Chapter 141: Di Cang Breaks the Conflict of Water and Fire

DiCang led the gods to station themselves around Mount Jade Emperor, and for a short time, the possibility of war was virtually nonexistent.

Suddenly, one day, the Ancestral Witch Gonggong arrived.

DiCang was greatly startled and hurriedly led the gods out to welcome him.

Gonggong, however, did not mind this in the least. Upon seeing DiCang, he smiled all over his face and said, "This time, I, the Ancestral Witch, have come for a matter of great importance. I need your assistance, DiCang, by utilizing the seeds of the Money Tree. Of course, given the kind of figure I, Gonggong, am, I would never accept—"

Yieluo's words left Zuoming utterly baffled. His own mother was right here, and his father had passed away long ago, which made him fail to understand why Yieluo would claim that there were still many people waiting for him to return.

Ouyang Xun froze abruptly. Turning his head, he saw that Xiahou Xuanxuan had somehow already materialized behind them with his robes fluttering, and he hurriedly said with a smile.

Gu Yuxi walked up to the first photo frame on the left wall. There were no notes or captions whatsoever beneath the photo inside. Failing to find any remarks, Gu Yuxi shifted her attention to the content of the picture itself.

Yieluo's hands holding the child paused for a moment, snapping him back from his brief spell of happiness. Even Shangguan Lan and Feng Yue, who had been smiling just moments before, put away their smiles, tinged with a trace of melancholy.

Witnessing the vast disparity in their strength, both Gong Qichi and Gu Yuxi could not comprehend why Xiyan was still hiding within the Blood Demon clan.

"Why are you here?" Sheng Fenghua also looked with a face full of surprise at the person walking toward them. It was none other than someone from the military academy connected to Si Zhanbei.

"It's fine now. Everyone, go back and get some rest." Qin Feng saw that the two of them indeed looked as though nothing was wrong, and only then instructed everyone to return to their rest.

One might say that, apart from the two elders of the Ning family, everyone else in the household believed she had only set her sights on the Ning family's power and wealth. Consequently, they harbored deep guard against her and could never truly accept her from the bottom of their hearts.

Just as they reached the halfway point, some movement suddenly came from inside the freezer. An old man whose face was caked with frost sat straight up from within. His head turned mechanically before finally locking its gaze upon them, and immediately afterward, his mouth split open into an eerie smile.

Feeling extremely ill at ease, I shifted my body slightly to the side to avoid any unnecessary awkwardness in full view of the public.

Zixiao had been tracking Zhou Yunfeng for several days. Naturally, it knew what Zhou Yunfeng meant by being hunted for days and nights. Previously, Zixiao had actually believed that Zhou Yunfeng was being pursued by the Shattered Mountain Cloud Stone Turtle. But after today's battle, if it still believed that Zhou Yunfeng was being hunted down, its brain would truly have to be in question.

"I caught sight of Feng Jiu long ago, only he was trapped in the Boundless Sea of Illusions after arriving at the celestial court with the Blue Bird, hence I did not recognize him. Noticing Feng Jiu radiant and surrounded by auspicious vapors, I knew he was no ordinary visitor. Yet the moment Feng Jiu spoke, realizing he was a disciple of the Fire Phoenix, I could not help but frown myself."

After the few of them crawled out of the secret passage, Kang Ji once again covered up the exit situated within the estate. Following that, Guo Ye had everyone rest in place for a moment before discussing their next course of action.

Watching the twin peaks rising and falling like gentle waves in rhythm with Wenya's laughter, Lin Mu secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forcefully suppressing the burning evil fire raging in his heart.

After a round of observation, the captain confirmed there were no artillery batteries or similar installations within the harbor, and only then gave the order to stop the engines and prepare for attack. The propellers of the Zhengde ceased spinning, and its massive hull continued to glide forward under the momentum, though at a steadily decreasing speed.

The azure beam shot from the arc reactor of the Dios armor, the milky-white web fired by Spider-Man toward his opponent's eyes, the hammer hurled away by Thor, and the giant form of Hulk pouncing like a ravenous tiger—at this very moment, all of them appeared as if frozen in time.

Li Yuejie was also secretly joyful, sipping bone soup while watching her younger siblings eat with faces of satisfaction. On a winter night, the family was warm and harmonious, and this very moment was pure happiness.

Yet the facts lay right before his eyes, leaving no room for sophistry or defense. Ling Feiyang fished out two hundred medium-grade spirit stones and handed them to the short, plump cultivator, who accordingly stepped aside to clear the path into the city.
