Volume One, Chapter 54: Cheng Muyan Would Rather Die Than Live!

Hearing the voice of the Chaotic Demon Monarch grow increasingly gloomy, I knew nothing good could come of it. However, I was pinned down and simply could not break away.

"I just wanted to dry my hair; being all damp like this is very uncomfortable," Lin Xiyao said, giving Yuexiu a sideways glance with a trace of annoyance.

Seeing the two of them approach, Icarisa hurriedly stepped forward to lend a hand, but was politely declined by Audenery's words, "I'll handle it." Come to think of it, the other party likely had more than one intention behind that... So she simply gave up, as dampening someone else's enthusiasm was never a pleasant thing.

No, I must return; the matters there remain unresolved, and I cannot linger here in a soul state.

When the taverns were first established, no one paid much attention to them. But as time passed, some envious disciples of the Alchemy Sect cast their greedy hands upon these establishments, covertly beginning to levy various arbitrary fees.

"..." After listening to Suguli's words, the anger on Moss's face sparked by Suguli's submissive attitude still lingered, but the rage surging within his heart had already vanished like a deflated balloon.

Everything at home was just as it had been when he left, even the dishes on the table were his absolute favorites, yet she was the only one missing.

Jiang Youwei blinked, completely uncomprehending, but seeing Grandpa Liang scurrying away at high speed, he still decided to lend a hand.

Opinions varied widely, but in Fang Qinggu's view, ever since Thirteen Strokes vanished, all subsequent events were sheer fabrication and not worth taking seriously.

Looking at Qin Jingru's peaceful sleeping face, Jiang Youwei could not sleep just yet, his mind lingering on the upcoming reward.

The daytime auroras, mingled with the blazing sunlight, grew even more intense, especially at midday; stepping outside meant facing a blinding glare that made one's eyes ache...

The opponent was also a sly fox, showing up at the Hyuga clan's gates early in the morning with a number of Hyuga jounin trailing behind him, seemingly waiting for someone.

Aside from Bai Jie and Tang Qiuchiu, everyone else cast eerie glances at him, their eyes tinged with a hint of grievance.

Just stepping out of the inn, Zhang Shan began looking left and right, craning his neck in all directions, exercising ears that listened to every sound and eyes that watched the six paths. He appeared highly vigilant, terrified of a sudden ambush by his former sectmates, and remained constantly prepared to bolt back into the safety of the inn.

Because he could fly, he was able to move with supreme flexibility, evading his opponent's iron sand attacks to the absolute maximum extent.

Lin Xiajin changed into another set of clothes, throwing her drenched garments directly away. Pulling a raincoat over herself, she leaned sideways against the wall and drifted off to sleep.

"We passed by a bunch of mutated animals outside, so we came up here to hide for a bit," Lin Xiajin quickly explained.

The greater one's personal strength, the more powerful the entourage accompanying them tended to be. To put it bluntly, if anyone wished to reap rewards from this secret realm, these accompanying personnel would be the primary competitors they had to face. Only by triumphing over them could one attain anything of value within this realm.

Xian Jianren took a deep breath, yet stubbornly insisted on pinning the blame for the poisoning squarely on Ji Xinglan.

"I don't know. But I do know that half a year ago, the top freshman entrant at the God of War Martial Arts Academy was someone named Wind Tiger..." Old Man Cui said.

Various speculations were finally put to rest when an airplane captured footage of Gina being crowned monarch at the center of the city.

Never had she expected that her gaze, filled with hostility, would collide directly with He Zhenglin's glare of fury.

As the sovereign of one of the four great dynasties, who would willingly be a puppet controlled by others?

At this thought, Xia Qiqi could not help feeling flustered and panicked, dreading lest this man see right through her thoughts.

Tian Wenxing, a powerhouse of the Life and Death Three Calamities Realm, was the Sect Master of the Tian Wen Sect in the Southern River region—a towering figure whose name shook the entire Northern Billow lands.

Practitioners of the mystic arts rarely concealed their personal treasures in random hiding spots unless they knew they were facing imminent death and wished to pass down their legacy. Otherwise, they invariably kept such items on their persons to guard against the unexpected.

He pulled out two black crystals, about a foot long and tapered at both ends like double-edged daggers, and handed them to Rantianyi and Li Feng.

Since they were entering a partnership, Ye Yaoyao naturally had to be candid, recounting every single detail truthfully to Xiujue to demonstrate her sincerity.

Normally, close sisters like them wouldn't keep good news hidden from one another.

Li's eldest brother cupped his fists toward the villagers and rode off at a gallop with a troop of knights, leaving the villagers standing amidst the swirling dust with sighs of wonder.

Thus, led by Elder Famai, the imposing and murderous assembly of White Firmament Immortal Sect disciples marched aggressively into the Demon Emperor's Palace. After partaking in a meal whose taste they could barely register, they were politely escorted down the Demon Emperor Mountain with dazed expressions.

The busyness of the day might dull the ache of longing for a while, but the moment night fell, her figure would irresistibly etch itself into his mind, impossible to banish ever again.

He abruptly lifted his head from his crossed arms, long and curled eyelashes still glistening with tearful moisture.

Hearing Qin Wansha's deliberately seductive words and Andre's hook, line, and sinker response without him even realizing it, Li Suiyan arched a brow in reassurance.

"What kind of person do you take me for? How could I ever do something so base?" he said with a helpless smile.

"I remember Mogo was standing guard. Who on earth has the capability to steal the Lantern Beast without a single sound?" Thia asked, somewhat startled. Mogo's mental power vastly exceeded that of humans a millionfold. Even though she was still very young at heart, as a sentient planet equipped with a Power Ring, her strength was formidable indeed.

Before laying eyes on this person, Zhuyue had imagined countless times what the person she so desperately longed to see would look like.
