Chapter 746: The Stubbornness of Commander Baochen

Before the morning mist dispersed, the silhouette of Bird-Rat Mountain bled into varying shades of ink-wash against the dark azure sky.

The fir forest growing along the ridge was the first to catch the dawn light; dewdrops on the tips of the needles refracted fine, scattered star-glints, and the shaken morning dew slid down the aged bark into the rock crevices, merging with the hidden spring beneath the moss to form a thread of a clear stream.

Facing the morning light, the Tibetan vanguard army was advancing along the mountain road at the foot of Bird-Rat Mountain in a formation with heavy infantry in front and lightly armored archers behind. Many bore marks on their armor—

Tang now showed not the slightest displeasure on Shen's face, and had entirely abandoned his earlier attitude of grumbling and laziness; his brow was tightly furrowed, as if pondering something.

Taking advantage of this opening, Li Xian's bare body bounced off the ground and flew straight up, trying to escape.

Li Xian swept Duo Lan, wrapped within both the golden energy wave and the golden cloud layer, into the Ghost King Space.

Her intuition told her that if she withdrew now there was still time; once she truly took that step, turning back would be impossible.

Terrifying Buddha power seeped into Jiang Ting's body, frantically purifying the sinister energy within her.

Outsiders could see it, and as the person concerned, Wang Zheng—Wang Zheng, who already possessed the Innate Body—naturally understood his own condition with perfect clarity.

Still, cohabiting with a grown man who worked as a mercenary—no matter how you looked at it, it felt a bit strange, didn't it?

"What do you think, Lu Zheng? Are we really not going to help? Just watching like this? That doesn't seem right." Qin Rou stood with Li Jiuzhen atop a tall peak beside Tianya City, looking somewhat helplessly at Lu Zheng ahead.

When they reached the ATM, Lu Zheng tried it himself. He did try, but discovered that the machine simply would not accept his card—it could not be inserted at all.

I nodded, but for some reason, seeing the Sha Fetus in such a state, my heart actually felt a twinge of pity for it—perhaps because my heart was too soft, or perhaps because I thought too much.

Realizing this, Mo Tiange looked at the wall covered in moonlight illusion stones and could not help feeling alarmed.

This was the full attack form of the Feather of the Angel; though its diameter had only doubled, its power had increased by far more than tenfold. Even a powerhouse of A-rank strength would not dare receive it directly with their physical body.

No matter how low his strength, he was still a cultivator with his own path to walk; others could support him, but could not make decisions for him.

Next, the people who had calmed down from their panic began discussing what had happened, but by this time the mountaintop had gone completely silent—not the slightest sound drifted down, as though no duel had ever taken place there.

Ziqing laughed upon hearing this; barely through the city gates, Zeng Ruixiang's seniority had already grown, making him the old patriarch, while Zifu and the others had all become young masters. Lin Kangping asked Ziqing what she was laughing at.

"But how does one sense the existence of space?" This was a question, but for Ryan it was not yet a difficult one; he tried using every method available.

So, I would take out Yuan Mei first, then go see them. Give them a surprise—that way, perhaps my heart might feel a little better. I gave a bitter smile.

Ziqing understood Xia Yu's inner conflict; her personality was like Zeng Ruixiang's—kind and soft. After all, unlike Zeng Ruixiang, she had not had those conflicts with Chunyu, and the bond between sisters was inherently closer than that between brother and sister, so Ziqing could indeed understand Xia Yu's turmoil.

And so, Celeste recounted the events: at the birthday ball, Ryan had a conflict with Kili, and as a result Kili was forced to apologize by the Third Prince and Princess Amphina; Kili then sent people to attack in retaliation, but was instead defeated by Ryan.

This time, Perfected Wangchen took Zhou Qing and continued darting around various places he had previously discovered within the Yama Sacred Land.

The Four Symbols Domain continuously strengthened, and the restrictions on everyone increased accordingly, so everyone's attacks grew weaker and weaker.

But now… her heart had turned utterly cold toward Mu Yang; the love and tenderness of the past, compared to her own son, had long since become fleeting clouds of smoke.
