Chapter 214: The Empress

Yu Youhan glared at Chen Mo. "What nonsense are you spouting now?"

Chen Mo held the pale, snow-white foot in his hands, gently pressing his fingertips against the sole, and smiled. "Your Majesty, don't mind it—your humble servant was just joking with Secretary Xu. How could a high-ranking palace official possibly move into the Chen household?"

"A noble imperial consort is having her feet rubbed by you! What wouldn't you dare do?" Yu Youhan snorted.

"..."

Chen Mo was momentarily

Luo Yun screamed, then burst into tears, begging for mercy—until Axing simply slung her over his shoulder.

Yang Xiu firmly believed that one day, he too would become a Gathering Spirit powerhouse, soaring through the skies by his own strength.

Back in the room, Qian Dai Jueshi linked to the virtual world, simulated Jiang Xing's facial data, transmitted Jiang Xing's likeness back to the family, and sent the Star Route Map along with it.

Wang Feng silently thought to himself: these items are all so precious—even if I'm not used to them, I'll strive to change my methods until I can use them comfortably.

Seeing him silent, his expression strange and odd—not at all like jealousy—Chen Wu looked puzzled.

Several senior elders of the Gu family simultaneously showed surprise: Gu Zongnan was going to relinquish his position as head of the Gu family and sect master of Gu Jian Sect?

"You're right—it's definitely out of pity for her. Hah, I'd like to see how long Big Brother can live!" Li Shi curled her lips into a smug, malicious smile.

"Since everyone says so, thank you all—I won't join in this contest. You're all so strong; my brother and I must return to cultivation!" The crowd voiced their opinions. Su Mu smiled and stepped off the arena, and the contest sequence numbers resumed normally.

Yang Xiu instantly summoned his sword formation: array patterns materialized in all directions; six Emperor-grade spiritual treasures transformed into a six-pointed star array and surged toward the Pure Blood Demon Emperor.

"Plop"—the wooden comb arced through the air and plunged straight into the courtyard's artificial lake, sending out concentric ripples.

There were also supreme spiritual treasures; though only a few such peerless treasures existed across the cosmos, they still existed.

Because the Xiaoyao Clan's territory was so vast, it wasn't until Wen Xin, high above, spotted scattered villages far below that over ten days had passed.

"Since you all agree, I naturally have no objection." A cold glint flashed in Liu Xing's eyes; faced with such overwhelming momentum, even if his heart burned with resentment, he had no way to refute it.

The Emperor reached no conclusion on the morning court matter—Yin Shijie only returned so late because he had been discussing it with the Emperor.

As for going back to take a look? Forget it. Once you've escaped the wolf's jaws, getting out again won't be so easy.

Fang Nan's face darkened, clearly furious at Xiao Tu's arrogance—but he remembered his purpose: to block Jiang Hai's Martial Alliance from securing a top-tier seat.

Xiao Longwu's face twisted into a cruel grin; behind him, the dragon vein vanished completely, replaced by a chilling aura emanating from his palms.

The adopted disciple Xiang Mingfu was gifted beyond measure, having fully mastered the supreme martial arts of both the Great Song and Great Khitan Empires—but he loved shortcuts, lacked diligence, and would never amount to much.

Facing these powerful dead-world wraiths, Li Jiang merely smiled faintly. Before this, he might have worried how to deal with them—perhaps even using the Devouring Demon Lotus or invoking the Heavenly Sword Dao he learned at the Tianshan Sect in the Southern Frontier.

Chen Langya watched the scene before him coldly. If the pain of losing a finger could make him quit gambling forever, Chen Langya believed even losing a hand would be worth it. It wasn't that he was cruel—this kind of person would never learn unless given a brutal lesson.

At the final moment, she would sacrifice herself without hesitation to protect the other team members' advance. Compared to him, their captain, Hua Liansuo's performance this time was truly remarkable.
