Chapter 80: Ever-Changing

With a sweep of sword energy enveloping him, he transformed into a streak of sword light, deftly evading the boundless sea of pure arcane power. He returned to the city wall and sat down once more. His movements were ethereal, and with a single stroke, he beheaded his foe, displaying the elegance and prowess of a true Sword Immortal to the fullest.

He himself felt little, but the impact on both sides was profound. For the Fuxi faction, spirits soared as shouts of triumph shook the very heavens. In stark contrast, the coalition of the Hundred Clans saw their morale plummet instantly, as if struck over the head, leaving them dazed and dispirited.

At that moment, a black lotus seed appeared on the floor, from within which a familiar voice spoke.

Looking at the sickly green mess on his hand, Liu Qi—despite being a doctor—could not suppress a scream of horror.

"Activate optical stealth mode," Huang Yaoshi called out to the mute servant adjusting the equipment in the command cabin.

As the black mist finally dispersed, everyone saw that Wei Baizhan had just lunged forward and knocked the artifact from Ying Xi’s grasp.

Among the refugees, someone cried, "Why haven't we received our bread yet? Are you trying to freeze and starve us to death?" With a dull thud, someone collapsed, clearly overcome by hunger and cold.

After making the discovery, the mute servant refrained from acting rashly. Instead, he carefully investigated several times before reporting to Huang Yaoshi on the ground.

Ying Lili concealed her doubts, propped up Xingyuan Jing’s arm, and gently led him toward the door.

Upon entering Xichun’s chamber, she casually glanced around as if searching for something, but her movements were so subtle that unless someone watched her intently, they would hardly notice anything amiss.

"You don’t know how you entered the Grandmaster’s realm?" Mu Renqing was astonished—such a thing was unheard of.

"Rong, just let Director Xiao have a drink. Besides, isn’t this perfect material? Let’s really experience it for once today, don’t you think?" Su Fen tugged at Jiang Yarang’s sleeve.

All along the way, countless curious gazes fell upon us. After all, we made quite a spectacle.

Xiao Chenyu gazed at his wife, whose appearance had changed. Yet the aura she exuded, her every gesture, every smile and tear, remained so familiar that his very soul trembled in response.

Li Hua struggled a few times, but his efforts were feeble. The blow had left him in such pain that he could barely recover, his whole body convulsing with agony.

"Don’t you want to transcend this time? To gain a vast harvest of souls?" The unicorn’s master could no longer contain himself, finally expressing his simmering anger to the master of the Triangular Brand.

Did this wretched bastard really only hear that one insult out of everything his mother said? She thought bitterly that she should never have bothered to care about him.

Qi Bingzhong was still on the road, and even if he arrived, he might lack the necessary authority. Thus, Ye Xun had to see this matter through before leaving.

"If you’re so bent on being unreasonable, don’t blame me for being ruthless," Wang Le said through gritted teeth.

"Humanity." If everyone is selfish and cold, if no one can warm another’s heart, then we cease to be human, for all human kindness will be lost.

Was it not because I witnessed the injustice of rural marriages, the unfairness of everything, and parents dictating lives yet neglecting their offspring, that I raised my voice in protest?

After finishing, Hong Xiu glanced enviously at Baozhu’s belly, then subconsciously touched her own, grumbling inwardly about that heartless eunuch’s blatant favoritism.

Last time, when Tang Ming was taken by the police, the busty girl used the same excuse to call her father for help in rescuing him.

"Can you not be so shameless?" Mo Xichen, both amused and exasperated, seldom showed off except among her sisters. Today, for the first time in her life, she dueled a man and suffered a crushing defeat.

Back in the day, the key he obtained in the God-Burial Mountain turned out to be one of three required to unlock the Land of Reversal, within which the marks of the final four gates were sealed. That was why the Nine Clans and various Daoist sects sought to open the Land of Reversal and reclaim those four marks.
