33 “The Cultured Man”

Su Yuxian’s knuckles dug instinctively into her palms. Alarm bells rang in her mind. She knew all too well what that contemplative look in Lu Yizhou’s eyes meant; it was the gaze of a hunter assessing the value of his prey. He was hesitating regarding the marriage.

"Baozhen was frightened by the dog at Lin Zhao’s place," she said, downplaying the situation.

"Lin Zhao?" Lu Yizhou’s mind conjured the image of that lotus-like face he had once glimpsed on the road. He subconsciously used Su Yuxian—

But he did not know that his name had left Xiao Mo in a state of stupor. "Did you say your name is Zhou Cang?" Xiao Mo confirmed, silently crying out in his heart: Could it really be him? Is my luck truly that good?

Wu Yun’ao and Huang Xuanling were beyond furious. As three dignified Martial Sages, they had failed to deal with a single Martial Sage; what shame they had brought upon themselves.

The Zen-like youth continued his persuasion: "One must understand the art of vertical and horizontal alliances. Uniting all forces that can be united to overthrow the Demon God’s evil reign—that is the only true path."

With a clatter, the guards surrounding the stone platform scattered instantly, encircling Xia Zheng. The long, gleaming blades in their hands flashed with a frigid, icy light.

Just as he was immersed in the exquisite sensation, a strange fluctuation suddenly emanated from within Lin Lingyun’s body, causing his brow to furrow and his boisterous laughter to cease abruptly.

Besides, this old monk, Master Tishan, was usually frivolous; when did he become so enthusiastic about the affairs of the Immortal Flower and Spirit Herb Sect? Could it be that during my absence, Master Tishan and some girl in the sect had created a "human life"?

The voice sounded like peals of thunder exploding in his mind, causing Qin Yi to writhe in agony.

"Huh..." When everyone opened their eyes, they were no longer in the Trial Grounds, but outside the family’s forbidden area where they had first entered. This surprised them, though it was merely surprise, with not a shred of suspicion.

Fortunately, Xiao Mo had a guide, as directions on the grasslands were not easy to distinguish. During the Han Dynasty, the Great Han could only rely on the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu and found it difficult to venture deep into the desert. There were many reasons for this, one of which was navigation. Otherwise, those Xiongnu would have been wiped out long ago.

Seeing Chu Yang’s car actually barreling toward them, Wang Jun’s parents panicked and instinctively swerved left and right. Wang Jun was also scared sober, shouting "Oh, mother!" as he hurriedly shifted gears to steer the car into a parking space.

Later, Pangu gradually aged and finally passed away. In an instant, the giant collapsed. His head became the Eastern Peak, his abdomen the Central Peak, his left arm the Southern Peak, his right arm the Northern Peak, his feet the Western Peak, his eyes the sun and moon, his hair the vegetation, and his sweat the rivers.

"What’s wrong? Is he that famous? Is such a reaction necessary?" Qin Ning rolled her eyes, unimpressed.

Lou Yi had him bring Duanmu Qing, and the three of them left Qingning Town together. Lou Yi then transformed the Ruyi Bodhi Bead into a treasure ship, carrying the three of them as they streaked away like a beam of light in the direction of Qingping Town.

This crucial piece of information caught both of their eyes. Lou Tong intensified his restraint, while Qian Linglong began to communicate with all the Heaven-Piercing Spears simultaneously. Each attack from the spears consumed a vast amount of energy and required a certain period of recharging, so during this time, they had to rely on Lou Tong’s protection.

The troops marched majestically toward the mountaintop. Because of the previous incident with the green-skinned ghost monk, the ghosts and monsters in the mountains had long since fled without a trace, making the journey very safe and free of any danger.

As Chang Gexing stuffed the "medicinal pill" into Princess Qianjin’s mouth, he began to treat her. The genetic-level repair caused the Princess’s injuries to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, Chang Gexing did not fully heal her; he only treated a portion and even inflicted some damage in the process.

The key was that without the obstruction of the outer shell, the flesh and blood inside the Roller Blade Beast were revealed. Under the sunlight, the beauty of that flesh and the ugliness of its exterior were concepts that stood in complete opposition.
