Chapter 39

When Dong Xiao and Wu Jiang showed up for registration at the start of the school year, he recognized them as the two first-year students who had danced the previous year. He had never expected those two handsome boys to become his classmates. Wu Jiang was clearly more talkative than Dong Xiao, and even he could tell that Wu Jiang was deliberately trying to strike up a conversation.

In any case, the next few months would be the period Chen Chu had mentioned. Whether it was merely bluster or whether he truly had an ulterior motive would soon become clear.

“Bullshit! Mad Armor’s greatest strength is its extraordinarily keen sense of smell. Never mind that we’re less than a kilometer away from him—even if you were hiding in Jiangbei City while he was in Yanjing, he could still find you. Compared with a wolfhound’s nose, his is more than a thousand times sharper!” the Ghost General cried out loudly.

Since the Young Master had looked toward that place, he naturally hoped to find some trace of the familiarity he had once known, even if it was a bitter familiarity. Unfortunately, he found none at all. The old residential complex dating from the 1990s had already been demolished, replaced by a gymnasium.

Wang Chen was secretly alarmed when he heard that the Heavenly Monkey Clan had actually sent someone specifically to invite the Elven Clan to attend the Three Treasures Assembly. He became even more convinced that the assembly was anything but ordinary. The usually low-key Heavenly Monkey Clan had suddenly taken the initiative to gather all the hidden powers from every side in one place. No one knew what scheme they were plotting.

Today, nearly every major media outlet in Hong Kong, Lotus Island, Korea, and Japan had reported on the matter. Even Wall Street was paying considerable attention, while countless institutions were solemnly analyzing the possible impact it might have.

This situation had given the Illusory Fox Clan many powerful backers and extensive connections in the cultivation world. Thus, although the Illusory Fox Clan’s combat strength was far inferior to that of the Heavenly Monkey Clan, the Bull Demon Clan, and the other five great demon clans, it had nevertheless managed to rank among the six great demon clans.

The sight left everyone dumbfounded. Whether it was the Oqi offline retail group, which had suddenly ballooned like an inflated balloon, or its valuation, which had abruptly increased thirteenfold, Oqi Games had become the brightest star in the gaming industry that winter.

In truth, Dong Xiao had noticed Wu Jiang the moment he entered. Knowing that Wu Jiang must have something to discuss with him, he was already getting up as Wu Jiang began to speak.

The place where Beiming Xie resided was far too ethereal and elusive. Bai Jin had never even heard of it before. Finding him would be extraordinarily difficult.

Who could have imagined that the child would suffer from a congenital illness? That was why the Xiong family later went back on their word and refused to acknowledge him.

Ximen Jing had no time to dodge and was sprayed directly in the face. In an instant, his hair and eyebrows turned white, as though covered with a layer of frost.

“Of course not. If it were that simple, wouldn’t the old Heavenly Emperor and the old Human Sovereign have transcended long ago? Would there still be any chance for you?” the Supreme Beast of Heaven rolled its eyes.

Those who had not yet received their money stood at the back, looking increasingly impatient. Many were rubbing their hands together. Those who had already been paid, meanwhile, held the money in their hands and examined it again and again, as though they still could not quite believe it.

The men in black did not answer Bai Jin directly. What they said instead only left him even more puzzled.

Thoughts of Xu Nuo’s father, Xu Nuo’s mother, and the beautiful memories she shared with me. Xu Nuo was relying on these recollections of the past to force her mind to remain lucid. But the method was too slow, so she began pinching herself with her hands bound behind her back.

I watched her in silence, narrowing my eyes. Given what she was doing, I had every reason to suspect that she was harboring some ulterior motive.

The reason it had such a resounding name was that, if one wished to locate the hiding place of an evil spirit, one only needed to collect something belonging to it—hair, nails, blood, or the like. Then, by using Daoist magic and folding a paper crane according to a specific method, one could give the paper crane the ability to track it.

At that moment, Yang Ye suddenly felt as though nearly all the blood in his body had congealed. He could barely move an inch.

A shattering wave of force burst forth. The Great General clutched his chest, his face filled with disbelief, as blood sprayed from his mouth.

This barrier was different from the previous one. This time, Zhuohua felt as though all her internal organs were being squeezed so violently that they had shifted out of place.

Before anyone inside could respond, the waitress directly turned the doorknob. She pushed the door halfway open and gestured for her to enter. Bai Ran nodded.

After sensing his spirit spreading wildly, Ye Fantian could not help but reveal an excited expression.

“Ning Yu, what exactly are you thinking? What does his condition have to do with you?!” Ning Yu asked herself.

Only then did Jiang Duanchen slowly release his hands. Sanqi finally broke free of his restraint, collapsed onto the floor, and began gasping for breath.

“Are you saying there’s a traitor in our military camp?” Mu Qingyu and Yan Nanbei exchanged a glance. Both of them came back to themselves from the chill in Qing Hong’s voice, then widened their eyes in shock as they pondered the meaning of her words and asked in unison, “Are you saying there’s a traitor in our military camp?”

“This was created according to the Luo Diagram and must then be calculated using Plum Blossom Numerology—the calculations have to be worked out through the numerological algorithm.” Bai Shaozi explained as he looked at it. However, he could only talk about the method; he did not know how to perform the calculations.

After dinner, Bai Ran did not stay to sit with them. She took her coat, said goodbye, and left. As she went out, Bai Fengping asked Tang Yunsheng to escort her.

“No… It’s the same, the same—exactly the same. I won’t say it anymore.” Ning Yu was completely flustered. When Liu Siyuan questioned her, the breath he exhaled brushed directly against her ear because of the angle of her face, igniting her originally pale earlobe and neck.

Lei Li extended his right hand into the air. After picturing the Thunder God’s Golden Blade in his mind, a streak of purplish-golden lightning flashed across his palm. The imposing Thunder God’s Golden Blade suddenly appeared in Lei Li’s hand.
