Volume 1, Chapter 22: I Will Surely Appear

Liu Muzhi’s expression was somewhat strange, as though he wanted to speak but could not bring himself to do so. Wei Jie found this rather baffling. It was unlike him. Was there really something Liu Muzhi found difficult to say?

The swan, whose heart had been boiling with excitement only moments before, suddenly felt an icy chill from head to toe. Her trademark coquettish smile vanished at once, and her face turned deathly pale.

“Thank you for the Jade Emperor’s gracious gift.” Zhenyuan smiled faintly, bowed to Xuanyuan, then sat cross-legged in midair and began absorbing the rich divine aura.

When Wei Jie said the word “please,” he deliberately put extra emphasis on it. This left Wang Zhen’e and Liu Muzhi exchanging puzzled glances.

“Is it really that delicious? Isn’t it poop?” the gluttonous Sixth Princess finally asked, unable to contain her curiosity.

“Boss, get back to the base immediately. Something serious has happened.” The instant the call connected, Li Jiahao shouted urgently over the phone, before Lei could even say a word.

“You old bastard, you’ll pay for this.” Zhang Yi angrily typed out the message and sent it.

At that moment, a series of beeps rang out in the room. The videophone was ringing.

Seeing that all the disciples had withdrawn, Zhenyuan summoned his life-bound magical treasure, the Blazing Fire Fan, and placed it at the center of the formation.

He went straight to a secret room beside the operations room in the front courtyard. By the time he arrived, Xu Haodong, Zhang Ruofei, Yang Haotian, and Niu Dagen were all already there.

The soldiers believed him, but Chen Ping, Su An, and the others clearly did not. They regarded Yin Xu with expressions of doubt and suspicion.

Sixty-five thousand Chu soldiers poured out of Pengcheng and marched toward Hebei, preparing to rescue Julu, the Zhao capital besieged by Qin forces. Lord Pei, Liu Bang, also led more than twenty thousand of his own troops westward. Nearly all of Chu’s military strength had been committed to the campaign—it was nothing short of a nationwide mobilization.

Sure enough, in the next instant, Yue Chan’s body was sent flying backward. At the same time, she gently swept out her jade hand and struck the Celestial River, which was filled with the power of curses and lightning.

Yin Xu wanted to get up and go outside to see what was happening, but the slightest movement sent waves of agony through his left shoulder and arm. When he lifted the covers, he saw that the white bandages wrapped around his wound were stained with fresh blood.

How many of the companies that owned property here could possibly be short of money? Almost none. By the requirements of this task, it would have been impossible for an ordinary person to achieve the objective. Sanford, however, had a chance, because he owned one of the buildings.

When they heard the number, everyone present except Jian Wushuang cried out in astonishment.

Simon picked up a broom and began cleaning the room. He had never realized that his powers of observation had, at times, surpassed those of the other Dark Apostles.

When the journey of life is about to end, the human body mobilizes its remaining potential in one final struggle against death. All the chemical energy not yet exhausted within the cells is released at once, supplying the organs and tissues.

“Besides, Xiuer, have you forgotten our family’s history?” Sima Xiu turned around and spoke sternly to Sima Xiu.

When everyone saw Leo leave, their expressions varied. The reason they had been driven to such an extreme was all because of Leo.

He had never fully recovered in the first place. The exertion just now had left him with only a sliver of source power. Otherwise, Li Wei would have opened a portal directly and sent the badly wounded beast warriors back to recover.

Not long ago, he had publicly humiliated the Ji family and injured their Third Ancestor. What could they possibly want with him now?

Cultivators did not need much sleep. Even Guizang could often go two or three days without closing his eyes. However, the brother and sister had broken through one realm after another in quick succession, which had consumed a great deal of their mental energy. Since the forest was now completely safe, they both chose to rest for the night.

The atmosphere in the bar suddenly relaxed, and everyone returned to their seats and began drinking again.

That was why He Youfa suddenly found Gao Zheng’s identity rather mysterious. He suspected that Gao Zheng was either a member of some assassin organization or a former operative from a special forces unit.

Wang Xika imagined what it would be like to engage them in aerial combat. Perhaps you could shoot the phoenix down with a machine gun, but all that would accomplish was turning it back into an egg. Shoot it down ten times, and it could revive ten times. But if it shot you down, you would be finished—and so would your aircraft.

Yan Qiyun gave a sinister chuckle and crept up the stairs without making the slightest sound. He could also sense that the teahouse had no lights on, which gave him an obvious advantage.

After informing the people at the training ground, the guard slipped back and resumed dozing. The selected individuals gradually made their way toward Li Wei and the others, while the barbarians who had not been chosen also began coming over.

Unexpectedly, he discovered that one of his companions, dressed like an assassin, was chasing Katarina across the rooftop.

A terrifying cyan hurricane suddenly emerged from within the enormous purple-gold Rasengan. It then burst straight through the sphere and began swirling around it.

There were actually seventy-two points. This truly was a rather enormous city. Still, such a small amount of merit meant nothing to Adam. The trial had only just begun, and there would be many opportunities to earn merit in the future.

“There are quite a lot of materials. If you’re not in a hurry, we can go sit over there for a while.” Chu Yue looked delighted.

Most people breathed a sigh of relief. It was somewhat unrealistic for someone at the Martial Soul Realm to climb any higher, but at last, he had finally stopped.

After all, Taijia had not been satisfied with Jian Qiuluo’s handling of the matter last time. Even if Taijia had been in his position, he might not have dealt with it better—but he was still displeased and wanted revenge for that humiliation. What could Jian Qiuluo do about it?

Pink Nightfall was delighted. She quickly selected Chu Yue’s character and sent him an invitation to join the guild. Then she selected Zhao Xueqian and sent her an invitation as well.

Hearing this, Startrail found it even more peculiar. Then she saw Yigelinna lead her to the right side of the end of the sixth floor. With a press of her right hand, a hidden door slowly opened.

Although the metal liquid was labeled “flexible,” it was still far denser than ordinary metal. As a result, all kinds of equipment floated upon its surface.

Heavy snow whirled through the air, and mist spread across the vast surface of the lake. The closer Ji Zaikang and the other two drew to the restaurant, the more excited they became.

Looking at his hands, no longer childish but now filled with strength, the youth curled his lips into a cold smile.

But this was not the end. Otherwise, I would not be here telling all of you these unbelievable tales.

Yet he discovered that before he had even fully descended, the general’s face had already stiffened, while even the madam wore a strange expression.

He and she were no longer connected. He had no reason to remain here anymore. Just as he had said: forget him and begin everything anew?
