Chapter 124

A dignified elder of the inner sect has fallen; who on earth has the audacity to oppose our Taiwu Sect?

She was at a loss for how to describe the shock in her heart. Upon reflection, it made sense; a severe illness of hers was nearly cured by his touch, so what did such an injury matter in comparison?

The long-suppressed pressure from his father made him desperate to say he did not like it, but the animation he watched today clarified his own feelings. He could only gape, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

This was hardly surprising; they could only smell the fear brought about by immense physical power. As for the mysterious, elusive "Qi" that human cultivators so tirelessly pursued, they were completely unable to detect it.

Eighteen years old, fifth level of Qi Refining—this was a talent so monstrous it defied logic. Li Hao began his cultivation at sixteen, and now, eight years later, he had only reached the sixth level.

The time taken just now was twenty-one seconds. Calculated accordingly, the cumulative damage from the four slaves was indeed quite considerable.

The Noclos family specialized in soul research. Their mastery in this field was the finest on the entire continent; even the God of Death could not compare to them in certain aspects of the soul.

Among the families on the continent today, none were adept at such operations. Conversely, this family, uncovered by Nia Honjo, was extremely proficient in this regard. Furthermore, the fact that they had dispatched their own agents to lurk on the periphery of the Elf Kingdom forced Ling Yun to cast suspicion upon them.

"This is none of your concern, so don't dwell on it. We practitioners can hardly guarantee anything ourselves. Let us continue," Tang Feng said.

The two sides continued their wide-ranging discussion about Shizuka Hiratsuka going to the capital, only pausing when Dongfang Ming’s phone began to ring.

With Qin Shou’s permission, Sadako no longer fretted over the night of the full moon. Following the wishes of the "father of her child," she snuck into the Golden Roc’s dreams every few days. Through this back-and-forth, their illicit passion grew, eventually developing into nights of endless revelry.

The voice was soft, yet it carried clearly. The two centurions were struck with sudden realization, followed by such shock that they tightly covered their mouths, fearing they might cry out. They stood dazed, staring at each other for a long time, until Li Hanyun’s figure was no longer in sight.

"Old Zhu, what is the difficulty? Do you not know me by now? I always meet challenges head-on!" Long Yang scratched his head. He had a premonition, but he still could not fathom what Zhu Hongyuan was hiding up his sleeve.

If the door were breached, everyone inside would die. Yet, in his heart, Wukong inexplicably could not bear to see them perish. The mere thought of such a scene was unbearable, as if it would be more painful than his own death.

A beam of light descended from the sky, landing slowly on the ground of the Death Forbidden Zone. The figure was about eight meters tall, exceptionally burly, and possessed eyes the size of copper bells that commanded awe without anger. His exposed skin revealed black, vein-like patterns emitting a hazy mist, and his ears were covered in dark red scales that shone with a metallic luster.

They finally reached a patch of reeds untouched by the rockets, their appearance utterly disheveled. The entire Angry Dragon Shoal was shrouded in a sea of fire; rolling smoke surged toward them, accompanied by scorching heat waves, and their clothes were already tattered and charred by stray sparks.

The Eye of the Great Thousand provided him with an unparalleled foundation of spiritual power, but it also brought this drawback. In the process of continuous burning, consumption, and regeneration, he felt his spiritual power and soul slowly aligning, as if they were merging into one, becoming increasingly easier to control.

Mufeng hesitated for a moment before opening his own box, picking up the black pill, and swallowing it. A moment later, a refreshing sensation flooded his limbs and bones, as if he had returned to the vigor and vitality of his youth.

Due to a chance encounter, this young man and a celestial maiden fell in love, only to be cast into the netherworld by the new Emperor, transformed into the flowers of the underworld—the spider lilies.

Afterimage was indeed arrogant. Having moved behind Shi Jingtian with such incredible speed, he chose not to strike, as if teasing him.

However, after many matches, Wang Xiu had gained some experience. In truth, during a level-one team fight, what mattered was output, not positioning.

"Sigh, in your current state, how can your mother rest easy?" The Empress Dowager looked at her son’s haggard face and sighed, shaking her head.

"This is likely the will of heaven," I said with a bitter smile. Shen Yu, if you knew that Ye Yao was the relative you had been searching for all along, and if you knew that Xiao Ziling had committed unforgivable acts against Ye Yao, would you still continue to help him?

Su Ruohan shook his fan, a subtle, unreadable expression flickering across his handsome face, but in the end, he remained silent.

Since Duan Jinyuan had given his promise, those who had long sought to climb the social ladder and improve their positions naturally reciprocated by pledging their loyalty.

"Third, fourth, fifth, sixth, your second brother and I have come to visit you." The old man bent down and bowed deeply before the monument to the heroes.

The force of the airflow was immense, carrying the three of them directly to the cliff beside Heaven’s Pool. If they did not leap up, they would likely fall from at least two thousand meters once their spiritual power faded.

"I shall see the Magistrate immediately; I will take responsibility for whatever happens," Li Ye said. He was heading to Donghai County specifically to find Magistrate Ouyang.

Hearing Huahua say this, A-Xiang did not think of how Brother Chao was doing, but rather of the vengeful methods Huahua used when jealous.

Seeing that Chen Dong truly needed help, Captain Tian drained his bowl in one gulp and said, "Speak. Just for the sake of these jars of fine wine tonight, as long as it is something I can do, I agree."
