Chapter 136: Sitting Calmly in the Ghost Realm as if in a Bright Hall

The moon half-revealed, black clouds filling the sky.

The moonlight tonight was poor, so the lanterns on Spring Street appeared brighter.

Xiuyue County was after all a large county of tens of thousands, and Spring Street, hundreds of meters long, hosted over a dozen brightly lit brothels, with colorful curtains hanging down and voices clamoring.

Besides brothels, the night-open establishments on the street were taverns, inns, gambling dens, and vendors selling night snacks like noodles and rice cakes.

There were still many guests coming and going on the street.

The undead clawed and scratched at the corner where Mu Li had been; Ai could not judge such a close target, and the undead kept accumulating, like a traffic jam, completely cramming themselves into this cave.

The drivers played for five yuan as the base, up to a hundred yuan at the top; with good luck, one could win a couple thousand in the morning—it was pure gambling, and with bad luck, a single big hand could lose a thousand or eight hundred.

Speaking of this, Liu Ming let out a sob. Then he wiped the tears and snot from his face with his sleeve.

Now, corn was still acceptable locally, but the main concern was sorghum. Also, the fruit needed for Lotus White must begin to be adjusted.

Yet when wuxia declined, and Cheng Baiyang’s final wuxia film earned extremely disappointing box office returns, he was forced onto the xianxia path.

Yu Qingqing listened to his endless introduction, but her brows furrowed: “Wei’er, won’t this object cause disciples with low cultivation to fixate on it and neglect their own practice? Are you not the same?” Her tone grew harsher, freezing Yu Wei’s expression.

Su Shu lay on her back; when Luo Yangfei looked over, her heart sank sharply—she had not missed the dark, turbulent hue in his eyes, that conflict between belief and humanity, and she vaguely guessed the father-son pair’s decision.

In contrast, Chen Hao had gained many shortcuts by strangling and slitting throats, but he was far slower than Mu Li.

Even in broad daylight, it looked deeply eerie, with only the black pupils behind the eye sockets, pitch-dark as if directly connected to hell.

It was a simple question, yet Chu Wei, who had always obediently answered Yun Yi’s questions, suddenly fell silent, his face darkening with gloom.

Just as Einstein, through the mass-energy equation, discovered that matter could be converted into energy, accelerating the historical progression toward nuclear weapons and nuclear power.

In Ibuki’s heart, Li Mingyu had already become one of the world’s top players; if he continued growing at this level, his future achievements were limitless.

Even after evolution, it was nearly impossible to snap a tree thick enough for one person to embrace in a single blow.

As the true qi storm around them grew wilder, countless green leaves slowly coalesced before Zhao Ai’s eyes; in an instant, they formed a giant sword several zhang long.

The Autumn Hunt was a royal hunting event, attended only by the nobility; Su Qingqian brought Hua Yu, but Su Huaiyu refused to go, so she did not press him.

These two were cousins in the secular world, surnamed Ma; the one with the pointed mouth was Ma Zhong, the one with the Bazi eyebrows was Ma Yi.

He was like a heartless capitalist, and everyone in the [Path of the Sword Immortal] were merely his employees.

That was the high-temperature charged particle stream barrier at the edge of the solar system, also known as the legendary “Firewall.”

“Good.” Hun Ling’er sat across from Hun Feng, slowly recounting all the things Xiao Yan had done, letting him judge Xiao Yan’s situation himself.

Su Qingqian thought of something—she returned to her room and came out holding a pot of pink-blue hydrangeas.

Bathed in faint starlight, she leaned in closely to better see the stars, and with the man before her being quite handsome, Li Mengyao closed her eyes on impulse.

Meanwhile, the three of them must, within the next two days before the merit ranking is announced, spare no cost to exterminate as many high-ranked demonic cultivators and native beast monsters as possible to earn merit points.
