Volume One, Chapter 32: Potential Risks

Caroline’s tone was harsh and unfriendly. She accepted this wager solely to prove herself, and if anyone interfered, they would be her enemy. In a sense, when someone no longer acknowledges you, yet you still rely on another’s name, that in itself is a disgrace.

Feng Yao was slightly stunned; she only knew that Dishi was deeply attached to Wannian, but she had no idea that her prejudice against Liu Ye ran so deep.

Hearing this, Lv Qiushi was at a loss for words. Huifa’s words starkly contradicted Mingxin’s actions, leaving him uncertain whether he should trust Huifa.

The Zhou family seemed wary of a sudden strike from the three families and had many warriors at home. Aside from the casualties from the earlier attack, over forty Sword Emperors and seventy or eighty Sword Sovereigns surged out, a testament to the strength of the Zhou clan.

The light from the ten Earth Fiend artifacts continued to converge upon the luminous bridge, solidifying it further. Everyone’s expressions were calm as they watched silently, yet inside, their hearts stirred with excitement, anticipation, and a trace of fear of the unknown.

These monsters were very high level, nearly at level 90, and their strength was formidable.

However, Feng Li seemed to ignore this, pouring endless Dao power into the Xuan Emperor battle armor, doing his utmost to activate it to its fullest defensive potential.

The Midnight Demon Wolf sneered coldly. “Hmph, calamity! Calamity, my foot! Whether it’s my business or not, you’ve offended our boss’s family and won’t die a pleasant death. If you beg for mercy now, maybe you can keep your body intact. Hahaha...” it laughed.

Apart from being unable to assume human form, these creatures resembled human-like races in appearance and possessed equally profound intelligence. Though they couldn’t speak, they could communicate using divine mind transmission, ensuring seamless interaction.

Yi Chuan opened the system to check the map. The two were now walking eastward in parallel, about two kilometers from the misty forest’s edge—gradually moving away from the Boiling Water River and closer to Tianyi City.

“Rena should be able to handle that mess for me...” Yet, without reason, he began to worry, unsure if his wife, who had silently supported him all along, could bear such a burden. He also feared that any one of them might encounter danger. His thoughts tangled, leaving his mind restless.

Douglas returned to the barracks. The soldiers could clearly sense that the excellent leader was in a bad mood, so no one disturbed him, intending to let him be for the entire night. Yet, before anyone interfered, he took action himself.

Ye Tianling and Shui Xin’er paid no mind to his move, assuming it was just the aftereffects of traveling nonstop.

When soldiers come, soldiers block them; when water flows, it is often stones that stop it.

Song Qing saw I agreed, then returned to the room, fetched two decks of playing cards, and placed them on the dining table in the living room. After finding a seat, she began to shuffle.

When the music started again, the previously noisy hall instantly fell silent. Everyone knew that the start of this music marked the beginning of another performance.

“I saw it by accident when my friend and I went out, so I took a photo!” I told a poorly crafted lie, hoping Lin Yue’s attention would focus on the picture and not my deception.

“Activate.” Naturally, Yi Chuan wanted to verify this himself. Without hesitation, he confirmed Dong’er’s option in his mind.

Feguli dribbled swiftly, bypassing two opponents before passing the ball to forward Soldado. Soldado was held off by Papastathopoulos and had no chance to turn. Knowing this attack was fleeting, he didn’t struggle but decisively passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area.

However, Li Wei considered that Liverpool would face Real Madrid the next evening. The players needed calm rest, not an intense match, and thus politely declined Atletico Madrid’s suggestion.

The assassins dared not speak further with Yong Yule. They immediately charged at him, swords raised.

“Why hasn’t the bridal sedan come yet?” Tianjin, already dressed in her wedding attire, looked out over the long street.

The match time passed bit by bit, but neither Liverpool nor Tottenham Hotspur could score.

Nie Wutian glanced at her, sighed, shook his head, and fell silent. He looked ahead again. The radiant wheel behind Chi Wuji trembled slightly. Chi Wuji did not move; instead, Zhuge Jinghong was forcibly teleported before Chi Wuji by an invisible force, still just a foot away.

“Tianjin, you can’t beat me. Come with me.” Xie Yan blocked her spear with his sword. The wind swept across his forehead, stirring the strands before his eyes.

What truly transpired that night, as Bai Heming said, could only be understood intuitively, not described in words.

But Butt’s performance was not outstanding—only commendable enough to be a starting goalkeeper on a strong team. Yet for a powerhouse like Bayern Munich, his qualifications as a goalkeeper seemed insufficient.
