31. The Heavenly Court: Three Traitors

After watching from the city wall for a while, Lin Mu flew directly back to the transport aircraft. Exhausted from the high-intensity work of the past few days, he was on the verge of a breakthrough and needed to properly adjust his state to prepare for the next level.

"Welcome!" Zhang Wei sprinted from the ship's bridge to the deck.

Seeing the white horse being restrained, Lu Bu strode forward. The red horse watched the white horse with concern just as Lu Bu prepared to swing himself into the saddle.

It was only when the phoenix, wreathed in soul-chilling purple flames, dove straight down toward Lin Fei that the audience snapped out of their stupor. Trapped in a moment of infinite murderous intent, they broke into a cold sweat that soaked their backs.

The other party marveled at the sight, and Ye Feng was also surprised. Why was the Peach Blossom Saint Assembly being held here?

This was the first time I had heard the mysterious expert's voice. It sounded like a beating drum, carrying an extremely domineering pressure that, the moment it appeared, slammed ruthlessly against my heart.

At this moment, Lin Mu's mental strength had increased significantly, his detection range breaking through to three hundred meters. However, compared to his new method of control, this distance was negligible.

A burst of red light erupted behind us, instantly engulfing the three of us and spreading into the distance.

Jin Ling, Bei Baifa, and Zhao Guangcheng all looked grim. Was this arrogant posturing meant to show that they had the Zhuxian Sacred Academy cornered?

"One should show mercy when possible. You have already defeated Wan Jinghong; to deliver a killing blow is far too heartless," Xu Wu Sheng said calmly to Wu Tian.

The Fire Hawk spirit beast agreed, taking many barbecue spices from its storage bracelet and infusing them into the demon insect's body using its magical power.

Sauron watched as his subordinate was bitten in two. At the same time, he spotted the white dragon trying to escape outside the mist. He did not know what spell it had used, but it had somehow silenced the sound of its own movement.

However, Wang Ju had never commissioned the development of new looms, and the reason was simple: to protect the Li people. It was not out of affection for the Li, but because many Li tribesmen in Lingnan made a living through Li cloth. If a new type of loom were developed—especially one spearheaded by the state-run Cotton Bureau—it would be promoted rapidly, and many Li tribesmen would suffer.

Combining Xia Jingjun's vanishing act with the unique quality of the bone blade, Tang Xinjia and Pan Zhuoxing finally confirmed that the rumors of "breaking through the void" were true.

Any research requirement during the Arcane Empire era was extremely high; it was impossible for anyone below the legendary level of spellcasting to meet the standards.

In truth, she should have realized sooner that there were no spirit beasts on the second floor, but her focus had been entirely on the Lu Ba Cauldron, causing her to overlook this anomaly.

Consequently, by not imposing harsh taxes on the people, the state increased its revenue, allowing the imperial court to implement various benevolent policies, including the gradual reduction of the dual-tax system.

Sima Guang and the others turned pale with fright. This was not just a demotion—being demoted was one thing, but to be exiled overseas, and to a place inhabited by cannibals at that?

Both Martial God Realms were developing well and were not entirely closed off; this was the norm for most martial worlds, as closed realms were ultimately detrimental to the development of sects.

Upon arriving, he noticed the patrol guards looked a bit panicked, though it did not seem like a major issue.

He thought as much, but since the Golden Crow had already descended, it would not pretend to leap back onto the giant rock.

Meanwhile, the White Crane emitted a strong white light, forming a three-element barrier together with the two elders.

Seeing Nangong Jinghong's aggrieved expression, Ye Jinmu remained unmoved, her demeanor unchanged.

However, for an opponent capable of freely manipulating high speeds, there was no need to understand the mysteries of the Extreme Sword Technique she wielded. Speed gained through external forces naturally followed constant laws under the influence of heaven and earth energy; one could easily discern her inevitable landing point for maintaining or increasing speed by observing the energy flow.

The expression on Feng Luxhui's face froze instantly, her eyes flickering. Lan Di said nothing, and Zhao, standing to the side, did not interrupt. None of the three had been raised in a Xuan sect, but they naturally understood the implications behind those words.

Although they held no affection for Ye Jinmu, she was, after all, the person Yu Yan loved.

"Hard to understand, right? I couldn't grasp it before either, but now I know what it means," Zheng Shaoyu said.

"Exactly! Since you already know my current strength, Master, why won't you agree to let me participate in the monthly exam?" Jian Yi immediately struck while the iron was hot.

With Monica secured, half the casting for the film was complete. For the male lead, the youth and middle-aged periods held equal weight, though the youth period appeared more critical.

Jian Yi, who had been quite arrogant in the air just a moment ago, suddenly seemed to be struck by something, crashing straight into the ground with a loud thud.

"Almost means you didn't kill her; in the end, you didn't go completely wrong," Gou Dan said, patting him on the shoulder.

The teary-eyed youth Gou Dan nearly ran out of tears, throwing himself at the feet of Manager Li and refusing to get up.

"I won't listen! Hmph!" Luo Tianqi had already buried his head, stubbornly refusing to look up no matter how much he was called.

After hearing Xu Ke's report, Yang Tonghe also believed this matter had only benefits and no drawbacks, so he tacitly approved. The Changsheng faction had already decided to abandon Yang Tonghe, so naturally, they did not tell him or his associates that Tianyi was highly favored by the Emperor.

The third-ranked Immortal Venerable of the Immortal World cursed as he pleased, and his final shout of "Battle!" resounded through the heavens and earth. For a time, the Xiaoyun Immortal Mansion was in an uproar, and the puppies raised by the Xiaoyun Immortal Venerable all swarmed toward the entrance.
