Chapter 40: The Southern Barbarian Has Grown Wiser

The county magistrate bowed and reported, “Your Highness, a few days ago I relocated all the villagers from the southern settlements into the city. The southern barbarians, seeing no advantage to be gained, have not troubled us since.”

“However, those villages’ houses were all burned down by the barbarians.”

Chen Mu snorted, “They’re bold indeed. Once the war is over, we’ll make them pay back—with interest…”

It’s not that there aren’t such body-tempering techniques, but they’re only suitable for speed-type warriors with wind affinity. Chen Manman has a good talent for martial arts, but I haven’t sensed any wind-type bloodline in her.

“Tang Jinglin said you refined a supreme-grade pill, that you’re a Pill King of this generation?” Lu Changsheng’s eyes were fixed on Ning Jiang as he asked slowly.

“Father!” Uchiha Fugaku, as the future clan leader, had already begun to involve himself in clan affairs and was no longer as foolish as he once was. At the very least, he was becoming more shrewd. To become a distinguished statesman, some growth is inevitable.

If one cannot even challenge those of a higher level, what right does one have to enter the third layer? To stand among the top young elites?

But now, in the underground palace world, with no one else around, Ning Jiang no longer needed to restrain himself.

However, the Chaotic Realm is different—not only is the energy abundant and dense, but it also connects to the Heavenly Realm, allowing cultivators here to train to their utmost potential without any hindrance.

Upon seeing the arrival, Nan Zhouchen’s face was already a mask of fury, his eyes filled with murderous intent. If only he weren’t confined to the hot spring, unable to move, he would have struck out already. Instead, he could only glare venomously at Yi’s silhouette.

“So you mean I’ve treated our valiant Xuanyuan clansmen as mere pawns?” The Yellow Emperor glanced at the shattered teapot on the ground, arching an eyebrow as he spoke.

“Ah! In the past, I could have tried to have a child with Tsunade, but now I fear that if she does, the child would end up a complete wastrel—eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, smoking—mastering every vice. Better not to have one at all!” Shimura Yang sighed quietly.

Su Qiancheng looked at the reflection in the mirror; sorrow was etched across her brows and eyes, as if she had forgotten how to smile.

“Hahaha, what kind of fool is this? Of all the bets to place, you choose such a heavy one? You must be out of your mind! You’re practically handing over your spirit stones to me.”

“Shattered to bits? What’s going on? Am I, at Nascent Soul stage, still no match for a beast that hasn’t even reached enlightenment? Then what’s the point of awakening the Demon Emperor’s blood? It’s useless.” Jiang Fei complained, frustrated.

At once, the Spring Breeze Pavilion rang with voices of agreement. Everyone knew Magistrate Xue was a good-natured man, and particularly fond of the Chronicles of Gods and Demons. Now that he had the chance, how could he let it go? Besides, what he said made sense. No one really knew the origins, and it did sound rather mysterious.

Nan Ming listened to Yao Yao’s call, nodded politely, and then chivalrously let her enter first.

“I’ll kill you! As long as I kill you, you beast!” Chong’er, despite her tattered clothes, aimed the emitter on her wristband at Ao Hen.

“Chong’er!” The medicine slave’s eyes gradually adjusted to the sudden change in light. Only then did he see the surroundings clearly and notice Chong’er had collapsed on the ground.

Yet the Emperor’s son was destined not to enjoy those ten Divine Comprehension Leaves—they all ended up in Ye Feng’s possession.

“A-Yan, destroy it.” Ling Yuxing did not respond to Jenna, but simply instructed A-Yan. He was truly angry now. His thoughts were not to be guessed at nor permitted to be doubted by anyone. No one could ever hope to uncover the secrets of his heart.

Faced with the other’s shout, Yun Pingping did not retort in anger. Instead, she reached into the patient’s chest pocket and took out a medicine bottle.

Heavenkiller shivered and hurriedly flew forward. Only after another leap through the void did he finally escape that terrifying, bone-chilling cold.
