Chapter 191: You Didn't Call Me That Before

Yuan Province.

Li Family Walled Fortress.

Because of Li Chong, the Longxi Li clan ranks alongside the four great surnames of Guandong—Cui, Lu, Zheng, and Wang—as one of the Five Great Surnames.

As the world's foremost aristocratic family, its terrifying foundation lies not only in its members occupying high posts in Luoyang and its disciples and former officials spreading throughout the court and the countryside, but also in its numerous branches, with power extending to every corner of the realm.

The Longxi Li clan alone has branches in Pingliang, Guzang, and Dunhuang within Longxi. Locally, walled fortresses connect, and tenant

"Hoo!" As I was thinking, the mutated giant python moved. I had been prepared; my bone wings flapped once more, retreating several meters toward the roadside, while the bone spikes in my right hand shot over a dozen projectiles straight at its eyes.

What surprised Lin Yun most again was that now, as soon as he moved his body, power would flow endlessly within him, even smoother than at the very beginning.

He pinched out the cigarette butt in his hand, flicked it from his fingernail, and it landed precisely in the trash bin by the roadside. He stood tall, waiting for us to approach.

Three sword glints flashed past: Li Zhongtian, Li Cailian, and Zheng Yiyang, three experts at the Return-to-Truth realm. Their cultivation reached the heavens; before anyone could snap out of their daze, they had vanished. The sky, which moments ago had been roaring with fierce battle, suddenly fell silent once more.

The advance of multiple great armies from the Far East naturally drew crowds of ordinary commoners, but upon seeing armored vehicles with eight large wheels and iron-plated bodies, the common people were so frightened they shut their doors and refused to come out, for they had seen monsters; moreover, this iron beast belched black smoke from its rear.

"Sss!" Lin Yun sucked in a cold breath. Over fifty Dragon-War Emperors—this force could level an entire empire. The Holy Temple had accumulated such power over so many years!

By now, he had made his decision: if absolutely necessary, he would forcibly disperse his divine sense pressure to utterly crush the cultivators' spirits. Whether he would afterward faint into unconsciousness, truly die from being overwhelmed, or be burned to death by flying insects next was something he no longer had time to consider.

As his passionate kiss moved lower, my deep longing was awakened by him. I gripped his back, trembling all over with excitement.

I guessed it certainly wasn't anything good. Worrying that Lin Lin would be left with psychological trauma, I hurriedly gave a warning and carried Lin Lin away a bit.

Chen Dongsheng now treats the Lin family like a protected national animal; his sudden outbursts make Chen Yu's scalp go numb, and now he won't even let the Yu family enter the door.

"Mongoose, stop at once!" Liu Wuyou looked coldly at the mongoose spirit attacking Bai Su and said in a chilling voice.

With the master-disciple ceremony thus concluded, the most important segment was over. Xi Yu gave a few instructions to Ju Qi and the steward, then directly canceled the remaining segments.

Having finished speaking, Nan Gong Muyu lifted the bowl before him and buried his head to eat. Only after Long Qi saw him withdraw his gaze did she retract her displeased look, picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up a piece of braised pork, placed it into Jiu Yue's bowl, and spoke with a gentle expression.

If she discovered it, she would surely mock herself for being over thirty and yet dependent on a brat, her mind clearly broken. Yet the truth was exactly so; this transformation was something she had not noticed at all.

Luo Hongxuan soared into the sky, raised his hand and beckoned. The ghost sword flew to his hand; the ghost sword cleaved the void, and a blade formed of black flames slashed toward the giant dragon.

The river water was ink-black; a monster resembling a flood-dragon thrashed within it, occasionally whipping out a scaled tail several zhang long to strike the cliffside, then suddenly rearing up and roaring, sucking into its mouth all creatures falling from the mountain along with boulders as large as millstones.

"Since that is the case, then I should stay." Having said this, he actually turned and walked back toward the bedside.

The loss of Zitong meant Dong Zhuo's great army could arrive at the city walls at any moment. Upon learning the news, Liu Fan, Liu Zhang, and others were immediately filled with dread and fear.

"Lord Shenxin, how can this be?" Uncle Chai wore a look of utter shock. From the moment Gu Yifeng helped him up, Uncle Chai still felt a lingering sense of unease in his heart.
