Although the demon race had many legends, the Empire’s legends were even more formidable, and hardly fewer in number. If the Nine Great Academies intervened later, every last force of the demon race would be swept away.

Worried that there would not be enough room, An Ruo even brought over a sturdy sack and stuffed into it everything that could not fit in the bags.

I was rather surprised. My magic power might not be very strong, but I was still an immortal. How had I been seen through so easily while invisible?

After a moment of silence, Liu Xie took the Imperial Jade Seal into his hands. In an instant, the sound of dragons roaring rang out in his mind. The dragon aura that had been constantly escaping from the seal stopped dispersing the moment it fell into Liu Xie’s hands, and the dragon aura surrounding it gradually flowed back inside.

Zhang Bao was no fool. He felt that he should soothe the other party. If they did not want the money, then so be it; what was done was done. If you ran into a blockhead, you could only count yourself unlucky.

She had spent so long doing so many unnecessary things. What a fool she had been. It was time to wake up.

In such a setting, it was hardly a big deal for another team, sent by the Yangyang Sports Science Research Center, to participate.

The young secret mages were all somewhat envious. This was where a true mage ought to go.

The boss wanted to ask just one thing: were the two of them a couple? Had anyone ever seen a person ruin her own image in front of her boyfriend? Ye Wei had utterly abandoned any semblance of dignity by the things she did here.

He had never expected that, in the end, he had miscalculated. He had underestimated Luo Qinghan’s strength, and he had also underestimated her methods.

The Azure Bird, caught between seven colors and white, looked somewhat strange. Yet the moment it entered the white, it immediately transformed into an Azure Bird.

“Boom!”

As the two fists collided, dazzling radiance burst forth between them. The blinding light made it nearly impossible for anyone to open their eyes, and everyone hurriedly dodged.

He had come tonight with another purpose in mind. Thus, after going out merely to change his clothes, he forced himself to return to the auction hall. The moment he sat down and saw Chen Han’s seat, he heard Chen Han’s bid. Before he even had time to become angry, the bid shocked him so badly that he bit through his tongue.

One had to understand that Yu Junzheng was the leader of the Rain Alliance. Even across the entire Thunder God Star, he was considered a top-tier cultivator. When he stamped his foot, half of Thunder God Star would tremble. Yet he was actually so respectful toward the white-robed man beside him.

“Four hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones...” A faint smile appeared at the corner of Chu Yun’s mouth. He slowly tapped his fingers against the table and murmured to himself.

“This old man has waited for many years and finally lived to see the Emperor God fall. The Emperor God Jade belongs to me and no one else. Whoever stands in my way will die!” The old man was as thin and withered as kindling. His voice was harsh and grating, yet fiercely sharp, and every move he made was vicious.

Di Ze smiled as he glanced at her and struck again. After several sharp creaks and scrapes, a slanted stone staircase suddenly appeared in midair along the originally sheer cliff face.

This time, however, when the soul-origin artifact flew out, it did not chop away much rock. It merely pierced three inches into the cliff wall. Startled, Qin Feng walked over and pulled the soul-origin artifact free.

“What just happened? Why did it seem as though three bolts of heavenly lightning, each a different color, had descended?” the disciples of the Divine Heaven Sect asked.

The man was tall and lanky, dressed in coarse hemp clothing that left his arms and ankles exposed. In this still bitterly cold season, his attire looked exceedingly strange.

The Grand Elder was an unparalleled expert of the Zhongli Clan. His Enlightened Spirit Armor had already transformed into Silver Radiance Armor, and he had hardly appeared in the world for nearly a century. Even within the Zhongli Clan, a powerhouse of this level could be counted on one hand.

She had slept until she woke naturally, and her temper was fairly good. She was rather easygoing, and the utensils she had used for breakfast were easy to wash as well, so she had no reason to feel dissatisfied.

By then, Zhongli Tian had secretly found another place to sit. Ignored by everyone, he slowly drank his fine wine. To him, such things had already been far removed from his life in his previous existence.

“But...” Cui Ruyu hesitated. She knitted her brows, the love in her heart caught in her throat, impossible to voice.

She had not dared speak in the elevator, afraid that the moment she opened her mouth, she would be unable to stop herself from crying. Only now, in this deserted corner, did she dare let her tears fall.

Shu Lü’s gaze toward the bandages changed. She raised her hand once more, but the fair, lustrous palm remained completely unchanged.

The Feng Clan disciple wore an expressionless face. Pressing two fingers against the mercenary’s wrist, he made a single stroke, and a drop of blood fell onto the token.

Su Zhiyi did not know whether she ought to feel fear or panic. She knew only that as long as she was beside him, neither fear nor panic remained.

If he had not been holding back, he would not have used the Celestial Cat Step to appear directly before him just now. He would have appeared behind him instead.

When Qi Chengwu and the others saw Gong Shiqin staring motionlessly in one direction, they naturally turned their heads to look as well. Bewildered, they saw two elegant young gentlemen of striking appearance walking toward them with unfriendly expressions.

Zhen Wanting actually understood this herself. Whether what Yue Longtian had said was true was unimportant, and whether she believed him was unimportant as well. What mattered was whether she still loved Yue Longtian. If she did, then everything else was secondary.

Yi’er made no response. He secretly marveled at Mu Mu’s cleverness. Not only had she found her position with pinpoint accuracy, she had already begun plotting against him?

“Do me a favor for the sake of our brotherhood! I’ll have another proper talk with the boss! Let the brothers take eighty thousand for now next month! Once...” If not for the benefits this job offered, Xu Peng would never have humbled himself so shamelessly.

Talent did not represent one’s rank among the Death Gods. Possessing captain-level talent did not mean one could immediately become a captain of one of the Thirteen Divisions. It meant only that one possessed the qualifications and talent to attain captain-level strength.

Along the way, Dongfang Yi stopped pressing Luo Yixuan for answers, and her heartbeat gradually settled.

To drive out Guo Liang, the stock had already fallen to a very low price. As long as it rose, she should have been able to make a handsome profit. Yet several times, just as it approached the first target price, it plunged sharply. The shares could not be sold, the losses continued to mount, and as she watched the money Chu Tianxiong had earned gradually dwindle, she grew frantic.
