Day 26

These days, no one wants to offend a doctor; after all, who can guarantee they won’t suffer from some ailment in the future? Even if one doesn’t, their family members might. Huang Dazhi was no exception, but he was left with no choice. The scene was in complete chaos, and as the chief of the local police station, he had to step in.

As they were speaking, the assault on the fortress had already begun. Because the gates were wide open, the Ming army surged into the fortress with ease. The guards on the battlements rushed frantically toward the valve room, but alas, it was too late.

"Rescuing him is easy, but the key is knowing where the others are. Besides, what exactly is causing this havoc in the Underworld Palace? If we can't identify it, we might fall victim to it ourselves once we go down." Ma Chengfeng did not want to take the risk. In a place this sinister, there is only one chance; if you act rashly without seeing clearly, the consequences are unimaginable.

Although this was partly because the younger generation of the Hua family, both direct and collateral descendants, were out gaining experience, the Hua family’s response to today’s invasion was far too disorganized.

Li Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, "Emperor Tianlang, Xu Mengyao, Yun Ya, you all sit there. I will go and have a word with the City Lord."

It turned out that Dazhi's older sister was the wife of Yu Di. It was precisely because of this connection that Yu Di had secured a position for Dazhi in the Ministry of Works.

He walked to the edge of the cliff and slowly cleared away the snow, revealing a blood-red ginseng flower beneath. The emerald leaves of the old ginseng were covered in crystalline dewdrops, exuding an imposing, immortal aura.

"Grandfather, this Ink Jade Qilin is arguably the strongest being on the Rubik's Cube Planet. Why did no one come to seek him as a master while he was alive?" Qin Li asked, puzzled.

"Ugh, this is so annoying. If I had known this, you shouldn't have told me. Now that I know I’m going to have bad luck ahead, I’m under immense pressure!" Xiang Yu said helplessly.

Later, after the Sect Master of the Wood Tree Holy Sect passed away, the two disciples—sisters by seniority—vied for the position of Sect Master. Eventually, they parted ways and founded the Wood Holy Sect and the Green Tree Gate respectively. They were bitter rivals, each seeking to annex the other.

"To think there would be so many people at the third floor of the tower. Should we head back, or...?" Xu Jun was already losing his patience.

"Um, there is something I need help with. Could you please assist me?" Lin Yu lowered her head slightly, nervously twisting the corner of her clothes, and spoke in a somewhat timid voice.

"Then let’s go celebrate clearing the first floor today, and we’ll set out tomorrow," Arthur said, quite pleased that Kirito had agreed. He slung an arm around Kirito’s neck in a friendly, masculine gesture and shouted.

The ascent was simple. With Lin Yu’s climbing skills combined with the pulling force from above, she easily scaled the cliff that had seemed like a natural barrier to the web-footed climbers.

"Second brother, this feast was hard-earned, so we must enjoy it to the fullest!" Zhu Lie, having revealed his true form, spoke in a tone that suddenly turned sharp and intriguing.

Zhang Chen frowned. It seemed Feng Chanyao had wanted to drink because she intended to say things she usually dared not utter, but now, even without the influence of alcohol, she had said them anyway.

It appeared these were the treasures of the Fierce Qin Stronghold. It was hard to imagine how they had found this place. Going to such lengths to hide their cellar in such a remote spot might have been safe, but it was far too troublesome.

"Senior?" Xiaoyaosheng was deeply unsettled, never imagining that a single word of his could trigger such a massive catastrophe.

Arthur threw her flying sword at the gray-haired man and charged forward. Her Holy Light essence exploded. As she rushed in, she continuously cast support spells and holy arts upon herself; facing an opponent like the gray-haired man, she had to give it her all.

After pushing open the door, Arthur bought some medicinal materials from the shopkeeper—a middle-aged player in his forties—and used a teleportation crystal to return to the tenth floor.

The crisp, sharp command carried an unquestionable tone, causing everyone to involuntarily brace themselves. Ignoring the foul, nauseating stench, they pressed forward once more.

A new wave of attacks began on the ocean floor. This time, it was no longer low-level sea beasts acting as cannon fodder, but mid-level sea beasts, primarily at the True Core stage, in such countless numbers that they defied estimation.

Everyone looked at Wu Hao with strange expressions; they had not expected him to be so audacious as to openly defy the man in white.

Lian Haiping found himself sitting on a single-wheeled wooden cart. His mother, Fu Hongju, sat on the other side, while his father, Lian Chengshan, pushed the cart, drenched in sweat, whispering and laughing with his mother as they traveled.

In truth, these items were incredibly meager to them; a single garment of Hao Hua’s was made of fabric worth over a dozen taels of silver, yet Hao Hua was thrilled. This was the first time she had earned anything with her own hands.

With this thought in mind, Wu Hao calmed his spirit and stilled his heart, suppressing the bloodthirsty, violent aura within him, only then letting out a soft breath.

A massive fist slammed heavily into Vlad’s stomach. Even with Zhurong’s defense and the protection of his Armament Haki armor, Kaido’s increasingly powerful punch still forced a mouthful of blood from Vlad.

In a daze, a face suddenly appeared before him—enchanting, soft, and breathtakingly beautiful. Those alluring, moving eyes gazed at him in silence, filled with both sorrow and tragedy.

Because Yu Qing often kept an eye on Wei Cui'er, He Nianqin, who accompanied Yu Qing to protect her safety, was very familiar with Wei Cui'er.

Physical Acceleration: For 3 seconds, the wearer’s consciousness is accelerated tenfold. Can be used infinitely, but consumes the user’s own mental energy. Once the brain enters a state of fatigue, please cease use immediately.

Thinking of this, Song Weili couldn't help but laugh. She was quite cute now, actually having such a weakness. Money was the one thing he had in abundance, and he could certainly exploit her weakness.

"Was this what you were about to say? Don't think I didn't see it." Marquis Tan, with a dark expression, stared intently at Xu Miao.

When Liu Yu heard this, he dismissively thought that chopping wood was the simplest form of training. Could it be that all cultivation here started from the simplest methods and progressed to the most powerful?

Morken could not have imagined this, and even if he had, he would not have believed that someone could plan and calculate with such meticulous precision.

With a thunderous boom, the square teleportation array, which had been firmly embedded in the tower, was instantly blasted into pieces. Even that section of the tower shattered into countless fragments and scattered. The teleportation tower, previously intact, was now abruptly broken, with only half of it remaining.
