Five taels of silver were, in fact, worth more than five strings of copper cash. In truth, the manager of the silk shop had already been quite generous; at the time, he had spoken of copper coins, instead of the nearly worthless Great Ming Banknotes.
His pupils contracted and expanded, emitting dazzling golden light as endless sword energy surged forth, condensing into a massive golden sword.
And as the voice faded, the black flames silently disappeared, not in the ordinary sense of fading away, but instead, entirely merging into the vine.
This made Song Xiaoru breathe a sigh of relief. If the entire process had been broadcast online, wouldn’t everyone have seen her body? Song Xiaoru truly didn’t know if she would have the courage to go on living after that.
She had a vague recollection of what happened yesterday, but the memories were fragmented, and she could no longer distinguish what was real from what was a dream.
However, because this kind of feng shui formation was nurtured by drawing upon the earth’s baleful energy, it naturally possessed a strong malevolence. It was not as gentle as the usual feng shui formations, and thus was unsuitable for selecting a burial site.
After the battle between Heishan and the rescue of Chen Liang, both sides suffered heavy casualties once again. Yet Lü Hanqiang not only replenished his forces in a short time, but went even further, expanding from an original one hundred thousand troops to one hundred fifty thousand, with equipment so abundant it provoked envy and resentment.

Xuan Mo slowly raised his head, gazing at the tribulation lightning tearing through the sky like a giant dragon. With a swing of the God-Slaying Blade, a beam of blade light shot forth, colliding fiercely with the thunderstorm.
