Volume 1, Chapter 21: The Remnant Forces of the Xiao Clan

The two soldiers holding me were about to drag me off to be executed by the fire-branding torture when Nezha flew over, hovering above my head and extending his hand to me. I reached up, and he pulled me to my feet, then we flew back toward the Dragon King Temple on his Wind Fire Wheels. Meanwhile, the Earth Deity and Huang Feihu returned to the temple by traveling through the earth.

The elderly Taoist Yuxu, who had been in seclusion, suddenly emerged. Only after Xu Huai asked did he learn that he had encountered a bottleneck and could no longer progress.

A Yaksha heiress—isn't that just a female ogre? Everyone knows Yakshas are hideous to look at. And it is a marriage for the Yaksha heiress, not her leaving to be wed. One can only imagine how truly ugly she must be. Could it be that Xuan Lei is the one intended to marry her?

The entire Li family had by now finished organizing the spoils of war obtained from the Five Parasol Peaks, waiting only for time to fully integrate them.

"Sect Leader Bai, you are joking again. Perhaps it is merely a fabrication. There is no need for you to take it so seriously." Ling Nian smiled faintly, and Yu Li realized she had been somewhat indiscreet.

Pei Heng woke up as soon as he smelled the herbal scent. He glanced at Chu Jing and downed the medicine in the bowl as if it were nothing but cold water. Seeing that he did not even furrow his brow, Chu Jing truly wondered if the medicine wasn't bitter at all.

Upon reaching the backyard, one was greeted by a spacious training ground. The floor was paved with stone bricks, and wooden stakes, weapons racks, and war drums were all neatly arranged.

A moment later, I slowly opened my eyes again. This time, the scene before me was bright. I could finally see this place, and I realized I had taken the form of a blue bird. It turned out that in the netherworld, my soul revealed its true essence. I then used my inner energy to transform myself back into human form.

Although Song Teng spoke this way, he raised his cup and took a drink without ceremony, smacking his lips afterward as if savoring the lingering taste.

"William, you must understand that we are both trusted confidants of the Viscount. Since the Viscount has made these arrangements, we need only follow them; there is no need for any other dissenting voices."

Pulling her thoughts back, Murong Qiao'er focused on the present. She discovered she had arrived in a wondrous space, empty and seemingly infinite in all directions, yet it felt as if she were confined to a certain area by some invisible energy barrier.

However, he did not fare much better. He slammed into the wall with a thud, nearly rattling his entire body apart. Yan Haoning had helped him, but she had intentionally added extra force as punishment for his disobedience. It was a case of settling personal scores under the guise of official business, and Xi Feng could only suffer in silence.

"Mother, this place is not suitable for a long stay. Have you reached the Tiangang Realm?" Shen Aotian asked urgently.

This roar truly worked. Everyone realized the gravity of the situation, so they did not revert from their transformed states but looked toward Kamp, ready to follow his command.

Subconsciously, as soon as I raised my hand, I felt myself flying into mid-air. A sweetness rose in my chest, and a mouthful of hot blood sprayed out uncontrollably.

In the imperial capital of the Snow Kingdom, a report arrived early in the morning from the border city, stating that General Fu had led troops to attack Lan City without authorization, only to fall into an enemy trap and suffer severe injuries.

"I can spare you, but I can't let you go just like that. How about this? If you can make me laugh, and I am pleased, I will spare you!" Lin Tian looked at the yellow-haired man and said.

Those eerie red eyes—a color that clearly should have been highly unnatural—looked so fitting on his face, as if he were born that way. These were eyes truly like no other, and Hao Dong suddenly understood why Qi Jue wore that baseball cap all year round, pulling the brim down very low.

"We'll talk in the car!" Xia Yongning took his hand and walked away; she hadn't even noticed that their holding hands had become quite natural lately.

Therefore, her first priority was to look for high-paying jobs, and no matter how exhausting the work was, she was willing to do it!

Fortunately, her blush had not been discovered. After listening to Dong Jie’s words, Lin Feng felt a secret sense of relief in his heart.

Within a range of several dozen miles, as soon as the Holy Relic appeared, the three other relics of the same origin would sense it and emit regular, subtle fluctuations of vital energy.

He wore a faint smile at the corners of his mouth as he walked outside without looking back. Ice-cold eyes watched his departing silhouette, and a cold snort escaped through her nose.

The boss's massive body fell directly to the ground, making intimate contact with the earth, and a large damage number floated up instantly.

"Don't panic! Take it slow, calm your mind. Everything will be fine; your master is here to shoulder it for you!" Seeing Lin Sheng in such a state, Master Jue knew that the more anxious Lin Sheng became, the less he would be able to split his internal energy in a short time. He immediately sent a voice transmission to remind him, while already preparing to step in and withstand the heavenly tribulation.

Liu Jing asked herself: during the days Lin Feng had been missing, she had done nothing but worry about him, let alone do anything to harm him or make him feel averse to her.

The coalition to exterminate the demon race had wiped out most of the Yanhuang cultivation forces. As part of that group, the Great Qin and the Lingyu Sect should have stood together against the common enemy. However, at this very moment, they knew clearly that there were priorities; after all, the demon race was also a part of Yanhuang, while the devil race was the mortal enemy of the Yanhuang lineage.

Accompanied by Mu En's roar and the creaking sound of the 'Gate of Miracles' opening, a figure stepped out from the gate first, followed closely by three more shadows.

Thirty Sword Emperors—this was merely the hidden power of the Hai family. Adding their dozen or so Sword Emperors in the open, a single family possessed over forty Sword Emperors; this was truly terrifying.

I came here precisely because I saw that there were people in this novice village; there must be something here that I need.

The Taiyi Guarantee and Loan Company was currently ostensibly managed by both Le Zeying and Yu Youtai. In reality, however, Yu Youtai’s focus was not on this company, and Le Zeying had previously thrown up her hands, refusing to manage anything. Zhuo Ledeng had become the person the company relied on most.
