Chapter 159: Jing Tian's Decision

Strangely enough, while Ji Siyu was discussing this matter with the various magnates, Ding Zhi remained completely silent, without even the slightest sound of protest. It was impossible to tell whether he had retreated in the face of difficulties or was plotting something else.

Although this area appeared fresh and pristine, it was actually a flat expanse. Aside from some overgrown green grass, there were almost no formed scenic views, except for the center surrounded by the disciples, which was vastly different from the rest.

Those were her most precious memories, and now, they were all submerged in endless darkness, leaving only obsession crying out in defiance.

A fledgling bird, carefully raised by others, wore a dazzling phoenix crown. Its colorful feathers were bright and glossy, yet it drooped for a couple of steps, listlessly pecked twice at the walnut crumbs, and imitated the emperor's murmurs.

"How is that possible? Deities are merely fabricated by people; they do not exist at all!" Song Yi shook her head decisively.

However, when the figure of the merciless and uncultivated Buddha appeared on the mountaintop, all that beauty instantly turned as cold as iron.

When Zhou Le returned to his own body and happily called out to Zhou Fang as Dad, Zhou Fang's tears continuously streamed down in overwhelming emotion.

The emperor sat beside a stone table, pressing a delicate spoon with two fingers to scoop a spoonful of walnut crumbs into the birdcage's feeding bowl, murmuring softly to call the bird over.

Yet Nie Wei was no ordinary person. She cast an illusion spell upon herself, making anyone who looked at her perceive her as nothing more than an ordinary passerby.

The rain fell in a drizzle. Buer leaned against the head of the bed, quietly listening to the sound of raindrops tapping against the window lattice, watching the traces of rainwater sliding down the windowpane. Her thoughts drifted and surged along with the cascading water, converging together, slipping away bit by bit, and then vanishing without a trace.

Although Zuo Qing had already anticipated this point, she still wanted to use it as an excuse to go out so as to avoid being alone with Murong Zhao. She truly had not expected Murong Zhao to thoroughly overturn this excuse, leaving her with no idea what other pretexts she could possibly use to get out.

"You still know that the most important thing tonight is to establish a good reputation for yourself, and yet you plan to go like this?" Zuo Yining said to Lu Yu with a displeased expression.

Han Luojia subconsciously glanced at the half-eaten can of beef in her hand, glared at Li Li, and ultimately could not bear to put down the delicious-smelling canned beef. She picked up a piece of beef from the can with her chopsticks, put it into her mouth, and ate it in large, hearty bites, as if determined to eat back the physical energy she had expended.

"Hmph, do you know that you are playing with fire? Although I don't know the background of that Mr. Yuan, those who are not of our kin surely have different minds. The threat he poses to us humans is probably no less than that of those monsters." Du Zheng sneered. He knew a little bit about this Mr. Yuan and had even fought against his subordinates.

"Let's drink then!" Just as Wan Jin was feeling utterly depressed, Xia Chen's proposal undoubtedly offered a wonderful way to relieve his worries.

"Your Highness?" Shende's voice rang out beside her ear. Turning her gaze, she saw him looking at Zuo Qing with a hint of perplexity.

The rock layer, compressed by the shockwave to a density comparable to divine artifacts, suddenly developed cracks that rapidly magnified in everyone's sight, spreading outward like a spiderweb. People's pupils suddenly constricted as they stared fixedly at that spot.

Seeing that the Alien Queen had suffered such severe injuries yet still had not perished, Murong Wei was somewhat stunned and froze in place instead of immediately executing another sniper shot, thereby missing the optimal opportunity. It seemed Murong Wei's combat experience was still somewhat lacking.

Hua Yu struggled to open his eyes, only to find himself lying on a platform resembling a surgical operating table.

"Let me think, let me see..." Simone sighed, knowing that he had relented somewhat. His previous actions had made Ding Yue's suggestions gain weight in his mind.

After swallowing the medicinal pellet, Li Yang's cultivation realm skyrocketed straight toward the Core Formation stage, ultimately stopping at the advanced stage of Foundation Establishment, just a step away from the peak.

Yesterday, when they learned of Yang Ruofeng's refusal, they all wore worried expressions and retreated to their respective rooms, racking their brains to devise malicious schemes, yet they had not thought of any good ideas by now.

Dr. Zhang had suffered too severe injuries and died right in front of Jiang Bing. With a pale complexion, Jiang Bing tossed aside the scalpel and tremblingly put on her own clothes.

A deafening roar echoed through the heavens. With a single downward strike, the colossal beast smashed this hundreds of miles of sandy terrain into a profound abyss. Looking down from the vault of the sky, one could startlingly discover that this massive crater formed the imprint of a palm with only three fingers.

Feng Qianxun was also burning with rage. Why did trouble constantly befall her within the palace? Why couldn't she be properly protected? In front of the ministers, why did he lack the courage to step forward and speak up? An assassin appeared during a prayer ceremony—what did that have to do with her? Why didn't they instead declare the Empress a scourge to the nation?

"Lord Demon Emperor, out of respect for the former Emperor, I still address you as the Demon Emperor, but I hope you will no longer remain so stubborn. You have already made the entire Demon race indulge your self-will once; do not let there be a second time," that Heavenly Demon King said, maintaining a respectful demeanor.

After all, Su Yang was her own younger brother who had grown up alongside her for over a decade. Even without any sharp insight into human psychology, Su Nan still understood Su Yang quite well. The moment she saw her brother's expression, she roughly guessed what was currently on his mind.
