Chapter Seventeen
He smiled, but a murderous intent gleamed in his blood-red eyes. Leaning on his dark golden sword, he began striding boldly toward Tanya.
After passing through three consecutive platforms, aside from discovering more mineral deposits, there was nothing else of note. The only difference was that, besides coal and iron, we also found several gold mines, all of which we promptly claimed. The torch markers vanished at the edge of the third platform near the mountain stream.
“Who dares to play tricks here!” the Iron Sword Immortal Lord bellowed angrily. Suddenly, the long sword on his back shot out like a bolt of lightning toward the distance.
Everyone must think I’m a fool, including Mu Changgu. Now, I have no choice but to doubt everything—was it all just a lie? A sandcastle built around me, collapsing at the slightest touch, needing no wind or rain, for it was never truly solid.
Su Yiyao watched the platinum treasure hopping about with unwarranted pride, feeling they were utterly foolish. Such stupidity should have gotten them killed long ago—a real disgrace.
That was Elder Bellin’s voice. Joined by two other elders, their combined strength summoned four early-level third-tier undead creatures, which charged fiercely toward the group.
Sitting in Liu Yong’s broad embrace, feeling the unique warmth radiating from him, Sophie rested her jade-like back against his solid chest. A peace she could hardly describe settled over her, as if all the troubles behind her would be smoothly resolved with this man by her side.
Seeing Qin Rui so angry, Liu Yong felt pleased; it meant the plan had succeeded perfectly, achieving exactly what he intended. Yet, he maintained a serious demeanor, sternly addressing the flustered Qin Rui who was shouting with a flushed face.
Beitang Yexuan inquired specifically to uncover the mastermind behind the curse placed on Hanyue Qiao among the demon clans. In truth, Beitang Yexuan already had a suspect in mind, though no concrete evidence yet.
Liu Yong felt embarrassed, and Yao Sisi understood completely. Seeing his awkward expression, she couldn't help but quietly chuckle—a look she had never seen on him before.
Xu Yaran sighed softly. Tu Baobao’s husband had an overwhelmingly imposing aura that felt like a dark cloud pressing down, stifling the air. Now that Nangong Yuhan had left, the sky cleared instantly, and even breathing became much easier.

Some had witnessed Li Yilan entangled with me beneath our company building. At that time, everyone knew Li Yilan was Nangong Meining’s boyfriend, but no one knew he was my ex.
Within the Six Realms, all beings have eyes—except the corpses of the Underworld and the spirit slaves of the Demon Realm.
Lost in thought, Lin Hao opened the mission interface and was immediately stunned by the conditions.
Before Li Yilan could say more, Nangong Meining grabbed her bag and left. But instead of heading out, she went straight into his bedroom. By the time he reacted and followed, she had already shut the door tightly.
Under the current circumstances, in all of Tianjing City, the only ally capable of cooperating with the Gu family against the Dantai clan was undoubtedly the Murong family. If they were determined to collaborate, they had to show sincerity.
“Shh!” The masked man said nothing, dragging the prisoner toward a dilapidated house in the fields.
“Whether you go or not, you must go today. I’ve already arranged a meeting with the Su family tonight. What you’re doing is slapping my face!” Zhang Lan pointed angrily at Xiao Yichen.
Compared to the colossal, nearly sky-reaching whirlwind, the streak of icy blue light was like a needle dropped into the ocean. Indeed, the light was quickly swallowed by the vortex, vanishing without a trace.
“Daniel, I just spoke with Enxi on the phone. She said she plans to return to H country soon,” Shen Qinglan said softly, her red lips parting, causing the smile on Daniel’s face to stiffen.
Regarding these actions, Ling Yi merely watched with a puzzled expression but said nothing. The clan leader seated in the main seat was not angered by Ling Yi’s behavior and waved his hand casually.
The azure energy thickened progressively because, amid the relentless resistance of the destructive force, Blue Crystal had to amplify its divine power output to gradually suppress the turbulent destructive energy within Bai Yuda’s body.

But if Chu Yunrong doesn’t bring her back, it will be difficult to explain to Qin Yan. Given Qin Yan’s temperament, without Chu Yunrong, she would likely never show up.
“Ha ha ha,” Rong Lin laughed heartily after a few words caused everyone except Sarutobi Asuma to yield. The others puffed out their cheeks and eagerly ordered dishes, watching Hong with wide eyes, fearing Rong Lin might spend too much.
“It’s alright; I live nearby. Follow this location and leave the goods at the entrance. Someone will come to pick them up.” Learning from the last delivery, she did not give her exact address this time, only the main gate information.
“Don’t worry. Once the album officially releases, all these rumors will be meaningless.” In Huangfu Ziyi’s view, public opinion was a powerful weapon, but before absolute strength, it was insignificant—especially baseless gossip without solid proof.
“So, want to go see the fun?” she smiled lightly, well aware of the plans of those three nations, and Hemmer shared the unspoken understanding.
He was indeed provoked by Bai Yuda. For a second-tier warrior to challenge him was one thing, but to treat him with such disregard and indifference as he lowered his head in thought was infuriating.
Qin Tian and the others quickly dressed and followed the squad leader down. After gathering them, Instructor Liu led them to the barracks’ gym, where many were already working out as Qin Tian entered.
