77 The Sorcerer 08

—It must have been assimilated by this world, becoming a form of magic. To harness that dormant power hidden within the body would require a great deal of research.

“All right.” Ye Zheng agreed without hesitation. Did he have any other choice?

But this time, the fear welled up from the depths of his heart, involuntarily, surpassing all reason. An overwhelming intuition warned him that a presence beyond comprehension existed here.

With just a single movement, countless faces changed instantly! Was this the true strength of Lan Yale? What kind of aura would it take to reach such a realm?

“How could you be so careless? We just got here, and you already let them send you to the police station?” Ye Ke looked at Xiao Feng with reproach, her tender concern lingering in her gaze.

Meanwhile, between her slender, delicate legs, a flood had already broken loose, crystalline fluid coating Zhao Yi’s palm.

Chu Yun felt somewhat frustrated at Chen Jing’s words. If the Shadow Panther and Bat Dragon were considered sneaky, then as a card repairer specializing in illusion cards and ambush attacks from the shadows, wouldn’t he deserve even greater disdain?

One of the colleagues assigned to guard the site disappeared last night. Someone working at the construction site reported seeing him jump into the pit. I went down with Chen Sheng, but we found no trace of him, only a single button left at the scene. The button was from our field uniform. The situation may have deteriorated. Tomorrow, we must return to the provincial capital and request reinforcements.

After finally completing all the troublesome procedures, Li Mu arrived at his private room. He then inserted the VIP membership card he had just received into the room’s card slot. Instantly, a three-dimensional projection screen appeared before everyone.

Lan Jing sat to the left of the main hall, gazing at the crowd gathered at the entrance, noisily discussing the situation. For a moment she felt dazed, as if she were watching television.

Crying her grievances without regard for her image did prove useful. The townsfolk at the door began pointing and whispering, as if a forced confession had truly taken place.

He couldn’t figure out where Voldemort had gone, feeling as though the dark lord might strike him from the shadows at any moment.

“No, no, this is actually quite convenient, and of course, it has its own trump cards in battle as well! Right?” As she spoke, Najeta glanced at ‘Susanoo.’

Ye Fei hadn’t remembered the gesture and wasn’t surprised at first, but now that Ye Fei had recalled and repeated it, he found himself taken aback.

Tang Ruoruo shot Xie Qin a sidelong look, apparently at a loss for words by his answer. After some thought, she asked, “Then have you never played Solitaire on the computer?”

The attendant glanced at his smiling master, suddenly perplexed. After all, Lord Tang was the heir, the sole son—did no one care if he preferred men?

After several seconds, the man furrowed his brow and slowly opened his eyes, but his body remained frozen and unmoving.

Aside from Duan Shaoping and the other three high-ranking figures who understood his meaning, everyone else misunderstood, assuming it was merely a celebration for the recent victory and a final frenzy before the dawn of a new war.

If another half an hour passed without word, he would announce to the outside world that the Faceless Guild was declaring war on the Eagle Alliance—on the grounds that Sansan, one of the chief aides to Guild Master Yan Ying, had died at the Eagle Alliance headquarters under mysterious circumstances.

Yang Xuan nodded. He Yan said boisterously, “I know already, nag nag nag!” Bingjing glared at him, and He Yan was so intimidated he didn’t say another word.

The defenses around the cave-dwelling were now exceedingly secure. Disciples below the Foundation Establishment level would need a long time to break through. Foundation Establishment cultivators had no reason to attack Turtle Treasure’s cave without cause, so Turtle Treasure could finally rest easy and cultivate spiritual plants inside.

After the Stone Ninja retreated, they had planned to return to their village. However, some Jonin realized they might not have enough supplies for the journey home and, unwilling to go hungry, set out to plunder the Land of Rivers again.

“Speaking of which, even my master has had a hard life. He writes to say his nephew failed the county exam again this time.” Li Lianying sighed.

Although the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect all hailed from extraordinary backgrounds, now some had joined the Buddhist order, while others had yet to regain their cultivation. Only Yun Zhongzi remained available for use, leaving Master Yuqing deeply troubled.

Seeing Mi Zhu remain silent, Tian Xuanzi began to recite the Rebirth and Purity Mantra at her side. This was one of the few spells his master had taught him on Mount Tai. It had little practical use, serving only to ease the souls of the departed.

The Spirit Emperor looked upon the two with envy. He, too, had never sensed the spirit of the World Mountain, never reached that ultimate limit. Even if he felt its presence, he was still unable to see the spirit of that mountain.

Suddenly, the vast Heavens Mirror emitted a forceful suction, drawing in the red mist around you. Yet each time, only a small amount was absorbed, barely enough to keep a three-foot radius around the two of you free from the encroaching mist.

Makoto Mado nodded after hearing Li Lingyi’s explanation—she trusted him. In her view, he had no reason to lie.

Moreover, Turtle Treasure had retrieved thirty-six high-grade Stealth Cones from the storage bracelet. Eighteen were sufficient to lay a basic stealth formation, but if twenty-four could be used to construct an intermediate formation, the area covered would be far greater and its power even more formidable.
