Chapter 131: A Female Sect Leader, of All People?

"Oh?" Ye Cheng finally felt a flicker of interest. "You know the Immortal Dew Terrace like the back of your hand? What reason do I have to believe you?"

"My life is in your hands, my lord! How could I possibly dare to lie to you?" Li Kai was truly desperate...

You Zhuanding was different. Gifted with a naturally booming voice, he had always been a formidable figure in Xiheng County, and there were very few officials who dared to stand up to him. Often, a single glare from You Zhuanding was enough to make even the most monumental problems vanish into thin air. This was a trait that Zhao Zhengce greatly admired.

Half an hour later, clusters of signal flares bloomed in the night sky outside the city of Heshan Pass. A coalition of over a dozen tribes, totaling more than four thousand soldiers, charged through the darkness. Half remained outside the pass, while the other half headed toward Pingchuan City to block the Northern Sa Army. More and more reinforcements from the border tribes continued to arrive.

As the two were locked in combat, a massive hand suddenly reached out from the heavens and snatched the Yamata no Orochi. Before it could resist, an unimaginably enormous face appeared in the sky, opened its mouth, and swallowed the serpent whole. After consuming the creature, the giant cast a fleeting, piercing gaze toward the water mirror.

As he walked, a thousand-foot-long sea serpent suddenly swept its tail toward him. Yuan Hong pointed a finger, and the serpent was instantly severed in two. Yet, it only grew more ferocious; ignoring its missing half, it lunged forward and swallowed Yuan Hong whole in one gulp.

I know Dianli’s magical prowess better than anyone. His power has already reached 8,000 units. If I am not mistaken, Dianli is already a high-level mage. Ye Xin, oh Ye Xin, how could you possibly fight him? What could have driven you to battle him?

The problem was that these terrifying warriors, filled with bloodlust and courage, lacked self-control on the battlefield. The ancient Aujin warriors suffered from the same flaw—a weakness Fred had discovered only at the cost of tens of thousands of coalition soldiers' lives.

At the Adventurers' Guild, Wudi presented fourteen ground dragon tails as proof of his completed quest. He could have brought any part of the beasts to verify his success, but he chose the tails, as they were the least valuable part of the creatures.

"The main street where the gatehouse stands is no longer Heart Road. You see, the road that used to connect to the highway is now serving as the Heart Road," the driver whispered, offering an explanation.

"You... you wouldn't force me..." Wu Yan’s voice was colored with the ambiguity of desire. His eyes, brimming with tears, held a mixture of fear and a flicker of longing. His body, never before touched by passion, instinctively pressed against Ran Zeqian’s burning skin, creating an air of half-hearted resistance that only invited more.

Xuandu drifted before the Demon Master Kunpeng and bowed, remaining silent. This was the brilliance of the Daoist Xuandu; in such a battle between the Wu and Demon clans, saying anything at all would be inappropriate. By simply saying nothing—and given that he was a generation junior to Kunpeng—his display of respect brought no shame.

However, Silla was no pushover. While secretly dispatching envoys to beg for aid from the Great Tang, they simultaneously organized their forces to launch a counterattack.

"This... wouldn't that be unwise? The Health Bureau has direct jurisdiction over us. If we cross them, it seems unlikely we'll have a good outcome," Zhang Jin said, knitting his brows in uncertainty.

They were well aware that leaving the Di family meant losing everything. From then on, let alone living in luxury, they feared they would have no place left to stand in Yunhai.

Then, a massive fish-beast king, its power comparable to the peak of the Great Perfection of the Spirit Profound Realm, beat its wings and soared into the air, launching an attack on Yunhao and the others nearby.
