One Hundred and Twenty-Six. Explanation (Two-in-One)

Longquan County, shortly after seven in the morning.

A caravan moved leisurely through the southern part of Longquan County. In the carriage at the very rear sat Pei Xiunian and the Imperial Princess of Qingqiu, long silent.

It was indeed as eerily quiet as Qiluo had described, but it was not because of any sound-dampening formation; rather, the atmosphere inside the carriage was truly rather awkward.

This all traced back to that morning at the tavern.

Pei Xiunian had absolutely no idea what had happened during the night.

If the organization possessed such a god-like existence, did that not mean the organization’s strength far exceeded that of the Special Warfare Security Department? One might even say it had long since surpassed the entirety of the Water-Blue Planet.

It was estimated that once those press releases were sent out, combined with the "massive" number of photographs, the image of the Japanese people as "venomous snakes" in the international community would be set in stone forever.

"I understand. What you say makes sense. But if you were to go and persuade them alongside the Boundless Heavenly Venerate, what are the odds of success?" Li Mo asked again.

She, who had always been aloof and imperious toward Ye Xiu, showed a side never seen before in her efforts to convince him to leave.

Especially for the veteran members of Xiaocheng who had accompanied Nian Jiyao along the way—from the time she had only just reached the Sovereign cultivation realm to her current early Imperial Monarch stage, how little time had it actually taken her?

This battle went exactly as everyone expected: the Heavenly Prince was defeated. Even after unleashing various forbidden techniques, he was still slain by Ye Fan. Of course, Ye Fan did not come out unscathed; he suffered quite severe injuries.

It was time to leave, and there was no knowing when one might return. Perhaps by then, the situation would be completely different.

Staying in this dark chamber were five elders of the Golden Crow clan. Leading them was the Great Elder, Yang Feng, at the eighth heaven of the Saint Realm. There were also the Third and Fourth Elders at the seventh heaven of the Saint Realm, the Seventh Elder at the sixth heaven, and the Eighteenth Elder at the fourth heaven.

According to the realm classifications of the main world, a Great Golden Immortal was also a Saint Realm entity, a completely different major stage from a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Before long, Fang Zhesheng, dressed in wedding attire, arrived at the bedchamber with a calm expression. There were no traditional gate-blocking games, and he led Huangfu Yan away quite smoothly.

"So, what is your choice?" The system heard every word of Ji Meina’s inner thoughts clearly, but it would not revoke the mission just because of her insults.

Princess Hongyi was seen slowly crawling onto the divine fetus, reaching out to grasp the brocade box in the hands of the "Star Lord Lucun." She took it down with ease. Seeing this, the crowd cheered and applauded, thinking to themselves: Princess Hongyi is truly worthy of being a sovereign; she truly possesses such destiny.

To return to the story, after Bai Jinwu, Liang Xinhui, and Qu Wuzhou reunited, they headed straight for the "Dragon Gate Inn."

Finally, following the sound of singing and passing through a hundred-meter corridor, they arrived at the center of the grand hall—a clear pool about thirty zhang in length and width.

Otherwise, if he kept holding her, even if he truly meant nothing by it, it would become something.

However, the deathly pallor on her face had faded, replaced by the rosy glow that only healthy people possess.

Furthermore, he no longer cared about his reputation; even if he made a fool of himself, he could simply leave Lingzhou, and no one would ever know of his actions.

Tears welled up in Zhang Xiaohua’s eyes. She did not understand when she had started "puppy love." Her parents' harsh words pierced her heart like sharp blades. Everyone around them was smiling, and perhaps only the boy, held down by his father, looked somewhat disgruntled.

Following the shouts of those fellows, the other "dignified" elite individuals no longer had any interest in staying to watch the spectacle.

Under the joint efforts of Black and White, Dongfang Yunyang became significantly more passive, almost forced into a state of purely defensive maneuvers, and in the process of defending, his strength was almost completely suppressed.

Although the innate realm grants an extraordinary physique and one would certainly not die from being hit by a hand grenade, only a fool would go out of their way to get blown up.
