Chapter 102: The Enchanted Immortal

According to records, ancient relic arrays generally target physical entities; even the most powerful ones merely block spiritual probing or divine sense. It is rare to find designs specifically intended for spiritual bodies.

What is a spiritual body? According to Taoist tradition, it is either the Yin spirit of a cultivator or an intermediate state of being that has not yet entered the underworld after death. Such existences are essentially wandering souls; to a powerful master, a mere flick of a thunderbolt would suffice to destroy them.

However, Chen Huan could also see that after arriving in the South Sea, Tang Qingsong had intended to assert his authority, but he had not anticipated the formidable local power wielded by Ruan Guangliang. He found himself unable to take a bite, no matter how much he wanted to.

Luo Tian nodded without a word. Although he did not understand why Kari said that, he did not press for answers. In his heart, he only wished to find the Cold Iron Sword and leave, but he had not expected that upon arriving at the Elven Tribe, he would be inevitably drawn into their affairs.

Since coming to the mortal world, Ziyan had been showered with affection by Zhizhi, Feiyang, Yi'er, Sezhu, Ling'er, Zhu Xingxue, Duan Pingjun, Ouyang Qing, Jia Chao, and Lvluo. This kind of doting was a different feeling from the reverence and fear she had experienced back in Phoenix Valley.

Although Consort Jing did not know why she was given such instructions, she knew that to support her son Yuan Zhao, she had to protect herself well.

Wan Ningzhu returned to the group. Although she pretended that everything was normal, her slightly reddened eyes betrayed her inner turmoil.

After all, he was a man who had traveled extensively for years, and as a Grand Prophet, even if his martial arts were mediocre, he was still much stronger than the average person.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered back in modern times, whenever she went on missions in the wilderness, she would roast wild game to eat.

To be able to say such things while maintaining such a sanctimonious expression—only he could pull that off.

"What is he here for again?" Gu Yan walked out from within. If she hadn't heard the unusual commotion outside, she would have preferred to bury her head in the sand like an ostrich.

Not to mention the others, even Shangguan Lengyi himself felt a bit of nausea in his stomach after saying those words, but since he was the one who said them, he had to endure it.

Although the Emperor of Xiliang liked Tang Ning simply because she was herself, a hint of discomfort still flickered across Tang Ning’s face at the thought of something.

But after Ye Jingming suddenly unleashed a technique that plunged the entire underground palace into darkness, Li Yang instantly felt his five senses stripped away, leaving him unable to perceive anything at all.

"Reporting to the Matriarch, rumors should not be fully trusted. While I, Mi Zhu, do not know the true strength of the Zhen and Wei families, I am well aware of my own. Although the Mi family possesses some modest wealth, it is a far cry from those rumors. I beg the Matriarch and the General not to take them seriously." As Mi Zhu replied, he began to sweat slightly, hurriedly wiping his forehead with his sleeve.

Tang Ning’s temperament seemed somewhat abrupt among the palace attendants, and Nangong Ming spotted her at a single glance.

Feeling physically and mentally refreshed, the three brothers emerged from the Spring Breeze Pavilion. Wang Xingxin, his legs trembling, managed to mount his horse only with the help of Cheng Chumo and Hei Wa.

Li Zhan’s status naturally made people eager to curry favor with him, and when he intentionally struck up conversations, the imperial guards chatted with him quite enthusiastically.

It was rare for the Hubble Restaurant to be so lively in the morning, crowded with wealthy individuals who either looked like gentlemen or nouveau riche. Especially with the owner and manager gone, and only an assistant manager left to run things, such a grand scene was a first.

Following a loud "bang," there was the violent screech of tires as the car slammed to a halt. The massive impact and the sudden stop jolted Gu Hanhao into a partial recovery of his senses. He slowly opened his eyes to a blur of red, and the sticky sensation on his hands brought him to full consciousness immediately.

"Tang Ning, you deserve to die!" Li Zhan’s expression turned ugly after hearing Tang Ning’s words, and a surge of anger flared within him.
