Volume One, Chapter 26: Standing Up for Her

A day later, three figures appeared somewhere in the desert. They were Yang Hao, Lu Quan, and Zheng Ding. After leaving the group, they had been wandering through the desert ever since.

Then perhaps he could find a way to neutralize the killing move and draw the mist-forming true energy gathered at his fingertips back into his dantian. Besides, he had already guessed that the so-called condensation of true energy into essence was the method within the Lightness Finger martial art for assisting the cultivation of true energy.

Ye Zheng sensed the situation briefly. In the face of the vast number of heart demons outside, the black hole at the uppermost layer within his body was trembling even more violently, radiating an urge to devour, devour, devour.

An irritated expression hung upon his face. No matter how much Gong Wuxie tried to ignore it, he still felt as though he wanted to slaughter everyone under heaven to relieve the anxiety and terror in his heart.

Although he could not cultivate the newly acquired technique, he had not gained nothing. Judging from what was recorded in the lower-grade chapter, he finally understood why he had been able to use the power of his spiritual root to suppress the berserk killing intent at his fingertips.

It was not only Du Hao who was confused; the audience was baffled as well. Were we the sixth player? Were we supposed to defend the red-haired guy whom no one was marking?

Jian Hao listened quietly as Jian Jie spoke, his brows drawing together so tightly they were almost knotted. He asked Jian Jie to hand him the phone.

“You damn bastard, you still dare to curse at me!” Lu Yi raised his foot and kicked the old woman squarely in the head. The people strolling nearby immediately gathered around, and several burly men seized Lu Yi at once.

The scroll unfurled, and blinding radiance flashed. The countless jade swords vanished, while Ling Yuxuan let out a muffled groan and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Didn’t you say I should win him over? I helped him preserve Antique Street this time. Isn’t that enough?” Qin Miao said.

Hearing Mo Ming’s voice, Murong Lian recovered from her daze. She saw clearly the young man crouching before her—the same young man she had once found repulsive, who had now become nourishment for her soul. The instant she saw Mo Ming clearly, a sense of peace filled her heart.

Long Sha had only recently arrived in Nanhua City and knew nothing about how things were done there. After just a few words from Luo Long, he agreed to remain in Nanhua City and take charge of all affairs. With Yang Fan’s brief guidance, he immediately saw through the situation.

“Gone?” Empress Dowager Ming saw that her son was distracted and understood most of what had happened. She could not help feeling somewhat disappointed.

Mu Licheng promptly reached out and caught her, letting her lean against his chest. Zhao Jiajia had no strength left in her body. Her legs were unsteady, and her consciousness drifted between sleep and wakefulness. Although she had met the man before her only three times, she trusted him inexplicably.

“Of course they were. The moment each of them saw that you were engaged, they looked as though they had lost their souls and their lives,” Ji Qingqing snorted.

When he had left that morning, he had still pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. Clearly, he had wanted to love her properly and cherish her well.

Suddenly, Ye Ming felt an arm tighten around his. Turning his head, he saw that Li Mengyao was clinging tightly to his arm. “You don’t mind me holding on to you like this, do you?” Li Mengyao’s cheeks flushed faintly as she pressed herself close to Ye Ming.

Then they saw that the treasure map had completely fitted itself against the stone wall. At once, the wall burst into radiant light, and the entire grassy field was flooded with dazzling brilliance.

Listening to the undisguised murderous words spoken by the man before them, some of the bandits wanted to avenge their leader, but in the end none dared move. At that moment, Ye Feng looked exactly like a demon king who had descended into the mortal world—his foot planted on a corpse, a severed head in his hand. What kind of person could possibly be more terrifying than he was then?

“Actually, this puppet can no longer even be called a puppet.” Zhang Yuanhang pondered the player behind this reincarnation deception. He had not paid much attention to it at the moment of death; perhaps he himself had already become an aggregation of the world’s will.

Shi Cancan did not want to appear discourteous, so she reached out to accept the business card. Who could have expected that President Wang’s greasy hand would follow it up and fondle her?

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ling said something, and her eyes reddened as tears began to fall uncontrollably. After all, Chen Ao had resorted to such a desperate measure only to save her. Zhao Ling was both moved and heartbroken.

Wuzhuang: That was amazing! I had actually been thinking of retiring because of the discourtesy during last year’s competition. But after hearing this song, I realized that none of that matters. No matter how great the setback, we must never lose our fighting spirit. Keep going, all you professional players!

As Kardashian slowly recounted the story, Zhang Yuanhang gradually came to understand what the nobles of this world were really like.

Wu Wei walked out of the house and saw Quinn approaching from a distance. Seeing this, Wu Wei took the initiative to walk toward him.

“Shen Mo? Do you know who Shen Mo is?” the old man in the black robe asked as he looked at the three disciples of the Five Elements and Six Harmonies Sect kneeling on the ground.

“If this had been in the past, then yes. But now, none of it matters anymore.” Wu Wei gently stroked the tree trunk once more.

Chen Ao raised an eyebrow, a smile playing at the corner of his lips. He thought to himself that the great poet Liu really was a romantic at heart. No wonder he would later become a leading master of the graceful and restrained school of poetry.

While Chen Ao was still puzzled, Lan Yuyan and Horkez had already begun retreating upstairs. His confusion deepened, and wanting to understand what was going on, Chen Ao had no choice but to follow closely behind them.

Once he had resolved the knot in his heart, the furrow between Liang Shan’s brows finally relaxed. He immediately explained the true purpose of his visit and handed Zhu Shuzhen a portrait of Dong Danni.

Zhang Ziyi, standing nearby, was already so nervous that she could not speak. She clutched Zhou Bai’s hand tightly, gripping it hard enough to hurt him. But Zhou Bai had no time to comfort her; they could only wait for the final result to be announced.

The reason for doing this was to observe more effectively. Moreover, while condensing the celestial body, the Brahma-chanting monk could implant his own mental power within it, allowing him to locate the three Dao Lords more accurately.

Du Wenze and Chen Muyi, the two young actors of the new generation, were the most nervous. Their lips were tightly pressed together as they waited eagerly to hear their names, fists clenched while they awaited the guests’ announcement.

Liu Fei smiled but said nothing more. Instead, he immediately began the first acupuncture and massage treatment on Hao Zhuangzhuang.

Especially in a massive network of interconnected meridians such as this, the spiritual essence nurtured within would naturally conceal itself without leaving a trace.

Liu Xueting and Feng Xuanyu’s pretty faces turned cold. They shouted in unison, unwilling to allow anyone to insult Li Yi.

Wang Li was extremely excited. Although she had long since abandoned all hope, the words Dong Wanqing had spoken, as relayed by Professor Jennifer moments earlier, suddenly gave her a powerful intuition: the miracle had truly happened again.
