Chapter 104: Act Quickly

“I never imagined you would actually dare to come. What a pity...”

Outside the Imperial Capital, the flames of war raged relentlessly.

At Long Manor, in the central square, silence reigned.

Tens of thousands of Long family warriors encircled the Jiang family forces, both sides bristling with tension, murderous intent spreading wildly through the air.

Long Yue...

Because of the Forbidden Zone, even if the celestial dome underwent a mutation, transforming into a true higher-level lifeform wreaking havoc across the world, Dongye Guangze could still take refuge within the Forbidden Zone, safe from harm.

Fang Yuan’s strength was originally at the peak of the eighth level of spiritual energy. Through the Black-Clad Man’s secret techniques, it had temporarily risen to the ninth level. Yet, as the Five-Eyed Wild Ox had said, this level was insignificant before him. To defeat him, one had to strike with a supreme technique and win in a single decisive blow.

“Thank you!” Zhao Mengxue said shyly, shrinking her head slightly as a blush flickered across her cheek.

Sun Yu hesitated for a moment, wondering whom to send as a substitute, when the blade at his neck edged closer by a fraction.

“Yucai, the point is sharp; we must attack together!” Gu Tianxin said gravely, gazing at the massive black tiger looming in the sky.

Ge Chuanli was by no means a believer in the Divine Spirit Ghost; it was only that the quality of this dice was so exquisite that it made his heart uneasy.

The keen, formless sword qi blazed into fierce flames—the Sword of Wind and Fire—capable of extinguishing all evil forces.

The wind blowing from Yueyang City whipped the robes into a flurry, while doors and windows creaked ominously under the violent gusts, threatening to collapse.

Beyond the outskirts of Luoping City lay a no-man’s land—the Demon Wind Valley and Ghost Water Swamp. This wasteland was teeming with ferocious beasts and exceptionally perilous. The Shengjin Empire had long sealed it off as a training ground, posting troops around its perimeter.

Though he did not leap in, facts spoke louder than words! Mu Yunxi, utterly unworried, respectfully said, “Elder Wudao, you should use the Time Technique and see for yourself.”

In that instant, the entire hall was filled with mercury flying irrationally through the air. Rather than appearing exquisitely beautiful, it evoked boundless terror.

Meanwhile, Fu Yang and Ah Huang finally uncovered the truth behind the so-called “Qingcheng Secret Treasure.” Ah Huang also discovered the true origins of his family lineage.

This was near where Cao Cao bribed the Puyang garrison commander. After Dian Wei and others had caused chaos, the already disordered scene made it even harder for everyone to find a place to hide.

After breakfast, Yang Yi called upon Dongliu Gongzi and Du Li, then led a group of top-ranked Hidden Dragon List experts toward the Feixian Sword Sect’s Wangcheng branch.

Two enormous hands, each comparable to a mountain, collided, shattering the firmament in an instant. Even space itself could not withstand the might of a “Divine Spirit” level power.

Now that Gong Tian was incapacitated, many eyes turned toward the throne of the Gong family head. No one would accept a traitor taking that seat, would they?

Yet, before Zou An could approach, he suddenly recognized the visitor’s face by the firelight beside the tent—Prince Qin Ying.

In recent days, seeing Yan Jun’s condition shocked the village chief, who secretly had the apothecary examine his body to ensure his overexcitement did not cause lasting damage.

Then he stepped forward, lightly pressing the floorboards at several spots. The floor sank down like enormous buttons being pushed.

“Go bring all the maids who served at Qingyun Pavilion,” Jiang family head glanced at the matriarch Tan. She had arranged today’s crab feast, and if such a slip went unchecked, she would lose all standing within the inner household.

Zi Han nodded, then turned and flicked her arm sideways, five silver needles piercing Murong Qingzhe’s body. Murong Qingzhe trembled all over.
