Chapter 271: Breeding

Three days later.

Master Qian, accompanied by several disciples, walked across Hongqiao, heading toward the herb garden.

"Have you read the books Master Zheng gave you?"

Master Qian seemed to remember something and asked the disciples.

The disciples exchanged glances, all appearing slightly uneasy.

"We've read them!"

"What insights have you gained?"

Master Qian continued.

"..."

The disciples looked at one another.

"Already completed?... When?" Han Dao froze. The remaining beasts in Tianhe numbered at least several million, yet the other had never left the main base for even a second—and now claimed the task was done. How could he believe it?

The two Books of Merit were cast into the Four-Sided Divine Cauldron; the Da Li Book fused them, and instantly, boundless merit and fortune surged forth, rushing straight toward Da Li Immortal City.

At that moment, the Da Li spacecraft halted its advance. The Tie Niu Legion and Tianhe Legion formed battle arrays, and the Five Enforcement Teams also lined up, all gathered atop the vessel.

Tongtian Evil Lord, unwilling to accept defeat, slipped out of Youji Valley while Ge Minshan wasn't looking, and never returned.

Over the phone, the western front reported that the Heavenly Punishment Force was mobilizing heavy troops, all deployed along the frontline, bristling with intent. Every cannon barrel aimed at the God of War Base; tanks roared, and fighter jets had already crossed the frontline defenses—war was imminent.

Zhang Kexian had expended tremendous energy; though the pills were effective, they could not instantly restore him to peak condition. He would remain extremely weak for a period. His excessive talking was not his style—he was clearly stalling. Ning Hai would not let him succeed.

Immediately, a graceful figure stepped out from the tree hollow and flew upward toward the ancient tree. Upon its trunk, countless hollows were visible, each sealed by some kind of prohibition, rendering the interior invisible and imperceptible to outsiders.

"Many tongues can melt gold; accumulated slander can destroy bones! What if I told you the truth is otherwise?" Cao Dongli replied softly.

"Alright. Let's head to the main city to turn in the quest. What about you?" Jian Ren asked Ning Hai.

Yong Xiao drove and, together with Gao Ningning, did not go to Siji Holiday Hotel. Tonight, they gathered at the villa they'd bought before the Dàquān incident. These old fellows rarely had a day to relax—tonight, they'd follow the Chinese New Year tradition: eat, make dumplings, and drink.

"No, no—give me your phone, I'll voice-message him!" I grabbed Yin Enfei's WeChat and began cursing Old Ai, while Yin Enfei sat beside me, feeding me tangerines.

The suicide squad was their Dark Clan's elite unit. Though collectively they couldn't match the White Ape Clan's chieftain, if given the chance, they still had ways to kill him.

Or, die alongside Feng Wuji here—this would finally settle the grudges between them.

In the instant I turned, I felt those around me—people I once knew, even once sought to protect—exhale a sigh of relief.

Bing Leng possessed the ultimate ice ability of the world; the Ice Dragon King even more so—ascending further could freeze even the soul.

"Kangzi, this is how it happened..." Sun Zhaoming recounted exactly what He Yanjun had told him.

"Then... may I call you Brother Cheng from now on?" Su Yanran, wearing a pink dress, stepped forward and tugged at Cheng Yu's sleeve, her voice bright and clear.

The outskirts held only ordinary malevolent spirits, weak in power—but the Ghost Vein grew denser with prohibitions and arrays the deeper one ventured.

After returning to Xuantian Sect, Ye Qingyun reported everything he had experienced at Huoyun Sect to Ye Xuantian.

Yangyang was special—but he could not see the future of her, her husband, and their child. Likewise, to Yangyang, they too were special.
