Chapter 30: The Fire of Jealousy

Looking at the pretentious expression on Mu Chi's face, Fu Shi curled his lip in disdain. "If Vice Minister Mu is unwilling to go, I could certainly take your place."

Surprised by this suggestion, Mu Chi retorted in a flurry of agitation.

"Your waist injury hasn't even healed yet—what do you think you're going to do?"

As he spoke, he realized he had overreacted, and he...

Gu Yimo respectfully watched Gu Shuo depart. In Gu Shuo's presence, he found his spine bowing of its own accord; this instinct once filled him with rage, yet every time they met, he remained the same.

A superior place of cultivation greatly accelerates one's progress, so it is only natural for disputes to arise.

However, he could not fathom how someone at the Nine-Vein Realm could possess such terrifying physical strength.

He spoke with a nervous stutter. Everyone had been busy for ages trying to find that contact log, only to realize it had gone missing, and they immediately began a frantic search of the surroundings.

"Ha! Even the Poison Sect of the Southern Border cannot best me; what use are these petty toxins against me?" Ye Tian laughed, grabbed the thin thread, and gave it a violent tug.

"Indeed, no metaphor would be too strong. Eliminating scoundrels like Zhao Quan is tantamount to dismantling the very mind of the Tatars," Zhang Juzheng remarked.

"How is there a Husky here?" When Su Qian opened the door, she exclaimed in surprise at the sight of the spirited dog and reached out to pet it.

"Haven't you heard? He’s acknowledged me as his boss." Unwilling to say more, Ye Tian lifted his foot and walked ahead.

It was clearly a branch as thick as a finger, yet when it struck the longsword with a loud crack, it unleashed such immense force that the sword was snapped in two with a metallic clang.

Shuidi’s pale, translucent soul seemed drawn by an invisible force, rapidly returning to its origin; yet, her complexion remained deathly white, and she showed no signs of breath.

Before Granny Yinlin could speak, the others drew sharp breaths, struck dumb with astonishment.

"Yes, if I can cultivate this technique to its pinnacle, it is not impossible that I might one day challenge the Martial Emperor Realm," Sun Wu declared.

Leaving the battlefield behind, Xia Tianyu led Song Shengnan a few miles away to a clearing where the trees were sparse. A patch of purple-feathered thatch grew there, its broad, soft leaves forming a thick carpet on the ground that was quite comfortable to sit upon.

Bo Yichen reached out to cover his mouth, but he drew his hand back as if bitten when he felt a sudden warmth against his palm.

He never blamed his younger sister for her character flaws, but his conscience would not allow him to endure her attempts to claim the world, manipulate the court, and bring ruin upon the nation.

Yan Lie took a deep breath and accepted the letter from Wei Chengyi. He unfolded it, but before he could even discern its contents, he was already struck by a sense of foreboding.

Gritting his teeth, Wei Yi hesitated no longer and immediately summoned the Nine Cauldrons; only with them could he hope to contend with the giant serpent.

After walking out of the examination hall, Lu Tianming appeared visibly excited. Having successfully passed, the worst he would now be was a primary-level Water Immortal, finally shedding his status as an apprentice.

Throughout the history of the Azure Emperor Palace, four Emperors had emerged: the first, naturally, was the Azure Emperor; the second was the Haotian Emperor; the third was a practitioner named the Qingyang Emperor; and the fourth was the Corpse Yin Emperor.

"I will never harm her, and I will never abandon what I desire!" Wang Qinghou nearly loathed Xi Ruozhou—how could he treat A-Qian this way?

Meng Li held this human warrior in extreme contempt, especially this one who stood at the Xuantian rank.

Liu Chiyan’s troubles were resolved now that Ye Guang had handled things for her, but Ye Guang himself was still vexed; he had yet to come up with a plan for his *Journey to the West* program.

"Do you think there’s any possibility of them becoming friends? If I’m not mistaken, when they entered the loop world this morning, Ye Qingmian must have tried to trap Bai Diandian," She Xuan stated with certainty.
