Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Peach Blossom Immortal and the Immortal’s Gift (Please Support with Votes!)

“Ha ha! Who says a lay devotee can’t smoke? Not only do I smoke, I also drink. I have no taboos at all. Let me tell you, since I’ve been here, I’ve never once offered incense to the Buddha.”

With a powerful beat of his violet wings, the warrior giant soared into the sky. Spreading his wings wide once more, he swiftly covered several hundred meters in an instant.

“Alright then, I will definitely deliver this to General Ye. Meanwhile, you can rest easy and watch us sweep through ten major regions!” Gao Jian said with a smile.

Seeing everyone’s mood, Bai Xue didn’t hold back either. She grabbed the menu and decisively ordered over a dozen dishes before handing it to Wang Qiong.

Shaking his head, Zhao Dingguo turned his attention back to examining another, even more valuable artifact.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Miss Liao came to bid me farewell, so I...” Even the thick-skinned Zhong Nan felt his cheeks flush slightly.

Who exactly was the God of Grief that so many formidable figures were willingly guarding the city for him?

“Is that so...” the young Sasuke murmured, releasing his grip. The older woman shot him a fierce glare and slammed the door shut with force.

Simen Chuifeng was lost in endless fantasies, and when a subordinate interrupted his thoughts, he was furious. Without caring about the reason, he strode forward and kicked him hard.

“Get lost...” Jun Yao blushed as she stared at this shameless man. Seeing him shamelessly grin and leave the living room, she couldn’t help but laugh in spite of her anger.

Fang Bai frowned, summoning a wisp of spatial energy from the inner space to wrap around his hand, then made a chopping motion with his palm, striking the fat man’s chest.

Zhu Xinyue was about to close the door to verify something on the spot but stopped halfway when she saw Shi Er’er still standing inside. Suddenly remembering something, she hurriedly pulled Shi Er’er out before shutting the door.

This matter was best for Lu Yu, who suffered little loss. Using various means, he successfully persuaded Prefect Chu Gong to drop the investigation.

Qingming Longevity Pill: a sixth-grade elixir capable of extending one’s life by nearly ten years; only one pill may be taken in a lifetime.

Before Kai Ming finished speaking, Fang Bai felt a massive surge of earth-elemental energy gathering within the giant skeleton’s body, erupting violently the next moment. Only then did Fang Bai catch Kai Ming’s words clearly.

Only now did he realize that Toru Amuro despised Ting, with Shuichi Akai being the foremost target. The others were merely collateral.

His black hair with reddish highlights flickered like flames as he moved, the graceful lines of his body vividly displaying both strength and agility.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and formed strange hand seals before him. His chest rose and fell lightly, forming a perfect cycle with each breath.

The front car door seemed to open, and people got out. Then the rear door was pulled open, and accompanied by curses, they were dragged roughly out of the vehicle.

“Well... do you know why I came to Datong?” Yang Zhen did not rush to answer but instead posed this question in return.

Naturally, Shangguan Yunyao would not intervene and accepted Lu Xueyao’s punishment. As long as Lu Xueyao was satisfied, a bit of physical pain was nothing.

Whether or not it was Zuo Qiu Chen’s plan to retaliate against surrounding Taoists, Daochu Zhenren smiled knowingly and agreed. Although he knew a fierce battle awaited in two months.

But at this moment, the purple-robed sorcerer’s former confidence and arrogance faltered. An immortal warrior was slaughtered before him with ease, the shock so great it made his eyes see stars.

After speaking, Zuo Qiu Fubai coughed up a mouthful of blood. Seeing his condition, Daochu Zhenren immediately stepped forward, grasped his hand, and infused him with the power of the Daochu Shishi Gui Tian Zhang.

He unleashed a series of Yin-Yang Great Arts, chilling and terrifying the world with murderous intent. He tried to force Yuan Hong to use that sacred technique again, but it was impossible.

Yet there was nothing to be done. Even with others’ help, breaking through was unlikely. Yuan Yu Ren sighed deeply, feeling regretful, then departed.

Shangguan Yunyao spoke calmly, “No matter which young master he is, he has nothing to do with me.”

Regarding this outcome, Zhang Juzheng made two judgments: first, Xiao Jing was cautious and feared retaliation if he offended me, so he feigned taking the water route but actually returned to Jiangling; second, he was captured by others after leaving the city.

“Om Mani Padme Hum...” As the six-syllable mantra of Tathagata echoed, a thunderous roar split the sky. A towering mountain peak crashed down, pressing against the Lord of the Underworld River. Upon closer inspection, the peak shimmered with five-colored light but was not made of soil or stone—it was a mere phantom.

At this announcement, several archaeologists and staff nearby were stunned. They hadn’t expected such a major discovery—to have found the entrance to an ancient tomb. But why would an ancient tomb be located by the river?

Next came Doctor Zhu. Everyone naturally assumed the high-ranking mysterious official husband of Shen Jiao was responsible. Then Tán Ruosi coveted the deputy dean position for a long time, only for it to be awarded to someone usually unnoticed, shocking everyone.

Sun Wukong nodded after hearing this. No wonder he couldn’t absorb the demonic energy in the air before—it had been blocked.

These few clearly came with ill intent. Otherwise, why avoid the main gate and choose this hidden path? If they weren’t after me, why be here at all?

“Why refuse? Whether or not we can take over this restaurant, I must have the pond. Once we move into the house, I’ll inquire further,” Jiang Xinyi remained determined.

“Why hasn’t Zheng Jieming returned yet?” Li Yuping was worried as dusk settled and the wind began to blow outside the window.
