Chapter 23

Originally, his strength was not considered formidable among the rulers of the Eternal Sovereign Realm, but with the power of the Immortal Eye, it became an entirely different matter.

Brilliant crimson light spread forth, converging onto Mu Feng’s right fist. The fierce energy surged like a dam breaking, pouring out uncontrollably.

The rushing torrent descended like a floodgate burst open, forming a river some twenty yards wide. Waves roared like a stampede of wild horses, sweeping up sand and stones from the ground, engulfing heaps of insectoid creatures and drowning them in its midst.

The Savage Crown Beast bore some resemblance to a wild boar, but atop its head was a massive crimson crest. Its roar was akin to that of a tiger.

“Senior Brother Mu, thank you for coming to my aid. I am deeply grateful,” said Leng Zhu softly, bowing slightly.

The most profitable trade was dominated by the Tulip family, a fact everyone took as natural.

He was merely a ninth-rank martial artist; to supreme beings of the Sovereign tier, he was no more significant than an ant.

She understood perfectly what “this” referred to. Though sending a dignified angel to do such tasks seemed odd, proximity to vermilion would stain one red, and gradually she grew accustomed to it.

In no time, the Nine Nether Beast lifted its head, flicked out a fiery red tongue, and with a curling motion, ensnared a giant tree, dragging it into its mouth.

The Mother of Gu Poison could no longer endure. Hidden within a thicket of brambles, she gasped heavily for breath.

Liu Ye could not fathom why Yuan Shao’s army of merely a thousand men exhibited such formidable combat power. Among all the armies he had encountered, only Lu Bu’s vanguard unit matched such strength.

As they traveled the road to Chenliu, Xu Shu stayed close beside Liu Ye, watching over him. Seeing the agonized, pained expression on Liu Ye’s face, he grew concerned.

If, later on, the price of this spirit artifact exceeded their expectations, they would let it go; but if the final cost remained bearable, they would raise their bids without hesitation.

Lin Yue chose not to transplant the jelly cores from these two wild beasts. In truth, such transplantation was difficult, as it was nearly impossible for an ordinary person to sustain the mutated jelly core capable of hosting such giant creatures.

“All right, once we conquer Youzhou, I will hold a grand wedding for you. I want every citizen of Chenliu to witness the love between us.”

Though the ministers and princes rarely came to feed, for this place was reserved solely for the imperial table. Without an explicit decree from Emperor Kangxi, few dared to visit frequently.

Xing Cong clenched his lips tightly, his expression fierce and resolute. He was the very embodiment of solemn authority, and now he exuded a commanding presence without raising his voice.

Suddenly, Wang Hongjun realized he was besieged on all sides. The true cause was his killing of Zhou Yan. Wang Hongjun believed he was justified in killing Zhou Yan, so he blamed Lin Yue entirely for the ensuing chaos.

Feng Junyao and Yue Liushang’s martial skills far surpassed hers, but in the arts of mechanisms and formations, they were no match for her. It would be difficult for the two of them to enter the Demon Palace unnoticed.

Su Le fell silent. With such demands, how could anyone conduct a proper investigation? No wonder so many detectives gave up after trying.

Wang Ping appeared calm on the surface, but inside, his anger burned like a raging fire. Only his self-control prevented it from erupting.

However, before formally entering seclusion, there were matters that needed clear discussion with Sun Chenghan.

Sun En was even more domineering. Using the Dao sect’s supreme protective divine technique, the Ninefold Mixed Body Skill, he transformed into the ancient Star Demon Ape. Wielding only an iron rod, he charged recklessly, confronting the remaining three. His limitless divine power and invulnerable body made it difficult for Qian Mingyue and the others to endure.

They had been waiting in that cave, so how could such a strange scene unfold upon waking?

Under the pressure exerted by Lu Chen and the Second Young Master, the surrounding Ghost-level contract holders trembled bodily. Ordinary people, feeling no overwhelming aura, merely sensed oppression but did not become speechless.

She did not want to be abandoned. She no longer wished to live a life filled with constant fear, peril, and the threat of death at every moment. Beside Lu Chen, under his protection, she felt unparalleled peace.

A thick stack of documents was handed to me. After bidding farewell to Professor Han, I led them out of the meeting room.

“That bastard, why does he hate me so much?” Wang Dao seethed, using the Dao Source Heavenly Pearl to vanish and swiftly depart.

This was also a design of the space itself, leaving contract holders with no path of escape. The danger was extreme: a moment’s delay could mean death. Fortunately, Lu Chen and his companions lost only a little time along the way.

A tremendous pressure suddenly arose, nearly breaking his shoulders. Yet, with a surge of spirit, teeth clenched tightly, Sun Chenghan forced himself to endure.

“I hope your strength matches your boasts!” A cold glint flashed in Akagi’s refined eyes. She resolved to smear the white powder of the training bullets all over the infuriating enterprise before her during the performance.

Tomorrow was the day of the duel between Xu Weijue and Wang Yue, as well as the decisive battle between the Tiger-Slaying Club and the Immortal Feather Club.

“What are you thinking about?” Chang Fei brought out a wedding gown—the very one Wen Jing had once chosen from pictures.

Everyone present was curious as to why Wang Yue’s marksmanship had suddenly become so precise. His wrist was injured, yet Dangdang exerted herself fully, eager to end the match swiftly.
