Chapter 128: Compassion

Beiyu leaned in and whispered, "Let's put on a show."

"Fine." Shen Jin stared straight ahead, waiting for Beiyu to deliver the lines they had agreed upon, but to his surprise, their planned scheme fell completely apart.

The moment Lu Qingqing pushed the door open, Beiyu stood on tiptoe and pressed close to Shen Jin.

...

Just then, news arrived that Qi Fushou had reached the military camp. Simin ordered him to be brought in and sent Li Tang to fetch Jixiang.

"Heh, so using my face to curry favor with that dwarf Wang doesn't count as selling out?" Lian Xiao asked calmly, her tone rising slightly.

Just as Tan Ye prepared to use a more powerful force to utterly annihilate the spirit fire, a surge of intense flame erupted directly from Yu Mingsen, aimed squarely at Yu Lingyao, who had been captured and brought there earlier.

However, having spent years wandering the mountains of Fengming, both in her past life and her current one, she was somewhat afraid of heights, yet she was not truly frightened.

Meanwhile, battles erupted at the other seven peaks; at a glance, there were at least ten separate skirmishes across the Ethereal Sect.

Hearing this, Wei Datou, having fallen to the ground, wanted to scream in agony, but he bit back the pain and, steeling his heart, slammed his head against the floor until he lost consciousness. He knew that if he remained awake for what was to come, he would likely endure even more "spectacular" tortures.

No wind stirred. Sunlight struck the snow-white blade, reflecting a dazzling, piercing cold light.

The mere thought of riding a horse alone conjured images of falling, adding only unnecessary anxiety to her mind.

Yet, his overwhelming masculine pride forbade him from retreating, especially with Lian Xiao still watching from behind.

He would avoid conflict with the Seven Killers Sect as much as possible, but if they truly mistook him for a soft target, they would be making a grave mistake.

It was just that the spirit consciousness of this stubborn old man was difficult to handle; after all, as a Most Holy being, his mental strength was not to be underestimated. Ye Shaoxuan could not completely blind his perception, but he could create enough shallow confusion to serve his purpose.

The black dragon pattern seemed to hear Ye Shaoxuan's words; it flew before him and transformed into a sword. The blade was semi-translucent, like purple-black obsidian, with a black hilt spiraling with mysterious dragon motifs and a crossguard shaped like two chiron dragons arching outward.

She had betrayed Han Siyou’s trust, and he must be terribly disappointed. All of this was, in some destined way, her own doing.

He shook his head and took a sip of wine, seemingly unwilling to dwell on the matter, and brought out a spirit stone—only to accidentally wound himself. The crowd rolled their eyes; damn, what kind of nonsense was this?

Rong Susu’s carriage stopped in front of the shop. Ye Zhen boarded, followed by Rong Susu, and the coachman immediately drove off.

"Yes." Only after breaking his suspended animation did Shen Xingwuji dare to speak. Just moments ago, he had relied purely on his vision, not daring to stir even the slightest ripple, for the mysteries of the Peak Realm were far beyond their imagination.

Everything in the world has a cycle; as time inches forward, one must remain alive to witness it all. No one on the wheel of reincarnation is truly guilty. Everyone just wants to live well—some with companions, some alone, some clinging to life, some welcoming death. All sorts of things happen, so why give up? As long as there is still time, it does not matter.

Luo Caiyu took the storage ring and probed it with her mental energy. At that very moment, two exceptionally cold auras approached from different directions.

They finally identified several storefronts in prime locations, though, of course, the final decision rested with his mother-in-law.

But Chen Cheng was disappointed! They did not fight over the space ring; instead, the last man picked it up and trotted off to deliver it to their leader.

"I truly don't know why you are so convinced I wouldn't lie to you. If I were a fraud, you would face total annihilation! But as it turns out, you made the right decision," Chen Cheng said, looking at Alva.
