Chapter 144: Entering the Mountains

Liu Feng looked at Lin Long and asked, "Brother Lin, it is already broad daylight now. Can we go in?"
Lin Long pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Liu, let's wait until the sun is high in the sky before we enter. Let's take this time to eat something and regain our strength first."
"Alright! Let's grab a bite first." Liu Feng took some food out of his storage pouch and began to eat.
Lin Long also sat down, eating while keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings of the Heavenly Dome Mountain.
"Ha! We've finally reached the Heavenly Dome Mountain."
"By going in this time, I will surely attain great fortune within."
"It's better to be a bit more cautious."

Perhaps life had been too leisurely and pleasant; Suixi had even forgotten about returning to the Guan family. However, she had not forgotten to ask her eldest uncle about the whereabouts of her second senior brother. Wuhui was currently staying at the Lianqing Taoist Temple in Wuli City. Because the temple had a major event taking place these days, several Taoist priests had been invited from the Lay Buddhist Grove to help out.

Feng Qizhou, however, grabbed Mother Sun by the collar and dragged her off the ground, the force on her neck nearly choking the life out of her.

"Am I not even allowed to complain a little?" Consort De lay flat on her back, completely devoid of decorum. Although she was angry and depressed, she had indeed lived a very fulfilling day; she was still alive.

Emperor Kangxi did not permit anyone to disobey his orders, and at least the Nian woman before him lacked the capital to defy him.

Although Shuyao had once mumbled vaguely that Kangxi would not appoint an empress, the palace had recently been in an uproar over the selection. No matter how Consort De calculated it, her turn would never come. Since neither of her two sons was contending for the throne, how could she ever become an empress? If there were any rumors, she would at least want to get on the good side of the future empress in advance.

"Yes." Recalling the scene back then, Lin Mingyue still could not help but wear an involuntary smile at the corner of her lips.

Although Liao Chuxing had said nothing today, and on the surface even appeared more modest and deferential than ever without the slightest trace of rebellious intent, Chen An always felt that the matter would not be as simple as it looked.

Seeing the grievance welling up in her eyes, Lee Yi-jung seemed to smile faintly, making no move to comfort her.

Upon discovering that Feng Yan was colluding with Xiao Minyuan, and after learning that Feng Yan was the mastermind behind the incident involving Wang Yurong, the people of the Heavenly Wind Hall set their sights on Feng Yan, and Feng Qiao also obtained a great deal of news regarding the close ties between Feng Yan and Xiao Minyuan.

"Because I don't know how." Madam Song's reason was simply too straightforward—it was just because she didn't know how.

Lou Yi asked him about how he came to join the Nangong Clan. Regarding this, Gao Dali seemed rather reluctant to bring it up, only mentioning that he had not found the person he was meant to duel. Moreover, Lou Yi noticed that Gao Dali seemed to have difficulty speaking, constantly wearing a hesitant expression.

However, it was still utterly useless. After all, the efficacy of the peach blossom birthmark was limited and simply insufficient to counteract the savage lightning attack.

"What did you say?" The Dragon-Taming Arhat was stunned for a moment, anxiety suddenly surging in the depths of his eyes as he asked again.

"You're still laughing? Do you know how worried I was about you?" Qin Shuang finally could not hold back, and tears began to fall.

Just as I was about to touch the coffin, a roar like a muffled thunderclap suddenly exploded behind me.

After all, an obedient ghost was much more useful than a disobedient one, especially one that deliberately acted against you. This was precisely why many of the more vicious families practiced this kind of sorcery.

"Stop playing dumb. Don't you know in your heart why I called you here?" Zhang Kexin rolled her eyes with annoyance.

As the monkey made a mighty effort to snap that samurai sword in two, the tall ronin felt grossly insulted, raised his palm, and struck toward the monkey's chest.

With a wicked smile curving the corner of his lips, the Dragon Emperor spoke one word at a time. His deep voice was somewhat hoarse, and with every single word he uttered, a faint, wild dragon's roar resonated within it.

Whenever she thought of the box containing the Heshibu—the finest piece of jade in the entire world—and the prospect of witnessing its glorious sight very soon, the stirred expression of excitement revealed within her was self-evident.

Gushes of wine poured heavily into Jiang Zhengxin's nose and mouth, and the intense sensation of suffocation caused her to abruptly snap her eyes open, coughing uncontrollably.
