Chapter 46: The Intention to Burn Bridges After Crossing

"I don't understand..." Qingtong scratched his head. Having never loved anyone nor been loved by anyone, how could he possibly understand?
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and Pei Jiuru also calmed down. "To the study."
"Is Your Lordship not returning to the bedchamber to rest?"
"There is no hurry." That freezing, soft-padded couch—what was there to hurry back to?
The bright moon hung high in the sky.
Inside the study, Qingtong practiced his calligraphy on one side, while Pei Jiuru sat before the desk, lost in thought.
Pei Jiuru had not expected Qingtong...
"So to speak, even heroes can be hired here in your domain?" Song Ming asked with a casual expression as he found a stool and sat down, dropping a startling remark.
The command emblem immediately leaped down from the rafters, dissolving into thin air before transforming into a brocade carp. She swam toward Wang Lingyun, her golden eyes devoid of emotion. Originally a stone fish, she was now able to move solely because of Wang Lingyun. Yet Wang Lingyun's current plight here was inextricably linked to the rampancy of power unleashed upon the fish's awakening.
To be honest, though, because Tian Mo's cultivation level was a notch lower, the rate at which his soul was devoured was actually somewhat slower. As for this Demon Lord, it was fortunate that he was injured and his soul had weakened considerably; otherwise, he would probably have received "special care" directly!
Tang Yi glanced slightly behind him. The number of cat demons was terrifyingly large, already surpassing the number drawn in the initial attraction.
In fact, up until now, Wei Jie still had no idea what Liu Muzhi actually wanted to ask him. After all, there were truly very few matters that could leave Liu Muzhi at a loss for words. Could it be that Liu Muzhi wanted to inquire about his affairs with Yan Mengmeng?
Previously, Chu Yan had used a total of two Sovereign Wills, so taking away two ancient immortal herbs now was only fitting.
Additionally, a total of two hundred and seven examinees from the three major districts who were forced to withdraw from the entrance examinations were dealt with: seventy-seven were killed, and they had seized one hundred and sixty-five Tier 4 beast crystals along with two Tier 5 beast crystals.
"The punishment is too heavy. Although the initial intention was to make an example of others, such harshness is likely to achieve the opposite effect," Qingyue said calmly.
At the same time, all the door bolts on the door unlocked themselves, and the long wooden bar braced behind the door snapped suddenly.
Chu Yan was heading toward Sword-Blade City. According to the markings above, the practitioners here all regarded divine weapons as their Dao, with a particularly vast multitude of practitioners specializing in saber and sword weaponry.
"Could it be him?" Nian Liaosha thought to herself in secret, two conflicting emotions struggling bitterly within her heart, almost tearing her apart.
...secretly hiding this bag of fish, intending to present it to the revered ancestor. Dong Zhanyun followed the servants to the accounts room, where the accountant first inquired about the purpose of his visit: "I wonder what brings the young master here today?" Dong Zhanyun answered excitedly, "I'm here to withdraw money." The accountant asked in surprise, "Could it be that the young master is borrowing money from our young master?"
When all the prodigies had finished their exchanges, some unwilling geniuses gradually took their leave. There was no help for it; lacking sufficient tokens meant they could not even trade for the most basic iron token, rendering any further stay meaningless. Fortunately, however, their harvest this trip was not insignificant, so they could consider it a worthwhile journey.
"Second brother, find a chance to get away!" Wang Tao killed a man with a single palm strike and shouted to Shi Yan.
Of course, Xiulin used that split-second hesitation to retract his razor-sharp claws! Good heavens, how had this thing become such a hot potato? How on earth should it be handled?
In his memories, his master was covered in blood, and his senior martial brother's whereabouts were completely unknown. "Although these events happened a long time ago, I never expected that in the end, I still wouldn't be able to exact my revenge. Hehehe!" Bai Jianyu laughed with a hint of madness.
Having finished their meal, the two rose and walked outside, embarking once again upon a life of wandering the ends of the earth. About two days after Shi Yan and his companions left, six individuals arrived at the tavern, all of them dressed in cyan Daoist robes with highly conspicuous emblems embroidered on their cuffs.
After a brief silence, the king shook his head, patted Liyun Mu's shoulder comfortingly, and turned to walk away.
