Chapter 145: Playing for Real

"Actually, I didn't even intend to keep explaining things to you guys here..."

Deep down, each of them knew just how humiliating their current situation was. At this juncture, it was utterly impossible for them to easily trust anyone. If someone were to casually trust another person in a situation like this, they would likely be not far from death.

"To think you can still trust me under these circumstances—your trust in me is truly extraordinary. But have you ever considered what would happen if I really had been sent by that side? Back then, I could have taken the lives of all of you with just a few casual moves!"

The suppressing cauldron was summoned, its entire body wreathed in thunder patterns. It collided with that streak of colorful light, instantly producing a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar.

While Baisen might sneer at or mock such people, those cowardly, weak, and impotent trash were not even qualified to be mocked or ridiculed by him.

That was his soul power, resembling white mist drifting through mountain fields, the only difference being that it was intertwined with immortal aura, with auspicious multicolored light occasionally overflowing from it.

By this time, many tables had already been occupied. Some were ordinary commoners, but quite a few were cultivators holding sabers and swords, dressed in luxurious garments, with faint ripples of spiritual power emanating from their bodies.

However, just as Mu Xinye had anticipated, these fellows were indeed aiming with a purpose. They used the trapped cultivators of the Carefree Sect as bait, all for the purpose of slaughtering more orthodox peers like Kunlun.

Beneath the deep sea, within a vast emptiness, a huge golden clam suddenly and quietly retreated from a blaze of intense golden light.

The formidable shockwave of energy swept outward like a raging sea and violent billows, and fierce gale-force winds surged across the wilderness, making it difficult for everyone to even open their eyes.

"What? Chao Gai led troops to attack Yunzhou Prefecture?" Jiang De almost choked on the water he was drinking and spat it out.

The water in this pool was terrifyingly intense, rolling with thunder and harboring a special kind of energy; it was certainly not the meteorological thunder and lightning of the mortal world.

Li Sheng hurriedly brought Li Yunhui back to the place where he had buried his columbarium jar. When Li Yunhui arrived and took a look at the burial spot, his eyes widened and his brows furrowed.

Hearing this, Wumo also put down his wine cup and waited for Wujumi's reply. Because Dayuan frequently waged war against Wusun, for no other reason than that Wusun coveted Dayuan's national treasure—the Heavenly Horses. If it weren't for the Western Regions this time, Dayuan would still have treated Wusun as a mortal enemy.

Zhuang Jian closed his eyes, quietly sensing the faintly flickering points of light high above the dome. Every single speck of light among them was a node of the formation. As spiritual power flowed between them, they formed starlight-like points of light. If the formation diagram were to expand, this spiritual power would transform into whirlpools, thereby constructing the universe and the heavens.

"Old Tang, you've worked hard all these years. How should I compensate you?" Milan placed her hand over Old Tang's.

Recalling the spell I had just memorized in my mind, I realized it was a malicious and vicious art that sacrificed the soul after death to destroy the body of the person one loathed, condemning their soul to eternal damnation without reincarnation while also shortening the lifespan of the caster themselves.

I was momentarily stunned before replying, "I don't have mysophobia, and besides, I don't find you repulsive!" With that, I quickly finished her portion in three or four bites, though I was still very hungry.

Yan Chengqian had searched for her outside the entire day without success, so he returned home in frustration. The moment he pushed open her door and saw that figure lying peacefully and securely on the bed, he let out a relieved sigh of comfort.

She shifted her body somewhat uneasily; Gongsun Ye's hand was still resting on her waist.

Only then did Lannolais react, looking at Binya with a somewhat peculiar expression: This guy's acting skills are truly top-notch; not a single flaw can be detected at all.

Moreover, Su Jinyan held a very high position in Canglan, and the security at his estate must certainly be tight. After all, there were very few people in this world who would dare to sneak into the Left Prime Minister's mansion to eavesdrop.

Su Yi let out a cold snort, then suddenly reached out and coldly pinched Su Xia's chin, forcing her head up so that her gaze had no choice but to meet his.
