Qi Lao could have used the Tian Shang Guild for revenge, but he didn’t—proving the Tian Shang Guild had no right to challenge the Divine Source Forbidden Zone, and Qi Lao didn’t want to drag the Guild into danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Daoist lineage’s Dao Body, Spirit Body, or protective talismans and spells, the Ghost Sect’s Battle Body consumes no true qi or magical power, making it an eternal baseline attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stranger arriving in town, persistently inquiring about old matters, grain prices, and annual harvests, looked exactly like a tax collector from the prefecture still unwilling to give up—or like a smuggler trading grain near the border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Maoxian surveyed the room; a faint, lingering sandalwood incense filled the air. The chamber was eerily quiet, as if separated from the outside world by an entirely different realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Feng Qian felt a chill run down his scalp at the sight of the black ‘hole,’ a cold draft prickling his back—thankfully, no strange sounds emerged from within; otherwise, Luo Ting and Fang Yujia surely wouldn’t have dared stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a top expert professor in the field of biology, though he couldn’t fully grasp Qin Chen’s ‘concept of life,’ extracting the spirit fluid should still be straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was time to return; though the cages of the two red-faced parrots were covered with cotton cloth for warmth and wind protection, the autumn wind was still biting—staying outside too long would be unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the cultivators of Zi Qi Continent also learned of this matter, for Feng Qian had returned to Zi Qi Continent and immediately sent a voice transmission to all cultivators there, ordering every one who had completed the Cycle of Rebirth to travel to Zhongji Province to absorb Divine Source energy and ascend to Mythic status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Caw! You? Forget it—if you can’t even endure this little hardship, how will you ever find a boyfriend?” it squawked loudly, then flew up to the highest shelf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could that be? I love everything you eat!” His desperate survival instinct made him surrender completely, showing not the slightest sign of resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Guoshi Wushuang Zhao Jing didn’t know how to speak—whom were they striking? This was the moment when the Holy Sect’s long-hidden forces fully surfaced, yet even the enemy’s identity remained unknown, leaving this strategist who never missed a move feeling deeply uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensible Nannan was at a loss, but still imitated the adults, gently patting Li Fu Ren’s back to comfort her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ten-meter radius of open space formed around the cart, and Cheng Dalei drove the cart outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Fenxi stared at Mu Tian in surprise; burning down a palace meant little. She had been stunned earlier by the power of the fire wall—likely, many elite pseudo-faction cultivators had been struck dead by direct hits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he thought County Magistrate was about to hand him the jade pendant as a sign of commitment, County Magistrate’s next words plunged him from elation to despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>County Magistrate cursed himself for moving too slowly, slowly turning to face Bai Linyun, who was running toward him, and forcing a awkward smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Linyun and Ling Qingxi entered their room; after glancing at the decor, Ling Qingxi complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feeling better? Shall I help you upstairs?” Concern made Ke Xiao forget everything else; seeing her discomfort, he had no other thought but to ease her pain. Though reluctant, he still suggested she go upstairs to rest immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>",730,"2026-06-19T22:30:32.558Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","722c93c52605de07c1b34e038c1880cbb5f3f69c9f91e11fd4f71c81c6839866","thirteen-years-as-king-of-the-great-song-i-learn-chapter-269","thirteen-years-as-king-of-the-great-song-i-learn-chapter-267",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthirteen-years-as-king-of-the-great-song-i-learn-cover.jpg"]
