Volume 1, Chapter 28: Your Life Is Cursed by the Grand Duke of Jupiter; A Great Calamity Awaits You

Guided by Ren Haoran, Xuanyue approached a stone gate composed of profound arrays. Under the infusion of immense, terrifying spiritual power, the mysterious formations slowly opened, emitting waves of golden light.

"Brother Lin, please help him!" Jiang Rou, standing beside Meng Xiaoshuang, suddenly whispered.

Seeing the City Lord's current expression, the elderly man surnamed Bian stroked his beard with satisfaction, his face full of smugness. While a millennium-old spiritual herb was hard to find, trading it for that flying magical artifact would be a massive profit.

As this thought crossed his mind, Shi Yue’s body suddenly shot into the sky, flying toward the nine dragon pearls.

Although an intermediate-grade soul artifact might be considered a top-tier treasure to an average player, for Xiao He, it was somewhat lackluster at this stage.

Yet, observing the baleful energy radiating from Xuanyue and the subtle aura of slaughter, Wukong felt bewildered. How could someone who had committed such immense slaughter follow the path of righteousness? What was truly going on here?

Although the precious fan was shielded within a golden ball of light, preventing him from sensing its aura, Lin Chen could conclude just by looking at its intricate patterns that it was undoubtedly a rare and formidable treasure.

The meaning behind the words of the Divine Emperor of Flying Fire was clear: neither he nor the Divine Emperor of Frost belonged to the Xuanming Palace.

At this moment, "Big Head," his expression carrying a scientist's sagacity, bowed slightly to Ye Yu.

"Grandpa, do you know? You were a doctor once. You weren't a doctor who made poisons, were you?" Looking at Kong Yi’s amiable face, Yu Yi stuck out her tongue and teased.

"Get out of my way! If I, as his master, do not kill this arrogant wretch, where will my authority lie?" In the hands of Qionghua Sect Leader Shan Yao, the Qionghua sword flickered with endless dark light.

Xiao Ruoyao seemed long accustomed to such external gazes, so she took no notice, but Chen Lin always felt uncomfortable. To put it another way, he didn't like the way passing men stared at her fixedly, which thoroughly annoyed him.

Ilona did not answer, but the moment Sun Yuan spoke, there was a slight flicker on her face, so Sun Yuan closed his mouth and waited.

Even after using a hot towel, Dong Yu’s face remained flushed, the heat refusing to subside.

While Ye Liuli was busy questioning the meaning of life, Yun Chen and Shen Siyu had already reached Lin Chuxia’s side.

However, just as the spear-wielding Morning Glory demon’s expression softened, the ground shook violently. Every soldier was jolted by the intense tremors until their eyes blurred. A faint sound then drifted from the high ground behind them.

The group immediately nodded in understanding, then divided into teams of ten and stealthily crept toward the targets they had set before ascending the mountain.

Qin Ming rubbed against Cheng Xin’s chest, feeling somewhat unwilling. Regarding her concessions, he felt deeply indebted to her and carried a heavy heart.

After he finished speaking, everyone was left dumbfounded! What on earth was going on now?

Zhong Xiu was astonished. Could this be a Cloud Whale? It couldn't be! How could a pure, heaven-like Cloud Whale turn into this ghastly state? That was it—it had been corrupted by demonic energy.

"Then when will they intersect?" Looking from afar, the shortest distance between that curve and the horizontal line was easily over a person’s height, making my heart run cold.

"...Could it be making a nine-section whip?" The complexion of the person from the Yangtze River Delta turned ugly, guessing uncertainly. Although I didn't know what a nine-section whip was, I would bet against the sun that he had guessed wrong again.

"It’s truly impressive to be able to earn so much money at such a young age. When I was your age, I couldn't even earn two hundred yuan a month." Lin Miao wasn't teasing them; he had indeed endured great hardships when he started working after graduating high school.

The Reincarnation Peak amidst the rain and mist was wrapped in layers of clouds and vapor. From the mountainside to the summit, it pierced through at least six layers of cloud sea, standing like a giant, cloud-swallowing demonic beast on the southwestern frontier of the Divine Land.

"It isn't so easy to follow me," Su Moyu said after a moment of contemplation.

Seeing that her story had fallen apart, Yan Ying fell silent, refusing to utter another word no matter how much pressure Mother An applied to her hands.

Han Xuemei nodded and took a set of pale yellow clothes she usually wore, along with an undergarment and bodice, out of her universe bag.

One must know that reaching the top one hundred on the first attempt had never happened before, except for the monstrous geniuses who appeared when the Xuantian Ranking was first established.

"Fine." Liu Yifei chuckled, knowing that if he really forced Chu Ming to say it, it wouldn't be very fun anyway.

The military merits obtained from the enemies killed previously were insufficient to distribute, but this time, each person would receive the heads of three enemies.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled what Princess Yongping had told him. He shook his head vigorously, hating himself for his lack of self-awareness.

At first glance, he felt she might be Guo Xihe, and the people around Chen Yun had already confirmed her identity.

***

His words moved Leng Yu. This younger brother, whom he had once loathed, had voluntarily donned armor to go on an expedition to lighten his burden while he was anxious over the disaster in Mianzhou. At this moment, no matter how many mistakes he had made in the past, they all seemed trivial.

If Zhao Yingqi were to crown Liu Yuxiang as Queen, he would ensure today that she became the shortest-reigning queen since the founding of Nanyue.

Jiang Miao pulled at the corners of his mouth awkwardly, sighing helplessly as he watched Shi Ran, who was leaning in his arms and singing non-stop.

They eventually gathered in the Red Marquis State, looking for an opportunity to take revenge on everyone in the state, including the Red Marquis Mansion.

Pei Senye looked disdainful, his tone arrogant. With a forceful twist, the fat man retreated repeatedly, screaming in pain.

Yan Mingqiao only half-understood what Yan Mingyu had said, but she still nodded; whatever her Second Sister said had to be right.

After Luo Xue returned from the Prince Ming Mansion, she went straight back to the Fengyi Palace. Seeing the joy on her face, Luo Lan knew that she must have guessed the truth about Leng Ming.

If the other party was the intended buyer, it must be Hu Yang. Could Hu Yang possibly let someone else pay?

The six of them formed a "wild goose formation" once more, pursuing Xia Qian’er’s team hundreds of meters ahead.

"It’s not exactly a major issue, but I’ve been feeling uneasy in my heart and wanted to discuss it with you." Lady Lian sighed; it seemed there was more to this situation.

She hadn't expected Xie Shurao to bring it up herself today. At that moment, her gossiping heart found nowhere to settle, and she urged Xie Shurao to tell her everything in detail.

Ning Que sighed: "I wanted to excise his constitution, but it was too terrifying from the moment he was born. I had no choice but to seal it."
