Chapter 47: Hu Liena's Terrible Misfortune

“What’s the situation?” Xiao Wu muttered, “Could it be that we still have to bully the weak and fear the strong?”

“...”

The voice was soft but loud enough for everyone present to hear.

So harsh!

Tang San cleared his throat lightly, signaling Xiao Wu with his eyes to stop talking. If she continued, the dean would lose face.

Only then did Xiao Wu close her mouth and fall silent.

She lowered her head, idly swinging her feet and hands, as if every ounce of strength in her limbs had been drained away the moment Mu Sanqian collapsed onto the bed. Her body was clearly weary, unwilling to move even an inch, yet her spirit remained unusually alert—no hint of drowsiness even with her eyes closed.

“The Flame Bow has no effect at all!” Ming Xuan had not anticipated this and now felt as if he had lost his last hope, utterly at a loss.

Wu Qing also stopped walking, his face filled with admiration as he said, “I’m not sure about this, but I heard that this sword box was seized by Xu Xuan from the Wu family’s sword tomb in Fengzhou. Since it’s the Wu family’s treasure, it can’t be too bad.

“Although most of the weapons inside are below the Treasure Pill level, occasionally there are some exceptional ones. With a little refining, they can be elevated to the Primordial Spirit level.”

“People in the martial world don’t deal in ‘ifs.’ You might find it strange that I can spout such profound words too, haha, but those are things I’ve heard from Master Huang’s disciples over the years.”

For some reason, after hearing these words, Su Beifeng’s mood suddenly steadied, as if he truly no longer cared about life or death.

After entering the village, they stayed in the long-abandoned Mountain God Temple. A few days later, under the direction of an old Taoist priest, a dozen or so unsavory men had surprisingly restored the temple to its former glory.

“True enlightenment lies in the emptiness of body and mind; how different is such a person from a Buddha? Brother Xie, though the master speaks of principles, it is Zen he teaches. You’ve misunderstood his meaning,” Ming Xuan said with a smile.

“What are you doing? Let go of me immediately! Or I won’t be polite!” The elder shouted angrily upon seeing Xu Tianyun grab Brother Zhang’s wrist.

His formidable brute strength was undeniable, and his lethal intent was terrifying. Many had taken lives, but to slaughter hundreds barehanded without a change of expression, with severed limbs and blood mists all around as if unseen—just calling him a demon hardly sufficed.

Shen Ci suddenly felt a pang of sympathy. This frail child appeared far stronger than she had imagined.

“Director Zhao Dongnan really knows how to joke. There are no ghosts in this world. I’m just a bit luckier than ordinary people,” Kara said without changing her expression.

This stirred a fire in his heart. This was like being at a world music competition live. If not now, when else would he seize the chance to earn more exchange points?

The Heaven-Reliant Sword, the Soul-Cleaving Blade, and various divine weapons from alternate dimensions—all were listed prominently.

“Ding! Of course not! This also involves the fate between you two, and the special glowing light will find your other half within a few days.”

These people were utterly lacking in public decency, never considering the feelings of the single dogs or the psychological shadows cast on the elderly.

“That’s uncertain. Generally, when the Qilin Legion goes, it’s almost settled. The Tengshe Legion is unlikely to be involved,” Fu Yunsheng said.

Qiao Mu slowly stood up, forcing a gentle smile as she began her introduction.

Li Qing was clearly unsatisfied with this excuse-like explanation. He fixed his gaze on Ling Qi, trying to pressure him into telling the truth. After all, he was first an engineer of the Los Group before considering his friendship with Ling Qi. If Ling Qi truly possessed some advanced new technology, Li Qing would definitely want to get his hands on it.

The rare First-Class Lotus Skirt was made from superior materials, resistant to the Eight Forbidden Cold Pools. Shen Ci had laid several layers of the “Protection,” “Authority,” “Concealment,” and “Swiftness” seals upon it.
