Chapter 51: "Strike While You're Down! I'll Take Your Life!"
“This time, almost no one made any gains. However, we found quite a few spirit plants here. We’ve kept what we need ourselves; you all can take a look and see if there’s anything you require.”
Sinan Sheng took out the spirit plants left over after Mo Yu and the others had made their selections, offering them for everyone to choose.
Mo Lie and Qi Xuan also pulled out the spirit plants stored in their rings.
Those with Ice Spirit Roots were rare to begin with, and since these were gifts from Sinan Sheng and the others, no one was greedy.
Such collectible items surely had a place where they could be used or exchanged, perhaps at the Sun Altar.
Gu Xiling blinked, reminded of the bittersweet Gu Xirong—was this how Madam Xie was brought back?
“The heart was shattered by a sharp blade; death was instantaneous. Please accept my condolences,” the priest said solemnly, lowering his gaze with sorrow as he spoke to Leon.
When Teer fell to the ground, his fate uncertain, even the Paladin could not help but widen his eyes in shock.
Zhou Jin was taken aback, gripping Gu Xiling’s hand with a look of mournful regret. His long, elegant eyes were filled with disappointment and accusation toward human nature.
Had Su Can not married him, he might never have pondered his own origins in his lifetime.
The last time at the Jingyang Marquis’s garden, he overheard Gu Xirong admiring his martial skills and knowledge, instantly falling in love with him.
When under the Chengtian Sect, Li Tai had wanted to speak with Li Chengqian. At that time, Changsun Wuji had already noticed that Li Tai was completely unprepared for Li Chengqian’s arrival.
With a bang, an explosion shattered the silence. Even the golden noble who faced death could not fathom what had truly happened.
Leaving the Happiness Commune’s pig farm, Su Can drove the couple, Lu Hongjun and his wife, to Changliu Village Market, where they bought some vegetables and snacks.
If there was truly someone chosen, he would sell everything to make it happen, but his son was stubborn and refused to listen. Though they had arranged several matches for his daughter, the son’s obstinate temperament was just like his father’s, leaving him helpless. He insisted that he was still young and wanted to spend a few more years with his mother.
When Qin Han’s fans learned of this news, they were overjoyed and celebrated the good tidings.
“Captain Li and the brothers Pan Bing and Pan Ding are already waiting outside,” the bodyguard said softly.
“Ah, my fear is that my two older brothers will go too far and provoke Ye Bai. With Ye Bai’s temper and strength, whoever angers him faces grave danger—more than just ordinary peril; it could cost them their lives,” Yu Man said, understanding much but unable to stop worrying.
Of course, Lang Hongxiang did not believe this was Feng Yutian’s entire fortune. Although he urgently needed the antidote at the time, he would never have handed over all his treasures.
If only given a little more time, the Ape Emperor would not be enough for the two of them to kill. But now, their vast difference in cultivation levels meant they were no match for the Ape Emperor.
The leader there was a fool. When he saw the Sixteenth Princess, he dared not ask any questions. They had even prepared a swift chariot to escort the two to Beast King City.
“Come, let’s go out and buy a sturdier alchemy furnace,” Yao Muchen said to the Divine Crow Taoist after changing his clothes.
The Heavenly Realm was a great chasm for all cultivators. Crossing this threshold meant becoming an Earth Immortal, what people commonly called a pseudo-immortal. Those who failed would see their Dao perish and their bodies fall. Due to various reasons in the Eight Domains, no one had yet succeeded in crossing this barrier to become an Earth Immortal. Even across the Nine Continents, those who achieved this could be counted on one hand.
Before long, Xu Xian’er had already soared beneath Tiger Claw Peak. Standing tall, she borrowed momentum a few times at the base before ascending to the summit.
“Alright!” Ling Huinuan did not know what her grandmother was asking but smiled and replied cheerfully.
At that moment, the sound of a zither suddenly echoed. In the distance, a fiery phoenix spread its wings and swiftly arrived above them. Sitting atop the phoenix was an old man with white hair, kneeling on the bird’s back before a very simple wooden zither.
