Chapter 99: The Purpose of the Banquet, the Malevolent Entity of Jade City
Tonight, Moonstone Castle was lively and brightly illuminated, countless rare and wondrous treasures laid out on the dining tables for the guests to enjoy. Yet, despite the bustling atmosphere, it was far from noisy; the vampires moving about were unusually quiet.
The humans who accompanied Joe Jia were stunned as they gazed upon this vampire stronghold, unable to find words to express the overwhelming emotions stirring within them.
Moonstone Castle stood atop a towering ancient tree, perpetually shrouded in mist, never fully revealed to the outside world.
Zhang Tianci ventured into the forest ahead, setting up the Primordial Gourd Formation, releasing the essence and body of the spirit child so they could merge as one.
“The light inside this hall now comes from the lamp hanging from the ceiling. This means the Red Moon—though I’m still not used to that name—is currently in a state of slumber.”
This information was invaluable to him, and indeed to every newcomer; it was a priceless treasure. With this knowledge, he held a strategy to contend with the prodigies, greatly increasing his chances of breaking into the top ten in the upcoming martial tournament.
The voice vanished the moment Gu Xingbao shouted that sentence. The scene before her shifted again, now depicting a battlefield where countless people were engaged in a gunfight.
Over the past thirty years, ten protective zones had been established worldwide, along with a central zone and numerous civilian districts.
Though aware that lurking around to spy on others was highly impolite, Gao Shanling could not quell her curiosity. Since Ming Chuan hadn’t chased her away, she resolved to feign ignorance to the end.
Lei Congwu’s mood mirrored that of Si Tianqi, yet under the watchful eyes of all, he dared not utter a single word carelessly.
Whatever the circumstance, each posed significant obstacles to Yis’s forthcoming plans.
Here, however, their imaginings encompassed the world’s past, present, and quite possibly its future.
After witnessing Ming Chuan’s “transformation,” despite knowing he was no fraud, Dai Qin remained cautious toward him. Seeing Xu Ai suffer from his actions, a surge of anger rose uncontrollably within her heart.
Before leaving, fearing that Cheng Enni intended to start a business out of financial need, Cheng Jianbo forced five yuan into her hand. Hu Shuiying lent a hand, and Cheng Enni couldn’t refuse.
“Eliza, if you feel you owe me an apology, there’s no need to be so shy about it,” Neil said.
Only upon Zhu Tiansheng’s return did the others perk up and reluctantly approach him to exchange greetings.
“Otherwise—” He paused, racking his brain for the right words to persuade this burly man with a beer belly.
Though they had yet to make a move, the ghostly aura emanating from their beings surged beneath the surface. The sky darkened instantly, and the air seemed to thicken, as if about to solidify.
Leaving the company, Jiang Xianyang approached Monkey One and Monkey Two. “How did you come up with the idea for this game?” he asked, genuinely curious.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianyu immediately took out her phone and played a short video for the middle-aged man to see.
Carpenter Chen posed no difficulty; the task was simple, and with Liuli’s care for their family, he agreed at once to rush it out today so that when Zhou Yuniang entered the city tomorrow, she could carry it with her.
Liuli was momentarily dazed, then scenes from moments before losing consciousness flooded her mind. She instantly recalled the knife that had pierced Coral, sprang up with a sharp intake of breath, wincing as it tugged at the still-unhealed wound on her shoulder.
At that moment, the driver slammed on the brakes, causing the vehicle’s front to jolt violently forward.
The two entered the room. Red Moon shed his outer garment, then reached into his chest and pulled out two enormous… grenades?
“I want to leave the clan, too, but I must obey my grandfather’s arrangements,” Bai Shu said helplessly.
