Chapter 55

Within a magnificent and sprawling mansion, figures moved to and fro. This was the Bai Residence, which also served as the headquarters of the White-Robed Soul Hunting Group.

However, the reality lay bare before their eyes: Fang Kang had been defeated in a single move. It was a far cry from the guaranteed victory everyone had imagined, and this massive discrepancy left everyone momentarily stunned and unable to react.

The entire panda-loving populace—or rather, people across the entire country—had never anticipated that this fellow Hong Que was already prepared to shirk his responsibilities, slack off, and slip away when the time came.

Yet, his singing always managed to instill infinite hope and strength deep within people's hearts.

"Apologies, I've been caught up dealing with matters lately, and I even attended a banquet today before sneaking out," Alexia said, breaking the brief silence as she spoke first.

Li Yu groaned inwardly, having no choice but to first suppress Cen Qing into the Kan-Water Realm using the Ten-Directions Cloud Boundary Formation. Fortunately, Liu Pipian used a strand of Wood-Ether Poison Qi to seal off all the blood qi in Cen Qing's body, which allowed Li Yu to feel somewhat at ease. After all, although she could not deal with this troublesome situation, with this strand of Wood-Ether Poison Qi present, Cen Qing was unable to mobilize her true qi and naturally could not escape.

"What kind of idea?" Wang Congcong discovered that every idea Hong Que came up with was a path to making money, and naturally asked with excitement.

Li Yu channeled his cosmic magic to probe into the jade slip, and instantly a formation diagram rose up. The formation was divided into ten parts, each with its own special layout method and formula for refinement.

In truth, Ye Yunyi did not understand tea at all, nor could he taste any nuances in it; it was no different from drinking plain water to him. After all, the spiritual Qi within the tea was virtually nonexistent to his perception.

This was his ultimate domain, originating from the power of the Dragon God. Even a demigod would find it impossible to break free from these restraints in a short period of time.

Upon hearing these words, Qin Hongru did not display the expected anger, nor did he reprimand Qin Tianyi for his audacity. Instead, he looked gratified and full of anticipation.

Over the past three days, she had been like a person forgotten by the world. Not only had she failed to catch even a glimpse of the legendary imperial prison's divine artifacts, but she had not even undergone a single formal interrogation.

Several young elders of the Pill Sect stepped forward one after another to offer advice. Following their lead, many Pill Sect disciples eager to curry favor with them, as well as some envious disciples who were unwilling to let Ken Ruyi win first place in the quadrennial tournament, chimed in with words of persuasion.

Qin Leng gazed infatuatedly at An Yurong's sleeping face; An Yurong in sleep looked far sweeter than when she was awake.

Retreating his body backward, Ye Feng seized every split second without wasting time, striking out once more with a palm onto the dimming bright yellow 'hammer head,' whose soul-power fluctuations had weakened significantly.

Now that the memorial reports had mostly been dealt with, he would go check on the Crown Prince later. If there were no issues, once Mo Linglang returned, he would be ready to set off.

Mu Sheng reached out to receive it, touching it to his forehead, and could not help feeling overjoyed. The jade slip detailed various cultivation conditions of the Void-Returning stage, such as how to adapt and stabilize one's realm upon just entering the stage. True to Jian Nantian's words, it was not some cultivation technique, but to Mu Sheng at present, it was far more precious than any cultivation technique.

The next moment, Mother Su felt as though her knees were being strongly supported from below, making it impossible for her to kneel down no matter what. Raising her head, she happened to catch Tang Yun's smiling eyes.

Lacking the restraint of the Pearl Garment, the wild boar demon was truly no match for Luo Chen. Moreover, the Mengxuan Dharma Seal was not the true physical form of a supreme master; although there was some suppression, it could hardly be called an impregnable problem.

Liu Chengcheng belonged to the fresh graduate category, having not yet officially graduated, so looking for a job now meant she could only take on internship roles.

Currently, there were more than twenty Warring States Sacred War Lords, not counting Gu Yun's avatars. Quite a few of them were formerly rogue cultivators who had come seeking allegiance and, after undergoing evaluations, were absorbed by the War Alliance.

"What's going on?" Tianlun felt his heart skip a beat. Could it be that the elders had secretly gone to deal with Luo Chen and the others?

The sudden situation startled Lin Yuhan, causing her expression to shift once more. Her delicate face, which had been as pale as frost, instantly turned even whiter, and startled by the shock, her body shivered, nearly causing her to drop the teacup in her hand onto the ground.

By dusk, Wu Xiaoyan had not only personally delivered food and dishes, but had also brought along a fellow around Lin Feng's age. The guy was quite handsome and shared a few striking similarities with Wu Xiaoyan; presumably, this was his son, though he looked somewhat roguish.

The basement floor served as a billiard room, the first floor was a dance hall and bar, the second floor consisted of KTV rooms, the third floor was designated for fitness and leisure, and the fourth floor and above were offices leased to major companies.

"No, Qiu Xing and the others are waiting outside the airport. Let's go, shall we get in the car first?" Fearing that Xiao Qiang would pull some stunt in public, Meng Bingling hurriedly grabbed his hand and walked shyly toward the main exit.

Because Murong Chengfeng had already sensed a hint of impatience in some of Yun Chuilan's words. It was precisely Yun Chuilan's impatience that triggered everyone else's impatience.

This treasured artifact was the foundational treasure of the Hundred Illusions Sect, originally intended to provide some of the sect's outstanding disciples and high-ranking members a medium to comprehend the Dao of Illusions. Therefore, its autonomous attraction of Xu Huai's spiritual power was actually a form of resonance.

Gu Yun had spent 30,000 purple crystal coins today to buy such a large piece of Soul-Nourishing Jade, feeling extremely happy inside, which was why he agreed to whatever Situ Liang wanted to buy. He just wanted to toy with him a little—after all, who could be certain that this basin wasn't some sort of treasure?

When Gu Yun saw the pill recipe, he felt quite satisfied, and even harbored a rare trace of excitement. As for the subsequent auctioned treasures, Gu Yun rarely made a move, not because the treasures were of low grade, but because they were of no use to him. Even though Gu Yun's wealth was counted in the hundreds of millions, it could not withstand such lavish squandering.

He could also very decisively tell those reporters, those commentators, and his friends: No.

I gritted my teeth, clenched my fists, and walked back. The worst that could happen was getting beaten up by Li Yi. However, based on my experience from our recent interactions, I had figured out his temperament to some extent: he just had a harsh tongue, but rarely hit me. Even if he did strike, the force wouldn't be heavy; at any rate, it wouldn't be fatal.

Just at that moment, another booming sound echoed across the sky. The stone tablet that had appeared not long ago manifested once again, and instantly, everyone in the Blood Domain stopped what they were doing and looked up into the air.
