Forty-nine thousand forty-nine.

Since Jiang Mingxuan became pregnant, she had been constantly nagged by her mother and Zhou Zekai, to the point of unbearable annoyance. She reached out, wrapped her arms around Zhou Zekai’s neck, and after pressing a kiss to his lips, she finally spoke.

“You little brat, always scheming to trick your brother, aren’t you!” Mo Liu shook his head helplessly.

At some unknown moment, a young man emerged from the dense forest, watching as Xu Qi unleashed streams of blood-colored rainbows that devoured the demons. The blood rainbows darted back and forth, occasionally brushing past the young man, who ignored them entirely, unmoved by even the slightest disturbance.

“Exorcising demons and protecting the righteous, eliminating harm for all under heaven—yet they actually came up with this!” Shui Menghan suddenly found it amusing, though at the same time, an overwhelming sense of fury welled up within him.

The cultists of the evil path remained unaware. They believed the cave was guarded with utmost security, yet a terrifyingly fearsome beast had silently infiltrated without a sound.

Although Xiao Wuxie had left in time, he was drenched in cold sweat from sheer fright. Each of these eight cultivators had reached the Celestial Illumination realm; such a formidable lineup was truly terrifying.

As an elder, Zhou Zekai carefully answered Huo Linjia’s questions. Huo Linjia nodded repeatedly, making Zhou Muzheng, standing nearby, feel immense admiration for his father. He had never imagined that others saw his father in such a light. The reverent gaze Huo Linjia cast upon Zhou Zekai filled Zhou Muzheng with overwhelming pride.

His attitude was firm—he made it clear he intended to settle matters with money. Whispered voices never ceased, until someone murmured, “Isn’t that the second young master of the Marquis of Xuanping’s mansion?” The crowd was taken aback, and their voices immediately hushed significantly.

Through suffering and torment, undaunted by hardship, one is reborn and their power transcends, rising to become a dual-colored phoenix.

The solidified primordial spirit trembled as though struck by some shock. After a long pause, a bitter, wild laugh echoed from someone on the sixth level, like a night owl piercing the long night.

Following a final surge of passionate encouragement, the warriors present swore their oaths. The rebel leader ordered the disbanding of the troops, allowing everyone to leave unhindered.

At that moment, Zhou Shen stood in Juyun County, his gaze sweeping over passersby. He stepped aside to avoid a bullock cart and approached a man dressed in blue nearby.

In the sky, Qian Min, empowered by her wings, narrowly dodged the sharp light blades cast by the Golden Tiger. She twisted her body and delivered a swift kick with her long leg toward the beast.

Upon hearing such words, one could hardly call that person human. The Ice Spirit flared up in rage, and seeing this, others grew even more emboldened.

Zhang You roared with boundless passion, electricity crackling over his body. He discarded his decapitating blade and seized Kakashi’s wrist.

He was the only survivor in the town who could still express his thoughts. Thus, if discovered by them, leaks were inevitable. Once a determined adversary investigated, something would surely be uncovered.

The broken golden arrow was highly unstable. It was composed of stellar energy, and when it fell into the ruins below, it triggered a massive explosion.

With resolute movements, Yu Hua seemed to understand something—like the profound enlightenment of the ancestral elder, she suddenly grasped her mission. At that moment, she understood.

“Damn! Not again!?” Ye Hua saw the enemy’s numbers swelling and realized she could not win. She turned and fled.

On the morning of the Qixi Festival, Qingluan and Dujuan stood awkwardly before Bai Mu Jin, clutching something, their faces on the verge of tears but unable to cry.

When he spoke, a faint smile played on his lips, as if he truly regarded Jing Rong as a close companion, and felt joy at Jing Rong’s words.

Although he wished for Bai Mu Jin to die unexpectedly, if it were the Lu family’s doing, that was a different matter altogether. After all, it was his own flesh and blood harmed by his bedfellow, or was it the Lu family he had always trusted? The thought was unbearable.

An army of twenty thousand was shattered by five thousand enemies; despite having four times the numbers, they never landed a single effective blow. Filled with terror and disgrace, they fled toward Sunset City.

“You... you’re lying! You... you’ve all been deceived by her, boohoo...” Bai Yunxi could no longer feign innocence, her face twisted in resentment as if the entire crowd had wronged her.

“What happened? Why has my inner strength vanished?” Ling Lanyu stared at everyone, panic-stricken.

“You led me on a wild goose chase just to follow him here? What’s he doing in a place like this?” The Moon Fairy was puzzled by the pursuit to such a location.

These concepts would gradually take root in his heart. Once they sprouted, he would become a ruthless tyrant, wreaking havoc upon the divine clans of the Great Li Dynasty, plunging the people into misery and chaos.

Although Fan Lv died by her own hand due to the Soul-Devouring Beauty Pill, if not for Bai Su’s affairs and Zheng Chu’s setbacks, Fan Lv would never have come to such an end.

“I will count to ten. When I finish, if you still don’t tell the truth, bear the consequences.” I said, determined. Trying to stall or deceive me won’t work. I was just worried about who might have stolen my things. Well, this one will do for now.

“There seems to be a major conspiracy brewing recently. Do you really want to know?” I closed my eyes, avoiding looking at Second Miss, lest she deliberately reveal something. Then, early one morning, she might call to betray me.
