Volume 1, Chapter 65: New Colleagues

Ji Mo did not hide anything from his casual elder brother and directly explained his entire situation.

The assailant's objective seemed to have been directed at Chen Ming from the very beginning, and Chen Ming also appeared to be aware of this.

With only about a week left until his appointment with Kurapika, and perhaps due to constantly wandering around everywhere, there was still no sign of Kurapika anywhere.

Meanwhile, Ji Lin'er, Ji Liao, and the others looked curiously toward the distant sky. These two powerful auras made even them feel a sense of trembling, yet they had no idea who had arrived.

Lin Nie only felt as if a mountain had suddenly been pressed down upon her shoulders, causing her entire body to sink heavily. The sandy ground all around her feet was deeply indented, as if struck fiercely by an invisible giant palm.

"So it's you!" Upon seeing that it was Long Tianqi, the monster let out a quiet sigh of relief. He had thought some hidden master of the world had appeared, but it turned out to be nothing more than a mere brat.

"Master, aren't you going to pursue and kill Long Teng? He is guilty of heinous crimes! Oh right, and that mermaid monster by his side—she should be hacked into a thousand pieces!" said Lianyu.

The Scarlet Heaven Sovereign was consumed by rage. He had never been looked down upon in such a manner. That condescending attitude, hovering high above his head—even when he had suffered extreme humiliation before Shi Lingming in the past, he had never felt anything like this. The shadow of that youth had actually caused severe psychological pressure on his mind.

Feng Qingxue flashed away, finding a large tree with lush branches and leaves nearby that could at least shield her from view.

A ferocious wild ox roared, shattering a mountain peak as it charged out, its entire body wreathed in black mist that practically blotted out the sky and sun. Its physique was easily four or five stories tall. As soon as this fierce beast rushed out, its four hooves trampled the earth, splitting the ground apart as it charged straight toward Qin Yao.

She flew back to the medicine garden, took some silver coins she had earned from selling medicine at Renjitang, and hid them on her body.

Xiao Ruyun did not ask what the item was; the necklace of gems around the puppet matron's neck and the six gem-inlaid gold bracelets on her wrists were both possibilities. Once the principle was explained, it was actually quite simple—it was equivalent to talisman paper that possessed more complex technology yet simpler operation.

"Are you saying the ones you saw were recruits? Commander Liu, are recruits in the recruit company allowed to wander around everywhere at night?" Recalling how earlier over there, she had almost been blown away just trying to go out and watch the commotion, she wondered if there were similar rules here.

And now, a mere shred of chaotic power was certainly no match for the Ten-Extinction Demon Lord, a top-tier Earth Immortal grandmaster, which was why he had decisively fled.

"What are you referring to?" Ning Yufei was very restless. A month had already passed, yet he was utterly helpless. Could he accomplish it in the remaining two months? He had zero confidence.

Ye Fei smiled faintly and said, "I just happen to like Daoist practices. I practice for a while every day before going to school, treating it as physical exercise." Hearing Yangsen's words, a wave of secret delight surged in his heart. The Myriad Wonders Innate Technique seemed to be a Daoist qi-cultivation method, and combined with the Eight Trigrams Interlocking Palms, it shouldn't conflict.

Long Hentai's figure came to an abrupt halt. Looking at the golden-yellow giant bird that had abruptly appeared before his eyes, he immediately understood that this was the apex predator of this world.

The breadth of her business coverage could be considered the very best even among the Four Great Clans! Within the borders of Tiance, the extent of her eyes and ears among the common folk was probably something even Zhang Mai couldn't match! The anomalies that Han Yanhui could detect through spies naturally could not be hidden from her either.

Upon returning to the Penglai Immortal Sect, his master immediately announced seclusion to study this Golden Immortal-grade physical body. Meanwhile, he used his accumulated sect contributions to exchange for a series of rare materials within the sect, before returning to the sect headquarters on Junshan Island.

Walking in along with the voice was Fatty Zhu, accompanied by a giant of a man even taller and sturdier than Fatty Zhu himself. Neither of these two men cast even a glance at the Giant Spirit God.

Until this day, he received a notice from the centurion guide: the newly appointed Daunian commander wanted to see him.

Didn't that mean... Xu Ziwei was going to challenge Gu Haiyu and intended to pull him down from his pedestal?

Right at that moment, he heard some good news: Thurii had mobilized a full army of ten thousand to attack Laos, only to be completely wiped out.

The teleportation array needed to breach spatial barriers and required a massive amount of energy, and this energy had to be provided by Astral Origin Stones.

Wu Qingcheng felt a trace of bitter self-mockery in her heart. Although she didn't care for most of the people within the Phoenix Clan either, hearing her own race spoken of in such a manner still felt a bit strange. However, Ye Chen truly lived up to being Ye Zhengfeng's father; every word he uttered exuded the exact same overbearing dominance.

After dinner, Shi Zhongyu and Shi Lei went to rest early. Their trip into the mountains today had exhausted them thoroughly. Ling Duying, accompanied by Qingnians, and followed closely by Hu Mei'er and Qingdie, arrived in front of the village committee building. Watching Old Tu butcher three wild boars, people from every household in the village came over to collect their share.

"Leader, we still need to maintain good relations with Thurii. After all, they will become our neighbors in the future," Felicius reminded him.

By directly throwing pre-prepared crystal stones into specific positions, this Nine-Dragons Imprisoning Heaven Formation naturally lost its function.

Naturally, traditional athletic events like the "Melee" were far too chaotic and bloody, completely failing to align with Davers's aesthetic, and were thoroughly excluded from the events of the Daunian Games.

One must know that even he, the helm of the Modu aristocratic Kong family, was not qualified to be on equal footing with Zhao Yuanliang.

He had obtained quite a few in the Dead Abyss in the past, leaving some for the sect while keeping a few higher-grade ones for himself.

He knew the identity of Su Chuxing's father—her father was Su Zhenguo, the renowned real estate tycoon in Jiangzhou and the president of Su's Real Estate.

Therefore, he stated that the moonlight of Silla could still be saved, but Zhi Ran would have to become my disciple. Since a Wudang forbidden technique was ultimately being used, a pact was struck between us.

When Mu Yuichen reached this point, he couldn't help but offer a bitter laugh. It was so coincidental that he even worried someone had intentionally plotted it, only to find out it genuinely was a coincidence; that paparazzo's luck was simply off the charts.

"I heard this is already the last key. I never expected you'd be able to find all of them," the Emperor seemed to recall something and could not help letting out a sigh.

With that, Yang Ye continued walking along the pier toward White Emperor City. Seeing that nothing was happening, Skinny Monkey happily trailed behind Yang Ye. The two of them muttered to each other about something, both wearing lewd smiles on their faces.

Luo Quan also took a few steps over to examine the route on the paper, but after reading it, his expression remained heavy. Prior to this, he had already gained a comprehensive understanding of Ming Mountain. A single glance at the route drawn by Mo Xuanyin on the paper told him the exact location. However, he could not bring himself to agree with this route.

She was a lawyer by trade, so she naturally spotted the loopholes in the rules they had just mentioned immediately.
