Chapter 47 Mom... Blood
Learning that the Heavenly Sword was merely breaking through its bottleneck and posed no real danger, Yan Changfeng relaxed and turned to ask the Undying Demonic Blade.
Naturally, this would take time, and he also needed to prove that he was truly a good emperor, winning the hearts of the people so that capable individuals would willingly submit to him.
The moment the Yin-fiend storm was shattered and its malevolent energy dissipated, a pitch-black, gaping maw suddenly appeared within everyone's line of sight right behind where the storm had been.
The Flag-Sealing and Decree-Sizing ceremony was a major event for the Quanzhen Sect. During the evening banquet, nearly all the Quanzhen disciples were present, numbering close to four hundred.
Although rarity increases value, and a smaller quantity might fetch a higher price per unit, even with a slight increase in price per bottle, it still wouldn't be as profitable as selling a larger volume of seasoning.
The fact that Xiang Xue was so sensitive to his words proved that she cared more and more about him. This was a good sign.
Li Xiao could not help speaking up. Having mostly recovered from his injuries, he watched Lu Qing depart with a puzzled expression.
Several Yuan family guards nearby, eager to demonstrate their loyalty in front of Han Feng, hurled fierce rebukes at Leng Qianqiu and struck first, unleashing several divine abilities simultaneously toward him.
Upon seeing that it was Chu Liyu, several court ministers naturally knew that the imperial uncle was partial to his own sister, but after all, the Dowager Consort was a concubine of the late emperor and posed no threat to the Empress, so what need was there for such harshness?
Mufan made a rough guess, yet he still could not figure out why Tachida had been chosen and abducted by the quest giver as a target.
Chu Jing was particularly furious. Considering herself closest to Liu Meng, she glared fiercely at An He, thinking it utterly contemptuous and despicable for a commoner-turned-scholar-candidate to be so sycophantic.
After a long while, she let out a long breath, stomped her feet hard on the ground, and was left utterly speechless.
Just as Muxue had said, once registration for Star-Worshiping was completed, calculating the Sacred Numbers became the main theme for the following half-month. However, disciples of many noble aristocratic families had long since made preparations; much like Qiu Ming, their calculations of the Three Sacred Numbers had already reached a state of pure mastery and exceptional precision.
Since midnight had already arrived and there were matters to attend to tomorrow, Mufan could no longer continue his immortal cultivation. Bidding farewell to Hatsune, he logged off in the town. Using his Twilight Dust account, Mufan went to the official game forum and created a post.
Seeing that the black cat was fine, Mufan had no intention of wasting time. He bade farewell to the black cat once more and then turned around.
The request made by Duan Fei was granted by Nangong Yihan. Furthermore, since Duan Fei had already confessed to abducting the Empress under Nangong Xiu's orders, both Nangong Xiu and Duan Fei would naturally be punished according to the law.
Immediately afterward, the man delivered a sharp hand-chop to the back of Li Ziyi's neck, plunging her vision into instant darkness as she fainted dead away.
The sound of snapping bones rang out, and a look of intense agony instantly surfaced on Dachun's face, his features contorting completely.
As the wine and dishes were served, Gongye Haomiao asked the innkeeper to set three pairs of bowls and chopsticks. Pouring a cup of wine, Gongye Haomiao raised it and said, "Yanran, fare thee well," before pouring it onto the ground.
Although he knew he should not resist right now, a deep-seated reflex born from long habit caused him to throw a punch at Dong Bing anyway.
Faced with such weather, Lin Yuhan remained somewhat nervous and frightened, her delicate hand tightly grasping Huang Shaohua's arm. The sudden and bizarre turn of events made Huang Shaohua reluctant to leave Lin Yuhan alone in the wooden cabin; yesterday's terrifying ordeal still haunted him.
This was partly related to why he hadn't commanded the powerhouses of the Freedom Temple to make a move sooner, but surely he couldn't vent his frustration on the experts of the Freedom Temple itself, could he?
"Why did you stop talking?" The more he refused to elaborate, the greater my curiosity grew. I decided to stick to this topic and dig deeper.
Mingtao gripped his hands tightly. "How should I console you?" Ji Xuan lowered his head, a hazy mist seemingly veering in his eyes. "Right there in Langya Commandery, after I finished drinking with you all, I ran into Qichang on the road and only then learned that Dragon Maiden had already..." He drew a deep breath, tilted his head back, and closed his eyes.
Xia Yingying said, "Why are you making such a fuss? Of course I took photos to show to Yin Chunxuh, to let him know that Du Chunxiao has already been tainted, and then make Du Chunxiao stay far away from Yin Chunxuh in the future."
Secondly, these transformed monster attacks all targeted designated survivor cities and occurred simultaneously. Since the survivor cities are scattered across the entire country, I believe the transformed monsters must be unified under a powerful organization—a terrifying entity capable of controlling or influencing the transformed monsters throughout the entire Heavenly Dynasty.
Admittedly, Emhal's defensive capability was formidable; with a force of just four thousand soldiers, it stubbornly held out against an enemy force more than ten times its size. However, once the enemy stopped focusing all their attention on Emhal and began diverting their forces along other routes, the dwarves were utterly helpless.
His face wreathed in flattering smiles, trying to numb Li Xuan's vigilance. But having already entered the mansion, Li Xuan had no intention of lingering in idle chatter; he shot out his right hand and clamped directly onto the man's throat.
"...I won't kill you. Take a good look; that Bob is no longer human." Having someone cling to his thighs felt thoroughly unpleasant, as mucus and tears were being wiped all over his trousers.
At this moment, Duke Vasalred was regrouping his remaining forces in the westernmost territory of the Pude Li Kingdom—Long-Deer Commandery. Meanwhile, the undead army was already closing in on Long-Deer Commandery.
Whenever the Prince of Jin spoke to Ulan, he kept his torso slightly bowed and his eyes cast down, avoiding direct eye contact with her. This only reinforced Ulan's impression of him as humble and courteous.
Looking back at the substitute beneath Zhang Xiao's knees, it now resembled a piece of dehydrated, sun-dried jerky, reduced to a withered husk.
Tao Yufei continued her deception, to the point where even Fang Li had never realized his senior sister could be so adept at hoodwinking people.
In that single instant, her mind raced—regarding herself, regarding the Joestar family, and regarding this ill-intentioned legend... She felt it was necessary to discuss the matter with her family members.
