Chapter 25

As Uncle Hou was chatting leisurely with Xia Yuan, someone approached from outside the door. This person was unlike ordinary folk; he carried a faint air of murderous intent, a quality that an average person could never possess.

The courtyard was deep and secluded, interspersed with beautiful trees. Outside the elegant chamber, by the flowing stream and stone bridge, a few verdant magnolia trees were in full bloom, their snowy white petals fresh and delicate. Under the light of the morning sun, the scene exuded an elegant and tranquil charm.

The youth had a delicate face and clear eyes, yet his indifferent expression occasionally betrayed a hint of weariness. His gait was heavy and his breathing slightly labored, as if he had traveled a great distance.

"Where is Marquis Qin Wu?" Chu Yuan asked in a hoarse voice. Only Marquis Qin Wu, who had reached the Half-Immortal Realm, could offer him any confidence at this moment.

The Ice Frost Spider on his shoulder, however, did not seem pleased. Perhaps due to the strong fire element in this place—being a creature that cultivated primarily through the water element—it felt suppressed and was quite unreceptive to the surrounding atmosphere.

In the end, humans are biological beings, and the primary tenet of any biological being is survival. In the face of survival, gentlemanly conduct is nothing but nonsense.

The sound vibrated, leaving the eardrums of everyone present buzzing. Yang Hao also sensed a ferociously intense aura, like a maddened beast roaring.

The entire hundred-meter-long corridor was shattered, with countless striking cracks spreading out. A sky-filling dust storm swept through the passage, yet Yang Hao remained entirely unaffected, purple light surging within his deep pupils.

In the second ten thousand years, Jiang Dongyu began to learn not only the immortal arts of the Eastern Wilderness but also those of the Central Plains, the Northern Nether, and the Southern Barbarians. The only exception was the Western Regions; since the monks of the Western Regions had been taken away by the Buddha four billion years ago in the Hell Calendar, there was no one from the Western Regions in the Boundless Realm at that time.

"What is the use of the Void Immortal Spring? Did the Emperors Yan and Huang ever obtain it?" Even Ye Feng showed a look of astonishment this time.

"Sigh... It is my fault that you fellow Daoists missed out on such a supreme treasure as the Infinite Pagoda. I am truly sorry." Tai Xuan sighed, his face filled with self-reproach.

Huo Yunsheng pondered for a moment. Recalling that his life had just been saved by Li Hangzhen, and having already fought against people from other worlds, he realized there was no longer a need to keep certain secrets from him.

"Great King, could it be that Cao Cao intends to use the Wuhuan people to launch a sneak attack on our tribe while you are away?" Before Cha'erhan could finish, his general, Lardo, saw his expression change instantly.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor had developed a deep sense of wariness toward Ling Tian. Ling Tian’s existence posed a massive threat to the Demon race; thus, for whatever reason, Ling Tian had to die.

Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly at Feng Ji's scheme, eventually showering him with praise, without a shred of guilt toward Han Fu.

However, just as I stepped outside to light a cigarette, Yang Chan called me back in to clean up her mess.

The man above the clouds, dressed in cloud-white robes, wore a rare look of confusion and gravity. As soon as his words fell, several powerhouses from the Cloud Kingdom behind him moved in unison.

One strike shattered the Alien Demon Armor, yet the Mad Demon also used the armor's power to cling to his life.

In the vivid holographic projection, Bai Wei was scurrying through the room, stark naked. In her panic, she lost all composure, exposing everything that should and should not have been seen. Her devilish figure was on full display. Even watching it now, Ye Xiu remained dazed, his throat parched.

However, this method of attack was difficult to succeed with, a major reason being the constant formation of ice walls in the vicinity—a highly effective defensive measure.

She might be bad at other things, but she believed her judgment of people was sound. A girl as simple and lovely as Xin'er could never be the type to steal someone else's boyfriend. If there was any stealing involved, it would be President Lu forcibly taking her because he found her cute.

At this moment, Zhang Yiming, working in the China Merchants Tower in the capital, was filled with envy. Watching that fellow Shang Fuhai pull off another master-level marketing stunt, he realized that a simple campaign had boosted the cumulative download count of the Paike short-video app by 20 percent.

"Tianci, it's fortunate that I still have you. Even if the whole world betrays me, at least I have my son." Leng Zhongzhou saw hope in Leng Tianci.

"You should go work as a business manager at the South City Branch." Leng Zhongzhou had already thought this through and arranged everything clearly for her as well.

Just as the online discourse was in an uproar, someone suddenly discovered that the tickets for Shen Mubei's concert that day were already sold out.

Long Piaopiao's previously smiling expression froze instantly. Clever as she was, how could she not understand what Song Yaqin meant?

An Qi watched as Gu Leichen reluctantly carried Piggy Mengmeng inside, and she said this on purpose.

After all, he possessed the Scholar System; whose scholar level was higher was naturally clear at a glance. However, such things were indeed impossible to verify. Especially with someone as young and arrogant as Peng Yibo, unless someone were significantly more powerful than him, he would never bow his head in submission.

Caroline did this on purpose. She wanted Xia Zuo to see Jasmine's painful expression. Jasmine, held by the throat and lifted before Xia Zuo by Caroline, was undoubtedly enduring immense suffering.

Even so, Liu Manman could only absorb about one-third of the energy from the lean meat, while the remaining two-thirds vanished completely into the air.

The divide between the two groups was stark: the larger group was dressed in colorful, ornate clothing and possessed great numbers, while those surrounded in the middle wore standard new recruit uniforms, with only a flying eagle emblem embroidered on their chests.

Suddenly, Mo Ke's sea of energy vibrated as if something had shattered. The bottleneck of the Second-Tier Foundation Building Realm was broken, and he officially stepped into the level of the Second-Tier Foundation Building Realm.

As a large professional auction house, tactical cards were among the items they frequently auctioned. To verify their authenticity, they had established specialized card-verification rooms where they could examine items together with the clients.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have gone out under these circumstances." Ashe walked back into the room and closed the door. She would be grateful for this wise move in the future.

"No, no! We would never dare to disturb you, Big Brother, ever again!" Baldy Qiang hurriedly said with a mournful face.
