Chapter 55

Although filled with lingering resentment, Yan Xu no longer dared to use divine sense communication to reply to the National Preceptor. Moreover, the National Preceptor had already promised him pills to heal his spatial injuries and given him a chance, so what more could he say? This was a privilege he did not have before.

Not far from Qin Yu's private box, inside the very same box previously occupied by the First Prince of the blazing sun, a man of nearly thirty stood with a gloomy expression. His gaze was fixed straight on the boxes of the Thunder Roaring and Void Practicing sects, sinking deep into thought.

The mercenary captain gave the mounts of the Lingering Sword and the Demolishing Gunrider a forceful slap on their flanks, and the two beasts were automatically led toward the direction of the demon army.

Thus, he abruptly halted, turned around, and crossed two strangely shaped short batons that he had already drawn into his hands, preparing to meet the enemy.

"Phew..." Ye Lin let out a silent, long breath. If Tang Ying had stayed here any longer, a warrior's instinctive reaction to danger might have exposed the fact that Ye Lin was not actually unconscious.

Looking with utter depression at Chen Wu, who had finished making his announcement and was now gazing at him playfully, Qin Yu was practically speechless... Yet the other party didn't care at all upon seeing his expression, chuckled softly, and turned around to leave without the slightest hesitation.

Glancing at the sign to make sure he had not found the wrong place, Qin Yu lifted his foot without hesitation and walked inside. This was also the place Wang Fugui had told him he must visit upon heading to the Divine Mechanism Realm.

Xu Yuan looked at the silent man opposite her. He had been looking at her like this for a long time. If she hadn't been in such desperate need of this job, given his dissolute appearance and her usual temperament, Xu Yuan would have long since flicked her sleeves and walked away.

The blood-colored armor looked as though it were forged from fresh blood, and the baleful aura around him materialized into substance, making him resemble a demon crawling out of hell. He smiled as he looked at the powerful figures of the Heavenly Court and the Daoist Alliance—it was none other than the Blood-Origin Great Emperor.

"Don't worry, we will definitely save this city. Since Sacred Light said so, there is definitely no problem!" This expression of Ryder's was one of Leot's least favorites, so he stood up, walked over to Ryder, patted his shoulder, and encouraged him.

Lu Qi'an thought to himself that this was bad; the anger from today at the Five Clouds Tower must still not have faded, and he had to hurry and smooth things over.

Feifei remained unmoved, having already received a hint from Long Jianfei earlier that she should ignore such scum.

At that moment, a sharp flash of lightning violently pierced through the sky, its sound stabbing straight at the eardrums. The heavens and earth abruptly darkened as all sunlight and moonlight vanished. Only the formless, flowing luminous pearls continued to emit a steady stream of white light, illuminating the entire grand hall.

On the way back, Qin Yu took the opportunity to take her to apply for a bank card, and she was currently looking at online tutorials to link her phone.

At this moment, Xu Xiaotong, whose face was pale with panic, was still trapped in terror. Long Jianfei stepped down the stairs and gave her a supporting hand.

In front of the sofa, a middle-aged man with injuries on his face knelt miserably on the ground, his head lowered and his body trembling uncontrollably. Standing on either side behind him were tall, sturdy men dressed in black and tailored suits; the one on the right was called Dragon Seven, and the one on the left, Dragon Nine.

In the blink of an eye, Tatie galloped right up to Shangguan Yun. It leaped high into the air, landed with a long, resonant whinny, and approached Shangguan Yun, gently rubbing its long face against him with an expression of immense joy.

Meanwhile, Li Zhichen moved like a wild goose stepping on snow; with a single bound of his body, his long sword thrust toward Wangzi. Wangzi's expression changed slightly as he struck out with one palm. Li Zhichen's sword technique did not slow down, piercing straight through. Then, with a sudden leap, he turned, wrapped his arms around Mei Hanxia, and abandoned his sword as he fled.

Their mental states had completely collapsed. Such a fine piece of imperial bone had been treated with such childish frivolity, driving them to the absolute limits of speechlessness.

"Brother Zhao, we'll be heading off first. You guys hurry up too; once the market hits its closing time, the crowd will disperse," Qi Yang patted Zhao Zhao's shoulder, smiled with a harmless expression, and hopped onto the three-wheeled motorcycle in one fluid motion.

An Nianchu froze for a fraction of a second, her gaze resting levelly on his rosy lips. Without another word, she pulled him toward her, cupped his face, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.

Lowering her gaze and bowing to serve from the side, Han Qiu spoke no further after this point. The Emperor was the ruler of the nation; he would surely be able to discern what was truly going on here.

Su Nianan quietly left the room. The pain in her father's heart was something she could never fully comprehend. Perhaps it was because she had never possessed even the slightest impression of her mother, so whenever her father said anything, she could only rely on imagination. She would wonder: Would her mother have smiled at her? Would her mother have doted on her?

Three cultivators above the Xiantian realm were locked in a fierce battle ten thousand meters up in the sky. For a time, driven by the forces of the three, the wind and clouds changed color. Even the people down in the city below could feel the pressure descending from the heavens and raised their heads to look up in succession.

Kernel reported with a sense of vindication; if the Imperial Noble Consort dared to harm her master, she was an irreconcilable enemy to the death.

Shen Yuxin was truly startled. Her background was an open secret within the Shen family, but before outsiders, it was a scandal that must never be mentioned. In the eyes of her so-called father, her mother's humble status was unworthy of him; had she not been registered under the legal wife's name, her identity would never have been made public.

Hearing the word "fish," Ye Chen stretched his neck out to peer into the river. He didn't see any fish, but he certainly saw plenty of weeds.

As soon as they reached the edge of the pool, they felt a bone-chilling cold. The white mink frowned slightly; naturally, he would not agree to let Ye Chen go down there.

When Shen Yuxin walked in, the kindergarten director wore an understanding expression. Shen Yuxin figured the director had probably already guessed the purpose of her visit, which instead made her somewhat hesitant to speak.

Mother Ouyang appeared at the doorway wearing a dress and carrying a handbag. The moment she saw me, the hatred lurking in the depths of her eyes was almost too much for her to conceal.

This was actually quite interesting. Moreover, according to the system, it seemed not just players from a single server were participating, but all servers across the entire pinnacle realm. Thinking of this, Tong Tian's lips curled up slightly; this felt rather similar to a world championship tournament.
