Chapter 580: Research Results

The decision to send Zhao Yun to Yanzhou was finally settled. The remaining issue was whether Chen Xi would assume command.

If Chen Xi didn't take command, according to the standard chain of command, even if Zhao Yun went to Yanzhou, he would only be able to act in support and wouldn't have the authority to lead operations independently. This could easily give Chen Gong the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

"Forget it, let's not discuss this for now. Zilong will need s...

Chapter 579: Xu Shao's Contemplations

There was no need to elaborate on Fa Zheng's unfortunate situation; everyone present was well aware. To suggest that Fa Xiaozhi had no feelings for Jiang Ying would be hard to believe. Fa Zheng claimed that he hurriedly took a concubine to ensure his father's peace of mind, but everyone knew the real story. However, Liangzhou was too far away, and even if Liu Bei wanted to intervene, he found himself powerless to do so.

"Getting married is also a sign of adulthood. Kongming, stay...

Chapter 578: Various Rankings

Liu Yan glanced around the room, and even Zhuge Liang showed a hint of interest. It seemed that the saying "A fair lady is what every gentleman desires" held true.

"Diao Chan," Liu Yan said solemnly, raising his thumb.

"Of course," Lu Su, Chen Xi, and the others nodded in agreement. There was a clear political inclination in this ranking, but that was inevitable. Diao Chan's actions aligned with the era's values of loyalty and filial piety, and she was undoubtedly a beauty....

Chapter 577: Xu Zi's Monthly Commentary

Chen Xi was equally helpless. Lu Bu's overwhelming strength had caught him off guard, just as it likely troubled Yuan Shao's side now. However, compared to Yuan Shao's reported heavy losses, Chen Xi couldn't help but inwardly chuckle a bit, despite trying to maintain his usual calm demeanor. Liu Bei's forces had suffered over two thousand casualties, but Yuan Shao's situation seemed even more dire.

"Manru, do you have any accurate information on the Formation Breaker?" Chen Xi tu...

Chapter 576: A Long-Term Strategy

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao personally covered the retreat, leading the Bingzhou Wolf Riders as they slowly withdrew. After both forces had engaged, Lu Bu realized that there was little point in continuing the battle under these circumstances, given the effects of Guan Yu's army's morale-boosting abilities.

"Lu Bu isn't in much of a hurry, is he?" Guo Jia sighed as he watched Lu Bu's forces retreat. It was clear that his thick cloud formation was meant to overwhelm Lu Bu with sheer numb...

Chapter 575: The Liu-Lü Battle Concludes

"Are we really just going to charge in like this?" Chen Chi turned to Guo Jia and asked.

"If our forces haven't collapsed, we'll charge straight in. If they have, then we'll form a defensive line!" Guo Jia replied almost instantly, without a second thought.

"Alright!" Chen Chi nodded. "In a moment, have the whole army shout in unison and beat the war drums loudly!"

Chen Chi ordered the messengers to quickly pass this command to the various commanders. Soon, the messag...

Chapter 574: The Situation Is Dire

Chen Gong led two thousand soldiers hiding in the tall grass. If it weren't for the large expanse of reeds, Chen Gong wouldn't have chosen this place for an ambush.

"General Cao, you have sharp eyes. If you see any sign of fire, inform me immediately," Chen Gong said to Cao Xing, who was crouching beside him. The biggest fear when hiding in a reed field is being set on fire. But with no time to dig trenches, this was the only place suitable for an ambush, so Chen Gong had no choi...

Chapter 573: Heaven Leaves a Way Out

Guo Jia began to reverse-engineer all the calculations, starting with Zhang Fei's personality, Guan Yu's attitude towards Zhang Fei, Guan Yu's temperament, the confidence built from consecutive victories, and the situation after the arrival of the third internal energy master, Xu Chu.

"So, this is how it is..." Guo Jia suddenly knocked over the water bowl. Chen Chi's words had completely clarified the current situation. Guo Jia trusted Guan Yu's judgment, and since Guo Jia didn't...

Chapter 572: Even the Wisest Can Make a Mistake

While Zhou Cang was racing back to the main camp to request reinforcements from Guo Jia, Guo Jia and Chen Chi were casually enjoying their breakfast, consisting of spring water and wild vegetables.

"I wonder how the situation is going now," Guo Jia murmured, smacking his lips as if trying to extract a hint of wine from the spring water. However, it was clear that this was nothing more than wishful thinking.

"It shouldn’t be a big problem. Even if General Zhang can’t def...

Chapter 571: Total Defeat

Lu Bu’s Sky Piercer halberd clashed with Xu Chu’s blade, and in that instant, a crimson brilliance burst forth from both Lu Bu's weapon and his arm. Red Hare, sensing the moment, lunged at Xu Chu’s horse, trying to bite it.

Both Lu Bu and Xu Chu quickly disengaged after the exchange. Sitting on Red Hare, Lu Bu swayed slightly, smirking. "I underestimated you. In terms of strength, you are second only to Dian Wei among the generals I've faced."

Xu Chu looked at Lu Bu w...

Chapter 340: Absorbing the Extreme Path, Half-Saint Demons

At this moment, Zhao Qingshu appeared somewhat disheveled. A hint of shock flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it as he stepped out of the void fissure. He looked up at the sky clock, where the vast corona displayed the time.

As he had roughly counted during the battle, there wasn't much difference from what he expected, though he had made some miscalculations.

"One quarter of an hour…" Zhao Qingshu's heart sank, and a bitter smile tugged at his lips. Only after...

Chapter 339: The Floating Demon Realm and the Twin Buddha Sons

Chiguang hadn't expected that his attempt to keep a low profile would be taken seriously by a certain someone.

"It seems I won't be able to stay low-key this time..." A sharp glint flashed in Chiguang's eyes as he thought of the demon figure that his master had mentioned in relation to the Twin Buddha Sons. The fire of battle burned brightly in his gaze.

On the other side, with the selection battle approaching, members of the Flower Appreciation Society, including Yezu and ...

Chapter 110: Instant Kill of an Eighth Tier

"This guy..." Xiaofeng’s face changed drastically as he witnessed the scene unfold.

Initially, he thought today's plan was foolproof, but now, seeing the situation, doubt crept into his heart.

No, it's impossible.

With three ninth-tier warriors and nine eighth-tier warriors, they couldn't possibly fail, right?

One of the ninth-tier warriors, wielding a ghostly blue sword, was the first to charge forward—Ou Feng, known as the "Poison Blade."<...

Chapter 109: The Battle Begins!

"Yes, it's definitely here," Xiaofeng nodded. "In the hands of Star City's City Lord."

One of the warriors sneered, "Heh, seems like the old man from Qing City didn’t want to come himself. Sent you instead—afraid of dying, is he?"

Xiaofeng ignored the taunt. This group included several ninth-tier warriors, and the rest were peak eighth-tier. Among them, Xiaofeng's strength was insignificant.

"So, how are we splitting the sword once we get it?" another warrior aske...

Chapter 108: Arrival of the Ninth Tier

"Earlier, my attitude was out of line, Ren Xing. Don’t take it to heart..." Commander Cheng stood up and slowly began retreating as he spoke, his voice trembling with regret.

Now, fear gripped him tightly. Ren Xing wasn’t acting like a typical city lord—he was more like a madman. Why had he provoked such a lunatic?

"It’s too late for that," Ren Xing said with a sinister smile. "I’ve been planning to replace you for a while now. I just moved up the schedule."

Chapter 107: I Will Become a Commander!

"Keep the Desert Bandit King's head safe. I need it to show to Commander Cheng later," Ren Xing ordered as he looked at Huang Conghui in the main hall of Star City's City Lord's residence.

"Understood!" Huang Conghui nodded and quickly left.

Once Huang Conghui was gone, Ren Xing sat back down and resumed his cultivation.

"The people from Qing City should be making their move soon," he murmured to himself, all while continuing to absorb energy from the nearby source st...

Chapter 106: Turbulence Stirring

"Who are you?" Tian You, the Desert Bandit King, demanded, staring at Ren Xing with narrowed eyes.

As he scanned the area, he realized that over a hundred of his men had been killed in such a short time. This man in front of him had to be a warrior above the seventh tier! Moreover, Tian You could clearly sense an eerie, demonic aura emanating from Ren Xing's body, and the strange sword in his hand exuded an overwhelming killing intent.

The malevolence was almost suffocating...

Chapter 110: Huangquan Sect!

“Master, are you really not staying a few more days?”

Outside the main gates of the Zhou family, Zhou Xiang looked at Qin Chuan with eager eyes, clearly hoping that he would stay longer.

“No, I have matters that I must attend to,” Qin Chuan said as he slowly lifted his gaze toward the distant horizon.

His eyes were resolute, as if they held the sun, moon, and stars within them, as though his heart was vast enough to care for all of the people under the heavens...

Chapter 109: Yet Another Show-Off!

“You… you…”

The red-haired elder glared furiously at Zhou Xiang, but he couldn’t utter another word. It was as if something had lodged in his throat.

He knew he had lost.

Completely and utterly.

The moment Zhou Xiang revealed his Saint Realm cultivation, any chance of a comeback had vanished—whether Zhou Xiang was right or wrong, he would be treated as being in the right regardless.

“Fine, fine, fine!”

Finally, the elder spat out the ...

Chapter 108: So What If I Kill Him!

"You seek death!!"

The red-haired elder's eyes radiated terrifying killing intent as he prepared to charge again, but once more, he was stopped.

Instead, he could only roar in fury, "You little brat, don't try to weasel your way out of this! So many people entered the Phoenix Fire Nest, and none of them were harmed—only Zhou Shang was! You definitely did something underhanded!"

"And what's your reasoning?" Qin Zi sneered disdainfully.

"Isn't it obvious? Becaus...

Chapter 107: Completely Winning Over the Pork Butcher

Faced with this sudden request to become a disciple, Qin Chuan was momentarily taken aback.

Originally, he just wanted to pull off some light-hearted persuasion, gaining a bit of goodwill, because he knew that such eccentric individuals in the cultivation world were rarely simple.

They often had extraordinary potential.

But he hadn't expected the other person to be so direct, immediately placing him in the role of a master.

This put a lot of pressure on him!

Chapter 106: Accept My Bow as a Disciple!

After watching Qin Zi enter the abyss, Qin Chuan left the edge of the chasm, seeing no point in waiting around.

More importantly...

He had set his eyes on that pig-loving, overweight man, Zhou Xiang. Following the typical pattern of the cultivation world, such peculiar individuals often had unique qualities.

It was worth trying to persuade him…

The Zhou family owned a massive pig farm, complete with a slaughterhouse.

In the world of martial cultivation, ...

Chapter 225: Deep Brotherly Bond

"Two black lotus herbs here?"

Not long after parting ways with Taylors, Tucker made a new discovery. He stood beside a bush, his face full of joy.

"Rylei mentioned that the roots of the black lotus herb are quite fragile. When pulling it out, I need to be careful and loosen the surrounding soil first..." Tucker muttered to himself while cautiously digging around the plant.

Halfway through, the soil had become quite loose. Based on his experience, Tucker judged that ...

Chapter 224: Brotherly Bond

"That's right, these are the black lotus herbs you need. But it seems you've already gathered enough, so the seven I have here might not be of much use to you..." Taylors said, staring at the handful of dark-colored plants resembling mint leaves, shaking his head in mock disappointment.

"Taylors, don't say that!" Tucker's face lit up with joy as he opened his arms to welcome Taylors. Walking toward him, he said, "I knew you had a kind heart. These black lotus herbs are just wha...

Chapter 223: Raile Advances to Level Three Mage

Hogus's expression remained unchanged, revealing no emotions. He said, "Count Rhett, the reason I'm telling you this is because I want to hear your true thoughts. Whatever decision you make—whether you choose to keep Carol or let her go—I will honor your request."

Rhett quietly exhaled a sigh of relief.

If it were anyone else, he might not have cared much, accepting them as just another source of information. But Carol was different. She was not only the wife of his g...

Chapter 222: The Trouser Knight

Rhett met Hogus's gaze and shrugged, saying, "I don't know which White Hat you're referring to. All I know is that Reilly met someone recently who told him to call him White Hat."

Hogus smiled as if realizing something, "Ah, so it really is a small world…"

Sensing something was off, Rhett asked, "Does White Hat have another identity? Could he be someone from the royal palace?"

"Not quite." Hogus shook his head, then pondered for a moment before asking, "Have you h...

Chapter 221: Exchange of Profound Mysteries

As a royal mage closely tied to the royal family, Hogus had a clearer understanding of the profound mysteries than most.

In the earth element, almost every profound mystery is independent, but the Disintegration Profundity and the Condensation Profundity, though seemingly opposite, are deeply connected. Either one alone may not stand out among all the profound mysteries, but once the two are combined, allowing for seamless transformation between condensat...

Chapter 225: Frost Descends

After hearing the explanations from his fellow disciples, Song Jusheng finally understood the situation. Upon learning that the sect leader was gone and Sunyang Sect had been taken over by an outsider at the Nascent Soul stage, he no longer dared to return. Instead, he followed the group of fellow disciples back to their residence in the capital.

The residence that the court had assigned to the three major sects was quite favorable. It covered a large area, wasn’t too far from the bus...

Chapter 224: Li Zhouxuan

With the collapse of Sunyang Sect, the balance of power in Pusi Kingdom, once maintained by the three major sects and the imperial court, had shifted. Now, only two major sects remained. This shift was not good news for the court—nor for Li Zhouxuan himself. As an emperor, he sought stability, not drastic changes.

And it wasn’t just internal threats he had to worry about—there were external dangers too. The mortal realm wasn't composed of Pusi Kingdom alone. Several neighbo...

Chapter 223: Chatting at the Village Entrance

Hearing the village chief mention the past, Liu Yunan couldn’t help but recall old memories, and his eyes began to redden.

“Back then, when I was starving and had no food, Xiao would risk getting beaten by Uncle Lin to bring me some dried rations.”

Seeing his emotions, Clan Leader Hu patted him on the shoulder with a gentle smile and said, “You’re all good kids, full of affection. Our village will rely on you young ones in the future. With kids like you, we old fo...
