Volume 1, Chapter 35: Lingling Sneaks Aboard

Although Li Feng’s description suggested that Shen Mo was also a practitioner of the martial arts, he was born into an ordinary family; how high could his strength possibly be?

Empress Dowager Xiao’s initially stern face softened with a hint of weariness. However, the moment she saw Xiao Shuixian, her expression immediately brightened into a smile. Xiao Shuixian offered a casual bow to the Great Liao Emperor, Yelu Longxu, who was very fond of his foster sister and rose to welcome her.

Because Lin Yan had failed to achieve enlightenment after five years of meditation, his hair had turned snow-white overnight, contrasting sharply with his otherwise handsome face.

Furthermore, the Salt Gang’s influence had expanded significantly, and it was no longer the same organization it once was. If he, a branch leader, were to shrink back now, he would surely become a laughingstock.

The red cat walked over leisurely, smiling as it watched Baby Long wailing while looking up, all the while idly admiring its own beautiful claws.

Therefore, it was no surprise to Zhang You that the other party thought he had also come to invite him out of seclusion. This, however, served as a reminder; what began as sympathy for Xu Wei’s experiences and a desire to help had now truly evolved into a genuine intention to recruit him for his own use.

He did not need to offer any other reasons; the mere mention of these two points was enough to instantly revitalize the soldiers of the Explosive Wolf Legion.

"Don’t bother, I’m no young master, there’s no need for you to curry favor with me!" Jiang Tian boasted, heading straight for the exit.

This area was sparsely populated; for many non-professionals, it was not a hospitable place.

It could be said that Yan Dingxuan had only been testing the waters before, probing Shen Mo’s depth, but this time, he intended to unleash his full strength and settle the outcome with a single strike of his spear.

In truth, had Sirius not retreated at the start but instead chosen to fight Zhao Ritian head-on, he might have found a path to survival through death and perhaps even defeated him. It was precisely that moment of hesitation that caused him to miss the best opportunity; by the time he wanted to resist, the internal energy in his body no longer met the requirements.

"You said it yourself, this is a place where the earth’s energy converges. If I don't go through here, where else should I go?" Zhao Qian spread his hands, looking entirely innocent.

Was it to witness this match destined to become a historical event and cheer for that hero, or to ensure that this event never came to pass?

"You idiot, if it weren't for your faulty intelligence, how could we have ended up in such a miserable state? Do you think I won't crush you to death if you keep nagging?" Ling the Second roared, his eyes bulging.

"Sir, please continue," Emperor Huizong said, clearly captivated. With three thousand beauties in his harem, whether empress or concubine, they were all merely the Emperor’s personal property. He had never considered such things, and Shi Fan’s words left him feeling as though he had suddenly awakened to a new understanding.

Tong Yi’s face was deathly pale, his lips cracked. He struggled to lift his head, gazing forward with hollow eyes filled with resentment and agony.

In the five hundred years since the Old Man of Mount Huo, the Zoroastrian Sect had developed into a powerful and massive organization. Yet, like all other power structures in the world, it had become corrupt, greedy, decadent, bloated, and rife with treachery.

Zhao Qian couldn't help but scratch his head. What on earth was going on? But now was not the time to look for causes; regaining control of his body was the top priority.

The yellow sand below suddenly erupted, and a dark shadow shot into the sky, flying toward Christina. She brandished her scepter, casting a barrier of light that blocked the incoming black stinger.

"How is it? What exactly is going on in there?" Xuanyangzi was the first to rush over, grabbing Zhao Qian with a face full of curiosity.

Tian Fu did not hesitate either. Leaving the mine shaft, he exchanged a glance with Ice Butterfly and Jiang Xuanyu, and the three of them struck simultaneously.

"Teacher Ye, we heard about your situation from Principal Jin. Do not, under any circumstances, agree to Shi Mingben’s disgraceful demands. Don’t be afraid of him! We are here for you! At the very worst, you can come directly to our Xianjiqiao Brigade, and we’ll see what Shi Mingben can do to you then!" Zhang Dailei declared.

The others stared blankly at the remittance slips. These slips were like certificates of merit, the best reward and recognition for Chen Jianguo.

"You go back. This is not a place where you should be," Chang Xing said to the Monkey King’s guard.

Moreover, she had only developed the formula based on the toxicity report she had received; she had no idea if the poison had mutated within Prince Qi’s body.

"The three brothers who came with me were all killed by you, simply because you accidentally learned that I had obtained a cluster of primordial fire spirit."

The next moment, the smile on his face turned instantly cold, like a ten-thousand-year-old ice cellar, chillingly saying, "Besides, it is only by letting you leave that you will seek revenge."

"It’s just... a feeling, I suppose?" Zhou Hong couldn't quite put it into words. He always felt that the expression beneath Ximen Qing’s sunglasses was one of "mockery."

"Damn it, those two hundred million source crystals were well spent," Xiao Fan sighed to himself, letting out a curse.

She hesitated, lifting her gaze to look at her man. Lin Dayu was smoking a water pipe, his eyes lowered in silence, making his thoughts unreadable.

Yang Yi truly wanted to turn Princess Sophie into a frog, but the ride on horseback was too bumpy to aim properly. The broomstick was Yang Yi’s trump card for survival, capable of turning things into frogs only twice. If he missed, he would only have one chance left, and even that last chance might not guarantee a hit on Princess Sophie on horseback.

Soldiers who have been abandoned are pitiful. With Yang Yi’s instigation, the soldiers’ eyes began to redden. Having said what needed to be said, Yang Yi let Jones lead these abandoned soldiers away. Looking at the hundred-plus captives with combat experience, Yang Yi sighed; through a mix of cajoling and trickery, he finally had over a hundred soldiers for Locke County.

Kushina was moved. Long Fei was actually working hard to resurrect Minato, willing to venture out alone and deal with the most dangerous people in the world.

Suddenly, the Bald Cloud Beast turned toward Tong Luoman. She had a protective light shield supported by her white inner armor, and knowing the beast would ambush her, she was prepared and immediately engaged it in battle.

The green curtains moved slightly. Yang Yi stepped forward and pulled them open to find a withered old man looking at him in shock. The man appeared to be over sixty, bald, his face covered in wrinkles, and extremely ugly. He was less than a meter tall, trembling, his eyes filled with terror.
