Volume 1, Chapter 130: Two Uninvited Guests

Even as horror seized them, wave after wave of despair swept over the fragile sandcastles of their hearts. Liu Yan flew into a rage, turned around, staggered once, and vanished after a few leaps.

“If it is truly safe as long as it does not exceed fifty percent, then I will give it a try—and verify whether you really exist.” Su Mubai had said this to himself before stirring the mysterious power within his body.

Lu Zhishen said nothing. He simply lifted his monk’s staff and walked inside. Before long, he found a skinning bench, dried human legs, and cooked arms in the rear hall and kitchen of the hotel. Only then did he finally believe it.

“Whoa! That thing can jump so high!” Tank was startled by the beast that suddenly appeared before him.

“That’s wonderful! Why don’t we drink right now?” Rangiku pulled Naruto toward the house.

Wherever the great sword pointed, a deep fissure split open in the ground, sending dust flying into the sky. Accompanied by a humming roar, the sword energy pursued Naruto.

The ceiling of the cavern was domed and stood at least several dozen zhang above the ground where Sun Fengzhao stood. The fluctuations of spiritual power further proved that this was another section of the underground world built by an ancient cultivator.

Yet Wu Ming, who had been listening attentively all along, showed no displeasure and offered no rebuttal. He simply allowed Sun Fengzhao to continue spewing whatever insults came to mind.

Only a few scattered zombies wandered beside the abandoned cars in the street, and they showed no intention of approaching the GRX elites.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Shun and the others dropped to their knees in unison. They respectfully kowtowed three times to Song Jiang, then kowtowed three times to each of the generals on either side. After that, they rose together and left the Hall of Gathering Justice without looking back.

As for why the remaining seven merely watched from the sidelines instead of trying to seize the Nine Heavens Sword Casket from Yi Tianxing, they probably still had too much pride to stoop to such a thing.

Dai Mubai, who had been left utterly embarrassed, stared intently at Li Xuan. He swore that if he ever encountered another opportunity to deal with Li Xuan, he would never let it pass. He absolutely had to make Li Xuan suffer a setback as well.

Time was like a turning millstone. Driven onward by the years, it tempered both the body and the will, gradually grinding all the hardships and suffering of life into powder and blending them into the smallest details of daily existence.

From that moment on, I became trapped in the contradiction of knowing that I could not change the status quo while desperately longing to change it. I was trapped in the contradiction of having the will to reform, yet lacking the strength to turn the tide.

To reach the Comprehension Realm in one’s understanding of the Immortal Dao while in the Yin-Yang Realm was already enough to mark one as an outstanding talent among men. One might not be able to sweep across the world, but one would certainly count as a powerful figure within a radius of ten villages and eight townships. And on the vast stage of the Immortal Land, those ten villages and eight townships could mean the cities within a thousand, or even ten thousand, miles.

The disciple guarding the gate apologized and explained that he had seen a large number of elders from the sect fly away that morning, but had no idea what had happened. The last time such a grand spectacle had occurred was, well, the last time.

At six in the evening, everyone arrived in groups of two or three, most of them harboring extremely high expectations for this private club. Yet once they reached their destination, they all hesitated in unspoken agreement. There was no grand residence as they had imagined, nor was the place particularly concealed. It did not even have a parking lot.

Su Nuo had regained some of her senses. Even though the surroundings were despairing, her reaction just now had indeed been far too extreme.

Qing Tu remained silent, making it clear that he would not be easily swayed by Qing Mu’s temptations. Until the Great King announced that the banquet had begun, no one would dare steal a bite.

Dense spiritual energy gathered all around, forming a faint mist. Nangong Huiyue, who had been resting on Yi Tianxing’s back, suddenly opened her bright eyes, startled by the changes around her.

While Xiahou Xue was clinging to Gu Pan’ge, Xiahou Yun’er said nothing. After paying her respects to the elders present, she sat down at the very end.

“Shen Li, you idiot! Don’t you realize that what you just said has provoked public outrage and makes you incredibly punchable?” Several people, including Qi Yuan, cast disgusted looks at Shen Li.

“I had merely heard a little about it, but I did not believe you were capable of taking the Demon Origin Sword from the Mount Shu Sect. Now that I have seen you today, I believe it. Still, as far as I was concerned, whether or not you possessed the Demon Origin Sword, the outcome would have been the same.” The Black-Hearted Old Monster spoke.

As soon as they descended from the clouds, Xia Amei expressed her deepest apologies. She said that she felt terribly sorry for bringing Xiao Hengwei to such a desolate place without his consent, then asked when he planned to return to the Xiao family so that she could see him off.

By then, both sides had already entered the Elven Realm. Without wasting words, Weiersailiya immediately deployed the elven magical armor of the Dreadnought and flew into the sky. Every cannon port locked onto Alice’s forces, and in the next instant, a storm of artillery fire poured down.

No one paid him any attention. After calling out for a while, Emperor Jianyuan himself found it pointless. He simply pulled the brocade quilt over his head, turned toward the wall, and went to sleep.

Why was he always assigned such bloody work? Once Guo Lixin finished working as a bricklayer, he would sit down with him and have a serious talk about life.

Chi Mu said nothing. But when Yu Hen mentioned the words “Empress,” her eyes flickered, and she pouted in displeasure. Fortunately, Leng Tianjue did not see it; otherwise, Chi Mu would surely have suffered for it.

She did not ask how Lin Lechang was doing, fearing that it would upset Lin Yan. Instead, she merely spoke about the fabric in her hands.

Only then did Xia Amei realize that Xiahou Qingyi truly cared about her. A pang of guilt immediately welled up inside her, and she nodded in agreement.

“All right. We’ll work hard together and defeat them!” I clasped Lin Xue’s hand tightly and spoke with resolve.
