Chapter 147: Meeting Gifts from Elders, A Favor of Immeasurable Magnitude

"The fish is ready, let's eat."

Auntie carried out a huge aluminum basin, the kind usually used for kneading dough, filled to the brim with pickled cabbage fish and stewed bean sprouts, straight from the kitchen.

"Oh my, we've broken out the basin today."

Uncle took one look at the spread, chuckled as he picked up his clappers, and stood up from his chair. "Today we're celebrating our move to a new home; with wine and fish on such a joyous occasion, I simply must give you a performance..."

"Hear, hear!"

The younger generation was very supportive.

After all, compared to a true god, a youth who had yet to fully grow up wasn't even worth an ant.

With a resonant hum, brilliant immortal energy condensed upon the massive silver shield, transforming into a colossal, thousand-foot-wide shield projection that hovered protectively above Zuo Xiantou's head.

Seeing the expression on Chen Yuxiu's face suddenly shift and turn grim, Dong Dazhi quickly took the newspapers, lowered his head to read them, and immediately saw his own expression darken as well.

Leng Yuemei, living up to her name, was the epitome of frostiness. Every movement, every twitch of her brow, and every smile seemed capable of freezing space and chilling emotions. As expected of a winter plum blossom of the Heavenly Dao Academy, this trip was well worth it.

Long Xiang was torn between being touched and amused, and quickly told Old Longfu to put the gear away so outsiders wouldn't see it and cause trouble.

In an instant, an overwhelming aura surged violently into the heavens. The formidable aura of the Dragon clan and the oppressive demonic might of the Golden-Winged Great Peng tore the firmament apart, condensing into the shadows of two great divine beasts that roared toward the sky, as if summoning something.

Fine then, your words are all I needed. Damn it, showing no respect for your elders—well, a ready-made older brother, it would be foolish not to claim him.

Having been gripped tightly by Bai Ruxin for so long, Zong Tao felt a slight tingling sensation. Fearing that one of the brothers might barge in unannounced and make Bai Ruxin feel embarrassed in her current state, he gently but firmly brushed her hand away.

A trace of a smile had just appeared on Jing Chuan's face when, the very next second, he dropped heavily onto one knee, pressing his right hand against his chest as he took several heavy gasps of air, beads of cold sweat breaking out across his forehead.

This time, Xiao Fan did not use brute force, but instead unleashed the gentle yet devastating power of the extreme Yin energy. The internal organs of the Heretic Scripture faction's leader instantly shattered into mush, causing his body to double over as he spewed a jet of blood.

Jing Chuan shook and called out to Yeren a few more times, but the latter remained expressionless with lifeless eyes, keeping his head lowered.

Qin Xiao curled his lip and rubbed his nose. He had never seen such a world-shaking breakthrough! Even the Heaven King Qin from his past life, upon making his final breakthrough to the middle-tier deity realm, hadn't caused such a massive commotion. Still, jumping five levels all at once—reaching the ninth stage of the Martial Realm in martial arts and the first stage, ninth rank in soul arts—was an achievement worthy of some solace.

As for what Qingzhu had said, Li Jie wasn't foolish; she knew Qingzhu had likely misunderstood her relationship with Jing Chuan, so she simply decided to stop talking to Jing Chuan altogether to spare the girl from letting her imagination run wild.

A golden sphere of light merged into the sect-protecting grand array, gradually tearing a fissure open. The five of them seized the opportunity to slip inside, and with a flick of a hand, the fusion technique vanished, restoring the grand array to its pristine condition.

"Explode!" Gu Tianxing instantly roared in a thunderous voice. The purple-gold subduing-demon bowl flashed with an incandescent, blinding golden light, and a series of Sanskrit chants that shook the heavens began to ring out, transmitting unobstructed in all directions, virtually unaffected by any surrounding anomalies.

Shortly after, Huangfu Ren was seen dissolving into a massive ball of yellow light amidst a fit of frantic laughter.

As for the Second and Third Princes, they had already been enfeoffed as princes and had never harbored ambitions for the throne, content instead to live out their lives as carefree royals; it was only natural that they hadn't trained in martial arts and possessed merely superficial skills.

Yet once they were on the road, this young man could no longer contain himself. Every time they hit a red light, he would repeatedly and thoughtlessly peek into the rearview mirror, pretending to be subtle, while keeping his gaze fixed for the most part on the lower half of Bai Ruolian's body, which was covered by a blanket.

Li Ke was currently a Censor of the Censorate, and Zhao Xu had ordered him to inspect every facet of the implementation of the "Shaosheng New Policies" in Yingtian Prefecture. He needed to reach a conclusion within a single day, without coming into contact with local officials and without revealing his identity.
