Chapter 48 In-laws

With the arrival of a snowfall, the procession had already reached Cang County within the borders of Youzhou.

The convoy arrived at Cang County before three o'clock in the afternoon, still early in the day. However, their travel passes needed to be stamped at the county yamen. Considering that there were no suitable places to rest further ahead from Cang County, and given the heavy snow, camping out in the wilderness would mean freezing to death.

Seeing that more than half the journey was complete and victory was in sight, there had already been sporadic casualties along the road ahead. If more were to die now, the losses would outweigh the gains. Chen Shan thus decided not to press on today and had the prisoners escorted into the county yamen.

Gu Fengyun nodded in satisfaction, the First Elder wore a broad smile, and as for the other elders, they were already beaming with joy.

Wang Kai was in no particular rush at the moment. Judging by the current trend, his video had unsurprisingly gone viral, which meant the website editors ought to be the ones sweating now.

Chonglou watched her finish eating, took the bowl back to report, and Liu Qingqing contentedly dabbed the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief before changing into a fresh set of clothes.

Li Chun smiled bitterly. He wanted to say he wasn't nearly that delicate, but his body simply wasn't lying; he found it a chore just to sit up, so how could he possibly go about listening to the endless ramblings of those elderly ministers?

Xuzhou City could not compare to Chang'an. There were far fewer pedestrians, and the market streets lacked Chang'an's bustling prosperity. The few of them walked and stopped along the way, taking in the scenery beyond Chang'an.

These black powders were charged with explosive immortal spiritual energy; once ignited, it would be akin to immortals detonating themselves one after another.

Moreover, Tan Lang’s arrogant remarks back at the Letian Inn had already spread throughout the entire Liulan Town, and he doubted Qin Ruomeng could remain unmoved.

As that sword stroke descended, a geyser of blood erupted, causing the hand with which Ye Yong was gripping Ting'er to tremble violently several times. Naturally, the member of the Yi family who had delivered that sword strike was also slain by a sweep of Ye Yong's sword.

In truth, the northern route was not particularly wide either. The dirt path wound between the mountainous terrain and the river. While some troops marched along the road, the majority of the other forces had to traverse the mountain ridges.

Han Xiong patted himself down, extracted a cylindrical bottle from his person, placed the colorful hundred-legged centipede back inside, secured the lid, and tucked it back into his robes. Then, everyone stared intently ahead once more.

"Why is General Zhao in such a hurry? I wonder if the General has the leisure for this—this humble person wishes to tell a story. Once the General has heard it, we can discuss official business. How does that sound?" The man spoke in a calm tone, his form of address for Zhao Kuangyin shifting once again, yet his voice carried an endless undertone of desolation.

Around the Xuanwu Spiritual Pearl, the chilling mist condensed once more, forming droplets of transparent spiritual energy. The unevenly condensed spiritual energy droplets all merged into the Xuanwu Spiritual Pearl, while the uniform ones remained within the jade Dantian. These newly regenerated, uniformly sized spiritual energy droplets were slightly larger and more crystal-clear than before.

With that, she stepped down from the pavilion. Viewed from afar, her gait was actually faltering, and her figure swayed unsteadily in the wind. As she even passed right by Xiao Yong, she brushed past him with a vacant, wooden expression.

Beasts were even more so, and moreover, their innate physical bodies were formidable, born right at the Body Refining Realm. Powerful ferocious beasts, upon reaching maturity, could naturally break through to the Kaiyuan Realm as a matter of course.

Hearing this, Ling Tianyun felt his heart sink by half. At that moment, he wished he could instantly sprout wings and fly to Baishui Pass to rush to his father's side. He could afford to disregard the Northern Han Emperor's decree, but with the intervention of martial cultivator factions, even if his father commanded tens of thousands of troops, it would be impossible to guard against every contingency.

Conversely, Hua Shuiyou and Tang Tangfang felt nothing in particular. They had not previously witnessed any gale-force winds, and hearing Lin尘 describe it this way, they both wore expressions of anticipation.

Dong Ru was completely dazed. Following that, a blush rushed across her cheeks, and the sudden kiss left her entirely flustered. She could only stare at him with wide eyes, passively receiving it.

Hearing this, Zhu Huang's body gave a start. With a gentle stamp of his foot, a tremendous force rippled through the ground, causing Li Songzi to float suspended in mid-air, neither sinking nor rising.
