Blood qi could be replenished, but life force was the root; once lost, it could not be restored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The usually expressive Prince Ji had, unusually, concealed his emotions—clearly, he was truly disheartened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In stillness, thought turns to motion. Since things were this way, why not go out and enjoy the time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Lingyun raised her hand; the black Underworld whirled above her palm, absorbing the souls of the three demon cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuzhen insisted: “How do you know? You can know a person’s face but never their heart. He treats me this way now—what about tomorrow?” In her view, Lu Jian owed everything he had to her; he should be endlessly grateful, obey her without question, and dare not defy her in the slightest—or else he was ungrateful and treacherous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No art. No strategy. No screams. No blood. Only power—absolute power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lid of the Seven-Star Yangfire Cauldron slowly rose; Qin Lingyun flicked her finger, and the herbs flew into the cauldron, their impurities burning away under the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a palace attendant announced: “The Prince has arrived.” Prince Kang entered with several sons, strides commanding and proud; his eyes reddened as he saw Empress Zhu on the bed, and he knelt to bow in greeting. Prince Kang’s heir and Zhang Yizheng and others quickly followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Qin Lingyun had not provoked this battle, it had nonetheless established her authority—any illusion that she was weak would now be shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Shi said: “I’ve got things on my mind—how can I sleep? Come in. Since all three of you are here, I have something to tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Qin Lingyun felt the Huangquan Reincarnation Scripture’s power surpassed that of the Bingyu Zhenmo Scripture; this technique was entirely unlike ordinary ones—the Huangquan energy it cultivated was extreme yin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Haoge picked up the fallen letter, read it carefully, and turned pale with shock—the Young Master had been attacked by a demon! The letter gave only a brief account, with no details; the writer was likely not him, but his wife, Lin Wan’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You said bamboo wouldn’t like it here—he’s planning to stay permanently, right? I don’t like it here at all—mosquitoes and bugs are flying everywhere, driving me crazy.” Green Wu, dressed as a guard, complained bitterly.
