Chapter 153: Exchange

Then he waved his hand, and the area where the battle had taken place returned to its original state. There was no trace of the uneven ground that had been riddled with pits moments before.

“Do you really think a mere chill can hurt me? You’re simply courting death.”

The black-clad man’s figure suddenly moved. His body flickered, yet his image remained where it had been, as though he had never moved at all.

When Helian Rong returned to the Wei residence, he was surprised to find Qian Jinbao sitting in the main hall, his face filled with anger. The Old Madam, the First Madam, Lady Wu, and the others sat beside him with pale, strained expressions. Four powerful guards stood watch at both the front and rear doors, and no one dared move.

The hospital was permeated by the sharp smell of disinfectant. The crowded inpatient ward filled Han Jun with an inexplicable loathing. He disliked the atmosphere here. He disliked seeing his family members here.

Wang Chong was faring somewhat better. After all, he was a genius of the financial world, and he could still exchange a few words with Chen Tianhao from time to time. Even Chen Tianhao’s most casual remarks would leave Wang Chong pondering for a long while.

He happened to glance at the spiritual energy within the Profound Yin Spirit Pool and found it astonishingly sparse and weak. He immediately thought of that rogue, Liu Badao. It was precisely because he thought of Liu Badao that the Icebound Sword Immortal began to speculate about the possible purpose behind the Jade Emperor’s sending the Windshadow Immortal Lord, the Mistshadow Immortal Lord, and the others down to the mortal world.

“Brother Long, if anything happens, just call out. We’ll all be outside.” Zheng Huming’s voice was filled with concern.

“Mm.” Shang Huangtian naturally understood Liu Niao’s meaning and replied with a brief word before his figure flickered once more.

“Please, don’t leave me. I can’t live without you.”

Suddenly, Xu Xing fell to his knees with a thud and began sobbing loudly like a child, oblivious to everyone around him.

“I’ll go take a look!”

A car horn sounded outside the courtyard. Qingzhu ran out ahead of everyone else. When she saw that it was indeed Zhang Guodong unloading things, she immediately cheered.

“If you’re not serious, you’ll never be allowed to touch me again. Do you understand?” Lin Ke’er asked.

As Mu Chenyu passed through the corridor, he clearly heard the news. Upon hearing Jiang Jingluo’s name, he was genuinely shocked. His heartbeat seemed to skip half a beat; he had never expected something like this to happen. His mind churned wildly, and his heart tightened with sudden panic.

“Right. Whatever you’re thinking of is probably another terrible idea like today’s.” Su Nuannuan rolled her eyes at Wu Xintian.

“Hee-hee, not yet. I’m going now, I’m going right now.”

Knowing that she had done wrong, she immediately apologized repeatedly and set about correcting her mistake.

He had already advanced to the high-level Immortal realm many years ago, and he was also one of the Thirty-Two Immortal Officials. To what terrifying level had his cultivation now risen?

His original form had not changed in the slightest. What had changed was the spiritual energy. It seemed to be continuously transforming into immortal energy. The might of his spiritual energy had already been enough to allow him to fight opponents above his level many times and slay them. If it were transformed into immortal energy, just how terrifying would it become?

Before long, the car came to a stop. Yet Jingyi refused to get out. She clung tightly to the handle inside the car and struggled desperately, shouting at the top of her lungs, “Help! Help!” Her cries drew everyone in the parking lot to look over. They watched as though they were witnessing a show, but no one intended to come to her rescue.

Because our actions had been so discreet, none of the people nearby had noticed. Thus, when they saw Sister Hua in that state, they were completely baffled.

“Sister Shiyu, was that Grandpa calling? What did he say?” Zhuang Qingyu’s eyes were somewhat swollen. She stared unblinkingly at Xiao Shiyu and asked weakly.

“Although I am a son of a concubine and not a member of the main branch, I have still seen Princess Anping several times within the clan,” Gao Qi said in a low voice.

“So, it means that your Zifeng clan can’t send anyone capable, and that’s why you’re in such a hurry to have my master act?” Hei Tai suddenly remarked.

Beneath the floating arena, the grounds were divided into various competition fields. Unlike the empty expanse of the floating arena, these venues contained all kinds of environments: forests, mountains, grasslands, and even snowy terrain. They must have been prepared for the main competition, right?

After the Old Madam asked her question, she fell silent. Seeing the hesitation on the woman’s face, Tianyin grew increasingly uneasy. Could it be that she truly intended to take that vile woman from last night as a concubine?

Moreover, over the years she had remained at his side as his wife. Even the memories belonging to Mo Qingcheng within her mind were so vivid. How could she possibly feel no affection at all?

I lowered my head and glanced down. There was a hole in the ground about as thick as an adult’s arm. It extended dozens of meters deep, and the lightning rod lay quietly inside it.

“The Battle for the Summit…”

Ye Zheng’s face had shown no emotion at the time, but a strange light flickered in his eyes.

“Your Majesty, if this continues, we’re finished for sure.” They had fought for only half a month, yet Southern Xinjiang had already lost fifty thousand soldiers. The number was terrifying. If the fighting continued, they would have no one left to command.

Feiyu placed the final demon offering into her storage pouch. Her eyes involuntarily turned toward the direction in which Song Jian had departed, and a thought drifted through her mind: Had Song Jian obtained his first demon offering by now?

Completely cowed by Wu Yidi, Deng Guanfeng’s lips twitched for a long while, but he could no longer utter a single word.

When I woke again, I had no idea how much time had passed. The first thing I saw upon opening my eyes was Bai Qi and Yu Yunchang standing guard on either side of me.

Sima Xuan was startled by Lin Peng’s sudden action. He hurriedly patted Lin Peng’s back and comforted him.

From that day onward, Tu Shu’s cultivation seemed to stagnate. He made no further progress. No matter how hard his father tried, Tu Shu remained completely unchanged. Everything seemed frozen on that day, without the slightest alteration. Finally, one day…

Seeing that the other party’s attitude had clearly improved, Lin Peng acted as though he had seized a lifeline and hurriedly began flattering him.

Fine. I clenched my teeth. I never wanted things to come to this. You forced me into it. The fault is yours.

“Fine. We came here to learn and draw on your experience. We’d like to take a look at the training grounds and observe the exercises,” Xiao Wei said.
