Chapter 108: Nonsense

Sounds came from outside the room, causing each of them to bristle with unease.

Only Bei Yu, sitting opposite Manman, knew who had arrived.

“Sigh.”

“Auntie, what’s wrong?” Manman reached out her soft little hand to touch Bei Yu’s furrowed brow. “Are you unhappy?”

...

At this moment, the entire Huolian mountain range was destroyed by a single palm from Yun Tiankong, yet nothing appeared—no traces, no aura—even Yun Tiankong could not detect any presence within the molten rock, as if it had become lifeless.

“Should be?” Helan Yao raised an eyebrow, disliking such uncertain words.

“Madam, your behavior today was too reckless; it may invite unfounded suspicion. Please act discreetly and uncover the truth soon, for the sake of your brother as well.” The voice was neither humble nor arrogant, merely stating facts without emotion.

“If we’re being cheated, then so be it. You yourself noticed we urgently need money. No matter how much we lose—even if it’s half a million—we have to sell!” Tong Lei said resolutely.

Qiu Li’s eyes widened. “What? Master Banbu? The divine craftsman from five centuries ago? He, he, he? Me?” Qiu Li thought of that dilapidated smithy and the half-finished weapon blueprints. Could it be that the old man who passed on the Pure Yang method to him was none other than Banbu, the divine smith?

The Dragon Eye stopped spinning, completely shattering the primordial spirit of the Jiaolong demon. A portion of memories useful to Chu Feng was absorbed; the rest were destroyed. Then, a surge of soul power, even denser than that of the Wolf demon’s primordial spirit, was injected into Chu Feng’s soul sea.

The guards hurriedly went to the darkroom to bring someone out. After a while, La Wei was carried out, his back covered in bloodstains, with dried blood at the corners of his mouth and nose—proof of how brutally he had been beaten.

Ning Ruxi was so respectfully treated that she was overjoyed and lost all sense of direction. When Ji Jinfa spoke, Ning Ruxi immediately followed him.

Honestly, if it weren’t for his kinship with His Highness the Crown Prince, leaving no room for choice, Chancellor Zhou might have favored the Second Prince instead of the current Crown Prince.

Surveying this familiar place, the address of the Dragon Battle Martial Arts Hall had not changed—it was still the same location. However, compared to twenty years ago, the hall had expanded greatly. Besides the martial arts hall Chu Feng had built before him, the surrounding houses pressed closely against the hall were all later additions.

“Who’s there!!” Yin Kaishan was about to speak but suddenly sensed faint demonic energy. His expression changed drastically as a powerful aura of suppression radiated from him.

Qin Ying watched the man pick up the clothes and tuck them under his arm. She said nothing, for she did not understand what his words meant.

“Is that how you speak to your mother?” Madam Meng frowned and reached out to pull Chu Xi’s ear.

The latter’s face was indifferent, eyes lowered as if the noise had nothing to do with him. Yet the redness at his ear tips and the hand pressed against his abdomen betrayed the truth.

Chen Boyu stayed behind solely to remind her—not to forget how she became his fiancée.

At first, many believed the battle between Sovereign Qian Kun and Xiao Lin would be a one-sided annihilation.

Chief Eunuch Zhou Funing quietly added calming incense into the gilded Suanni incense burner and then stepped forward to serve tea.

Thus, the Disconnected Waterfall was ordered to lie dormant around Pei County. Just as a decisive breakthrough was made today, they encountered Master Chen Lin and his disciples.

“Dad, that car was the gift we picked out for Yanran earlier.” Yun Guanlan’s image as a caring older brother was truly deeply ingrained.

“Damn, Senior Qingsi, you sure know how to make an entrance!” Ji Yuan was stunned and couldn’t help but curse aloud.
