Volume 1, Chapter 106: The Wu Matriarch Confesses!

Qin Bao took a deep breath and quickly said, “N-nothing. I was just a bit nervous, that’s why I suddenly spoke up.”

“Let’s hope so!”

Qin Bao replied with a smile.

Qin Youde remained doubtful, feeling that Qin Bao seemed to know something. Yet, he dared not ask.

“Excuse me, Ash, what are your thoughts on the recent victory?” A male host dressed in a deep blue suit asked a young man in a white team uniform on the LCD screen not far away.

“I... I...” Su Nian’an could not find the words. Tears welled up in her eyes. She tried to explain but didn’t know what to say. She just wanted to see them, but Su’s mother had no intention of letting her.

Ye Ying found a chair and sat down, grabbing a big mouthful of rice with chopsticks, pretending to enjoy it, chewing slowly and savoring each bite.

Ji Chongming could no longer remain calm. Originally, he had watched Zuolong’s actions with cold disdain, even secretly mocking him, convinced that Zuolong would end up battered and bloodied.

At least Ji Chongming lacked the skill to unify all into one with a single strike. That was impossible for now.

The moment the light particle left the body, a tremendous explosion erupted, forcing Jiang Dong to retreat violently. His clothes instantly turned to ash, and the surface of his skin began to rot. When the light faded, Jiang Dong had already restored himself, clad in fresh garments.

He had even directly shattered the stability of an entire nation, plunging an already chaotic situation into deeper turmoil.

“Could it be that he went to the Fenglan Martial Mansion to find Lu Wuyun?” Lin Motian remained indifferent but voiced his suspicion.

This was no longer something Ji Chongming could encourage himself about. With the Stabilizing Divine Pearl entering the Purple Mansion, Ji Chongming could only watch helplessly, having no other means to cope with the current situation.

The two had originally planned to follow and kill to earn merit, but upon receiving this order, they sighed helplessly. However, since Duan Rui’s status was far superior, they had no choice but to acquiesce and quietly followed him up the stairs.

Unlike when they first arrived, the Stone Gate Pass was now monitored not only by the Lin Lu Peak sect but by all sects and factions, each setting up checkpoints. The strictest was the Bupu Sect, which had eleven checkpoints between the two southern gates. They cared little about offending Lin Lu Peak, determined to capture Mu Ziyun no matter what.

“You...” Yun Tianxiong was immediately speechless at Jiang Mei’s words. For a moment, he just pointed at Jiang Mei, his face flushed red, unable to utter a single word.

“Alright, there’s a living creature ahead. You go first to scout and see if it’s a Shar Pei bear,” Zhou Wutian said, grabbing Su Yi and pulling him aside to make way for Zhang Yong to advance.

Lu Zhen had little emotion and followed Commander Ji directly to a modestly sized inn located in the middle of the main street.

The Sword Demon and the Time God were momentarily stunned. At that moment, flames drifting down from the sky brushed against the Sword Demon’s arm, instantly burning it.

Ye Xuan spoke coldly, with a hint of envy in her tone. He had once been a figure of great renown, but now, who still cared for him? Who remembered that he was once such a person?

“Sun Ling! My brother said the demon who beat him up was called Sun Ling. Is that you?” the Blood Demon asked.

Holding his breath and steadying his breathing, Liu Dingtian gripped the Purple Garden Bamboo and gradually entered a state of focus. A five-colored spiritual force struck the Silver Mountain, enveloping it in flames. He began to refine it using the Golden Mountain technique from the ritual incantations of the Five Finger Mountain.

“Chief Zhang, relay my orders: all treasure seekers near Wanbao Studio and cultivators of Nirvana Realm and above, assemble immediately at the Black Wind Valley auction site,” the middle-aged man dressed in embroidered finery commanded hastily.
