Chapter 104: The Sweetness Must Be Witnessed

The formidable Lin He had spoken, and how could Xiao Su dare disobey? He quickly instructed his fox younger brother, “You follow that immortal who just left. We’ll join you shortly.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mei immediately stuffed all the special snacks prepared by the doll-like young lady for the guests into his mouth. Then, brushing the crumbs off his hands, he nodded and said, “Alright, brother, you’d better hurry.” Saying that, he transformed into his fox form and bounded off in the direction the immortal had gone, leaving behind a wave of invisible heat that swept over the ground.

The residual intense yang heat lingered in the courtyard. Lin He waved his hand, summoning a long string of herb leaves infused with spiritual energy to dispel the heat.

Soon, the scorching wind left by Xiao Mei was replaced by the soothing scent of plants. Besides Lin He and Xiao Su, the only other person present was the true human grand steward.

After three months of relentless research, Li Yi finally detected a slight anomaly. The Demon-Sealing Bell was absorbing his three types of elemental core energies at an extremely slow but unwavering pace.

“I can’t stay calm. I don’t believe it, I just don’t believe it!” Huo Yixiang shouted, his eyes bloodshot.

“That’s true. There are still over three hundred people in the Memorial Hall who haven’t entered the arena yet. Even if the other side has deployed their strongest lineup, they’re unlikely to reverse this situation,” Zhang Meng honestly replied.

Ying Ming returned with a report: the narrow mountain valley remained unchanged, with nothing of note. If they traveled one more day tomorrow, they would reach the valley’s mouth.

“Ant! You are doomed today!” At that moment, Long Xingyun’s furious roar sounded nearby, like millions of thunderclaps erupting simultaneously. The entire sea surface trembled under the impact. The rift in the beam of light tore open once more, the entire column nearly snapping in two, about to crash down from midair.

“What do you mean ‘you’? If you can’t keep everyone afloat later, then break out on your own from among the tree demons,” Mo Mo said with a teasing tone.

Mo Mo’s face was ashen, and he longed to flee immediately. Yet, looking at the alluring skeletal remains and the enormous demon core of the Death Scythe, he couldn’t help but feel reluctant.

If Long Xingyun’s plan for ascension were divided into several stages, then from the Tianhua Realm to the Jade Emperor Realm, each level of subordinates would be responsible for different tasks.

“Why should I owe you an explanation?” Ma Rudong snorted coldly. Upon seeing Li Hexian arrive, he gestured for him to wait a moment.

Everyone was baffled and eventually gave up. After a short rest, they resumed their journey toward the White Platinum Tiger’s lair.

“Hehe... Me too. Sister Rong, long time no see. How have you been?” Qiu Yiwen smiled, stepping forward to embrace Zheng Rongjun. Three years ago, Qiu Yiwen had met Zheng Rongjun quite often.

Initially, when the barbarians transformed, their power multiplied several times over. No one could withstand the barbarian force for long. Thus, the weakness of the transformation was mostly in the subsequent exhaustion. But Song Yun was different; he endured far beyond the typical duration of the transformation.

In an instant, Lin Tao and Long Que both turned around simultaneously, staring at Jiang Wubian with surprise. Lin Tao roughly guessed Jiang Wubian had found an old enemy, while Long Que was curious, not knowing much about Jiang Wubian.

But who was the man their sister had liked back then? Could it be Ouyang Tianming standing before them now?

Ling Yunfeng laughed heartily, then suddenly opened his palm wide and grabbed at Tang Feng’s neck.

“I was really happy. So when filming the forest scenes, even though it was tiring and conditions were poor, everyone was joyful, like we were on holiday,” Han Geng said.

However, today he had hit a stumbling block. Yan Jue had long targeted him. Just as he tried to escape, Yan Jue moved forward and executed a shoulder throw, slamming the man onto the marble floor with a heavy thud.

Su Jinse heard the door open but didn’t turn around. She just sat there quietly, her gaze unfocused.

“The entire Wang family, retreat now!” Before Song Yun’s fist could reach the Second Elder, the Wang family’s Great Elder burst out from the side, delivering a palm strike that forced Song Yun back. The two-star martial artist’s energy was overwhelmingly powerful. Song Yun’s whole body shook, his chest surging with blood and qi.
