Volume 1, Chapter 30: Settling the Wounded

Within the ranks of the Shu army, Sima Huai shared similar sentiments. He reflected that tonight’s decisive battle against the Sea of Demonic Clouds was imminent; if handled correctly, the Sea of Demonic Clouds would undoubtedly be destroyed.

Hearing this, Wu Meiniang and the others hurriedly retrieved their bronze Pegasus statues. Infusing them with vital energy and pressing down upon them, they heard a series of neighs as each student mounted their metallic steed.

Facing such a formidable-looking opponent, Li Daoran, who had been calm just moments ago, now began to feel a surge of excitement.

The fan was a one-time treasure. Upon its singular use, all the dove poison stored within was released, poisoning both Hua Keqi and his son, Hua Huangrong, leaving them with little time left to live.

Now that the second mistress had passed away and the master of the Qian household was gone as well, the head mistress, Madam Qian, would not indulge the second mistress as the master once had. When Madam Qian ordered the dismantling of the sedan chair that had brought her such grief, strange occurrences began to unfold.

Inside the crystalline palace, Huo Bao encountered the ancient giant monster Wuzhiqi, who appeared as an ape with a white head, green body, snowy fangs, and golden claws, standing fifteen feet tall.

Usually, the weaker individuals remained in this area, busy with the work in the fields.

When Shangguan Yao, Zhang Jianzhi, and Jian Congli rushed out of their room, they were greeted by layers of dark shadows outside, which, in the night, appeared as eerie and unsettling as ghostly apparitions.

"High Priest?" As the cage of destiny vanished, Leng Shuang stepped forward to ask why the High Priest had let Qin Yang go.

Lin Xiao was furious. He had been so worried that everyone would succumb to negativity that he had been busy comforting them, yet Zheng Yi had undermined him at every turn. He glared fiercely at Zheng Yi, but the man ignored him completely.

After a few seconds, he could still only see the basic information of the ancient tree spirit: its name and its health bar.

Li Yuxi was taken aback. He had never expected that Chu Bing, who was always smiling, could harbor such deep-seated self-doubt.

Chu Xinbai frowned as she watched the man’s retreating figure. He seemed familiar, but she could not place who he was.

Daoist Xu Yi walked over to Chu Xinbai and ruffled her hair, earning a glare from her as she puffed out her cheeks.

Nurse Wu thought it reasonable; given Xu Sheng’s reputation, if he were willing to lower himself to seek medical help, then the matter must be true. It was just so bizarre that she found it difficult to accept for the moment.

Liu Jie threw the ancient book back into the box in disappointment. The book hit the side of the box, causing the pages to scatter, and he noticed what appeared to be writing on the final page.

Ji Haoran knew this himself, and he knew that the other party was likely already suspicious. That was why he had come to tell the truth, hoping to convince him to continue helping to cover up the deception.

Seeing Chu Bing in such a state, Hongyu panicked instantly. She hurriedly helped Chu Bing up, ordered other maids to fetch a doctor, and commanded that the food and wine be taken away for the doctor to inspect.

It must be understood that the cultivation world of Liuyun Continent was not like the overseas cultivation world; the Yulong family held no influence here, and few Nascent Soul cultivators in this region would be willing to show them any respect.

He sent a message to Su Linna, asking, "What exactly do you want? And how did you get my WeChat?" He did not recall ever adding her.

"Rebellious son, hold your tongue!" Fang Xuanling, standing nearby, was livid. His good-for-nothing son was truly incorrigible; how could one bargain over the Emperor’s rewards?

Chen Yuan crouched on the toilet, nearly moved to tears of frustration. At this moment, nothing mattered—not e-sports, not dignity or face, not Diaochan or Athena—none of it was as important as this toilet.

It could be said that they were involved in many industries, and these industries were relatively at the forefront of the world.

"Good heavens, isn't this the box Master used to contain Black Whirlwind and the Pangu Axe demon?" Zhu Zheng was stunned. His heart pounded wildly. He moved the box to his feet, wondering, "How did these demons end up here?" Just as he was puzzled, he heard voices calling out from within the box.

The black leather chair swiveled, and the tall young man stretched, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and lazily opened the game interface, preparing to play a few rounds to unwind.

"Set sail!" Yang Tian shouted from the captain's cabin, finally getting a taste of what it was like to be a pirate captain.

A race seemed to have ended not long ago on the track. Although the competition was over, many technical staff remained—engineers, mechanics, and various team leaders—fine-tuning the cars, inspecting them, and making repairs in preparation for tomorrow's race.

Li Bai could not possibly go through her bag again. He had only caught a glimpse of her privacy by accident, from which he inferred Ye Qian’s identity. But the coincidence was simply too great.

"Believe it or not, as you wish." The Great Snake Demon was neither angry nor annoyed, still keeping its blood-red maw wide open, though it did not appear to be ferociously hungry for human flesh.

Western Xia was currently in a state of recovery. Xiao Ming focused on developing industry and commerce, implementing a series of measures to encourage trade. Consequently, a large number of Song and Liao people flooded into Western Xia in a short time, followed by merchant caravans of Tibetans and Qiang people. For a while, Xingqing Prefecture seemed to have regained its former prosperity.

Indeed, faced with the bloodshot-eyed rebel cavalry, the government infantry surrounding them were like lambs to the slaughter; what chance of victory could they possibly have?

Bai Shou had put in so much effort to punish Lian Xiang, yet Lian Xiang had resolved it all with a single phone call, which only fueled his anger.

He shook his head, flashed a middle finger at the graceful figure not far ahead, and continued forward. Jun Yang’s pace had slowed significantly, as the Chaos Power within him was nearly exhausted.

"What are you saying, Commander Zhang? Aren't we all here to fight the Japanese invaders?" Qu Bing stepped forward and gripped Zhang Fentian’s hand.

Upon hearing the magistrate’s command, the county officials holding steel blades began to move, demanding that everyone produce their identification for inspection.

Isar and the others did not intervene, knowing that resistance would be futile. Valar, meanwhile, had only one thought in his mind: to save Jun Yang.

Seeing that the young mistress had returned, Adjutant Luo felt relieved. He relayed the Fourth Master’s orders to Mother Wu, stating that several soldiers would be sent in the afternoon to clear the Hechi Pond, and as rain was expected tonight, he requested Mother Wu and Daimao to remain alert.

Bang! Just as Dugu Qiubai was startled, the Arhat Subduing Tiger strike slammed into him. The system, after precise calculation, declared Dugu Qiubai defeated, and as Lian Xiang’s strike landed, it ejected Dugu Qiubai from the battlefield.

Just as Melanie was lost in thought, her foot slipped, causing her to snap back to reality. She braced herself, lowering her gaze to stare at the gray-white mountain beneath her feet.
