Chapter 24: Nothing Remains but a Corpse

At this moment, the forces led by Nong Hua had also arrived, and several other experts from the Iron Flag Alliance appeared one after another. Although they did not yet understand the situation, seeing so many people running in one direction, they figured that going with the flow would surely be the right choice, so they joined the fray of the mob.

Ye Tianxie no longer refused. He pulled open the car door, tossed his suitcase inside, climbed in after it, and shut the door.

Before the Emperor could speak, Lu Yinglan laughed first. "Your Majesty, you are quite right; this impudent girl really does have a sharp mind."

The group returned to Qianshan County by dusk. After resting for the night, they set off the next day without further delay. When they passed Mount Longhu in Guixi, they did not stop for sightseeing, mainly because Fairy Jingyi was not in the mood; Mount Longhu belonged to the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, which had very little interaction with her own Lingbao Sect.

What was most rare was that Ling Yunhe had helped her without holding it over her head. In this regard, he was a clever man; by not demanding a favor in return, he had instead earned Mo Tiange’s favor. Because of this, she could not help but reconsider the matter of Wuyou Valley.

Suddenly, the brilliant silver glow of the twin hooks vanished in an instant. Everyone saw a hand, and the masked twin hooks were now caught firmly within it—it was Feng Xiao’s left hand.

Rui An frowned. Seth’s words made him feel very uncomfortable, but that was far from enough reason for him to team up with Calio against Seth. Indeed, he wanted to seek revenge on Seth, but in his heart, he wanted to face Seth in a fair, honorable duel and defeat him, not join forces with others to take him down.

By the time the vehicle had traveled for over two hours and reached Puji Town, they were about halfway to Licheng.

When Yuchi Hui heard Qian Buli describe himself as a simple-minded man, she nearly burst into laughter. If Qian Buli were simple-minded, it would be hard to find a truly intelligent person under the heavens. Suppressing her laughter, she translated his words.

"Are you very worried?" Gao Haotian did not know how this news would affect her.

Ji Siming drove the car, beaming as he said, "How about that? It wasn't a waste to treat me to this meal, was it? Look at the expressions on your faces earlier; you looked like you’d suffered a huge loss." As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Tong En.

His gaze sharpening, Bai Ling looked at Ye Susu coldly. The habitual smile on his face now looked rather sinister.

A phantom image appeared before Liansheng. Liansheng was exceptionally vigilant; with a wave of his hand, thousands of bolts of lightning condensed into weapons—blades, spears, swords, and halberds—ready to be unleashed at any moment, leaving his enemies with no place to be buried.

The private tunnels of the Gray Family Stronghold were dense and labyrinthine, filled with many branching paths. Without familiarity with the terrain, a single moment of carelessness could lead to a deadly trap or a dead end from which there was no return. Of course, under the guidance of the Gray Family members, there was no such danger, and the group appeared to be in high spirits.

A month can indeed allow for many things to be done. During this month, Su Yi returned to the Su family once more, primarily to inform his grandfather, Su Tianxiao, about the news regarding his father, Su Ming.

After a long while, Mu Xifeng took a deep breath and opened his eyes. At this moment, Mu Xifeng was a primary-level Qi Controller capable of wielding Primordial Force, though his total power remained at 2,990 realms, as he had only expanded his chaotic space rather than creating a new world.

A single action saved him from entangling with these people. Yang Chong knew that the reputation of the Resistance’s operations and his own methods of dealing with these traitors would keep Cangling City "clean" for a long time to come.

And I, for one, do not want to be a pathetic person. The only thing sustaining me right now is this sliver of pride; without it, I wouldn't know how to keep going.

Therefore, although Chu Manyu lived in the village under impoverished conditions, she had not yet reached the point of selling herself.

The farmer trembled, yet he dared not flee. He saw the crimson in Sikong Xi’s eyes, as if he were about to be devoured alive. If he lost his nerve and ran, he had no way of knowing whether he would live or die.

This was the first time Fan encountered the highest combat power of this pirate crew—a seventh-rank Earth Sword Master, only one step away from becoming an eighth-rank Sky Sword Master.

For him now, only Yao Yao mattered. As long as he could save her, he would do so without hesitation, even if it meant killing, let alone just pouring some liquid into the hotel’s water tank.

Unless it was a C-rank Transcendent with awakened mental powers, Ji Qiu could still immobilize them by catching them off guard.

"Two thousand!" Lie Yangge said. "Besides those who have entered the city, we have discovered that a large number of Immortals are stationed outside."

Old Henry tilted his wine bottle at a forty-five-degree angle into the glass and lifted it toward the people facing him.

At the residences of the York University students—uniform two-story white buildings, each with a small garden behind it—the two Sissel sisters sat on a bench in one of the gardens, staring blankly at the bright moon.

"I know what you want to ask," Gu Yao stood still. The crowd that had packed the area earlier had mostly dispersed, each wandering through the night market on their own.

Gu Yao did not speak, only staring at Cheng Bi across the table and the dice cup in his hand. A moment later, with a "bang," the dice cup slammed onto the table, and the dust settled.

Although she knew the Wei Kingdom’s magical artifacts were powerful, she had never imagined that their strength could reach such a degree.

All of this was laughable. The reason Prince Luo delayed sending troops to resist the enemy was not, as the court officials speculated, due to a lack of prestige, but because out of the four tokens required to mobilize the army, he now held only the Commander’s Seal.

Although the insect demons were able to inflict damage on the Spiritual Awareness soldiers due to their sheer numbers, these soldiers had been implanted with special DNA-modified organs that stimulated the rapid division of most of their body cells, granting them an extremely high capacity for rapid self-healing.

"Do you have any anti-inflammatory medication?" Fuji did not respond to Qian’s words, changing the subject instead. He could not ignore the injuries on Ying Ren’s face.
