Volume One, Chapter 52: Mastery Over All Desires

The traffic management department and police swiftly reviewed surveillance footage from key intersections across the city.

A strange, ethereal glint of a blade flickered silently through the air. The Eagle Wolf King suddenly recoiled, shouting something in terror and disbelief.

Thus, after observing for a while, the few Chu Kingdom players paid no further attention and did not report any anomalies to higher authorities; instead, they continued running forward.

Other spectral black dragons lunged during this time, but the result was always the same—no matter how they crashed, they could not break through the step-by-step lotus protective shield.

“Don’t impose what you’ve seen elsewhere onto our situation. It’s neither that complicated nor troublesome here. Just take it back directly.”

“It would be best to find out exactly how those monks died!” Niu Fendou thought to himself during the descent.

The Turkic army broke camp overnight, marching in vast, silent waves toward Daliang.

In the game, Miao Jiu’er had already reached level 52, while Dantai Jingning had advanced to level 54.

Cai Han and the others were drawn to the sword-marked holes left from the previous battle, confirming Ye Yushi’s words were true. Ye Yushi, meanwhile, rolled his eyes and feigned concern.

No one knew what awaited in the Kunlun Celestial Cave. Zhou Shan resolved that his younger siblings must learn to stand on their own.

A ‘Dragonfly’ aircraft, escorted by a squadron of space fighters, descended steadily into the courtyard of the Zhou family estate.

One afternoon in mid-July, just after two o’clock, Wang Lifang came to find Zhao Hui, as they had agreed to spend the afternoon playing at Li Ting’s home.

When Mozi Li received the Heavenly Lord’s decree, he showed no immediate reaction. This upheaval had wreaked havoc in the mortal realm and surely affected the celestial realm as well. He had long anticipated that the Heavenly Lord would seize this opportunity to summon him back to Jiugo to take charge.

“Sister-in-law, you just didn’t see my big brother’s momentum. He went straight up and slapped that guy Pei Dong! Tsk tsk tsk... I was stunned at the time. So powerful, so commanding!” Dou Bing rambled excitedly.

“This… this is a purple crystal card! The highest-level identity card,” the attendant exclaimed in surprise. With this card, one could purchase clothing unconditionally and even withdraw cash. Its significance was evident.

“Damn it, if you don’t want to do it, ask your two uncles if they’re willing to take on this job!” Old Tan said with displeasure, casting a sidelong glance.

As they spoke, the two entered the city, which was already under martial law. Soldiers patrolled the streets. After walking a while, they encountered Cheng Huailiang, who was leading a house-to-house search.

With this strike, Chen Yun regained consciousness, the restlessness draining away, replaced by an endless wave of pain.

“Today I issued a check in error. Please void that check number immediately!” Prince Wumu commanded.

In the hospital, Mei Yu had just undergone surgery. Her face was wrapped in thick gauze, leaving only her beautiful eyes visible.

“Commander, shall we...?” The man, sensing the old man’s overwhelming aura, was inwardly alarmed. He raised his hand and made a slitting-throat gesture.

Chu Tian glanced naturally to his left at her, then to his right at him. Their feigned calmness made him want to laugh, but the smile only faintly touched the corners of his slightly narrowed eyes and shimmered briefly in his deep brown pupils before vanishing without a trace.

At that moment, even the guards outside who were furiously tormenting someone slowed their movements. They stared in surprise at the young master, usually a cruel tormentor, sitting elegantly at the piano.
