Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Radiant Sect (Part One and Two)

Immediately, some sneered, "A sorceress of the demonic sect, with countless lives in her hands—how shameless to accuse us, the righteous, of punishing evildoers! Such brazen arrogance!"

But when they truly laid eyes on the newcomer, something felt amiss.

The moonlight, clear and bright, illuminated the cold snow beneath the eaves. In the bamboo courtyard stood a sword cultivator dressed in white, carrying a sword on his back, exuding an aura of detached elegance that perfectly complemented the serene winter night.

Yet, alongside a group of cultivators from the righteous path, each clad differently, the contrast was stark.

"How is it possible? How could so many cavalry suddenly appear?" As a massive cavalry force surged over the horizon and swiftly came into view, even the primitive tribes of Wu Heng, still steeped in ignorance, found it hard to believe.

That dizzy, surreal sensation, as if wandering in a vacuum, persisted until Friday, the day of the celebratory banquet, when it finally began to ease.

Before she finished speaking, she abruptly pulled back the curtain. A shaft of sunlight streamed in, revealing Chen Rong curled up beneath the quilt, her hair still neatly pinned, not yet carefully undone.

Murong Mingzhu hurriedly asked, "What is the purpose of this gathering tonight? Does Master San have further instructions? Or is it truly just an invitation to feast and drink?" Her words were sharp and pressing, the noble son whose every wish was law now, after three cups of wine, seemed to have completely forgotten the earlier shame of the sword’s release.

He pushed open the door and entered. Returning to the room he had just left, the blood-soaked Zhuo Yuzhen was nowhere to be found.

In other words, it was either not to be used at all or unleashed with full force—there was no such thing as partial use or gradual strengthening.

I Meng also learned about those phantom figures. While chasing the future, he pondered and suddenly realized why those Krabergas only appeared after this Anemos awakened. Other Anemos only emerged after this one’s awakening. Materializing thoughts is not so simple.

“It seems fate still favors me. Just when I least wanted trouble, two of my enemies clashed right beside me, unwittingly giving me time and opportunity,” Cai Xu said with a hint of nervous laughter as he reviewed the confidential report his subordinates delivered.

With a swift motion like lightning, he grasped her left arm firmly. Then, with a gentle lift, he surprisingly hoisted Chen Rong up.

"Su Shu," Chen Qing gently patted her back. "It's not that I want to compete for him with you, but..." Su Shu gave no response, as if peacefully asleep.

After calming Ye Linghui, Li Moxuan simply sat beside her, moving his bowl and chopsticks over, and the two ate dinner side by side.

Han Feng saw countless points of light flying toward him. He hurriedly ran, sprinting ceaselessly beneath the dark sky.

Only the physical body, as unyielding as forged iron, endured under the Buddha’s hand, suffering agonies. Skin sank bit by bit, blood seeping through the cracks. Just as Yun Zhiyou was about to give up and resort to other means for help, a burst of hearty laughter came from across. The Buddha’s hand instantly vanished into thin air, transforming into countless golden lights that poured into the slaughter form.

Li Ang curiously examined the two so-called cannon silencers crafted by the Gloyne. Their surfaces were coated with thick metal, while inside were various supporting components and sponges—clearly revealing the dwarves’ design philosophy: using sponge to absorb the sound of cannon fire.

The inexplicable bitterness in his heart just moments ago seemed to vanish completely before the pure and clear Chen Qing.

Now, without Chi Jingxuan, things would not work. Because Ye Linghui was at the company, although she was the director and could act as she wished, she still needed a legitimate reason and could not be caught in a compromising position by Ye Linghui. Therefore, she desperately needed Chi Jingxuan to help her stabilize her position as director.
