Chapter 48 The Birthday Feast and the Sunrise of the State of Zhao
This was the imperial city at the end of autumn. The banyan trees were all nearly withered and bare with old and thick branches stretching out just like small hands reaching towards the sky. Some leaves on the branches were dry and red. The crescent was still vaguely hanging in the sky. The rays of the morning sun had crossed a thin and long line, just like the back of the whale that jumped over the sea surface.
The rotten leaves piled up under the banyan trees still remained the marks of the heavy rain last night.
Dawn just came like the tide before everything truly faded away.
The imperial city was gradually lit, adding radiance to the ancient city walls and grey tiles full of vicissitudes now.

The horrifying scene that happened yesterday seemed

Beyond the Divine States Chapter 50 The Engagement Breakoff and the Three-year Agreement
Ning Changjiu didn’t understand why the thing would become like this.Neither did Zhao Xiang’er... Because according to her plan, she just needed to show the marriage letter, point out his master and force him to admit it. All she wanted to do was taking a look at her fiance and then returning the marriage letter. However... Ning Changjiu had no sense of propriety at all. How could he play dumbness in front of so many people?Hence, she claimed to break off the engagement out of anger so as to irritate him.Unexpectedly, the young man still remained calm as if it had nothing to do with him...His calmness made her even angrier but she could lose her temper in public so she could only pretend to be calm.Of course, what she said was also beyond the expectation of Ning Changjiu.

Beyond the Divine States Chapter 51 The Sprinkling of the Blood
Now, in the imperial palace, most of the guests had left continuously. The palace maids went around, cleaning the messy tables.The sun rising high shone in the palace as if paving a snow-white carpet ahead. At the end of the bright carpet, Zhao Xiang’er stood before the broken throne with a cold shadow. What she would do next was to pronounce the sentence on the true sinners of the state of Zhao.Ning Changjiu was sitting before the table with his eyes closed, his sleeves drooping on both sides. He received the marriage letter but he didn’t read it.Ning Xiaoling only felt a bit embarrassed sitting by his side... Her fellow disciple became the fiancé of Zhao Xiang’er now?Before stepping into the hall, she could never think of the current situation and the three-year agreement... She knew that her fellow disciple was really awesome but if he was to fight with Her Highness, she was still worried about him.After all, H
Beyond the Divine States Chapter 52 The Reappearance of the Fox Spirit
The blood arrow that went through the air got cut off by the sword and then dispersed by the sleeves. Everything just happened too suddenly. Its rushing momentum was hardly stoppable. The blood arrow was cut off, broken, sprinkled and finally, it landed.Ning Changjiu turned around right away and stared at the “red mole” on the white neck in astonishment.Ning Xiaoling couldn’t even have time to react at all.“Chang...”The moment the unfatal blood landed on her, her Qi was suddenly changed. All the words were stuck in her throat. She couldn’t continue talking.Zhao Xiang’er pupils also shrank instantly because she could clearly see three snow-white and illusory tails vaguely appeared behind the young girl!The demonic nature readily suppressed in her body by Ning Changjiu was activated by these several drops of blood now!Ning Xiaoling was at a loss. Her lips, cheeks and skin were getting pal
Beyond the Divine States Chapter 53 Mind Intrusion
Ning Xiaoling acted extremely swiftly. Now that the city walls collapsed, she met no obstacles on the way.Only within the blink of an eye, her figure couldn’t be seen at all. The imperial city was just like a lake. Her figure just dived into it and disappeared.The noises gradually subdued. Ning Changjiu slowly walked out of the hall. He looked exhausted, his arms hanging feebly and sleeves billowing in the wind.This was the first time that he had such a clear sense of incapability.Even if there were serious problems with his body which he didn’t know how to solve at all, he was somehow confident about the future cultivation because he had trodden on the road of cultivation smoothly in his prelife. However, today, he truly understood what Lu Jiajia said that day--lack of time.He watched helplessly the blood sprinkled on his fellow disciple, that she became a demon and that she forced herself to run away from him wi
Beyond the Divine States Chapter 54 The Ancient Book as the Prison
“Let it go...”Lu Jiajia raised her sword to target the dying Blood Feather. Behind her, there came a voice. She turned around only to see a young man in white standing there with a weary face and pressing his palm to her.Lu Jiajia turned aside and looked at Ning Changjiu, saying with a frown, “What did you say?”Rather than answer her question, Ning Changjiu asked, “What is the strongest spell in your sect? Cast the spell on it and then let it go.”Lu Jiajia said, “Casting the spell on the soul is a magic of the evils and demons. I haven’t learned about it before.”Ning Changjiu said, “Then let me teach you Blood and Bones Burning Body Seal.”His words gave Blood Feather a shock. It wailed, “Your fellow disciple is in deadly danger. How can you still be in the vein for torturing me? How can you disregard her life and safety?”Ning Changjiu didn’t respond to it but looked at Lu Jiajia and sai
Beyond the Divine States Chapter 55 The Taoist Temple’s Name
When the wizard patriarch fought with the old fox on Lake Qifeng back then, the buildings, which were part real and part illusory, were ranked with the ancient book according to the rankings of the book.The first one was Qianyu Palace and the third one was the imperial palace. The second one was Jiuling Tower.Jiuling Tower was the place where the imperial family offered sacrifices to Heaven. In the middle of it, there was a huge statue of Rosefinch, around which nine bronze statues of the spirit beasts were situated. The spirit beasts took various shapes. None of them was recorded in the “Classic of Mountains and Seas.”Zhao Xiang’er used to read some legends about the Jiuling Tower in the Qianyu Palace.It was said that the nine spirit beasts were the descendants of Rosefinch God, each of which was endowed with a certain power by Rosefinch God. Moreover, the bronze statues were elaborately located. Legend had it that they were t

Bu Ke Temple was the Taoist temple where he cultivated himself in his last life.The temple was situated at the end of Dahe Town, hidden in the mountains. The peak was at an extremely high altitude. In the daytime, it was clouds that were in sight. At night, the stars and the moon seemed to be reachable. This was Bu Ke Temple.Previously, Zhao Xiang’er asked him about the temple’s name but he could only vaguely think of one word, Bu.Now that he unfolded the marriage letter and saw the three scribbled words, the full name of the Taoist temple just came to his mind.Of course, he wouldn’t forget such a thing easily. The only one explanation was that even the three words--Bu Ke Temple carried the inherent mystery, which couldn’t be mentioned in the secular world, making it difficult for him to recall.The snow fox also could hardly see the three words anymore.She saw a Taoist temple vaguely.
