Chapter 56: Escaping the Manor

Just as he opened the car door, Shen Ling unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out with one leg.

At this moment, Shao Tianhua suddenly opened his eyes, and a three-inch purple light shot from them. An overwhelming joy welled up in Shao Tianhua's heart, and the corners of his mouth could not help but split into a wide grin.

Lin Xiao nodded. Throughout the entire mortal realm, however, he was the one and only person who possessed a cultivation technique allowing him to generate magical power independently through the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Everyone else relied on the power of faith, borrowing arts from their founding masters, celestial immortals, ghosts, and deities, possessing no genuine magical power of their own.

Never mind, best not to speak of it for now. I will talk about it when the opportunity arises. Right now, I am busy selling artificial ice; the matter of opening a restaurant can wait until artificial ice no longer holds any prospects.

After laughing among themselves for a while, they noticed that Shangguan Po was not laughing along with them.

Han Tian pointed at Zhao Ze for a long time without being able to utter a single word, because what he said actually made a certain amount of sense.

After pondering it in his mind for a moment, Governor Luo Yu said: "I understand everything you are saying, but others might not necessarily comprehend it. Take Scholar Lin, for instance—he is a man trained in statecraft and administration. If you handle this matter without giving the Education Commissioner a heads-up, aren't you afraid it will leave a bad taste in his mouth?"

The symptoms manifest as becoming completely incapable of doing anything and losing all physical strength upon getting a boyfriend.

Hearing Changsun Wuyou's words, Shangguan Longlong could not help but wear a full smile, thinking to himself, "It has arrived." What Changsun Wuyou had just said was precisely what Shangguan Longlong wanted him to say.

Back then, his master had even demonstrated it personally. To enter water without drowning, to remain impervious to swords and blades—this was precisely the state where true Qi is restrained internally so that the entire body leaks nothing, and projected externally so that its energy traverses the eight desolate realms.

The white figure asked the black figure, her voice as light and melodic as a chime. Had Xu Sansheng been here, he would surely have recognized the voice as belonging to Mo Xue, whom he had encountered only a short while ago.

Amidst his words, Jiang Banyao snapped his fingers, and this mighty, boundless army of the undead began preparing to leave the Eight Gates Sect and march in the direction of the Profound Sovereign Dynasty.

"..." Coming before this black-robed traitor of the sect, the soldier of the Cloud and Mist Department hesitated for a moment, then tentatively shook his arm.

"Heh heh, knowing the gap is good enough. Also, help me pick up my sword, if you please." Ye Hongfeng's legs turned to jelly, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Su Linyu raised her eyes to look at Tancheng's delicate facial features, her heart beating exceptionally fast in the gentle morning light.

The reporter closed her eyes in fright, but seeing Su Linyu hook the corner of her lips into a smile, she feigned a recovery of her composure, took two steps back, and prepared to leave.

The giant tree in front of them showed no movement whatsoever, but Jiang Banyao's eyes brightened slightly as he had already perceived it.

Not only that, this transport convoy was vastly different from previous ones, remaining completely and utterly exposed in a shocking manner.

Under the violent shaking of the earth, Le Huan and the Dream Ghost, along with several others, were sent flying backwards one after another, ultimately crashing heavily to the ground like falling meteors. That patch of ground instantly collapsed and shattered into a spiderweb-like ruin, kicking up a billow of dust.

Dinner time arrived quietly. At the grand entrance of the Heavenly Demon Chef Competition Hall, along a ten-meter-long stone slab path, a pale yellow graceful figure wandered back and forth. Her gaze constantly swept up and down the carriage paths ahead; however, to her great regret, Yadong's figure failed to appear in her sight even in the slightest.

Before nightfall, Liren's hidden troop of over ten thousand men arrived at the main camp to rendezvous with them. After Fang Ning arranged their subsequent actions, the entire camp plunged into a deathly stillness.

"Su huai yin? What kind of talk is that? Hehe, so it turns out to be 'shi huai ren' (he is a bad person). When did this girl learn other people's dialects?" Han Xiao smiled faintly. Chatting with Xiao Han Su, whether in body or in mind, felt thoroughly relaxing. It was as if she were his closest kin, requiring no deliberate pleasing or pampering on his part.

"Alright then! I won't stand on ceremony with you all, since I know you are in a rush to head back." Wei Haiyan began ordering dishes.

If the road were to be repaired from the west, although they could take over the construction from Wang Yuanqiang, that route had to pass through Longbao's territory. Wang Yuanqiang's consent meant jack shit; the road would still remain blocked.

As for Lang Hongxiang and Pei Shangjun, they naturally traveled together. This not only ensured Lang Hongxiang's safety but also minimized the possibility of Pei Shangjun being surrounded and attacked.

At the same time, Xi Mingyou and the others also made their moves. They had to ensure that Lang Hongxiang successfully obtained the Tianya Sword, and even stalling those powerful figures for a single breath's time would grant them a chance of victory.

Watching Ye Bai and the others out the door, Xin Miao finally relaxed, though her body still trembled involuntarily, and her eyes occasionally glanced toward the spot where the old man had been incinerated.

This dragon-turtle had regarded the ancestor of the Charm Clan as a life-and-death confidant. After the ancestor of the Charm Clan perished, the dragon-turtle seemed to take it as a matter of course to remain within the territory of the Charm Clan, sheltering them ever since.

Although Zhang Hao did not continue praising the assassin, the assassin could sense at this moment that Zhang Hao was somewhat different today. Therefore, rather than feeling angry, she docilely allowed Zhang Hao to take her hand and step onto the Haoran Sword.

"Clang!" Sword and stone collided, bursting forth a string of sparks. The giant boulder merely shed a few tiny rock fragments; this sword strike had missed its mark.

A human wall had gathered outside the officer's room. Kira was pushed to the front row. He had tagged along with Thor—or rather, dragged along by the scruff of his neck and forced to accompany him—to peer at the situation behind the door. But at some point, Sai and Kaza had joined in, and eventually even Jackie and Parl piled in, causing the back rows to push and shove relentlessly.

"Get up and speak. Actually, you don't need to belittle yourself so much. Do you know why I had them wait outside and what it means for you to come inside alone?" Huo Guang leaned back in his chair and said indifferently.
