Chapter 64: Arrival of the Liang Envoys

It has been a long time since the Emperor last left the imperial palace, and even longer since anyone dared to playfully and carefree argue in front of him like this. Influenced by Gao Shiman and looking at the canopy full of vibrant red fruits, he felt exceptionally uplifted in spirit.

Casting his gaze outward, Shi Kai saw an altar-like high platform right in the center of this icy world. A continuous stream of freezing mist emanated from the platform, carrying immense energy within it. Although contained and not actively radiating, Shi Kai's spiritual awareness, hovering nearby, could deeply perceive its formidable presence.

Seeing the old man reduced to such a speechless and deflated state, Wang Dong felt all her lingering gloom instantly vanish, replaced by a bright and triumphant smile.

"What are your plans for the future? Are you returning to the Heavenly Corpse Clan or going somewhere else?" I asked softly.

Surprise was surprise, but clearly, this was not enough to make her look at him with new respect. She wanted to see just how long the Wang Dong opposite her could hold out, and accordingly unleashed the full momentum of her Spirit Heart Realm, pressing down relentlessly upon Wang Dong.

"However..." Yan Duo'er wanted to say, how could she possibly have any standing to lecture others? Her current status was hardly above board to begin with, and if she were truly to flaunt her power and prestige as Leng Dichen suggested... she feared she would only be reviled even more bitterly by others.

Hearing Su Mo's words, Ling Shaoxuan and the others exchanged glances. If she were to find out that Su Pai actually fancied her, what would she make of it?

"You've got a few tricks up your sleeve, but with just this little bit of skill, trying to defeat me is nothing more than wishful thinking!" Li Er glared fiercely at me and said.

Secondly, as long as Su Mei'er did not cross any major lines, Leng Dichen generally remained indifferent to her actions.

Anyone bold enough to spread rumors about the Emperor and Gao Shiman could not possibly be a leader among cowards; rather, they were the coward among leaders. Shen Lixing was certain that given Li Ling's temperament, and with himself currently away from the capital, Li Ling would definitely investigate the matter on Gao Shiman's behalf.

The Luozhi merely glared, and in an instant, two streams of fierce light shot from its eyes. As its mouth parted in a snarl, its facial features twisted and deformed, completely dropping its disguise to reveal a ferocious fox face. The old Third Master Hu trembled violently and staggered backward in fright, and had he not been promptly supported by Grand-Aunt Hu at his side, his legs surely would have gone weak and caused him to collapse to the ground.

Along the entire path, no towering architecture was to be seen. Occasionally, a pavilion stood quietly by the cliffside, a few wooden houses came into view, along with an apothecary garden and a patch of vegetable plots.

Taking advantage of the moment before the great gates fully closed, another squad of iron-clad ghost soldiers, armed with shields and arrayed in neat formation, charged out through the gap. The moment they stepped out of the Ghost Gate, they immediately shouted battle cries and formed a defensive array, surrounding Yang Si tightly on all sides.

This made Yun Qi, who had been silently guarding Jing Hong all this time, feel an intense sense of threat. Having finally endured until Jing Hong successfully passed her heavenly tribulation, Yun Qi immediately expressed to Jing Hong his desire to move out.

Hearing this, Lu Ming could not help but marvel at Wu Koke's explosive luck. A prestigious title that he and Luo Shuiqing had fought through life and death to attain, Wu Koke had managed to secure as if it were child's play. Operating in the same bizarre and perilous realm, the gap between their experiences was simply too vast.

At that moment, the sound of police sirens suddenly echoed from afar. Qin Ze frowned slightly, not expecting the police to arrive.

After safely exiting Dragon Tail Gorge, Jing Hong, Yun Qi, and Yun Feng returned together to the Eastern Azure Firmament.

Lan Ke was startled by his sudden remark and stared at him blankly, at a loss for words.

"Of course I accept Hanhan sincerely. If I didn't sincerely accept Hanhan, could I possibly have married her?" Ni Lehui patted her chest in assurance.

Rushing all the way back to the Eastern Azure Firmament, Jing Hong, accompanied by Yun Qi, went to see the Azure Magnificent Emperor.

Chu Xiangsi was naturally beautiful to begin with, and at this moment, a faint flush tinged her fair cheeks, making her look exceptionally alluring and enchanting—so much so that it made one... desperately wish to devour her whole.

Linglong immediately made to stand up as well, but Ling Siyan stopped her: "You just stay right here and sit comfortably. It's freezing outside and snowing too, so make sure you don't catch a chill."

Clearly, in her heart, she had already forgiven him, yet she simply found herself unable to act as though nothing had ever happened!

Nan Gong Zhuohua froze abruptly, the anger on his face stiffening instantly. In that single moment, he seemed to have been locked frozen in time.

Gu Lei tugged at my sleeve, and when I turned to look at her, she gave me a very strange and eerie look.

"Jian Dingning" was gripped so tightly by the throat by Ling Chi that breathing became agonizing, and in her desperation, she immediately bit down hard on Ling Chi's wrist.

The trust Zheng Changdong had worked so hard to win back plummeted instantly, leaving his supporters filled with a sense of betrayal and anger over being deceived.

Having finished all this, Jun Wuji lifted his head from Chu Xiangsi's neck, gazing intently at the marks he had left upon her skin.

Of course, the real reason Chen Zhengyi acted this way was that he had already caught sight of Xiao Yunfei's figure drawing closer, ready to launch a fierce and relentless assault on the enemy at any moment.

Feng Moyun said, "I hardly deserve such generosity. Although both of us are Divine Emperors, spending tens or hundreds of thousands is nothing much, but a fragment of Fire Source is immensely valuable nonetheless. Besides, since I consider you a friend, how could I possibly accept compensation from you?"

Shui Hanyen said, "You have lost ninety percent of your soul and are not in a condition to travel about. You had better stay here and cultivate in peace." Gui Yan said, "Although I would love to go along, in my current state I cannot be of much help anyway. I had better focus on recovering my soul first."

The Divine Rankings, unlike the Dark Rankings, had only ten seats. Anyone qualified to secure a place among them was a true top-tier master of this world.

"Everyone, how are the post-disaster cleanup and settlement operations coming along?" Xiao Yunfei asked calmly, taking the lead to speak.

Nearby, the expressions of the other faction leaders changed drastically. Once William died, their turn would undoubtedly be next.
