Chapter 62

Half a quarter of an hour later, the tally was complete. There were over nine thousand spiritual jades. Useful sundries numbered around fifty, while the rest held little value and were directly discarded by Lin Yun.

Glancing over, he saw a scroll that had rolled down from the stack of scrolls on the table, slowly spinning on the floor.

To the west of Blue Leaf City lay a marshland, which was much safer compared to the perilous beast-infested mountains and forests. Moreover, the aquatic beasts inhabiting it were few in number, almost all lurking deep at the bottom of the water and rarely emerging. Because of this, the marshland was quite favored by cultivators, who often came here in their leisure time to practice swimming, enjoying a comfortable and pleasant pastime.

Kong Rong did not wait for Lü Bu to reply or retort. Lü Bu possessed a sharp tongue capable of turning black into white and confusing right from wrong. Unwilling to let Lü Bu retort and wash away his stains, Kong Rong leaped forward.

"I refuse to believe that you can defeat me." Shen Wanzong was also truly enraged, as star after star was continuously condensed into being.

Lin Jingyi said slickly. It was true that he fancied Mu Qingxuan, but if he were asked at this moment to measure the depth of his love for these two fair maidens, he would probably find it truly difficult to choose. Yet, by comparison, Lin Reyu seemed more suited to him.

Han Dang and Zhang Zhao were panic-stricken. Fearing that Jia Xu would see through their ruse, they had not dared to mobilize the naval forces from the river to set a trap in Jiujiang, and could only dispatch troops from the land route. All their arrangements had been made based on a three-day deadline. Jia Xu's sudden crossing of the river completely disrupted Jiangdong's plans.

The Cao army generals let out cheers from the bottom of their hearts, infecting the soldiers. The routed troops, who had been locked in a standoff with the guards, now rallied under the leadership of the Cao camp generals and began a counter-charge against Lü Bu's forces.

In the end, Xu Shan altered his appearance and reappeared under the identity of Xu Mohan. Because Xu Mohan had been an orphan since childhood, and Xu Shan was his closest friend who knew him inside and out, no flaws were detected by anyone.

Disciples of the other sects echoed in agreement without raising other objections; only the disciples of the Chengming Sect and the Mahapratisara Hall remained silent.

"It is not as magical as you make it sound!" Gwen smiled softly. Although there were many ways to decode genes, it was still a very long way from playing God.

Since you agreed to the divorce yourself, whether we can remarry or not depends entirely on you, doesn't it?

No matter how arrogant this Leader of the Poison Shadow Cult might be, upon hearing that this person was none other than the legendary Gao Xuan, he could not help but feel a sliver of dread.

Inside the room, Ouyang Lian slowly raised his head, the wicked curl of his lips signifying that the ordeal had finally come to an end. Mu Lingxi lay sprawled across the massive bed, her fading gaze slowly glancing toward the figure standing off to the side.

Hearing Gao Xuan say this, the Iron-Faced Elder did not display any massive shock. Perhaps all of this had been within the Iron-Faced Elder's expectations from the very beginning.

Instantly, a fiercely chilling blade-light shot straight toward the man's neck, as if it could sever his head with a sword in the blink of an eye.

With that, she shoved the blueprint in her hand into Gao Xuan's grasp, and then flew toward the horizon without ever looking back.

Whenever people spoke of Kou Xichaoxin, he was no longer remembered as the youthful censor, but as a pitiful man betrayed by his wife and fellow disciples.

While speaking, his burning gaze fell upon Murong Fu. Although that strike had been fully charged, the residual power was not something that could dissipate the moment it was mentioned.

"Senior Brother Qi, what are you meddling in between their fight? Are you living up to your status as a witness?" said Wu Lingyu.

Clemens knew Orlando understood what he was asking, and he chose not to reply. At that moment, the large black eagle he kept flew back from the distant east. The black eagle landed on Clemens's shoulder, shook the rainwater from its feathers, and continuously let out strange cries that only Clemens could understand.

"Why? You're still asking me what you did to me yesterday?!" Ye Xue demanded angrily.

The Life-Slaying and Soul-Executing Array lacked its previous defensive capability and was directly shattered to pieces by Yang Dingtian's peerless fist strike.

Not knowing what those two old men had done, when Wang De was halfway through his charge, he suddenly collapsed to his knees on his own, and the sheer momentum directly shattered his kneecaps.

Lin Yu saw Li Tianrong's eyes turn golden, emitting a dazzling radiance that pierced through the endless darkness and shone upon him.

Avi was absent-minded. Back in Golden Hoof City, he had looked down upon those religions with disdain, believing them to be nothing more than places for wrongdoers to seek peace of mind. On the other hand, he still remembered how those fanatical imperial citizens had completely changed their faces when he was on trial, as if they couldn't wait to strip his flesh and tear his bones apart.

"Prince Huan, I surmise that the Drought Demon will not be so easy to deal with. Hong Quan will likely contact us within these few days," Yusheng said calmly.

Joking aside, the only reason he was willing to take on this mission was to repay a favor. Protect her and follow someone else? He might as well abandon the mission altogether rather than risk losing his life in it.

"Xuan Yusheng, along with his accompanying personnel Zhang Xuyang and three disciples, step forward to the hall to receive your imperial investiture!" the herald proclaimed in a long voice.

"What characteristic?" Zhang Zhao asked curiously. Every zombie differed in appearance and attire, but if they shared one common trait, it was that they were all zombies.

For a moment, an indescribable wave of emotion washed over her heart. Zhao Nina could not help feeling a warm sensation within, casting a grateful glance toward Xiang Yang.
