Tong Lu was slightly startled as he looked at Qin Yue. "You mean... to make the Blazing Sun Sect compensate you with money?"
"What else? Or did you expect me to compensate you?" Qin Yue asked, looking completely justified.
Tong Lu almost laughed out of sheer anger, feeling that this young man had completely lost his mind. After killing and injuring so many of their people, he still had the audacity to demand compensation, and an exorbitant one at that—a thousand rare treasures.
"Young man, to be forgiving is a virtue. In this world, life isn't just about killing and fighting—"
"Enough, old timer."
Seeing this, the other two cultivators burst into raucous laughter, while the target of the spit could only laugh in exasperation, wiping the saliva off his face and taking a step back to prevent any more from landing on him.
Over just this single matter, Xu Mochun and Zhu Wentian spent half the morning negotiating. Since Zhu Wentian now had a stake in the profits, he applied himself to the task with great enthusiasm.
Zhang Tianyi remained very calm. He believed that keeping Zhou Suqi's worthless life intact was more valuable than killing him; sheer incompetence had saved Zhou Suqi's life.
"To think that you actually managed to pierce through the illusions of fire and ice, recognize the ultimate truth, and reach the space within the stone tablet. To enter the space inside the stele, one must pass through the Five Elements Illusions, or the heart-tempering prisons of birth, old age, sickness, and death," Mo said aloud.
The middle-aged man watched the trace of sinister ruthlessness radiating from the youth's face, feeling a chill in his heart. Although this youth was his own flesh and blood, his deep scheming and ruthless methods sometimes made even the middle-aged man shudder, especially whenever the youth wore that particular smile, which meant someone was bound to suffer misfortune.
He stared sharply at Chen Tianhao, picked up a piece of chocolate, popped it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and then spun the large gold ring on his finger.
Although Nezha had already reached the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal after reshaping his flesh using the World-Destroying Black Lotus, and his combat prowess might even surpass that of ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortality experts, Mount Qi was currently crowded with Great Luo Golden Immortals. Even an ordinary Quasi-Sage going there wouldn't be able to stir up any waves, so Nezha going would be of no use whatsoever.
"Well, I feel a bit tired today, so I'm going to rest first. You should get some rest early too," Tang Ningan sat up from the bed and said attentively to Ning Jing.
As for Zhou Suqi, Zhang Tianyi did not yet want his life. After all, he was the biological older brother of his wife Suyu and the sole heir of the Zhou family. Had such a relationship not existed, Zhang Tianyi would have finished him off long ago.
As for that cave entrance, history had remained unchanged. The Southern Frontier people, transformed into demonic beasts and carrying the Southern Frontier stele, ascended Yingdai. Having lost their reason in the chaos, they inadvertently abandoned the stele, and it happened to land in a depression split open by lightning. With the rain falling ceaselessly, that hollow ground eventually formed a lake.
Because Dilihong had closed early, there was no one left on the street. The security guards who saw Chen Lin carrying a "large bag" simply glanced at him and immediately turned a blind eye.
The younger brother laughed at the older brother for lacking shrewdness. At the time, he had calculated the accounts: this apartment, with a total price of over one million, had a monthly rent of only around two thousand back then. Based on that rent, spending over a million would allow someone to rent it for at least fifty years, making buying a home far less cost-effective than renting.
Floating clouds are the mists of the void, all things rest upon the foundation of solid rock, nebulae and celestial bodies intertwine across this starry expanse.
I looked ahead, and indeed there was a stone tablet. Although the environment had changed, the chopped-down stone tablet had been restored, and a large character "Two" was inscribed upon it.
However, puppets are mere corpses devoid of vital energy for him to absorb and devour, and thus, the distance between him and death grew ever closer.
Bang! A deafening sound brought everyone to a standstill. A figure was sent flying a hundred zhang away, coming to a halt as a mangled mass of flesh and blood. Her face was covered by a blood-red silk veil, motionless. When the wind blew, it couldn't even lift her hair, which was firmly matted together by dried blood, impossible to part.
"There are a total of one hundred grain cellars, each capable of storing over four thousand shi of grain. These cellars can store at least four hundred thousand shi of grain." To have excavated a hundred grain cellars in two months' time showed just how dedicated Chen Kecheng had been.
