Volume One, Chapter 48: The Great Mud Eel of Hashima

It is easier to simply surpass an opponent, but truly eliminating them entirely is far more difficult. After all, this place is better known to the enemy, so even if they fail, escaping is relatively easier here.

No wonder these martial cultivators prefer to remain in this area of scarce spiritual energy rather than venture outside to train! It turns out they all hope to enter that mysterious realm within their lifetime.

When Yun Mu’s words echoed through the grand hall, the other disciples of the Dan Sect nearby looked at him with astonishment, whispering among themselves.

Just as he knelt, countless rays of light suddenly burst forth from the statue of the God of War, shooting into Ye Zhong’s body.

Of course, one could also wade directly through the river without issue, since this waterway isn’t very deep, and it’s easy to get out after going in. The river’s waters are clear to the bottom, but no fish can be found within.

“Brother Bai, are you there? We’ve run into trouble!” Sang You’s panicked voice came from outside the tent, footsteps halting at its entrance.

“You…” The leading soldier grew furious seeing Ye Zhong act unpredictably. He wanted to speak, but Ye Zhong’s blade was already slashing toward him, forcing him to swallow his words.

Being clever, he understood that his master’s words were not meant to excuse Chen Shibo’s attitude earlier, but rather a warning for him. Since he also took the Dust-Extinguishing Pill, his master’s meaning was clear: his temperament might worsen in the future—a cautionary note from his master.

The clan leader Hou Yi’s negotiations with the young royal continued at a steady pace.

The Evil Emperor City’s lord mansion was deserted. After some thought, Ye Zhong left the mansion, replenished his potions, repaired his gear, and then used the city’s teleportation array to arrive at Tianyong City.

Those who had been enduring visibly stiffened all at once; their bodies were frozen simultaneously.

In the name of ruling the three realms, Haotian commanded the underworld to surrender Yang Tianyou’s soul. He planned to use Yang Tianyou to lure out those three bastards.

Back when Jue’s power in the Jin Kingdom was overwhelming, even though the Third Prince had now become the emperor, as long as Jue was alive, he always felt uneasy sitting on the throne.

Gao Xiaopan is quite an interesting character. He graduated from the Chinese Opera Academy’s specialized cross-talk program, apprenticed under the cross-talk master Feng Baohua from childhood, and later took Feng Chunling as his mentor. Before entering the industry, he worked as a wedding MC, host, clothing store salesperson, salesman, and painter.

“The Imperial Food Bureau is a place the Imperial Concubine treasures deeply. The bureau chief is her trusted confidant. If we move against her lightly, it will surely provoke the Imperial Concubine’s interference!” This was the first to be abandoned by He Lan, but unexpectedly Xue Qi’s attention was drawn here.

For cultivators, such treasures greatly aid their comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth—it is a supreme treasure.

When has Xiao Shuyue ever been afraid? Yet for the word ‘fear’ to come from her mouth is remarkable in itself.

“What? How could this happen?” Su Wan had just calmed down when the subject disappeared again. That girl truly has a knack for causing trouble.

These three points barely elicited faint sighs from the audience. They were too simple. Some cast disdainful looks at Li Shan, clearly feeling he had tarnished the reputation of the Yuanji Sect.

The Xiao family alone could never allow Xiao Qingcheng to escape unscathed in this matter; only Xiao Shuyue could achieve that.

Hearing Gu Xinfei’s soft moans, Tang Di instinctively glanced over, sensing a burning gaze. Suddenly realizing the danger, he quickly withdrew his eyes.

Su Qing grew nervous—could there be more demands? If the requests were rude, she would definitely refuse the money.

Long, slender legs appeared faintly through the mist, dressed in a long, loose robe with sleeves so wide that her smooth, pale wrists were glimpsed as she walked.

The beasts had eaten their fill, devouring the lower half of the spirit fruit pig completely. They bowed collectively to Mo Chen before fleeing.

The planning team selected the National Forest Park of Country E for the last two days of the trip to experience wilderness life.

“No need, just help me into the car.” As he spoke, Nie Weidong pulled out his car keys and pressed a button; his Cheetah’s door automatically popped open.

The homeroom teacher and several subject teachers each took charge of a student group. The resort was small, nestled by the mountains and water, still harboring safety hazards.

“You should trust me because I trust you. After all, you once said you weren’t going for the Fountain of Youth,” Wang Zhi said seriously, looking at Zhang Fang.

Nie Weidong sat at the low dining table, feeling awkward under the care of Grandpa and Grandma Jiang. Hearing Jiang Mi’s voice, he immediately felt saved, bouncing up and running out excitedly.

Count Michel smiled and said, “It’s simple: if you die, I take the key. If you come here, it means you still have value.” He wore the expression of one who has everything under control.

Thus, in the past month, people occasionally came by driving cars, causing trouble at Jin Hua Auto Repair with excuses like unfinished repairs or replaced parts, making it nearly impossible for the shop to operate normally.

Du Hengshuang changed clothes at Du Hengxue’s place before boarding the Marquis of Pillar State’s carriage back to the mansion.

She had lost the long sword she originally used while attempting to assassinate Zhang Ling, and it was unlikely to be found.

“Mr. Yan” clearly did not expect Yin Lu to struggle so desperately. He had no time to evade as the dagger plunged straight in.
