Chapter 50: Is It That Young Lady?

In truth, today Qiao Muting was in an exceptionally good mood. He finally had the opportunity, under the pretense of his cousin’s follow-up examination, to properly put that woman in her place. At the same time, he could observe her closely to see what ulterior motives she might still be harboring. Moreover, the evening ball at the embassy was something he had been eagerly anticipating. Yet, to his surprise, after waiting here since dawn, that “ugly woman” hadn’t shown up!

“She had other matters to attend to, so I brought Xiao Li with me. What’s the matter, Muting?” Bei Ru Ruo Xue nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with curiosity as she gazed at Yan Jicheng’s anxious face.

I still can’t leave; I must stay close to Uncle Jianzhou and the others. Once the barbecue is ready, I’ll have to serve it to them.

If Jiang Yun were to see this tree trunk, she would immediately recognize it as the same kind of tree used to craft the staff that killed the Sky Patrol Envoy back then.

The Three-Flavored True Fire is a legendary existence; even Ye Feng had only heard of it and never encountered it. Yet, despite never witnessing it herself, she was now certain beyond doubt that Mo Yun’er had conjured the Three-Flavored True Fire.

Lin Tiancheng had gained the help of the king of African tree snakes through a stroke of luck; that alone was a matter of fortune.

The Fire Qilin’s fire attribute originates from Vermilion Bird among the Four Divine Beasts; the Wind Qilin represents White Tiger, the Water Qilin is Azure Dragon, and the Earth Qilin stands for Black Tortoise.

The spirit monsters outside stared in awe at Yan Jicheng, who seemed to descend like a god of slaughter. All the while, Yan Jicheng’s gaze remained vigilant, his azure eyes flickering with thunderous sounds each time he blinked.

Tong’er squinted, but before the smile on her face could fully bloom, her expression abruptly froze. From the night sky above, a chilling murderous intent swept straight toward her and Ding Yu.

A red and a white longsword clashed dozens of times in a sudden storm, every sound overlapping into a single crisp note.

From that moment on, Avril resolved to stay by Lin Tiancheng’s side and strive to improve herself. Furthermore, Lin Tiancheng had promised Avril that, once he purged the Republic’s Martial Arts Alliance of its corrupt elements, he would avenge her.

Because the wound was inflicted on the lower back, the internal organs were spared; the most serious issue was blood loss, but Fuqu had an excellent remedy for that.

This ghost was weak; if a Yuan Sovereign encountered demonic obstacles during a breakthrough, it might attract true evil spirits, catching people completely off guard.

Wu Siqi, whether out of enmity for the Duke of Wei’s household or in pursuit of power, had killed the old lady of the Duke’s mansion. Liu Ziheng felt nothing about it.

Hundred Woods Plain was vast; to search blindly for the Cypress of the Dead would be futile. Fang Yinuo still needed a guide, and Lin Changfeng and the others had to prepare medicines and other supplies before venturing into the forest.

“Since you’re all going, I’ll take a look too,” Sun Wukong nodded and even allowed a faint smile to appear on his face.

“Prince Xing?” At the mention of those words, Yang Tinghe and the others’ pupils contracted. After exchanging glances, each saw a shadow lurking in the eyes of the others.

“Why did you call me?” Zhang Zongyan calmed himself before replying.

All of them had achieved the Yuan Sovereign breakthrough within the secret realm, but had not yet fully grasped the mysteries of that stage.

Ping’an chose mediocrity to secure a relatively free life, and Fang Xing feigned ignorance, never asking anyone to add to their academic burdens.

Fang Yinuo had never intended to accept; before entering Hundred Woods Plain, he was confident he could defeat Mao Yu, and now, after killing five Yuan Sovereigns in the forest, he had mastered even greater techniques.

Upon hearing Ren Kai speak, Jing Yan understood that Emperor Xiawu had warned him before bestowing honors, but Jing Yan felt resentment. Why should steadfast loyalty be deemed covert and sinister beneath imperial power? Was Emperor Xiawu truly so jealous and intolerant?
