Chapter 34

Seeing that the Empress was already waiting behind the screen, ready to meet Qin Fengwan at the first opportune moment, how could anyone dare to offer a dissenting opinion?

With the monsters charging forward in such a mindless, disorganized, and strategy-less manner, even if they came in greater numbers, Kunpeng City would remain perfectly safe... or so one would hope.

Qin Chaojiu took her seat under the guidance of the servants, and at that moment, her aunt brought out the gifts prepared for her and Qin Jingxi.

He had possessed this blade for quite some time. He had used it for self-preservation, for revenge, for slaughter, and for fleeing, yet he had never seen it manifest in such a state before.

"My lord, these people are wanted criminals. I wonder what the bounty might be?" the man in the conical hat suddenly asked.

Watching Qin Guanming force a smile, Qin Jingxi intentionally spoke in a coquettish tone.

"I know; I was the one who had him send it out," Qin Fengwan replied, before pulling Qin Susu into the carriage.

Li Lingjia thought to herself: although dancing is not my strong suit, it cannot be that exaggerated. When I danced in front of the mirror, I felt I looked quite good.

His mental resilience had never been particularly strong. Compared to those who reached their peak the moment they debuted, Liu Qingsong felt he needed a slower pace to adapt.

"Senior Sister Duanmu, Senior Brother Luo, you go first!" the martial artist at the front of the line said with a touch of embarrassment.

At the gates of Heavenly Dragon City, Liao Yong and the others watched with confusion and concern as Luo Chen and Lin Weiwei followed the realm bandits away.

The name "Baili Dengfeng" spread across the entire Xuanyun City in an instant. It was not just among the sects below the fourth rank; even some fifth-rank sects in the city were shocked to hear that the administrator, Mo Kezheng, had openly favored him, even going so far as to offend the Qingcheng Sect, which had backing from the Xuanwu Academy.

Regardless of the circumstances, possessing a demi-artifact was an extraordinary feat. Even top-tier geniuses like Leng Shuimo, Meng Yubing, and Xiao Changge did not possess one.

It was only four characters, yet they shone like boundless light, dispersing the darkness, illuminating the heavens and earth, and tearing an invisible rift into the shackles that had held firm for eons.

Before this, Baili Dengfeng had heard A-Zi say that the demon race was divided into Heavenly Demons and Earthly Demons. Heavenly Demons were ancient species born from the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, possessing noble bloodlines. Even if one stood there without releasing any aura, one could still feel the powerful pressure from within their body.

Luo Chen had always believed that there was something strange about that plain, but at the time, because others were present, it was inconvenient for him to hand over Yan Ziying and the others, so he had not investigated thoroughly.

"But... this dress is too noble, and the number of zeros makes me dizzy." She lowered her head, not daring to touch the garment. Everything here was far too expensive; she could never afford it. Besides, Qin Ming was just a student—where would he get so much money?

Xie Xu’s face changed drastically. Ignoring his injuries, he desperately channeled his true energy, attempting to stabilize the suddenly violent medicinal power.

Li Wanqing was dressed in casual clothes today. Her jet-black hair had natural waves and curves as it fell, leaving one to imagine the sensation of running one’s fingers through those strands.

"Ah~" Qingning sighed in relief as she plugged the water bucket back into the dispenser. She stood there blankly, her lips wet with water.

That night, whenever Xu Nianhua closed her eyes, she remembered the night she rejected Amos. Pei Yicheng’s unfinished words and his deep, affectionate eyes seemed branded onto her mind, surfacing again and again.

It seemed that only her connection to the storage artifact had been severed, with no other aspects affected. For Su Ye, the storage artifact was merely a facade; his valuable items were all kept within the system space.

After dinner, Xu Duo helped Mother Jiang clear the dishes, and the two chatted quietly in the kitchen.

The training was monotonous; each minute was merely a dull, numb repetition of the last, with no essential difference between them.

Xu Nianhua took a deep breath. She was not nervous at all; it was just that, as this was her first time meeting an inspection delegation in her capacity as an interpreter, she naturally wanted to do a better job.

"No, no, it was my terrible idea, all mine." Zhou Yinyin quickly offered a stiff smile. After all, Lu Yao was the brain of their Gossip Association; she dared not offend her.

Ji Ying glared at him, but she had to admit that Nian An was right. Regardless of anything else, whether to acknowledge it or not was entirely up to Xu Nianhua.

At dawn, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, Xu Qinghe’s family began to move. The neighbors from the furniture factory and the village had all come over early to help.

Jing Xin gave Bai Jiyuan a knowing look, yet showed no intention of evading or concealing anything, and immediately recounted the entire sequence of events.

Even so, Will was knocked back many steps, crashing into a wall and creating a large crater.

"Bastard!" Gale was furious. However, his reason told him that Wang Biao must have some conspiracy in mind, which caused him to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Fine!" Chen Mengying agreed helplessly. After all, she was not an expert in this; pretending to be one would only cause unnecessary trouble. She did not want to be accused of murder.

Gu Xiaobei watched厉Haonan's retreating figure, her body going limp as she collapsed onto the sofa, tears streaming down her face.

"You are clearly taking advantage of me!" Wen Xin’s face turned red. In truth, she felt quite shy; after all, they had only just established their relationship as lovers, so Lin Xifan’s intimate gestures made her feel a bit unaccustomed.

However, after hearing the words of the First Chief and seeing that figure on the satellite video, they suddenly realized that this might very well be true. Could it be that such a massive and terrifying force was hidden in this world? Could humans really possess the power to move mountains and drain seas, or even achieve infinite life?

"By the way, as for those treasures of hope, you won't get a single one!" Finally, the demonically strange man sneered before instantly vanishing.

"Hehe, interesting. The Fallen Angel clan and the Angel clan have actually become allies. If that old fellow, the God of Light Bright, were still alive, his expression would surely be quite spectacular," the Dark God King said with a laugh.

"The one who kills?" Zhen Yiming stared blankly at He Xueling, completely failing to understand what she meant by that sentence.

The people imprisoned in these cells were the majority of those who had attended the Hundred Flowers Ceremony, including Bi He. As long as they had been in the Hundred Flowers Valley that day, none had escaped, except for those who were killed.
