Volume 1, Chapter 54: The Bathing Disturbance

Specialized maidservants led the group inside. Meanwhile, the doorman was somewhat bewildered, yet he smiled ingratiatingly, hoping for a reward. "Matron, isn't that man simply magnificent? He is precisely the supreme specimen the masters spoke of."

Years ago, the First Mountain was even guarded by a wisp of sword qi left by that supreme being, allowing it to stand unshaken through numerous cataclysms.

A fleeting look of awkwardness crossed the face of the Yellow Emperor, Long Haochen, who was standing behind: "Sharing the character 'Chen' with me?"

The realistic immersive gaming gave her such an unnatural and insecure feeling, as if she were literally stepping across someone's severed head.

This was partly because An Lan had been reincarnated for too short a time, whereas Wang Zhiqiuhas accumulated cultivation over immense ages. If An Lan were given another few centuries to cultivate, she would undoubtedly enter the Precept Treasury Realm, and stepping into the Supreme Realm was even highly probable.

As for whether this so-called "using a ladder to climb higher" strategy would actually work, she had not the slightest confidence in her heart.

"Hmph! Ju Gongyu, how dare you urge this young lord to flee? My Yuan family has held high office for four generations; I cannot afford to lose that face. I ask you this: the rebel generals are right ahead—will you fight, or not?" Yuan Xi was driven to fury. Unable to beat Liu Yun, he turned his wrath on Ju Shou and Tian Feng instead, hoping to salvage some prestige.

Seeing that Yi Chenmeng was beginning to struggle, Yun Shiyuan flicked her sleeve and a divine artifact flashed forth—it was none other than the Sea-Defying Cloud-Piercing Halberd.

Little did he know that the vast majority of sea soul beasts, upon sensing even a trace of the Sea God's aura emanating from Tang Shan, would flee far away as if facing a monarch on progress.

The instant An Lan's fist struck home, the Ice Empress felt her cultivation plummeting at a terrifying speed. Her body began reverting toward childhood, instantly dropping to the level of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and continuing to fall even further.

The person Long Banshan wanted to kill turned out to be Long Zihao, which explained why he had dispatched two formidable warriors like Huang Qikun and Niutou simultaneously, along with several others.

Hua Feng mused. Long ago, Hua Feng had wished to come and see this place in person. Of course, back then, during his high school days, he was passionately in love with Zhuang Xiaoli and wanted to visit this place with her. It was just that, given his family's financial situation at the time, they simply didn't have any spare money to take a train all the way here.

Hua Feng knew that the traditional Chinese medicine techniques he had disseminated had attracted widespread attention in Sweden and Luxembourg. This was ample proof that in world medicine, traditional Chinese medicine would never be replaced by Western medicine; rather, the two would compete and progress together. One day, traditional Chinese medicine might even rise once more and replace the current status of Western medicine in various countries.

"Don't even think about it. Won't it suffice for me to admit I was wrong? Asking me to go kick him back is just begging to take a few more beatings," Zhao Fei said, casting a glance at Zhao Feng with a look of disdain.

However, after a thorough inspection, the head of the Qiu family discovered that aside from the withered Qiu Blood Chrysanthemum, no other treasures had been stolen, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Who on earth are they?" Meng Dahai walked over slowly, glanced at the pool of blood on the ground, and then swept his gaze across the people present.

Yang Ye brought Ling Tian to the place whereLeng Xue and the others were recuperating. Leng Xue and Wuqing were lying on their beds, covered in blood, with at least dozens of wounds on their bodies.

At this moment, Leng Liao had only one thought in his mind: to throw Duanmu Linglong into a brothel for a dozen or two strong men to take turns with her, and then hack her to pieces and throw her into the river to feed the fish.

"Damn fellow, every time it's like this! Following you gives me zero sense of security!" Xuan Yuan kept complaining. A cool breath spread through his entire body, and Rhodes's mind gradually cleared up while the physical changes rapidly receded, recovering just before Ke Luo and the others arrived.

Seeing Chu Guo suddenly wake up and sit cross-legged in place without moving a muscle, the Humpbacked Elder and the others, who had been struggling desperately to resist the chilling winds, paid him no mind. They closed their eyes tightly and waited in grim readiness for the arrival of the soul storm.
