Volume 1 Chapter 48 Complete Lack of Self-Awareness

Not to mention the various underworld forces abroad, even the sects and families of the Huaxia cultivation world paid it no mind, believing it to be a deliberate spread of fake news and the like.

Meanwhile, Lu Yun and the others from the Boundary of Gang, who had been hiding in a certain location, also received notification from Chen Fan instructing them to leave the Spirit Realm immediately, as the passage had opened.

"I for one consider this move reasonable. Since they are all sanctuaries, their overall strengths should not differ by much, yet they only possess three factions: the Shennong Alliance, the Wu clan, and the Dragon clan," said Turtle Yuantong, patriarch of the Xuanwu clan, voicing his support for Emperor Xuanyuan.

She could not help throwing herself into Chen Feng's arms, holding him tightly as if fearing he would suddenly vanish from her sight again.

"You want to buy it too? Then make a bid, stop shouting here. Who do you think you are?" some powerful being snorted, launching a blunt and unceremonious sarcasm.

Long Tian did not care at all about the Fire Kirin's sophistry, because since the mainframe had told everyone it was a mystery-grade mount, it naturally wouldn't be bad at all! Moreover, since the mainframe had sent Long Tian into this place, it certainly wouldn't do so without a purpose.

Gu Wan let out a scoff upon hearing this. "Don't overthink it. Given our current cultivation environment, our Wuyou Sect isn't even considered top-tier among the hidden sects; how could we possibly have such legendary powerhouses presiding over us?"

Long Tian shook his head and drove slowly along the road. When it came to driving, Long Tian knew very well what should be taught at this stage and what shouldn't.

There were three such gunships, each commanded by one of the Ruan brothers, while Li Jun acted as the commander-in-chief of the fleet. The fleet consisted of nearly a thousand people, of whom over five hundred were former members of Liangshan's water army and newly recruited soldiers, with the remainder being personnel in charge of commerce and miscellaneous duties.

"Well, what's wrong? Did something happen while I was away?" After kissing both children, Wang Yiwei finally spoke of the matter he found strange.

Even tigers have their moments of slumber. The two of them had just finished embracing intimately, a time when their defenses were at their absolute weakest, so it was no wonder Li Xu didn't react in the slightest.

The boos never ceased, and especially at the very final moment, the jeers escalated to a whole new level. The home fans vented all their frustration and anger over the team's failure to win entirely upon Fan Biguan.

Han Shizhong stood before the troops, holding high the surrender edict of Northern Liao that Yang Fan had given him upon departure, and shouted loudly toward the mass of Liao soldiers. A soldier fluent in the Khitan language translated his words side by side, shouting them out to the bewildered Liao soldiers.

Deep into the night, seeing that Zheng Xi truly had no intention of giving it to him, Li Xu finally settled his posture and went to sleep. Zheng Xi, however, lay sleepless all night, occasionally turning her head to glance at Li Xu, feeling an even greater ache in her heart.

The setting sun sank beneath the rolling mountains to the west, leaving only a lingering trace of dusk struggling valiantly against the encroachment of the night.

Seeing him act like that, Li Xu wondered why he was so afraid of him. After all, very few people knew who he was; even Xiao Zichen had only learned of his true background in the past two years.

Her philosophy was that without trying out a few more, how could one know which was the best and most suitable for her?

"My boss didn't blame me, she's wonderful. I just wanted to ask why my cousin kept things from me, making me play the villain, and even told me she resigned earlier because the boss forced her out and she didn't want to work anymore." This was what angered Luya the most. If you were fired, you were fired—just be honest about it. Why resort to smearing someone's reputation?

The disciples of the Chengming Sect approached the area where the grey mist drifted. They discovered that this mist was rising from a valley, and the strange part was that the valley appeared illusory, or rather, enveloped and permeated by the grey mist.

Yu Qing was very decisive in her actions. Since she had promised Zhou Pingshan, and seeing that Zhou Pingshan had first yielded Maolin for Yu Qing to station her people, and then sent gold afterwards—as for the grain, because there was too much, it was left behind in Maolin, but since Maolin now belonged to Yu Qing by Zhou Pingshan's concession, there was naturally no problem.

With that, Zhao Tiangang pulled a yellow scroll from his bosom and tossed it to Ming Xuan. Upon opening it, he found it to be the exact diagram of the Four Elephants Formation. The scroll looked ancient and full of character, of considerable age, and its contents matched what Ming Xuan had seen earlier, appearing completely genuine.

Yu Handan secretly cast a gaze full of utter hatred toward Yu Qing. If not for the presence of so many people, she would have torn Yu Qing to pieces.

"You two brothers, Canying is restless and still has a child's temper; I cannot feel at ease entrusting certain matters to him. But you are different—mature, steady, and unflappable in the face of crisis. Therefore, you must remember what I am about to tell you!" A hint of solemnity appeared on Mu Xianxian's face.

If he were not short of money, Ma Shu might have spared the face of the nobles in the capital. But now, with circumstances pressing hard upon him, he naturally paid no heed to such things.

Although the fire beast displayed unusual traits in every aspect, this did not mean it could dispense with eating. Even human cultivators at the Spirit Realm require nourishment to replenish themselves, and only upon reaching the Immortal Realm can one absorb the essence of heaven and earth to compensate. Since the fire beast was not even a spirit beast, it was naturally incapable of fasting.

Most of Xie Wuji's subordinates were loyal. As for the occasional individual who tried to play both sides, after a few stern warnings from Xie Wuji, they instantly dared not harbor any other thoughts.

"There is one more thing you must keep on your person!" Mu Xianxian said, retrieving a gemstone from an exquisite wooden box beside the bed.
