Volume 1, Chapter 46: Can You Please Not Mention Her?
He was certain that there must be a passage here leading to the grand hall, which caused the orcs to pour out a massive surge of extreme yin energy the moment the hall doors opened. This place, reeking of extreme yin energy, was the true Abode of Extreme Yin, and not far away in the sky above, countless ghostly spirits drifted about.
Without a second thought, Su Ye dropped directly to his knees, his hands rapidly harvesting the dense cluster of precious medicinal herbs growing right beside his feet.
Half an hour later, Su Yang slowly withdrew all the silver needles and wiped the beads of cold sweat from his forehead. Looking back at the wounded man, his complexion had already improved dramatically, and even his originally grey and pale face now showed a hint of rudiness.
Tian Ming immediately looked in the direction of Wu Jinghong, only to find that the latter had already vanished into the sea of people.
At that instant, Zuo Menggeng experienced an illusion—that spear seemed as though it would pierce through hundreds of paces of time and space to fly right before his eyes. Chang Deng’s mutilated and bloodied body was no longer visible, and the crowd covering the mountainside seemed to be trampling over whoever happened to be underfoot. Just as the iron ring came crashing down, he fancied he had heard a crisp "clank."
Seeing this, the crowd finally realized that old Li had been talking for so long simply to buy an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Ku Xuan.
Meanwhile, Tian Ming used the Supreme Ancestral Tripod to fend off a coordinated strike from the Heavenly Tiger Demon Ancestor and the Evil Immortal Ancestor.
Throughout this process, in order to save time, Ye Feng repeatedly stepped on the glass panes with his feet, propelling his body upward at a rapid speed.
Adam glanced toward the dense bushes not far away, frowned, and then said in a deep voice.
When Zhang Daoling attained the Dao, the task given to him by Taishang Laojun was to exterminate the six major demon kings and eight major ghost generals running amok in Sichuan—it was hardly a job like searching for lost cats and dogs. And indeed, Zhang Daoling was a genius; after refining his skills through intense cultivation for a thousand days, he mastered all kinds of spells to subdue demons.
"Ladson, back then I really wasn't lying to you. Coming to this world was truly an accident, or perhaps a long-laid scheme of which I was completely unaware. I really knew nothing about it at the time, but after seeing Gu Hua recently, I finally realized that my world genuinely possesses a way to travel across to other dimensions," Lin Ai explained.
This, obviously, was not something Xu Wuyou and the others needed to concern themselves with, so it was promptly thrown to the back of their minds.
Xuanhuang saw Pengzu’s aged face suddenly blush, as if he had suddenly recalled something, and they all looked at Pengzu with smiles, remaining silent.
As soon as the two fat men brought down by Liu Danqing stepped into the private room, Lin Xiaopeng’s expression turned somewhat unsightly. Yet, the two fat men enthusiastically walked over, addressing him constantly as "Director Lin" and "straight-A student," leaving Lin Xiaopeng with no room to flare up and forcing him to let them sit on either side of him.
Zhu Can also collapsed heavily onto the ground, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot. Two strands of hair had broken free from his hair bun and were sticking out, his forehead dripping with sweat as if he had just accomplished some monumental task.
Ye Chong figured that although the Zhang family was wealthy, they were ultimately cooped up in this remote countryside, ignorant and ill-informed, and surely lacked any grand vision. Therefore, Ye Chong told them the unvarnished truth, having no fear of any strange complications arising.
The mechanical rabbit’s yellowish-brown eyes flickered. Then, lowering its head to look at the red-eyed mechanical lifeforms that had surrounded it tightly, it didn't even budge.
However, the situation with Yao Lianhan not far away was quite different. Every time Ling Hao uttered the name of a medicinal herb, Yao Lianhan’s expression grew a fraction heavier; by the time Ling Hao named the final ingredient, Yao Lianhan’s expression had turned grave to the absolute extreme.
As the eldest brother, Lu Fang played the role of both father and mother. Knowing that the fourth and fifth brothers did not get along, he arranged for them to act separately.
Upon stepping outside, the emotions she had been suppressing instantly unraveled. She lifted her chin, refusing to let herself cry, yet the tears stubbornly swirled endlessly in her eyes.
When Gu Jiujiu woke up, she heard a roaring sound and her delicate brows twitched slightly.
"I’ve locked him up, Young Master. Should we send him to the police station? That man seems to have some mental issues," Shi Lei said.
She felt immense gratification at Prince Consort Li’s astute and meticulous analysis. With such a talented and handsome scholar like Prince Consort Li here helping Empress Dowager Xiao and her own son, her son would certainly have the capability to handle everything.
"I just wanted to see what kind of reaction that girl would have. When I saw her looking so flustered, haha, it was quite amusing." Shui Shui simply couldn't help herself, nor could she find a way around it.
When family ties became the other party's capital to act with impunity, mere words ceased to hold any power over her. Very well, this was just fine.
Back then, Ye Lingyun had used this method to transmit a sound-message to Lu Donglai of the Imperial Dao Divine Sect in order to intercept Mu Bai, which ultimately led to everything that followed.
One does not realize the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until one runs a household. Ever since Long Yichen began establishing his own forces in the Central Domain, he had truly come to understand what it meant for a penny to defeat a hero. Fortunately, he possessed a system check-in feature; otherwise, he likely would have starved straight to death.
Empress Dowager Xiao’s words carried an undertone of timidity, revealing a desire to keep the Grand Princess by her side.
As for the Gu family, Song Yuyan was secretly helping manage things behind the scenes, but Gu Jiujiu's primary work remained here at the Song Corporation.
The genius classified into the first room of the Starry Temple only understood the situation superficially; compared to Yang Zaitian, the disparity was far too vast.
"How is it strange? I said it precisely for those Yu family members to hear!" Having said this, she cast an inadvertent, sideways glance at Yu Er.
Xi Xichen could only smile it off. After all, that was an elder who had shown her kindness as vast as a mountain; what could she possibly mind?
Yet now, their peerless king had walked ahead of everyone else, becoming the very first Martial God to ascend.
A casual, careless smile lingered on the corners of Murong Xian's lips as he met Ruoxin's gaze. His rolling pupils shifted like the autumn waters of a spring torrent, his phoenix eyes faintly bewitching. Ruoxin gazed deeply into the depths of his eyes, only to find the ruthless killing intent hidden within growing even more bone-chilling.
