The antique shop was sparsely populated. Its interior furnishings appeared quite weathered, yet to an archaeologist, these items might well be priceless treasures.
Shi Quan was not worried that anyone would recognize his face; if someone actually did, it would truly be a miracle.
The one speaking was the eldest, Chen Ri. In his thirties, he was mature and steady. Unlike Chen Xing, he seemed to have been born to different parents—tall, powerful, and lacking any hint of malice. He showed no signs of being a poisoner, which was a testament to his extraordinary cultivation.
Duanmu Rui glanced at both Granny Yun and Crane Elder, opening her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately swallowed her words. Tong Niuer, standing to the side, saw this clearly and felt secretly puzzled.
Young Master Du’s performance was significantly worse; he had failed to score a single point in ten minutes, managing only two assists. This made Ye Shun quite smug, and he kept looking toward Su Nan with an expression of seeking praise, which Su Nan found amusing.
Huan-Ting’s heart suffered a devastating blow. The tears flowing from her eyes washed away the bloodstains on her cheeks and the corners of her mouth, yet she realized one thing: she still had one final responsibility, and that was the fruit of Old Robin Wuno’s exploration.
Charging at the forefront was the very same burly man who had captured Tong Niuer that day. He ranked fourth among the Eight Great Vajras and was closest to the first. Seeing that his leader had been killed, his eyes bulged as if to spray blood, and he fought with a desperate, suicidal intensity.
In the side chamber, Yuan Wei held Nie Youlan and secretly blamed himself. If not for Nie Qiong’s vigilance, he might have been snatched away by the Qiao family without a sound. He could only blame his own carelessness; blinded by passion, he had let his guard down.
He knew that Feng Yun had begun to try to accept him as her leader. Of course, this did not mean Feng Yun was easy to fool; it was mainly because Tang Feng understood young people too well and knew how to cater to their preferences.
The entire venue fell deathly silent. On the altar, several hundred pairs of eyes were fixed squarely on Fang Hao.
The War Ghost threw him high into the air, then slammed him fiercely onto the ground. The zombie’s massive body instantly shattered the sturdy tiles of the city wall.
However, in the end, what felt most substantial to Lei was the extra reward of ten million gold coins announced by the Minister of State. This was specifically arranged by Shagru, considering that Lei was a noble of commoner origin with no family savings. Meanwhile, Wei’s family was awarded two million gold coins in consolation money.
Although it was not certain that he could win both positions in the end, breaking up the iron triangle of Cao Xun, Xu Jipeng, and Ji Chunyan would still be beneficial for Xu Ping to control the situation in the county.
Jerry laughed in a fit of rage, his body soaring into the air as a silver mist shrouded the area. Knowing he could not block this strike, Cari simply signaled for his personal deputy captain to charge in. After that man blocked over a hundred of Jerry’s stabs with his sword, the two began to sandwich Jerry from both sides.
"Heh, forget it. This kind of unreasonable place—it’s too complicated to calculate, I can’t beat you at this game." The opponent grabbed a handful of white stones and placed them on the board. This was an admission of defeat.
Surging flames erupted from the lizard’s mouth, amplified by the lizard-men’s secret arts, rushing toward the forest ahead like a torrential flood and incinerating the massive trees.
A thick pipe was inserted into the solution. Fang Hao guessed that he must have fallen in through this pipe. Watching the pipe pulse and the liquid level slowly drop, it seemed to be extracting the Divine Valley essence from here to supply the gene fusion of the Divine Tree.
"Even if he is mentally challenged, do you have the confidence to beat him?" Mingjian Qingyue looked annoyed.
Coming out of the bathroom, Zhong Zechen saw the room was spotless, with not a trace of Xia Qiqi left, though it had been cleaned up nicely.
But Li Yi had already regained consciousness. His inner primordial spirit gave a violent jolt, shattering the figure and avoiding the influence of the illusion.
I was brought directly back to the main camp to reunite with my team members. Other special task force members also returned one after another. It had been a long time since the sky over the special task camp had seen such a scene of flying vehicles shuttling back and forth and the hurried assembly of the team.
She had only one weapon for self-defense, which could not be revealed unless absolutely necessary. After all, two fists were no match for four hands; with so many opponents, she had to rely on wit.
Compared to Xia Qiqi’s helplessness, Rella was quite comfortable because it could connect to a signal here, and it could finally learn more information.
Li Yi’s expression was grim; his mosquito beasts seemed to have fallen into a state of extremely deep slumber to heal their wounds.
At first, he was very reluctant, reciting countless complaints in his heart, but now he finally understood.
The faces of Yan Shen and Beiming Si turned red, and they turned their heads away in shy embarrassment, yet smiles of anticipation spilled from the corners of their mouths.
Li Yi returned the way he came, bringing his mosquito swarm with him to the huge rock where they had originally set out.
A-Li clutched his arm, kneeling on the ground. The heavenly thunder continued to howl above, and cold gusts of wind whipped wildly, while flying sand and gravel blinded his eyes.
How could he say it? Julia’s depravity and malice were all because he had blinded himself, unable to see people’s true nature. He had played deaf and dumb while Julia committed so many heinous acts.
As the figure in the scroll opened its mouth to inhale, the starlight in the sky began to descend slowly toward the scroll.
Withdrawing his hand, he snorted coldly and cursed, "These rebels on the path of transcendence are simply insane, or perhaps just short-sighted."
The fire alarmed the dozens of people in the Immortal Sect. The Sect Leader and two Perfected Profound Palace consultants came out of seclusion, swearing to capture the two thieves and refine them in a pill furnace. Ji Lingsheng and Zang Xingjie had long prepared their escape; before the sect could even react, they split into two directions and fled over two thousand miles away.
"These people should all be subordinates of the Four Directions Vajra Venerables from the Profound Grade world," Leng Yue Zhuixing said after looking at the people around them.
Furthermore, Medicine King County was inhabited entirely by mortals. The strongest person, the Chief Escort of the Qitian Escort Agency, was only a seventh-stage martial artist, not even having reached the acquired martial realm.
Liu Chenggong delayed his departure because he wanted to eat here and drink with Liu Chenglu to strengthen their bond.
At the very least, while he and Old Bai were putting on an act earlier, he had managed to dispose of quite a few people from the Heavens.
Because they had discovered that this dying stranger was none other than Gu Feiyun, who should have died under Ximen Chuixue’s sword many years ago.
"By the way, send a few probes to follow them and see where this force is hiding," Zhou Xin instructed. Then, he closed the image on the screen, filled with many doubts.
"After this incident, Xuanyuan’s identity shouldn’t be hard to guess, right?" the fatty countered. Since Xuanyuan Wuxue was being hunted by the Seven-Trick Hall with such a massive mobilization, it must be related to the internal strife of the Seven-Trick Hall back then.
