Chapter 68: Schemes and Calculations

Madam Liu waved her hands repeatedly and anxiously pulled Shen Quanyi over, looking her up and down. Seeing that she was completely unharmed, the heavy stone weighing on her heart finally dropped. Catching her breath with a hand over her chest, she grasped Shen Quanyi's hand in return.

Right then, a muffled grunt reached her ears.

Startled, she hurriedly lowered her gaze, only to find that Shen Quanyi's hands, which were usually so well-cared-for, were covered in wounds.

Madam Liu squeezed out the words with difficulty: "You have suffered for this, my dear concubine."

"Our Crown Princess loves—"

Dezhou is rich in cowboys; the local people are rough and hot-tempered, frequently resorting to fierce physical conflicts over the slightest disagreement. When tempers flare, these disputes often lead to duels, and should one of the parties unfortunately perish in the duel, their family usually regards it with immense pride.

Questions lingered in everyone's minds, yet no one voiced them. They all pretended to be completely at ease while continuing to eat, though their ears were stretched as far as possible toward the master's seat.

Yun Qixi had certainly not known at the time that it would be her future self, years later, who would personally send him into this era.

However, Yin Linzi added one final remark: in the near future, he would thoroughly master the laws of universal space, forge a path to immortality, and attempt to shatter the void between the Immortal Domain and the starry skies of the mortal realm, thereby reopening a pathway from the lower realm to the Immortal Domain, so that cultivators from all sides would have a channel to ascend to immortality.

If this jade thumb ring truly possessed such miraculous abilities, why had she not taken it with her? Even if she departed from his world, what would have prevented him from traveling to her world to find her?

All of this was brought about by the bizarre magical artifact crafted by Liang Tian, which, through a series of demonstrations, immediately stirred up a bloody storm across the cultivation world.

Sijun Hao nodded at her expressionlessly and said, "Have a seat," before walking straight toward Aimu's room.

The figure of Yin Linzi transcended outward, departing from the Xuanhuang Cauldron, and stepped directly into the origin of the laws; the very origin of the entire cosmic starry sky was trodden beneath Yin Linzi's feet.

"Brother, it looks as though you all knew I would return today?" Yun Qixi voiced the question weighing on her mind.

Suddenly, a thought arose in Yin Linzi's mind. The opposing crocodile demon, in the midst of its battle with Yin Linzi, began to feel its five senses dull and its spiritual sense blur and twist.

The final torrent of energy surged directly into the embryonic form of the ninth nether spring. Even when faced with such a massive surge of energy, the embryonic form of the ninth nether spring devoured it all within mere breaths, continuously trembling within Mo Ning's sea of consciousness as if to say that this energy was still not enough and more was required.

At this moment, numerous other nobles of the Piga tribe had also gathered here, conversing endlessly inside the villa. However, some of these people were merely there to watch the spectacle, while another portion looked forward to the open and covert struggles among the three young patriarchs, and only a tiny fraction genuinely wished to attend the wedding.

Suddenly seeing Wu Han return at this juncture, everyone experienced a myriad of emotions. Yet, Wu Han could perceive that almost every disciple's face naturally blossomed with an expression of wild ecstasy.

To begin with, he was already in deep agony over a well-laid assassination plot devolving into this state. If things were to continue like this, stumbling into one pitfall after another, anyone would find it utterly unbearable, wouldn't they?

Not long after the three of them departed, a wisp of blue smoke rose from the top of Wuxu's head. This wisp of blue smoke drifted up to a height of half a foot before halting, gathering into a cluster.

Just as before, seeing that the talisman seals transformed from the second batch of avatars were about to be completely exhausted, the final three avatars transformed into three balls of holy light, taking the positions of those previous three talisman seals. This caused the Exterminating Yuan Black Hole not only to avoid vanishing, but instead to appear as though it had taken root permanently within the void of the Great Desolate Origin Cauldron.

The two of them struck almost simultaneously, each grabbing one end of the Creation Jade Disc, neither harboring the slightest intention of yielding. As they tugged back and forth, it looked very much as though they intended to tear the Creation Jade Disc in two.

Quan Qiuren was watching with rapt attention, pondering whether or not he should pull down the public notice, when several plainclothes officers rushed forward, seized him, and without a word of explanation, bundled him into a police car. Wailing their sirens, they sped all the way directly into the courtyard of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
