Chapter 177

Ximen Wudi: "..."

How the hell does that even work?

He clicked his tongue inwardly.

He took in the look on Li Taibai's face.

The speechless Ximen Wudi understood in an instant.

Good lord.

So after all that talking,

you just came here to show off?!

But the thing is, before you show off, could you at least find a decent target to show off to?

Such heavy taste.

Did you come here to show off?

Or to disgust people?

He rolled his eyes in annoyance.

As if he didn't want to see that cheap expression on his face.

Ximen Wudi gave a light snort, deliberately exaggerated his expression, and spoke.

"Is it possible... I mean, just possible, that old man could only find ugly ones, because the pretty ones wouldn't give him the time of day?"

The thing you fear most is the sudden silence in the air....

Once these words were spoken,

the already quiet hall instantly fell so silent you could hear a pin drop!

And Li Taibai, hearing these words,

the smile on his face froze in an instant.

His whole body went rigid, rooted to the spot.

The man was completely dumbfounded.

One breath.... two breaths.... three breaths....

Time passed, second by second.

After quite a while,

Li Taibai finally came back to his senses.

Recalling the old man's plain attire at the time,

his whole body gave a tremendous shudder.

His pupils instantly dilated!

His face turned deathly pale, drained of all color.

Even his lips couldn't stop trembling slightly.

With vacant eyes, he staggered.

For a moment, he was so struck that he could barely stand steady.

"It's nothing, just a small matter."

"Turn off the lights, close your eyes, and every last one of them is a little fairy."

Ximen Wudi reached out and patted his shoulder

barely holding back his laughter, and twisted the knife.

Then, without looking back, he drifted gracefully out of the hall.

Pfft!

Li Taibai's heart clenched.

He raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle to gaze at the sky.

Two streams of clear tears silently slid down his cheeks.

That look,

was just short of pointing at his own chest and saying, 'It hurts here, wooooo....'

The story splits into two threads.

Dali.

Being a small country to begin with,

after the Eternal Spring Valley, the Fountain of Youth, and the scriptures were all exposed by the Heavenly Dao Golden List,

it instantly became bustling.

The streets were full of hurried martial artists.

Making the surrounding inns rake in a fortune.

Countless inn and teahouse shopkeepers wore smiling expressions on their faces.

And after these days of searching,

quite a bit of news had indeed broken out.

Every single time,

it would attract countless martial artists to rush in one after another.

Unfortunately,

not a single piece of news was true.

But even so,

The martial artists were still all happy to accept it.

Afraid that by not going, they would miss the real opportunity at Eternal Spring Valley!

At the same moment.

The Dali Imperial Palace.

Looking at the three factions seated before him.

Sensing the invisible gunpowder in the air.

Duan Zhengming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart filled with relief.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, he had listened to Master Kurong.

He had not set his sights on Eternal Spring Valley.

Otherwise.

Whether he obtained it or not.

The Dali Kingdom probably could not have withstood the wrath of the three great top-tier imperial courts: Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang!

Let alone the countless top martial world factions among them.

"I presume my purpose for coming is clear to you."

"One word — will you help or not?!"

At this moment.

The middle-aged man in battle armor, seated at the head, demanded in an icy tone.

As he spoke.

A towering, sinister murderous intent flickered in his eyes.

Making one's heart involuntarily shudder!

Even the temperature in the hall.

Dropped sharply because of those words!

And behind him.

Stood Lord Donghuang, Bei Mingzi, and Xunzi.

Each of their strengths was terrifying beyond compare, jaw-dropping!

The sheer might and grandeur of the lineup was plain to see!

Duan Zhengming's whole body trembled.

He looked left and right with a troubled expression.
