Chapter 392 Recovery

After leaving Li An's house, Bai Jianxin's eyes were filled with a complex expression.Li An had just given him a strong sense of oppression.This sense of oppression didn't stem from his realm or strength, but from his very being.Before entering, he had assumed Li An would relent, at most paying a little more.In his imagination, Li An would likely shake hands with him, smiling broadly.But he had never imagined that Li An would still pursue the Shura Clan, and with such determination.He would not stop until his enemies were bruised and bloodied!This was the realization Li An had gained after observing the experiences of past human kings in the flying sand and stone formation.Outside the door.Bai Jianxin suddenly turned around, unaware that Lin Shijing was waiting for him at the intersection."Why are you here?"He stepped forward.Lin Shijing said calmly, "I was afraid he wouldn't think you represented the demon clan, so I was going to speak on your behalf.""Yes." Bai Jianxin shook his head and sighed, then told Lin Shijing what he had just seen and learned. Li An's Sainthood Points from raiding resources came not only from Frost and Snow, but also from the human geniuses of the Mind Group.That's a tremendous amount of power.And behind him, there's Ke Xiu, developing a special-grade Ascension Pill.Even ten demons wouldn't be able to defeat them."Get the goods from Li An for 10% more than the original price, and we'll have to help him deal with the Shuras later.""That's not impossible."Lin Shijing frowned and said, "But, after this batch, will we have to pay a premium for the rest?"Bai Jianxin said seriously, "I'll negotiate.""Did Li An give you any trouble?" Lin Shijing asked."No." Bai Jianxin shook his head."Okay." Lin Shijing nodded.Ten days passed.Li An's realm progress reached 39%. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll reach around 50 before the earthquake next week.The fifth round of flying sand and rocks.This time, Li An faced the Third Generation Human King, Li Zhenlong. During the reign of this Human King, the human race experienced almost no war and enjoyed steady and rapid development.The radical first generation passed the throne to the even more radical second generation.The second generation, realizing that humanity could no longer tolerate further radicalism, passed the throne to the highly developed Li Zhenlong.However, this emperor was also ruthless.Just as the previous two generations had dealt with external threats with drastic and brutal tactics, this generation dealt with internal troubles with impunity. Being a civil servant, with its performance reviews, had become a once-envied profession, no longer a guaranteed job.Li Zhenlong carried out tremendous reforms within the human race, and using materials reaped at the cost of the second generation's lives, he forged a boundary vessel that condensed the destiny and faith of the human realm.The boundary-suppressing vessel—the Human King Sword—was also known as the True Dragon Sword.Across the divinely radiant Human King Sword, inscribed in flowing strokes were eight characters: "Received the Mandate from the People, Long Live and Prosper." This meant that I, obeying the will of the people, as Human King, must ensure the longevity of the people and the everlasting prosperity of the nation. Today, the human world possesses three powerful instruments: the Human King Sword, the World-Suppressing Seal, and the God-Slaying Spear.Back then, the God-Slaying Spear was given to Li An by Chen Changsheng.Now, the God-Slaying Spear has been passed to Xu Xu.The World-Suppressing Seal remains in the hands of his father-in-law.The Human King Sword, along with the Human King, has been silent for years.After a long time, the Flying Sand and Rock Formation closed.Li An left the formation, achieving a high score.According to his previous plan, he swept through all the key resources on the third level.Now,Zhen and Zang were truly anxious.The Shura Clan had run out of valuable resources.Zang went to find Lin Shijing.Lin Shijing stunned Zang with a somewhat silly, yet incredibly informative, remark. Zang asked Lin Shijing, "Do you know where Li An got so many Saint Cultivation Points? He's already cleared out all the key resources for the Third Realm."Lin Shijing: "I don't know. It doesn't matter. I have the resources."Hearing this answer, Zang instinctively thought about selling me some.But the next second, he realized.Where did they get the resources?"Give me a definite answer.""Have the demons joined forces with the humans?"Lin Shijing still shook his head, saying, "The demons are not my responsibility. Bai Jianxin has the final say now.""He has the resources to sell us. Why would I ask so much about where they came from?"Zang left in a rage and went to talk to Zhen about the matter. Zhen's first reaction was, "Go up to the fifth floor and quickly buy up the resources in the upper three realms."Zang asked, "What about the people down there?"Zhen said calmly, "Let them go to Li An to buy them."Zang: "Li An will definitely sell them for exorbitant prices.""Don't I know?" Zhen asked, "What else can we do?""Talk to Li An nicely, try to surrender?"Zhen's anger flared, his voice rising sharply: "Do you think he'll let us go?!""If anyone's to blame, blame those useless monsters of the demon race!"But as soon as he finished his outburst, he took a deep breath and said, "If it really doesn't work out, I'll go find my father.""They're all Asuras. There's no shortage of cultivation resources up there. Anything inferior won't matter."Zhen thought this was the only way for now.The humans and monsters had joined forces, determined to monopolize the resources. The Asuras had no recourse.As for surrendering?How could Zhao Shaolong ever let him go?Zhen seemed calm, but in reality, his blood was already sluggish.When he was utterly furious... Li An had already left the Cultivation Temple and returned to the Spark Territory.Shuanghan had been waiting at the Marshal's Mansion for a long time, for today was the day Frost Snow would fully recover.But according to Mr. Tianming, no one knew what would happen next, so he was very nervous.Shuanghan brought his two children to the Holy Mountain to meet Mr. Tianming.As soon as Li An reached the summit, he was met with a scene that made his scalp tingle.The cold yet wise Five Elements Emperor leaned on Mr. Tianming's shoulder, a happy smile on his face.No.The Five Elements Emperor was tall and voluptuous, and compared to the aged Mr. Tianming, he seemed a little... frail.The sight was truly chilling.This was Li An's first time meeting Mr. Tianming, and he was extremely respectful and serious.Zhuge Tianming simply smiled and said, "Long time no see," which left Li An baffled. Then, he had the Five Elements Emperor bring out a sumptuous lunch and sent the annoying Frost Cold down the mountain.The four of them, two couples, sat at the table, feeling somewhat awkward.Mr. Tianming, however, was frivolous, his smile narrowing into a narrowed brow. He said, "Little Li, I have a serious question for you."Li An quickly swallowed the food in his throat and looked up, "Go ahead.""Do you love Frost Cold?""Of course!" Li An answered without hesitation."Okay."Mr. Tianming turned to Frost Cold and asked, "Do you love Li An?"Frost Cold nodded seriously, saying, "I will always love my husband.""Hmm..." Mr. Tianming chuckled and said, "Then give each other a kiss.""Huh?"Li An and Frost Cold were both startled.Mr. Tianming demonstrated a kiss with the Five Elements Emperor, then turned and said, "This way, give each other a kiss.""Huh!?"Li An and Frost Cold's scalps tingled.Why did it feel like they had encountered a pervert?But in the end, they naturally didn't dare refuse. There was no reason to refuse. It wasn't their first kiss, but with outsiders present, it felt a bit awkward.After the kiss,Li An and Shuangxue's cheeks flushed slightly.Suddenly.With a "crack,"An ice bead adorning the dining table shattered.Zhuge Tianming's narrowed eyes suddenly became sharp, instantly piercing Shuangxue's soul.The silk thread was completely infused with life.Shuangxue recovered.What would that vibrant thread of fate bring her?
