Chapter 71: Entering the Halls

Siyao tiptoed her way to work.

The next round of recording would be a cut from thirty to twenty-two contestants.

With fewer participants, there were fewer unpredictable factors, but the scriptwriter still knocked on the door from time to time, dropping hints about the upcoming elimination round.

The next episode would feature a random-draw elimination contest; anyone could be sent home, even Xiao Nan—everyone except for Bai Yu.

Because in the episode after that, his perfect...

Even if he could harden his heart and refuse to kneel before the Flame God Hall, how could he reject so many people from the Flame God Continent?

A moment later, Song Haochen nodded in great satisfaction and said, “Not bad, you’ve been obedient and eaten everything.”

“If I may hazard a guess, should your esteemed father learn of your misfortune, he would not let it rest. He would surely declare war on the evil god.

Why not abandon the struggle for the great path altogether and simply use the power of origin to suppress origin? I refuse to believe that the mighty Huang-rank essence of Manyan Lietang can’t overpower a Tianjin rank.”

What she didn’t know was that, due to his negligence, she would, for a very long time to come, bring Ye Tian a calamity so disastrous it would nearly destroy him.

Only now did he realize that compared to his alchemy, Ling Li’s combat prowess was even greater. Not even the Ox Guardian of the Xuanming Hall could handle him, proving that Ling Li’s fighting strength was among the very best in the entire Primordial Realm.

Yet at this moment, Lu Yaoyang’s tense face suddenly twisted into a cold, sinister grin. The sight sent a foreboding chill through Ling Li.

Only then did the German fleet commander realize he’d been duped. He hastily ordered a retreat and called for support from the heavy battleships in the harbor.

A bear’s roar thundered across mountains and rivers for ten thousand miles. In that instant, the entire Myriad Venom Marsh responded with a violent resonance.

The soldiers carried a mighty wooden beam, ramming it hard against the grand, lavish gates of Golden Dragon City—the Holy Gate.

“No, I won’t eat it!” Hong Lian shook her head fiercely. Eat a three-tailed beast? She’d have to be desperate for death.

When the police searched the area, they found the bodies in a nearby grove not far from the car crash. The scene terrified everyone who entered—the victims had been carved up with knives, stripped to the bone. I’d originally planned to have someone take care of it at the hospital, but I never expected things to turn out like this.

The weather in the capital was also scorching, but it seemed cooler inside the residence. Otherwise, Old Master Zhao wouldn’t be so relaxed, fishing in the garden at this hour.

Le Tian’s face was grim, worry flickering in his large eyes. If such a flaw truly existed, how would he ever conquer the stars and the sea?

Yu Yan took first place, Aristode second, so Bray received two crates of gold coins this time. Thunder Dragon counted—each crate held about five thousand coins, so he earned ten thousand gold in total.

Ling Siyao watched as her teammates were about to be surrounded and turned into sieves by the enemy, and silently lit a candle for them in her heart.

Lying on the barren mountainside, Yu Yan couldn’t sleep; bored, he swallowed a few magic crystals to recharge his mana. As a lower platinum rank, turning the golden peak-level Misere was considered a downgrade, so the magic expenditure was minor—he could maintain that form for ten days or half a month even without restoring his mana.

Red Dragon and Thunder Dragon nearly stumbled. Right, why hadn’t any dragon thought of such a simple idea before? But was this theory really true? If it was, wouldn’t the entire Dragon-Slaying Organization have committed collective suicide by now?

It really was a troubling problem. She didn’t want to reveal the Ji family prematurely. Was the old fox trying to make her retreat in discouragement? She looked at the other side, seeing the knowing look on his face, her own expression caught in a tangle.

Though the back entrance was farther from the heart than the front, all higher beings had a set of very convenient “highways” inside their bodies.

This was a treasure bestowed by Lord Demon Sovereign, forged from a hundred-percent pure Chrono-Celestial Crystal. There was only one such artifact in the entire Illusory Realm—a truly priceless rarity.
