Chapter 26: Setting Out for Red Flag Town

Before the system panel was unlocked, Fang Mingxi had assumed the trading system was merely a way to sell excavated items to the system. She never imagined such a sudden and delightful surprise.

With her mind racing, sleep was impossible; every time she closed her eyes, a irrepressible smile spread across her face. Unable to sleep, she simply kept her eyes open until dawn. At six in the morning, hearing her grandparents stir, Fang Mingxi immediately shut her eyes and feigned sleep. Fang Bosong and Tong Lingxian, having finished washing, were about to...

Had the old man been more observant, he would have noticed the bronze-colored gauntlets on Sanbao’s hands—the very same spirit artifacts gifted to him by Jing Yifei.

"Old..." Seeing Zhao Yan return, Kuang Long hurried over. Zhao Yan quickly signaled him with a glance, then strode toward the main cave as if conducting an inspection.

Half a month later, still unwilling to give up, I sent another envoy. This time, I offered to cede all the territory I held in Jingzhou to Sun Jian, provided he ceased his assault. Yet, this envoy was executed by Sun Jian. I feigned fury, spreading the ancient wisdom that envoys should not be harmed in war to stir the righteous indignation of my troops.

Shen Feng realized that Sha Wujing did not wish to speak of his past and ceased his questioning. However, he found himself at a loss for how to answer Sha Wujing’s final question.

Setting aside the thoughts of Li Mu and Cheng Daolong, the so-called outstanding disciples of the various sects were already seething with rage. Had they not been within the Gao family estate, they would have resorted to bloodshed long ago; yet, judging by their livid expressions, it seemed conflict was inevitable.

Watching the members of the five great families crowding around them, Duo Luogun and his companions, long accustomed to solitude, frowned deeply. Sensing their mood, Zhao Jin and the others promptly dismissed their respective family martial artists before standing solemnly by their ancestors' sides.

This palace was originally named the Qingfeng Hall, a grand structure reserved for those with the status of Imperial Consort. Previously, Sima Yu had granted it to the "divine being" who helped reshape Nalan Xue’s physical form. At that individual’s request, it was renamed the "Hall of the Human God," and no unauthorized personnel were permitted to enter.

To see a person of normal build covered from head to toe in thick, green vipers was a sight that moved even those present. They did not know what had befallen Simon, but it was clear he was enduring agonizing pain.

She knew the Emperor would certainly investigate why she had spent three years guarding the lotus pond in winter and the plum garden in summer; she had to devise another plan.

Five hours later, just as Sanbao managed to regain a sliver of his strength, the Origin Spirit Tree began to tremble violently. Countless streams of fire-elemental origin energy erupted from the tree, spraying toward every corner of the Blazing Space.

It was a sentence so simple it was inscrutable, leaving one completely baffled. It felt senseless, lacking both beginning and end. One could not possibly know who they were expected to challenge at Olympus.

"Trying to leave? Too late. Bind!" Yun Guo sneered. Pointing his Staff of Life, he cast the Binding Spell to freeze the fleeing old green ape, then stepped onto the Blood Calamity Cloud to close the distance.

Liu Yunfei hurriedly opened the Kate interface and discovered, to his surprise, an actual option to return to the city.

"Uh..." Slowly, a glimmer of light returned to Shangguan Lingyou’s eyes, though she still stared blankly at Lan Qimian before her.

As for the talismans, they were not limited to this spot; the outer perimeter of this level was plastered with them. They were much larger than the ones Lin Jie had seen earlier. Had he not reminded himself that he was inside a game, he certainly would have thought he was dreaming of Maoshan Taoist priests.

No wonder I had never seen her husband or children, nor heard her mention them; so that was the reason.

"Hmph!" Liu Yunfei snorted. Did they really think they could turn the tide just because they had superior numbers?

Watching the shifting expressions on the faces of those below, and the increasingly darkened countenance of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, the three hidden in the shadows revealed bloodthirsty smiles.
