Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Spring Examination Results Announced

Shen Zhineng had originally expected that night to be followed by Pei Zhi's severe punishment, but she never imagined that he would truly do as he said and leave her alone.

Even when she deliberately pretended not to see him in the manor and withheld her greetings, the man would walk past her with complete indifference.

It was as if her existence had never been a part of the household at all.

The two of them thus spent a few more days in quiet peace.

When the Elder Madam Pei summoned her to the Hall of Fortune and Longevity once again, Shen Zhineng respectfully obeyed.

The surface of the basaltic monolith of the Heavenly Pillar was covered in moss, but at this moment, the moss, seaweed, coral, and shells were rapidly peeling away from the pillar. Even the black rock surface itself was shedding, gradually revealing the true appearance that had long been concealed.

Jiang Yao reached out and pointed, shooting forth a faint beam of light. With a crisp hiss, the paper crane plummeted from mid-air in response, its glowing aura dissipating as it vanished into the darkness.

"Before losing your memory, you told me that everything must be understood and remembered by yourself." Athanasius Ventrue's purple eyes appeared somewhat dim.

Seeing this, Gao Fei's subordinates widened their eyes, consumed by panic and dread. They truly had not expected Gao Fei to actually open fire on the special police, let alone be shot dead on the spot by them.

Seeing Shangguan Xiong thwarted, I still felt a slight sense of surprise. One had to know that Shangguan Xiong's abilities were frighteningly high; who could possibly possess the skill to humble such a fellow?

Yet, as expected, the life force still poured into the ground like water, and from the soil not far away, an even greater surge of life force emerged once more, causing countless patches of earth to begin coalescing into a monster once again.

"Could all of this be within calculation? Is it all the arrangement of fate? Could it be that my crossing of the cosmic wall to come here in search of the Blood Emperor was destined for this very day?"

At that moment, I finally understood why there were so many white silk threads; as it turned out, all these threads were spun by this spider.

Murakami Masaki was stunned for a moment, his flushed face gradually returning to normal. He hastily gathered his inner breath, bitterly resisting the demonic sounds.

Yet this time, facing that unimaginably massive BOSS, if Li Yalin failed to display his dominance in aerial combat, would that not be a terrible waste of heaven's gifts?

Huo Zizong had never touched her before, so naturally, she felt afraid. Her entire body trembled violently, but not daring to cry out, she bit her lips and lay stiffly there.

The strong rise of the Taixu Sect in Zhaoyao Commandery placed immense pressure on Qianyuan's fiefdom, but for the Kingdom of Qingqiu, this was an exceptionally golden opportunity.

Had no one entered? Could it be that she had dropped the medicine herself in her hasty departure earlier, causing it to roll into the warm pool?

"Shen Junchi... Am I dreaming..." Wen Xi's lips were deathly pale, and her bright eyes at this moment lacked all luster, devoid of any emotion whatsoever.

With that, the formation flag in Mu Bosang's hand emitted a beam of light that shot forward. A defensive barrier of a formation materialized within a radius of a hundred miles, and immediately afterward, an unfathomable and mysterious power suddenly descended and enveloped the area.

And the wings stored within this spatial ring turned out to belong to the ancestors of the Spirit Phoenix Clan, a beast tribe feared by all the major hegemonic powers of the continent.

After all, since Emperor Yongle had completely extinguished any thoughts of changing his heir due to the Prince of Han's recent actions, he naturally had to signal this to everyone. This would prevent many from remaining in the dark and continuing to plot the succession alongside the Prince of Han and the Prince of Zhao, thereby stirring up trouble for the imperial court and the royal family.

The slender figure appeared delicate yet resilient, unfettered and decisive, without a trace of hesitation, nor did she look back.

"Very well, I shall check the map to find our way." Lu Yanzhi took out a scroll of animal hide and unfurled it to examine.

Judging by Lan Mingxin's tone, Wang Jing figured she must have brought Lan Qingguo along. Thinking of his future father-in-law's penchant for demanding the full "Eight-Nation Alliance" treatment while in Hong Kong, Wang Jing could not help but smile.

To kill meant to exterminate the entire lineage, to slaughter until the enemy's courage failed them, until they trembled at the mere sound of your name and gave you a wide berth. Only thus could you better survive in the world of cultivation, and better protect the sect members, disciples, close relatives, and friends behind you.
