Volume One, Chapter 44: Curiosity Killed the Bear

In other words, he was facing the question of which side to take. In officialdom, that was an unavoidable hurdle.

Several metallic clangs rang out, followed by the sound of shattering. The black iron chains coiled around his body were blasted apart into numerous fragments. Ripples of force surged outward, catching the corpse generals who were closing in completely off guard. They were severed at the waist, spraying black corpse water across the ground as plumes of black smoke rose into the air.

Yang Sufeng’s face was grim. Without saying a word, he followed him into Melington’s bedroom, only to find it completely empty.

Faced with the enormous creature that had suddenly appeared, the returning warriors cried out in alarm. They could not even summon the will to resist. A magical beast of this caliber had far exceeded their imagination; they had already been cowed before the battle began.

“Yes! We can only rely on ourselves! Let’s fight them to the end! Even if I die, I’ll drag Lin Dingtian down with me!” Lin Miaohe slammed the table and shouted.

Lin Sheng naturally pursued without relent. When the azure-robed man saw that Lin Sheng had followed him into the air, a cunning glint flashed across his brows. He had deliberately lured Lin Sheng up here. As a disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, he excelled in thunder-based martial arts. Once they were in the sky, it would be the perfect place for his thunder techniques to display their might.

“How did Feng Li end up here? Fortunately, he can suppress the lustful energy within my body. Otherwise, I would have no choice but to lose myself to him—or kill myself here!” Yan Mengmeng let out a long breath of relief.

Retobun drew his red blade of light while speaking in a completely emotionless tone.

At the thought of this, Melody’s face flushed crimson. He had never imagined that the gap between himself and the others could be so vast—to the point that even his combat awareness existed on an entirely different plane from theirs. He had embarrassed himself before the whole world.

Unexpectedly, the direction he was taking was precisely toward the Venus Manor before them.

An endless stream of wood energy emanated from Wuliang’s body. It was not a wood-based supernatural ability, yet he existed in symbiosis with plants. Those fine fibers had already invaded every part of Wuliang’s body, including his brain. He was practically a tree-man. How, then, had he managed to retain his sanity?

“Cutting attacks—you don’t know how to do them?” Old Lu asked, somewhat puzzled. Once someone reached the fourth level of evolution, this technique was very easy to learn.

A succession of explosions erupted. The entire mountain was blasted in half down the middle by a sea of blood, and a stream of blood flowed out through the fissure.

Liuli reached out to shake hands. One hand was warm and the other cold; they touched lightly before separating at once.

This was the private clinic of Blue Rock Manor, and every doctor working there served only the people who lived on the estate.

In his previous life, he had not yet grown strong enough and was still biding his time, gathering strength. Yet before he could achieve his great ambitions and control the feudal lords by wielding the emperor’s authority, his life had already come to an abrupt end.

Yan Xiaoxiao felt that something was wrong. “Is your Crown Prince brother this kind to everyone?” Was the Crown Prince showing her favor because of Mo Qianchen—loving the beloved’s associates as he loved the beloved herself?

At the headquarters of the Mage Guild, there were actually two divine-tier powerhouses and five half-divine grand archmages.

“Who are you?” The man guarded the people behind him, gripping his blade in an attacking stance. It seemed that if they displayed even the slightest sign of ill intent, he would leap forward and kill them.

The Phoenix Emperor rarely smiled, but when he did, he was dazzling enough to astonish everyone. Even Mo Qianchen, a man himself, had to admit that the Phoenix Emperor embodied the meaning of being peerless beneath heaven.

No matter how deep the conflicts between her and them had once been, after so many years apart, she discovered that she still missed them somewhat.

Rather than a bank of dark clouds, it was more like black smoke—and it was moving swiftly. It would reach this place before long.

Seeing Tang Xuan actually launch an attack in front of him, a third-rank, eight-star Spirit Venerable, the Azure Wood Spirit Venerable was so furious that his beard and hair bristled. The circular wheel of light in his hand shone with sacred radiance, and his figure flashed as he charged toward Tang Xuan above.

As the devastation caused by the strange weather grew increasingly severe, every department became involved in the rescue efforts. By rights, he too was supposed to follow their command.

Dressed in understated luxury and possessing an unusual, distinguished bearing, he also exuded an extremely dangerous air that could not be ignored. Yet he was irresistibly attractive and sexy. Sitting so casually on the sofa, he invariably drew a large number of eyes.

Several disciples of the Wansheng Sect positioned themselves at angles to one another, creating an attack formation that spread over the battlefield like a heavenly net.

The younger sister he had imagined should have been fair and plump, but the sister he encountered in reality was utterly different from the one in his imagination.

After an awkward moment of thought, Que Yu withdrew into a corner, trying his best to minimize his presence. Inciting the public’s anger would only do him more harm than good.

Xiahou Qin and Long Yao simultaneously cut open their palms. With the barrier between them, their palms faced each other, and the barrier began to tremble and vibrate.

“She has been poisoned by kite poison, and the poison has been in her system since the day she was born. Madam Duan should have been poisoned by the same thing.” Dongfang Chen gave a brief account of Mu Lingxi’s condition.

Although she harbored some resentment in her heart, when Liu Mohan saw Yu Ningxue in that state, she forgot everything and hurried forward to help her up.

“The day I first saw you, I noticed that your features resembled my mother’s. After I returned to the Yan family, I had someone investigate you. After all, I had thoroughly uncovered my mother’s identity long ago. If there was someone who resembled her and was also a member of the Qi family, how could I not investigate?”

Because they were enemies, she knew them more intimately than anyone else. If that barrier between them disappeared completely, then as a friend, perhaps she would be the best one of all.
