Volume 1, Chapter 33: The Second Day of the Second Lunar Month

Shen Qingdai felt a jolt of alarm, but she forcibly suppressed her shock and met the various curious gazes directed at her from around the banquet hall.

Lan Yanxi leaned back against her chair with an air of enjoyment, her eyes lazily narrowed as she let the man’s fingers wander through her hair.

"Even if he was before, he won't be in the future. If he dares to sell me out again, I’ll kill him myself!" Lan Weiwei gritted her teeth in resentment.

"The Nine Heavens Spirit Spring, starting bid, five hundred medium-grade spirit stones!" Qingya said with a faint, elegant smile.

Moreover, the lizard was not as formidable as Mu Jingxu. It was wounded in the abdomen by the insects midway, and their claws were venomous. Mu Jingxu attempted to treat it with the antidote they had brought, but it proved ineffective.

Furthermore, a week after Hong Feng returned from his business trip, he went straight to his office and was busy handling matters at hand when Chen Lifen walked straight in.

Thinking this to herself, Cheng Ye remained silent, tilting her head to see how Wu Yinan would respond to Chen Lifen.

She had swung the blade, but in an instant, smoke billowed. Senior Sister Zhang let out a cry of joy, only to feel her strength vanish; momentum caused her blade to slam violently into the flat ground of the island, nearly making her stumble.

Therefore, the most critical issue now was that even though he knew this was a trap, the Grand Preceptor had already jumped in. Perhaps he felt that as a representative of the moderate faction, he was meant to maintain peace and prosperity between the two nations, and the people of the Ming Dynasty would not want him to die on their soil. Thus, he was not worried and was even willing to act as bait.

Zhao Kuo knew very well that if he could recruit Xu Feng for the school basketball team, the day Nanjing Normal University would become the league champion was drawing near.

Wang Antian was naturally aware of the current situation. He nodded in agreement and immediately summoned a pair of war hammers. As his internal energy circulated throughout his body, his cultivation at the second level of the True Origin Realm erupted. The two war axes emitted a ghostly green light, and an intense fighting spirit radiated from him.

Although the spirit fruit wine was excellent, it was not enough to make Yuan Haichan travel thousands of miles to bring Chen Qingyang here from Haicheng.

Zhao Yu slowly climbed to his feet with a wicked grin on his face. Although he had suffered many injuries, his aura was no weaker than Xing Haichen’s.

"I shall not accompany you into the backyard, Madam. You may take this pill first, and once the effects take hold, you may proceed. Madam, please go inside the building to wait for a moment!" Wu Qiong stopped before the gate to the backyard and pointed to the three-story wooden building nearby, which contained dozens of rooms.

He had yet to figure out what circumstances had made Sikong Zhuo willing to stay here. He had investigated, and the man was not being controlled mentally.

The two high-level demon generals seemed eager to take flight, yet, as if wary of something, they never truly soared. They merely flapped their wings a few times to accelerate their running.

"Boom!" Another sound echoed, this time so intense that it caused gravel and sand to shower down from the walls of the deep pit. It was as if the pit itself were on the verge of collapsing.

"However, it seems you have learned a very unique technique, resulting in a mass of extreme Yang energy hidden within your dantian. Yet, this energy is remarkably docile. Strange, truly strange." The old Daoist stroked his goat-like beard again, looking perplexed.

Zhao Yu paid no heed to such things. He had already swallowed an entire bottle of Qi-Recovery Pills, yet he still could not shake the fierce beasts behind him. At times, he was even forced to take detours just to avoid the beasts ahead.

In the first district of the Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Spirit King designated a residential area for Jiang Yu; from then on, this would be his private territory.
