Chapter 32: This Is a Lone Skiff

If she could help it, Xia Huanjiao truly did not want to admit that they were disciples of the Sword Sect.

Bai Lianyi, however, gazed at Xu Yingying with eyes full of lingering affection. She had not forgotten how formidable the cultivator’s methods had been just moments ago. If she could only get him to escort her through this secret realm, she would no longer face such perils. She would surely be safe. Stepping forward, she looked up at the cultivator who had saved her and pleaded, "Could you... could you please help me?"

Seeing Ye Ye’s "no tickee, no laundry" attitude, William and Aiden ignored him further and headed straight toward the main gate.

After dinner, He Tiantian returned to her boudoir, while He Chengcanset aside his affairs to visit Song Lekai alone.

"My dear, what is the matter? Do you still feel I am not worthy of your family?" Liu Shisan’s words sounded somewhat biting, but they were the reality; one does not realize how strict the rules of a wealthy family are until they enter one, nor do they realize how many regulations there are.

"We must live up to Manager Lin’s expectations!" the crowd shouted in unison before turning and hurrying away.

Lin Yu nodded, understanding Zhang Zitong’s feelings and thoughts, though his expression remained complex and conflicted.

"Is it going to be like yesterday? Do those people need a beating before they’ll behave?" Sanbao tilted his head, peering at Fu Tinghan. He and his brothers had been outside, but they had clearly heard the screams from within.

It was not arrogance on his part; in his view, as long as he lived, the nation of Huaguo would not dare to move against the Ji family.

Liu Shisan sat on the edge of the bed and used his fingers to gently zoom in on the image. After a careful look, he decided that it should be treatable.

Those who usually lived in a state of high tension were now completely relaxed, no longer burdened by any concerns.

Xu Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead and called out, "Connect." Instantly, the President of the Earth Alliance, Li Jiaguo, appeared before him. Li Jiaguo’s face was filled with gravity as he spoke in an exceptionally serious tone, "Citizens, please do not panic. I am now announcing a major decision."

When a master of alchemy cultivates, they use their spiritual power as a guide to draw the energy of heaven and earth through the Baihui point at the crown of their head, tempering their entire body. His method of cultivation, which drew the energy of heaven and earth into the limbs and bones, was, in a sense, no different from that of the powerful masters in the alchemy realm.

Suddenly, a whirlwind swept up behind the two men, and the surrounding dust gathered toward the eye of the wind. A moment later, as the gale dissipated, a gloomy, tall, and thin man faced Zhang Lie and knelt respectfully on the ground.

"Speak, tell me what this is all about. Since I have sworn an oath of brotherhood with you, we must be honest with each other from now on." Seeing Biyue hesitate, Xu Luo spoke up.

Jenny Zhuo did not know whether she should believe Zhang Hongsheng’s words. The statement sounded somewhat reasonable, but no one could guarantee if it were the truth.

Such abnormal offensive and defensive capabilities forced Dongxue Wanqing to suspect that the opponent’s means of attack or weapons possessed effects of instant kills—whether single or double hits—ignoring defense or even causing immediate death.

However, at this moment, I could not control myself. My actions were entirely beyond the command of my own thoughts; I was driven solely to find Qiao Maizi.

All nine of them knew that Chen Luo was in a great hurry. Once Chen Luo requested their help, they immediately sprang into action.

Seated in the open-top carriage newly rented by Old Yu, Li Qing set off in high spirits, drawing surprised gazes from passersby who pointed at him as he passed. Li Qing was even more pleased, wishing he could hold up a sign that read: The Newly Appointed Magistrate.

The sword rain collided with hundreds of Fire-Cloud Purple-Electric Lions, setting off dazzling, blinding explosions of fire. Within the beast-fighting cage, turbulent shockwaves rolled out. Fortunately, the cage was crafted from an exceptionally unique material, and with the traces of array fluctuations surrounding it, it was clear that it was reinforced by magical formations.

No sooner had Jin Feng finished speaking than Yi Qianning noticed An Ran’s eyes turn red, clearly infuriated by Jin Feng’s words. Yet, he said nothing, instead pulling the person in his arms even tighter.
