Chapter 36: Divine Descent

By noon, a video had gone viral showing the wife of an international dance competition judge leading a group of people to assault Wu Yuying.

The first-generation master of New Oriental held the divine flame, yet he was defeated. His peerless, supposedly invincible recipe ultimately caused his cultivation to suffer a backlash, reducing him to the Q-rank. Now, he struggled even to control the divine flame.

"I understand, Brother Qin Feng. Sayonara!" Gu Lingyu offered a bitter smile once more, then turned and walked away, dragging her luggage behind her.

Xia Shiqi ignored him, her eyes fixed on Xia Xin's reddened left hand, which stood in stark contrast to his right.

"Alright, I really must go. Qin Feng, I only ask one thing: don't forget me, or you’ll be dead meat." Xu Shiwan gave my shoulder one last embrace and whispered into my ear, her eyes unable to mask the sorrow within.

I had just felt a flicker of joy when Xia Xin casually asked, "By the way, where is Xiaoxuan? Why didn't she come to eat with you?" My mood plummeted instantly.

Morning sunlight spilled onto the floor of the room. The two, now awake, sat facing each other in silence, the atmosphere thick with awkwardness.

That feeling was like the formation of another massive circle of human livestock, centered around the Imperial Capital’s two prefectures, four cities, and sixteen towns.

A telepathic signal flew from Ziyan's forehead, piercing straight into Murong Cuihua's eyes. It was a map location shared via QQ, which also marked the position of the first-generation sect leader.

Having laid his cards completely on the table, the man who had been calm, collected, and even radiating an overbearing aura moments ago now appeared anxious and uneasy. It was deeply strange, yet unexpectedly, it caused the caution and astonishment that had risen in Liu Moyan's heart to dissipate.

Seeing the commotion below, Bardack was annoyed. Did these people still respect him as their big boss, arguing right in front of him like this?

Even the spiritual energy was squeezed out entirely, transformed into streams of pure power that were absorbed.

These days, the only thing that could make him this anxious was the Prince of Leisure's injuries. I struggled to climb up from the floor, broke free from the guards blocking my path, and ran inside after them.

"As expected, one shouldn't just eat people's food. See? My mouth is short of words, and my hands are tied," Wen Renya sighed silently, though her eyes were filled with smiles. Seeing her happy, Shen Xiao did not object to these people joining their journey.

"How many pieces of intelligence were sent out in total, and what was written on them?" Wei Changhe continued to ask.

Duan Jinrui was now the legitimate Crown Prince, and the Emperor had no intention of replacing him. Moreover, the Emperor had grown increasingly reliant on him lately, entrusting him with many crucial missions. Therefore, whether for emotional or practical reasons, Zhuang Liqué did not advise Duan Jinrui to take any reckless risks.

Wang Xiu’s jungler was Lee Sin. This champion can easily gain an advantage in the early game, but the opposing jungler had excellent rhythm, leaving his Lee Sin constantly led by the nose and struggling at every turn.

"What do you know? Kong Yaqian was abducted by villains and is now hiding in the home of her enemies. How could she have the face to return to the Kong family? It would be better if she died and got it over with," Mrs. Cui said, ignoring Kong Yiqing’s attempts to persuade her. In her heart, she had already branded Kong Yaqian as unclean and a harbinger of bad luck.

Pi Rixiu had truly hit the nail on the head regarding Luo Yin’s secret wish. Luo Yin wanted to return home in glory to serve as an official, but Pi Rixiu’s words were not enough to make him change his mind.

The classmates in the room began to applaud, and I could tell it was heartfelt. I felt happy, too. Pengzi and Yangzi tapped me, holding up their thumbs: "You’re really something!" Just like that, I became a model student in the class.

Back then, I had already seen that the man was arrogant by nature, with a sharp, mean-spirited look on his face.

He didn't know exactly how many assets a person like Horton possessed, but he knew that Tal’s assets in Country C were undoubtedly wealthier than a nation. The portion allocated to Horton didn't even amount to one-tenth of it. To think that the Horton Group was at least considered a third-tier company.

But as soon as the bottle cap was opened, a gust of cold wind escaped. The "water" inside transformed into a mass of black mist, which shot out with a swoosh. Amidst ghostly wails, it took the shape of a black figure, whipping up a violent, sinister gale.

A cold, sinister smile hung on Babuda's face. Just then, he saw a hand pushing toward his chest, followed by a loud "slap." A massive burst of palm power sent him flying three meters away.

"It's fine, it's fine, eat something and you'll be back to normal. You’ve spent too long in the hospital," Chang Ge said.

Ben Duo-jiro roared, raised his sword, and swung. Mou Rongtian parried with his own blade. With a "clang," the two precious swords collided, and sparks flew instantly.

Streams of power ripples radiated from his body, traversing time and space and suppressing the earth. He seemed like the master of this world, holy and immortal.

This was the topic Li Mingxu had asked about, the one he had always tried to avoid and had skillfully sidestepped. He never expected Li Mingxu to uncover it now.

Li Yuan was just about to move a chess piece when he heard a familiar voice. He turned his head, and it was a fatal mistake. One look and his soul nearly left his body; his hand trembled, the piece slipped, and with a "clatter," it fell onto the table.

News that Jia Xu had come on behalf of Liu Tianhao to deliver gifts reached Zhang Rang’s ears. Distraught and agitated, how could he have the heart to accept gifts? Just as he was about to drive him away, he suddenly remembered: weren't Feng Xu and Xu Feng killed by this Liu Tianhao? Could it be?

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?" Xun Qing was nearly driven to vomit blood. He had admitted it so easily.

The Undying Saint Emperor actually stopped, waved his hand to send Ming Tian flying seven or eight meters away, and then reached out a hand toward Lu Xia. Although that hand and those fingernails were terrifying to behold, the gesture of extending it was strangely elegant.

"I want to pick the best-looking one from these photos. When I get back to the city, I'll buy a frame, put it in, and place it on our bedside table," Lan Xingxing giggled to herself, already calculating what kind of frame would look best.

Xun Qing and Huo Shen followed the yellow trail of light into the villa complex. It was a residential area with a hundred villas built by the river. The layout and landscaping of each villa were almost identical, as they had been sold as finished properties.

Only then did Wang Kaichu realize what was happening. It was indeed as he thought: they were master and apprentice. The master was currently using a computer to professionally analyze and map out the jade, ensuring the most efficient use of the stone without wasting it.
