Chapter 100: Human List, Rank Fifteen

The world is in chaos.

The Wu Lin Tower stands beyond the world, untainted by dust.

But even the Wu Lin Tower has its troubles; this edition of the Human List has been noisy for several days.

Jiang Renlun rubbed his temples, staring at the array of managers, clerks, and scribblers before him, all bickering back and forth in a tangled uproar.

Jiang Renlun truly felt he could no longer endure being Deputy Tower Master.

Their Wu Lin Tower, at some point, sparked

He paused, then Tong Nai added: “I need to check your progress.” He spoke with solemn righteousness.

As for the monsters they had encountered before, they had vanished completely—no monsters came to block them, and they returned to the city without hindrance.

“Brother Wuenqi, how is your body feeling now?” Mu Sa asked, clutching his hollow stomach with concern.

“My lord, spare his life!” Suddenly, someone shouted. Xue Ren Gui turned to see Luo Cheng; he immediately understood—Luo Cheng had come to plead for his brother-in-law.

“Hurry up, don’t be formal—take as many spirit stones as you want.” Li Yuyun said, then began stuffing spirit stones into her space ring.

When everyone fell silent, Gu Changqing stepped back and gestured to Su Jiu with a courteous motion.

Xue Ren Gui had already ordered the wounded soldiers to carry the corpses of all fallen troops back and had designated a specific area to build a martyrs’ cemetery for them to be honored. All martyrs’ families were granted the honorific title of Martyr’s Family and received special privileges.

“Very well, I shall go see His Majesty first and explain the full story to him. Let’s go, Eunuch Wang.” Su Jiu smiled and stepped toward the imperial palace; Luo Shi and the others followed swiftly.

The mountain folk were delighted, believing the Mountain God had accepted their offerings, and their incense offerings grew even stronger. Moreover, they voluntarily withdrew from that forest, entering only to make offerings.

For the following period, Su Jiu mostly stayed in his mansion, spending his days with Yun Yue; since his avatar was already at the academy, there was no need to go there himself.

At each of the ten arenas, Mingxue Kingdom elites stood guard, while spectators and representatives from the four nations entered the venue.

The hen seemed stunned by the beastly aura hidden within her, its head drooping stiffly, perhaps already unconscious.

Tonight was truly unusual; she felt herself fragile, utterly defenseless, reaching the edge of her endurance, and suddenly she turned her head slightly away.

“Brother Zhu, the matter you entrusted me with has made some progress, but this person may not be suitable—yet apart from him, I fear no other usable option exists.” Chang Kai spoke hesitantly.

Upon hearing Qin Chuan’s introduction, Ding the Shopkeeper paused, for the tone toward Zhu Da was not that of an adopted son, but of a close friend or brother.

Tomorrow they’ll enter the city, the day after tomorrow—once the anxious refugees and wealthy elites hear the news, they won’t be willing to pay a price just to enter; then entering the city will become ordinary, no delay, no extra cost—in strict terms, the officials have left themselves ample room.

It seems that after this matter is settled, he must speak with Luo Yu about removing the word “Two”?

The Empress Dowager had merely been testing Lan Qingqing today and had even considered drowning her in the Nine-Turn Pool, but she never expected the situation to escalate to this point—she herself nearly lost her life.

Only Guangchengzi, with his profound cultivation and the support of the Fanti Yin, could barely hold on.

Altogether, there were over thirty cultivators present, yet those at the True Origin realm amounted to no more than one-third.
