Volume 1, Chapter 41: Nailed It

"Master Lin." The master refiner of the Myriad Demon Auction House looked at Lin Chen with newfound reverence and excitement.

"Lord of the Nine Palaces, what are those three black-robed knights doing?" The Grand Steward of the Azure Fire Great Swordsman frowned, unsettled by their actions. A sense of foreboding washed over him as he turned to question the Lord of the Nine Palaces.

Feng Yi sighed to himself. The pugilistic world was teeming with experts; without the support of skilled martial artists, the Imperial Inspection Bureau would truly find its hands tied when executing missions.

"No one knows how many dodos are left on this island. If you continue this reckless slaughter, they might all go extinct. What will we eat then? Are we to survive on fish every single day?" Xue Yao retorted, meeting Thomas’s gaze without a hint of fear or submissiveness.

His Majesty, King Wang, looked at the crowd and demanded, "Not yet, right? We haven't reached that desperate moment yet. We can still give it one more try—exerting every last ounce of strength, exhausting every last possibility, until there is truly nothing left to give."

At that moment, the Scarlet Dragon Halberd traced a magnificent arc of fire in the air, carrying a terrifying force as it smashed down toward Teng Kong’s head.

Liu Huai hesitated. If all these people were executed, the region of Harima Province would likely remain desolate for decades to come.

But tonight, not only was it very late, but they had also arrived at the second defensive wall, where the dangers were self-evident.

The next moment, surging flames converged, wrapping around him like maggots on bone, clashing incessantly against his surrounding sword qi.

Seeing her husband’s indifference toward Qian Jun’s marriage, Liu Caiqin smiled with satisfaction. She shifted slightly away and drifted into a peaceful sleep.

The two exchanged a glance. Zhong Kui tucked the Gale Electric Bolt into his robes; if they could fully secure the Dragon-Beard Gold, the Gale Electric Bolt would become useless to them, holding no further value.

"But... can you walk out of here?" Luo Shang’s brow furrowed. There was a barrier here, one set by Qing Lian, which even he was likely powerless to break. "However, even if you cannot leave, it does not matter. I am willing to stay here with you forever and ever."

Following this, great waves of energy erupted from Lu Dongpei’s palms, manifesting like two massive black wolves as he struck fiercely at Yun Hao.

The youth in green’s first instinct was that this man was his romantic rival. Thus, refusing to be outdone, he glared back coldly.

The sword intent, bolstered by the power of the Scarlet Eye Golden Pupils, was far more potent than what Yun Hao had previously manifested. Wherever it passed, the blood-corpse bats exploded instantly into mists of blood.

It is worth noting that after several life-and-death battles, once Zhao Zilong’s Foundation Establishment stage had stabilized, the Immortal Physician Wang transformed the wooden Guanyin pendant—which had previously aided his breakthrough—into a stream of light and infused it into his body.

Yet, compared to the common lotus flowers, this nine-tailed fox was still held in higher favor.

Back then, the Lord of the Guanghan Immortal must have been unwilling to die such a death, and thus sealed her own soul into the furnace, becoming its artifact spirit.

Ye Luo asked Lu Jiaoyan; driving for several hours on end was no easy task.

But if one had an extra attribute in their body that could suppress the magic of blood and qi, wouldn't that significantly reduce the risk?

The large black dog had been lying nearby the whole time. It hadn’t budged while Yang Yu caught and grilled the fish, but once the aroma wafted out, the dog couldn't help but drool. It stood up, walked behind Yang Yu, and nudged him with its nose to beg for a bite.

However, when his hands touched those pillars, they were... just pillars.

As they followed the mineral vein, the power of the curse grew increasingly immense. However, possessing the Soul-Suppressing Stele and the power of Holy Light, Ye Luo remained completely unaffected.

The Strange Demons were linked to ancient secrets, and Qian Tiannu had specifically warned Chu Ling not to leak any information before he left.

Qin Yan had rented an apartment through Meng Chao’s connections, and Meng Chao was racing against time to investigate the other princesses.

The leaves tumbled into the hollow of the tree and were gradually swallowed by a white light until they vanished entirely. The process was seamless, as if the hollow were bottomless.

Thus, Huang Yu followed Wang Chengzhi and his party inside the low wall, while the remaining men in black continued to stand behind the trees in the distance. Yang Yu helped the old beggar find a stone to sit on, preparing to wait there for Huang Yu to emerge.

After learning about the Cold Flame Flower from Ling An that night, the Second Master had dispatched many men to search for it. Fortunately, they had only just set out; if they had found the flower and plucked it rashly, wouldn't they have been throwing their lives away for nothing?

This device would disrupt the space within its range. Whether it was teleportation or the high-speed instantaneous movement used by Li Mu, everything would be guided to a designated location—where the most powerful enemies would be waiting for him.

"Protect his lordship!" The guards were alarmed. One had to remember that both of the previous two Emperors of the Empire had been assassinated. The guards’ nerves were at their most frayed, and upon seeing someone charge directly at them, they abandoned all caution, drawing their elemental weapons to intercept the intruder.
