Chapter 138: Advance

Zhang Yaoying was the first to speak. “We local officials also ask Your Highness to put the greater good first.”

With Zhang Yaoying taking the lead, Xiong Hongzhi and Du Yuanwu also stepped forward.

Then more and more ministers came forward, repeating words such as, “We ask Your Highness to put the greater good first.”

Shi Lei, Su Qi, and the others remained silent throughout...

These spirits and monsters were all disciples of the Old Ancestor Whitebrow, devoted to the pursuit of the Dao and immortality under the guidance of the Great Immortal. But after the flying beast demons descended upon this place, they slaughtered wantonly and fought over territory, leaving the spirits and monsters nowhere to settle. In the end, they had no choice but to complain to their immortal master, the Old Ancestor Whitebrow.

As matters stood now, Xuan Wanqing had yet to appear, while on the side of Xuanyang City, one Saint had still not made a move.

Dugu Shuqin also frowned, drew her long sword, and began to whirl it swiftly, her blade moving like dragons and serpents.

But to his disappointment, his opponent neither dodged nor retreated. With a resolute gaze, he brought his weapon straight down, displaying the ruthless determination of someone prepared to have both sides suffer grievous injury.

The boss said, “Hmph. Do you really think pointing a gun at him means I can’t deal with you?” As he spoke, he aimed his own gun at the lackey.

“In days of yore, we went forth amid willows green and lush. Now we return through falling rain and drifting snow...” Xianyun’s voice was calm and melodious, lingering like a fading echo.

“I kneel before you!” Huangfu Yichen and Zilong looked at Lang Xihai with utter disdain and said nothing. What choice was there? A blade was already pressed against him. Lang Xihai’s usual style was simple: if something could be settled with violence, he absolutely would not waste words.

Guo Nianfei stood five paces away from me, accompanied by quite a few others. The one who looked somewhat like him was probably his younger brother, Zilong. I already knew Qi Wu and Huangfu Yichen, more or less. There was also a fellow carrying a Japanese samurai sword, but I truly could not remember who he was. Could Guo Nianfei really have joined forces with someone from that island nation?

The woman wore a violet dress. Her skin was as white as snow and as smooth as frost. Long purple hair fell to her waist, shimmering with an enchanting luster. Her collarbones were delicate, her shoulders slender, and her figure tall and graceful. Her alluring curves were fully outlined by the close-fitting violet dress, radiating a bewitching charm that left everyone present momentarily dazed.

Why was I feeling stirred by her? No. She was going through a difficult time now. How could I possibly fall for her? No, no, no.

Still, this enormous black boar was adorably cute and remarkably docile. Seeing it always put Qi Tang completely at ease.

His sleeve suddenly snapped upward. With a whoosh, a sinister wind rose from nowhere and blew toward us.

The Li Changhuai of this world had probably never experienced warmth, which was why his manner of doing things was so cold, hard, and decisive.

The immense fortune was plainly right before him, within arm’s reach. He had thought it over from every angle, and all he could feel was that this fortune belonged to him.

Azure Luan Phoenix Slash: Active skill. All attacks are guaranteed critical hits. Strikes the target six times, with the damage doubling each time.

On closer inspection, one could see that Su Yan was also shrouded in a terrifying aura of bloodlust. His eyes held nothing but overwhelming murderous intent.

When confronted by Mu Yinyin, the paparazzo hesitated. Seeing this, Mu Yinyin applied several more pounds of force, making him howl in pain.

Sang Qian met his gaze for two seconds before turning away uneasily. When he looked at someone with such unwavering seriousness, his eyes carried too much intensity, easily creating the illusion that he was gazing at them with deep affection.

Song’s mother said softly, “They went out. They must have gone off to play. I have to say, these four are quite the little rascals.”

She had succeeded. The burning flames generated wind, dispersing much of the stagnant mist around them. The surrounding scenery suddenly came into clear view.

Most striking of all were the houses and shops lining both sides of the street, all built from simple, unadorned wooden frames. From time to time, a trembling hawker’s cry echoed from some corner or alley.

In the next instant, Jin Yun saw the silver-white radiance around Xue Lin’s body gather into a gigantic Great Derivation Rat, with Xue Lin concealed within it.
