Volume 1, Chapter 55: Her Life Was Ruined by a Man

Because her relationship with Lin Baozhu had progressed by leaps and bounds, Yu Yaxuan wore a happy smile on her face the entire next day at work.

Her father only cared about whether his own life was bitter or sweet, and never once asked her if she was doing well. When she was destitute, unable to carry burdens with her shoulders or lift anything with her hands, when she was beaten by countless people while she was down, and even bullied by lewd men... her father had never asked about her, not a single time.

"Don't overthink it. Leng Zixiao has inherited the mantle of the Ghost Valley Divine Physician, so he should have a way. The Western King has already gone to find him," Su Ranhua said.

He signaled Bai Ze and the others to retreat. At this moment, he certainly didn't dare to recall Bai Ze and the others directly back into his own world, because there was still a large horde of fire spirits lingering here.

The moment I turned around, I saw him. He was sitting by the window, sizing me up, and I had no idea how long he had been sitting there.

When my feet finally touched the ground, my expression involuntarily darkened. Several corpses were already lying on the ground. Evidently, because they weren't accustomed to this place, they had been killed instantly from the fall. Yet, having been dashed to their deaths, why were there not even any lingering spirits left behind? My heart skipped a beat, and a sudden, quiet dread welled up within me.

As for the rest, the finest pills Qin Hao possessed were merely a few supreme-grade pills, with the majority being heavenly-grade pills, which were also the ones he used most frequently.

Back then, Liang Yimo knew very well that Han Siyou had used the excuse of wanting a hot, freshly cooked meal just to give them peace of mind while staying there. Although the excuse was rather far-fetched, she still accepted it. They shared a tacit understanding; in an unfamiliar city, they were entirely without support, and if they didn't rely on him, it would truly be difficult to gain a foothold.

"Why shouldn't we be able to influence it? Matters of the heart require taking the initiative. If you cower and hesitate, you'll never figure out anything, and you'll never accomplish anything!" Le Yushan widened her eyes and retorted defiantly.

"Burn her to ashes!" Ximen Zhe squeezed the words bitterly through his teeth. Didn't Li Xueyun want to be burned to death? Then they would help reduce her to ashes, leaving not a single bone behind.

Thinking of a certain possibility, the expression on Gu Yufei's face shifted slightly. Immediately afterward, he hurriedly shook his head, forcing himself to banish the ominous feeling from his mind. He trusted the people in his own family; this must simply be Gu Yuzhou's tactic to sow discord and panic among the people, completely not worth mentioning.

With all worries for the future removed, after a period of rest and dormancy, the Profound Ice Palace began to develop and expand at a rapid pace. Free of its mortal enemy, the Purple Flame Sect, the Profound Ice Palace became the undisputed hegemon of the cultivation world in the Shang State, ushering in the most glorious era in its history—of course, all of that is a story for another day.

As for that completely dead bamboo viper, Mama Liao had already thrown it into the brazier to be burned to ashes. Qin Yumuan watched the dying flames, while the doubts in her heart swelled infinitely.

Furthermore, the life and death of the Dragon God Palace had no great bearing on these people. Since it was not their own sect, there was no need to risk their lives for it.

Luo Tiejun, however, completely disregarded the gazes of the crowd. After Shi Qinggui boarded the vehicle, instead of getting into his own car, he followed Shi Qinggui inside, evidently vying for the "highest honor" of being the first to report to him.

In fact, this point could already be discerned when they engaged Lu Qingyun in combat, and Lu Qinghe had merely held the attitude of doing everything in human power to try.

The heavy MO sabers were razor-sharp, yet comparable in weight to iron hammers. When the blades crashed down against the shields wielded by the Xiliang army, the wooden shields proved utterly incapable of withstanding the mighty cleaving force of the MO sabers. The shields of numerous Xiliang soldiers were split wide open by the officers and men of Liu Bian's army, and the shield-bearers were cleaved straight down the middle along with them.
