152 - You Think You Can Sweet Talk Yourself Out of This? (1)
Perhaps it was due to the counter being done subconsciously, but the moment Ye Mo swung his bamboo sword, Tong Fu’s fist attack dissipated like the wind. People expected Ye Mo to cut a sorry figure, but there was not even a hint of exertion on his face.
“What happened?”
“Are my eyes playing tricks on me?”
“What is that attack?”
“Isn’t that the same sword movement Tenth Elder has been repeatedly practicing?”
The onlookers were confused, more so Tong Fu who initiated that sudden attack. Although he did not even put eighty percent of his strength in that attack, it w
153 - The Older the Ginger, the Spicier It Gets“What do you mean my sincerity is not enough, Princess Zhi?” Tong Fu said with a bland tone.“Wanting to steal a chicken, but instead losing the bait (1). You expect us to let you go by handing us the bait? What of your apology?”The Leaf City’s City Lord looked expressionless on the surface, but anyone could guess how humiliated he must be feeling. He was a man of high prestige, yet someone younger–and a woman at that–blatantly insulted him. He was a man with a temper, and many of those in the crowd were aware of this. The top echelon of Leaf City knew that Tong Fu was an old-fashioned man, and although he was not a corrupt official, he was someone petty who valued his reputation greatly.
154 - Mantis Tries to Stop a Carriage (1)“A sword that swallows everything in its path?!”“Can such a miraculous sword technique really exist?”“I wonder what grade it is?”Ye Mo’s claim caused the hearts of many cultivators to palpitate, and though some showed signs of awe and envy, many did not harbor greed at this point. As leaders of their factions and heads of their families, what they were most concerned about was the safety of their younger generation. One had to remember that for this banquet, many of the guests were the top elites and geniuses painstakingly nurtured by their respective factions. If these younger generation cultivators were to be annihilated, it would be the same as dooming the future of the Righteous Path
155 - Mantis Tries to Stop a Carriage (2)With Patriarch Ye Wuqing and the Purple Plumed General playing the roles as guarantors, the choice to be made was evident. Every representative agreed to continue struggling despite the terrible odds.“I will help you, Tenth Elder!”“So will I!”“Count me in as well!”Although some of the leaders pretended to play dumb and offered small treasures as mere tokens to goodwill, a majority of the those present did offer whatever they had in hand just to increase the chance of them escaping the rune array sooner.Beggars can’t be choosers, and they were already pretty desperate to leave and save their disciples
156 - Mantis Tries to Stop a Carriage (3) Ye Mo was about to head back to practicing his sword when Qing Chuntao called out to him. “Tenth Elder, wait!” Her expression was grim and hesitant, but on this matter of life and death, she clearly had made a decision that could potentially endanger her position in the military. However, a determination no normal teenager should possess could be seen in her young face. “Do you have more advice for me, Purple Plumed General?” Ye Mo asked in a puzzled tone. With a resigned sigh, Qing Chuntao brought out a military-issued spatial pouch and took a bronze stick out of it. Rather than a long rod used for attacking, it looked more like a pike that should be driven on the ground building tents. It had the length of an adult’s arm,
157 - The Dao of Time (1)A time-attributed treasure?!Neither Ye Mo nor Zhi Ruo could hide the tremors in their hearts. No wonder Qing Chuntao told everyone to mind their own businesses. No wonder she was reluctant to bring her item out.This was a matter that could shock the entire Qing Blessed Lands!An artifact wielding the Dao of Time!The 'Dao' or the 'Way' are the principles that uphold the functioning of the cosmos and the countless worlds in existence. Cultivators, after strengthening their mortal bodies and building up their immortal foundations, could only climb the next level and increase their cultivation bases by trying to understand the rules of the world where they live.

159 - The Dao of Time (3)Speeding up time by three times!To be able to manifest such control of time, what level had this artifact reached?Ye Mo could not even dream of the existence of such a precious artifact beforehand, much less think of being given the chance to actually use it. When he met the steely gaze of the young general, he knew that this young lady was taking a great gamble at this moment.‘Her Highness doesn’t obviously trust me, but it’s all or nothing at this point.’Who knew how long their group would be detained inside this barrier? Who knew if they were kept abay to become prisoners, or perhaps to be killed as well?Who knew how many deaths ha
160 - The Return of the Dark Age (1) Little Yin was never human. Though she currently owned a human body and had lived several weeks acting as one, she never considered herself as human. It wasn’t due to the fact that she had spent less than a month in her new body. It was because deep in her soul she knew this was temporary. She was a daughter of Chaos, and no matter what form she takes on, now and the future, she would always remain a proud daughter of ‘Hun’. At most, it could be said that Little Yin had taken an interest in human things, their way of living in particular, after spending her time within the Yellow Springs. For who-knows-how-many eons, the fragment of
