Chapter 58: Heated Debate to Eliminate This Demon

What a magnificent saying: when laws are strictly enforced, the country prospers; when laws are neglected, the country falls into chaos. Well spoken, young lady, and full of wisdom!

Just as the Prince of Wei flew into a rage and the entire assembly of guests trembled with fear, a majestic voice echoed into their ears. Although the tone was subdued, it commanded deep reverence and instantly quelled the oppressive atmosphere.

Upon seeing the Empress dressed in a purple robe embroidered with phoenixes, alongside Di Renjie, who had recently been appointed Chancellor after entering the Phoenix Pavilion, and Shangguan Wan'er walk into the banquet hall, everyone rose in terror and hurriedly bowed toward them.

The roasted meat melted the moment it touched the tongue, transforming into a pure torrent of energy that surged through his limbs and finally fused into his very being. At that moment, a look of astonishment flashed across Ling Shaotian's eyes; the ingredients used for this roast must have reached the celestial grade.

He then muttered something under his breath as his hands moved in a flurry of shifting gestures. His palms suddenly parted, then came together, his fan-like hands transforming now into flat palms, now resembling the rocking of a boat. In the blink of an eye, he had executed thousands of hand signs.

"Yay! Sister Abbess is the best!" Amidst cheerful cries, the children made funny faces at Shur and gathered around Lisa, staring with eager anticipation as they waited for Sister Abbess to share the delicious smoked meat.

Indeed, she had never killed anyone; even the bloodstains scattered inside the villa were entirely her own.

Very well, Shur began to seriously consider the matter of seeking asylum through faith. For the sake of his own survival, should he use the excuse of adapting to the environment and hide away in the Temple of the Earth in advance?

"Hahaha! That naturally must be credited to our esteemed Wine Immortal! It was he who explicitly requested that the wine he personally brewed must be stored in this dark cyan and purple jade vessel. That is why someone, obsessed with alcohol to the point of madness, spared no expense to forcefully fuse this purple jade with cyan primordial Qi."

Brother Geta lowered his head and shoveled down a few fierce mouthfuls of rice, presumably because his chest was brimming with grievances that had nowhere to vent, and I happened to become the target of his complaints.

"Hehe! Old fellow, this young master admits that I am far from being your match, but today you can forget about taking the life of any of the three of us!" Haotian's lips curled into a faint smile, and with a swift sweep of his sword, a sky-full of sword shadows surged toward the region sealed by the power of the primordial source.

Sure enough, those two lynxes were merely putting on an act. They feigned a casual, carefree look as they tilted their heads to gaze up at the sky, as if something were up there. However, I dared not imitate them; with the mere thought of looking up to gaze at the moon, I knew they were deliberately trying to lead me on. The very moment I lifted my chin, those razor-sharp fangs would snap my neck.

Facing the puzzled expressions of the crowd, Xia Ding had the eunuch beside him display the adjudication results of Ling Xia and the other two. After examining them, the crowd became even more perplexed. Clearly, the judgments of Ying Qiankun and Qiu Luobei were superior to Ling Xia's, so why had those two lost to Ling Xia?

Nie Tian, who was in the midst of cultivating with Star Stones, was abruptly jolted awake. Pushing open the window, he looked out upon the desolate street with a solemn expression.

Xia Chu hurriedly slipped into the cabin and pulled the door shut. "Old Zhan! Old Zhan!" Fearing that her voice might attract the enemies on the yacht, she lowered it to an urgent whisper.

Perhaps Ah-xiang would feel heartbroken. No, Ah-xiang would definitely feel deeply saddened, along with some of the simple-minded brothers and sisters of the Tongtian grotto-heaven. But the Esoteric Sect to which he pledged his allegiance would certainly feel neither sorrow nor grief.

Upon hearing this, several disciples of the Five Elements Sect prepared to voice their agreement, though none of them noticed the fleeting trace of obscure, tyrannical cruelty that flashed deep within Hua Gang's eyes.

She calmly retook her seat in the chair facing Li Muyang, acting as if nothing whatsoever had happened.

Seeing this, Ning Yue took Mu Rui and leaped into the air, darting ahead of the wheeling commanders to rush toward the raging demonic bull, which was temporarily held in check by the dark cyan soul-power spears.

Yet, a succession of stark spatial anomalies and ripples of spatial energy continuously pulsed from the very bottom of the pit.

Aoyagi Ruri gently rested her hand on her ninja tool pouch, knowing that inside lay a scroll containing the twin lightning blades, "Fang."

Having finished, he cast a covert glance at Wang Liangchen's expression. As expected, Wang's face was as gloomy as still water, yet tightly set without a single word. Such underhanded and open maneuvers were everywhere, and now that he was stationed at the Xichuan Commandery, he naturally had to plan accordingly.
