Volume One, Chapter 70: Enemy Attack!

Lu Chuan gazed at the Returning Goose Valley before him, quietly marveling in his heart:
This truly is an excellent place! Easy to defend, difficult to attack!
Moyang really did find the prince a perfect location!
Though several days had passed since their last departure, the things of the immortals were, of course, unlike those of the mortal world. Thus, all the fruits and fine wines set out for guests remained exactly as they had been days before, showing not the slightest trace of time’s passage.
Such arrangements brought a cold sweat to Ma Tou Niu and the others. In their eyes, such a massive airship, if detected by Gliese’s surveillance systems, would not easily escape. To perish before the journey even began would be a disgrace.
This ceremony was, in fact, neither here nor there for Zhang Tie, but since it happened to coincide with the day, he did not wish to appear out of place. He had no desire to sour the family atmosphere or make things awkward in front of outsiders. What was past could remain in the past; there was no need to cling to it any longer.
Blinding lightning erupted simultaneously from both Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin. Lan Jue pointed forward with his right hand, and a surge of powerful electricity exploded outward from his body.
Tang Xiao’s peculiar technique was indeed effective. Back then, even in his first encounter with that sly move, he had nearly been defeated.
Thus, even though those minute units had already transformed into space, into worlds, no matter how deeply one probed or studied, their essence remained as subtle and elusive as ever.
Understanding this, Luo Fan closed his eyes once more and devoted his flesh and blood body to even more diligent cultivation.
In the Earth Element Realm, the survival of every knight was subject to the fierce struggle and collision between the human and demon races; no one was exempt.
Such speculation could make even those of the Sanctuary shudder inwardly. For only they—or rather, some among them—could vaguely comprehend, or partially remember, what truly happened in those bygone years.
Qiao Hua found such thoughts rather laughable, yet given the current circumstances, there seemed little point in arguing further with the great dog.
As for Bai Yiqin’s remarks, Xiao Xiao was at a loss. Thus, he could only bite the bullet and begin his search.
A little over a month later, the exit to the trial grounds opened. Aside from the two demon prodigies, nearly everyone else made it out alive.
Taotie and Qiongqi—these were legendary beasts linked to the divine, and so golden blood flowed within them.
Sun Haoci felt the powder enter his body, but to prove his innocence, he refrained from using his powers to expel it, instead allowing the powder to circulate freely within him.
The Princess of Wuyang could hardly wait to test her skills against Wei Qingqing once more; thus, upon returning to the capital, she immediately sent her name card into the palace to seek an audience with Empress Dowager Xiaoduan.
“Su Yi, with the ironclad evidence before us and you caught red-handed, do you still wish to put on a charade?” Wei Qingqing said as she blocked another angle, joining Ming Ye and Consort Lan in surrounding Su Yi.
Though I had no idea what they were suddenly up to, the way they glanced about before entering made it clear to me that there was a good deal of play-acting today.
After all, there were no restrictions for this auction—anyone, regardless of cultivation, could attend. Besides, wasn’t Bixuan Island the very place where that fierce one had last held off three Nascent Soul cultivators single-handedly?
Upon hearing my answer, Lin Rou fell silent on the other end of the phone. I thought she doubted me, but after a moment’s pause, she suddenly exclaimed with delight.
