Chapter 34

In the United Kingdom, the nobility can generally be categorized into three main groups: hereditary peers, life peers, and the gentry.

Yin seemed to have merged with the tree; even when the branches swayed gently in the breeze, his body followed the natural motion in perfect harmony, as if he had reached a state of unity with the tree, rendering his presence completely undetectable.

Feng Rui felt a lingering fear; had he not been clever enough to transform into the form of a fire phoenix, he would surely have perished this time.

Below, the expressions in the eyes of Qiu Shenghai, Yan Yulei, and the others remained uncertain. With the people from the Heavenly Medicine Sect no longer speaking, it was clear that they had been abandoned.

Can forcefully twisted his waist, producing the sound of joints grinding together, as if he were snapping dislocated bones back into place.

Thus, the path ahead was blocked, and even if one could remove the blue bricks obstructing the way, there was no telling if a traversable road remained behind them.

Shen Feng knew the intentions of these old men. They had lacked the opportunity at the banquet to speak with him privately.

Deep within the Western Desert, rolling yellow sands stretched across an endless expanse of Gobi. Fierce winds struck from time to time, sending grains of sand flying.

Inside the vehicle, Yin, Can, and Yin Hong were tossed about as the bus rolled violently. They felt as if the world were spinning, unable to distinguish north from south or east from west.

Legend has it that consuming the flesh of Tang Sanzang grants immunity to the three disasters and nine calamities, which is why he is coveted by all manner of demons.

Ge Wei and her party emerged from the Blue Star one by one. She looked at Father Ge and Mother Lin with reluctance, while Ge Tang, unable to hold back, ran over and hugged her waist tightly.

Nian Chen looked at his great-uncle’s anxious yet naturally imposing expression, and his mind could not help but conjure an image of his grandfather, Li Delu, in a similar situation.

After speaking, Zhang Fei winked at me, as if she were waiting for my answer.

Walking into Li Yunlong’s room, one could see him and Zhao Gang sitting cross-legged on either side of a low table, upon which sat three large bowls, a bottle of Fenjiu, and a small plate of fried peanuts.

"The convoy departs in fifteen minutes!" Following the whistle was an indisputable command.

The object that had long baffled Gong Han and his companion was forcibly opened by the Manor Lord, revealing several parchment scrolls and a few vials of holy water.

The advantage was that once you entered the virtual universe, you would appear in your own home rather than randomly on the street, and family members could also be set to reside there.

Lu Jinjing and Afu each bought a lantern. Her wish was simple: to have someone accompany her for a lifetime.

Father Ge’s face was grim. He pushed open the door and walked onto the balcony, reaching into his pocket to pull out a cigarette, only to sheepishly withdraw his hand—it seemed his cigarettes had been confiscated.

Mo Yuan brought Gu Lu to the largest restaurant in the capital. Seeing the sign for "Ten-Mile Fragrance," Gu Lu paused before entering.

This cross-eyed man committed many evils in his daily life and was always the first to charge ahead, which was why he was deeply trusted by the young master who waved a folding fan.

"Mm, Pinyan, come in." Ziyuan fastened her sash, only to realize there was no bronze mirror in the room; she wondered how she looked in this attire.

Such a discovery was terrifying, haunting, and addictive—it made one want to smile bitterly and pose this question to the heavens: Why had everything turned into this sorrowful, irreversible state, impossible to return to its original point?

However, Wang Qiang did not have a headache, for he was no thief and did not need to infiltrate. He simply pulled a hood over his head and kicked open the villa’s electronic gate.

Kindness-for-a-Lifetime cried out in grief, leaping into the pit to lift Shan Xiang into his arms, shouting loudly. Though the two brothers had been at odds for years, they were, after all, born of the same mother; if he had died by his own hand, it might have been one thing, but to be slain by another changed the nature of the matter entirely.

He had not eaten for so long, and after having a few pieces of fruit, he began to feel truly hungry.

***

Where had the vanished Command Seals gone? They were, after all, the materialization of magical energy; surely they could not have simply disappeared into thin air?

President You glared at the evil, mocking face of Li Wenyuan, her lips trembling, yet she could find no words to reproach him.

Within the Wu family estate, the long corridor was not as winding as the passages of the Imperial Palace, so the walk was soon over. Madam Wu walked to the door and saw the visitor standing with his hands behind his back.

"Big Brother, after I jumped into the sea that day, I didn't know where the currents had washed me. It was with great difficulty that I returned to the Central Plains. Just as I arrived, I heard that someone was organizing a Lion-Slaying Convention, intending to kill my foster father, so I came to save him!" Zhang Wuji said, looking at Ma Yuan.

At this moment, a cultivator from the Bliss Palace made her move. It was an old woman with sparse, graying hair, yet her complexion was rosy and well-maintained.

"Not sure," Jin Se said flatly. Having said that, she picked up the bowl with one hand and supported Xuan Ming’s head with the other, forcing him to drink.

"Very well, it is settled." Everyone returned to their wives to prepare rations, horses, and other necessities.

"I have already found the person who killed Uncle Xiang!" Ye Feng looked at Hao Ren and said in a flat tone.

"I think it would be better if you didn't know," Wen Renya suggested gently, but some people simply could not learn from their mistakes.

The two were now essentially tied in health, but Wang Xiu still had his E-skill available. If this skill and the Ignite summoner spell hit simultaneously, the Sea King would undoubtedly die.
