Volume 1, Chapter 25: What Are You?

As the words fell, the core disciples of the Xuan Palace standing behind Su Xiaowan chimed in one after another.

"People from the Wuxin Hall are truly arrogant! After failing hundreds of times, they actually have the nerve to claim they can break the Saintess’s record?"

"Who’s to say otherwise? It’s not just arrogant; it’s laughable! Even if we take a step back and assume they succeed this time, it still wouldn’t count as breaking the Saintess’s record!"

"Exactly! Does passing the Demon-Slaying Sword Formation after hundreds of attempts really qualify as breaking the Saintess’s record?"

"Besides, there’s no guarantee they’ll even pass this time! I don’t know what everyone else thinks, but I don't see it happening!"

"Hahaha! Of course not! The Saintess is the number one talent of the younger generation on this continent!..."

"Your handwriting lacks substance," Zhao Xuran said, truly feeling embarrassed to make Zhao Guangran rewrite it.

In truth, the moment they saw the doctor’s strange demeanor, Lu Xun, Mulan, and Huang Xiaoyu all realized that this fellow was definitely up to no good. The claim that he was searching for a key was something not even a fool would believe, let alone people like Lu Xun, Mulan, and Huang Xiaoyu.

Tony looked at Jiang Se from left to right. The makeup was finished, but there was still something not quite right about it.

As the saying goes, "courtesy demands reciprocity," so An Yizhi fired a beam back in the direction the acid had come from, though it naturally missed its mark.

"That meal was truly terrifying," Wang Xiaopang couldn't help but grumble to Naha on the way back.

"Regarding the Grand Elder, I had people investigate at Dugu Castle, and there doesn't seem to be anything unusual. Aside from the matter of the Xuanyuan Sword, he only wants to save his son; now, everything else has nothing to do with him," Tian Xirui explained.

Everyone understood the situation, but they wondered what would happen next. They shared everything they knew, hoping to find some benefit in the exchange.

However, a situation like 2015—where not a single building was sold in the six months since they went on the market—was unprecedented.

Sect Master Ji and Zhao Dajie dared not step forward; they were in a state of extreme shock as they witnessed the scene.

When Harman stepped off the tram, Lu Xun was already waiting outside, staring at him coldly.

"Lan Xin, what’s wrong?" Tang Tang, dressed in men’s clothing, was looking in the mirror when she turned back to see Lan Xin’s face pale and bloodless, as was Jun Yifan’s.

"If only I could meet someone like that," Xia Mengyou said with a look of longing. Upon hearing this, Yun Feiyu glanced at me.

Qian Meiyue gazed at the youth in white standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of awe. He didn’t know why, but he felt no hatred toward the person before him; instead, he looked up to this seemingly young man with admiration and yearning. He didn't care much for those who had died, though Yuan Yong'er’s death would cause him a headache for some time.

I looked at the road ahead through the car window as new scenery constantly flashed by. I fixed my gaze on the passing views, but my mind was elsewhere, cluttered with random, scattered thoughts.

"Damn it, stop laughing like that, or I’m hanging up." Even over the phone, hearing that tone, Liu Yaoxi could imagine the mischievous smirk on Yun Feiyu’s face.

"When can we go over, and how did you judge that, Senior?" Pan Yuhong looked at Kong Ji like a curious child.

Jones, perhaps you are wrong. Is there really any necessity to upgrade to the final form? One lives but once. Make that life brilliant.

The expressions of Xuan Zhiwang and the others shifted, and they quickly began forming hand seals; they had no desire to offend the people of the ancient Phoenix Clan at this moment.

"Damn, you can tell what I’m thinking even over the phone?!" Yun Feiyu shouted suddenly, nearly giving Liu Yaoxi a start.

As a special support skill, it possesses the functions of disrupting physical attacks, high-temperature radiation, outer-flame burning, visual interference, and trapping or obstructing enemies.

Liu Liu watched with amusement as Aini'er’s face flushed with alternating shades of green and red. In truth, the piece Aini'er was wearing couldn't really be called an out-of-season design, but Luo Zidie’s eye for fashion was too sharp; this style had indeed been featured on the runway at the previous Paris Fashion Week. If she insisted on calling it outdated, no one could refute her.

"Alright, Mom," Cheng Liyue said with a smile as she approached. She could understand Yang Yunruo’s joy and excitement; she could see how much she loved her eldest brother.

This was perhaps the first time since growing up that she had a moment where she only thought about eating. Although she had no appetite, her mind was occupied with thoughts of various foods, and she had even developed a taste for several types of fruit.

Looking out through the window, one could even see a patch of clear blue sky, a stark contrast to the thick, suffocating fog and deathly silence that had greeted them when they first arrived.

A low growl, filled with intense aggression, emanated from the black pangolin, which had once again become ethereal.

A moment later, the situation improved significantly. A clear, nourishing energy slowly began to circulate through his mind...

Yang Ye stepped out of the car, cast a glance at the twelve statues of the main gods, and then his gaze fell upon the familiar figure walking toward him.

An Ning couldn't help but take several steps back. Gong Yuze immediately walked steadily toward the man in front, and the two men locked eyes, neither daring to let their guard down.

"Regardless, we must at least wait until I have partially removed the mark before we can proceed with the next step of the plan." As I spoke, I reached for the TV remote on the coffee table and switched it on, hoping to catch some news or reports that might offer clues to help me eliminate the mark.

The commonality between the two is that people actually know very little about them. It’s not that they are particularly mysterious; it’s just that unlike cave dwellers, kobolds not only live in caves but also dig tunnels leading to human farms to steal grain, tools, and even clothing.

Although Hediya was a princess and no one would harm her because of a scar, Yuni was still not quite clear on the difference between the two.

After strolling through a street, Xiao Shuyue had spent most of the silver in Ling'er’s possession, and at last, she felt a sense of relief.
