21 Spring Wine Town

“Brother Chen Hao, are you sure this is alright? You must know that there are many financial tycoons involved this time,” Hong Chaoyang said cautiously as he looked at Chen Hao.

Each of them held two tracking stones from different sources, one in each hand. By sensing the signals in their left and right hands, they could decode simple messages.

Fortunately, the driver was highly skilled. After a few rotations, he finally stabilized the car.

Seeing the middle-aged man in combat gear move, the elderly Tai Chi instructor quickly adopted a defensive Tai Chi posture.

“General, the river ahead has long been polluted by corpses. The stench is unbearable and the water undrinkable!” An Bang reported with a salute.

“This place cannot connect to the Celestial Soul. Bind him first!” Qi Hongyi barked immediately. He and Peng Jiamu stepped forward, each pinning one side of Xu Fu’s body and tying him up with hemp rope.

This duel had attracted many Golden Core elders to witness it. However, under the guidance of the Netherworld Revered, the Netherworld Patriarch did not attend. Now, Fang Cheng represented the Netherworld sect and was a prominent figure. Having reached the Golden Core stage, his strength had surged tremendously.

Han Shangong thought Fang Shi was truly a perceptive person, much like his master in temperament—a remarkable individual.

If it wanted to kill me, it could have come closer. This situation feels more like it’s toying with me.

Ashuang and Yulin looked up from behind the microscope, exchanged glances, and nodded.

“I want to see where exactly this primordial essence of Xuanyuan energy comes from,” Lin Feng said, swimming upstream like a fish against the current toward the still surging vortex.

Nearby, many people showed astonishment. The terror of the Celestial Immortal race was indeed as fearsome as their reputation suggested—truly terrifying.

“What kind of flame is this? Impossible! My demonic flame has been refined for hundreds of thousands of years. How could it fear anything?” Feeling his demonic flame retreat like a mouse before a cat beneath the purple fire, he showed a face full of disbelief.

Li Yun smirked coldly. The Destroyer Hall was not so easily fooled. This was the true test of entry: to probe whether their footing was clean. If spies from the Blood Sea Shrine were among them, they would be discovered now.

Hundreds of reporters gathered at the venue. Zhu Tianyun was such a hot topic that hundreds of media outlets flocked to cover the event.

“Whether you come or not is none of your business!” Liu Ruxuan’s gaze was mocking. Perhaps there was no couple more ridiculous than these two in the world.

The root cause of this victory was actually due to the Mongol cavalry being misled, leading to their underestimation.

After all, some gaps existed in the orders she gave Li Chengqing. Once the Zi Yang Marquis’s heir realized or his wife clarified matters, any influence would fade. That would only prompt the Marquis’s family to keep a closer eye on the Li household, which was not what Li Ronghua wanted.

Hearing that familiar voice, Xi’er suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with hatred as she jumped up from the ground. “It’s you.”

Ah, such a headache. Ratings keep dropping... I wonder if tomorrow’s chapter can be released. I’m worried it will be censored again.

A question mark slowly appeared above Klein’s head, but he quickly thought of Will, the Mercury Serpent who had also angel-invested in him, and immediately understood.

However, with Nangong Tai and Nangong Ao guarding the rear and a host of experts from their clan protecting them, they stood no chance.

Lin En watched the scene nearby with great interest and was curious why Renette Tinicole charged a gold coin as a fee.

Cao Cao rose from his seat and walked to the tent, his face radiant with joy and surprise. Hearing those two laughs brought delight, prompting Xi Zhicai to quickly stand, coughing as he inquired.

Yang Boqian rose slowly, smiled at Roger, and someone draped a cloak over his shoulders. Surrounded by attendants, he left the council hall directly.

Yun He descended the steps dejectedly, only to see another carriage slowly arriving and stopping beside theirs.

Now, Nagato often deployed the Heavenly Dao Pain on missions to increase the organization’s funds.

Lin En knew little about this matter. After all, the truth had long been buried in history. The original texts only revealed some details, which did not necessarily represent the whole truth.

Du Gongcai smiled and said, “We are not here to impose agricultural taxes but to inspect the land. Throughout history, powerful families have concealed fields, keeping them from public record.”

They had no way out. When they agreed to Ling Yun’s assistance in adjusting the Forbidden Cave’s seals, they had already boarded the same ship—sharing honor and disgrace. Even if their cause was wrong, they had no choice but to follow it to the bitter end.

As for Mount Shu, though it had revived, it could no longer match its former glory. Most of its disciples and elders were those Xu Yu had taken out years ago. Returning to their old home and seeing the mountain’s scars and devastation, recalling the once magnificent Sword Sect of Shu Mountain, tears welled up uncontrollably.

Bai Sen briefly entertained this thought but outwardly remained composed, showing only the excitement of having acquired a weapon—a look common to all successful testers, arousing no suspicion from the department head.

Also, the mage profession truly required wealth to manage. On the path of study, cultivation, and pursuit of truth, one could not escape the clutches of money. Don’t talk about treating money like dirt; unless you live in complete isolation, you will never avoid worldly troubles.
