24 Journey to Canglang

The next day, I prepared a sumptuous breakfast using the ingredients provided by the great beauty, finishing it at a leisurely pace despite the constant, nagging complaints from Dandan.

Seeing that her father remained unmoved, Qin Huiyan simply let her eyes well up with tears. She figured that since she was pregnant, her father would surely show some concern for her at a time like this.

On the streets of ancient times, one could walk into any tavern, spend a few copper coins, and enjoy a decent drink. The ancients had many methods for brewing, and they never added any messy, unnecessary ingredients.

The energy that had previously been suppressed within the blood suddenly turned into a trickling stream, instantly circulating throughout the entire body.

Su Mo’s body shuddered violently, and a terrifying thought suddenly flared in her mind: Could it be that Ye Jue was the one who had the child taken away back then?

Both of them were people of action; once they made a decision, they acted on it. The very next day, they descended the mountain. To Feng Wu’s surprise, the head of the Ye family did not appear at breakfast, though she didn’t dwell on it—after all, how could the head of a prestigious, powerful clan truly be that idle?

She had never developed blisters before, no matter how grueling her training was, yet now, several had rubbed raw all at once.

The Tang Clan was thousands of miles away. If they sent her back now, Lady Yurou would likely have passed away before they even arrived.

Wu Zhiyong had originally wanted to inquire with the others, but upon hearing Wu Mian’s words, he could only nod.

It wasn't just him saying it, but the overall situation of these "descenders" was far more formidable than the powerhouses of the outer realms.

However, he could not fly away, because at some point, Zhao Yu’s hand had stopped merely pinning the sword and had instead clamped firmly onto his wrist.

After three days of travel, the four finally arrived before the gates of Feixing City. Along the way, a couple of groups of dim-witted bandits had tried to rob them, but they were promptly dealt with by Huangfu Xiaoyao and Long Pingfan. Huangfu Xiaoyao’s strength had indeed improved significantly.

"Something's not right, something is definitely not right! I’ve seen this type of jade before, but none of them ever gave me a feeling like this, and certainly none of them could ward off poison." The old man shook his head incessantly, his single tuft of clipped beard swaying with his movements—a sight that even Feng Wu found comical.

Up along the White Rock Cliff, one could constantly see honeycomb-like holes in the cliff face, with faint shadows of people within; clearly, they were inhabited.

But none of that was the most important thing. What mattered most was that even now, Shui Ruoyou didn't know why Zhao Yu had saved her, nor did she even know his name.

The entire arena fell silent. After witnessing Long Yang’s strength, who would dare to be defiant? Who would dare to disobey?

"Fine! Kill these two, and I will share everything of the Ten Thousand Flower School with you, Junior Sister," Hua Manyun roared, her palm strikes becoming even more ferocious.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Feng Shao decided to visit his beloved son first. If he could cure his son's illness, he could entrust the security of the capital to him, freeing up his own energy for other matters.

Lin Fan laughed excitedly, his body blasted directly into the ruins, his aura dissipating—he was thoroughly dead.

Jing Yun watched all this in bewilderment, unable to understand why Nan Yuchen would allow them to cause such a ruckus.

When Liu Zhongyang woke up again, he was lying in a hotel room. Footsteps approached quietly, and appearing before him was Du Yu, dressed in her pajamas.

The final golden blade struck the Black Armor Shield with a heavy thud. Ren Yuxiao was shaken backward a few steps before collapsing to the ground.

The other possibility was simply that Huangfu Yuxuan had humiliated himself at the flower-viewing party, and because she hadn't given him the time of day, he felt he had lost face. With the marriage contract void, he had decided to resort to force.

The man seemed to have just awakened from a long slumber; his gaze still held a trace of confusion, and his breathtaking face wore a look of bewilderment.

"Not bad!" Hua Zheng slowly rose from the shadows. The firelight cast a harsh, grim glow over their faces.

After throwing the horse down earlier, his wounds had begun to seep blood. Fearing he would soil his outer garment, he had simply stripped it off. The exposed wounds made those around him tremble with fear.

No wonder the First Madam wondered why no news had come from the Shen residence recently; it turned out the messenger had been captured by Fu Ruolan.

But the big shots of the Illusory Great Thousand were not happy about this. This was a treasure they had been watching for months—how could they just hand it over like that?

"How could this matter possibly reach the ears of Liao Guangyi?" I found it incredible.

Actually, I could understand her. The internal strife in the Li family was complex, and now that a master of harem intrigue like Gao Xiaoli had arrived, Feng Yuanyuan felt no sense of security at all.

Over these days, she had clearly discerned the styles of the two personal guards beside Baili Hongyuan: one was glib and talkative, the other silent and reticent. Both possessed extraordinary martial arts.

Among the high-ranking concubines, she had disliked Consort Xian and Gu Qingzhao the most from the start, but that didn't mean she had any fondness for the Pei or Gong families.

However, doing this was mentally and spiritually exhausting. By the time she finished carving a powerful warding talisman, she was already covered in a light sheen of sweat. This single talisman had consumed a third of her spiritual energy, but it was powerful enough to hold off even a Ghost King for a quarter of an hour.

"What's so great about tigers? Dragon Treasure is the best!" the tourists vented their dissatisfaction.

This divine palace within the Heavenly Moon Palace was in complete chaos. The battle raged on, and the creatures rushing out from the halls were truly terrifying—almost immortal, with strength several times greater than before, making them nearly impossible to fend off.
