The firelight illuminated the haze above.
Creatures the size of calves were crouched atop the cliff face.
Seeing the soaring flames, the face-huggers on the rock wall bared their sharp teeth, emitting shrill, piercing screeches at the demons below!
Countless demon soldiers clutched their ears in agony.
"My Lord, there are at least a thousand of these face-huggers, perhaps even more!"
Li Yan looked up at the cliff, guided by the flickering firelight.
A few figures flashed across the top and vanished.
Monk Yuan Zhi, who was meditating to break through his cultivation realm, was immediately affected; his brows furrowed tightly, and wisps of white mist rose from his shaven head.
Watching the two retreat, Huo Shiyu clenched his fists, standing stiffly in place, unable to collect his thoughts for a long while.
The hand that had been hammering fiercely stopped, hanging in the air. He turned around, his large eyes shifting as he sized up Xia Yi, who had just entered.

Noble Consort Xi struggled to steady her nerves and brought the candle forward once more, the dim yellow light falling upon Jinhua’s deathly pale face.
Li Xingyuan, dressed in a impeccably tailored black suit, stood at one meter eighty-nine, casting an overwhelming sense of oppression.
What could there be in Zhushan County? Aside from her father, a former master of poisons, there was likely only Mo Li’s teacher, the divine physician Qin Lu.
"Hehe, Mr. Qin, that girl seemed interested in you," Dong Xiaojie teased slyly in the car.
She did not have a heavy appetite, but she had a particular fondness for fish. In the past, her home was never without it, and even while participating in international competitions, she could not resist adding it to her strictly controlled diet.
Come to think of it, taking care of the intoxicated Yun Zhao was quite easy. She only became talkative and drowsy, yet her temperament softened considerably; she could be appeased with a little coaxing.
The lion glared at the ugly crocodile, its eyes sharp, and then lunged forward. The crocodile seemed to understand the words of Tian Can Jiao and felt deeply dissatisfied. Without waiting for the order from the Crocodile King, it charged into the void, its four feet hitting the ground and kicking up rolling clouds of dust.
Fu Rongxi scanned the lines rapidly, his ability to discern details exceptionally keen. In an instant, he spotted the basement where Lu Ziqian was being held. Fu Rongxi looked at the displayed image, his eyes filled with vague confusion, staring fixedly at the screen without reaction.
Judging by the situation, they had not yet reached the depths of the Mitian Illusion Array. The soul bodies here were only around the Sword Soul Realm; with the Blue-Gold Laws and the Soul-Locking Prison Flag, it was a fight they could handle.
When Zhang Chu heard Su Xia call the man beside her "Uncle Long," he felt something was off. Could this man really be related to Su Xia? Otherwise, she wouldn't address him that way. The matter was truly complex. Huang Jing had lashed out before clarifying the situation.
Through Ziyue’s introduction, Ye Chen gained a general understanding of the Ziling Mountains. Upon reaching a mountain peak, he looked out at the rolling hills. It had a unique charm of its own.

The man under her hands was nearly crushed to a pulp; if she wasn't stopped, he would be dead in moments.
This sweet spring, like a gentle spring rain, entered Zeng Yi’s body and immediately began to nourish the parched land within.
It seemed Lu Shengyu did not trust her at all, fearing she would not follow his instructions, so he skipped the morning court session just to track her?
Ye Chen channeled the Xuanyuan Arts, mimicking the footwork of Master Yao, and in an instant, his slightly golden fist struck directly at the man.
"What if I do stand against you?" the Holy Master of Jade Universe Pavilion said with disdain, her soft lips curling into a bewitching smile.
"The Taiqing Void-Roaming Steps? It truly suits Brother Fang the best," Su Huai remarked, recalling the mystical and elegant footwork Han Feng had displayed while ascending the mountain.
"Pass on my orders: seal Hegu City for a month and a half. During this time, no one and nothing is permitted to enter or leave until the Cloud Dream Realm reopens!" Li Dongping commanded calmly. He then turned, cast a look of disgust at Li Xiliu, who seemed to want to say more, and walked straight into the Hegu City branch office.
