32 Centrifugal

Mo Xiuchen merely held her hand quietly, his gaze warm and gentle, as if waiting for her to offer some advice.

She gasped for breath, her eyes brimming with tears, and raised her hand to slap Li Weiting again, only for him to intercept it.

Once Gu Xiao had seized power across Guanzhong and occupied the region as an uncrowned king, the Dugu Clan naturally submitted to his rule. Most of those who had close ties to Yang Guang had already departed Guanzhong to join him in the south.

"Divination? Who said I wouldn't do it? But mark my words, if your reading this time doesn't come true, don't expect to keep this stall when you get back," Ye Juntian grumbled.

In an instant, Yang Xuangan, the reincarnated overlord, transformed into a spinning wheel, with the thunder blade in his hand acting as the cutting edge. It tore through the void and shattered the vacuum, leaving Gu Xiao with the momentary, illusory sensation of being trapped in the legendary blade-mountain hell.

The outer casket was massive, about four meters long and two meters wide, containing an inner coffin made of the same material. Inside lay an old man dressed in a royal blue burial shroud, wearing a skullcap.

Seeing the sword energy rushing toward him, the Beast King’s eyes flashed with intensity, yet he remained utterly calm. With a fierce wave of his right hand, a black, claw-like force instantly dissipated the cold, piercing sword energy.

Watching Shi Liang, whose eye sockets had burst and bled from sheer agitation, Liu Jingguo swung his massive sword with satisfaction, bringing it down upon Shi Liang’s neck.

A century ago, the Shadow Moon Sect, the world's premier assassination organization, was uprooted in a single night by the Purple Forbidden Heaven Sword Sect. Even after a hundred years, that event remains a glorious legend.

At that time, the sect master had stripped himself of his family name, claiming that his penchant for underhanded tactics brought nothing but shame to the Zhang clan.

Siyang’s cultivation had reached the terrifying peak of the seventh level; even facing Zhe Chi, she was no less capable. As the great battle erupted, Siyang’s inherent arrogance and tyranny were on full display, her every gesture summoning a sky full of talismans and glowing mist.

Three hours had passed, and it was well past midnight. The bright moon had shifted to the western sky, and the shimmering light on the sea was no longer visible. A thin mist blanketed the water, making it look like a fairyland, while the island remained in absolute silence.

After Bai Ou entered the room, Zhan Liuyun gave instructions to Zhizhi and continued practicing his internal energy in the living room. His proficiency had reached ninety percent; with a little more effort, he could break through to the Mahayana realm. He wondered what higher-level internal energy skills would be unlocked once he achieved that state.

Therefore, when Guan Kesong later learned that the Runing Army had begun grandly recruiting personnel to execute the three decrees, he could only helplessly submit the order for the promulgation of these decrees to Wu Shigong’s regional commander’s office.

The layout of the inner room was simple: a typical northeastern kang bed, a plain table, and a rocking chair, upon which sat an old man of seventy, eyes closed in meditation.

Cang Tian smiled faintly and walked toward the side of the island, intending to visit the mission hall to accept tasks, earn merit, and incidentally gather some power of rules from the outside world before returning to continue his seclusion.

Cang Tian resumed his haughty demeanor, his vitality erupting violently. The ice surrounding him shattered rapidly, turning into fine powder that drifted through the frozen domain.

It was unclear whether Zhan Liuyun was depressed because he knew nothing of yesterday’s events or because he had been bedded in such a muddled state.

Chen Chu felt that the item must be hidden within the three maps; it was quite possible that such a stone was simply lying in a ditch somewhere.

"This is my business, it has nothing to do with you," Li Shang said, deeply annoyed by this idle busybody.

The plane landed, the hero returned, and national prestige soared. As the cabin door opened and Chen Xinghai emerged first, the cheers were thunderous, a heart-shaking celebration of triumphant victory.

Song Dekuan watched the dejected figure and laughed, then his form flickered as he followed him toward the West Gate.

Although their pace had been delayed, they finally found a place to rest before sunset.

Staring at the pitch-black cave, Lang Hongxiang did not hesitate. It was similar to the previous caves, but the moment he arrived, he sensed a formidable aura—a presence far beyond that of any spiritual herb he had encountered before.

The remaining mercenaries were stunned, none daring to raise their guns at Heizi. He had always been the second-in-command of this drug cartel, and now that the old boss was dead, it was only natural that he should become the leader.

Regrettably, before they could even finish their second curse, Ye Bai had already moved, bestowing a slap upon each of them.

Amidst a whistling sound, the intruder’s momentum was suddenly checked. With no leverage in mid-air, he forcibly pulled himself an inch higher, dodging the bamboo pole that had been aimed directly at his crotch.

Lin Shihan gestured for him to follow, leading Chen Xinghai to the front of the auction house where a few VIP seats stood empty.

"You old goat, you finally came to your senses," the second uncle said with a smile, pointing at Wang Feng’s father. Upon hearing the news, the second uncle was also overjoyed.

Both the Pei and Gao families had had talented officials in Shu in the past. To advance into the strategically defensive and xenophobic region of Bashu, it was essential to use their prestige and connections to win over hearts and minds. This task would be carried out in tandem with the military campaign to conquer Shu, marking the most critical military operation currently prioritized by the General’s headquarters in Chang'an.
