Chapter 147: Outmatched

"How are you feeling, sir?" Li Wan's wife asked, her eyes filled with pleasant surprise.

Li Wan nodded. "I feel much lighter all of a sudden. I wonder which master it was who saved me?"

"It was this young Master Lu! Recommended by Wenhui and Master Zhong Xuecheng..."

Yu Qingqing reached up to scratch her head, looking quite irritable. Gritting her teeth in vexation, she was just about to issue an order to the two Nascent Soul stage masters in the room when, in the blink of an eye, she flashed a grin. A wicked, playful smile spread across her pretty, oval face.

"No need. I'm free these next two days, so Niannian and I will just go browse the outdoor gear store," Lin Ziwei said with a giggle.

The seven late-stage Nascent Soul masters, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, remained motionless for some unknown reason, seemingly focused on maintaining the energy required to sustain the colorful Bone Demon.

He felt as though every meridian in his body had been cleared; his internal energy flowed slowly, and in an instant, the air became thick with high-density spiritual essence.

"It seems... that is indeed the case..." Mercury Lamp lowered her head, looking embarrassed.

"Come on, we came here to support your restaurant. Are you really going to act like this instead of sitting down to have a few drinks with us?" Yang Zhihua’s tone turned cold.

The masked muscular man was clearly caught off guard by Ye Tianyu's agility and sudden assault; he didn't even have time to react before his opponent had already pounced on him.

"Fellow Daoist, until we meet again!" With his eyes darting around wildly, the leader of the Integration stage cultivators didn't hesitate for a second. He turned and fled, a flying magical artifact appearing beneath his feet. With a flash of brilliant cyan light, he vanished, pulling ahead of the others and pulling out all the stops to dash madly toward the Demon Cave.

However, until it was clear whether this Fifth Progenitor truly existed, or what form and attitude it might possess, no one dared to act rashly.

The reporters looked at one another, exchanged glances, and instinctively shook their heads. Only then did Gu Meng nod with satisfaction. She turned immediately and walked into the main entrance of the Song Group, leaving the remaining matters to be resolved by Manager Zhang.

"What about you, Zilian? Do you have any goals or pursuits?" Ye Bai turned to look at You Zilian's exquisite face and asked softly.

Then, a string of kiss and hug emojis flooded the entire chat interface, making it clear just how excited she was.

Upon returning to his temporary residence, Ye Xun immediately sent men to notify Yao Yizhi to recruit naval officers and soldiers in the name of the Governor’s Mansion, prioritizing those with experience as sailors or on merchant ships, with pay set at double that of ordinary land soldiers.

Upon learning that a massive wave of refugees was approaching, Ye Xun ordered the scout battalion to increase their numbers and flank the fleeing civilians to ensure their safety.

However, as long as you dare to fly within the Sky Demon Abyss—whether you are flying at high speed or hovering in place—if you do not flee, you might as well wait to become food for the poison crows.

Having said that, he greased the soles of his feet and dashed straight toward the stone gate. In the blink of an eye, he had vanished from before Mu Ziqian.

And that Lu Xuan is no saint either; not long ago, he severely crippled the U.S. Seventh Fleet and is also an enemy of the American military.

Now that he had stopped, the burning pain across his body began to spread. However, the battle was not yet over, and he had no time to attend to it.

"Wait, are you talking about the previous generation's Demon Lord of the Demon Realm?" Chu Xia was startled, her brow furrowing. Why did she remember the matter of the Eastern God as something involving the current Demon Lord?

The current resurgence of spiritual energy has only just begun; the cultivation techniques, martial arts, and supernatural methods practiced by everyone are, in reality, still quite crude.

Once one passes the Immortal Tribulation, the Gate of the Immortal Realm will appear to receive them, guiding them into the Immortal Realm. Only then is it considered true ascension, becoming an immortal on the spot.
