Volume One, Chapter 74: An Unexpected Turn

After Li Tianqing and Heba Xu presented their identities to the squad of soldiers, the group hurriedly allowed them passage, and Li Tianqing and Heba Xu led their people into the city.

“This Nine-Coiled Dragon Seal is truly a hot potato. In a moment of grave danger, I might have no choice but to abandon it. With so many treasures in my possession, I’m not particularly attached to this one,” Wang Xian resolved inwardly, following the elders of the demon sect as they swept into the next layer of space.

Before channeling their true energy, they could only perceive the primordial spirit level of those cultivators whose realms were lower than their own. When the two suddenly erupted with such formidable power, the three adversaries turned pale on the spot.

These Mongol horsemen were far superior to Zhang Long’s men in mounted archery. Even at the city’s base, galloping at full speed, they could still strike their targets on the battlements with deadly precision.

“Damn it, what kind of place is this? How can it be so twisted? Am I doomed to be trapped here for the rest of my life?” Lin Sheng sat cross-legged on the ground, trying to restore his vital energy as he brooded.

Inside the grand hall, apart from Ouyang De and Ouyang Hua, the other four cultivators all wore expressions of utter delight.

Lin Sheng felt his scalp tingle, a chill creeping over his entire body, a cold sweat breaking out along his spine. Shock mingled with dread in his heart.

The Peony Fairy danced with exquisite grace, her movements swaying rhythmically to the music and drums. She stepped elegantly, as if strolling through a forest, then suddenly leapt into the air, spinning mid-flight. At times gentle as flowing water, at others fierce as the wind, her dance was truly like a dragon frolicking in the waves or a golden phoenix soaring.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Xian was inwardly pleased. He immediately gave Han Yu the spirit armor from the Zhan family. With this, Han Yu, having reached the Spirit-Nurturing Realm, could use the armor to elevate her cultivation to the Fate-Calculating Realm. She and Xiyu could then enter the Land of Immortal Burial together and watch each other’s backs.

Each time Tang Hao succumbed to demonic transformation, the side effects were excruciatingly painful. Who knew what would happen this time...

When all the shells had been expended, Jiang Feng simply abandoned the howitzer formation atop the peak, gathering all his forces into the Longqiang arrow formation to fill the gaps left by earlier losses.

Perhaps his heart was still not cold and ruthless enough—otherwise, why would he have done all that he did today?

Everyone scrambled to flee, and when someone saw Li Cuihua still sitting and crying, they yanked her by the hair and dragged her along with the others.

She reported the normal price to Master He, then bought in at a reduced rate. The difference was Madam Xu’s personal gain.

Facing Jiang Yaoming’s scrutiny, Jun Jingchen stood calmly, his expression indifferent, no different from usual.

Because of Chen Qian’s divine sense sweeping the area, the entire P City took on a more sinister air; it was like a wolf lurking in the shadows, not a breath to be heard.

A Mu dared not retort, only muttering to himself: Four years ago, he’d warned that catching the Orange Spirit was impossible. Did anyone listen? And now they blame him—what good does that do?

Apart from earning money, more importantly, she needed an excuse to “accidentally” encounter Wang Xinxin at the Wang family’s residence, to gauge her combat strength firsthand. If that girl turned out to be stronger, wouldn’t she be the one getting beaten?

It wasn’t because he was unable to fly or was exhausted; rather, he had spotted a deep volcanic crater nearby. He believed it could swallow the Crimson Flame Behemoth whole, and wanted to use the power of the lava to consume the beast.

Moreover, your spiritual energy is still quite high. Back then, because the Palace of Spiritual Treasures lacked two guardian disciples, you two were chosen. Now that Su Hao has returned to the Spirit Enigma Realm, he faces many challenges ahead, so it is your turn to aid Su Hao.
