Volume 1, Chapter 24: Grandfather Hospitalized

A hoarse voice came from the other end of the line, followed by dead silence.

The smile on the middle-aged man’s face froze instantly, replaced by icy killing intent and soaring rage.

"Tell Shadow to take action and finish him off."

"This time, he must not be allowed to survive!"

"Otherwise..."

"I understand. I’ll get it done right away."

The call ended, and the middle-aged man looked up.

If anyone were here, they would surely recognize this man as Ji Wuhen, the head of the Ji family, one of the three great royal clans of Shangjing!

After the call disconnected, Ji Wuhen crushed the phone in his hand, his face twisted in a ferocious fury!

"The Zhou family's..."

However, when his longbow collided with the Brightlight Sword, it snapped in two instantly, completely failing to block the latter's thrust.

"You’ve already sent people to track those guys, haven't you? It's a pity they boarded a subspace rift starship and left as soon as they exited the venue!" Sha Zhenghai sighed.

"How... how could you possibly know? Which king of the ancient god clans are you?" Baladilen’s expression shifted, his voice filled with palpable tension and gravity.

This sound acted like a signal, pulling everyone back from their reveries. He Da Dianxiong’s heart hammered violently, and Wilson’s expression grew even more solemn.

A thick scent of blood permeated the mountain forest. Blood flowed everywhere, staining the hillsides red, while the wails of the wounded rang out incessantly, echoing long through the silent mountains.

Regardless of whether others looked on with jealousy or envy, Wei Changfeng acted as if he didn't see them.

Leng'er paused for a moment. Looking at Qi Yue, her eyes softened with the same tenderness as when they first met. Her pink pupils shimmered as she suddenly reached out to pull Qi Yue forward; she threw herself into his embrace and kissed his lips.

Looking up at the six guides closing in from all sides, he raised his ice-blue divine sword inch by inch, meeting their lethal strikes without a hint of agitation.

"Your Highness is only eighteen, right? To have already reached the rank of War King—such cultivation speed is unbelievable even in the era of the Star Abyss Alliance! No wonder the Star-Luo Heavenly Palace values you so highly!" Kresslun laughed.

Sure enough, after injecting Jiang Zhuyun with the antidote, only two or three minutes passed before she let out a long sigh and regained consciousness.

At this moment, the phone on the bedside table rang inappropriately. Cen Kexin picked it up and glanced at it; it was her lawyer.

Inside the temple, countless rays of brilliance shot up from beneath the earth, intertwining in the sky and shrouding the entire temple in a faint barrier.

Watching Yang Chen being besieged, those he had saved felt complex emotions, but in the end, some turned away resolutely.

Yet, once she had everything, she wanted even more. For example, a stable family, or perhaps, the heart of Wei Yefeng.

Li Zixiao said nothing and picked up another dart. He had thought hitting two balloons with one dart earlier was just pure luck and hadn't paid it much mind.

The man in black was horrified. What kind of hatred could ignore the bone-deep pain caused by the base fluid? Could this be the uniqueness of the Golden Bloodline? Swallowing hard, the man in black felt a chill; it was simply inconceivable.

Ye Zhen thought that if Jun Ninglan were here to hear Ye Hua’s words, he would surely be furious. She smiled slightly and said calmly, "So that’s how it is. No wonder you are so agitated, brother." She beckoned Miao Lan to brew some tea.

Just as she was flusteredly trying to explain, a gentle force pulled her into an embrace. With her back pressed against a scorching chest, she simply fell into the arms of her benefactor.

Li Zixiao felt so aggrieved. It was clearly you who stopped me to ask all those questions! Although he was wrongly accused, the result was good—at least his ears could be at peace for a while.

"When your Xuhu Hall unifies the cultivation world, I will consider it." The white shadow laughed loudly and suddenly vanished.

Ye Feng waved his hand and slipped into the square tripod, speeding toward the nearby Feiyang Peak.

"Hey, come with me, old man, I have something for you!" Before Ye Feng could even catch his breath, Elder Yuan grabbed him and walked outside.

Without giving it time to cry out, the giant palm clamped down suddenly. The peak silver-tier creature immediately felt the sound of its bones shattering, and its consciousness grew dim.

Zhong Yuan was no exception. As the brilliant light of the Three Realms Mirror peeled back layer after layer of spatial barriers to peer truly into the netherworld, Zhong Yuan’s eyes opened to their widest, his pupils shimmering with divine light. His vision was pushed to its absolute limit.

Mi Lianzi had indeed forgotten, because for these past days, she had been unable to think of anything else while facing Qing Feng.

"The Sect Master is wise; this disciple cannot hope to catch up." Xia Chaochen offered a respectful compliment, which pleased Li Cangfeng enough to make him laugh again.

Mrs. Du’s original intention was to worry that Rose and Hu Bin were getting too close and would eventually end up together.

The top disciples of the Condensing Dharma stage selected by each sect walked into the venue one after another; the winner for the Heaven-Defying Sword Sect was Liu Zhinan.

However, while everyone hesitated, it turned out that the Zhu woman was quite formidable. She fought with extreme ruthlessness; Sun Zude, a weak man hollowed out by excessive indulgence, was no match for her. His face was scratched up, and his hair was firmly gripped in her hand.

After Liu Shouchai tucked a living soul into a ceramic jar, the teacher wrote the soul's name on it. Badou then covered the mouth of the jar with yellow paper and sealed it with red brick mud mixed with boy's urine.

Ye Qi's action of finding a direction and moving forward steadily made the warden sneer in disdain. Clearly, the warden had categorized Ye Qi's behavior as a desperate flight; after all, in a situation that was absolutely favorable to him, that was the only path the other party could take.

Not to mention the dark battles between the wives and concubines of Prince Zhao, at this moment, the wet nurse was holding the baby and bowing to the arriving guests.

Su Jinluo had her doubts; in the special forces, one couldn't just leave whenever they wanted. But thinking of Old Master Jin’s status, it wasn't impossible if he intervened.

"This is the true Dragon Claw Hand; Jiukong has truly mastered this!" Liu Shouchai praised.

Jia Sidao was speechless. These were just the most common brand effects and chain store models from later generations. If he were to bring out advertising and the like, wouldn't their jaws hit the floor?

"Where is his father?" Duan Qinyan suddenly felt a surge of unease. If the Evil King Palace was fine, then the magic treasure she saw last time—when she met Qiu Kuang’s father, the Evil King Kongji Xie—must not have been his. Perhaps he had been plotted against?

This time, when the Nan family was investigated, the An family members even treated him as the culprit. For a time, Nan Jianchun felt extremely aggrieved, truly unable to clear his name.

This undisguised gaze made Jin Ye even more unsettled. His cheeks flushed with a tinge of red, losing his usual cold rigidity and gaining a bit of a boyish shyness.

"Three o'clock direction." Guan Yi suddenly activated his Spirit-Piercing Eye, vaguely catching a glimpse of the situation. It was too far away; even at his current top speed, it would take fifteen minutes to reach them.
