27 The Sword-Bearded Elder Arrives in Person

"Heh heh, Brother Huang, don't worry. I guarantee I'll have them all lying in the hospital," the lackey promised, patting his chest.

"I know. I've already sent people to scout the situation in advance, and I've given the necessary orders. There should be news by tomorrow, so you can rest easy!" Cao Cao began, only to be interrupted once more by Ya Dai.

Ye Tian held the card with a helpless expression, but just as he was at his wits' end, the card projected a 3D hologram.

Yun Hao nodded in satisfaction, tossed a pill he had prepared earlier to the other party, and said in a loud voice.

Su Chen took the peach. He was the strongest of the four; even when Qi Yue exerted all his strength, he could only crack it slightly. Only Su Chen could break it open.

"It seems this Zhao Kuo is quite interesting," Ye Tian said with a smile, stroking his chin as a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

The Great Elder did not even lift his eyelids, appearing as if he were asleep, yet his clear voice resonated throughout the empty room.

After all, he had just fought a fierce battle against the Demon Blade Maiden and his stamina was significantly depleted. If he could avoid the battle ahead, that would be for the best.

"Nine mysterious stone statues guarding nine Star Grasses—the design here is truly ingenious and peerless," Ling Tian sighed with heartfelt admiration.

They encountered several ambushes along the way, but thanks to Chen Jin using the Seven-Character Mantra spell in time, the remaining members of the Sunflower Field family managed to survive.

Since he was called a "rustic man," he would show him what it meant to be rustic and reckless. Tang Shan had come from the countryside, so he did not care about such labels.

Tang Shan did not hold high hopes for these people; after all, it was Tang Muqing’s idea.

Xicheng Shi had intended to explain the current situation, but he had not expected the White Mist Goddess and the others to react so quickly.

This guy really gave me a fright. Not far from the greenery by the back door was a ledge, and below that ledge were several trash cans.

It was precisely because, even with money, they lacked the channels or opportunities to purchase the medicinal pills they needed in their daily lives.

Looking at the pitch-black space all around, it seemed as if there were no sense of direction, as if he were floating; yet, strangely, one could walk here just as one would on solid ground.

Due to the palace coup a century ago, the present-day Buckingham Palace was no longer the Buckingham Palace of the 21st century, but had become a thoroughly old-fashioned English-style palace.

However, he felt he was helping Huo Tingshen. If Huo Tingshen entered the Li family, he would be entangled with a bunch of bloodsuckers clinging to him, which was simply disgusting.

Yun Qingyue knew that Su Ziyun, like Wu Tianxu, had bet that she wouldn't dare to make a move. She was not a person easily provoked, but if she didn't act now, Wu Tianxu would only become more overbearing.

Tang Xinru finished speaking, but Tang Shan listened with a bored expression. Did she really need to explain these things to him one by one?

Two cold glints streaked across the sky, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as they shot toward the center of the straw target.

Hua Lu had once guessed the true nature of the relationship between Qin Yang and Lan Yuan and had even sought confirmation from Lan Yuan. When she learned they were indeed just friends, she couldn't help but recount everything Qin Yang had said at the time to Lan Yuan, who was moved to tears.

The matter of the Snake-Catching Master was basically settled. Next was the problem of how to resolve Old Mai's death. Although Professor Damu’s side didn't need to be dealt with for the moment and Liao Mu was in a good mood, a life had been lost, after all. He still kept a stern face, pondering how to report it to his superiors, as the man had died right under his nose.

Under normal circumstances, even if such a thing happened right in front of Li Yuan, he wouldn't lift a finger. But tonight was different. On a night without taxis, bored and looking for something to do, he didn't mind putting on a show of "hero saves the beauty," even if he was nowhere near being a "hero."

Wang Xian gave a mocking laugh and performed the Ancestor's Borrowed Power. Behind him appeared the image of an ancestor wearing a tall crown, who let out a roar toward the front.

An iron ruler was pushed through the gap in the door, gently fiddling with the bolt. It was likely his first time picking a lock, as the iron ruler poked around for a long time without success. Li Si rolled his eyes—was this all the skill he had to show off? He reached out and gave a gentle tug in the direction the iron ruler was moving from the outside.

Tang Hao’s eyes were fixed unblinkingly on the dragon bone above the purple-black flames. Half of the bone was inside the inner flame, already having formed the preliminary shape of a staff, while the other part remained in the outer flame, still unmelted.

"Forget it, you may step down. From today on, go back to being a garrison officer," Duan Qirui sighed and said slowly.

According to the Immortal World’s imperial examination system, once one became a Jinshi or a Zhuangyuan, they could no longer take the same level of examination, but they could challenge a higher-level gold list.

Hong Xiu became a hero in the eyes of all the cultivators on Qiongling Island because she had captured the most hateful Island Master of Tulu Island, Wu Qi.

Liu Yan was also a student at the Qiwu Academy, but she belonged to the Martial Master class, and the Grade A one at that; it was a pity that her talent was so formidable.

Ye Lingxi blinked her eyes, and both Hong Yu and Ying Chun were stunned, not understanding what was happening.

After the Qingzhou Alliance was established, Oda Nobunaga specifically commended Yu Qiuping for his great contributions. The alliance with the Matsudaira clan had been his suggestion, and he had been the one to pull the strings and facilitate the establishment of the Qingzhou Alliance.

Gu Liangsheng didn't waste a minute and immediately walked forward. After thinking for a moment, he returned to grab a torch before heading back out.

Although she had long known that Ye Fan was highly adept at cultivation, seeing that his talent in swordsmanship was also this monstrous made her realize that the "adept at cultivation" her junior brother spoke of did not just refer to the cultivation of life arts.
