Volume 1, Chapter 69: Characteristic Temptation

With their crimson eyes flashing, the dark-night vampire bats, commanded by the leading black beast, suddenly opened their wide mouths and spewed out billows of black smoke. Then, moving in unison and flapping their wings closely behind the smoke, they lunged forward to bite at Xiao Ye.

"Tell me your purpose, and I will let you go." Feng Hao pinned Long down, rendering her completely immobile.

Meanwhile, determined to secure victory and prevent any drop in morale, Han Shie personally led the remaining three thousand troops to reinforce the frontlines. From afar, the deafening sounds of battle and billowing clouds of dust could already be heard.

Zhou Tai and the others led their forces out, but before they could launch a counterattack, they saw Feng Hao abruptly change direction and gallop toward a hill.

Ever since acquiring the farm, a total of over nine million had been invested in purchasing equipment, clearing wasteland, improving the soil, building roads, and constructing a new irrigation system.

Furthermore, his parents were still in the Three Realms Sect. Knowing the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers' character, she would undoubtedly show the utmost filial piety to them. Managing the Three Realms Sect while simultaneously taking care of his parents—one could only imagine how difficult her life had been all these years.

A massive vortex suddenly appeared in the calm sky, transforming into a tornado that connected directly to the hand Feng Hao pointed toward the heavens. At the same time, a giant vortex emerged on the ground, turning into a tornado that reached straight down to the hand he pointed toward the earth.

Kong Xuan chuckled lightly, plucked a spiritual fruit from the emerald-green plantain leaf, and bit into it. The flesh of the fruit was delightfully fragrant and rich in spiritual energy, and the dew condensed upon it was nothing less than spring water from a spiritual well, making the fruit taste even sweeter.

Soon, two sly chuckles echoed throughout the grand hall. The guards outside nearly failed to restrain themselves from stepping inside to see who dared to act so audaciously in the Hall of Miraculous Mist. In the end, however, they held back, knowing that apart from the Jade Emperor, the only other person in the hall was the so-called Immortal Didi.

Before he could finish his sentence, a violent, rumbling vibration suddenly surged from the ground beneath everyone's feet. Shocked, they all hurriedly summoned their escaping lights to fly up into the sky, looking down at the earth below.

Now that Yun Jinruo—who clearly had ties to Liu Yiran—had arrived, it still failed to divert much of their attention.

Her endeavor this time had truly been a failure, ending up like drawing water with a bamboo basket—completely empty-handed. She had failed to establish a connection with Wang Chen, nor had she succeeded with Wang Jiayu.

From the very beginning, she had allowed herself to be captured intentionally, and even the wound on her neck had been inflicted by design.

"An innate fire spirit body! No wonder he was able to shatter the underground palace left behind by Di Yan. So it was him," the undying elder muttered to himself.

Sure enough, the man who had been dragged to the ground began to tremble visibly, and the look he cast at Luo Chongjue was filled with profound complexity.

In an instant, Zhao Yunhuai felt as though the mutton in his hands had turned into a hot potato; he could neither throw it away nor continue roasting it.

Within the span of a cup of tea, Xiao Yuntian walked out of Xiao Yun's room with a solemn expression and vanished into the night in a flash, without alerting a single soul.

He had no choice but to calm his mind, regulate his breathing, and forcibly suppress the chaotic surging within his body before guiding it back into his dantian.

Yet, the mere thought of deceiving Shangguan Jinglan for such a purpose sent inexplicable shivers and guilt through her heart.

Of course, one could not entirely rule out the possibility that this superficial appearance was deliberately put on to mislead others. Regardless, this person was indeed a rather formidable opponent and had to be handled with caution.

Zhang Yuanhao shouted furiously, the blade of his fire-origin sword blazing with brilliant light. A foot-long, fiery-red sword Qi shot forth like a shooting star chasing the moon, meeting the descending blood net head-on.

In truth, Qiuniang asking such a question only revealed that her heart had grown softer. Back when she was a bandit—especially when she served as the chief chieftain—the immense pressure had left her no reason whatsoever to care about others.

Everyone wore expressions of shock, involuntarily gazing toward a tall mountain in the northwest. There, thick smoke billowed, red light shone brilliantly, and flames raged like furious, soaring serpents, rushing wildly up into the clouds.

Han Wei's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly realized that what he had just said contained a contradiction. Seeing Guan Zhong's—or rather, Guan Yu's—current plight, he feared it would be impossible to return to Jinyang to see Liu Bei.

Yu Xin said, "You should just wait at home! I'll go take a look first. Once they no longer harbor resentment toward us, you can go. After all, it's not convenient for you to show your face right now." Lingxin gave an affirmative response.

Liu Zaiqian said to the Marquis, "Marquis, I'll go with him; his legs are inconvenient right now." The Marquis nodded, and Liu Zaiqian supported Liu Zongshi as they walked out.

After placing the gourd properly, Li Mao began searching the surrounding area, calling out loudly as she searched.

A retinue this luxurious was entirely different from the safety You Jingyan had imagined. Logically speaking, Wang Deyong shouldn't have been such a vulgar person.

Young powerhouses such as Bing Wuhen, Lei Bo, and Duanmu Bi had all arrived, but within a radius of a hundred zhang, no one dared to draw near. That area had transformed into a sea of lightning, with endless electric arcs intertwining to form a forbidden zone; not a single person dared to cross the boundary.

Only, Su Yuan noticed that after the creature devoured the flesh of its companion, its mental fluctuations became intensely volatile. He suddenly realized that it might not be eating its own kind merely to replenish its physical form, but rather to inherit memories preserved through certain biological means by the deceased.

Tang Wan hardly dared to look at Shen Shujing at that moment; the gaze the latter cast over felt as though she wanted to tear her apart alive.

Sona was boredly poking the center of a flower with her finger, occasionally stealing glances at Zhou Yang and then at the scenery receding outside, when she suddenly heard the voice of the Main God.

There were quite a few future footage clips in this episode, but they obviously couldn't match the unique characteristics of the birthday festival videos. Today was already July 8th; if they didn't broadcast it soon, Future's birthday would already be over, so it really was time to arrange it.

Indeed, this was the world in which he had lived for eighteen years. Although life had its disputes, there were no wars, and though one might occasionally catch a cold, it was never fatal.

Losing the energy support from the ancient sacred altar, its recovery speed was clearly half a notch slower, and the might of its flames had also dropped by a significant margin, yet it remained terrifyingly formidable.
