Volume One, Chapter 25: The Stepsister Spreads Rumors, President Meng Gets Jealous

According to Le Haian, unless one is a God King specifically trained in stealth, anyone entering Le City will be detected by the formations.

Just then, a multitude of middle-aged men suddenly appeared around Yang Yunfeng, simultaneously striking out to seize him by the neck.

"Heh! Now that I have come in person, Su Haoran, do you still expect to live?" The hunched old man wore a sinister grin on his face.

They did not know how many children in impoverished mountain areas were unable to attend school due to a lack of money and resources.

He did not hesitate any longer, channeling all his true essence into the Heart-Extinguishing Sword. He then maneuvered the blade to pierce through the well water, which had gradually grown warm, and vanished deep into the bottom of the well.

His dantian was shattered, and his cultivation level was plummeting; he could feel his power receding back to the Xuan Cheng stage.

This was the limit for the Three Precepts, as Su Haoran had only taught them the Eight Extremities Golden Body up to the third level. An eightfold increase in base combat power granted the trio an overwhelming advantage, their speed and strength forcing the Golden-Haired one to retreat repeatedly, gasping for air.

Though they did not know why Beilan City showed no intention of sending troops to apprehend them, Gu Xianjun and his two companions remained deeply uneasy.

What surprised the Overturning Demon God even more was the energy contained within those blades, which actually made his heart tremble.

These chilling and inexplicable words made Gu Qingfeng’s heart shiver, and he finally ceased speaking. He lowered his head in silence, seemingly beginning to yearn for the river the boy had spoken of.

These two 20-star Iron Flame Leopards were far larger than the cub He Meimei had auctioned off previously; one stood about five meters tall and the other six, a male and a female, a mated pair.

Following the improvement of its innate talent, Silver Fox No. 3’s attributes were significantly stronger in every aspect than before.

Whether it was Leng Xiang'er’s deliberate suggestion or otherwise, what Yun Shan needed to do now was to get close to the Commandant of the Shangwu Sect and uncover why he had forcibly closed the Hundred Flower Terrace.

Looking at the bleeding, delicate body in his hands, the Dragon King’s eyes seemed ready to split; a heart-wrenching dragon roar shook the entire Earth.

Cheng Pu pursued Huang Zu the entire way. Terrified and deathly pale, Huang Zu was only saved when Gan Ning led a troop to rescue him. Huang Zu led his defeated forces back to Jiangxia City, never daring to engage in battle again.

Old Master Biao was shocked. As he exerted force to retract his whip, it struck his own chest. His internal organs felt as if they had been struck by a thousand-pound iron hammer; a sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

In normal times, Linglong would never care about the lives of these greedy strangers fighting to the death over treasure, but she felt guilty about this incident. She certainly did not want to see too much bloodshed, lest she give birth to inner demons.

Looking at the twin hammers in Li Mu’s hands, Peng Xi, surrounded by six attendants, asked defiantly, showing no fear.

Mr. Popo looked at Sun Wukong and nodded quickly: "Yes, please wait a moment." With that, Mr. Popo ran toward the kitchen.

Paragus checked his surroundings, and after confirming that no one was following him, he quietly entered a secret passage.

However, the moment Luo Chen sat down, Reyno, not far away, was astonished to discover that this realm had instantaneously become a domain under Luo Chen’s absolute control. After taking a deep, sharp breath, Reyno resolutely turned and departed.

Although this man was a monk, he was willing to break his vows for her—what more could she ask for?

As she thought this, a tingling sensation surged through her entire body, and a swelling tide of passion rose in her most private places, seemingly on the verge of erupting.

Now, with the addition of three major sects and various rogue cultivators, the total number of sect practitioners had exceeded one hundred thousand. Although most were Spirit Body practitioners, their comprehensive strength was not weak. With the inclusion of the Yamen troops and the Beast Purging Hall, the entire Tianya Continent had fallen under the influence of the Foolish Emperor Sect.

The Origin Continent—this was a land so vast it was truly boundless. Legend had it that this was the starting point of all things, the origin of everything.

Regardless of whether they were monks, once they entered the world, they could not escape the red dust. The temptations of the mortal world were not easily resisted by ordinary men, and the six bald monks lived quite comfortably under the protection of the Lin family.

"Commander, Shihe Town has fallen. Li Zicheng’s army is within ten miles of Shanhai Pass," a scout reported after rushing in.

"Is Yaoyao still thinking about that matter?" Gu Liangyue recalled how Qing Jingyao had gone to such great lengths to find Chu Zhaonan, only to be schemed against by him in the end; the mere thought of it made her feel wretched.

"Master." Yun Shuang was also very happy, her face full of smiles. But when she saw Lixia nearby, her smile stiffened, and her expression grew fierce and resentful.

A sphere of dark purple energy sparked in the palm of Demos’s right hand. Inside the orb, a fierce and dazzling bolt of energy flashed, lighting up the gloom of the main hall for a moment and stinging the eyes of everyone present.

Seeing that his escape was impossible, Li Yi suddenly spun around and struck viciously at Hua Qingyi. He launched his spiked rings one after another, and just as they were released, a sword—a rather short one—suddenly appeared in his hand.

Gu Lingge continued to go her own way, while the third brother helped Gu Huai walk behind. Gu Huai felt uncomfortable, and looking at Gu Lingge’s straight, upright back, he gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Tang Xiao’s gaze was calm. With a wave of his hand, the Blade of the Firmament vanished instantly, receding back into his wrist.

"According to the pulse, everything is fine. It’s likely just a normal reaction to the arrival of summer; it will pass in a few days." Feng Yilu did not ignore the fleeting blush, but she did not point it out either. She did not like such trivial matters.

Helen suddenly became nervous and flustered, her grip on her weapon tightening, but she ultimately dared not strike.

They traveled like a whirlwind; in the vast forest, one could only see streaks of afterimages whistling past.

"It seems the enemy never expected us to use Mobile Units for a counterattack." Chen Junyi listened to Ren Xin’s report, shaking his head with a smile.

Following Zhang Siming into the Siming Mansion, they turned left and right until they reached a secret chamber. Zhang Siming dismissed the dozen or so elite ghost guards guarding the door and pressed his hand against the gate. The door opened slowly, revealing a levitation array.

Liu Chong now commanded an army of ten thousand, marching majestically into Yangxia City, the northwesternmost point of Chen State, under the watchful eyes of the entire nation.

"Five Elements Life-Extinguishing Storm!" This was a spirit formation. With the power of the Five Spirit Orbs, it provided the storm with immense strength. Five extreme elemental forces shredded the golden light, spiraling down around Ming Chen; the terrifying elemental energies collided with one another, descending in the form of a storm.
