened into flight by the somewhat unusual sounds of the day.

“There is one more matter. I hope Senior Ling can open the Sword Pool three months from now, because several young paragons from the Upper Realm will be arriving then. They wish to observe it. I hope Senior Ling will grant them this favor.”

The Five Elements Divine Son spoke with impeccable courtesy, clearly treating Ling Jianfei as an esteemed senior.

But A Jing saw it all clearly: before Gong Chenglei began shouting, the corners of his mouth had unmistakably curved into a smile.

As time went by, Rong Ruo gave up trying to explain things to Feiyan and could only let her continue acting so haughtily and coquettishly.

That golden ancient ape had never advanced to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, but even among those in the Heavenly Human realm, it was a rare opponent. Yet it had been killed like this, and no one could even tell whether Qin Chuan had made a move.

Mr. Wu was also a regular customer at the restaurant. As for Uncle Zhang, the waiter, he had seen him enter accompanied by his own employer, but he had no idea what relationship his employer had with the other party.
