Chapter 34

"Where else would they be? Look, buried inside." Taotie pointed casually toward the entrance of the karst cave, which was sealed tight by fallen rubble. A faint, rumbling sound emanated from behind the debris, as if something within were battering against the obstruction.

"My god, Qingzhi actually lost the ball! How is that even possible?" Zhang Yulin shouted, clutching her camera.

Once she truly crossed the threshold into the ranks of the cultivators, a natural rift would inevitably form between her and these mortals.

"Trying to ambush me? You’re far too green!" Lu Xingyue glared at the dark shadow, a cold glint flashing in her heterochromatic gold and silver eyes. With another wave of her hand, the shadow was yanked from the ceiling by a beam of light, crashing headlong into the pile of rubble below.

With a face as terrifying as a malicious ghost, Bai Fan appeared more like a demon than Aromi herself. In an instant, he closed the distance to stand before her, closing his eyes first.

Seeing the soldiers beginning to rest and recover their demonic energy, Long Ya beckoned Leng Ning over. He whispered a few words into the man's ear; Leng Ning nodded immediately and departed to carry out the order.

Ren turned his head, gazing into Feier’s enchanting, ethereal eyes, and spoke with tender devotion.

At this moment, Su Bailu did not cause any trouble; she, too, had sensed that the attitudes of her fourth sister and fifth brother were wrong.

A crisp "crack" echoed through the air, and the two thugs collapsed to the ground, clutching their twisted arms and howling like banshees.

Zhuge Xuesong pointed out the weaknesses of these puppets to everyone. Once they severed those parts and extracted the formation crystals controlling them, the task became much simpler, thanks to his detection array.

At first, Zhuge Kongming's words had given Yan Lingji a fright, given that he possessed the highest strength and status among them. However, upon hearing Chu Feng speak, she finally set her heart at ease.

Fortunately, the Spirit Gathering Array was one of the most common and fundamental formations in the cultivation world. Liu Xing committed the steps to memory, comparing the existing formation against the standard methods of construction.

When Xuan Wuji swam to the base of the tower, he found the gate locked and impenetrable, which left him feeling quite frustrated.

The next morning, all the students arrived in the classroom, while the students of Class One gathered at the training grounds.

No sooner had the three finished speaking than the Cheng sisters and the two ladies entered. Seeing the three seated, they quickly bowed in deep reverence.

"What!? You... you dare be so disrespectful to Master Diao? I..." Su Zhenghao had been somewhat cautious when the white-haired elder first spoke, as the man was a newly accepted lay disciple of Master Ziyang, and the three brothers had come to Chengan Restaurant specifically to seek out Master Ziyang himself.

The entire Lin family was incensed. Household guards and servants alike drew their weapons and swarmed toward Chu Feng and his three companions.

Chu Feng had arranged for those two to join Yue Fei’s army primarily because Yue Fei commanded with strict discipline, and both men were loyal and righteous; they would be better utilized within the ranks of the Yue Army.

The records still available today confirm that the ancient dragons possessed astonishing defensive capabilities. Combined with their immense power and inherent bloodline advantages, it could be said that in a one-on-one battle between those of the same realm, no individual or race could defeat a dragon.

Through the window, fragments of moonlight spilled into the room. The night was as dark as ink, with the moon bright and the stars sparse, unintentionally adding a touch of lingering melancholy.

The ones who spoke were Gao Meng, who had already broken through to the third tier, and the head of the Yagyu family from the island nation, Yagyu Shouyi, who was at the peak of the fourth tier, accompanied by over a dozen master-level experts behind them.

"This... is there really no problem?" The potency of the medicine was so terrifying that even a single drop of the broth would likely be enough to knock down a Xiantian-level python-ox. A trace of worry flickered in Ye Piaoxue’s eyes.

Mu Zichen’s heart was stirred. In daily life, the Zhang brothers always seemed silly and dim-witted, sometimes even giving the impression that they were easy to bully.

Lan Yu’s brow furrowed involuntarily. When did he learn to smoke? Her eyelashes fluttered a few times before she lifted her lids to look at Zhai Jin.

For the sake of an inanimate object, she had allowed a rift to grow between her and her master. Qingyun Daoist nun was filled with regret and now sincerely hoped her master would allow her to look after her junior sister and niece as a form of atonement.

The scenery of the city became increasingly familiar, until that manor emerged. The demonic banner transformed into a large flag, planted in the front courtyard. The triangular cloth rippled and billowed in the wind. Apart from the lack of an airport or modern buildings, the mountains and landscape were identical to Australia.

Qu Yanpeng laughed: "No problem. How about we try again with the same team composition? I’ll tell you what to watch out for as we play." As he spoke, he prepared to put his headset back on to start a new round.

It had been over an hour since the two of them were imprisoned in the dungeon, and no one had come to disturb them yet. It was likely the enemy was waiting for someone to oversee the interrogation or was strategizing on how to pry their mouths open.

Qi and Chang instinctively looked toward the distance. Fortunately, whether they hadn't heard or simply didn't want to acknowledge it, the black tornado over there showed no signs of dissipating.
