Volume 1, Chapter 53: The Best Foreign Aid

Logically speaking, the Chou hour had already arrived, and the Marquis's estate should have launched their assault on the mountain by now. Why was there still no movement whatsoever?

It was precisely at the moment when the Supreme God returned to the material astral realm that the magnificent gate of light in the world of despair abruptly appeared.

At that, a trace of a smile—the very first since entering this place—finally appeared on Jiang Han's face.

Luo Gang shook his head. "I am not talking about that kind of unreasonableness. It is understandable that Young Master Lü and Young Master Tian are hot-blooded and impetuous, but both your revered elder and our Elder Tian are still alive. What great storms and waves have they not witnessed? Important as the two families' heads may be, staking their entire family fortunes all at once—do you not think that is far too reckless?"

"Get lost!" The old man continued hammering the iron without turning his head, his voice booming like a bell, causing Ye Yang's soul to shudder.

Yet the battle suddenly changed. No matter what combination of attributes and martial techniques Wang Duan unleashed, Jiang Xie merely coated his fingers with the Thunder Roar Cannon and shattered them all with ease.

Su Mu slowly picked up a piece of vegetable and said leisurely, "Where were we just now? Let's continue, pay us no mind."

This action caused everyone to instantly tense and ready themselves. Lin Yu began channeling his internal strength throughout his body, Su Mu placed one hand behind his back, and Chu Zifeng tightened the strap of the Nieyuan Spear slung across his chest.

"Ahem... Ladies and gentlemen, if you have no pressing matters, might you let me pass first? You can continue your discussion after I am through!" An embarrassed voice drifted over. Every single word spoken by these people entered Xie Tianen's ears, making him feel rather ashamed to raise his head.

Initially, Shan Fangyi indeed intended to discipline those members of the Shanyuan lineage. However, upon opening the door and seeing them densely kneeling in a massive crowd, motionless, she was suddenly overcome with a sense of listlessness and simply told Jiang Han to leave.

He felt his hand meet a fierce, resisting force. By the time he finally broke through it, the momentum was largely spent. The blade pierced only about two inches into the flesh before being firmly clamped by his arm muscles, unable to advance even an inch further.

As the summit concluded, Zishan, the head of the Triad, left the scene with a smile. After the irrelevant people departed, the syndicate bosses present no longer held any reservations, raising their glasses to celebrate together.

One summer vacation, upon returning home and living through a bizarre incident that changed my life, I discovered that I was special and could see things ordinary people could not.

Lu Ping sighed, drove the saber into the ground before Han Tao, sat down, and recounted how Niu Er had attempted to extort Yang Zhi's saber, resulting in Yang Zhi accidentally killing Niu Er.

On a day in early spring, a snowfall descended upon Bianjing City. Although it was not as heavy as the snow from the previous few days, it still brought considerable inconvenience to pedestrians on the roads.

Li Er's words were somewhat selfish. Believing that there had been no reports of smallpox epidemics anywhere, and seeing that Empress Zhangsun's chronic asthma was showing signs of relapse, Li Er continually delayed summoning Sun Simiao.

Upon returning to his viscount's estate, Wang Xingxin questioned the family guards left behind by Cheng Yaojin on that fateful night, then located his master bedroom and plunged headfirst into the silk-lined quilt that Qin Qiong and the others had prepared for him, refusing to make another sound.

If they could capture two or three large islands and relocate the arsenal there, the significance would be immensely profound.

This late-stage Essence-Concealing realm Confucian scholar possessed genuine strength, and was even formidable than Huang Cheng, the early-stage Essence-Concealing realm super genius.

A man and a dog were currently locked in a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering melee. The man fought frantically for mere survival, while the dog battled fiercely out of absolute loyalty. The most incredible combat imaginable was unfolding right here.

That black lump felt exceptionally heavy in the hand and emitted scorching heatwaves. Yuan Wei held his breath, unsure whether to throw it away or keep it. After hesitating for a long time, until the heat gradually dissipated, he wrapped it in multiple layers of green leaves and stowed it away in his Qiankun pouch.

Everyone in the room was stunned on the spot. Even Chen Xiong was taken aback, never expecting that the Young Master of the South China Sea would actually release Sect Leader Yang. Was this not akin to stretching out one's neck for someone to sever?

"Chasing Dream, forget it. If you two fall out because of me, what am I supposed to do? I might as well leave!" At that moment, Ling Yue immediately put on an indifferent tone and said.

The robust fellow made no further fuss. Seeing that everything was properly arranged, he turned and went to busy himself with carrying the loads for Tong Niuer.

Chenzi clutched his stomach; the sensation of being constricted by heavy iron chains was truly unpleasant. He spat out a glob of saliva, which landed on the iron chain with a lingering shudder of fear.

"Then what was your original intention? Descending into ancient tombs to investigate time and again, only to give up at the very last moment..." Before he could finish speaking, he had already taken long strides far ahead.

"There's no problem at all. However, the spiritual energy required to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage is truly vast. I might need to cultivate for another year before I can genuinely break through. Speaking of which, Brother Meng Qi is truly amazing. He used to be inferior to me, but now he's about to surpass me in a flash." Having said barely a few words, Hu Xian'er steered the conversation back to Meng Qi.

Hearing Meng Qi speak so abruptly, everyone was baffled, yet they immediately set off. Meanwhile, Meng Qi executed the Shadow Escape Art and quietly approached the solitary cultivator.

Tiptoeing lightly against the cliff face, his body soared several feet into the air, and with a push from his feet, he rose higher and higher. When Wang Huang had battled Imperial Preceptor Tongba that day, everyone present had witnessed him leap ten feet and then ascend another ten feet. Naturally, Ha Mo had also witnessed this from beneath the stage, and like Imperial Preceptor Tongba, everyone assumed he was executing the Wudang ultimate technique, "Cloud-Ladder Technique."

"May I ask who you are?" As Ji Qianchen uttered these words, her expression gradually returned to normal, and the place where she had been kicked no longer hurt as much.
