Volume One, Chapter 29: Madam Has News

The Black Bear Spirit scoffed, gave a few instructions to the big-headed one, and flew directly toward Sun Wukong’s dojo.

The onlookers tightened their gazes, looking solemn. The Thousand Shadow Technique, with its overlapping images, made it impossible to distinguish the real from the illusory. Combined with Meng Yiren’s naturally fragrant body, which masked her presence, it was even harder to track.

The fallen angel Alcaz once devoured the darkness in the hearts of humanity across an entire era, bringing his strength infinitely close to the billion-person level and defeating Lucifer. After Alcaz perished, Lucifer inherited the power he left behind, including that very ability to consume darkness.

In the end, Lin Mu chose to stay. There were too many ordinary beast-men outside, and slaughtering them all didn't seem right; using them as slaves or cannon fodder would be a better alternative.

"That skull-based fire control method—it’s what you use to lock onto your targets, isn't it?" Ye Xingchen asked.

Clare had now reached the peak of the first level of the Saint Realm. With his current strength, his alchemy skills had also improved to producing second-level Saint Realm pills.

Only a martial artist who ascends to the status of a Heavenly Emperor can gain the ability to perceive higher realms of knowledge.

Because Xiao Yao considered Lin Mo a brother, he did not hide anything from him and informed him of the importance of those two women.

Song Tianji looked at the corpse-sucking clan leader, who was standing there with an irritatingly smug expression. With both hands held level, he shouted loudly, "Since you’ve delivered yourself to my doorstep, for the sake of the elves who died just now, and for that face of yours which nauseates me, return to dust and ashes." A flurry of intricate hand gestures moved across Song Tianji’s hands.

When Ye Wushuang and Susu appeared before the cloud ladder, two supreme-level elders stepped out from the sea of clouds and landed in front of Ye Wushuang.

"You are Yu Qiantian’s strategist, the greatest intellect in the world; you should understand the stakes better than I do," Yue Lin said lazily.

But the fire was too intense, and the thick smoke was overwhelming. Sun Lingming felt his entire body being scorched by the heat, and the smoke made it impossible to open his eyes, which streamed with tears.

"Don't cry. Our days are getting better, there's nothing to cry about. There are plenty of wild rabbits and pheasants on the mountain. When Mother feels a bit better, you can come with me to catch some for soup," Gu Zhaoyan said carefully.

A doctor? Is there any doctor like you who performs surgery wearing nothing but a lab coat with nothing underneath? What kind of doctor keeps spiders and cobras in their home?

Sun Lingming watched as Jiang Defang flashed back and forth in the hall. The surrounding bronze mirrors were filled with Jiang Defang’s reflections, making it impossible to judge where he would strike from, which left Sun Lingming feeling utterly uncertain. Yang Caiyue, Yang Tianlang, and the others, however, were unbothered, merely adopting defensive stances as a formality.

Holy Armor-Thunderclap looked back at me without a word, merely signaling with his eyes for me to look somewhere. I followed his gaze and discovered Mystic standing proudly atop the mountain peak, looking down at us.

After all, having searched anxiously for a day and a night, finally finding a clue and a glimmer of hope, only to be met with disappointment after such a long ordeal—it was crushing.

"Fei! Lica!" I could only watch helplessly as they vanished before my eyes, biting my lower lip in frustration.

It wasn't until after one in the morning that Lin Dongyang and Xia Ya’s group returned to Qingjiang University of Finance and Economics. They had originally planned to head back at eleven while at Le Shang KTV, but after a series of events, it was already past twelve by the time they left the South City branch.

Suddenly, he stood up, grabbed his outer robe, put it on, and pulled Tang Yun outside.

Zuo Suhan finished reading all the documents, and as he put them down, a tempest raged in his heart. The photographic evidence recorded the scene of the car accident from years ago; the car his uncle had been in was flipped on its side, the front and back were dented, and there were many bloodstains at the scene.

As he entered the tunnel of the Three Absolutes of the Underground, Xiaoyaozi looked at the emptiness within the passage, reminiscing about the days he had walked through it with the Poison Drug Queen and the Spirit Snake Poison Dragon, as if it were only yesterday.

The Japanese spies wanted time, chaos, and destruction; they couldn't care less about whether Cai Jilun lived or died. After all, their cooperation was merely temporary; whatever could be utilized would be exploited without reservation.

Lin Xuanlan had already arrived today and begun the work of renting shops and handling preliminary publicity. Coupled with the premieres of *The Peerless Gamble* and *The Calamity of Mending Heaven*, everything was falling into place naturally.

At that moment, Zhang Lan was already in a car rushing toward the temple. It turned out she had long known her husband would follow to see what was going on, so she had first pretended to go get water. Once her husband had gone back, she immediately dropped the kettle and rushed to the temple.

He insisted on going to the Su family residence. Bai Lin could not stop him and had no choice but to follow along. Fortunately, the Si family was also in B City, and Si Lan accompanied them the whole way.

Actually, Ah Fan’s original plan was for the second-in-command to quietly sneak into the backyard and execute a perfect pincer movement with him. In the midst of the heat of the conflict between him and Ah Sang, he would suddenly strike and eliminate Ah Sang. But he hadn't expected the backyard to be guarded, leading to an exchange of fire.

What he saw before him was a man who showed no signs of staying up late or overexertion.

Unless a super-organization that stands above everyone else emerges to act as an arbiter, it is impossible for the various factions to set aside their grudges and cooperate sincerely.

"Then, Ye Feng, where should we go first to find those tennis enthusiasts?" Once there was a goal, there had to be a plan. Atobe looked at Ye Feng and asked.

"What a righteous path of the jianghu—to be so cruel!" Jian Chen looked at the dozen corpses on the ground, his heart filled with complex emotions. Must he also do this when he upholds the path of righteousness in the future? Was there truly no peaceful way to resolve such conflicts?

Unless the opponent also possesses a Sharingan, this genjutsu is simply too formidable—too flawless and incredibly difficult to break.

"He wants to destroy the Moon Mirror! I will hold the Moon Mirror steady! All of you, go down to the lower realm and subdue that old man!" One of the Wuxiang cultivators realized what was happening and shouted, his hands supporting the great power to stabilize the space around the Moon Mirror, preventing the spatial cracks from shattering and destroying this portal.
