Chapter 713: Bearing the Wind

Chi Ji, Nie Shangheng, leader of the Eight Steeds of Mount Tian, is always the first name mentioned when speaking of Tian Shan’s rise in the martial world.

He ranks eighth, yet is merely thirty-one this year—among the top ten of the Crane List, he is among the youngest; apart from Qi Ye of the Hai Ruo lineage in Beihai Prefecture, aged twenty-nine, only the Young Sword Lord is younger.

Excluding those who always lurk beyond the world’s gaze in the Heavenly Tower, this is among the very few in all under heaven.

The golden skin on his wrist did not crack, but its golden luster immediately dimmed, the Pure Crystal Buddha Light gone.

This practice is most common in modern clothing, yet in this era it is a groundbreaking invention.

She was adopted by Jing Yu, while Jing Yang was reclaimed by the Jing family but lost his memory, and afterward, in despair, he went abroad to become a mercenary.

With this sliver of spiritual power, any slight change beneath the sea would reach Ying Xiao Wo, even from afar.

“Is he a disciple of the Evil Emperor? Or… is he the Evil Emperor reincarnated?” Wang Yuanchun of the Great Feng Empire exclaimed in alarm.

Chu Lingxi listened to the conversation and learned that they could take half a day off this afternoon; Jiamu and Lin Ze planned to take the three young ladies on a tour of Chang’an.

The former headmaster neither restrained nor encouraged, but explicitly forbade students in the experimental class from participating. Now that a new headmaster has taken over, no one knows how this year’s policy will change.

In the Shenming realm, Yin Xian immediately reconsidered—gold coins from the God of Wealth were never easy to obtain; no wonder he dared not go himself and waited for the Southern Dipper Star Lord to emerge from seclusion. Could this Southern Dipper Star Lord have some extraordinary lineage?

The other two zones were still methodically clearing their areas, while the sound of massive explosions continued; both sides grew uneasy, repeatedly glancing toward Gao Ning’s direction, and simultaneously dispatched scouts to investigate.

Yet Feng Lin proved useless, always botching things, rendering her painstaking efforts utterly futile.

Moreover, Zhiyi’s reputation has now spread nationwide; in just two short years since its founding, it has achieved so much—far surpassing his Qu family.

This was a reasonable request; Qu Qingqing had no reason to refuse. But Xi Zhiyi, clearly ignored entirely, was far from pleased.

A look of compassionate sorrow slowly spread across his face—whether for himself or for her, he could not say. He lifted her by the waist, carried her behind the screen, and tossed her onto the sitting couch in the partition, then wordlessly unfastened his robes and pressed down upon her.

Shan Shan was startled not only by his formidable strength, but also by his exceptional lightness skill—even surpassing hers.

But look at the sand prices at Hongyun Group now: fine sand has risen to 140 per cubic meter, medium sand to 170, coarse sand to 200. Though they include transportation, each truck is 1,500 higher than here at Qin Shi Huang’s.

“What does Coach Mo want us to do?” Ke Yuan Dao thought more deeply than Ke Yuan Ya, so he was even calmer than her.

Now that he had seen Chu Yu, her presence here was no surprise—but thinking of what he had done to her, he grew uneasy, even fearful, afraid that Shan Shan might fly into a rage and end him.

So what Qin Shi Huang most wanted to do now was to meet He Hui—if they could have lunch together at noon, even better.

Because Qu Qingqing could not see the path, she let Gao Yunsha lead her blindly, stumbling along so badly she could barely walk; frustrated, Gao Yunsha angrily dropped her right onto the ground.

Thinking of this, Ye Yi closed his eyes and sensed inwardly. After a long while, he detected the hidden inferior Wind Spirit Root buried within his body. He opened his eyes again, face alight with astonishment—he had never imagined this inferior Wind Spirit Root was concealed, yet it still allowed him to sense spiritual energy in the heavens and earth.

Bai Ling also frowned, for she had received no news either. To conceal it from Bai Zheng, she used special channels to obtain information from Bai City Hall—surely foolproof—but now something was amiss; so much time had passed, yet no word had come out.
