Volume 1, Chapter 43: So It Was Him

However, from this aura, Haochen also sensed a deeply unsettling feeling. This presence felt somewhat familiar to him, bearing a resemblance to the evil sensation emanating from the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Desolate Heaven Realm.

While Okamine Tamue was raising her head and lecturing those boys, Zhai Nan walked in right after.

Jiraiya was inwardly shocked. To think that someone would dare to provoke both Konoha and Sunagakure at the same time! It seemed that the person who attacked the Anbu and abducted Gaara was no ordinary entity.

For these hundreds of millions of years, the lands beyond the realm had been subjected to an absolute catastrophe—a disaster living in darkness.

It was already so late today, and it was impossible for anyone else to come here now. Just the thought of being entangled by such slimy tentacles all night long made her feel that this was the most tragic thing in the world.

Leiyu thought about how he had obtained that scroll and destroyed it, yet that fellow Duan Yu had still managed to learn those two supreme martial arts. This made Leiyu feel that certain things were inevitably bound to happen regardless.

Hu Yizhou nodded, his expression completely devoid of fluctuation, without even a trace of anger.

"Three Great Luo Golden Immortals, nine Taiyi Golden Immortals! Over a hundred Golden Immortals—is this the foundation of Dragon Valley? It seems they are going to play for real this time!!" Seeing this, a fierce glint flashed across the depths of Haochen's eyes. The strength of Dragon Valley was far greater than he had anticipated.

"Hey, brother." Zhou Jielun took the initiative to greet Leiyu. There was nothing for it; the three of them felt bound by some strange, inexplicable fate, and very naturally they began calling each other brothers.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you," Leiyu said softly, inhaling the fragrance emanating from her.

Since the principal's office was completely soundproof, people outside could only see the movements inside without hearing a single word being spoken.

Upon hearing this sound, the leader of the 5th Squad immediately waved his hand, and the special operations members behind him instantly halted their advance and crouched down.

"Sorry, I'm waiting for someone," Wu Bi said. At that moment, the figure of Jin Feier came into view. Summer had this advantage—even at 6 PM, the sky was not yet dark; in winter, it would have been pitch black long ago.

However, things went wrong because they were discovered by the US military. It turned out that the US military had all along remained skeptical of the Japanese forces' ability to hold out for so long; the Japanese must have had a supply route that had simply eluded detection, so they had kept it under rigorous surveillance.

The Milo Kingdom had fallen, the Oga Duchy had seized a mithril vein, and conspirators looking to get a share of the spoils along with various large mercenary groups were all rushing toward the Oga Duchy.

Xia Fangyuan merely looked expressionlessly at the game, finished a bottle of beer, and opened another.

The Karluk tribe had been won over by him himself. If he accepted their gifts, he feared it would invite criticism behind his back, making it difficult to explain things to Lvshu and Lin Xun'er. Once word got out, having a ready excuse to speak up for the Karluk tribe would also prove convenient.

Of course, Wang Yi did not have the leisure to help the Holy See and Westerners. His sole concern was slaying the vampires and other creatures that had sneaked onto Heavenly Thunder Island.

Xiao Zhenzhu said: "You father and son whispering behind our backs—are you trying to drive Lin'er away? My grandson is raised by me, and Lin'er is brought up by me; how does that interfere with you?"

With no time to ponder why so many demons were entrenched here, Goodman caught the gaze of the Eredar demon, and a murderous intent instantly surged in his heart. His eyes swept swiftly across all the enemies, and he lifted his foot to charge forward.

"Hehe, I know. I guarantee the mission will be completed tomorrow." Liu Changyong was in high spirits at the moment, so Li Fang诚 naturally had no need to play the bad cop. Besides, appropriate relaxation was also necessary.

And this was precisely the reason why Yan Shu chose gold leaves; he understood all too well just how powerful an attraction such a luster held for these physically impaired individuals.

This was Bianjing, and he was from a military noble family. What on earth was going on here? Why did he feel as though he were no longer in the Great Song?

Controlling the hero according to the walkthrough, he headed to the Gaiana Cave north of the Nilocent Cave—the legendary source of calamity.

"Long time no see. You really came. Come, Elder Jin happens to be here, follow me," Zhao Shanhe said with a smile.

The Sect Master was shrouded in a layer of red gas, his expression extremely gloomy. With a clenched fist, a sonic boom echoed through the void as he lunged forward and unleashed a furious punch.

Most importantly was the headline content. Since this reporter possessed a conscience in the industry—or perhaps because he was a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, or simply possessed a stubborn head—he actually dared to rush into the detention room and personally interview the detained dragon princess, Goglurera, on an issue concerning an Apostle's domestic affairs that all other media outlets desperately avoided.

Only two or three months had passed since this incident, and Zhao Yunbi's health had constantly been poor—entirely angered by this rebellious son. Even if he had the heart to share Zhao Dezhao's worries, given how disgraceful his own son was, he dared not push him forward.

The gazes of all cultivators shifted from Ye Tian and Han Ge to the whirlpool hovering overhead.

"I will surely... be worthy of you. Please wait for me!" The final sentence was also a declaration to Lina. Having spoken, 9S resolutely departed in the opposite direction of Lina.

Fortunately, Bei Mingyou still knew that staring fixedly at someone was impolite, and she quickly gave a light cough to shift her attention elsewhere.
