39. The City of Flowers and Birds (1)

After two or three days of peaceful and smooth living, Sun Yongfeng and Zhao Xuantuan came to visit.

The Empress Dowager looked at them both with an enigmatic expression. Was she, an old woman, hindering their conversation? Perhaps it would be better to leave the space to the young people; she should get someone to accompany her for a walk instead.

Zhuge Xiongfei was about to speak when a sudden cry of pain drew the attention of all three. It turned out that Xu Jian and Sun Sheng were removing wooden thorns from Qian Lang’s body, and every time a thorn was pulled out, Qian Lang let out a wail.

After Yang Tianlang finished speaking, both he and Lu Hao could no longer contain themselves and burst into loud laughter. Zhuge Xiongfei, standing nearby, also felt amused by their exchange, but for the sake of his own decorum, he did not let it show on his face.

Furthermore, compared to Yue Qinghuan’s breathtaking beauty, Ji Yunzhu truly could not help but feel inferior.

Daoyuan dared not be slow. With a ghostly retreat, a flash, and a twist, he found a sliver of space within the impossible. He unleashed the Sword of Life and Death, pouring all the remaining true energy in his body into it. A seven-foot-long golden-purple sword glow appeared out of thin air and struck violently toward the phantom.

If it were Yu Qianche, even if there were thousands of troops and horses outside, he would fight to the very last second.

However, constrained by the Xiao family’s influence and his previous words, he dared not immediately go back on his promise, so he could only stand there, hesitant and indecisive.

"You are a future Fox Emperor, after all; why are you being so polite to an ordinary passerby? You haven’t learned a shred of your father’s dominance. Hmph," Murong Xiyue pouted and said.

This was a high-difficulty task that required immense stamina and endurance, especially arm strength. First, the barbed wire was very low—at the height of a person crawling on the ground—and if one tried to stand up, they would surely be injured. Second, the route was very long. Once inside, one had to crawl for a long time to reach the exit.

Both had lived in the human world, but the difference was that this fellow had spent several more years navigating the treacherous power struggles of the demon royal family.

Speaking of which, Lu Changfeng actually felt a bit aggrieved. How he wished he could talk more with his wife, but Luna only opened the floodgates of conversation after Ye Fenghui and Qian Yun arrived.

Before long, the Boss was drained to death by the stems and leaves inside its own body—a truly pathetic way to die.

Following Yun Jinyao’s suggestion, the Nangong Sect did not waste resources building a city but instead purchased several mountain peaks to develop like a true cultivation sect.

So Ye Fenghui watched steadily; though her demeanor was calm and confident, she could not help but feel a silent sense of awe in her heart.

Xiang Qin was stunned for a few seconds. His first thought was not to drink; these people had captured them all and stuffed them into iron cages. Aside from humiliation, they must intend to torture them as well.

Tang Yu knew of her worries and did not call her out on it, simply sitting on the sofa opposite her, naturally crossing his legs. His movements were extremely elegant and pleasant to watch.

They transformed into rays of sharp mysterious energy, directly sealing the path of the approaching Dark Ones.

"Is this the character of students from the God Class?" Long Yunzhan realized what was happening, and with a movement of his palm, he attacked straight toward Si Minghan.

She paused for a moment, then suddenly moved, leaping toward the person and reaching out to pull them over.

In an instant, endless golden light erupted, intertwining with the terrifying black energy, producing endless light and electricity that crackled and exploded in a spectacular display.

Chi Jianglin was taken aback, wondering what was going on. Why was he acting like he had swallowed gunpowder? Why was he lashing out at him?

The "Asura Energy" unleashed possessed a corrosive power even greater than demonic energy.

"There are currently two disruptors appearing, located in Shenshe City in the west and Yongxing City in the south."

The cloaked figure seemed to have anticipated his refusal, so he was not surprised, saying calmly instead.

Suddenly, the red and white light point formed an extreme pillar of light, striking toward the Demon-Extinguishing Saint Venerable with an irresistible force.

Afterward, Xixi said she wanted to stay at a hotel in Shuangji and didn't want to live in the dormitory, so I had to accompany her to Shuangji.

Harris seemed to notice something unusual in Xu Feng’s eyes, assuming it was just excitement over his role as a scout, completely unaware of what a monstrous talent the team he served would sign two years later.

The Thunder Saint Venerable directly ignored the Flame Saint Venerable, preoccupied with listening to the audio content from the transmission talisman.

At that moment, Immortality could not ignore the violent spiritual energy to see Zhang Ling’s figure, but before the violent explosion of spiritual energy, he saw a figure torn apart through the protective shield—that figure was none other than Zhang Ling.

Just a moment ago, Zhang Xu had wanted to wrestle with the giant fish, but Furong suddenly intervened, casting a spell to stun it.

Three days had just passed, and before Yun Ji could even get some sleep, Old Wang, Liu Ye, and the others ran in happily to report the income and expenses of the past three days.

Equipped with combat mechs, energy shields for their aircraft, and an electromagnetic energy shield generator placed within—such triple-layered protection was the preparation Hao Yu and his team had made to face the nights of this mystic realm; they were truly armed to the teeth.

"They should have arrived at the military camp by now. If there were no accidents, he should be inspecting the soldiers' situation. But it seems the Emperor has never cared about the army; what could his visit mean?" Zhu Sheng Gou Yang replied.

Qin Luyan smiled in response and began to survey the surroundings. The dozen or so people on top of the altar all possessed formidable cultivation, and it seemed every one of them was qualified to trade blows with her.

When the rebel soldiers saw their leader had been captured, most laid down their weapons and decided to surrender. A few, however, rushed forward desperately to save their leader, only to be shot down by arrows.
