Chapter 61: Who Says There Is No Turning Back Once the Bow Is Drawn

Hearing this, Hou Lang let out a scoff, waved his hand to brush off some non-existent dust, and said, "Fine, you step up."

Without any hesitation, Zhou Ye turned right back around and reached for his bow.

Yun Chen suddenly understood! A trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and then he recounted everything that had happened after he returned to the inn, finally mentioning that he had already applied for an extended leave of absence from his head teacher.

As he spoke, his gaze darted back and forth between Ruan Yu'er and Yun Chen, a hint of ambiguous meaning flashing in his eyes.

Struck by pain, the tree demon abruptly contracted, directly squeezing the belly of the spider beast and driving it into an even greater frenzy. Its already crimson eyes turned blood-red, and its eight legs thrashed with increased wildness. Gradually, its entire body began to turn a reddish hue, tinged with a milky white.

The moment the green liquid made contact with the golden barrier, it produced a harsh, corrosive hiss, and a huge hole actually tore open in the golden barrier! Without losing momentum, the green liquid splattered entirely onto the peach wood sword in Yun Chen's hand.

The remaining members of the judging panel also gathered around to closely inspect the youth-preserving pill refined by Liu Dingtian, all wearing expressions of utter shock. How many years had it been since a pill with six ripples of energy last appeared at the Evergreen City Alchemist Tournament?

A reception desk was designed at the entrance of the main lobby, equipped with a computer linked to the hotel's customer service and featuring real-time voice communication to assist guests in solving problems at any time.

After a round of attacks, a massive crater appeared in front of the palace gates. Gu An knelt on one arm inside the crater, covered in blood, holding the succubus tightly and protectively in his arms.

Qin Ming had to come up with a viable plan before he could continue releasing albums; yet, without new albums, the growth of Helen Company would likely stall right there, leaving Qin Ming trapped in a dilemma.

With a mere flick of his spiritual sense, the scenery within a radius of dozens of miles flooded into his mind. Although his soul realm had not improved, the range had expanded considerably with the assistance of the power of heaven and earth. Yuheng and Tianquan represented two completely different realms—one as low as the earth, the other as high as the heavens.

Wei Zhengting drew her copper coin sword and charged at the Onmyoji. The two of them clashed instantly. Although there were no flashy special effects, it was clear that both possessed some martial arts foundation, trading blows evenly for a time.

Look at her, still carrying such a fiery temper. He hadn't even done anything yet, and she had already gone ahead and secured a destination for herself.

"Let's go, let's go, don't look back with regret. A new starting point, a new journey—from now on, whenever we go to the provincial capital, we'll have a host to treat us," Wang Jinglong said with a cheerful smile.

Yet it was precisely this mindset that cost them their lives. The two guards had their throats slit from behind by the creeping Wasei warriors, hot blood spurting out. The gates weren't even latched and swung open with a push. Inside, it was completely silent; several brazier fires hadn't even been lit, and the tents stood tall and lonely one after another.

Those who saw through the truth suddenly found these events rather amusing. Heaven knows what kind of bad luck Mo Xue Pavilion had run into, to be targeted by others one after another. To claim it was merely out of jealousy over how well her business was doing would be far too exaggerated.

Everyone looked over in bewilderment. The voice of this prince, whom they seemed to have constantly forgotten, sounded especially resonant at this moment. It pierced through everyone's conventional wisdom, as if trying to force an unimaginable fantasy into everyone's minds. Yet quite a few people immediately dismissed the thought, dismissing the whole thing as a joke.

"Teacher Kong Shaluo, Lord Jinkan, I truly cannot back down," Ye Xing said, raising his head with a calm expression.

"What is it? Isn't it because you spoil her too much? Such a grown-up, and she doesn't even have the most basic sense of self-defense. If the scammers don't prey on her, who else would?" Chen Jiaqi glared at Nan Yan with annoyed eyes.
