Chapter 24: Extermination

Early in the morning, Shen Qiuning, fully dressed and prepared, rushed to knock on Xu Zirui’s door.

"Xu Zirui! Get up! We still have one form left to learn today."

Xu Zirui opened the door, his eyes heavy with sleep. "Coming, coming, I'm coming right now."

The Moon Form, first and foremost, requires a state of mind—stillness, tranquility, and purity.

"Let us meditate first to calm our minds," Xu Zirui said, pulling Shen Qiuning to sit and meditate beneath a tree.

The two sat there for two hours. During this time, Shen...

Based on Chen Shen’s experience thus far, the techniques provided by the system had never been wrong; as long as they were studied thoroughly, they could be replicated in reality.

Xun Yi naturally could not hear what she was saying, but seeing her exasperated appearance only made him find her more amusing.

The many factions that had originally surrounded the Hong family caught sight of Jun Moxiao’s figure, and a moment later, they roared and charged toward the Hong family.

Even in the modern world, I had never seen such a natural and spectacular hot spring. Most importantly, the water was clean, which was truly delightful.

Back in the room, Yu Nuonuo prepared to wash the robe she had kicked into a corner yesterday. She had been impulsive yesterday; thinking back, it was wrong of her to lose her temper at Bai Chi after he had already been splashed with tea.

Da Ya and Er Ya were indeed well-raised; as soon as they finished eating, they hurried to help Yu Nuonuo clear the bowls and chopsticks, while Yu Nuonuo took the children and Su Yueshi to carry the fabric.

Exhilarating—if one had to use one word to describe his state at this very moment, it would be exhilarating.

Lu Jianming didn't even have his trousers on, Ye Yaohua and Yuan Rongxin had applied adhesive bandages, Meng Han had at most tied on a scrap of cloth, and Wang Nuo… was drinking a beverage on the shore.

Hong Guangbiao, at the late stage of the sixth rank of the Spirit Master realm, had been killed with a single punch; how could these individuals at the third, fourth, and fifth ranks of the Spirit Master realm possibly escape? Furthermore, having consumed too much spiritual energy to maintain the Wind Curse Formation, they were truly like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Brother Su! It’s only seven days, isn't it? The spiritual energy here is quite abundant; there is no need to sleep. At a time like this, don't worry about preserving your health!" Xie Tian'en patted Su Mu’s shoulder and said with a smile.

An emperor is, after all, an emperor. Although Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Gao Qiu maintained control of the government, they still dared not touch what the emperor held dear.

His heart was filled with a chill. Such a cruel scene had occurred so unexpectedly; no one knew how those supernatural entities had managed it, or for what purpose.

Seeing Wang Jianfei dressed in his official robes, Wang Gui became even more respectful. After speaking, he lowered his head, waiting for Wang Jianfei’s affirmation.

"No, brother, you cannot take her life. Let me go instead." Lian Hua flashed before Catherine, spreading her arms to block her.

After saying this, without waiting for the two to ask, Jiang Han explained the Heart of the Celestial Realm and the potential appearance of a Tribulation-stage treasure-guarding beast.

Feeling the ground shake as a mass of roots burst through, Li Yang’s hand, gripping the Yuanliang Sword, was already slick with sweat. He stood stiff and upright, not daring to move.

"Brother Lei Heng, may I ask you a question?" Zhu Tong, holding back a surge of emotion in his heart, decided to guide Lei Heng toward enlightenment.

At noon, the sun finally appeared. Although there were water stains on the ground, they sparkled bit by bit under the sunlight, and the air was exceptionally fresh.

Lu Ping also smiled slightly. In this era, formalities were taken very seriously; one only needed to go through the motions, and there was no need for any real substance.

And so, it became what it is now: Lou Ruojin’s position as Prime Minister grew more secure, and his power rose to be second only to the Emperor and above all others.

Situ Lang was overjoyed, feeling that Shui Yiren was incredibly sensible—she gave him exactly what he wanted. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a sharp shout.

Leaving this cold, harsh sentence behind, Mu Yongjun strode out of the room. Perhaps because he had no other way to vent his burning rage, he slammed the door shut with a loud crash as he left.

"Eat, just eat. This bowl has no chili." Shui Yiren moved the noodles toward Yun Haotian’s lips again. Helpless, Yun Haotian complied with her request, opening his mouth to take the noodles she offered.
