Chapter Ninety-Six: Either Together, or We Refuse!

There are only two ways to obtain merit points: completing tasks issued by the Demon Hunting Team's mission tower or slaying demons. If merit points cannot be distributed equally, the consequences are enormous. Those with little combat ability and only supporting skills receive very few merit points. Without equal distribution, it is difficult for them to acquire enough points to purchase equipment, making it hard for their strength to increase. Not everyone can be as extraordinary as Bai Nianxuan, who hunts demons...

Born into the royal family, Li Chengqian became crown prince at eight years old and was accustomed to many things seen only in the palace. Looking at his pregnant cousin, he could only follow his cousin-in-law's wishes and refrain from mentioning the matter again.

Elsewhere, above the Heavenly King, the Five Elders temporarily tasked with controlling the Heavenly King also noticed Im and Vlad’s arrival, their expressions showing clear surprise.

But truly, there is no need to elaborate; the setting is never revealed all at once in a single chapter or even in three.

Yet the final step—the ninth transformation of the Ninefold Rebirth Technique, awakening the soul and reviving consciousness—is something the original body cannot accomplish alone.

This inheritance’s secret realm could also be called the Sword Tomb; countless immortal swords of various forms and grades are buried here. With Li Yang’s arrival, they are activated one by one, and a new, more perilous trial descends upon her.

However, the old man's words caused Luo Ting's expression to change abruptly. Luo Ting had already collected considerable information about cultivation and knew that transmission was not so simple. Instantly, he realized the old man before him was likely no true celestial emissary.

Vlad was genuinely surprised, an uncommon occurrence for him, but upon further thought, it made sense. After all, he was an outsider, and his relationship with Mitsuki Oden was not particularly close. If his identity were swapped with Sakata’s, perhaps both sides would have already formed an alliance, but he was not.

At this moment, except for the vice captain, everyone else stared wide-eyed at the captain. As it turned out, their task was to deliver production materials to the clones, which explained why the specifics had remained unknown until now.

After eating a little and tidying up, all preparations were ready. She gripped her Tang blade, vigilantly scanning her surroundings, her ears attentive to the faintest sounds.

Lu Ping blinked, then took the drawing and examined it closely. Raising his eyes to Qingyu, his face was filled with disbelief. He studied the painting again and only after a long while set it down.

The sensation beneath her hand was like pressing against solid rock; she longed to squeeze it, but forcibly restrained herself.

This meant their financial power was greater, bringing in more rewards and tips.

Being captain was no easy task; managing the daily expenses of tens of thousands of people was her responsibility. If not for the veteran members sharing the burden, she might have given up the post altogether.

That remark drew a round of approving laughter. Bai Invincible handed over the wine pouch and showed everyone the square leather tied to the pocket, grinning slyly. “I found something.”

“Just wait at the place you arrived before,” One Sword for All Life replied, then used the Sword Control Technique to send the two out of the sword pavilion, depositing them where they had first been received.

The concern was that he might lose his abilities, preventing him from opening his modified space. So, no matter how many supplies the space held, he couldn’t use them now.

As the surging wave threatened to engulf him, in an instant, Tianliu transformed into thousands of bodies—the move “Moon Reflects Autumn River” appeared once more.

It resembled volcanic magma, bubbling constantly and emitting fine smoke. The scent was rich and intoxicating, drawing one irresistibly into its allure.

So, over the past few days, Zuo Siming, Duanmu Yun, Dong Bin, and Li Quan, who were outside, began secretly arranging military affairs to ensure that even in their absence, order would be maintained.
