Volume 1, Chapter 63: Time to Go Out and Play

Ning Xiu wore a somewhat strange expression. Upon further reflection, given the other party's martial prowess, harming him would likely require nothing more than the flick of a finger.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qu!" Seeing Qu Wuming put away the Falling Star Pearl, Wan Xing knew that unless the other party volunteered an explanation, it was best for everyone else not to inquire about the treasure. The matter was now completely closed.

The following day, dawn had already broken. Liu Heng, who normally woke up at the fifth watch, only just woke up now because Dou Yifang felt he was too exhausted and chose not to disturb him.

"Very well." Qu Wuming cupped his hands in a salute to the newcomer, then extended the storage ring forward.

Outside Minglan Palace, the sedan-chair bearers were still waiting for Qin Yilian. As the evening grew late and the chill deepened, the bearers began to murmur complaints about Qin Yilian's sluggishness.

"Besides, do you truly believe that people like you are capable of killing me? The Wang Family Army is ever-victorious and unbroken in battle."

As soon as Wang Yu spoke these words, the Prince of Northern Suppression remained unperturbed, but the men standing behind him grew somewhat restless.

He had been careless! He had still lacked caution, placing all his attention on Wang Han while neglecting Wang Han's parents.

Furthermore, he could tell that this person possessed an open and serene expression with sincere words, utterly unlike those deceitful individuals.

"Secretly mobilize the troops and stockpile forces. Since Guo Jing acts with such unbridled arrogance, he must pay the price."

"Well, the synthesis route itself doesn't have many issues, but the problem with impurities has been severe. Even after changing the solvent, there's still no noticeable effect." Unsure of where the error lay, Bai Hui pulled out his iPad from his backpack after the dishes were served and showed the professor the data he had recently summarized.

That sharp blade flashed with a stunning stroke. Without any sword qi and without employing excessive spiritual power, it pierced into Chang Qing's palm as effortlessly as slicing vegetables, severing half of Chang Qing's hand.

Yet he felt a sense of self-ridicule. What on earth was he even thinking about right now? Shouldn't the primary focus of everything at this moment be considering how to wrest Yelü Aogu back from Xiao Talin?

Young Master Shi, at the Xiantian realm, and Luo Cheng, who had not even reached the peak of the Houtian realm, certainly did not believe the latter could defy the heavens either. Occasionally breaking common sense could be excused as an accident, but if it were broken repeatedly, wouldn't the ironclad laws accumulated over endless ages in this Ultimate Central Heaven become a laughingstock?

Moji Xiao hastily grabbed two students, tucked one under each arm, and hurried down the mountain. After delivering the two down, he flew back up the mountain again, shuttling back and forth without stopping.

"You flatter me, you flatter me!" Yin Yin lifted her bag and smiled slightly, appearing immensely gentle and adorable. Then, looking towards her teammates, the first and second teams were already clashing. An Ming was focused on his operation and did not look at her, whereas Xiachong, sitting off to the side, gave her a nod.

"Uncle Zong, it really is a bit of a waste for you to serve merely as an army inspector. Why don't you command an army yourself instead?" Zhang Bao suddenly proposed to Zong Ze.

Chang Qing felt some regret regarding his impulsive action the previous day, but at the time, there had simply been no spare manpower available.

"What do you mean? If you harbor any prejudice against me, you are entirely free to go back and report it. The matter is settled thus," Moji Xiao said coldly.

"Elder Yuan? Can you tell me what the Celestial Realm and the Terrestrial Fiend Realm are truly about? Why does it involve the seventy-two stars of earth?" Shen Aotian asked with a puzzled expression.

He had many things he wished to ask Qi Jue, especially since Qi Cheng had witnessed what seemed to be genetic assimilation occurring in Qi Jue, and had reported everything upon returning this time.

Dong Ling'er spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The moment this blood was expelled, the flames that had been momentarily held at bay surged forward once more, scorching away Dong Ling'er's sleeve in the blink of an eye and threatening to reach her arm.

"Give me a reason." Yu Aotian rested one hand on the back of the sofa, his handsome face still carrying a wicked and alluring smile.

Originally, Bai Yi had intended to let the Primordial Demon Monarch cultivate within the Holy Spirit Pagoda, where he could at least enjoy more cultivation time. However, looking at the situation now, that idea had to be abandoned; after all, there were still far too many tasks awaiting the Primordial Demon Monarch, leaving no room for undivided concentration on cultivation.

"What has got you looking so distressed?" Li Ruifeng handed her a canned beverage and asked leisurely.

Meanwhile, Yu Min returned to her office and made contact with Beijing through the red dedicated secure telephone line.

"Just a charlatan, picking up a few superficial tricks somewhere and starting to masquerade as a master of traditional Chinese medicine—truly laughable!" Wang娜 (Wang Lina) glanced sideways at Han Kui and strode away.

"Alright, Dad! I'll let them know. I'll call you when I arrive!" Lin Jiani said before hanging up.

However, if such negative news were to genuinely erupt, Yu Aotian might even find himself stripped of eligibility for the election three years hence.

Facing Caldwell and Wilson, Rooney remained confident. Giggs advanced at that moment, drawing Caldwell's attention as Rooney unleashed a shot.

The Merfolk chieftain had been injured half a year ago while fighting Xia Wuyi, and the reason for their duel was Quan Yufei's former fiancé, Tao Ji. That scoundrel had toyed with affections and even attempted to murder Lü Chunxin. It was Xia Wuyi who traveled thousands of miles to rescue his final disciple, ultimately sustaining injuries himself, which was how he came to cross paths with Du Ziheng.

First came returning home in glory driving a luxury car, and then hiring a master chef from the city to cook fine meals for everyone.

Lin Xuan was indeed lurking in the shadows, feeling utterly helpless. This wasn't instant messaging! This was a forum! What kind of circumstances could possibly lead people to treat a forum like QQ? Truly formidable... Yet, it seemed that those who knew his identity were all helping him keep his secret.

With the team's prospects looking excellent this season and his own advanced age, he naturally prioritized the bigger picture to see if he could capture the league title.

Along the way, they won the League Cup and the league championship. Most importantly, Manchester United also secured this season's UEFA Champions League trophy, enjoying boundless prestige and momentum.

It turned out that the people residing within his native planet—even those who achieved stellar bodies—were merely comparable to practitioners in the cultivation world who had just drawn spiritual energy into their bodies, belonging to unranked tiers. Only a million light-years away did one truly enter the martial realm.

Thinking of the resentful gaze with which Bai Shushu stared at Ren Xuyu, and the envious look Ren Xuyu directed as he lunged toward her, Lvyu felt immensely refreshed.

He was already getting the hang of this tool, and sketching a few stick figures was a breeze. He planned to press his advantage; if he could use this to complete line art, his future work would become much easier.

He grabbed the car keys off his office desk, slammed the office door shut with a huff, and drove straight toward Far East University. His teacher, Liang Qichao, was undoubtedly a crucial link in this chain.
