Volume 1 Chapter 66 The Emperor's Backing

After all, when those old fellows heard that the emperor's private treasury was going to foot the bill for upgrading the equipment, their very first thought was how to divert those funds elsewhere. Yet, to their absolute surprise, the monarch and his minister settled the matter with such effortless ease.

Given Lin Ruofeng’s current state, they were completely no match for him. Staying behind would be sheer suicide, so the wisest course of action was to leave.

Ouyang Duan’s square face remained unmoved. Ignoring Xiahou Shu entirely, he ordered the immortal generals to steer the divine ship, taking the lead as they entered the eastern gate of the Nine Heavens Immortal Mansion.

For they knew very well that once Ouyang Qianqian became the Immortal Emperor's consort, the status of their own soaring immortal city would naturally rise right along with her.

A smile graced Song Miaodan’s face. It looked radiant enough, yet it carried an underlying desolation that tugged at one's heartstrings, stirring an irrepressible urge to protect and cherish her.

The Prime Minister of Japan had also received the news. At first, he was brimming with confidence, but with each successive report, his face grew gloomier.

Seeing this, a flash of astonishment crossed Hong Zhennan’s eyes. Although Hong Zhaotian had held back some of his strength at the end, it was still at the peak of the External Force realm. To take a direct blow from Hong Zhaotian and remain completely unscathed was something even a martial artist in the mid-stage of Internal Force could never achieve.

Chen Yang then used the thunder vortex to absorb the two dark divine dragons, following up by cleaving out two thunder dragons of his own.

The group flew swiftly through the air, and a short while later, they arrived outside the lair of the Church of Light. They found that several martial king realm powerhouses had already gathered there—none other than Chu Xiaotian and his party, who had arrived a step ahead of Yang Qi and the others.

"So it turned out to be the Princess Consort putting on an act! This servant was wondering who in this estate could possibly have the audacity to mistreat the Princess Consort's meals. It was all a scheme to frame our Vice Princess Consort!" Huanlian stepped forward and said indignantly.

In the end, Meng Qingchen still could not out-stubborn Chen Fang. Under Chen Fang's teasing, she repeatedly begged for mercy and voluntarily conceded that Chen Fang should call the shots. Only then did Chen Fang let her off.

Chifeng’s gaze turned slightly solemn. Those remaining behind at this moment were all renowned monsters of the East China Sea. If they were to fight over the treasures, a cataclysmic battle would be inevitable.

With the ghost soldiers charging, Snake Lord refused to grant me a single chance, driving every ounce of power at his disposal to crush me.

At that moment, a strong urge welled up in his heart—he desperately wanted to see Xu Ying.

Meanwhile, on a peak surrounding the ancient Thousand Buddha Temple, the three mysterious figures in black robes appeared. All three knelt on one knee, bowing with utmost reverence before a shadowy figure standing before them.

"Yes. In order to assist Teacher in completing his work, I was fortunate enough to become his neighbor." With the secret out, a trace of pride lingered on Bai Ya'er's face.

"You two take the right, I'll take the left." Before the Two Overlords of Xiangxi could reply, Meng darted out like a swallow.

The sound was piercing—one could rightly call it a shrill shriek. Yet, to the human ear, it merely sounded sharp without being grating, and was even faintly soothing, which felt rather bizarre.

Speaking of missions, Ye Zheng suddenly recalled that back in the illusion, he seemed to have accepted a legendary-level quest... But wait... had he completed it? Could it be that once he left the illusion, the plot had simply evolved on its own?

Now it seemed his previous judgment was mistaken. She really was the same Qianqian as before; otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence, down to the mole being in the exact same spot?

The giant spider looked like a child opening a gift box, its ugly eyes sparkling with excited anticipation.

Yan Yi's medical skills were already extraordinary, which meant that the world's best psychologist he spoke of must be real as well.

Those words were crueler and more wounding than a whip, turning into an inescapable nightmare. As an adult, I dreamed of such scenes several times and woke up terrified. Yet the helpless part was that, even though such cruel and venomous words could no longer reach me, there was likewise no one left to care about me ever again.
