Chapter 56: Phantom Divine Art, Fast as an Afterimage

What Her Imperial Noble Consort says is indeed most reasonable, but... this supervisor is not seeking his own demise; this supervisor values his life dearly indeed...

Gu Zhan gripped his battle saber tightly, waiting precisely for this moment. The very instant the seal was about to press down, the battle saber in Gu Zhan's hands suddenly moved, slashing directly toward the third palm on the left. The peculiar battle saber, engulfed in Gu Zhan's pale yellow true qi, whistled through the air, sending Sun Lei into a sudden panic.

"Who has the time to joke with you? Have you never heard that every major sect has a guardian? I am the guardian of the Artifact Refining Sect!" The white-haired elder radiated an unangered majesty as he looked at the three of them and spoke with stern authority.

After waiting for a long time without the slightest sound, he raised his eyes slightly to see Emperor Hongzhi sitting there in a daze, tears welling in his eyes, slumped limply and muttering to himself.

"Hehe, you few are all top-tier geniuses across the continent, no need for such excessive courtesy! May I ask what important business brings you to our Heavenly Luo Sword Sect this time?" Nanmen Bo wore a smile on his face, his tone calm as he asked. No one could possibly discern his true attitude.

Wang Xian dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, burying this humiliation deep within his heart. There would come a day when he would make Jiutian Bei, Jiutian Xiao, and Jiutian Yinghong pay a bloody price.

The eight immortal artifacts erupted with an unprecedentedly powerful true essence, their matchless brilliance sufficient to blind ordinary eyes. Eight giant Taiji Yin-Yang fish materialized above their heads, fusing at an incredible speed to condense into a black-and-white intertwined ribbon of light that slammed toward Chen Han.

With Qianxian's current stealth techniques, even a Martial Saint could not easily detect him. Anyone capable of noticing him with such ease must undoubtedly be a late-stage Martial Saint powerhouse.

"Rest assured, Brother Luo, your elder brother naturally understands your intent. However, the specific matters still require careful discussion, and there are some things your elder brother cannot decide alone. How about you rest well tonight, and tomorrow I will arrange a proper consultation with His Majesty the Beast Emperor regarding this matter?" Alfred said with a smile.

Thus, they began to ponder how the Han emissary would deal with them next. Earlier, that unfortunate fellow had tried to force his way out of the palace and had one of his hands chopped off, scaring them out of their wits and leaving them completely at a loss. Yet in the blink of an eye, he was treated as an honored guest by the Han emissary, as if that incident had never happened at all.

"They always say the Golden Triangle is chaotic, but I never expected it to be chaotic to this extent." Sun Qian shrugged and smiled.

"Liu Meijuan, there is no need for your words to be so harsh. We are simply walking home together along the way," Wang Xuelan retorted righteously. This Liu Meijuan had always been like this, completely incapable of showing any restraint.

Little did she expect that this person would prove completely unreliable. Upon learning that Bian Siniang was unexpectedly pregnant, he fled without a trace and never appeared again.

As for his decision to leave Zhao Cuixia's family's fields for last, it wasn't that he didn't know how to show partiality toward Zhao Cuixia in his heart; it was simply that her family's fields were genuinely very remote. Following the established sequence of doing them household by household, her family naturally and rightfully belonged at the very end.

"Rest assured, just like them, I learn my lesson after failing only once." Chen Qiang cracked his knuckles, counted on his fingers, stepped forward, and shattered six doors.

"You're welcome, doing this was only my duty." Qin Feng pushed the matter aside and did not discuss it further with Christina.

He was preparing to go and coax Madam Liu; if he were to displease her, coaxing her afterward would likely prove even more troublesome.

"Ah... the past is gone with the wind; knowing too much now is of no use. As for finding a continuation of the Xu family's incense and ancestral fire, I will certainly search for it in the future, not only for your sake, but even more so for the sake of your Xu family ancestors!" Qin Yu said in a low, deep voice.
