Fu Chunzhen had just finished washing up and was about to rest when he suddenly noticed a large number of soldiers gathering in front of his barracks, seemingly searching for something.

“What’s going on?” Fu Chunzhen called out, frowning.

“Reporting to the general, we just saw a shadow flicker past. I suspect there’s an assassin in the camp,” one of the guards stammered.

Fu Chunzhen’s heart tightened at these words. Could there really be an assassin? Though his martial skills were formidable—

Chu Yifan’s father truly was a man of great refinement, even when his son so bluntly stated his intention to leave.

By the side of the mysterious golden-armored commander stood a military saint, a commander nearing his fifties, whose expression changed before he gave Bai Lin and the others a cold, mocking smile. After all, to the officers of the Iron Cavalry Army, their marshal was revered as a deity, and their loyalty to the mysterious golden-armored commander was absolute, unwavering even unto death.

Yet she could not rebuke him; this ever-changing, unpredictable Mei Qingli left her uneasy.

The classroom fell into complete silence as all the students listened intently to Xuanxuan sing.

For some reason, he felt as though the pendant was calling to him—a sensation that ebbed and surged, erratic and elusive.

Heavens! Wan Zhiwei’s heart nearly stopped. He leapt down directly. Yun Moyu lay on the ground, gulping in deep breaths; testing her limbs, she found herself unharmed.

So at last this girl’s attention has fallen on me, Lin Zheng thought smugly, settling back into his chair and sipping his juice.

She turned back. “Brother Lin Yang!” And with that, she left Jun Ziyu behind and ran straight toward Lin Yang.

From its inception, the Ancient Domain City had been built upon natural defenses. To breach it would require at least three times the manpower of its garrison. Now, with a force of half a million defending the city, the seventy thousand-strong Wolf Army stood no chance of taking it.

The elder battled fiercely against the one-horned azure bull; with his superior strength and the bull already wounded, he quickly gained the upper hand.

Suddenly, his figure shot forward, unleashing the full spiritual power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, aiming straight for Li Hongsheng.

Following the mayor’s orders—or rather, his threats—he knocked the mayor out, staged the scene to look like a robbery, and then left.

“In Zhejiang, speech differs every ten miles. Locals form tight-knit groups and are extremely xenophobic. For northern merchants to do business in Zhejiang, they must prove their allegiance,” Wei Xianzhong said slowly.

As the sky blazed with evening clouds, Mu Yun departed with Ao Xue by carriage, leaving Lin Lingsu to return to the palace alone.

Meanwhile, the seraph Yousi of the Serpent God and Eileen, the second angel of the God of Lava, each led over a thousand angels to block the first wave of black goats.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know the true usage of this elixir. In the end, Su Yun had no choice but to explain its purpose: it was the legendary Elixir of Youth. Upon hearing its name—

“Hall Master He, you clearly said just now that the Inspectorate doesn’t have that many spirit stones,” Advisor Wang Yuan couldn’t help but point out.

“Yes, Senior Brother Abbot.” Kumoku, who just moments ago radiated murderous intent, abruptly changed his expression, gave Yu Qing a deep look, and then strode out of the main hall.
