Volume 1, Chapter 65: The Bride's Reliance

Hearing this, Mufeng glanced at Zuo Baining, who returned a smile. If possible, he would also have liked to travel alongside Mufeng, as having such a powerful master greatly increased their chances of success.

Constantly refining oneself, making up for shortcomings in writing, correcting mistakes where they exist and encouraging oneself where they do not, in order to present fellow Daoists with more brilliant and wondrous tales, and to unfold a grander and more vast fantasy world—this is the sole wish of Dongding, and nothing more.

As soon as Su Xianyu spoke these words, everyone wore expressions of utter disbelief. Even Xiao Yurou looked at the intoxicated scholar with a completely different gaze.

Drenched in blood, three Shadow Guards formed a triangular formation to protect the mysterious figure. As members of the most enigmatic organization on Earth—the Bloody Society—they did not disgrace their name. Indeed, covered entirely in blood yet still striving to the utmost of their abilities to protect their master, they were truly loyal hounds.

All of this happened cleanly and decisively without a moment's hesitation, as effortlessly as if Jiu Jingtian were simply reaching out to take something.

After giving instructions to the procurement department, Li Hao exercised his buyout privilege to purchase the Shangri-La Hotel, located at No. 33 Fucheng Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, designating it as the venue for the company's annual gala.

During the wait for the elevator and the subsequent ride, Deputy General Manager Huang Yiyan briefly introduced the company's scale of development, clothing positioning, and other related matters.

"Get lost!" The battle blade in his hand slashed fiercely toward Campbell. Having long learned from the intelligence sent back by Mining that the strongest person in this outpost was a fifth-rank swordsman, Thorin did not hesitate in the least. Skipping any probing maneuvers, he launched a full-power attack right from the start.

Seeming to sense the inner tremor and fear within the blood-robed figure, the slightly pale-faced black-robed man paused his words, focusing his gaze straight ahead to look directly at his most proud demon general by his side, before reaching out to lift him gently up from his ethereal stance.

"Hehe, well then... let this prince see what you are truly made of," Mocha said coldly, his eyes instantly suffused with blood, transforming into pools of scarlet.

"So that's how it is. After twists and turns, you're finally together. It really wasn't easy for the two of you. I hope from now on it's all sweetness after the bitterness." Seeing the two of them together, Du Feng was genuinely happy for them.

Qibao could not help but roll his eyes, because the surrounding environment stank to high heaven.

"Marshal, what should we do now? Should we temporarily abandon our original mission and escort King Falcon and the others back?" the major general asked excitedly.

Captain Zhang said, "The deceased is a guest residing here, and the killer is inside this room." As he spoke, he pointed directly at the door in front of him.

"Despicable!" It didn't matter that Jian Yan had no clothes to change into, but Wanqing was different. Her parents were simply too outrageous to treat an innocent young woman this way.

Although this young Huaxia man was an Eastern esper and possessed strength superior to his own, Avery did not believe he could handle the experts at Taylor's disposal.

I was also extremely nervous. Ever since entering the Underworld, every event I encountered had grown more bizarre than the last, and the battles more intense. To this day, I dared not imagine what kind of enemy was once again visible before my eyes.

Old Tang also snapped to his senses; if Jiang Liming was in Hong Kong, we had to go find him immediately. After all, the Sect Master's Jade Seal was in his hands, and I was equally eager to know what secrets were hidden within it.

In truth, Qin Yongqi was entirely blameless in this matter; instead, he had indirectly helped. The reason Qiu Qianjian was angry with Qin Yongqi as well was his frustration that Qin had not revealed the truth sooner.

Even more fatal was that the basement was completely empty; where were there any traces of Fu Qiang and Wu Tingting?

Pity the timing was wrong—he was already a dead man. No matter how many correct words Huyuan spoke, he would still be regarded as a fool. Since he wanted to know whether the opponent was dead or alive, all he had to do was step over and check their breath or pulse; insisting on uttering such useless words was merely a waste of everyone's time.

Instantly, the heavenly thunder above the sky grew restless. Moments later, several bolts of heavenly thunder crashed down onto Han Ming's body. However, after a brief sensation of numbness, Han Ming returned to normal, and the pale-yellow halo around his body appeared once more.

With him secretly casting spells nearby, everything that had happened before felt to Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao like the blink of an eye. The two of them failed to notice anything amiss at all, and simply picked up their previous conversation, sighing heavily for a long while before ultimately resorting to drinking wine until the moon hung high in the center of the sky, at which point they returned to their cave dwelling together.

Bi Yu instinctively took a few more steps back until her waist pressed against the edge of the stone table, feeling her entire body stiffen, her lowered gaze coming to rest upon the tips of her shoes.

"If you don't kill me now, as long as I live, sooner or later I will kill you with my own hands," Flying Snake screamed. Her purpose in saying this was none other than to beg for a quick death.

"Lin Yi and I have decided that this time we return, we won't go back; we are going to develop our careers domestically." Sun Xiuxiu glanced at Lin Yi and said to Lin Yue and Bai Qianqian.

However, if Nezha were not released, it would inevitably offend Primeval Lord of Heaven. Nezha was not the murderer of the East Sea Dragon King, and to offend Primeval Lord of Heaven over such a trivial matter truly seemed somewhat not worthwhile.
