Volume 1, Chapter 31: Spend When You Must

Although he had long since made up his mind that regardless of the assessment results, he would venture out into the world to seek his fortune.

"Take it back!" Tie Junyi, hearing this talk of destiny, tossed the dagger directly to Xue Qingcheng, suddenly feeling that this was becoming troublesome. "I will retrieve it myself; I don't need you to return it!" Xue Qingcheng said expressionlessly, tossing the dagger right back at him.

As for those twelve Candle Dragon fighters, they patrolled at an altitude of 25,000 meters like monarchs, utilizing ultra-high-power radar to provide supplementary early warning for the fighter jets below.

"Is the beautiful proprietress in? Brother Pao has arrived to grace you with his presence!" a youth with a hoodlum air shouted toward the flower shop.

All the toxins within him were now suppressed, and with the heat poison gone, Yan Ye felt physically relieved. Having just suffered injuries after a two-on-one battle, Mo Yun was definitely no match for him now.

At this moment, he was also unleashing his full power; every strike possessed the strength to easily annihilate a High God, and the defensive capabilities of the [Chaos-Extinguishing Demon Lotus] were also exceptionally formidable.

On this day, a vast, drizzling rain drifted through the sky, and the white mist blanketed the entire forest, making it impossible to distinguish north from south.

"Time can dilute everything. I do not deny what I did in the past, but as long as you agree to one request of mine, then I can consider doing whatever you ask," Ilde said calmly.

Even so, Chen Yufeng was still very curious about what had happened back then; he should have pressed his parents for the truth when he was in Shanghai.

The Soul Gathering Technique is considered the most overbearing of the evil arts and is a branch of orthodox Maoshan Taoism. It was originally used to summon souls and gather spirits to provide deliverance for the deceased. However, if the souls are gathered and kept for one's own use rather than dispersed, once the gathered yin spirits reach a certain level, one gains the ability to summon yin deities.

"Many thanks, Your Majesty." The Empress let out a deep sigh of relief, finally finding a reason for Leng Qianqian to leave.

In an instant, the bodies of those twice-dead demon envoys all crumbled to pieces at the sound, and then, caught by the wind, they were blown away into drifts of wood shavings.

"What?" Chu Jiuchen furrowed his brows, momentarily unable to comprehend Xu Miao's words.

"You call this love? This is illegal imprisonment!" The Giant Bear said indignantly, but his lack of physical strength significantly diminished his imposing manner.

"No!" Hei Sha replied coldly, his gaze dull, sweeping over the approaching sword cultivators without a shred of emotion.

Watching the plague-stricken humans part like a tide, I finally experienced the same sense of shock that they must have felt when they first saw us. Of course, compared to the plague-stricken, the mountain-like Gejia were clearly more awe-inspiring.

The only son of an ancient martial arts family, having suffered a deviation while practicing ancestral techniques, finds his soul transmigrated into the body of a bullied concubine-born son of a Marquis, relying on his fists to defend his dignity.

"I can wait for you to get off work. I'll go to your company building early tomorrow afternoon to wait for you," Ding Lei said, fawningly.

"This!" Lu Zifan was horrified, leaping steadily backward to dodge the strike, his sweat pouring like rain, sliding continuously down his face.

"I didn't hear you clearly. Why are you so ignorant of the rules? Do you want someone to teach you some manners?" Shu Yuan was intentionally making things difficult for the Yun woman. Because if she didn't bring the Yun woman to heel, she would only ruin her plans.

"I saw Zhang Xiu go back to find Li Jue for reinforcements, but I let him go; I just want to see if Li Jue is savvy enough," Liu Feng said, weary after all the tossing and turning, and plopped down.

"Alright, it's decided then. Move out," the Silver-Haired Venerable commanded. His strength was the greatest here; he had originally only had some connection to the Heavenly Demons, but after hearing about this matter, he had insisted on coming himself. He also had an entangled grudge with the Heaven Alliance, and this was the perfect opportunity to seek revenge.

Dapeng was secretly shocked. That the other party could spot him peeping in a place that blocked spiritual sense meant this person was clearly terrifying to the extreme. Now that it had come to this, it was truly a dilemma of whether to stay or go.

Or perhaps, the power in my hands has become so great that I no longer view others as human? I don't seem to have been like this before.

"Well then, let me say it formally." Zhang Shaoyu seemed to turn serious all of a sudden, which greatly surprised Yang Tingyao. Just as Zhang Shaoyu was about to speak the three words that every lover longs to hear, Yang Tingyao suddenly covered his mouth.

Dad was just like that, fond of pranks—pranking others, pranking life, and pranking his own destiny as well.

A smile blossomed on Li Dan's face, and she shifted her body, seeming somewhat happy. No one spoke in the car, and the atmosphere was a bit stifling. Seeing this, Dongguan Zai turned on the radio, intending to listen to some music.

Li Song was naturally suspicious and a pessimist, so what he said was all imagined by himself, basically lacking any actual investigation. Yet, the air of sorrow in his words made people's hearts grow cold. Song Li could not help but calm down; if what Li Song said were true, then the situation would be dire, but what could be done about it now?

The Golden Hairpin Daoist praised him again, and the two old Daoists, Silver and Copper, followed their eldest brother in flattering Dapeng. However, the quality of their flattery was far inferior to that of the Golden Hairpin Daoist.

After speaking this sentence, it was as if he had exhausted the strength of his entire life, and he finally collapsed powerlessly to the ground, taking one breath but unable to draw the next. The house soldier who had been supporting him had already lost control of his bodily functions, leaving a stench on the ground.

Cui'er leaned in close to sniff Liu Xu. Noticing this, Liu Xu quickly stepped several paces away from her, her expression somewhat nervous. "Sister, you should hurry and go check elsewhere," Liu Xu urged.

The entire village originally had over 100 households, but at this moment, the wildly growing weeds and the wild dogs darting through them all indicated that this village had been abandoned for a long time.

"What is my lady thinking about?" Su Liu Yun, seeing Shen Qingshu staring blankly after she had just sneezed, reached out and waved his hand in front of her.

Therefore, such a precious place naturally had no shortage of guards. There were over a thousand guards at the Martial Spirit Realm alone, and there were many more hidden guards at the King Realm.
