Volume 1, Chapter 46: Heavenly Demon Sect!

The next day, Qin Feng emerged from seclusion. After a night of relentless effort, he finally extracted the substance hidden within the stone—a jade-green material intimately linked to his own aura. He then fashioned it into two figurines.

Naturally, when officials’ achievements were being reviewed, comprehensive dossiers had to be compiled and subjected to the scrutiny of the Evaluation Institute; any falsification would be met with severe punishment.

The fractured earth beneath him seemed to lose all gravity, vast swathes lifting skyward under the surging energy.

A white glow shimmered along the blade of the white-bearded naginata. Ryder’s expression shifted abruptly as he dodged the strike, though the aftershock still sent him flying.

An invisible wave of spiritual energy quietly spread, unnoticed by the market vendors and middle-aged martial artists nearby.

Even before he sent Hassan to assassinate at Liudong Temple, he had realized the young white-haired man before him possessed a terrifying fighting prowess rivaling that of a heroic spirit. Yet, given the current situation, he had no choice but to give his all to eliminate him.

Had he discovered the flaw in Wu Yue’s footwork earlier, he might have stood a chance—or at least avoided such a humiliating defeat.

Jiang Hao flapped his twin wings and took flight, but Baelir recklessly charged after him without hesitation.

His Immortality Cultivation technique had reached a proficiency of over 470,000, and within two or three days, he could ascend to level sixteen.

Therefore, he decided there was no need to rush—a day’s pause before continuing to consume the Dragon Blood Crystals seemed prudent.

The others fell into fearful silence; none dared speak up at such a critical moment, lest they invite unnecessary trouble. They were no Cruse, lacking such significant value.

It was clear that Yaxiang Hospital truly lived up to its reputation as the premier medical institution across ten provinces and one city in central and southwest China, attracting a wealth of medical talent.

Shen Sisi casually sat on a nearby stone, rubbing her foot in complaint. Master Wang handed her a pot of water, saying, “Here, drink this.”

Otherwise, relying solely on himself, he truly could not hope to withstand the monstrous power of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

“Since you recognize your shortcomings, once your energy is restored, go and do what must be done,” Shen Wu said, then vanished in a flash of violet light.

The crowd erupted in cheers. They had not expected Wang Hao to be so decisive—before the calamity clouds even descended, he had already taken the initiative to undergo the thunder tempering.

Hearing such a blatant slap in the face, Sun Tan couldn’t help but flare with anger, thinking, “Damn it, if I didn’t steel myself to meet you, then what should I have done?”

At Feng Yan’s command, two black-clad men emerged from the gathering crowd, ready to seize the target.

“No, that’s not the point. Everyone says you have... a hidden illness,” Ha Hu finally finished speaking, exhaling deeply with relief. Lin Zhuo found him utterly exasperating.

They didn’t know of the relationship between themselves and Li Weigong, only that this was the supreme god of the Earth Kingdom. The chance to grow under his guidance was invaluable, so each of them fought with all their might.

It was as if Earth’s humanity had returned to the wild, surviving only through strength and ruthlessness.

Han Xue, with a cold expression, scolded Mark several times. Seeing no change and noting that her classmates and close friends around her were unbothered, she ceased paying attention to the troublemaker, letting him wreak havoc unchecked.

Aside from the butler, the captain of the guards held the highest authority. Yet what use was that? Those outside had connections far grander than their city lord’s; even if they had ten times their courage, they wouldn’t dare use force to expel them. So all they could do was watch helplessly from behind walls.

“First, I can write the letter, but the date for the hostage exchange must be postponed by three days,” Yun Ruoyan and Li Mo insisted, as the original plan was to exchange hostages the following day.
