Volume 1, Chapter 156: Just Wanted to See Her

No one expected Mo Xingyuan to show up.

Having not seen him for nearly ten days, Su Li was somewhat taken aback to find him suddenly materialized before her eyes.

"And this gentleman is..." Elder Lu looked at Mo Xingyuan, a hint of tension in his voice.

He had long since washed his hands of external disputes. Moreover, control of Huahai Pharmaceuticals and the position of the head of the Hua family had practically been handed over to Hua Ling; Elder Hua no longer concerned himself with worldly affairs.

"The winner gets to make a demand of the loser!" It was Yukino Yukinoshita's turn to speak. "Well? Do you dare accept the challenge?" Though her words seemed directed at Mashiro Shiina, her gaze was fixed squarely in Utaha Kasumigaoka's direction.

According to the rules of the Performed Ruins, outsiders were forbidden from revealing their true identities to native characters within the ruins. However, Mao Zhihui's remark was phrased in a way that only fellow outsiders could comprehend, thus avoiding any violation of the rules.

Naturally, Xu Chuanran and Huo Yuhao led the others in hurriedly following closely behind, ascending the golden staircase to leave the grand hall and enter the second floor.

In Zhang Fei's mind, aside from Liu Bei, there was no one in this world he could not or would not dare to beat up.

When she finally emerged outside the doorway, she discovered John waiting there. Having previously been rebuffed by Wu Lian, he had remained quite worried. Seeing Wu Ai step inside, he had wanted to inquire about the situation; after all, his own sister would certainly not turn him away.

Said the man, before removing the head of the ice silkworm he had captured. Channeling his spirit power into his hand, a small flame materialized in his palm, heating the glistening white flesh. Once the ice silkworm emitted a savory aroma and was thoroughly cooked, he handed it to a shivering soldier.

The current situation on the field was a three-way standoff between four and three factions: Xy occupied the highest vantage point, while FY and KL held opposing positions at the lowest level, forming a tripartite equilibrium among the three teams.

Come to think of it, had she looked in the wrong place for help? No matter how one looked at it, dealing with students had to be much easier than dealing with teachers!

Xu Chuanran sighed with emotion, his face beaming with excitement, whereas Huo Yuhao remained slightly restrained. A gentle fragrance drifted on the breeze, and with his formidable spiritual power, Huo Yuhao instantly sensed numerous gazes descending upon both himself and Xu Chuanran.

Hao Zhao stared intently, only to recognize that his opponent was none other than the leader of the negative entities who had defeated him during the mortal ascension realm war in the immortal world. This time, the adversary had brought along so many formidable opponents that the sheer strength of the negative entity lineup caused Hao Zhao's heart to sink.

Ye Qing suddenly remembered that he had spent two whole days in Immortal Sovereign Town, which meant the present moment should already be right before his eyes. He hurriedly questioned Zhang Shaoyu.

Dai Anliu did not ask any further. After all, although he might be considered a rather unique and gifted individual suited for metaphysics within a world of mysticism, Dai Anliu actually understood nothing of the sort—he was merely a cook. Initially, Dai Anliu's perspective had been aligned with everyone else's, until the later arrival of Zhang Shaoji.

Right now, the outcome was no longer of paramount importance to them, for each had encountered the adversary they had yearned for, an opponent worthy of their utmost effort. That mattered far more than mere victory or defeat.

With that, Ye Qing grabbed Dai Anliu by the collar. Dai Anliu offered no resistance, merely casting a look of disdain at Ye Qing.

Finished speaking, A-Yong led the others into an old wonton shop. After each ordered their favorite dish, they sat down to wait.

And yet, his severed head had fallen to the ground, twitching a few times within its own pool of blood before finally falling still.

Because this person was the very first among everyone to move, Xu Tian instantly marked him as a primary target for observation.

Indeed, he had performed admirably. Aside from outwitting numerous enemies through stratagems, he had also persuaded Sun Quan to construct naval docks at Ruxukou, thereby repeatedly frustrating Cao Cao's southward campaigns and ensuring the safety of Jiangdong's eastern front.
