A cross-tier challenge still has to have the right target. These were among the most rogue and terrifying young adepts in the Blue-Sky Universe Nation—almost every one of them could surpass and even kill an ordinary master of the Ten-Thousand-Treasure Realm. Xintian admitted to himself he did not yet have that level of strength.
Qi-restoring herbs for breath cultivation can only be ground into powder and taken with water without roots. That “rootless water” is simply rainwater, and because rainwater does not absorb the yin current of the ley lines, it can catalyze medicinal power.
At midday they reached the third area. The scene before him made him gasp. The mountain peak marked in red on the deer-skin map was in ruins: most of the trees were toppled and broken, some even torn from their ground. No bodies were visible, yet great pools of blood could be seen everywhere on the snow.
Nanfeng nodded. Buddha-Light Temple was divided into two zones: one was the monks’ quarters at the mountain’s foot, the other the Buddha-Glow Zen Court halfway up the slope, where the relic tower was housed and where the highest monks practiced in seclusion. A transient monk like Fatty had no chance to go there.
Yet both were young men, brimming with qi and blood, just after waking at dawn, and seated uncomfortably close to each other, so the usual courtesy of keeping distance—like well water not muddling the river—was broken in a breath as the silence thickened.
He surged past Mao Zhichao in one stretch. Dongzi did not dare even to turn his head, and there was no movement from behind him.
After Lin Yong had gone blind, Lin Tiance slipped back into his thoughts and restored Lin Yong’s reason. He felt a searing, drilling pain in both eyes, and it seemed all his blood had frozen, refusing to pass toward his heart. He could neither live nor die; each time he began to black out, the pain woke him. He could only breathe by a fraction.
“We once made a promise,” Fendai said softly, her tone cold. “I never told you, and I have long tolerated things in that promise that did not belong there. Today I must tell you again.”
“Bah. You dull-witted lumber, old lady takes a liking to you and still you call it a misfortune? Good for you.” Qin Ouzhen snapped and turned to go upstairs.
But they were facing not only the Anglor tribe and its allies, but also the East Saxons, who even called themselves allies.
He could tell Li Mengyu had used some secret method, but it was clear he could not hold out much longer.
With Bai Chuanyou’s temperament, he actually wanted to use this chance to meet Mingmei Gongye and establish some connection.
With excellent hearing, Bar had already heard the dense footsteps coming from that side. A red gleam flashed in his eyes; he again unleashed his all-perceiving color aura and immediately found out who was arriving.

“Pah! Jian Wuying, that wayward blade-bringer. You can raise the sword, but not bring it down. If I do not die today, one day I will exterminate your whole Jian household.”
Only after the elders A Nuo and Jiaye had each taken the precious, strange gifts presented by the Immortals of the Heavenly Court did the Buddha of Compassion and emptiness of the five aggregates nod again, showing once more a smile of universal deliverance.
“Hmph. You made us feign death, and yet you do business with King Youxian…” Lin Feng still burned with rage.
From Navy Headquarters to the East Sea, even with Huangyuan’s terrifying physical prowess, he must be somewhat worn out by now.
Before the Cold King’s residence, the sedan-palanquin lowered softly. A pale hand slowly lifted the curtain. The one inside wore white robes; black hair fell like a waterfall, brows arched like crescent moons. Her whole figure seemed as if her bones were jade, her skin ice and snow, her posture like autumn water.
After some procedures, her former appearance had been restored only with difficulty. Ruo Yan had not chosen to flee. Instead he knelt before Luo Ansheng and begged forgiveness.
“Sun Yijian, Sun Jian-nan, Shi Guang—and that middle-aged man with the walrus mustache—you wait. This time I have come for revenge.”
“Calling me ‘old woman’ every other word—how are you going to marry after that?” Even in rest time, Fenghun did not miss a chance to taunt Xinyuer.
Iman did not bother speaking to Chengxian and ate on his own. He had no idea Chengxian would then lift his own bowl and begin to eat, saying it was good.
Qian Pengju laughed. “This was arranged for my father—a bit of harmless cultivation in manners. I could not imagine that Young Master Xiao would see through my background at a glance.” Xiao Qingchen had opened Qian Pengju’s Ren and Du channels. Of course, Qian Pengju was grateful, and his words held deep respect.
Tong Xiyan let out a relieved breath, but as soon as she remembered what he had said, her cheeks burned red as apples.
“He doesn’t know, does he? By the time he finds out, he’ll probably already have gone to hell,” Dongfang Qi said evenly, no emotion in her voice. If Consort Ruo’s death still stirred him at all, the Emperor would stir no pity in him. Is that what it means to be blood of the imperial house?
After making it clear he would not actively study Tianmo and the others, Tianmo’s eyes returned to normal. If the Creator still insisted on his idea, Tianmo would have to deal with the trouble himself. He would not care who stood against him; even if it were the leader of the mechanical race, Tianmo would not spare him.

Mu Anran, though she had agreed to help her, fired the cook on her first day after moving to the side residence. After that, all the meals were cooked in rotation by the few of them. Since Mo Lin was injured, and since he had set his sights on Lan Ling’er’s cooking, he naturally refused to leave under any circumstances.
Bi Yuntao said uncertainly, “If a invasive virus is discovered, one can take the proper measures and eliminate its source completely. How could it be that we cannot find it?”
“We won’t talk about them. You should be from the Holy Heaven Alliance Nation, right?” Jake changed the topic.
“The pill truly has miraculous effect. I hope it succeeds,” Yang Xiao said, pressing his lips. Yang Tian’s physique is very powerful; his body should be able to endure this medicinal force.
“The place we stay is quite good, only everyone seems better than I am,” Karl said with a sour face.
The boy nodded. Liu Bo untied the band of cloth. The boy’s large eyes opened at once, brimming with curiosity as he stared at the crescent moon in the sky.
The citizens lining both sides of the street broke into applause. The whole thing took only seconds, yet it left Yin Dayin and the others dizzy for more than ten seconds before they came to themselves.
No one knew that the mute points in both of those middle-aged women had already been pinned shut. Li Shun had used the remote-point “mute-point” technique that Chen Feng had just taught him moments before.
People are always like this: whatever station they occupy, they care about the work environment not only out of concern, but with attachment and feeling.
