Volume 1, Chapter 36: Do Not Speak of This to Outsiders

With Ao Lie joining Bai Shijing, the three half-step Xiantian experts under Fei Wuji were no longer a threat. Furthermore, by having Gu Qingzhou pin down Fei Wuji, and at the critical moment, unleashing the supernatural art of Fate Interception, Jia Zhen would likewise cease to be a threat to him.

He could not help but cast a surprised look at Sha Tonghai, inwardly cursing his own carelessness. Had it not been for the peerless nature of his Ghost Shadow Traceless movement technique, he likely would have fallen victim to this scoundrel’s scheme.

How could Xiao Rang possibly reveal to Ao Li that he had suppressed the demon soldiers using soul pressure? If he let him see through him at a single glance, it would be all over. By maintaining this air of mystery, he would at least instill some doubt in Ao Li, ensuring he wouldn't be so passive in the future.

Mo Yue and Cao Riben nodded in agreement. Mo Yue said little else; she knew that as an ordinary person, following me would only make her a burden, yet the deep reluctance in her eyes was impossible to mask.

The situation was dire! Usubike had no time to figure out where this army had come from; he only knew for certain that it could not possibly be from the Samnite tribal alliance.

If Chang Guanglin lacked a backbone and merely surrendered to Fei Wuji at every turn, he might as well give up on contemplating the unity of heaven and man or pursuing the martial path altogether, and simply bash his brains out.

He could not afford to give Ye Zhenfeng even the slightest opportunity to mention that he possessed the Yin Soul Ginseng. After all, he was not a nobody on this continent, and given Ye Zhenfeng’s status, a quick inquiry at the Demon Suppression Sect would reveal his identity, which would lead to immense trouble for him.

However, upon seeing Jiang Yin, this plain, unadorned appearance alone was enough to make them feel like smashing their phones.

Tie Wuqing stared at Protector Li with a calm expression, though his mind was racing with rapid calculations. He subconsciously glanced again at Xiao Rang’s composed and steady expression, suddenly recalling Xiao Rang’s claim to being the world’s greatest alchemist and array master. In that instant, he realized what Xiao Rang’s next move would be.

Outside the cell, Zhong Qing ceased her resistance and allowed the men to escort her to the grand hall. The room was filled with a dazzling golden glow, displaying endless luxury.

She had asked Zhao Qian about it before, but he only claimed it was a method taught to him by Lin Yixiao and would say nothing more. Lately, Zhao Qian had always given her an unfathomable impression. She simply attributed it to the magical effects of what Lin Yixiao had taught him, which left Xie Xiang itching with curiosity, forcing her to demand he hand over the method, yet Zhao Qian never revealed it.

Even though the formula for the peak-grade Spirit Gathering Pill had been tested and proven, this world lacked precision instruments, so the specific temperature and timing of the flames had to rely entirely on Xia Ruojin’s own intuition.

Ling Xu saw through their thoughts and was not annoyed; after all, once the item was given to them, how they handled it was their own business. Besides, he didn't care about the loss of a few peak-grade pills.

Chen Xi also felt that he was very obedient. Knowing his personality, he found him quite agreeable; although he spoke little, he was a man of action.

Suo Yunfei, Zhao Qian, Shangguan Jing, and Situ Zhe all nodded, clearly in agreement with what Yan Yu had said.

If only he had possessed this Ghost Fire Divine Bow when he fought Dugu Zheng earlier; with a single arrow, how could the man have escaped?

Feng Li regained his composure and coughed twice to ease his self-consciousness, saying, "I just checked Young Master Ao Chi's pulse; I estimate he will recover within two days."

A-Zhen stepped forward to a large man and spoke a few brief words. The man glanced at the group with curiosity before walking into the stone house. A-Zhen did not wait with the others and left first.

A poor soul like her could not afford to raise such a thing, and she still had to research arrays, learn artifact forging, and cultivate her body. Where would she find the time to raise this Vermillion Bird egg?

However, her talent might truly be abysmal. After cultivating for a week, she had gained nothing but numb legs and a hungry stomach.

The voice stopped abruptly, because not long before, Zhan Shifang had already spoken. She had not been completely unconscious at the time and still retained memories of certain events—for instance, that kiss.

"Fine, go contact your sect leader first and have him cede your peak-grade mineral vein to us," Qin Yu said.

When Bian Xuedao entered the private room, Shan Rao was not holding his arm, but everyone could tell from their expressions, distance, and gait that they were a couple.

Yin Manqing was very firm in her decision to keep her job. Even if the end result was exactly as Father Shen had predicted and she was forced to choose one, she would choose her work without the slightest hesitation.

He woke up again at noon. After asking Lion about the progress of the program and learning that it would be finished by the end of the afternoon, he left the computer room.

With that, the Azure Emperor Sword flew from his hand once more. Azure sword radiance erupted across the heavens and earth. An overwhelming sword intent swept forth.

It was too cruel. The Clark elite sensed something, and the voice of the Hidden Shadow came through the invisible earpiece he had been wearing in his ear all along.

With a soft "bang," the door was pulled shut, and the smile on Ji Yan’s face vanished instantly, replaced by deep anxiety. The DYM team was a signature powerhouse in the LPL; aside from the SHD team, almost no other team could gain even the slightest advantage against this formidable squad.

Among them, the Forest Team—whether due to incredible luck or some other reason—faced a succession of teams whose strength was pitifully weak, allowing them to win easily and miraculously advance to the Round of 16.

The road leading out of the imperial palace was inevitably somewhat bumpy, but as the carriage traveled further from the palace and closer to the bustling streets, flashes of chaotic scenes began to flood into Hua Yueman’s sight.

Gu Zhizhi’s gaze had been fixed on Lin Ruifeng the entire time, so she did not see me. I gave a faint smile and lowered my head.

Ru Yi first visited a few reputable pharmacies in town. She had assumed that seeking out larger establishments would make it easier to sell, but she never expected that as soon as she walked through the door and stated her intentions...

The next moment, the crimson giant dragon and the azure sword in Yan Hong’s hand collided, the resulting massive waves causing the entire lava lake to churn violently.

He located the equipment and gave Qiu Yihan a standard first-aid kit. He himself was fully armed; carrying dozens of kilograms of weight had no effect on him, a feat of strength that most ordinary people could not replicate.

Third Master Cao shook his head, seemingly just as baffled. I chuckled inwardly; it appeared Third Master Cao had never encountered a target who was impotent during a spell-casting ritual. After a long silence, Third Master Cao sighed and was the first to leave the room. The father-in-law and mother-in-law hurried out after him, whispering to each other.

Zhou Nanchu turned his attention to the jailer and the prison guards. These men naturally dared not resist; besides, managing the prison was their job anyway. They hurriedly left the wine table and emerged from the guardroom, reeking of alcohol as they shoved the suspects into their cells.
