Volume One, Chapter 26: The Show Has Just Begun

Wu Yu rolled his eyes out of habit. This thing truly could not change its nature—it was as if it were a dog, or perhaps possessed the lineage of one. Seeing its behavior, Wu Yu’s suspicions only deepened.

Nangong Chen was not a man who allowed others to refuse him. Without even casting a glance at Yi Siling on the floor, he held his head high and walked out.

A quick glance from Yun Tian revealed that Xiao Xin ranked fourth, Mo Sheng ranked third, and the person in second place was none other than Luo Fei. He did not recognize the name, but judging by their names, they all seemed to be men.

Some of the experts at the Source Origin Realm witnessed this scene and gasped in unison, standing unsteadily in the void as if they could not withstand such a "blow."

After Ling Yanshan and Yin Liufeng departed, Old Master Ling opened a secret passage in his room. He helped Lin Yi up and led him into the hidden path.

Meanwhile, in the Xuanwu Palace, Murong Feng had already been moved to the bed by Lady Xuanwu. The two sat cross-legged facing each other. Lady Xuanwu gently caressed Murong Feng’s cheek and placed the two pills she had obtained into his mouth. Seeing that he could not swallow them for a long time, she was suddenly at a loss, thinking to herself: What should I do now?

"It seems we must visit the Biyi Hotel once more to have a serious talk with them," Zhang Zhiguo said.

He was well aware that his reputation was in tatters; if he were to suddenly rush off to request an imperial decree, Empress Wei would not necessarily agree to his preposterous petition.

Yu Chen nodded, took a talisman from his pocket, and handed it to Xue Hao. Xue Hao nodded, took the talisman, and without a moment's hesitation, slapped it onto the ghost infant.

Initially, upon entering the Nine-Curved Netherworld, he saw that the realm had been thrown into chaos by its own emergence, with malevolent energy surging, and fierce ghosts and evil spirits appearing everywhere, leaving the place in shambles. Recalling that his relationship with the old Nether Monarch had been quite harmonious in the past, he suppressed his urge to kill and let the realm fend for itself.

Therefore, he dared not unleash his full strength, but Ao Xu did not seem to have such reservations; the "True Dragon Fusion Gold Spear" he used earlier was a combination of three powers.

Bloodline and aptitude are both inherited from ancestors; generally speaking, the closer the generation, the greater the likelihood of inheriting these traits.

"Enough. We will cross that bridge when we come to it. Let’s not dwell on this for now; after tonight, we shall properly plan our next move!" Since one does not fear more lice when already infested, Jiang De decided to set everything aside and wait until the night had passed.

Su Nianan had not expected him to act this way. Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, and he seized the opportunity, his tongue exploring her lips as he sucked gently.

The ghost child ignored Da Sheng entirely, flying straight toward Xu Dianhui. He reached out, gripped Xu Dianhui’s throat, opened his mouth, and prepared to bite down.

As it turned out, the reason for the conflict was that Ruijiana had once again brought up Qiu Xuan and mocked him. Ye Xue happened to overhear this and flew into a rage, leading to a quarrel with Ruijiana that eventually escalated into a physical confrontation.

Jin Yang was also suspicious. The three of them were newcomers and were not familiar with the cultivators of Earth, let alone the Supreme of Penglai Island.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt his anger not only undiminished by the words of You Jingyan and Zhu Biao, but rather fueled further.

The joint petition contained nothing more than what You Jingyan had already anticipated, claiming that Liu Bowen had offended the Dragon King and the Rain God by killing someone beneath the prayer altar, thereby causing the severe drought in the Central Plains. It further alleged that the people of the Central Plains were already whispering about Liu Bowen’s actions at the altar.

"Who is it? Come out!" Bao Qi did not even look at the corpses as his voice echoed far into the distance.

Shi and Qisa placed their hands together and performed a very bizarre dance. By this point, everyone had been startled so many times that there was perhaps nothing left that could truly shock their spirits. Thus, even though their movements were comical, no one felt the urge to laugh.

However, when Motian Ren found the final piece of the Blood Remnant Stele, his excitement was beyond words.

"Xi'er, did you have any strange sensations at the time? Perhaps a feverish head, or the feeling that something had suddenly appeared in your memory?" Zhu Ziming tried to guide Zhu Xi to recall the scene.

Seeing that Tan Jue remained silent, she truly could not fathom what he was thinking. Was he genuinely devastated by the sacrifice of Liu Yan, this so-called sworn brother? Tan Jue did not seem like such a person. Could it be that when a man is nearing death, his words become sincere? She could indeed see that Tan Jue was on his last legs; it would only be a matter of a few years.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded from the control console, and the large screen displayed an unidentified object approaching the two aircraft.

Elon muttered a curse. He had been riding a wave of success recently, but for such a thing to happen now was truly aggravating.

At this point, the man with glasses could not provide an answer. After all, even among the Chinese, few knew why this "cut cake" was so expensive; as a foreigner, how could he possibly know?

Ruan Chen did not have time to investigate further, as he was drawn to the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord. This ruthless man, who had once slaughtered numerous great clans across the forty-nine heavens, slain over a dozen saints, and contended with the Zhao family, had now ascended to the rank of Saint King.
