Chapter 38

"Whew..." I let out a breath, feeling that being this passive was against my own interests. I decided it was time to play the paper tiger.

The intimidating presence of the Mai Sect Leader caused the man to yield before the fight even began, spilling everything about who had commissioned him.

With just a light touch, the dim ancient sword shattered completely, dissolving into a sky full of light particles that vanished into thin air.

Pan Ya suddenly stopped outside the door, turning back to look at Peng Ying with hesitation, his words catching in his throat.

Ren Cangqiong let out a cold snort in his heart; Shi Gaofei’s statement was clearly a bluff. If nothing else, the group of people near the Panlong Valley alone was enough to disprove Shi Gaofei’s claim.

"Master, the Red Blade Sect Leader has gathered a group of God-rank experts, though their strength is not particularly high. The three strongest among them are the Red Blade Sect Leader himself, Bei Xingchen, and the Dean of the Qiushuang Academy. Additionally, there are some Emperor-rank and quasi-God-rank individuals," Lian Yi reported with precision.

"Good, good, good, very good!" Yelu Hong repeated the word "good" several times before casting a look of intense resentment at Feng Yun Wuhun and turning to walk off the stage.

Brilliant light and continuous explosions filled the ears; whether they were cultivators or vengeful spirits, they were constantly being obliterated into nothingness. The siege was brutal to the extreme.

Long Yang felt an immense sense of satisfaction; Ren Cangqiong’s move was essentially in line with his own predictions. In this sense, he could consider his foresight as godlike.

It was only after Feng Yun Wuhun held Huang Yifei’s godhead in his hand that the surrounding warriors finally reacted.

"What happened? Is some aristocrat threatening you?" the President’s tone turned stern.

However, that was only as far as her thoughts went. On the fourth day, Ze Yan still took her back, though just before leaving, Xi privately spoke with Ze Yan for a while.

The rustling sound lasted for about the time it takes to burn half a stick of incense, growing louder and denser. An indescribable power filled the entire space.

At this moment, Newton did not intend to do anything. He did not yet understand the operating principles of these surveillance machines; if he were to accidentally trigger some kind of backdoor, it would be troublesome. He would control them for now and go to the public laboratory to take a look.

Because their master could not afford the slightest loss, once they left Liuzhou, the fate of Feng Yu would inevitably be rewritten, and their master would surely become the one to change Feng Yu and even the world. Therefore, they could not tolerate a single mistake.

For thousands of years, the Soul Emperor had often come here to report news. Knowing that his old master’s temperament had changed drastically after reincarnation and that he disliked worldly formalities, he merely bowed to pay his respects before repeating the message from the Di Ting twins exactly as it was.

Ruoli gripped the precious sword in her hand tightly, her heart in her throat. Yet, she had to move forward. When she saw the scene around the corner, her almond eyes widened, and her mind went blank.

"No—" Ze Yan’s gaze locked onto Ruoli’s dimming eyes as he pulled her body tightly into his embrace.

Sig suspended in mid-air. From his god-like perspective, his eyes scanned everywhere, seemingly searching for something.

Jiang nodded. Although it was ordinary, sometimes a romantic dinner could indeed serve as a great way to adjust the atmosphere.

"You think you can stop me?" The Scarlet Flame Dragon Lion snorted repeatedly, not taking the opponent seriously at all. As a dignified level-nine spirit beast, suppressing two Martial Ancestor-realm experts was a matter of minutes.

A week passed, and there was still no news from her boyfriend. Zhang Qiang could no longer sit still; she sent a message, testing his attitude: "What do you mean by this? Why aren't you coming home? Why aren't you contacting me?"

But it was clear that this inference was unreasonable, as Manager Cheng had not left the company this morning. Even with a split personality, there was only one body. If he hadn't left the company, how could he have appeared in my clinic? Furthermore, the two events he described himself suffered from the same issue.

The provincial and ministerial departments were far apart, and matters were difficult to resolve until they reached the ministry for a final decision. The provincial government was six or seven thousand li away from the Ministry of Revenue, and the closest was three or four thousand li. Once the register was completed, the seal had to be applied, and a round trip would take no less than a year.

Zhai Guang spoke slowly. Although he was not overbearing, the meaning behind his words clearly established him as the master of the crystal essence mine at the bottom of the deep ravine.

When she gently placed the jade pendant into San Bao’s hands, her hands trembled incessantly, and tears streamed down her face. Seeing the flush on her extremely pale and weak face when she heard Zhu Di order San Bao to personally escort her back to Dian, I couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.

"Grandmother, Aunt, I am going to the Imperial Academy for class." His eyes flickered, and he bowed steadily with his hands together.

However, as a final means of survival, this teleportation ability was indeed outrageously strong. Even Ye Xiao, a fourth-tier esper, could not hold onto him.

This ancient gate looked very similar to the ones they had seen before, only it appeared more luxurious. Gold threads were inlaid upon the stone slabs, and based on the proportions of the gate, there was at least a hundred pounds of gold on it.

We walked around in a circle and looked carefully; from beneath a section of the wall near the great river, the sound of trickling water suddenly emerged.

Lan Xingling’s mood was very complex. Looking at the hat-wearing style of Luo Feng, she felt it was very strange. This was the first time she had ever seen Luo Feng wear a hat. Furthermore, she was even more surprised that Luo Feng had appeared in Huazhou.

Laughter and mocking voices, accompanied by chuckles and guffaws, swept over him entirely, rolling in like waves that engulfed Ning Fan.

Luo Feng smiled faintly and stopped talking to Luo Hongye. If he kept talking to this enchantress, what if he really got tricked?
