Chapter 268: Making a Move

The commotion outside the courtyard took half a day to cease; the Changchun Hall examined the old Daoist and found no issue, then turned to go to his home for further inspection.

Seeing this, the old Daoist grew anxious, muttering incessantly as he followed behind; Meng thus stopped pretending.

Zhao Ti fell silent for a moment, just about to enter the kitchen, when he saw Zhong Ling emerge cautiously from inside the room.

Her cheeks were flushed; seeing Zhao Ti, she quickly lowered her head: "Your Highness, return to your room to rest; I will fetch water and cook."

Zhao Ti said:

The theater owner had heard somewhat of the Four Young Masters of Jingcheng; today's punishment by Chang Heyang was still lenient. In the past, if such an incident occurred, one would not die but would still lose a layer of skin.

Feng Qian understood clearly: since Elder Qi stated the Divine Source Forbidden Land was extremely powerful, it must be so. Elder Qi could have used the Tian Shang Merchant Guild for revenge, but he did not, proving the Tian Shang Merchant Guild lacked the qualification to contend with the Divine Source Forbidden Land; Elder Qi did not wish to implicate the Tian Shang Merchant Guild.

Compared to the Dao Body or Spirit Body of the Daoist lineage, or protective magical treasures and spells, the Ghost Sect's War Body requires no consumption of true essence or magical power, counting as an eternal base attribute.

A stranger arriving in the city, persistently probing into old matters, asking grain prices, then asking about annual harvests, looked exactly like a tax collector sent by the prefecture who refused to give up, or like a treacherous merchant trading grain near the border.

Xu Maoxian surveyed the place; a faint sandalwood scent drifted through the room. This room was so quiet, as if it were a completely different world from the outside.

Even Feng Qian, looking at that black 'hole', felt his scalp tingle and his back grow cold. Fortunately, no eerie sound emerged from the black 'hole'; otherwise, Luo Ting and Fang Yujia certainly would not have dared to stay here?

As a top expert professor in the biological field, although he might not fully comprehend the 'concept of life' expounded by Qin Chen, extracting the spiritual liquid should not be difficult.

However, it was time to return. Although cotton cloth covered the cages of these two red-faced parrots to shield them from wind and cold, the autumn wind was bleak; staying outside for too long would be unbearable.

At the same time, the Spirit Practitioners on the Ji Ziqi Continent also learned of this matter, because Feng Qian had already returned to the Ji Ziqi Continent and immediately transmitted his voice to all Spirit Practitioners on the Ji Ziqi Continent, ordering all Spirit Practitioners whose reincarnation had reached completion to proceed to the Central Pole State to absorb the Divine Source Qi and ascend to Myth.

"Gaga! You? Better forget it. If you cannot endure even this little hardship, how can you find a boyfriend?" it shouted loudly and flew to the highest shelf.

"How could that be? I love everything you eat!" The surging survival instinct within made him cowardly and decisive, showing not the slightest sign of struggle.

Only Zhao Jing, the Peerless Statesman, did not know how to speak. Who exactly were they fighting this time? This was the moment when the forces of the Holy Gate, long lying in wait, truly surfaced in their entirety, yet he did not even know who the opponent was, leaving him, the Peerless Statesman who calculated without error, feeling somewhat bitter.

The sensible Nuan Nuan was somewhat at a loss, but still imitated the adults, reaching out to gently pat Lady Li's back to offer comfort.

Centering on the carriage, a space of about ten meters was cleared; Cheng Dalei drove the carriage outward in a charge.

Xuan Fenxi looked at Mu Tian in surprise. Burning down a palace was nothing; she had been stunned by the power of the fire wall earlier. If a master from a false faction had been struck head-on, they would likely have been killed long ago.

But just as he thought Zhi Yan was properly handing over the jade pendant to him, Zhi Yan's next words took him from great joy to great sorrow.

Zhi Yan hated that he had walked too slowly. He slowly turned around and smiled awkwardly at Bailin Yun, who was running toward him.

Bailin Yun and Ling Qingxi arrived at his room. Glancing at the room's decorations, Ling Qingxi complained.

"Are you feeling better? Shall I take you upstairs?" Concern leads to chaos; seeing her distressed state, Ke Xiao had no other thoughts, wanting only for her to feel better. Though reluctant, he proposed that she go upstairs to rest immediately.
