Chapter 141: Challenging the Impossible

"It is not that I am unwilling to explain the situation to you now that things have reached this point, but rather that our capabilities are simply insufficient for the current circumstances. If you truly wish to obtain that object, I advise you to stay here a while longer. It will save you from further trouble, and it will certainly make things easier for everyone involved."

As soon as these words were spoken, the face of the person standing before him grew even more awkward. After all, they had long since understood the nature of the predicament they were facing. If this item were truly so easy to retrieve, the others nearby would not have needed to go to such lengths.

By comparison, the speed of cultivation in the Frozen Realm was slower than in the previous three trial grounds. The power of ice and cold was simply too intense—so overwhelming that even a master of thunder and fire like Duanmu Xiaotian could barely endure it.

And yet, he dared to request the Emperor’s presence with such near-insolence. If not for this matter, what else could have driven him to such lengths? Unable to explain himself to the gate guard general, he had no choice but to threaten him with his own life.

"Oh, you! A moment ago you were as cold as ice, and now you are in such a frantic rush—it is as if you are two different people." Wei Tuan'er stamped her feet in frustration, but seeing no other option, she offered a wry smile, retrieved her mount, donned her veil, and set off to catch up with Li Xian.

The officials offered their congratulations in unison. Regardless of what they truly thought in their hearts, they all appeared full of warmth at that moment, and the palace was filled with a festive and joyful atmosphere to usher in the new year.

He would certainly not refuse such a task, but given his current situation, it was impossible. He would likely not be able to free up any time until half a year later.

The flames surrounding Yue Chengfeng suddenly retracted into his body, and a formidable aura erupted from within, sending pebbles and dust flying across the surrounding ground.

It was a routine meeting hosted by Flying Eagle, attended by the old guard and the rising generation he was cultivating for the future.

Suddenly, the starlight transformed into a flickering firefly, darting into Yue Chengfeng’s dantian and vanishing. The youth was startled and immediately turned his focus inward, yet he could detect no discomfort or abnormality.

In the ranking of the four supreme celestials of the world, Duanmu Xiaotian was once again ranked first, with Chi Tian second, Kong Yiyan third, and Huang Tengtian fourth.

The Chang'an District Hospital was not far from the sub-bureau, merely two streets away. To dare to lead a group to commit violence at such a close proximity required more than just courage.

"What?!" the Gemini gods and Artemis exclaimed, unable to believe this earth-shattering revelation.

Chi Tong’s expression changed drastically. She had not noticed when Ying Luo had approached. She turned and swung her sword, but Ying Luo dodged it with ease and followed up with a sweeping kick toward her.

She was selfish; she was truly unfit to be a priestess of great righteousness. She lacked the breadth of heart and the power to protect so many people. She only wanted to be kind to those who were kind to her, even if protecting her tribe was her birthright and mission.

The next morning, a carriage departed from the side gate of the Yu estate. Qing Rang looked out the window at the sky, which had not yet fully brightened; one never knew if the day would be sunny or overcast until the sun had risen.

"Are you worried about me?" The words slipped out before she could think, and Yan Xiaoxiao felt a flicker of regret, yet she could not suppress the anticipation growing in her heart.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, his eyes burning with fury. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, and he did not even notice the droplets of blood hitting the ground.

The Blood-Sucking Demon Tree would not sit idly by and wait for death, as it could neither withstand the edge of the Supreme Origin Sword nor endure the scorching destruction of the Myriad Fire Conflagration.

Was it just an illusion? He had caught a glimpse of sadness on her face just a moment ago. Jin Guangyan shook his head, not giving it much thought.

Yu Zichen stepped forward, pulling her close. "How do you know they misunderstood, and that I am a lecherous man?" His clothing was thin, yet his body felt scorching hot. She was covered in a chill, yet two blushes bloomed on her cheeks. She struggled for a moment before managing to put a step's distance between them.

"Then let us think of another way." Seeing that Shaohua’s mind was made up, Yuan Mochen realized they had no choice but to treat the dying horse as if it were still alive.

On the Tianyuan Continent, the Sacred Church had established a standardized ranking system for human experts. Although the Biter Empire did not take orders from the Sacred Church, they still adopted this system of classification.
