Chapter 26

On the surface, it appeared that Chifeng Yu’s backpack had mysteriously vanished, but in reality, he knew it had simply been placed into his wristband via spatial compression technology.

A layer of purple flame flickered over Chen Qi, a phenomenon that had not appeared even during his previous battles with the members of the Renaissance Society.

"What’s done is done; we can only focus on resolving it. But given Kexin’s current state, nothing we say will be heard—it would only be adding fuel to the fire. So, let’s let her calm down first. I will explain everything to her clearly," Wang Xudong said, looking at Su Wanqi.

Although Yun Chi’s features were striking, it was her eyes that were the most remarkable; they were so beautiful that one was easily distracted from everything else.

If he lacked any real power, he could simply abandon him and flee should they encounter danger.

Accelerator had entertained these suspicions before, but after Chen Qi captured him, he did not replicate his supernatural abilities.

Rolling his eyes, Tu Yujing refrained from being acerbic, though once he let his tongue loose, he showed no mercy. People were already foolish enough; now they were even worse.

Murong Jie was different from the other princes. Having been raised in the lap of luxury, he naturally could not bear to see him suffer any grievances.

In her previous life, she had heard that after the Sect Master of the Longevity Sect was treated as an honored guest by Doukou, he had chosen this Ascetic Zen Monastery as his residence. Doukou had even spent a vast sum of money to renovate the monastery for him.

Setting aside such gossip, there was still the matter of Consort Liang to address. The Emperor was not moved by any lingering affection, but he did consider his other son, Murong Xin; Consort Liang was, after all, his mother.

Gu Yanfei felt even more dizzy and disoriented. Her heart hammered against her ribs; she was... bewitched.

"Tong Ruo, do you really have to harp on what I said in a moment of anger? You know how I feel about you; my heart is truly—" Leng Shaochen poked his chest forcefully, over and over again.

Mo Ran gave everyone a day to say their goodbyes to their loved ones and to adjust their states of mind.

He Ze arched a brow, a hint of triumph in his expression, and after glancing at Chen Nian a few more times, he finally turned away.

Dean Lin was a very strong-willed woman. Once she gave her word, whether out of willingness or necessity, she would never go back on it. Since she had already stated that she accepted Lin Yuanyuan’s approach, she truly meant it.

"Rest assured, I won't interfere. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility. Get out," Xi Ru said, clearly displeased.

For Bai Ling and the others, it had only been a day, but for him, it had been many years since he had last seen them all.

Wanfeng City was built around a mountain peak, giving the entire city the shape of a ring, which made its zoning vastly different from that of Banjiang. The city was divided into six sectors, each forming a sixty-degree arc centered on the mountain. The Chu Yun Barbecue Restaurant was located in the third sector, directly south of the peak, which was naturally where the Green Dragon Society was based.

Yang Donglin was deeply embarrassed that people from the hotel had caused such trouble, nearly harming his friend’s younger sister.

Seeing the medicinal pill, the black insect lunged forward, swallowing it before it even hit the ground.

"Some people spend spirit stones in vain, only to buy useless clues," Wen Qiuqing added as a warning, though it was unclear if she was reminding Chang Sheng or herself.

Everyone looked up to see the sky above the underground city covered in thick, dark clouds, with lightning and thunder raging as if the end of the world had arrived.

When Xia sent Jiang Sen off, Chen Fangping was naturally unwilling to lag behind. Although his excuse was ridiculous, he held Xia’s hand tightly, with an intimacy akin to Siamese twins. Perhaps in Xia’s mind, this was not a big deal, as in her eyes, Chen Fangping was, after all, "extraordinary" at the moment.

Yi Tong offered me an ambiguous smile, stood up to clear the dishes, and turned to make the bed.

Dozens of Nascent Souls and dozens of sword lights unleashed a combined strike that shook the heavens and the earth.

"When you go to the academy, you must respect your teachers and be kind to your fellow students. Your father has taught you many lessons; though you are Crown Princes, you must be even more cautious in your words and actions. Do not be arrogant or overbearing; learn to be patient and humble. Do you understand?" Xi Yi, usually a gentle man, looked stern, embodying the role of a strict father.

The moment Zhang Yiren saw the golden spirit talisman, she immediately drew the Nether Soul-Hooking Blade from her boot and began to examine it carefully.

Mu Ruo chose the Gate of Death. As he looked at the character for "death" on the door, he walked inside with an unruffled expression.

Moreover, since Taoism emphasized transcending the world, unlike Buddhism which emphasized engaging with it, Taoism’s influence among the common people had dwindled, while Buddhism found a vast market.

His voice successfully caused everyone to bow their heads, retreating to the side with fearful respect. An elderly man with white hair and a beard, dressed in silver robes, walked in through the doorway, holding a golden staff with a gentle smile on his face.

If one had to find common ground, it was that the scripts were decent, the actors performed well, and the production was quite earnest within the limits of the budget.

Chu Bai remembered that in his previous life, the Daxing Town base spent the first half-month frantically gathering steel bars, bricks, sand, cement, and refugees. Only after half a month did they truly begin constructing the city wall, and it took over a month to complete. Chu Bai had joined the labor force during the construction of that wall.

The hills below Mount Zhaoge had been razed to the ground, and the gale was on the verge of sweeping up the mountain.

The reflexes and visual acuity of these people far exceeded those of ordinary humans; if they were truly let loose to run about, it would likely cause mass panic.

But they were on the open sea, and he was a "landlubber" who couldn't swim, leaving him momentarily at a loss.
