Volume One, Chapter 29: Jealousy

Sensing he had been cornered by the white-haired monster, Hu Man secretly channeled the power of the ancient divine tiger, now purged of its malevolent aura.

Enemies who had been lying in ambush near the Tiger Tooth headquarters—in the trenches, outside the perimeter, and behind nearby rocks and trees—began to emerge.

Xuanyuan Hewu heard what Shaoyan said but offered no response. Although Shaoyan was on the side of the Xuanyuan clan, Xuanyuan Hewu was deeply dissatisfied with his performance at this moment.

He stood in the courtyard for a long time. The cold moonlight bathed the grounds, and he felt a sense of defeat and loneliness he had never known before. He had nothing left; he truly had nothing.

Unexpectedly, Leanna shook her head and said, "It’s not like that. Dealing with those guys won't take any effort at all." As she spoke, the corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile, and she appeared quite relaxed.

The Emperor of Fengdu tilted his head, looking somewhat uncertain and suspicious. Seeing the Heavenly Emperor nod at him with a resolute expression, as if making a promise, he fell silent.

And now, the technical bottleneck had finally been resolved. Earth possesses 10^21 kilograms—one hundred quintillion tons—of ocean water. One-millionth of that is deuterium and tritium, the hydrogen isotopes used for fusion, amounting to 10^15 kilograms.

"You Xi! I will show you the true talent of a Corpse Controller!" The man’s face twisted into a snarl. Among the Corpse Controllers, he had always been hailed as the Young Supreme, the Young King; wherever he went, people treated him with reverence. The appearance of You Xi had shattered his standing among them.

"That's not a problem. Just explain the situation to your mother. She is a reasonable person, and she likely wants Yue Lei to be taught a lesson as well," Long Sheng said.

Xiao Lang’s gaze fell on her handbag. Li Mingxi understood, opened the bag, and took out the household register and marriage certificate.

The moment they saw the attire of Xiao Siming and his two companions, the two fake police officers knew they were cut from the same cloth—the only difference being that they wore the skin of fake police, while Xiao Siming and his men were in plain clothes.

Mu Nanju’s eyes flickered as her memory was instantly pulled back to the events of that day; everything felt as if it had happened only yesterday.

Perhaps because she was in a good mood, Zhou Ziya found Shen Wei’s presence tolerable for once. She didn't take Shen Wei’s malice to heart and, in a fit of kindness, wanted to find someone to talk to. The candidates, naturally, were the two people in front of her.

And now... there wasn't even a chance to repeat what happened back then. In this world today, no one could sit firmly on the throne except for Prince Ding; whoever else tried would fail to command respect.

A cruel grin flashed in Guo Tu’s eyes. To deal with Cao Ang, four flying swords were enough! However, seeing Guo Jia walking forward slowly with a faint smile on his face, a sense of unprecedented crisis flashed through his mind.

In other words, Xu Le had been playing her from the very beginning! The irony was that she had naively thought she had successfully seduced him.

"I told you to go back and report to Fei'er. Besides, if you aren't here, they absolutely cannot hurt me. If you stay, I have to worry about your safety, which will only ruin the bigger plan," A-Xiang explained. But his explanation only served to poke a hornet's nest in the case of Momo.

"Actually, I don't even know if I like him," Lei Ting said, her voice growing weaker. She kept her head down, eating her snacks and chewing with a bit too much force.

Li Fan’s eyes were bloodshot, his reason completely lost. He charged ferociously toward the sky, his long sword swinging wildly in his hands without any technique, yet the speed and violent power of his strikes actually suppressed the Shadow Protector.

"Of course, its main purpose is not combat, but gathering intelligence and transmitting information. All information obtained by the Ghost Troops is transmitted to the Brain of Creation. It has many other uses as well, such as deducing spells and evolving laws, though it requires vast amounts of life energy," the Lich King said calmly.

As for the commanderies and kingdoms of Changshan, Zhongshan, Hejian, Bohai, and Leling, they serve as bait for Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou. Yangping, Weijun, and Pingyuan could even serve as bait for Yanzhou. Once these four commanderies sent their main forces to attack Jizhou, their own interiors would inevitably be left vulnerable, and the Yellow Turbans of the four provinces could rise up in response.

With the Thunder Blade Soul, possession is impossible unless the attacker’s power far exceeds Shen Cong’s. But for a fledgling ghost cultivator, it would have been impossible for Lian Yu to invade Shen Cong’s body if not for the Soul-Returning Flower, the unique environment of the Waterless River, and Shen Cong’s own weakened state.

The Emperor's teacher nodded and walked inside first. I hurried to follow. Turning into the valley, I discovered a thatched hut.

"I don't believe it! You must have used a magical artifact. You clearly only have the cultivation of a Monarch-level!" The Deer Demon, unconvinced, transformed into his true form. His aura increased more than tenfold, but he had no intention of fighting Yi Tianping head-on; he turned and fled.

"I would love to get on the stage, but unfortunately!" Shen Cong was eager to try, but to challenge someone on stage, he needed a ranking of at least fifteen wins. Clearly, Shen Cong did not have that, so he had no qualifications.

With the final bit of time remaining, I followed the joint advice of Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia and headed to the Persian theater of war.

Qian Fengxing called out three times, but there was no response, and no one came onto the stage. Qian Fengxing’s brow furrowed slightly; it seemed that even the monster core of a dragon beast was losing its appeal.

This Hundred Herb Sect... the detectives discovered it actually had over a thousand members. Why was such a large sect not even ranked, and why had no one in the martial arts world ever heard of the Hundred Herb Sect possessing such formidable power?

She said with indignation: "At a time like this, we don't even know where we are, and you're still thinking about that? You really are a scoundrel; you won't change even at the point of death."
