Chapter 413

“Clang! Clang!”

The Black Tiger Blade repeatedly slashed against the Xuanming ice layer.

Layer upon layer of Xuanming ice shattered, shards flying in all directions.

As the Xuanming ice cracked layer by layer, Qi Yin’s delicate snake-spirit face rapidly aged, as if her life were draining away at breakneck speed.

Her eyes fixed on Xia Daoming with the venomous malice of a serpent.

A faint, strange, and dangerous aura continuously emanated from her.

Clearly, she knew this journey demanded a fight to the death.

The next day, news came that Madam Dou had suddenly fallen ill and could not travel, so Xie Shi of the second branch would oversee the journey arrangements.

“Cough… cough… It’s simple—far away yet right before your eyes. I wonder if Lord Feng is satisfied?” Feng Wuxie steadied himself, swaying his folding fan, his peach-blossom eyes brimming with mockery as he looked at Feng Yijun, feigning earnest kindness while delivering this good news.

Just as Zhou Tian retracted the Thunder Crystal Leopard, an ancient voice, wrapped in true qi, reached him from afar.

“How many in this world have pure senses and rid themselves of evil thoughts? Why am I alone, purified by Qingzhi across the Three Realms?” Luo Ying shouted at Xia Yi.

Though she screamed her accusations with all her strength, in Sang Jialing’s eyes she was nothing but a stray dog.

“The first to attack is Zhen Si from Huzhang City; the counterattacker is Su Na from Jiegao City,” the commentator announced loudly.

At that moment, Ju Liu’s eyes rolled, and he glanced toward Su Wei. On Su Wei’s back was a bundle containing a Xuantian Ice Stone and a few personal garments. Now, Ju Liu fixed his gaze on Su Wei, the closest to him.

When Wang Shasha looked at me, she seemed on the verge of speaking but held back, considering whether to change jobs. She had a mental aversion to filth and found it agonizing to work for someone like this.

As the situation spiraled out of control, Sang Wantang, like an audience member, found a vacant seat, sipping tea calmly and enjoying the spectacle.

The massive fist slammed against the broad chest like a muffled drum—full of boldness and radiating an overwhelming sense of sincerity.

Ning Xi had mentioned to her before that his imperial grandfather was a kind man, yet in matters of constructing the imperial mausoleum, his conduct bore no resemblance to that of a benevolent ruler.

From within the mountains and forests, the howls of starving wolves echoed frequently, sending cold sweat pouring down Liu Laosan’s body as he traveled.

Moreover, he was deeply dissatisfied—the feeling was utterly indescribable, and he had no idea what to say.

The man scanned the room, his gaze pausing briefly on Wada Yoshihiko’s face before settling on Lin Hai.

“You can leave on your own, or I’ll throw you out—choose,” Gu Li said calmly.

Now, learning their ways required utmost reverence; fearing the immortals and gods was something he had known since his past life.

“Ouch, it hurts so much!” He feigned falling to the ground, clutching his chest as if in excruciating pain.

The Eastern Academy consists of four schools: the Specialized School, the Film Specialized School, the Sound Specialized School, and the Tokyo Broadcasting College. The “Specialized School,” focused on theoretical disciplines and lighting technology, produces the majority of lighting technicians.

Its drawbacks are not particularly obvious—it’s average, with opportunities less abundant than the Lurking Demon’s but not as rigidly demanding as the Fallen Angel’s.

Fang Jin, hearing Su Hua relent, pressed on: “What we’ve done isn’t evil. That fat man exploited the people—we merely took back from the city governor’s mansion what rightfully belonged to the people.”

Moreover, Wang Liu was, after all, a subordinate of his grandfather Situ Tianfeng. Since his grandfather entrusted Wang Liu with matters after his death, Wang Liu’s standing in his grandfather’s eyes was clearly far from ordinary.

At Xintian’s rate of absorbing spiritual energy, consuming a single Five-Element Spirit Pearl would take nearly half a year; advancing to the Green, Blue, or Purple Rank Qi Sea Realm would require vastly more time.
