Chapter 56: The Gossip Society

Speaking of which, for the dignified Mount Hua Sect—one of the six major martial arts sects—it was truly improper for the young master's wife to strike with such ruthlessness. However, since everyone from Yicheng had just been labeled as "demons," how could Hua Shuting possibly hold back?

On the other side, a formidable warrior wielding a spear suddenly burst forth. Shockingly, he was also a young man radiating a terrifying aura, backed by numerous powerful experts of his own.

Xiao Fan let out a long roar toward the sky, his surging true qi vibrating through the heavens and earth, carrying across a range of sixty or seventy miles.

Good grief, my head teacher actually thought I was lying. After thinking for a moment, I said, "Don't you know the head of the general surgery department at the Municipal People's Hospital? If you don't believe me, you can call him and ask; he can verify this matter."

This particular location was still within that desolate village. Seeing the deep and shallow pits all around, it looked as though it had happened to escape anyone's excavation. Often, things happen precisely like this: one searches desperately while taking the wrong path, yet the correct road is clearly right beside one's feet, completely unnoticed by anyone.

"You tell me to stop, so I stop? Wouldn't that make me lose a lot of face? I'll beat you to a pulp, I'll beat you to a pulp!" the strange man shouted as he rained blows and kicks down upon the Ghost-Faced Dark Leopard.

Xu Rong was a native of Liaoxi and held zero affection for foreign tribes. The reason he had chosen to submit to Dong Zhuo back then was simply because Dong Zhuo was exceptionally skilled at handling the Western Qiang, leaving Xu Rong deeply in awe. However, Xu Rong was rather inept at socializing and utterly failed to get along with his peers, yet Dong Zhuo grew increasingly fond of him.

Jiang Liechen’s body flew backward through the air, utterly unable to withstand a might capable of contending with heaven and earth. Like an arrow snapped off its bowstring, trails of blood dragged from the corners of his mouth, scattering into the void and falling drop by drop into the soil. The center of his back crashed through tree trunk after tree trunk, which lined up and leaned against one another in a row—a spectacle of profound magnificence.

Outside the Phantom Sound Cave, shrubs and thorny bushes grew in dense tangles, almost completely concealing the entrance, leaving only a gap near the top to allow the Demonic Sound Bats to enter and exit.

Xuan Shuang did not understand the situation at first, but after listening to a few sentences, she managed to guess roughly what was happening. Seeing the panic on Cheng Jiaxuan's face, it was likely true. But why would she hand her a piece of wood for no reason? Could it be that she had some corresponding words to say after rejecting the marriage proposal?

Everyone had dressed in a rush and felt rather nervous, so they had all forgotten to apply lipstick for her. Her lips were naturally pale, and coupled with her illness, she looked thoroughly frail.

Yet precisely such a sect and such cultivation methods happened to directly cater to the needs of many cultivators harboring ulterior motives or those whose meridians had suffered damage during their trial journeys. This was why the Warm Moon Sect managed to forge marriage alliances everywhere in this region, such that nearly every sect had disciples from their family married into it.

"Haha! My broadaxes are itching for a fight too! If I don't chop off your head today..." The old man with a child's face and crane-like hair licked his lips, looking exceptionally bloodthirsty.

"Boom!" A massive explosion shook the reception hall into disarray, causing the hearts of the opposing Five Immortals Monarchs to tighten.

Su Hang saw at a glance that Li Chuan was in poor condition; his slightly swollen eyes and raspy voice suggested he had recently recovered from an illness.

Next, the second elder sister suddenly experienced a breakthrough, becoming the second person to undergo the heavenly tribulation. Just like that, Baldy Li once again became the one to bear the lightning tribulation. Having gone through it once already, everyone stopped worrying about Baldy Li altogether.

"Yes," An Cheng and An Chun replied in unison, then slowly backed out. No one could tell whether An Mei, who clung like sticky candy to her wet nurse, would actually be carried away.

During my high school days, Yang Bo, Wu Heng, and Gao Dali truly counted as my good brothers. Of course, there used to be Gou Mao as well, but because of Zhou Xiaoxiao, we had turned against each other and become sworn enemies.

"You want to run even after destroying the sacred artifact of our Holy See?! Not so easily!" The old pope scrambled and crawled with all his might toward Congyi, grabbing tightly onto future Congyi's thigh. The pope's actions inspired the Eight Guardian Kings, who eagerly followed suit, grabbing future Congyi's thighs and desperately holding him down.

Shangguan Yaohua bowed to accept the imperial decree and express his gratitude, while Prince Fu at the side glared at him irritably. Shangguan Yaohua, thoroughly pleased with himself, simply pretended not to notice.

Not long after Zichu returned to her courtyard, she heard a maid coming to relay a message, saying that Song Zilan had made a few pastries for her and was waiting outside the door. Upon hearing this, Zichu hurriedly told them to invite her in.

Huang Qingran's brows furrowed slightly; the aura emanating from that figure just now was identical to the one inside the stone coffin.

"You!—" Measure her vital statistics? No, not just her vital statistics, but her entire physique! When Ling Yichuan had gleefully used that to corner her just now, he hadn't expected Bai Yucheng to actually carry it out! He felt annoyed enough when other men merely brushed against her, let alone Bai Yucheng!

The Blade Slave clearly felt deeply humiliated. However, he did not care too much about it. Working in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had long mentally prepared himself for such treatment. Besides, Prime Minister Liu and General Liu still held him in high regard and spoke to him very politely. Liu Feijie was merely an unruly child, so he would not lower himself to the same level.

Su Ruling stepped forward and threw a punch, directly knocking Yun Bei to the ground without giving her the slightest ability to retaliate.

Yun Hui rose impatiently, her very first action being to head toward the western wing room, searching for something among the tatami mats and wardrobes.

When Tuoba Hong stepped into this garden, he could not help but exclaim in wonder; the scenery here was as picturesque as a paradise where immortals dwelt.

For instance, between the eighth and ninth ranks, there existed an impassable chasm! Even ten eighth-rank experts could not defeat a single ninth-rank expert.

In a split second, amidst the strange light, that pair of dark red eyes snapped open, locking directly onto the White Tiger's massive claws.
