Chapter 47
“The underworld and the legitimate world are on the brink of war, and my parents have been worried about this matter constantly. I don’t want them to strain their relationship because of me and Qi Chang’an.” Feng Guang looked at his injured hand, now coated with a cooling ointment applied by Wan Xuan, the pain completely gone.
These words were not addressed to the man fiddling with his phone, but to the driver sitting in front.
Behind Chunyu Hu, hundreds of bodyguards shouted in unison, their voices echoed by the Han soldiers, lifting the morale somewhat.
“The money can be transferred at any time, but can you find the seeds for these medicinal herbs?” Ye Yulin hurriedly inquired.
After a moment, Wang Qingyu hurriedly stepped out of the gate and climbed into a carriage. Li Zhen watched the carriage disappear into the distance, recalling her earnest advice earlier that morning. Such kindness stirred within him a profound sense of gratitude, though he was at a loss as to how to repay her.
That morning, upon waking, she wore a loose sweater and had just reached the foot of the stairs when she sensed the atmosphere had shifted. Without hesitation, she glanced down toward the living room, where Xia Chao and Wang Ci sat opposite another man.
In the darkness, Di Yan’s cheeks flushed slightly. Yang Honglie had actually addressed her as “Madam.” She knew Yang Honglie was Li Zhen’s personal guard captain and deeply involved in arranging her marriage to Li Zhen, so his calling her “Madam” was only natural.
Since Shouchun began, Xiang Zhuang had appeared resolute to the point of coldness and even cruelty. Would he simply give up?
“We’re tasked with clearing out the Blood-Red Monastery. The reward is the Ailanti Necklace, a legendary item, though this legendary artifact has been sealed,” the old sorcerer explained.
Nangong Aotian’s recruitment efforts were swift; with a blink, he gathered the necessary resources. Though there were wounds to mend and tasks to complete, Nangong Aotian used his long-range abilities to subdue Zhu Meide Yuansheng, who absorbed the medicinal pills. The refining process was arduous, but the aim was to restore vitality. Whether the forces were righteous or evil remained uncertain, but the mixture was perfect for nourishing Zhu Meide Yuansheng.
At the lower level, both Babidi and the Kaioshin were stunned. The former hurriedly asked Dida Pula beside him if he could use his earth magic to shift the battlefield to a planet more suitable for Puyi’s fighting style.

“Arrogant fool! I have heard of the Holy Grail War for a long time, but never have I seen any heroic spirit dare to claim they are the strongest on Earth.” The shikigami’s cold gaze fixed on Wu Yong as he stepped forward with agile movements. His exquisite katana cut a gleaming arc through the air, brutally slashing at Wu Yong’s shoulder.
Feng Luocheng’s breath caught instantly; the blade’s edge in his eyes grew larger and larger until it was less than ten centimeters away, only then did he recover from the strangling sensation of being locked and suffocated.
There were many things I wanted to say to her deep in my heart, but I didn’t know how, so I could only turn away, feeling incomplete.
This concerned Li Duo’s life and death. Even the usually calm Ling Xue could no longer sit still. While speaking to Li Duo, she hurriedly prepared to act.
After taking a few more puffs, Shi San found it increasingly uncomfortable. He had to clear out the tobacco and clip the pipe back to his belt, his words tinged with irritation from the unsatisfied craving.
Mu Binglan, hearing this, though understanding it was a pretext to find a reason to eliminate Li Zhe, couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment.
This time, the white ape finally understood. Excitedly leaping from the tree, it picked up a branch about the same length and loudly howled several times, patting its chest and revealing a rare, proud, almost human expression.
Upon hearing Nangong Aotian’s boastful remarks, Mu remained unmoved, maintaining a smile throughout, exuding calm and grace.
He had come on a mission, but unaware of Pei Min’s whereabouts, he first went to Guang’en Town. Seeing over a thousand Tufan warriors with severed limbs kneeling outside the city, a fierce flame blazed in his heart: these Tufan warriors had fought far and wide, never enduring such humiliation. He vowed to accomplish his goal and bring the warriors back home.
In this environment, he stumbled even walking with a talisman in hand. Yet Kaguya and Yang Yu, without any light source, were unaffected in the slightest. Apparently, being a spirit had its advantages.
“By the way, Team Leader Yan mentioned to me before that you seem to be investigating something about the pedestrian street,” Zhai Feifei said.

Before Okamoto could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a hand press on his shoulder, and his body became as if weighed down by a stone, unable to move.
Li Sisheng was stunned. What was this about? He was living comfortably at the Loyal King’s mansion and now had to stay with several “brothers” who might be potential rivals?
With a sharp “crack,” the talented spirit sword broke without warning. Yan Lu immediately spat blood, his face full of terror.
“Assimilation.” Unexplainably, he now understood this spiritual mark’s function—to assimilate other energies invading his body into life energy.
“I said you don’t need to pay with money, but it must be paid with something else,” Ming Chuan said, stirring his coffee with a spoon as he spoke.
Huang Yu gave no response. He believed that the body tempering technique surely had some merit, and he did not believe that cultivation was impossible without dragon bloodline.
Huang Yu remained vigilant, refusing to relax despite his exhaustion because his mind was constantly alert to danger signals. What he didn’t know was that although his divine sense detected nothing, there was indeed a hidden presence plotting to assassinate the three of them from a shadowy corner.
Simultaneously, he swiftly activated the Burning Sword secret technique, surI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
