Chapter 41: The Police Arrive for Reinforcements!

Tang Yu forced himself to suppress the tremor in his heart and swiftly drew a Grand General Talisman, slapping it onto the monster with a crisp smack.

“Awooo… awooo… awooo—”

Though the beast still struggled, once the talisman struck its body, it was as if the air had been let out of a balloon. It merely panted heavily, making no further attempt to attack.

At last, the group breathed a collective sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

At that moment, Feng Ming—

Once he felt his whole body relax, Xie Hess suddenly became aware of a pungent, acrid stench that nearly caused him to faint. However, this was not the time for washing up. He sat obediently in his seat, fastened his seatbelt, and readied himself for takeoff.

Meanwhile, Lou Yi and Hu Chi were instantly swallowed by the sea. Everyone looked nervously outside, and Bian Mingxing glanced meaningfully at Baiyue Ming. Seeing her calmly watching the scene with anticipation in her eyes, he began to suspect her intentions.

This so-called Mountain Tribute Ceremony was, in fact, a journey through the barren mountain range, visiting each peak to pay respects to the most powerful demon beasts or avian tribes living atop them. The challengers would battle these leaders under equal conditions, and once recognized by them, proceed to the next summit.

“Your Highness, what do you mean by this?” Song Wushang asked, wiping the cold sweat from his brow. He felt completely lost, unable to keep up with Chang Gexing’s train of thought.

But the ones devoured by the Nightmare were mostly lower-ranked demons. The birth of true high demons remained a mystery; no one knew how they came into being. The only certainty was that when an Asura emerged among the high demons, it heralded a coming disaster for the world.

Looking up at the main seat, he saw Emperor Jianning smiling at him. The two exchanged a knowing laugh.

The youth responded to Asura’s command with a gentle smile. At the same time, the celestial timepiece on his sleeve slowly rewound, and time itself began to flow more slowly.

Now was truly an excellent opportunity to strike while the iron was hot. If they missed this chance, once Ye Feng calmed down under the persuasion of Du Yu and Sun Zilong, such a perfect moment would not come again.

Li Qingmu indeed wanted to recruit Zhi Liu for his own use, but he was unsure whether Zhi Liu was worthy of his full trust.

At that very moment, a sudden phone ring sounded in his pocket. On reflex, he reached in and pulled out a cell phone—when had this gotten into his pocket? Glancing at the screen, he saw an unfamiliar number.

Yu Weiyan had risen with the dawn, washed up and dressed in travel gear, and waited for the appearance of the Mirage.

The journey to Mount Jilei was long, but with Shen Xiniang’s current cultivation, it did not take much time. That very night, Shen Xiniang returned, completed her mission, and handed over the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron.

“Is there another way? Something economical, a cheap one!” Fang Zheng couldn’t help but add a few qualifiers.

The Daoist smiled and said, “I have long heard that King Kaoshan is unmatched in martial skill and has never lost a duel. Now that we meet, why not let this humble Daoist test a few moves?” With that, he spurred his horse toward Yang Lin.

Take Chen Tao, for example—he was bought for two million, and within a year, he had already earned the club more than twenty million and helped them win the treble.

If it had been the former Qiao Xinglian, hearing these words would have plunged her into sorrow—the misery of escaping one wolf’s den only to fall into another tiger’s lair.

Those two were Qiao Xinglian’s closest kin, but it was she—the Xinglian from another world—who truly felt their affection.

Yu Weiyan joined He Chuliang and the others in battle, helping them eliminate the members of the Iron Leopard Mercenary Group one by one. Soon, only Yu Weiyan and Fu Chou remained by the pool.

“You are beautiful tonight…” As they walked forward, Bai Li Wuchen suddenly leaned in and whispered these words by her ear.
