Chapter 52: Manga Publication (Bonus Chapter)

Newspaper Office

“Sang Yu, I have some wonderful news for you.”

The moment Sang Yu arrived at the newspaper office, Liu Shumin pulled her into the office.

“Do you remember what I told you? I sent all of your works to the higher-ups, and they finally sent us their response today.

“They are extremely pleased with your work. Moreover, our newspaper’s sales have recently reached a new high, and after learning of this, the higher-ups have made a decision.”

Liu Shumin wore an expression—

For some unknown reason, Wu Fan felt an inexplicable sense of relief, but a new doubt soon arose in his mind.

Qin Chuan felt dizzy and was instantly stupefied. Wasn’t this far too much? Hundreds upon hundreds of waterfalls of thunder poured from the void with deafening roars, crashing down upon him.

The true illusionary world that Yuxi had entered back then had also existed for less than ten thousand years. Only by filling it with human lives had they barely managed to obtain the sole true object within that world.

“Good, good, good! Killing without batting an eye, ruthless and merciless—you truly live up to the title of Great Demon King!” The Divine Son of the Five Elements looked almost deranged, laughing until tears streamed from his eyes. No one could tell what he meant by it.

“In that case, Miss Jiang, please take good care of yourself. We shall meet again!”

Hua Tian bade farewell to Jiang Xuehan, and the two parted ways. No one knew what sort of scene would await them when they met again.

The mountains were lush, and ancient trees sprawled across the land. Qin Chuan and his companions proceeded toward the Central Region to see whether the other two great lands of fortune had yet reached their conclusion. Perhaps they could claim a share of the spoils.

Seeing that Yue Tongfei was actually speaking to him, Hua Tian could not help but frown slightly. His identity was rather sensitive; if someone recognized him here, it would bring him no small amount of trouble. He had especially had some past conflict with Zhao Lanyin. Fortunately, judging by her appearance, Zhao Lanyin had not recognized him.

“Hmph!”

Lan let out a cold laugh. Then she immediately spread her arms wide. In an instant, hundreds of feathers flew from behind her along her arms, surrounding Bai in midair.

“Looks like we’ve found the secret base.”

Jiutian pointed toward the two wooden houses in the distance. There was also a rack in front of them, with clothing hanging out to dry. Clearly, someone lived there.

The man held a sword behind his back and drifted slowly downward. At first, he looked like an immortal descending from the heavens, but when he landed, he turned out to be Zou Qi.

Two entirely different forms of majesty—yet each represented the pinnacle of its own domain—emerged simultaneously at that moment, shaking the soul. Everyone, no matter what they had been doing, stared blankly at the sky. A feeling of shame at their own insignificance arose in their hearts, and even the spiritual energy within their bodies began to seethe of its own accord.

Princess Lanxue furrowed her brows and bit her lip, seemingly finding the words difficult to say. In the end, however, she spoke.

In truth, there was nothing wrong with Tony’s way of thinking. In fact, if anyone else had been put in his position, they would have held much the same thoughts.

Wei Qing looked at Wu Ming’s face. Beneath the swaying lamplight, there was no anger in Wu Ming’s eyes—only a look of tender concern.

However, no one answered him, because the surroundings were filled with clamorous conversation. The voices of hundreds of thousands of people together were like a swarm of bees circling one’s ears, making it impossible to hear what anyone nearby was saying.

Ye Qing’s proposal received unanimous approval from the others, and they began searching for a demigod-level powerhouse.

However, there were many personal guards from the City Lord’s Manor and members of the Hou family’s forces present. The people from Merchant Fort still could not reach Ye Qing’s side.

The distance was too great for Qu Bo to hear their conversation, but from their movements, he could tell that the monsters here were likely far more difficult than they had imagined.

However, the Dragonflame Pill’s effects were completely useless to the profession of alchemy. After all, the most important thing for an alchemist was the soul, and the soul was a mysterious matter to every powerhouse on this continent.

As a result, the wind atop the mountain grew even more violent. Countless wind blades converged on Ye Qing from every direction, and fully hundreds of thousands of them shot toward him at once.
