Chapter 216: Cultivating Immortality, Cultivating Immortality—What Is an Immortal

Jin Mingdu is an exceptionally intelligent girl, and even among the many potential partners Wang Yulou carefully selected, her wisdom ranks among the very best.

Previously, she had clearly expressed to Yulou that her ambitions were modest.

Wang Yulou is a man whose heart runs as deep as a bottomless pool—he is formidable—and as his partner, Jin Mingdu is often exceedingly cautious, much like Zhou Yingxi, who is constantly dragged into high-stakes battles by Wang Yulou.

But at this moment, she grabbed Wang Yulou.

“This is illegal! I’ll sue you until you’re bankrupt!” Li Tianrong screamed in terror, yet still blustered.

Zhao Shuangrou raised her hand, tilting her pig-like face upward as she wailed pitifully before two Enforcers of the Punishment Hall, saying nothing but sobbing helplessly.

Yu Sheng couldn’t let her go back—not because of Meili and Peng Fei, but because he feared the Ye Chen family, especially Ye Chen himself, who was still physically strong; if he opposed them, their current emaciated frames might not be enough to guarantee victory.

Many had already heard the news of her upcoming engagement to Wei Shaolong; naturally, Zhang Yingjie was no exception. Envious and jealous, he could only sigh at Zhang Yingjie’s good fortune in training such a disciple.

Due to Mu Ye’s disappearance, Mu Chen, at the peak of the Yi Jing realm, had never learned any other Qi-absorption method. Because of the missing pathway through a hidden meridian, the gap between the two methods was substantial.

“Your former defeated opponent has arrived.” The girl with the thin veil over her face glanced at the ceiling, then looked at Mo Yao, her tone laced with mockery and amusement.

Having Mu Yang participate in the First Martial Arts Tournament of the Realm—given his age—would already be extremely difficult if he hoped to make the top eight.

The Chang family holds considerable power within the military, and their clan would never allow someone of low talent to hold a high position.

Yet Mo Chen Zhenjun did not know the former glory of being feared across the land; she mistook it for fungus growing in black soil, and continued introducing herself anyway.

A slight activation released a terrifying aura that blocked the pressure, causing the several trembling disciples of the Zi Yue Kingdom to finally exhale in relief.

“Probably not needed.” Qin Fangbai likely has people there; An Fen’s presence wouldn’t help much.

Zhao Shi nodded, watching Li Danruo enter the carriage; only after the vehicle passed through the second gate did she lock the door and return inside.

The maid replied and hurried out to deliver the message; two servants quickly caught up to Master Yao Tian, and within moments, one on each side, they pulled and dragged the terrified Yao Tian into the tea shop.

“You dare lay hands on my family, and still expect me to spare you?” Xia Yang stared coldly at Lin Quan and Kong Yuandong, their faces twisted in pain, his murderous intent surging wildly within him.

The Earth Dragon gave a signal to Wang Jidong behind him; Wang Jidong walked to the back of the stage to deliver the order to begin.

Long ago, he had sensed something amiss; Xia Yang’s words only confirmed his suspicions.

“Who are you?! What do you want?! Did you know my identity all along?!” I shouted at the ghost-faced man while sitting on the ground.

I leapt up instantly; the masked man clearly hadn’t expected me to resist—he was knocked to the ground by my tackle—but he was skilled, kicking me away with one foot; at that moment, my father rushed over and pinned the masked man down.

She immediately felt numbness and excruciating pain where her buttocks hit the ground; for no reason, she had merely fallen flat—and yet it hurt so terribly.

He wore shackles that clanked loudly, heavy beyond measure, forged from the divine metal used to craft imperial weapons.

After all, he had gone a long time without tasting fine food or wine; though his cultivation advancement meant he no longer needed to eat, he was still human, and in this rare moment of leisure, he felt a sudden desire for indulgence—so Xuan Gang’s banquet was more effective than any treasure offered.
