Volume One, Chapter 55: She Discovered It

Clearly, the assistant’s words struck a chord with Zhou Qianqian. Her eyes, framed beneath delicate brows, brightened slightly as a sudden idea came to her...

Within Chang’an City, the county officials of Chang’an County, Wannian County, and over ten other counties outside the city, including Lantian and Xinfeng, all fell under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Prefecture. Such a serious security incident naturally placed great responsibility on Li Ze Xuan, the prefect of Jingzhao.

Li Ze Xuan never intended to bully others, but he wished to become strong—strong enough that no one would dare to oppress him.

Staring at the phone screen, Li Nanfang shook his head with a wry smile, not seeing any harm in standing her up.

Now, all cultivators across the Immortal Dynasty had learned about the imminent activation of the Ascension Formation. Countless cultivators planning to leave this realm for the Blood Sky Continent had already gathered here through the Blood Talisman Formation.

“I understand now,” Bruce exhaled a heavy breath from his chest. At last, the battle was about to begin.

However, lacking any means to divert attention, he suddenly became anxious, unsure where to place his hands.

Meanwhile, the grain treasure ship mentioned by Holdem had arrived at Boro Town under the protection of another formidable member of the Hundred Beasts Pirate Crew, Speed—the bearer of the SMILE Horse Fruit ability.

If Crocodile were to appear here now, he would likely be thoroughly beaten by these two giants.

Due to the stark regional divisions, during the imperial examination of the thirtieth year of the Hongwu era, an unusual phenomenon occurred: two separate rankings were published. The initial list of fifty-two successful candidates consisted entirely of southern scholars, causing the northern candidates, who had failed, to feel deeply wronged and riotously protest.

If a real conflict broke out, would anyone survive within the dozens of miles surrounding this area?

“Let’s discuss this in the room later. You’re wearing so little; you might catch a cold,” Yun Xuan said as he once again lifted Lin Jiayi and returned to their chamber.

On one hand, he was reluctant to break through his current level; on the other, he longed for the breakthrough. It was a deeply conflicted feeling, yet any improvement in cultivation was a cause for joy.

“Just a false heaven—be gone!” Di Se charged toward the swirling black mist known as the Emperor Heaven, wielding the Fire Moon Glazed Spear. The accusation of false heaven came from the spear itself. The Emperor Heaven was once a living being of this world but, after defying the ancestors and failing, had allied with this strange heavenly principle, which eventually transformed into the Emperor Heaven’s consciousness.

“I never expected such a young expert to appear in the mortal realm,” the figure said, his eyes fixed on Lin Yu with fear.

The arrow did not miss; it struck one of the giant spider’s legs. The wounded spider screamed in agony, its gaze upon Meng Qi turning even more ferocious. It twitched violently before crawling toward him once more.

“Hahaha, Mr. Qi, with such enthusiasm, I, Xiao, am more than happy to be your friend. Please, try this Hengshan tea from the Eastern Imperial Court—it is specially prepared for our honored guests,” Xiao Yiqian said as he handed over the tea.

The cave was small. After about ten minutes, Meng Qi had examined it thoroughly but found nothing unusual—just an ordinary cave.

Originally, an ancient coffin buried for many years would inevitably accumulate a large amount of corpse energy or miasma. This was an unchanging law of nature. Unless the coffin contained no remains—which was impossible—why else would this coffin have such an elaborate arrangement? Who would go to such great lengths to inter an empty coffin?

Above my head, the yellow earth fell like rain, thickly and continuously. Beneath my feet, the ground trembled as if an earthquake shook the very soles of my feet numb.

Though Yun Shu Ge, in her capacity, did not fear Zhou Tian, offending a direct superior was never wise. Reluctantly, she stepped outside.
