Chapter 67: Mechanical Monster
I knew that girl Shangguan Yu must have also awakened her spiritual eyes, though her level was still somewhat low.
Upon seeing the characters inscribed on the token, the fire fiend's pupils constricted slightly before he stepped aside to let Jiang Zaiyuan pass. As Jiang Zaiyuan walked by, the fiend cast a deep, lingering gaze at his retreating back.
The moment the Five-Tooth Nether Wind Wheel was in his hands, Xie Luosha instantly regained his confidence to counterattack. As he spun the wheel, bone-chilling, ghastly cold winds immediately billowed forth from it, sweeping out violently and endlessly.
Just as she stepped out of the shop, Momo gave a self-deprecating chuckle. Sure enough, she had underestimated the angels' efficiency; someone was already waiting for her at the entrance, and it was a familiar face, to boot.
With that, I lit the first batch of incense. The first batch consisted of thirty-six sticks, representing the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper stars.
"Lin Fei, these living beings possess immense strength. Since they are all willing to follow you, why don't you organize them into a grand army and make them your own personal vanguard?"
His heart was stirred and unsettled by the sight. Even though he harbored secret vigilance in his heart, he never once averted his gaze from beginning to end.
Elder Hu looked startled at these words. "The Leng family? Isn't that Elder Leng's clan? For his bloodline to produce such an extraordinary descendant, he has truly struck gold," Elder Hu exclaimed with a sigh of wonder.
When the divination incantation falls upon the offspring, and the offspring in turn falls into the ominous palace, it must mean that there is an unmarried maiden in their household currently facing the mountain sacrificial drawing of lots.
Feng Di explained calmly, and Cao Qian agreed that it made sense. Tuluhun's actions were indeed somewhat ambiguous, bordering on inviting trouble for himself.
"Just what I had in mind! I'll go make the arrangements right away!" Meng Gong said, turning around as if ready to dash out the door.
Han Jiyu consciously changed how he addressed Su Jinluo, yet he shrewdly seized upon her bottom line, leaving her with no room to refuse.
However, back then, Ye Bao was no match for Ziyu. After taking some liberties, Ye Bao let Ziyu go, knowing full well that given Ziyu's pride, she would never tolerate such treatment and would inevitably seek him out on her own to exact revenge. All Ye Han had to do was wait for Ziyu to come knocking at his door.
Although the ones who came this time were merely insignificant existences, what about the next time? And the time after that?
As Liu Shoucai spoke, he began to lose confidence in his own words, which was why he kept emphasizing that King Yama represented justice. However, not a single person among the crowd agreed with his assertion.
This mansion was originally given by Li Shimin as a dowry to Princess Runan. After the princess departed, Li Shimin still ordered people to maintain it daily, in anticipation of the day the princess might return to court to settle down. Later, when Li Chenxun was enfeoffed as the Prince Yin at the border frontiers, Li Shimin renamed the estate the Prince Yin Mansion to show his profound respect for Li Chenxun.
However, with the Duanmu family residing in this town, things like obsession ghosts would have long since been driven away or exterminated. Yet, this place remained heavy with yin energy, and the residual power of grievances lingered persistently. Of course, this was also because the members of the Duanmu family did not practice Daoism or Buddhism, and thus lacked the knowledge to cultivate using the power of merit.
Though she did not understand why Zhao Yun said such a thing, it was obvious he had misunderstood something. If she failed to seize such a wonderful misunderstanding, wouldn't it be doing a grave injustice to her inherent nature as a merchant?
"We are leaving!" Xuanjun directly stood up to take his leave, and he took Su Zhao with him as well.
Wang Zhong rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, fully prepared. The moment Zhang Zhen gave the order, he would hurl the rattan wood straight out.
Upon arriving at the assembly hall of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, Alliance Leader Mufeng and the three generals very consciously handed over all the spoils of war they had plundered directly to Daoist Tianlei.
At the same time, the pitch-black world before her suddenly burst into brilliant light. She felt a sharp sting in her eyes, and instantly, the entire world became crystal clear.
Before long, a blood-red ape appeared at the entrance of the cave. It was massive in size, comparable to an elephant.
Among these people were also the special forces soldiers that Zhang Zhen had borrowed from Li Yunlong. Zhang Zhen had long since resolved that if the Wang family refused this time, he would simply resort to taking people by force. Fortunately, however, the Wang family finally agreed.
Upon hearing this genuinely joyful news, the expressions on Lu Zimeng and Lin Wanbai froze instantly, and their hearts turned to stone in a split second. There was no anticipated cheering, joy, or congratulations.
Granted, she had admitted to playing video games rather skillfully as of late, but when it came to movies and the like, ever since she entered the picture, it had always been a matter of practice outweighing theory, so that particular argument of hers no longer held water.
"Sorry I'm late, sorry I'm late. Come, come, come... I'll penalize myself with a cup." Wenwen generously scooped up a full cup of wine from the table, caring not whose lips might have touched it previously nor whose saliva might be lingering inside.
"Why did you two separate? Was it because the members of the Leng family refused to consent?" she asked him, her face still wreathed in a scowl.
Hearing her confession, Deng Rui grew anxious beyond measure. His words became somewhat incoherent and his mind panicked, driven solely by the desperate urge to keep her safe from harm.
Consort Wei sat quietly there from beginning to end, her expression remaining entirely normal no matter who did what or what transpired. It was only when Hua Ruyie appeared and carried away Bu Tianyin that her eyelashes fluttered slightly like a butterfly's wings, before she finally uttered these words.
Observing Chiba and his companions, whose combat experience and coordination were utterly abysmal, combined with their remarks, Gendo Yumuzuki instantly pieced together a whole backstory in his mind.
Nanzhi walked to the front in understanding, a faint, subtle amusement playing across her face. Bu Tianyin was terrible with directions. When she first shared this piece of news with the Young Master, he had laughed for a long time.
Ling Zhou looked at the fish swimming past right beside him and nodded. Although a restaurant designed beneath the sea felt magical, in this world, it was hardly uncommon. Many famous tourist island cities and five-star hotels featured such specialty dining establishments.
Jingxi looked around the room, walked over to the southern window, and gently pushed open the lattice casement. A gust of breeze rushed in, fluttering the curtains by the window—green damask gauze that billowed out and enveloped Jingxi entirely, shrouding her from head to toe.
Alec was a robust man of imposing stature. As he charged forward, his entire body gleamed with a silvery sheen, making him look like a creature forged of solid metal.
