Volume One, Chapter 37: A Sword Soars Like an Immortal, Nangong Poisoned

"Heh heh heh? Just how many Soul Hall elders do you eat for a meal?"

Upon hearing this eerie cackle from the Great Elder of the Xu family, Cao Mo’s panic instantly vanished. He brandished his imperial sword once more, declaring, "If you want to kill me, you’ll have to see if you have the capability to do so..."

"This boy is quite the monster; we must all strike together!"

Lin Xiao sent out a mental command, and the Heaven-Swallowing Python immediately reverted to its adorable form, curling up motionless on his shoulder. Yet, its eyes darted incessantly toward the people around them. Seeing their nervous expressions—some even trembling uncontrollably—Lin Xiao realized his show of power had achieved its intended effect, and he offered an awkward smile.

"That goes without saying, because we have always been mortal enemies! Mortal enemies!" Uncle Howard spat harshly, emphasizing the words "mortal enemies" with heavy spite.

The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became. Ai Jia fumbled for her phone again, frantically dialing Ai Qi’s number with trembling hands.

E Jingbai struck a fierce blow to E Mingqiu’s abdomen, but his own shoulder was sliced open by Sui Dao, and he was sent crashing to the ground by a kick from E Mingqiu.

Under normal circumstances, seeing Nan Jinfeng should have been a joyful occasion, but at this moment, she could not muster any happiness. Especially after hearing him ask, "Do you have any idea how worried Ai Jia was about you?" her heart sank even further.

The third matter was that they were both participating in the chaotic fray, and their brother, Qiu Fanzu, was also coming to Donglai City to take part in the carnage!

"Do you really have to go to the auction tomorrow?" Xu Shiyang asked, unable to hide his concern.

Zhu Mengtian was never one to be quiet. Zong Shaoxian had tried sneaking into his room while he slept in the past, but Zhu Mengtian was always sharp; he would wake the moment anyone entered, sometimes even intentionally scaring Zong Shaoxian.

At this moment, the old man’s face was etched with gravity and deep trepidation, his tone filled with utmost respect. To possess a ferocious beast that surpassed the Spirit Master realm, the boy must be the descendant of a super-powerful family or a peerless expert; otherwise, who could possibly tame such a formidable companion?

A cursory glance revealed that Rex’s current state could hardly be called "fine." He looked neither human nor ghost, appearing just like a zombie straight out of a horror film. It sounded harsh, but it was the truth.

"Even the spirit stones circulating in the markets of Youliang City are running low. Where else could he possibly get his hands on them?" Uncle Xiang asked, perplexed.

Just then, Lin Chenmu’s phone rang again. It was a completely unfamiliar number. After a moment of hesitation, he answered it.

Calming the excitement in his heart, Liu Zhe began to weave through every stone platform in the East District, examining each one carefully and cautiously, determined not to overlook a single one.

Some netizens, failing to snatch the names of the main characters, went on to register the names of secondary characters mentioned in the first chapter, such as Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Grandmaster Yideng, and Huang Yaoshi. Some even went as far as registering the two giant eagles that accompanied Guo Fu.

Lin Xiao was stunned. Could it be otherwise? If this wasn't enough to kill him, what other methods could possibly work?

"Mm, I’ll remember that," Liu Feifei said with a look of firm resolve. Seeing Lin Feng today, she felt even more determined not to let him go to anyone else.

Lin Can’s mouth had gone dry after talking for so long, but mere empty descriptions were simply not enough to convince his parents.

After traveling for a while, Wuyi gradually felt his spiritual energy begin to circulate and replenish. It felt like passing through a soft, misty rain; at first, it seemed as though it neither dampened his hair nor soaked his clothes, but the gentle moisture was absorbed silently, and his parched streams began to sing once more.

"Minister Qin, I don’t expect to catch this thief, but I must buy time for Lin Feng. If he can develop a new product, the formula for Jade Skin won't matter anymore. If you truly care about the future of Tianfang, then please, just stay here quietly," Fang Qingxue said sternly.
