34 A Peculiar Aura

After some questioning, it was revealed that the Black Cat had been summoned by Guan Er, and he had brought along fifty percent of the soldiers from South Africa. Qing Xin asked how the Black Cat had managed to get in touch with Guan Er, but the Black Cat mumbled incoherently and could not provide a clear answer.

Xie Guming had secured this "Flying Flower and Plucking Leaves" technique at a rock-bottom price; he had truly struck gold. Based on previous sale prices, he had made a profit of at least four hundred contribution points.

Internal power struggles within the clan, combined with the hoarding of secret techniques and a narrow-minded refusal to share, had left the vast clan devoid of unity and communication. It was gradually falling apart and disintegrating. Some, driven by petty greed, did not even hesitate to attack one another, resulting in heavy casualties and further accelerating the decline of the Fang family.

This storage artifact was a black wooden box, lacquered with a shiny, deep black finish that possessed an unusual luster.

The moment the King in Black fell, a black bottle dropped from his body. Curious, Qing Xin picked it up and found over a hundred black pills inside. Unsure of their purpose, he simply tucked the bottle into his pocket.

His clothes were in tatters, and the raw flesh on his shoulders was horrifically exposed, a truly shocking sight. Even his usually lustrous hair had become dry and filthy.

In his desperation, Xia Yu came up with this excuse. Fortunately, the machete was still stuck in the woodpile; otherwise, he would have been at a loss for words had someone asked what he had used to chop it.

Upon hearing Xiao Yao’s "praise" for Murong Wan, the corners of Murong Fei, Elder Ling, and the others twitched, and they were so disgusted they nearly vomited up what they had just eaten.

After finding the group led by Yin Liufeng, the twenty-plus people boarded white-winged eagles and departed from Yanjing City, flying directly toward the endless ice fields of the north.

"Brother Xin will not die. Brother Xin will absolutely not die," Xin Lang said as he lifted Qing Xin and prepared to walk out.

The fine lines on his face were not dense, but on his hands, especially around his fingers, they were more pronounced, resembling the grain of tree branches.

Bu Chengyou brushed his hand over the tombstone made of white jade, wiping away the moss to reveal that the entire structure was inscribed with the various achievements of the Chu family.

It was unclear when the Earth Temple had been built. A headless mud idol lay tilted over the spirit shrine, and the place was covered in cobwebs. The floor was coated in half an inch of dust, scattered with countless footprints, clearly left behind not long ago.

It was not the fragment itself, but another type of fragment hidden within. If he hadn't issued a warning, if the team had used this item on a large scale—and then, if those people in the Council had gotten their hands on this "Luo"...

From high above, Harrison’s voice rang out, as if he were suppressing laughter. Then, he offered further hints.

Luca looked on, feeling helpless. His sidekick, Er Ha, ran over and let the Chihuahua step on his shoulders to climb onto the table.

Sects capable of cultivating disciples in the Heaven Realm were undoubtedly top-tier organizations. They had no need to let their younger generation fight for such superficial fame at this moment; they were unwilling to expose their hidden trump cards.

I followed a meek servant into the humble courtyard, with Nan Chengyao and Li Mo silently trailing behind me.

However, the emergence of the four great families of the southeast forced Zhen Qian to be vigilant. In terms of pure strength, Zhen Qian could not compare to these influential clans that had been passed down for hundreds of years. Compared to his own advantages, these great families looked down upon offshore islands; otherwise, they would have sent men to seize them long ago.

Gong Xique said, "Xie Han's child is your child; the child belongs to both of you. If Xie Han's house is registered in the child's name, you can still live there until you die."

Yet, even though Ding Chunhua had cooked for her husband this time, Hong Aiguo did not even glance at her. He continued to eat at his parents' house and did not return to their room at night. It wasn't until the eve of Guan Jiu's return, and after Ding Chunhua had softened her tone and spoken nicely, that the standoff between the couple finally ended.

Yuan Chunhua said, "If life isn't going well, you just live it miserably. You swallow your pride and just muddle through."

"..." Faced with Yan Xiangnuan's blunt compliment, a flicker of embarrassment crossed Jin Weimo's face. Recently, however, Yan Xiangnuan seemed to enjoy this practice, as if she liked seeing him feel uncomfortable from time to time.

He exchanged a glance with Gao Chang. One of them took the initiative to entangle the Shadow Butterfly, while the other focused all his strength into his right fist, slamming it with all his might against the wall closest to them.

Xie Feitian opened her mouth to cry, and the older one grabbed the remaining piece and stuffed it into her mouth. Xie Feitian swallowed the "meat" and then burst into loud wails.

"Hahaha, Xu Ergui, look, even the Heavens can't stand to watch this anymore." After saying this, she swung the stick at him twice—one blow to avenge her trafficking, and the other to avenge the pig from her family.

She extended her spiritual sense to investigate, but found nothing amiss. Furthermore, Wen Yao discovered that the deepest part of the cave was actually an underground river.

Drinking wine and admiring flowers might be an elegant pastime, but the topics Li Ye and Song Jiao discussed had nothing to do with such romantic affairs.

From that day on, for fourteen years, Zhu Ziping became obsessed with martial arts. Aside from practicing internal energy, he spent his time mastering the staff techniques taught by his father.

"But what is the 'Dao'? What is the benefit of attaining enlightenment? Right now, I only want to restore my internal energy; how can I care about the Dao or anything else?" Wang Hou shook his head, submerged himself in the water, and circulated his Dantian qi. He didn't even notice when he surfaced or sank back down.

At this moment, Hua Mian felt as if she were in a dream; the feeling was too unreal. Everything was supposed to happen years later, so why had it all been advanced? This was incredible; there must have been some mistake somewhere.

"Where did you get that? How did you know I don't like fruit?" Dian Wangren watched as Hunter Shu placed the fruit on the table and then sat on the table himself, his legs dangling over the crossbeam.

Wan Lei seemed indifferent to it all. Speaking of the matter, he felt a sense of relief, as if a great burden had been lifted. Watching Wan Lei's reaction, Wan Feng felt reassured and told him to go back and visit whenever he had the chance.
