Volume 1, Chapter 64: A Troublesome Upgrade Quest

He thought once more of the painting inside the Tianju Ring. Having received so many benefits from the Taoist of Tianju, he naturally had the obligation to deliver that painting in person to the hands of Penglai Tianshui.

A massive dragon claw crushed downward in a posture that blotted out the sky. Before it even reached Yun Tianyang, it whipped up a colossal tidal wave around him. Wherever the giant wave passed, the surrounding rocks were instantly pulverized into dust.

Under such circumstances, regardless of whether one obtained any fortuitous encounters, simply escaping alive would already be the utmost good fortune.

Moreover, with Master Li present, even those of average talent would not dare to confront his sharp edge head-on before him, let alone ordinary people.

The immense force directly crushed the biochemical ghost that had fallen to the ground without getting back up, and even the hard ground was smashed into a pit. The surrounding biochemical ghosts lying on the ground scrambled to their feet one after another, charging toward him once again.

"None of you are leaving this place. There is a path to heaven which you refuse to take, yet you insist on crashing into the gates of hell, where no door exists. You have only yourselves to blame." Nie Jianghong cast a look at his two subordinates, and the pair immediately closed in on Shangguan Tianlong and Lu Tianyu.

The group turned and left, every single one of them high-spirited and full of fighting spirit. Sha Baichuan was already dead, and the Skull Guild no longer posed any threat.

At the same time, without him even realizing it, Su Nan's left foot stretched forward by about thirty centimeters, catching Zheng Zha precisely half a second after he landed, right at the instant he lunged forward.

Qin Shao's expression sank. "If the Princess wishes to toy with me further, please forgive me for having no time to keep her company." He did not wish to see her at all.

Compared to the helplessness on this side, Lin Yuan over there appeared somewhat more lively.

Three years had passed, and yet she had returned. When she left initially, she was covered in scars and wretchedness; upon her return now, would she find sunshine spreading everywhere?

Ren Peiyin sat in the seat of honor, flanked by the seats of Qiao Anming and Gu Lan. Jiang Lei was also in attendance, bringing the old lady's favorite potted plant.

Gu Changjiu's performance had indeed exceeded many people's expectations, and some of those who had been eliminated made no attempt to hide the envy in their hearts. After all, from this moment on, he was a disciple of Tianyuan Academy, which was a symbol of status and prestige.

Xu Jinlang and Jian Lan frequently stayed overnight at Cui Liying's home, and as the frequency grew, it simply became a matter of course.

"Is your grandfather's health that terrible?" Ye Qingcheng asked. She had heard back at the estate that the Duke of Jingguo had been paralyzed by a stroke for many years. When such a major event as her marriage to Qin Shao took place, the Duke of Jingguo had not even made an appearance.

Upon returning to his office, Xu Jinlang opened the newspaper in his hands, only to be greeted by several bold, crimson characters.

My mother's words were undoubtedly a death sentence for me. She and my stepfather bickered back and forth; aside from fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire, my stepfather chimed in constantly. I simply could not bear to listen any longer and fled the hospital room. Ye Hanxheng was answering a phone call on the first floor of the hospital, and upon seeing me come down, he hurriedly brought the call to an end.

"Alright, I'm heading back. You go on with your work," Su Lingxi said as she placed the empty thermos into the bag.

Afterwards, Luo Yu rapidly circulated his primordial Qi, and the scimitar—resembling a waning moon in the sky—actually ignited with a blazing crimson fire. The radiance transformed into strands of scarlet light that swept past like lightning, reaping enemies' lives in a slaughter. This was the sole rule for survival on the battlefield.

He inwardly sighed that he was being far too cautious. An invincible strategy that had once slain multiple martial artists of the same realm was actually going to be used on such trash; he truly had degraded himself.

Although this would likewise eliminate the impending disaster and hidden peril, bringing peace to the borderlands, such an outcome was clearly not what Nanshan desired.

Lin Hongze's vocal timbre leaned toward the deeper and more magnetic side. This kind of voice was exceptionally well-suited for singing folk songs or love ballads with modest vocal ranges.

"Thank you, Madam Boss, but I don't have that kind of courage. Farewell!" With that, I walked out of the hotel.

"Then why did you still have the people at the hospital take good care of her? Wouldn't it have been better to simply ignore her completely and let her fend for herself?" Qiao Chuan raised an eyebrow and said.

Consequently, although Wang Sheng had wanted to learn a thing or two more from Xu Yifan, he was chased off to Shanghai after staying for merely two days.

Yet now, after trying every conceivable method—even intentionally using detection methods to maliciously provoke the gathering place of intelligence brokers without drawing out a single clue—Heiqi could not help but wonder if the guild's line of thinking had been wrong from the very beginning.

The sound exploded right beside his ear. Shao Han frowned, while Ruoshui directly covered her ears with her hands.

Hearing this, the old scoundrel's expression turned somewhat peculiar. If his guess was correct, the bizarre plant Muse spoke of was likely the club fruit he had seen in the Monster Paradise.

It must be known that although Old Li had once engaged in a God-like battle with the Nightmare, that had occurred entirely within the mental realm of the Nightmare. If that version of the Nightmare were placed within the old scoundrel's mental realm, the Nightmare would likewise face the exact same predicament as Wuming.

Yuan Shao was somewhat flustered and chaotic, unsure of whose advice to follow. Guo Jia smiled and said, "I actually feel that Lord Tian's words hold a measure of reason. Gongsun Zan has already become a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring, and General Ju Yi has repeatedly defeated Gongsun Zan. With General Ju Yi defending, Gongsun Zan will certainly not dare to sally forth."

Xiang Ye naturally knew nothing of this, and he did not even know Li Feng's name. The only thing he knew was that Li Feng worked in the Commandery Governor's Mansion as a subordinate of Li You, and a subordinate of Li You was naturally his friend rather than his enemy.
