Volume 1, Chapter 54: Admitting Defeat?

"Accept this loss!"

Yao Jian said bluntly and directly: "Since Shen Ji could set a trap for him, he can certainly set a trap for Shen Ji in return! First swallow our pride and put on a weak front, then wait for the right opportunity to get it all back with interest!"

For a shrewd and seasoned veteran like Yao Jian, this was not a big deal at all!

Only those who can bend and stretch are true heroes!

To deal with a brainless brute like Shen Ji, he had a thousand ways at his disposal.

However, it was impossible for him to make a move against Shen Ji personally.

"That's good. I was worried that after following me, you would wear a gloomy look all day long, which would have made me feel uneasy as well!" Na Tie laughed.

Right in front of everyone, Lin Xiao directly summoned the full set of battle armor left behind by the Master of the Immortal Palace that he had just acquired.

He said those words naturally to buy time, though they were also his true thoughts.

Major Qiao Hui twitched the corner of his mouth, pulled out a cigarette butt, and flicked the ash into the ashtray. The indoor circulation system immediately decomposed the ash, presenting a spotless ashtray before him once again.

However, what puzzled Pan Yuhong was that even if the death energy came from that pitch-black dagger, the death energy on King Song was primordial death energy. If the dagger could emit primordial death energy, wouldn't that mean the dagger would lose its death energy? Was doing something like that really worth it?

Using one mind for two tasks was the simplest thing imaginable. Controlling the sword pellet with divine soul power while wielding a sword oneself was definitely not just a matter of one plus one equaling two.

Having made up her mind, Qing Hong felt a lot more relaxed instead. She was actually quite looking forward to the cliché drama of two men fighting over a woman, just wondering which one her mother would choose: the past beloved or the unwavering pursuer? She was so, so looking forward to it. One had to admit that Qing Hong could sometimes be truly... very wicked.

The reason it was only a few people from the Liuliu Kingdom was that the others had all been claimed and led back by their respective sects. The advantages enjoyed by the victors determined in the team battles had already become apparent from the moment they entered the Valley of Demons.

Fortunately, Mo Ling'er's innate causality grand dao, once activated, completely wiped away all their traces.

"Sister Mei, what do you think of this place?" Pan Yuhong asked Mei Xuelian, who was beside her.

Lin Yi's sword moves grew increasingly unhurried and graceful. Every sword stroke he slashed out seemed as effortless as picking things at will, as light and casual as a breeze, and as smooth and integrated as a flowing stream.

Meanwhile, Qin Wuhai and Steward Bai seemed to have sensed something as well, rushing out in a panic. Upon seeing Meng Yiyu, Qin Wuhai was momentarily startled before immediately reacting, and then looked with astonishment at Wen Qingzhi standing beside him.

That was Zhang Wei's first reaction upon seeing his true appearance. However, having learned his lesson just moments ago, he did not dare to lower his guard; his brow furrowed, and his fist blasted out fiercely.

As the man in white soared into the high sky, all the cultivators hovering in the air throughout the entire Taixu City were so frightened that they all dropped to the ground. Even so, some of them were still trembling all over.

"That is wonderful indeed. Could it be that Senior Brother and Senior Sister have gone off to wander the world?" The third junior brother continued to ask.

Wen Qingzhi looked at the box in his hand with great joy. His primordial spirit had been in a state of severe injury, preventing him from displaying some of the extremely hidden rule powers of his Longevity Dao. Now, with these withered leaves of the Jinuyu flower, he reckoned he would be able to repair a portion of his injuries.

"If you keep acting like this, don't blame me for completely stripping away your cultivation," Tian Ermiao said.

However, Ling Yu left one thing unsaid: she had twice gotten drunk at bars, passed out on the street, and been picked up as a corpse-like drunkard on both occasions.

"Niu Sha, how many rounds do you think Tian Ermiao can last?" Qi Hong was still pondering this matter.

Although he had not spent much time with Ye Tianchen, through his own observations and various rumors he had heard, he could determine that Ye Tianchen was not foolish; on the contrary, he was extremely smart.

"Your Honor, I plead guilty. It was all due to a moment of impulse that I caused harm to my second aunt. I will definitely thoroughly reform and turn over a new leaf..." The defendant's speech had obviously been prepared in advance, and coupled with a tearful expression, it displayed profound remorse that could not help but make one feel deeply sorrowful.
