Chapter 181: Zhou Yingxi, You're Not Even as Good as a Donkey
The Xian Alliance's dominion stretches across several provinces; the Wunan Basin is merely a piece of its northern territory.
But this great power itself is not strong — it is simply regarded by the great cultivators as the final form of some kind of consensus, becoming a platform that helps the great cultivators rule the lands beneath them and seek the greatest common denominator of profit.
The reason the Xian Alliance holds power is not because some inherent might naturally exists within it, but only because it has taken in the mighty powers beneath its banner.
Within the Xian Alliance, there are none above Jin Dan.
Fang Qi raised the candlestick and slowly made his way to Golden Flower Granny. Golden Flower Granny lay face-down on the ground, and a large pool of blood had already spread across the floor.
The black shadow lowered its head and said, "Yes!" Then, hesitating, it slowly walked into the temple, looking back over its shoulder as it went.
This skill is truly perverted! Especially if one wants to mingle in the officialdom of ancient times — that is, enter the imperial court — with this skill, as long as one isn't too brain-dead, one can basically get by very comfortably. Even someone with zero political sense could just find a person whose official career flourishes for life and use them as a backer, right?
The Military Intelligence Division was established very early and spent a great deal of time on training. Some of its outstanding agents even knew lip-reading and sign language — using lip-reading to steal information and intelligence, and using sign language to transmit it.
Just as Bai Zikang was in utter despair, wondering whether he should bite his tongue and end it all at once, his angel appeared.
As the local administrator of the prefecture, the Clear Source Sect naturally bore inescapable responsibility, so it treated this matter as a mission and handed it over to Yang Que and his three companions.
The red sun, unnoticed, tilted toward the west. Di Shuye finally opened his eyes, gave a slight nod toward the water-splashing sky, and then with a 'whoosh' shot down from the platform, flying toward the bottom of the gorge.
Hearing the bespectacled man's assurance — and most importantly the middle-aged man's words — the bald man released the bespectacled man and let him go up to try once more. Didn't the electronic synthesized voice say there were still two chances?
He lowered his head, grief-stricken. The occasional flash of hatred in his eyes was far from ordinary, yet he concealed it extremely well.
Over these five years, he had become quite renowned on the Human Race's Immortal Court side, the reason being that no matter how dangerous the mission, once he took it on, it was never left unfinished.
"There's no rush with this matter. Things have already reached this point; the day when the truth comes to light will surely come." Ning Han spoke up to comfort, her tone firm.
Hearing Ye Shuang ask this, Bai Youyou took out the Poké Ball. Bai Guang flashed, and after Gastly appeared, she pointed lightly with her finger. Gastly then shone its eyes at Ye Shuang, and in an instant Ye Shuang felt his body stiffen, as if a transparent shell had formed around the outside of his body. However, after only a few seconds, it returned to normal.
TS hadn't even been established yet, and Penguin, like ICQ and MSN, was still in a state of disdain toward this field. It could be said there was no better opportunity than now to push into foreign markets.
"What a pity about that tree — these eighty-one Gu Jiujiu spirit fruits are probably its last breath of vitality!" Li Qingtong stared at those 'treasure pearls' with her spirit force and murmured to herself.
"The second method is this one!" A pearl appeared in her hand — the second one she had later obtained at Azure Dragon Star, a cracked white-jade pearl of Bai Guang.
"Right? Father, do you know whether Grandmother has two incomplete seals by her side?" Ning Mo asked in confusion.
The other party was already preparing for Core Formation. Three kinds of miraculous spirit pills to assist Core Formation, and a complete set of materials for refining a Natal Dharma Treasure had been sorted and laid out.
It was fortunate that Jiang Feimo's house had fairly good soundproofing between rooms; otherwise, how could anyone possibly have slept? With such a huge commotion upstairs.
Therefore, he would not want to reconcile with Su Huan simply because she was the true heiress of the Xie Group.
"Hmph, don't blame me for being ruthless. Blame your bad judgment in following the wrong person." I let out a cold snarl, then directly slashed the dagger in my hand across the necks of those Dragon Group people. This time I didn't pause at all — it was a killing move straight away.
Sure enough, sisters are alike — they act the moment they speak. So Mu Qinzi was also dragged out of bed and pulled into the dinner.
"Let's go home first." Mu Qinzi forcibly took Ye Ning's hand, ignoring someone's awkwardness. With a grand sweep of his hand, Ye Ning stepped out of the Cold Family residence first, while Mu Qinzi wiped the sweat from his brow and hurried to follow. Why does it feel like life ahead won't be easy? This is the consequence of getting a onee-san.
This was too strange. Hui'an had always been an extremely rigorous person — punctual, law-abiding, rarely changing plans once agreed upon. Could something unexpected have happened?
"What about you? Still want to bully people?" I disdainfully curled my lip at the thirty-year-old man, then spoke toward the handsome man.
Mu Biwei left Lotus Wind Court and walked along the palace path toward the Xuan Shi Hall. But before she had gone far, she saw a person coming slowly toward her from the opposite direction. His fox-fur coat was slightly open, revealing the crossed collar of a pale plain-edged robe beneath. The man wore an air of ease, as though he were strolling to admire the scenery — and was it not precisely Nie Yuansheng?
"That thing, you know, lying. Your sister Ke'er lied." Li Yi pouted and said.
Sigh, truly I have no idea what other identities she has. Just listen to how those people address her — one moment Guest Elder, the next Family Head, then President. Every single title and status that comes out of their mouths is enough to stun a person. Junchi only felt that his own world was far too narrow, and that even he, the Emperor, amounted to little.
It was just that his overtures had not been accepted by Feng Qingyang. One could tell that Feng Qingyang, too, was of a cold disposition.
The mixed spell shot forth at tremendous speed, striking into the great red gourd. At that very moment, True Lord Ling Jue Yu Xiao felt a sudden premonition of dread well up within him.
There was actually a person hidden inside the wind? His divine soul was instantly terrified to the extreme. He wanted to flee at once, but he was tightly bound by the wind — moving even a little was extremely difficult; there was simply no possibility of breaking free.
Thousands of shipborne cannons spat tongues of fire, smoke billowed everywhere, and countless shells rained down on the shipyard, instantly blasting it into fragments that burst open like fireworks.
With a soft 'pop', the upper half of the metal sphere's outer shell split open to both sides. A beam of green light shot out, forming a three-dimensional architectural image.
Liu Ziye and Yao Chunxiang looked up in astonishment, only to see a delicate, pretty face with a confident smile.
However, sweet potatoes are best when dug up and sun-dried — the red-hearted ones taste better that way. Those not dried in the sun still retain moisture and the flavor is a bit poorer. But Le Lang figured that the things inside the Jade Ruyi space probably wouldn't be too bad.
At a rough glance, there were fewer than five hundred people, and afterward no one emerged from underground.
Some gold, some silver, some red, some blue, some green, some purple — among the thousand orbs of light, not a single one shared the same hue. A thousand shades of brilliance shone upon each other, as if the starry sky of ages past had reappeared, dazzling in the extreme.
Yi Han dismounted from the sturdy horse, only to see before him an extremely ordinary residence. Given the Ping family's wealth, building such a luxurious mansion would have been entirely possible, but the wise know how to keep a low profile, preserve themselves, and most of all avoid standing out too much.
True Lord Xingyue immediately understood. Although a single 'Dragon Crocodile Beast' was nothing to fear, and if all the Jin Dan True Lords attacked together, they might well be able to slay the beast, if the delay dragged on too long, it would be hard to avoid other ancient fierce beasts breaking free of their chains, and that would truly be a realm of nine deaths and one life.
