125. Bringing It Upon Oneself (Two-in-One)

The dead of night had just passed, and the sky was beginning to brighten. The lingering moonlight intertwined with the rising mist and the snowy landscape, adding a touch of hazy, illusory etherealness to the scene.

They had reached the edge of Longquan County; they were only a few miles away from truly leaving the capital. If Li Muzhi could make it out of the capital safely, he would be like a fish returning to the sea. Once he made it back to Biluo Cliff, even if the group of cultivators his sect had brought to the Forbidden City were decimated, it would still...

On the table lay a large sheet of paper with a few words written upon it: "Fourth brother, don't go out this afternoon. There is an urgent matter."

"Could it be that he has slaughtered all the birds and beasts in the mist?" someone asked in disbelief, their expression one of utter shock, their voice faltering and trembling.

Yet, the road sign beside them clearly stated: Two kilometers to Monteroda.

At that moment, thick, dark clouds rolled across the horizon. A massive army of demons descended upon them, and the force of the "Thousand Sails Palm" unleashed by the demon lords sent us crashing to the ground in all directions. Those demons headed straight for the widening rift, working together to seal the gap from which gusty, sinister winds were blowing.

However, he directly denied this speculation from the crowd. Given his status, people felt he had no reason to lie about such a thing, though, to be honest, few truly believed him.

Then, he briefly recounted everything he had encountered while alone during the past period of time.

Of course, if Yan Shisan were to try to pressure Huo Ziyin, he would be gravely underestimating him.

Ruichang returned to the city in triumph and could not help but boast excessively. Yonggui believed Ruichang’s words and told him to write a battle report, then submitted a memorial to the Qianlong Emperor to request rewards on his behalf. The officers in the camp took turns hosting banquets for Ruichang; for several days in a row, Ruichang drank until he was dead drunk. It goes without saying that Qi Zhaonan was delighted to see both Yonggui and Ruichang fall for the trap.

Some things are not valuable in themselves, but they must not be disturbed; while the object remains the same, its significance changes with the person. Even a simple mountain cave might collapse after a few years, forgotten by all. But if an immortal were to emerge from it, it would become an "Immortal Cave," a sacred site revered and worshipped by all living beings.

Looking down into the gully below the road, it was pitch black. The other black SUV had plunged straight down and now lay completely motionless.

Shen Tianlan’s eyes widened. If that were the case, they risked triggering a "Gate of Death" on any of the stone walls they touched.

The violent vortex of the storm surged with monstrous power, but as that single flash of sword light streaked across, the storm vortex formed by the spatial turbulence vanished in an instant.

Meimei Xian had many disciples, yet none of them possessed her magical artifacts, not even Nan Liaoliao.

"We will likely rest here for tonight. Everyone, stay alert," Ling Yufeng instructed the disciples of the Kunlun Sect.

Someone like Chu Yunchang—frail, ethereal, and slender even after giving birth—how could she possibly have caught the eye of the Prince of Yue?

Chen Biao and Xiangxiang were, after all, brother-in-law and sister-in-law; it was ultimately inconvenient for them to go out alone. To avoid gossip, Chen Biao brought Mother Chen along as well.

Luo Baobao chased after him, grabbed his arms from behind, and used her knee to pin the big white dog's hind legs, forcing him to the ground.

Now that he was still diligently completing tasks within the illusion array, it was clear that Shanying was still somewhere inside, alive and kicking.

She had gone completely mad, running through the village with all her clothes stripped off. Her family locked her in the woodshed, forbidding her from going out and making a spectacle of herself.

The old matriarch had not expected Shen Wei to be so calm upon seeing the dowry. Could it be that she had no objections at all?

If the red deer did not fall after being struck by an arrow, he would immediately close the distance and fire again until the deer collapsed. However, after leaping out, he realized it was unnecessary. The wounded red deer swayed twice and then crashed to the ground.
