Volume 1, Chapter 23: The Assassins Annihilated!

"Consider yourself lucky. If this succeeds, you probably wouldn't trade it even for the lordship of a domain," Da Wei said with a mysterious air.

"The formation I am about to cast is called the Golden Convergence Array. By utilizing our combined strength, we will stimulate the Metal-elemental qi surrounding this mountain. Once excited, we will channel all this energy into the mountain itself to eradicate all the rainbow grass," Xiang Zhenghui explained, outlining the basics of the formation.

Looking at Xu Mo with a face full of sorrow, Xiao Fan said with utter helplessness, as anyone in this situation would find it both bizarre and coincidental.

Cao Chenghai hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Seeing that Liang Yuan did not hold him accountable for Yang Ming’s earlier retort, he breathed a silent sigh of relief.

No sooner had he opened the door than he was startled: Dashan was shirtless, tightly constricted by a snake as thick as a human thigh. Qin Yuan did not think twice; he clenched his fist and smashed it into the strange serpent.

"This is Elder Shen’s home," Wu Fan said to Feng and Jiang. Although they had visited when they first met Elder Shen, it was their first time arriving in such a manner, and they might not have recognized it immediately.

At this moment, the giant was observing the events unfolding at the foot of the mountain, but his face remained expressionless, his thoughts inscrutable.

The gate behind them creaked open. Leaning against it, Jin and Hill tumbled inward together. Several hands reached out from inside to drag them in before the gate slammed shut, blocking the zombies outside.

She was clearly inexperienced in this, managing only to cut a shallow wound. The rooster crowed and struggled desperately, feathers and blood flying in all directions.

Even the sofa Yang Ming sat on had been tidied up perfectly by Qing Yulan; the entire room felt brand new in an instant.

"Have you said enough?" Wang Zha’s face wore a smile, a warm expression so infectious that it brought a sense of calm to those around him.

His thinking was sound, and his choice extremely decisive. Since Zhao Tianyou had already closed the distance, the iron spear—being a long weapon—was cumbersome; discarding it to draw his scimitar was the correct move.

Sager drew his wand from his robes and gave it a light flick. An image resembling a rippling water surface immediately appeared in the air.

Li Shishi teased, watching Zhao Yu’er in the distance, a sense of rivalry inevitably stirring in her heart.

Relatively speaking, however, Liu Aoxue was soft-hearted. She only wanted to retaliate for the frustration of being verbally suppressed earlier and did not do anything excessive, nor did she use any drastic means to torment Su Xin.

Meanwhile, cross-sea material trade with the Wa nation was steadily and stably increasing. At this time, the internal factions of the Wa nation were unprecedentedly united; after mutual compromises, they had reached a consensus on their goals and were in a stage of recuperation and development.

"Indeed, things have changed so much." Ye Feng met Li Yilian’s gaze. Though his tone was calm, his heart was in turmoil. Faintly, he felt himself superimposing her figure with that of Zhang Silin.

Hmph! Mortals always envy our existence, envy these so-called "immortals." But what do they know of the cruelty of the cultivation world? If there are massacres of cities among mortals, what can be said of the casualties caused by the wars of the immortal realm?

At the very center of the King’s Academy stands a thousand-meter-tall, hundred-story King’s Tower. It is said that this tower can accurately determine the strength of kings.

Song Qin was completely deranged, her hair disheveled. Under the deliberate control of Wang Zha’s force, her entire face was swollen just enough to reach her earlobes, her eyes squinted shut like a Maitreya, looking indescribably ridiculous.

The two entered the tent, where Ming Lu had breakfast waiting. He was so stunned upon seeing Han Yue that he could not speak.

Upon hearing the nurse’s voice, Zhan Dong’s mother seemed to be cast into hell. Her body trembled twice before she collapsed back onto the bed, returning to her previous state, leaning against the headboard with hollow eyes.

I understood his state of mind. Even though he had wanted to bring down this head of the family before, now that he had actually done it, he might find it hard to accept for a moment.

Du Fanchuan and I, like two underground agents, each gripped a mobile phone and began our difficult and time-consuming conversation.

Sikong Yanfei had also been exhausted for several days, busy with both government affairs in the city and overseeing the wedding arrangements.

I grabbed her and asked where everyone had gone. Knowing I was overly anxious, she patiently explained that Tang Chuanxiu and Mang Kang had left for the company early in the morning, while Zheng Huaiyuan and Shu Congxuan had gone to Beijing.

Since Zhou Fan couldn't make it, the seat next to me remained empty. I placed all my snacks on it, turned off my phone, and prepared to enjoy an audiovisual feast.

Han Bai-mo moved his hand to her head with some awkwardness. Her hair was warm from the sun. He stroked her locks with clumsy movements, his palm’s warmth seeping through the strands. In his bottomless eyes, a corner of the iceberg seemed to show signs of melting.

"No, this is a matter of major principle. I must come and pick you up. Get in the car and I'll explain over the phone." Bao Yifan looked at Yue Xi with frustration and a headache.

However, just as Han Bai-mo stared at her with eyes as black as an endless abyss, she suddenly felt a flash of avoidance. What if he really nodded?

Cao Cao returned to Hulu once more, joining forces with Lü Qian and Shi Huan. Lü Qian forcibly conscripted several thousand local young men to make up for the losses of the Cao army, restoring its strength to fifty thousand troops.
