Chapter 35: The Darkness of Human Nature—Kong Xianda’s Threat

Zhou Hui stood there stunned, unable to believe that this stranger who suddenly appeared could be so outrageous.

She knew full well that the person who came to her house to collect a debt was none other than Kong Xianda, one of the most notorious troublemakers around the county.

And yet, this boy, who looked no older than sixteen or seventeen, had casually knocked him down with ease?!

“One hundred seventy yuan,” Zhou Hui said after a long pause, finally realizing Qin Feng was still waiting for her response.

“I rely on my wisdom and perseverance. I have never believed I am inferior to anyone,” Ze Jin said calmly.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu and the others were assigned opponents through a drawing of lots; all their adversaries were disciples from other sects, ensuring no internal clashes within their own sect.

It was as if within his body, once a swirling vortex of helplessness, a new vortex had been forged—one unlike before. Unlike in the past, he was no longer constrained by his acupoints. As long as his strength held, and his body could endure, theoretically, he could gather energy indefinitely.

“I trust you, so go and find Grieve without worry. I believe that if Andre regains his health, he will surely accept you,” Fide said, patting the burly man who was more than a decade his senior on the shoulder.

Lin Xiao watched quietly as Su Yi launched his attack; remarkably, he remained completely unmoved. Only in that instant did Lin Xiao’s strength transform into threads of primordial energy, which instantly wove themselves into a net, enveloping and ultimately dispelling the force of Su Yi’s strike.

Liansheng did not linger, instead igniting a fiery trail as he set out to find Hou Zhenshan’s whereabouts. In truth, Hou Zhenshan had long since smashed the Rascha Kingdom’s embassy, beaten several Orthodox priests, and fought the immensely strong White Bear warriors. Now, he was recklessly provoking trouble outside the Japanese embassy like a whirlwind.

The last Qi-condensing cultivators were surprisingly young but already at the late stage of Qi condensation, some even approaching perfection. It was clear they were elite disciples from the outer sect.

Lei Zhan had naturally noticed this situation, but he showed no hesitation. He understood exactly what Su Yi intended. Having learned from the previous incident with Jiang Jun, Lei Zhan roared fiercely as if possessed by lightning itself, his entire body bathed in crackling electric energy.

More and more black-robed figures surged forward, joined by the golden-armored Mo Yang guards. As they clashed, the onlookers grew unwilling to remain mere spectators and began to lend their aid. With the help of these passersby, the golden-armored city guards swiftly regained control of the situation.

Zhang Nianzu quickly said, “I’ll pack up my things and leave.” He was staying in Lei Tingting’s room.

Zhang Nianzu and his companions arrived at the magazine office on the third floor. According to protocol, they were to meet the editor-in-chief but were told to wait a moment.

Both sets of parents were overjoyed, excitedly discussing the wedding plans and deciding to hold the ceremony at the end of the month.

At this moment, Qin Ji’s momentum surged endlessly. If Qian Yun were here, he would surely sense that Qin Ji had not exerted her full strength back at Moon Blue Slope—this was her true power.

If she had faced such a bizarre situation in the past, her mind would have short-circuited long ago. Yet now, she refused to give up, having witnessed many of the world’s unreasonable truths, giving her an extra layer of resilience beyond ordinary people.

Tian Xue was taken aback; she had never considered this question before. As a mother, a flicker of guilt suddenly stirred in her heart.

Perhaps Wang Po’s future sword path would make great strides, but the Two Break Sword Techniques seemed far more crucial to Zhang Liang.

Back at Moon Blue Slope, she had personally returned the Flying Abyss Sword to Liao Bing, and Qian Yun had spared him. Could it be that they crossed paths again later, and Qian Yun took the Flying Abyss Sword back?
