Hiding in Plain Sight

Yunran arrived at her destination smoothly, without a single unexpected incident along the entire journey.

"I never expected the Heavenly Dao to be so good at timing; it never holds us back when we are handling important business."

The ginseng fruit spirit also realized belatedly that the Heavenly Dao in this book's world did not seem entirely unreasonable after all.

From a distance, Yunran spotted someone and came running over eagerly.

Just then, she overheard someone speaking ill of her.

"Chief, you didn't mention the external reinforcement—"

Dong Zhanyun kept searching the vicinity for the giant serpent's fatal weakness, while the Shadow Hawk-Finch stood ready on the side to launch a surprise attack. "Right here." Dong Zhanyun's Heavenly Spirit Eye finally located the serpent's fatal spot hidden within its body, but it required Gloom's coordination.

Peng Mo was lost in such deep thought that he failed to hear Peng Hao's question. When his arm was nudged, he snapped back to reality and asked, "What did Third Brother say?" His eyes widened as he stared at Peng Hao.

"Nice to meet you all, cheers!" Jason handed a glass of wine to Liu Lingshan and Peter each.

A familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared before his eyes, and a sentence slowly escaped his lips.

Such an incident would directly impact Japan's maritime lifeline, plunging its economy into a severe crisis or even collapse.

"With so many bats, we probably won't finish killing them even if we keep at it for another day. We're going to drop dead from exhaustion here!" Wang Junlong said with resentment.

A wave of energy bombardment erupted behind him. In the blink of an eye, the sharp blade in his hand was right in front of Wang Xuanlong, aimed straight at his throat.

Just as the three burly men were about to slip away, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded, followed by a figure slowly stepping through the doorway.

The following morning at the imperial court, the memorials impeaching Jin Xiuchen did not subside due to his confinement punishment; instead, they intensified.

Flying Tiger asked in puzzlement, "Why did you only create living beings on the planet Youlan? You could have created life on all eight planets!"

It appeared the guards recognized who 'Song Mi' was, and bypassing even the announcement, they prepared to lead them straight inside. Siyao glanced sideways at Luoxi, then walked ahead. Luoxi followed closely behind, and the two stepped into the Yin residence escorted by the guard.

Regarding Luoxi's resolve, aside from warmth and a lingering ache in their hearts, they felt nothing else. They did not find Luoxi cruel in the slightest, nor did they consider themselves good people; as long as the ones they wished to protect could live happily, they would be content.

"I'm sorry, team leader!" Catching the signaling glances from several heads in charge, Minto Tian forced down his rage and gritted out through his teeth.

"Enough, Zhanjun, calm down!" Hearing Mu Kai still daring to act insolent, Ruan Zhanjun's anger flared further. He clenched his fists tightly, preparing to smash a punch straight at Mu Kai, only to be intercepted by Ji Feng, who said—

These words were spoken with great momentum, pressing down like a reprimand. Liu Xiaomang distinctly felt Sun Tingting's hand suddenly tighten its grip on his, appearing somewhat nervous.

Having finally completed the fusion of the Ultimate Water of the Five Elements, removing a major hidden danger in his heart, Luoxi instantly felt a great sense of relief.

Luoxi enjoyed being surrounded by warmth and light, but such a gloomy and terrifying night made Luoxi even more exhilarated.

"So that's how it is! I never imagined these Twin Heroes of Tianyan could be so formidable!" Xiang Jin nodded to himself.

Scanning the area first with spiritual perception, then checking with the naked eye to ensure no one was around, Third Master Yuan finally hauled out Master Youyuan.

"Beat him to death!" someone shouted, at which point the students suddenly remembered that Ling Chen was not a student at their school.

"Go report this to the Marquis and the Madam immediately," the captain of the guards took a sharp intake of breath. "Something is likely to happen in the palace." Having served as the Princess's guard for several years, he had almost never seen her lose her composure like this. Although he did not understand what had happened, his intuition told him it was definitely nothing good.

Yan Qingcheng was startled by the sudden change and began to struggle fiercely, trying to break free from the man's restraints, but in vain. The man was exceptionally strong, and before she even had a chance to struggle, she was bound so tightly that she could not move at all.
