Volume 1, Chapter 67: Surprise

"I'll speak!"

The core members of the Wang family hurriedly recovered from their terror, kowtowing one after another to beg for mercy!

Among them was Wang Taiyuan's son, Wang Hongjie!

At this moment, terrified and shaken by Lin Yu's immense power,

he no longer possessed the arrogance and confidence he had shown earlier while confronting Zhou Lei!

"You?"

Lin Yu glanced at him. "I just killed your father. Don't you feel any grief? You still want to curry favor with me?"

Wang Hongjie forced out a smile, his face still dripping with flattery.

"It was my father who was blind and offended a mighty being. He got what he deserved!"

"Furthermore, being able to serve a mighty being is the supreme honor of my lifetime!"

"I, Wang Hongjie, am willing to follow the mighty being through fire and water, even if it means acting as a—"

In an instant, violent winds roared across the entire venue, resembling an approaching tsunami. A massive amount of sand and gravel was whipped up from the ground, and several lower-cultivation martial artists were even sucked into the vortex by the tremendous suction force.

"Forget it, forget it. That final test was actually something I added on extra; you've already passed all seven genuine trials, so this time we'll count it as a success," the master sighed once again. Ever since he met Xuanyuan Beidou, he had acted completely out of character.

Recalling that strange, surging mass of metallic slime gave him goosebumps all over his body.

Even if they managed to break through to the Heavenly Realm by their own strength in the future, who knew how long it would take? By the time their strength reached the Heavenly Realm, there was no telling how much San Yan's power would have grown.

The Great King had instructed her repeatedly when she set out to take good care of the princess. It would be troublesome if anything happened to the princess. However, thinking that they were guests here, she figured no one would likely make things difficult for Helian Dada, which eased her mind a bit.

In the entire Heavenly Realm, the most dangerous entity for outsiders was the Master of the Heavenly Realm who presided over Crystal Heaven, the Heavenly Father of the angels, followed by Gabriel, who held the office of protection, and Michael, who held the office of combat.

In his past life, he might have held such a mindset, but now, he was much more willing to spend his time accompanying his family.

"Judging by Liao Yanjun's attitude when speaking to Ye Tian, it doesn't look like he helped Ye Tian; rather, it's more like..." A male student trailed off, leaving his sentence unfinished.

Lin Jinrong, dressed in a custom-tailored suit, and Li Mingzhu, wearing a light purple backless gown, sat inside a luxury stretch limousine.

Observing his expression, Wu Bai curled the corners of his mouth upward. It seemed he had already attempted to contact the Divine Realm, and the results were less than satisfactory.

Although it was called a hotel, the interior had been almost completely stripped bare. Aside from the bed frames and mattresses—wait, not even mattresses, just bare wooden boards—even the curtains had been torn down, leaving the place completely empty.

No one liked being a prostitute, and even less did anyone willingly lower themselves; it was simply the way of the world, a matter of helpless desperation.

A troubled look crossed the face of the Yang family steward, because tomorrow was the birthday of Lady Princess, who was extremely busy right now, and his master had not yet returned from the magistrate's office.

Chen Lin sat cross-legged among the crowd in an inconspicuous spot, diligently copying down the knowledge he had just heard.

As for Kang Jingyu, he took half a step forward when Zhou Yunshu lifted her veil, his eyes narrowing slightly as he caught a clear look of her face.

Wu Yue knew her son had been found the moment Chunque returned to the courtyard to report. There had been no chance on the way, but now, as soon as the carriage stopped, she instantly rushed out from her vehicle to Zhou Yunshu and the others' carriage to check on Zhou Yunjiar.

I immediately said, "Xu开泰 first opened a position to short the horse merchants, and then used false promises to swindle away the operational rights for nearly one-fifth of the company's founding shares."

Therefore, he harbored no ambitions whatsoever, nor did he believe for a moment that he could contend against Dong Tianwu, who held the mandate of heaven.

However, compared to Sengoku Kazuki who defected from the ninja village for just a single reason, Orochimaru could be said to have been thoroughly heartbroken by Sarutobi Hiruzen when he chose to defect.

The reason they were able to cross the river safely while carrying a pheasant was probably because Mei Qing had been saved by a pheasant in the past. Working backward from this, the formation of this deadly forbidden zone might perhaps be the handiwork of Mei Qing's ghost.

Hu Duo'er watched with intense anxiety, unconsciously tightening her grip on Yang Yi's arm. Yang Yi likewise knew that Hong Yun's situation was becoming perilous, but he had no intention of rescuing him right this moment.

Suddenly, Benben, perched behind Zhuo Jingxuan, spread its wings and took flight, transforming back into a massive flying magic dragon and engaging the strange beast in battle.

A moment later, as if regulating his breathing, Uchiha Shin let out a loud roar toward the large pillar.

The river water in April and May was piercingly cold. Wei Yu felt fortunate that he was a fish and wouldn't find the water temperature too low. But the moment he regained his human form, he felt the water was simply freezing.

This He family was the one that had a land dispute with the Ye family. The He family's matron had a fairly good relationship with Mao Hehua, and the two families hadn't broken off contact because of that incident.

Upon hearing this, the group harbored various thoughts. They had all heard of the great reputation of Xiaoyao Island. Having been very active in the Primeval World for some time, it was well-known to everyone. They all knew there was a powerful supreme expert on the island who had survived two tribulations and was a rare and formidable cultivator in the Primeval World.

This person actually had the ability to evade the calculations of other saints, showing that his personal strength far surpassed theirs. Moreover, as the Human Ancestral Teacher, without his nod of approval, it would be difficult for the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to be acknowledged by the human race.

Chu Nan scratched his head. From beginning to end, Murphy never asked him how he managed to keep this matter from her. While this spared him some awkwardness, the lack of trust inherent in it was crystal clear; even if unsaid, the inner awkwardness remained.

Looking at the smoking, dust-churning crater where occasional electric arcs still crackled, everyone felt a chill run down their spines! Under such devastatingly powerful lightning, who could possibly survive?

"Going to the yamen is fine, but before that, let's wander around the surroundings first. Perhaps we might stumble upon unexpected gains," Yu Mixing said with a smile, taking a graceful sip of tea.

"Goodness! My idol! I'm going to ask for her signature!" Chiba Ren cried out excitedly as he left his seat and sprinted toward the elevator.

Being a maid in the Prince's Mansion was no simple task. As for etiquette, everyone had to study it, and even Hua Shangxue, who had yet to decide on her path, could not escape these etiquette lessons.

Qiao Muqiu, however, was different. He was honored as a current Duke of the Realm, wielding immense power over the court. Once he made his stance clear, it would undoubtedly deal a massive shock to the current political landscape.

The naval forces attempting to block them were knocked to the ground effortlessly by Luffy and the others without exception, failing to stall the Straw Hat crew for any significant length of time.

Fortunately, she only made patrols during her free time and then left. If she had to stay here day in and day out, witnessing everything firsthand, Lanxi felt her death wouldn't be far off.

Feeling his gentleness and focus at that moment, Lanxi felt a sense of bewilderment. She was finally seeing this side of him again—which side of him was the real one? Could it be that every time she found herself falling for this side of him, he would suddenly reappear with that hateful side?

"If you dare to meddle, I'll kill Divine Leaf!" A chilling voice bypassed everyone present and exploded directly beside the Moon Priestess.

The Dark Forest wasn't actually dark; viewed from a realistic perspective, it was simply a lush primeval forest. The reason for its name was that centuries ago, the sealed Master of the Nightmare Cult had been imprisoned deep within the forest.

After emerging from the City Lord's Mansion, Xia Tian next went to look for Wang Zhongkai, but failed to find him. His family's residence had already passed into the hands of someone else.
