Chapter 160: No More Pretending, Show the Cards!

When Li Lin told him to find another master for Li Chang'an,

Li Wujie expressed his confusion.

Li Lin had no idea how to explain; he could hardly admit his own limitations and confess he was no longer capable of teaching Li Chang'an.

Thus, he could only grit his teeth and bark, "If I tell you to find one, go find one. Why all the damn nonsense? Make sure they are the absolute best, at least above the Martial Saint realm, and preferably all Martial Gods!"

Hearing this, Li Wujie grew even more bewildered.

The old man stood, setting aside the ancient tome in his hands, and walked toward the door. The young scholar wanted to step forward and support him, but ultimately held back.

At that moment, Ye Hetu and Ren Xiaoyao were bound to engage in a bloody battle to the death. No matter who survived, when it came down to a desperate fight, one would inevitably end up gravely wounded while the other died, or both would be severely crippled.

As Li Tianming walked up, the concealed Ye Xiaofeng had already begun executing his commands.

To be able to return the forces of nature back to oneself allowed a cultivator's power to rise by at least a whole tier within a short span of time.

When the Jiang family had invited him to treat Jiang Kun, it was this very Jiang Yida who had begged Ye Xiaofeng so piteously that Ye Xiaofeng, moved by his filial devotion, finally agreed.

Recovery after war was a slow process, especially when colliding with such bleak times. Even if the new dynasty possessed an unparalleled capacity for self-healing, it would likely take a long while. At least, such was the state of affairs in the north.

Just as Zhang Haotian was lost in thought, a sudden tremor rippled through him. He was astonished to find that the source of this resonance was the very fortune of Haotian City.

To put it in philosophical terms, the Heavenly Way originated from the living creatures of the world yet transcended them; without the world's living creatures, there would be no Heavenly Way.

Yet, the Great Curtain-Lifting General was, after all, an attendant to the imperial carriage before the Lingxiao Palace, having originally come from Yan Hui of the Confucian school.

In short, under the weight of pressure from all sides, two-thirds of the shopkeepers and managers who had originally pledged themselves to Wang Ning had already fled. The few who remained could truly be counted as men of loyalty and righteousness.

The opponent was Tobey, a peak fourth-tier magus, whom Ayton had crossed paths with once back when he was freeloading meals at the Life Department branch.

The Xu family would likely never guess, even in their wildest dreams, that such a vast space existed beneath the soil where their ancestors had lived for generations.

So even if someone as steady as Song had lied, she must have had a reason that left her with no choice.

Tang Ziqi looked at Xie Lang in disbelief, her large eyes and long eyelashes fluttering as she questioned him.

When the two saw Xue'er, their hearts were flooded with a complex mix of emotions. Joy was naturally inevitable, yet it was laced with no small amount of sighing.

Tang Ziqi froze for a moment, then scanned Xie Lang up and down before turning on her heel and walking away without a single word.

The breakthrough missions were randomly generated by the system. Whenever a human was about to break through a major realm, the system would issue a random task, such as slaying a specific demonic beast, consuming a certain spiritual pill, or killing a set number of beasts to achieve the breakthrough.

"It is indeed about time," Feng Ziying sighed softly. Once the Grand Emperor passed away, it would vacate the seat for a new Grand Emperor, allowing Emperor Yonglong to assume that very mantle.

To arrive at this conclusion, Hao Nan had already consumed nearly twenty horned rabbits and various other magical beasts.

Only now did Tang Ziqi seem to understand why Xie Lang had dared to mock the Human Emperor back then, claiming the Emperor was not half as handsome as he was.

"I'm with you to the end!" Shao Ke glared with bloodshot eyes, driven to desperation by the sting of being underestimated, and eagerly stepped forward. At the exact same moment, Wang Meng curled his lip into a bizarre smile, and the boarding students beside him stepped back to clear the ground, quietly waiting for the duel between the two starved wolves.

In this lifetime, she was no longer an innocent child, yet she stubbornly bought those lanterns anyway, perhaps merely wishing to recall the shadows of the past within the flickering, colorful lights held in Jiaojiao's hands.
