Volume 1, Chapter 29: Government Agents Launch Massive Arrests of Able-bodied Refugees and Women!

The old physician was surprised to learn that his patient was a scholar, and his estimation of the man rose accordingly. After dismissing the previous patient, he looked upon this group with a gentler expression.

"Place him on the couch," the physician said, glancing at the patient and directing the family to lay him down.

The Great Ape King stood about one meter and seventy centimeters tall. Compared to the many ape kings that had arrived last night, it likely held a position in the upper-middle tier of its tribe.

Xu Yifei, unaware of what the netizens were saying, turned to look, and Wan Zining pointed out a specific comment for her to read.

No one knew just how formidable the mother-son malevolent spirits had become after two months of changes. If they attempted to deal with them using their previous strategies, it would surely lead to catastrophic losses; it was even possible that all nine of them would be wiped out.

"Alright, the two of you, stop just talking and have some fruit," Lin Jiuge said as he watched them.

Shen Changqing’s predecessor had been a probationary demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, the lowest rank among all demon slayers.

Just as the group stood there in confusion, Mo Qiyuan suddenly drew the peach-wood sword from his back, pressed his index finger to the center of his brow, and then slapped it against the wooden sword.

Seeing that he was about to speak and clearly refusing to listen, she flew into a rage. "Follow the doctor's orders!" she roared, then stood up abruptly, stormed out, and glared fiercely at the hurrying Yuan Xiu as she passed.

The white-haired man waved his hand to silence him. He turned his wheelchair around; his face and lips were as pale as the ghastly mask covering most of his features.

If those mechanical police knew where she had gone, then perhaps Wen Jian could follow that same path to find her.

Plant spirits are fragile. Indigo, before reaching the fourth rank, certainly could not be allowed to participate in combat; if it were injured, it would be a major problem.

Chen Qingzhi waved his folding fan to disperse the white mist. Li Muye and the others looked on to see Jiao Genjingchun lying on the stone platform, his hair completely singed away, in a state of utter wretchedness. Smoke still curled from his body, and he was dazed and battered, having lost eight of his ten lives. If Chen Qingzhi were to strike him with one more blade now, he would be completely defenseless.

Thus, this "City-Wall Mushroom" must have been discovered by a practitioner who understood the profound mysteries of Daoism and the secrets of spiritual energy. How could an ordinary person grasp its true wonder? It was a great treasure brimming with dense spiritual energy, and it was not impossible that a descendant of the Medicine King, having mastered the art of sensing spiritual energy, had inherited it through their master's lineage.

Yi frowned. He had never considered these questions before. He realized that these were the very same problems he had encountered in the Land of Death. Specifically, the suicide—it was precisely because he did not know how to survive that he had made such a choice.

A few days later, Fu arrived at Mount Zhongnan. To his great surprise, Jie and Qiong returned with her. As Yi looked at his own grandson, he could not help but think of Ji. Fu and Ji indeed looked very much alike, but their personalities were different; Ji was more composed, while Fu possessed a temperament much like Die’s.

Just as I expected, he killed Su Luanzi to establish his own authority and demonstrate his loyalty before the Demon Lord.

Yuan Chen had other considerations in sending Su Yu to the Heavenly Sword Palace. He had originally thought that after Su Yu ascended to the rank of Heavenly Sovereign, the accumulation of cold poison in her body would decrease. However, while refining Jiang Yiyun's physical body with her, Yuan Chen discovered that her condition seemed even more severe than he had anticipated.

Diana looked through the railing, following Li Muye excitedly to the main gate, only to be unexpectedly blocked there.

Zheng Tonghui slowly opened his eyes and took in the situation in the interrogation room, instantly understanding what had transpired. He was a veteran with a wealth of professional experience, and though his time was running out, his mind remained sharp.
