Chapter 27: Now That’s Where You’re Wrong

In the depths of night, Qiu Yu Rou gradually regained consciousness, and recalling what had happened before nearly drove her mad. Terror seized her, and she let out a piercing scream.

Dong Da Yong was lying cold on the floor, stabbed a dozen times, and the knife was in her hand.

Terrified, she screamed again, threw the knife away in panic, and scrambled out, crawling and stumbling.

Outside the door, two of Dong Da Yong’s underlings were chatting idly. When they saw her rush out, they were momentarily stunned, then…

In the spacious private booth on the second floor, Jiang Yu Fei glanced down at the hall below, her brows tightly furrowed, the disgust on her face intensifying.

“It will. It will make you remember for the rest of your life.” Anger blazed in An Ya’s eyes, and she could barely restrain herself from acting. This bastard was indeed no good; when she got back and saw Sister Yu Fei, she’d be sure to expose him in front of her.

Very few people knew about “Immortal’s Lure,” that slow-acting poison. Though Wang Zi Ran was clever, Xiao Huang Yu was still curious how he had learned of it.

Rules at Qi Yun Temple were strict, and there were many forbidden places. Disciples were barred from entering, except for the dungeon and certain confidential areas. The Sword Grave was the only place where even approaching its entrance was considered a violation of the rules.

Early the next morning, before six, Zhao Li rose with his son. They had no choice; their home was far away. Li Zheng Yan and his group slept until seven, then got up to brush their teeth and wash their faces. The scene of a father dressing his child was adorably broadcast.

“Don’t come near me, I beg you, don’t come near… I was wrong, please don’t…” Wu Ping sobbed, tears streaming, pleading desperately. Beneath her, a layer of fluid had formed; as she struggled to retreat, she kept slipping.

Because the martial world of Central Plains had angered the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan decided to strike at the greatest religious sect, the Quanzhen Sect.

To sit directly below Gucci’s seat indicated this person held an extremely high position in the Devouring Gate. The sect had three chief guardians. The elder speaking was the guardian of the Second Hall, named Mu Ren, one of the three great protectors.

“I want to learn martial arts here as well,” Wei Qing Er began to create opportunities to meet Xiao Jian.

They were marching, surrounded by troops, and not far from Chu Yi’s carriage. With Chu Yi’s cultivation, Tong Guan knew well that any conversation between them would scarcely escape his notice.

Though the chances of turning Que Jue were slim, the Grand Revered One of the Beast World, Beast Ancestor, still wished to try. If successful, it could avert a war and spare many young men from needless casualties.

At last, Lin Hao believed what the golden dragon had told him. Yet a new question arose: what was the truth of his body?

As usual, they each picked up one item, then leisurely went on to slay the second creature.

“Stop flattering, don’t wander off, wait for my return.” Yue Qian Chou slipped into the earth and vanished… The world-famous Treasure Bowl of the Merchants’ Guild had lost its former glory. Though the ruins of its destruction had been cleared away, it would take time for the Treasure Bowl to recover its vitality.

Where they were, mountains and rivers, green trees and wooden cabins surrounded them. It was certainly no divine mountain. The Yin Nine Nether avatar had exhausted herself searching the divine mountain for her, all in vain. Had she known the truth, she would have been furious enough to spit blood.

Brandishing his blade, Lin Hao struck without hesitation. But when he turned and saw those brown-gold eyes, his mind froze with a buzz. In the next moment, his chaotic consciousness was dragged completely into darkness beneath a shroud of black shadow.

※※※ The halftime break was brief. Both teams’ players returned to the pitch. The slightly quiet Chiefs Stadium suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers, as fans of both home and away sides rallied support for their respective teams.
