113 Renewed Conflict

“Thank you,” Bai Zongnan said. “I’ll go make the purchases now. Please take good care of Xi Yue for me.”

“Of course!” The shopkeeper laughed heartily. “You can rest easy!”

After Bai Zongnan had left, the expression on the shopkeeper’s face changed at once.

“Heh heh. Another fool.”

He pocketed the three hundred copper coins, then threw the three hundred coins Bai Zongnan had left behind onto the ground.

“What an idiot! He actually believed what I told him—”

Through the intercontinental information network, Feng Xue finally transferred herself, together with the interactive interface, into Xuefeng’s computer.

During the time since learning Summoning and Serpent of the Tornado, he had earned quite a few more skill points. Yang Han could now learn another intermediate spell.

“My lord, at this rate, once we blast open the city gates tomorrow, we’ll be able to enter the city. Fancheng is certain to fall then.” Fa Zheng also thought the situation was favorable. All they needed was to press the assault.

Having hurled the golden-colored mouse three zhang away, Yun Jinghua covered her heart and began to retch.

When she had reached half her height, she suddenly felt the inner force within her running low. Her inner breath weakened, and the body of the qin began to sway along with her. Banxia was startled and struggled to steady herself, continuing to propel the instrument toward the distant light.

The two of them looked exactly alike. If the Young Palace Master had not warned her beforehand, she truly would have believed without hesitation that Purple Stone had come to take part in the competition.

A You’s calm and openhearted reply instead made Ouyang Anna, who was burdened by so many unresolved feelings, feel somewhat ashamed of herself.

Qin Beiyang nodded slightly. Gazing up at the boundless sky, down at the yellow earth, north toward the Wei River, and south toward the Qinling Mountains, he knew that he was destined to return to the land where he had been born.

Only after Lu Qingqing asked did she learn that this method of circulating the power of life was called Defy Heaven. She immediately decided to learn it.

Leaving others aside, the killing aura surrounding Yang Lie alone was enough to make ordinary people tremble with fear if they came too close.

“Spirit stones!” Lin Chen answered without hesitation. With the auction fast approaching, the most urgent task was to gather enough spirit stones so that, ten days from now, he could seize the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill at the auction.

At the same time, after several merchant guilds had been attacked, that mysterious force ceased to appear. It vanished without a trace, as though it had never existed in the Green Hill Continent.

Hua Shui Rou had been unconscious for many days, and for a moment she could not recall anything. Then, in the very next instant, the abundance of true force within her frightened her.

“Big Brother Zhao, what should we do next?” Zhao Sihai was the principal person in charge of this matter, while Ming Xuan and Ou Zhiyang could not steal the lead.

“Who is that young man? How can he be so formidable as to contend with the Elder of the Constellations?” someone said, his voice filled with envy.

Ye Yinfeng understood perfectly well. He knew that Hezhou City appeared peaceful on the surface, but he could sense an unusual aura rushing toward him. Vaguely, he felt a sharp killing intent descending over him. He could not help but tense every nerve in his body.

First, Wang Mingyang’s Martial Inspection Bureau had given the Ministry of War a tremendous boost. Then Yang Wenyuan proposed that Song Zhiming, who followed Wang Mingyang, become the first Director of Fourth Rank. The two of them kept elevating one another in this way, and no one could make sense of it.

“Roar!”

The majestic divine beast within the golden wheel seemed to come alive. Stamping across space and time, it charged forward, while the two massive hammers in Kokos’s hands transformed into stars and crashed straight down.

“He’s insane—completely insane! He actually transformed into his true form and set his sea of elixirs ablaze.” Hua Shixin coughed blood as fear involuntarily rose in his eyes when he looked at the black dragon.

It made sense. In such a short span of time, one had to divide one’s attention to control the entire situation while remaining ready to respond to sudden developments at any moment. Even if the demands placed on one’s spiritual power were reduced, one’s divine sense and spirit would inevitably be depleted.

“There are too many spells! Let’s retreat into the cave! My Great Heaven-Piercing Treasure Sword is supporting this cavern, so nothing will happen to it!”

Seeing the spells filling the sky, Yan Chixia felt his scalp prickle. He hurriedly seized Sixi and Sima Sanniang and made as if to lead them into the cavern.
