Volume One, Chapter 40: An Open Military District?

He had cultivated for so long, encountering countless situations like this, only for his opponents to escape at the very last moment by various means.

Chang Ming, who had originally been watching over the Ice Emperor Jiang Yue Rou, suddenly left in silence, heading in the same direction as Ye Han, who was pursuing Tang Mu Nuan—that faint, elusive glow. Not only that, he took Jiang Yue Rou along with him as he departed.

Seeing Mo Ru Yang lie down on the bed, Qing Zhu refrained from lingering at the door, bid a brief farewell, turned to leave, and thoughtfully closed the door behind.

“As long as he survives this battle, I’ll promote him to Chief of the Music Division,” Liao Hua spoke without raising his head; even when mentioning life and death, his tone was exceedingly relaxed.

Under the control of the Huangxuan Spiritual Artifact Refining Method, these minerals floated half a foot above the magma pool, subjected to the forging flames of the earth fire.

This fellow… could clearly state the names of the owner and the young master, and even knew the name of their leader.

Gu Meng, who had been watching the two, felt a tinge of disappointment as he saw them both enter the void rift one after the other.

Was it the thief class? The Heart of Fury? Or was it his full set of dark gold gear, a spectral dagger, and his skills? Perhaps, it was his extraordinary abilities?

Ming Tuozi had been renowned in the Southern Wilds for ages. He’d long since reached the peak of the Spirit Infant stage, standing among the strong. Yet, he always acted with discretion, unlike others who flaunted their power. Today, he suddenly unleashed a killing spree, causing the strong to flee in haste; those who failed to escape were either dead or wounded.

“That’s right, Mr. Eagle Yang is correct.” Seeing that He Ying Yang wasn’t trying to stop him, Li Si’s mood instantly improved.

The burly man behind the handsome youth stepped forward, his body surging with source energy—his aura even surpassed Huang Xun, reaching six hundred units of source energy.

Xue Mu Mu nodded, gratefully looking at Gao Luo. Without her, she truly wouldn’t know how to overcome this hurdle. Yet at this moment, Gao Luo gazed at Xue Mu Mu with eyes full of relief, though Xue Mu Mu still sensed a hint of melancholy in her gaze.

But Xue Mu Mu wasn’t swayed by his act. Just as she was about to refuse, Liu Ze’s shoulder was heavily slapped by someone. Furious, he turned to see who had spoiled his moment, but upon spotting Jiang Chao, he froze in place.

Yun Zhi Yao retrieved her Demon-Dispelling Sword, dragged a chair over, leaned back, crossed her legs, and leisurely munched on spicy potato chips.

Sun Wukong did not argue. Stroking his chin, he pondered a strategy, all the while staying alert in case Xuanzang was harmed by the beast.

Lin Feng, fiercely protective of his wife, was troubled by Kui Zhongzhi’s authority and status, so he cast a desperate and pleading look at Liang Qi Zhong.

The elder at the long table merely glanced at the pill recipe and handed it back. After all, the Life-Nourishing Pill was basic knowledge for alchemists—any alchemist would know it, so there was little reason to scrutinize it.

Thinking about Wen Qian’s age this year, he had nothing to say. He was over ten years older than her; being called “uncle” was only natural.

Gu Jiujiang refused to believe in misfortune. There were still three more draws left—he was certain good prizes would appear.

Was telling her not to always follow Gu Jiujiang a sign of disapproval for them becoming a couple?

Thus, as we courted back and forth, we fell in love. Later, she said she’d been sent by her master to experience the world for a year, which led to that scene of our earlier encounter.

This gravel road, once the first section was completed, would eventually stretch across every corner of the Great Tang. What a magnificent sight that would be; just thinking about it exhilarated Li Wan.

Liu Gao Tian earnestly advised, but Zhao Yunlai fell silent in contemplation. Seeing this, Liu Gao Tian said no more; some people simply wouldn’t turn back until they hit the wall.

Fenghua Hotel was described as remote because it was a newly opened, large hotel located in Zhao Fort Town, more than ten kilometers from Imperial Capital Hotel. Though extremely luxurious, it seemed unnecessary for two men to travel so far just to have a drink.

“Mm-hmm! Nana, thank you for the reminder!” Gu Xinyuan patted her hand in a gesture of affection and gratitude.

It turned out this mouse wasn’t just randomly scurrying about, but was moving with a magical set of steps, allowing it to dance atop thousands of blade points without the slightest risk to its life.

Once again, golden flames burst forth in his eyes, each blossom emerging from within him to transform into swords of energy that spread across the sky. Their tips aimed straight at Li Daoling, instantly locking onto his energy, leaving him nowhere to escape.

A million years of accumulated power, countless mighty beings hiding in the shadows, usually concealed and unseen, but at the critical moment, they rose like giant whales and dragons from the depths, revealing their strength and might.

But how could Chen Hao give these two a chance? With a shout, his figure plunged even faster, streaking a brilliant silver arc through the air. His palm struck down on Young Master Yan’s crown, splattering scarlet everywhere.

What troubled Liming most was the Asura. Judging by the circumstances, it was certain that Asura had occupied the Lunar Gate. The two largest summoned factions had already sparked conflict, and even the rules must be tangled.

You Ziyuan’s inspection revealed nothing suspicious, so he relaxed a little.

“Let’s head back. Once night falls, this place becomes too dangerous,” said Old Ouyang, gently reminding us as we sat there dazed.

Zhang Changzong had been busy with official duties these days, leaving no time to idle in the palace. Unlike Liu Lang, he was determined to achieve great things.

Su Ying bit her lip, shaking her head at him to signal not to worry about her. Yet he averted his gaze, refusing to look at her.

Upon this celestial river, before the unique skills of the Celestial River Navy, with the river’s blessing and millions of years of power accumulated, the three figures now displayed combat strength nearly surpassing the threshold of the Extreme Path, rivaling the true masters.

The beast now noticed Wang Mo and the others, slowly closing its jaws and retreating, vanishing into the mist. Other than the rolling and surging fog, its form was no longer visible.

Yang Chang sighed inwardly, beginning to waver—should he confess under duress, or stay silent unto death?

Just as he marveled at this, two utterly distinct, vast auras suddenly emerged from other directions.

It was indeed simple and brutal—Ye Chuan bit directly into the golden insect egg. The egg was quite elastic, like a giant piece of taffy, though its taste was nothing like taffy, and its odor was unbearably pungent. One bite was like swallowing a ton of garlic, making Ye Chuan’s eyes water uncontrollably.
