Volume 1, Chapter 33: Shen Sisi, You Are a Good Mother

Yang Qiuxia’s scalp was still swollen, and the pain was so excruciating that she couldn't even bear to touch it. That was the only reason she was standing out in the cold wind, hoping to bring the swelling down. That woman, Shen Sisi, had humiliated her completely that afternoon and even forced her to write a letter of apology. She had suffered enough shame, and to make matters worse, Old Chen had given her a dressing-down after she returned.

If the city of Sanxiao had previously been a ruin of crumbling walls and broken tiles, it was now thoroughly reduced to dust in the wake of this terrifying aftermath. Gu Chao had been transmigrated for two years, and although he had been quite diligent in gathering information from all sides, he had truly never heard of these Blood Crystals of the Demonic Sect.

When Rells walked into the cavern, he never expected to encounter this legendary object. Whether out of sheer terror or some other reason, his legs felt as if they were weighted with lead; he could not move a muscle.

Do not use all your means at once; use them bit by bit. Keep your trump cards hidden, and only play the next one when the current one is exhausted.

Driven by desperation, Yamane Nobunari had no choice but to order a suicide squad to carve a path of blood forward. If they could break into Huwei Port, the thousand-plus men he led might survive; otherwise, they would likely be annihilated right here.

Today was the registration day for the Tiance Academy of Superpowers. Yuan Jie and Yuan Xifeng arrived at the academy early in the morning.

She was truly afraid of ghosts, but seeing the keen interest in his eyes, she knew his heart was set. Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the mule driver’s response, and her spirit suddenly deflated. By this point, the matter was eighty percent settled; there was no need to ask further.

Although the spiritual energy within the Jade Essence Pearl had been drained, the transparent bead remained quite lovely. Even in the mundane world, it would be considered an extraordinary treasure, so Shi Hong tossed it into his jade belt.

Even if Shi Hong were a disciple of an ancient clan, Fire Master Yan would not consider him a problem. A young disciple like Shi Hong had no capacity to cause trouble for an elder of an ancient clan like Fire Master Yan.

Before Lin Ruyue had gone to the Xuanzhou Heavenly Street, although she was ranked among the Four Beauties of Northern Ice, her strength was not considered the best. However, after obtaining the Earth Lung Cold Jade, her cultivation had advanced in leaps and bounds, showing faint signs of becoming the leader of the four. Yet, she had unexpectedly declared that she was no match for the opponent.

It was not that she was afraid! It was merely that the old man’s words had revealed that the ancestor of the Long family was also present.

Yelü Zhuaici calculated the days in his mind. Today was only the fourth day, and it would be the afternoon of the day after tomorrow before Yelü Talie arrived in Nanjing with his main force. Since that was the case, why would Xiao Siwen want to discuss matters with him now? Could it be that the Zhou army had already reached the city walls?

Li Ergou shouted, "Form a circular defensive formation!" He climbed to a high vantage point, hoping to see which direction the attacking army was heading. Suddenly, his heart sank and a buzzing sound filled his head. This... what should he do?

Halfway up the mountain, on the stone steps, Yang Chen stared blankly at the members of "Mubang" who had previously surrounded them, now lying dead on the ground.

"Hiss-hiss!" The Sandworm King hissed angrily at Meng Yueyun. It was evident that this move had wounded it severely.

"Tie the sack tight and throw it straight into the sea to drown," Lin Feng said. "President Qin ordered us to make it look clean—no bodies left behind!" He chuckled to himself; for low-level, dim-witted thugs like these, a scheme of sowing discord worked quite well.

Other masters from various Daoist and Demonic sects rushed to the scene, surrounding the area. Their eyes were filled with indescribable shock; the master of the Zhantian Sect leader, Mo Liekun, was actually the traitor who had betrayed the Zhantian Sect.

The two who had been at daggers drawn suddenly backed down. Xiang Yurou shot Meng Yueyun a fierce glare before stepping aside.
