44 The Twentieth Person

Noah was in no rush; in this regard, he was indeed inferior to these senior students, but standing here, he still had some confidence, merely waiting for a chance to turn the tables.

Jiang Huaqing had a jade rabbit hanging from her waist and held two paintings in her arms, happily preparing to board the carriage.

The Ancient Sect's main altar was countless miles away from the Guiyi Peak of the Artifact Refining Convention, yet that secret art was able to monitor the happenings outside at all times.

"I'd love to as well, but my father won't allow it! A man like the Prince is so rare, capturing my heart at first sight and leaving an unforgettable impression for a lifetime. Alas, a parent's command cannot be disobeyed." Jiang Huaqing wore an expression of romantic torment and helplessness, which truly made one's heart itch with anxiety.

Chen Zaoshuang just knew that a few people wearing white coats would show up, bringing a heavily armored troop behind them to take him back for dissection and research.

Jiang Huaqing only needed to appear in the second half. She donned the general's battle robe, gripped the prop saber, and waited behind the scenes.

However, Wei Fang was scheming, harboring hatred and unwillingness, so she kept all the evidence, never expecting it would actually come in handy.

Whether to sell this song, and if so, at what price, had not yet been finalized, so he could not make rash promises at this moment.

"Yet I need to know more, and apart from you, I know of no one else who can clear my doubts." Zhongsun Yuan flipped her right hand, and a shimmering, vibrant zither materialized in her palm—none other than the Taishu family's arbiter, the Listening Bamboo Zither.

Although the enemy forces occupied the geographical advantage and their number of fighter jets was not much inferior to theirs, the Chinese air force had advanced radar aircraft directing operations from the sky. Night combat was their forte, and if a desperate battle were fought, the outcome would be hard to predict.

The crystal flame was a single-use item and would become useless after being used. However, now that the illusion had been broken, the crystal flame remained intact, which meant... the person who broke the illusion was not Li Xuan, or they had used a different method?

"Daoist Chongxu truly did not deceive me!" Having walked forty or fifty meters forward, guided by the candlelight, Lin Han discovered an extremely narrow mountain path, exactly as Daoist Chongxu had said.

Upon opening the medicine bottle and looking inside, to his surprise, they were identical to the ones bestowed by Peak Master Han—top-grade Azure Lotus Pills, a full ten of them. He had not expected this fat man to be so lavish.

Fifty years ago, Wulie was able to cultivate to the mid-stage of the Meridian Opening realm, which meant that by that time, at least one of the Purple Fire Phoenix sisters must have already broken through to the Gathering Essence realm.

The tasks Dongfang Bubai assigned to Jia Bu and Shangguan Yun were to eliminate Linghu Chong in order to prune Ren Woxing's wings, or at the very least, prevent Linghu Chong from becoming the leader of the Hengshan Sect. To their surprise, due to Lin Han's intervention, before the two of them could even make a move, Linghu Chong was directly defeated and forced to retreat.

"Guo Jing, didn't you tell me that talking isn't allowed while practicing martial arts? Why are you talking while practicing yourself?!" Tolui, who was practicing archery nearby, suddenly dropped his bow and ran over to question Guo Jing.

Changle saw that the power he was currently utilizing was completely overwhelmed by Liu Xiong, and only then did he get serious, preparing to unleash his true strength.

Jiang Pingping felt extremely reassured by the faction leader stepping in personally; during the battle against the polluted ones, the faction leader had displayed immense divine might, moving as though through an uninhabited realm right in front of them. Many cultivators deeply admired the faction leader, and Jiang Pingping was one of them.

"But you once asked us to take you to the Sealing Convention, and we already consider you a member of our team," Wu Yong said coaxingly.

"So what if I am, and so what if I'm not? I am a senior of the inner courtyard. Originally, I shouldn't meddle in the affairs of you outer courtyard students, but seeing you act so arrogant and tyrannical in bullying students, I simply cannot stand by, and therefore..." Cangqi said righteously, fan in hand.

Wu Yu tested five times until he felt dizzy and his vision lost focus; Mike, on the other side of the balance, had turned into a hazy phantom.

Just as he reacted, a cold wind rushed toward his face. He hurriedly leaned back to dodge the assailant's attack, then drew his waist saber and slashed toward the attacker's direction.

Especially since, strictly speaking, this Xuanduan ceremonial robe was the most solemn gift he had given to his great-grandfather, even though it was currently only a semi-finished product.

"You're a boy, don't worry too much. Me? I'll probably be mistaken for an angel of hell and sent to a lab for dissection." Ye Zi smiled self-deprecatingly and continued, "Healing requires good food and drink. They are natives and can solve our food and drink problems. Therefore, we must win them over."

Police officers had already interrogated them earlier, but they could not extract any useful information from the suspects' mouths. Wu Yong decided to start finding a breakthrough from Sun Yongquan.

Yuling, dressed in a tea master's robe, made every movement and posture while brewing tea as pleasing to the eye as a painting.

"I just saw that you guys were having a lot of fun, and I wanted to chime in!" the Thunder Bat replied cheerfully.

"Aah! You dog of a servant! You truly have the audacity of a tigress! I am not finished with you! I'll slaughter you!" The Third Madam pounced forward with claws bared.

The snake-like tongue flickered, carrying a drifting sensation, accompanied by dripping saliva of black liquid.

Right now, the Heavenly Emperor was pressing close to her. He held her hand within his scorching palm, stroking it back and forth. What on earth was he planning to do?

A massive mouth instantly arrived in front of the man, but to his surprise, the man showed no intention of dodging, instead choosing to hurl himself directly into the beast's belly.

The other five were elite young experts from all over the mainland, each possessing formidable renown: Wang Tian, Karella, Ling Yun, and finally, naturally, Meng Ke'er representing the Tantai Sect, and Chen Nan, whose strength had reached the peerless fifth-tier realm.

Seeing him acting in such a manner, Li逍逸 (Li Xiaoyi) suddenly felt a slight churning in his stomach. With a flash, he dodged aside and appeared directly in front of the pirate captain.

With that, Li Xiaoyi tossed a capsule onto the empty ground nearby. As the smoke cleared, Jiang Lan's eyes instantly began to flash with a golden light.

"Respected Pope." Seeing Diraqi manifest, Master Dika stepped forward, cradled Diraqi's right hand in both of his, and bowed to kiss the ring on Diraqi's right hand that symbolized supreme authority.

I must have had some kind of dream—quite a thrilling one at that, seemingly dreaming about doing something with Mu Meiqing. When I finally woke up, I remembered I was still at Mu Meiqing's place! The television had already been turned off by Mu Meiqing, looking like I had fallen asleep before her.

The two met face-to-face, exchanging not a single word, yet sharing an unspoken tacit understanding. Lingxiang also walked toward the sacrificial altar.
