Why do you still want him, bitch?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhu Fenglan’s expression darkened like a storm about to break.

Why keep chasing me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qingqing frowned and shouted at the old nurse behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Cang Yunning had been her kill, she’d accept pursuit—but this clearly had nothing to do with her anymore; chasing her now made no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the old nurse said nothing, only closing the distance swiftly, radiating lethal intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qingqing was speechless—then, out of the corner of her eye, she glanced toward the fleeing Cangyuan Marquis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, her eyes widened sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cangyuan Marquis, wreathed in corpse qi and nearly a dark-yellow streak of motion, suddenly reversed direction—flying back at a speed many times faster than his escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a cannonball fired from its barrel, he slammed into the two pursuing elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two elders had no time to react—before they knew it, they were engulfed by his terrifying force and hurled downward like falling stars, crashing straight into Zhu Fenglan’s courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This happened too fast, too shocking—when the thunderous crash finally echoed, Zhu Fenglan and the others only then realized what had occurred, freezing in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a young figure appeared instantly from afar, entering everyone’s sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1182,"2026-06-20T01:43:38.503Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ac001aa5eda2bb080182dd860b9bf9511264648a974cd7d47a1fd5f9c0169f0e","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-66","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-64",259,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-cover.jpg"]
