Chapter 113: A God Among Men

The heavenly deity descends, heralding the new emperor’s ascension.

Upon receiving the news from outside, the old emperor was dumbfounded.

He had reigned for over a decade, priding himself as the Son of Heaven. Yet he had never witnessed any divine beings, nor any miraculous signs. He had even doubted the very existence of gods, dismissing them as mere tales spun to deceive the common folk.

But today, through the window, he clearly saw the sky outside...

After all, it was his homeland. No matter what, he could not let it suffer such disgrace. Therefore, whenever there was any benefit, Su Che always thought first of Qiyuan Star.

Of course, being a youth with righteous anger, he could not forgive Wu Yinhan, the well-known host who had publicly knelt before Chen Chufan to present an award at the music festival.

“Enough!” Liu Qingyi roared. In this world, had he ever seen such a desolate and tragic scene? Though the martial world was no stranger to death, to rob a man of all hope to live—how could one bear it?

Guo Mu spoke only a few words; the tension in his nerves eased. He did not avoid the subject and even flirted playfully with Pan Yun over the phone for a while.

“First, slaughter some horses to stave off hunger and let the soldiers fill their stomachs.” Though horses were important, the lives of the Xianbei soldiers mattered more. Under Bugu Gen’s orders, the horses were to be killed to feed the troops.

Su Xiuqing suddenly spoke, drawing the gazes of both Chen Chufan and Karlman Vort to her.

Mo Wuxin’s face flushed. In truth, from the moment Jisha sat on his lap, his heart began to race wildly with her every movement.

Bai Junyi’s actions caused the guards, who had been about to move, to freeze in shock, too frightened to make a rash move.

“By the way, my esteemed agent, I’m going on television tomorrow. Do you have any good advice?” Such pointless sarcasm was clearly out of character for Chen Chufan’s pragmatic nature, so he shifted the topic once more.

“That’s a one-way restriction. If you touch the chained restrictions, even I won’t be able to help you!” Ling Xiao stared at Ye Ming not far away. He exhaled lightly. As for the two nearby, they too relaxed somewhat. Having reached Wanjin Mountain, they already regarded Ye Ming as a comrade.

But this time, he would not involve anyone else. He would face the Heavenly Battle Scar alone, unwilling to see those around him sacrifice themselves again.

Approaching the Fifth Prince, Lord Jiang and the Marquis of the Cao family looked somewhat uneasy. It seemed the King of Yuxue was not skilled in child-rearing.

Ye Feng was also pondering whether he should recruit Miller into his “Iron Blood Society.” With such a man holding the fort, what grand endeavor could fail?

Inside the belly of the Half-Step Emperor sea demon beast, Lin Yun was surrounded by a golden shield, his face filled with curiosity as he observed his surroundings.

Tian Ye likewise doubted the efficacy of his methods but hoped they would have some effect.

Yet such matters were difficult to voice. Ning Nanxing wiped his hair, his thoughts drifting far away, leaving him somewhat dazed.

Yun Yuhong sat calmly, unhurried, watching Lord Bai, awaiting his final decision. However, the national ceremony could not be completed; without it, her family rites could not proceed.

After a scuffle with several guards, their skills were mediocre, and their physiques weak, utterly unsuited for jewelry store security. Hiring bodyguards would be financially unreasonable,” Ni Suqin’s words betrayed her deep concern.

Surrounded by demonic energy of thunder and fire attributes, it surged like a blazing flame over his entire body, stirring ripples through the surrounding air and space. In Xiang Ye Kuitou’s eyes at this moment, the sky could be torn apart at will, the earth crushed beneath his feet. Even the Heavenly Dragon Sheng, who could hurl massive dragons to the ground, was but a mere weakling in comparison.

The truth proved that Yi Yun had overthought. Or rather, this water surface was particularly picky. The black, square hole of just one foot in size showed no sign of healing. Instead, it had expanded a bit due to the relentless assaults from the demon clans.
