Chapter 85: Night Falls

"Bait?" Everyone looked at Lin Qian in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

"Didn't they say that the dead rise and move at night? But we don't know much about them. As night falls, we'll hide in the shadows and use this guy," Lin Qian pointed at Fu Heng, who was tied up with the Binding Rope, "as bait. We'll observe what happens between him and the undead."

Hearing Lin Qian's plan, Fu Heng's face turned pale with terror.

He knew about the undead activity in the...

Chapter 84: Binding Rope

After Ye Xin and the others left the building, they found themselves on the long stone street, where Lin Qian and Fu Heng were currently locked in battle.

Or rather, from Ye Xin and the others' perspective, it looked more like Fu Heng was being brutally beaten one-sidedly.

Despite being the one on the offensive, swinging his fully armed blood-red sword with ferocity, Fu Heng's attacks seemed utterly futile. His crimson sword traced arcs through the air, and the scarlet swor...

Chapter 83: Easily Handled

At this moment, Fu Heng's expression was as ugly as it could get.

Lin Qian's actions and words were a blatant insult, and Fu Heng felt as though a knife had been stabbed into his chest.

"Lin Qian, stop looking down on me!" Fu Heng, provoked by Lin Qian's taunt, turned red with rage, almost losing control of his emotions.

As Fu Heng's angry shout echoed through the air, his body became shrouded in a crimson aura of soul power, his expression twisted and terrifying.

Chapter 82: Not Using Full Power

Seeing Lin Qian stand up unscathed, Zhu Xiaojia, who had retreated a few steps, exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible? You clearly inhaled the Numbing Soul Smoke; there's no way you could still be standing!"

Lin Qian sneered as he turned to look at Zhu Xiaojia. "What if I told you I'm immune to all poisons? From the beginning, your so-called Numbing Soul Smoke had no effect on me."

"Immune to all poisons?" Zhu Xiaojia's face changed at Lin Qian's words. She had ne...

Chapter 81: Numbing Soul Smoke

After Zhu Xiaojia smashed the jade bottle on the ground, she dashed toward the door, where Liu Yueqian was standing in her way.

"Hmph!" A cold snort escaped from Zhu Xiaojia's lips as she channeled her soul power, imbued with the sharpness of metal, and struck Liu Yueqian squarely in the chest.

Thud!

The sudden attack from Zhu Xiaojia caught everyone off guard, especially Liu Yueqian, who had no time to defend herself. The blow landed directly on her heart, causing he...

Chapter 240: Sharing the Glory

Li You had never considered himself a good person, nor did he think that Chen Xi and Jia Xu were saints. However, today, he suddenly felt that he could actually find common ground with Chen Xi and Jia Xu!

Li You knew that, compared to Jia Xu and others, he was lacking in fundamental intelligence. If it hadn't been for his encounter with Zi Xu in his youth, Li You was well aware that his abilities wouldn't have taken him this far.

Originally, with his capabilities, reaching ...

Chapter 239: I Will Fight Again!

“Chen Shuzhi from Yuzhou greets Lord Xuande,” Hua Xiong released Chen Dao, and Chen Dao respectfully saluted Liu Bei.

“What a robust man,” Liu Bei said with a smile.

Soon, ten people had gathered. Liu Bei led the group inside. Pushing open the two large glass doors, Liu Bei looked at the interior, which was no less luxurious than his own home, with rows of bookshelves already filled with paper books. He sighed, “Wenru, regardless of how much Zichuan spent, at leas...

Chapter 238: A Bunch of Bumpkins Who’ve Never Seen the World

Li You knew there was no way to cover up this lie any longer—it was too obvious. Looking back now at what Chen Xi had told him, that all of this was made of dirt and sand, Li You wiped the sweat from his brow. How could he have been so foolish to believe it at the time?

The materials and the final product were two entirely different things. The skill of the craftsmen was the key. A shoddy craftsman could ruin even divine materials, while a master craftsman could turn even the m...

Chapter 237: Chen Xi, I Can't Keep Up With Your Lies, Can You Be More Low-key!

After sending Sun Qian off, Chen Xi had no interest in staying at the government office. After all, there weren't many junior officials behind the scenes whom Chen Xi even recognized, and some of them were set to step down after the year-end assessments. Chen Xi had no desire to get entangled with them; after all, those were the main forces behind blackening his reputation back then. Clearly, Chen Xi wasn’t the type to repay grievances with kindness.

According to his usual habi...

Chapter 236: The Situation Must Be Stabilized!

Once the general direction was set, the details would be left to many others to handle. For example, Lu Su was now reluctantly accepting the task. After working with Chen Xi for so long, he knew one thing: Chen Xi usually just set the broad direction, and he wouldn't bother with the troublesome work of filling in the details. That responsibility mainly fell to Lu Su.

"Now we just need to wait for the completion of the Jingling Temple and the Library Pavilion," Chen Xi said as he ...

Chapter 235: Reform, Reform, Reform!

"Only military merit can grant nobility, and only noble titles can grant high office." If this were said during the Song Dynasty, where scholars held power, it would be met with fierce opposition. In the Ming Dynasty, where military officials were automatically considered inferior to civil officials, such a statement would be met with ridicule and disdain.

This is why later dynasties criticized this notion. It was because scholars held power, and they couldn't allow military offi...

Chapter 234: Let's Implement Reforms!

"For the sake of maintaining prosperity and security, to prevent the aging of our military forces, and to avoid the tragedy of fathers and sons fighting on the battlefield together..." Lu Su opened the plan document, and the first sentence he read was this grand, idealistic statement. This was typical of Chen Xi, who liked to start with something that placed him on the highest moral ground. That way, even if he lost the battle, he would still be seen as a champion of the people.

...

Chapter 233: Let's Start a New Strategic Plan

Chen Xi pressed his forehead, unsure of what to say. "It's just a ritual, but do you really need to go this far? Even inviting Zuo Ci... What exactly are you planning?"

"Alright, keep up the good work. Is Zuo Yuanfang already on his way to Mount Tai? Also, since you have good connections, try to find Hua Yuanhua from Qiao County as well. He's also considered a top figure among the alchemists. If you can find him, I'll increase your activity budget. Right now, your arrangements se...

Chapter 232: Inviting the Hidden Master

Neither Liu Bei nor his advisors had any knowledge of Cao Cao's thoughts, nor did they pay much attention to his reoccupation of eastern Yanzhou.

Cao Cao had abandoned the eastern part of Yanzhou earlier, and Liu Bei didn’t bother to seize it. After all, what Liu Bei lacked was not land but people. He hadn’t even fully absorbed Qingzhou yet, so disrupting his own development to occupy Cao Cao's lands seemed pointless. As a result, the eastern part of Yanzhou had been left to ...

Chapter 231: In the End, It's Strength That Counts!

Cao Cao had always harbored a certain wariness toward Lü Bu, which is why he was not particularly enthusiastic about Xun Yu's suggestion. After all, Cao Cao did not currently feel any sense of urgency.

Reflecting on the past when Yuan Shu was arrogantly challenging everyone across the map, Cao Cao now realized that when it came to a direct confrontation, he was actually stronger. From commanders to strategists, from generals to soldiers, it seemed that in every aspect, he surpas...

Chapter 140: No Grandmaster in the World Can Move a Finger!

The sudden turn of events was shocking. Before the crowd could react, they saw the imposing divine figure, burning with divine power, and the Buddha's direct disciple being suppressed under its fingertip like a dead dog, unable to move.

This was the top of the Qianlong List, a direct disciple of the Buddha!

Famous since his youth, he had entered the Grandmaster realm at the age of nineteen and had dominated the Qianlong List for three years!

During this period, no one...

Chapter 139: Dropping One Stone to Suppress All Grandmasters

Chapter 139: Dropping One Stone to Suppress All Grandmasters

Seeing Li Hao's calm smile, Li Wushuang felt momentarily lost. Beyond this brief concern, she suddenly realized that they were somewhat strangers to each other. Despite being cousins by blood, their relationship seemed less intimate than that between Li Hao and the disciples of the Palace of Palms.

After a brief silence, Li Wushuang recalled her father's words and the threats looming over Liangzhou. She transmitted a mes...

Chapter 138: The General's Mansion Has Lost Him

"One move," Li Hao thought for a moment and said objectively.

Ren Qianqian's eyes lit up, trusting Li Hao's words without doubt, given his vastly superior swordsmanship. She had barely managed to exchange a few moves with her opponent.

"What about the Tenth Level of Soul Fusion?" she asked.

"One move."

"And a newcomer to the Divine Wandering Realm?"

"One move."

"..."

Seeing Ren Qianqian's stunned expression, Li Hao chuckled and turned, saying, ...

Chapter 137: Ren Qianqian Crosses Boundaries

"Really?"

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Zhou Haitang was somewhat surprised.

After all, he was a Tianren (Heavenly Being) master, and yet, someone had actually refused his personal invitation.

Considering his disciple's earlier remarks, this young man must possess considerable martial skills to approach without disturbing the candle flame, indicating great potential. Once he reaches the Fifteen Mile Realm, his chances of advancing to the Tianren realm are far greater t...

Chapter 136: Introduction

"After all, he is just a youth." "People chase fame and fortune, unlike us who pursue elegance."

The two young temple caretakers laughed as they talked.

Li Hao, who had already walked away, heard this and returned. He grabbed a handful of white stones from the Go board and placed them in five positions on the board. He then hummed lightly and left.

"How dare you, boy..."

The young caretaker playing the white stones was furious and was about to scold the boy, but...

Chapter 135: Fifth on the Qian-Kun Rankings

The little white fox looked up and licked the edge of Li Hao's hand, gazing at him pitifully.

Li Hao chuckled. "You definitely can't go to the martial temple, or you'd be killed the moment you step in."

For demons, soul fusion followed a similar path as for humans. Those with heritage could fuse with the souls of their ancestors. Those without had to seek out other powerful demons to gain a legacy.

If they were still living in the God General's mansion, Li Hao could h...

Chapter 134: Deadly Attributes

Winter snow fluttered down, cloaking the world in silver.

Cold winds blew through the pass.

In the small courtyard, Ren Qianqian was practicing her swordsmanship in the snow. The sword wind howled, swirling the snow around her. She moved with light steps, as agile as a butterfly, her sword strikes light and precise.

"The sword techniques are just appearances. You need to grasp the essence and true meaning of the sword's trajectory," Li Hao said, squatting in the snow,...

Chapter 133: The Trial of Liu Yuerong

As the scrolls of martial arts were taken away by the elders, Li Tiangang also escorted everyone out of the courtyard. He then returned to his study to pick up the interrogation report he had been reading earlier. This was his second time going through it, ensuring there were no omissions.

Not long after, he finished reading it for the second time.

Li Tiangang stood in silence, staring at the training ground in the courtyard. There stood a dragon-sinew straw target, now tat...

Chapter 132: War

Returning so many techniques at once shows how determined that child is to sever ties with Li Tiangang!

Seeing Li Tiangang's dark face, He Jianlan sighed and said:

"Tiangang, after all, you are his father. Don't hold grudges against Hao'er. If not for the open-mindedness of our elders, your marriage to Qingqing would have faced countless obstacles, and your children would have been subjected to all kinds of criticism."

"Everyone says Hao'er is lucky, but where is his ...

Chapter 131: Repaying the First Favor to the Li Family

Seeing Li Hao casually chatting with this great demon king, Li Hongzhuang and Li He felt extremely conflicted.

They could see that this great demon king was very fond of Li Hao, as if they were close friends. This kind of relationship couldn't be attributed to the prestige of the Li family or even Li Hao's own extraordinary talent.

After all, this was a Four Pillar Realm great demon king.

Even if Li Hao had unparalleled talent, his future potential would most likely b...

Chapter 230: According to the Report...

When the news of Gan Ning's impressive achievements arrived, Chen Xi was in the middle of explaining to Qu Qi why simply relying on superior seeds wasn't enough, emphasizing how hybridization could yield miracles. He was also introducing Qu Qi to Mendel's pea plant theories.

Qu Qi's eyes sparkled with interest. Although he hadn't specifically studied these theories, as a professional agricultural expert with seven or eight years of experience, he'd encountered strange cases where...

Chapter 229: Let's Hide in the Temple of Shennong!

As Qingzhou anxiously awaited changes in the situation in Jizhou, the second urgent report finally arrived from Jizhou.

"..." Fazheng glanced at the report, and the anxiety he had been feeling instantly dissipated. He returned to the calm demeanor expected of a strategist.

"Mr. Jia, look at this report. Gan Xingba has certainly lived up to his title as Chief Commander. He is indeed a first-class general of our time. His courage and grasp of battle opportunities are truly im...

Chapter 228: A Hundred Riders Raiding the Camp

Gan Ning moved quickly because he knew that as soon as Yuan Shao's troops reacted and enough men left their tents, the camp's cloud-like formation would quickly form, making his raid a suicide mission. His only requirement for this operation was speed—so fast that ninety percent of the camp wouldn't have time to respond before he was already gone.

"Yuan Shao, prepare to die!" Gan Ning spotted a man holding a sword emerging from the central military tent. His heart leaped with j...

Chapter 227: A Fire in the Deep Autumn

Gan Ning cast a glance at Gan Lan, feeling an uncontrollable urge to set things on fire. Ever since he casually tossed a torch, and his men followed suit by throwing out a bunch of torches, turning the Handan granary into scorched earth, Gan Ning had suddenly realized a strategy—nothing beats setting things on fire!

"Gan Lan, I’ve got a task for you," Gan Ning said, tossing aside the half-eaten beef leg. "It’s a tough one, something only someone extraordinary can handle." 2024-08-18 08:35:49 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 226: The Restless Heart of Burn, Burn, Burn...

Gan Ning, with his men each riding three horses, galloped madly until they reached the place where their boats were hidden. After dragging the boats out from the reeds, they were left staring at the nearly thousand horses they had seized. The problem was, they couldn’t take them all with them.

"Gan Lan, see if there are any river bandits around here. As the boss, I’m going to requisition some boats," Gan Ning said helplessly. He couldn’t bear to leave the horses behind.
