Chapter 49

Imperial Prince Di Ang of Yuanhao said with a stirring, passionate tone, and the million-strong army behind him also let out waves of roars that were deafening and echoed throughout the entire Cloud Mountain Range.

The monster looked as though it lacked flesh entirely; beneath its skin was filth, and within the filth were wrapped bones. All other tissues, such as nerves and muscles, were completely nonexistent.

"As soon as you arrive, you hear Team Leader cursing me to die. How truly unlucky," Wu Heng said with a familiar, bantering smile.

Li Mengmeng had always been a composed person. In Yan Xue's impression, Li Mengmeng had only lost her temper and gone wild a few times, and every single one of those times was related to her—either she had been bullied, or something else had happened.

However, he did not notice that right where Song Jiuyue had just inserted both hands into the soil, the faint shape of an arrowhead was visible.

For in the red earth and yellow sands, there were only two things to be found: the first was precious medicinal herbs, and the second was spirit beasts. Among these precious medicinal herbs, there was one kind that could drive ghost cultivators frantic with desire, and that was the Undying Grass.

He could see his attack being neutralized by an invisible barrier, disappearing just like a droplet of water merging into a larger pool of water.

Bai Ye remained indifferent as before. Possessing Gu Fan's blood, even if he lost limbs or suffered broken bones, he could be healed. Yet, he had no wish to expose his physical flaws in front of everyone, leaving him with no choice but to think of another way.

Zhao Mingjing rode his horse all the way to a secluded tavern. He loved to quietly order a pot of wine and slowly savor the taste hidden within the liquor.

This aloof passenger was none other than Organoid Number One, Cogan, who had made up his mind to escape the city of Malay.

Darryl stared intently at the unceasingly piercing tree roots and discovered a strange phenomenon. Whenever the tips of the roots touched the body of the rock ghost, the rock on its surface would instantly turn soft, as fragile as tofu. Because of this, let alone tree roots, even a piece of firewood could easily pierce right through it.

Threads of blood instantly exploded across a radius of a thousand miles. Countless people widened their eyes in disbelief, staring fixedly at the snowy plum blossom-like wound that had appeared on their own chests.

"A soldier earns four daric gold coins a month, and you—twenty daric gold coins a month," Herolys said, fixing his gaze on Daivus.

The Roc's words left Moyang utterly baffled. The grand demon before him was ruthless and cold-blooded, showing no mercy even to his own kind, killing without hesitation. Yet at this moment, he was in no rush to kill him at all, instead speaking of inconsequential matters.

Thinking along these lines, most people's hearts felt much less resistant. They then followed Baili Dengfeng's "orders" one after another, discussing it just as they had before.

As shouts calling out the name of Camillus continually echoed through the assembly hall, Muginensis, who had always held opinions at odds with Portitus, maintained his silence.

Early the next morning, Sili brought a few pieces of metals in various colors to Darryl's home. Upon entering and seeing Darryl with two dark rings under his eyes, looking as though he had pulled an all-night battle, she could not help but feel extremely surprised.

A massive bloody hole instantly appeared in the Ice Frost Dragon's chest, leaving even its heart exposed to the outside.

She gently caressed the throne, which looked as though it had been cast from black gold, seemingly reminiscing about past glories. After a long moment, she sat straight down upon it.

"I know that the cuisine of Thurii is very famous, but unfortunately, I do not have a chef who knows how to prepare Thurii's delicacies. I hope these dishes are to your satisfaction," Philistus said to Ansitalos.

Clearly, seeing Chen Ran unconscious and harboring murderous intent was not just Black Hawk; his subordinates, such as the scar-faced man and the others, also felt murderous intent in their hearts. Exchanging a glance, they all simultaneously looked toward Black Hawk, guessing that with just a single look from Black Hawk, they would rush forward and finish Chen Ran off.

Chen Ran looked in extreme astonishment at the circles of colorless, transparent ripples spreading out before him. Everything, absolutely everything here, was identical to the scene he had witnessed in that place he entered just moments before. What shocked him the most was the very source of these ripples.

Xu Yichen vaguely felt that something was amiss. A priest waved both hands. Ye Feng instinctively cast a barrier spell first. But this fell right into Xie Feng's trap.

"At this point, I'd rather they just got on with usurping the throne or staging a rebellion. With things drawn like a bowstring for so long, being stretched taut, it always makes those of us on the sidelines worry about being caught in the crossfire—hanging in mid-air like this is thoroughly uncomfortable," Ran Yan sighed.

"Old master, to be honest with you, I am indeed planning to collect a complete set of the Kangxi-era blue-and-white polychrome Twelve Flower Goddess cups. Do you think there's any hope?" Hearing Old Master Bai's advice, Chen Ran nodded noncommittally, yet suddenly spoke up with an unhurried and composed demeanor.

"Hehe, I suppose Your Highness does not know that Lu Ya is not a being of this universe and is not bound by the rules of this universe. This is something the several Divine Sovereigns of the God Realm and Primordial Chaos Emperor Pangu all know," Lu Ya gave a dry laugh, his face immediately falling.

The First Madam looked exceedingly pleased at her joyous appearance, stating that as long as she took good care of the young master, she would surely be heavily rewarded.

That Amu recognized him did not come as a surprise to Chu Tian. After all, the technique he had just used to fling Li Amu away was indeed Tai Chi; if Amu still failed to recognize it, Chu Tian would probably have walked over and beaten Li Amu up all over again.

For he knew very well that if Situ Xian remained in the City of Freedom, it would only bring courting death upon herself and Qingqing! With Chu Tian's present strength, he was simply incapable of helping Situ Xian.

The red-haired old man sighed. He knew that even after hearing about his relationship with Xingtian, Bai Ge had spoken those words, meaning he certainly would not spare him simply because of that connection. If Bingfeng's body and soul had truly been utterly destroyed, Bai Ge would definitely not let him off, and might even make him experience calamities beyond his imagination.

Waiting until the search party had passed, Feng Yong finally emerged, casually finding a tea stall to drink tea while gathering information.

I thought to myself: What too busy? It was clearly because I had angered the Emperor, and he knew his act could no longer be kept up, which is why he didn't come. Yet she actually explained it as being too busy. I truly wonder if she said that on purpose to mock me, or if she genuinely was unaware of the truth.

After exchanging a few more words, the two of them each hailed a taxi and headed in opposite directions.

"No, nothing happened!" Covered in bruised lumps from being stepped on, he still flashed a grin and gave a thumbs-up to Lin Yingbin.

King Yu looked at me calmly, his dangerous eyes narrowing into slits, shooting out a sharp beam of light.

If you go and speak of this matter now, it will be completely in vain. No one will thank you, and no one will praise you; everyone will simply think you are a fool. They might even suspect your motives and wonder why on earth you are doing this.
