Volume 1, Chapter 46: Lu Yanzhi, why are you here?

"Just say that five years ago, Fu Lingzhou murdered a girl named Wang Xue. Her body is hidden under the stone bridge in the back mountain of Qiaosha Town, and the murder weapon is buried right beside the willow tree near the stone bridge. Use your connections to have the police investigate. It would be best if Fu Lingzhou gets locked up and can never come out."

"Go ahead."

Shen Wanyu sighed; surely there must still be some lingering discomfort in Yushui's heart. Regardless of whether Madam Luo had recognized her or not, this entire ordeal had deeply hurt her.

Shi Kai even felt the impulse to break through the biting ice for one final glimpse of the bright moon, but in the end, he refrained from doing so. The bright moon was already gone; why should he still go and disturb her?

Everyone was paralyzed with terror. Having exhausted all his stamina from his previous fierce attack, Lei Ao was no longer able to use his superpowers to fight back, and could only watch helplessly as the colossal beast launched its assault against them.

"Xinlan, what are you doing? Scolding Qingyan again?" Qinghe demanded angrily, gritting her teeth as she questioned her.

A flash of blood cut through the air as no fewer than five disciples had their throats pierced by the chilling light, instantly silencing them forever. Yet, the skin of three other disciples was unimaginably tough; the cold iron needles had barely pierced half an inch into their necks before being abruptly blocked, unable to advance even a fraction further.

Later on, together with Huang Tian and Huang Mei, they abducted Yuqiao along with her two personal maidservants, casting all of them into the underground dungeon.

"I see, no wonder you are so well-informed. Then what could their purpose be in showing up this time?" Sudden realization dawned upon me. So the vampire clan had a mysterious force supporting them from behind the scenes, though their ultimate objective remained a mystery.

Xia Lixin closed her mouth and deactivated her superpower. After a long moment, the two detectives finally recovered from their overwhelming nausea and dizziness.

"Whoosh!" Terrifying flames suddenly surged from the red crystal fragment. Although it was only a palm-sized patch, the horrifying heat instantly filled the entire palace. Even Ruan Fei, a mighty expert who had received the Imperial Phoenix's Blazing Blood, was forced to retreat step after step by the scorching wave.

Naturally, they would fight alongside the Whitebeard Pirates to resist the Marines. After all, their friend would be upon the execution platform at that time. Whether to maintain the balance of power or to rescue their comrade, that battle was one they simply had to fight.

A terrible premonition arose in Yu Rui's heart. He pressed the first button, but the anticipated roaring explosion failed to materialize. His expression changed drastically, and he immediately pressed the second, third, and fourth buttons in succession, yet none of them produced the slightest sound.

Inside a shop by the edge of the square, the owner and his clerks huddled in a corner, trembling with fear. A short, plump man sat by the window, gazing at the churning sea of heads in the square, while his subordinate behind him spoke up.

In that case, let Ren Hai make his own choice. If he asked for too little, that would be ideal; if he asked for too much, she could simply refuse, and it would also serve as a test of Ren Hai's position in his own mind.

Puff! Sharp, cruel claws plunged deep into her shoulders, sinking relentlessly into her flesh and blood. The excruciating agony, akin to being skinned and deboned alive, forced a sharp, miserable groan from Hu Ximei.

Trapped within the cocoon of forbidden magic, the Sovereign of Northern Darkness, Beiming Xuanzun, could never have anticipated such an outcome when he first set out to hunt down Lian Haiping. Superior to Lian Haiping in every conceivable aspect, how could he possibly have been captured by a mortal realm cultivator? The whole affair was utterly bizarre; no one would ever believe it even if word spread.

Of course, Li Yang had found several islands of this nature, but the fundamental reason that ultimately drove him to choose this specific island as his secluded cultivation retreat was that a unique species of crab inhabited these shores.

Clang, clang, clang! A rapid succession of blade impacts rang out, and the sparks generated by the sheer force of the saber aura were scattered by the wind into a dazzling, brilliant spectacle. Amidst the sounds of shouting and slashing, only three blurred human figures could be glimpsed flashing within the blinding glare of the blades.
