Volume 1, Chapter 25: The Noble Consort Appears to be Assessing Xiangzhu

Tong Lexi felt a sudden embrace, but she was not startled. She had grown accustomed to this person appearing and disappearing at will; she was simply not the type to panic, especially given her naturally easygoing and bold temperament.

Based on the trajectory of movement, Jiang Zhuofan had predicted Chiba Junko's path, but upon reaching the mountainside, he discovered she was moving at a snail’s pace and could not help but burst into a string of curses.

Qingluan beckoned, and Shangguan Feng, who was not far off, immediately came over to head to the parking lot together. Jiang and Feng boarded the Ghost Shadow, while Shangguan Feng and Qingluan took an armored vehicle, the two cars leaving the track one after the other.

At this moment, on the outskirts of the ancient battlefield, a dense mass of low-level ghost mist gathered together, forming a continuous shroud.

Aguda was quite satisfied with his powerful punch, but the sound of air being torn apart rang out again. Tan Lang’s spear thrust came at a tricky angle. His momentum hindered, Aguda sensed danger and was forced to retreat, but he was a fraction too slow. The spear grazed his ribs, piercing through and bringing forth a spray of blood.

Thus, in the foyer of the Mochou Lake residence, the young man wrapped his own green robes around Zhiyuan’s shivering body, allowing her to feel a sliver of warmth in that chilling, biting world.

A human life, spanning but a few years, is nothing more than a passing cloud. Xue Dongyi puffed out his chest, waiting for death with unflinching pride.

Thinking of this, Liu Yunwei signaled to Lu Ying, who spurred his horse closer to Yuan Mingxuan. At the same time, Lu Ying picked up a heavy bow from his saddle, held a feathered arrow in one hand, and scanned the surroundings with extreme vigilance.

Bai Shu loved three types of flowers in his life: first, the magnolia, carved like jade and delicate, breathing a fragrance like orchids; second, the pear blossom, with its clear bones and icy skin, falling like snow once withered.

Company Commander Yang Tianbo followed the guide at the head of the company, gazing with great interest at the scenery on both banks. Having heard that the Third Battalion under Chen Youfu and Luo Jingyun had taken this route while marching north to Xinzheng Dam last year, he began to ask the guide about it.

After Xu Manyu left, Zhang Heming tidied up the house a bit before preparing to head out himself.

Yet, what had just happened, and why Zhuo Yiwu had failed in the blink of an eye, remained a mystery in everyone’s hearts.

On the morning of the trial, Gu Yifeng happily donned a green dharma robe to match the environment and arrived nonchalantly at the altar, where many of the Wood Dragon tribe had already gathered.

As for the other reason, it was naturally because Zhang Heming wanted to use this method to kickstart his entrepreneurial journey.

Moreover, this was only the first step; there were much higher mountains to climb later. Li Xiang felt a shiver just thinking about it. Even if he could manage all of this, and even if his luck was better than others, it would take at least forty or fifty years to reach that point, wouldn't it?

Because he didn't need to look; that fool would surely be ecstatic. And then, he would immediately start trying to find a way in that direction.

He Youyi knew that the "doing something" the young master mentioned was definitely not what he himself called "making a living," but something truly significant. The fire in He Youyi’s heart burned fiercely once more.

With a thunderous explosion, Cheng Jinghong was sent reeling back, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth as his beast-spirit power dissipated.

As Xu Tian’s arm recovered, Xiao He’s side wound also strangely sealed itself, ceasing to bleed. Xu Tian inwardly marveled; truly worthy of being a descendant of a divine beast, possessing a bloodline that allowed for recovery capabilities rivaling his own Star Bloodline.

"If it’s only a strand of consciousness, then things are easier to handle," everyone thought to themselves. Such a consciousness didn’t possess much lethality; it could only control the power of this ancient warship, which was the only reason they were trapped here.

With the giant strength of the black ape, combined with its wood-element arts, how could Qi Yubai withstand such a blow?

Wang Linfeng looked thoughtful, yet he did not fully trust Brother Ye, instead staring intently at Ye Xiao as he asked.

This Yan Bizhen was the strongest peak-level High Saint Venerable beneath the half-step Heavenly Emperor, and her sixth-level half-Wind Dao Heart was even more formidable.

"Rumble!" The secret underground chamber suddenly shook violently. Countless rocks fell, including boulders weighing over a thousand pounds plummeting from dozens of meters above. If he were struck, Jiang Yu had little confidence he could survive it, even with his powerful physique.

"It seems you are quite lucky; at least the Purifying Spirit Green Lotus has appeared in this world, and you still have a chance to obtain it," Yin Tianhong said with a soft laugh.

Finding his seat, he sat down. Having drunk quite a bit of wine that evening, he closed his eyes, ready to sleep.

This was the ultimate speed in the world; whether for pursuit or escape, it was the most enviable secret technique in existence.

He now even found himself nostalgic for the time before he had cultivation. Back then, he was carefree and free; how could there be so many burdens and responsibilities?

Zhang Jinzhong had simply walked away, taking all his men and even the intelligence network he had laid out over decades with him.

Naturally, she wanted the money, but the problem was that the other party was very cunning, specifying "if you can see what the boss looks like." If she couldn't see it, the money would be wasted, and what’s more, her character "Wending" would be branded with a reputation for being selfish.

Off to the side, a phantom of a turtle mirror hovered. Seeming to feel challenged, it immediately unleashed its full power, forcefully suppressing the first turtle mirror phantom.

Not long after lunch, Cai Xu left his carriage with Tie Niu and, led by a servant, rode his horse toward the location of Huang Ju and the others.
