Volume 1, Chapter 63: In the End, Just Your Pawn

"So all of this is fake?" Yun Yi's body trembled uncontrollably, swaying weightlessly in mid-air.

However, in response to his rhetorical question—just when everyone expected the lady to negotiate with them directly—they saw the corners of her lips curve upward into a faint, almost imperceptible arc. It was light and detached, carrying a chill, yet she actually smiled.

Hearing the familiar incantation, Daryl turned his head and saw that, at some unknown moment, Yahiro Samukawa had used his own blood to draw his summoning circle and begun to chant.

"Right!" A flash of brilliance crossed Chen Yun's eyes as he clapped his hands together, excitement showing on his face. Stretching out his right hand with the palm facing upward, his cultivation power suddenly erupted, causing fierce gales to swirl incessantly around him.

Of course, what was somewhat comical during the verification process was that the priestess attempting to detect whether Kansuke Hishigata and Sonoko were communicating could perceive nothing at all. It was only because Kansuke secretly used his ability to provide her with the appropriate feedback that the review process was allowed to continue.

Unfortunately, Kansuke had no intention of paying him any mind. With a wave of the stick in his hand, a powerful gust of wind instantly blew away the loose soil burying the three of them. With another wave of his hand, the three floated out of the pit and landed gently beside the young man.

In this battle, Han Xu sealed the outcome with seven saber strikes, and blood paved the street before the entrance of the Daimin Town Hospital. Han Xu became famous overnight; regardless of how the subsequent battles turned out, the punks of Heishan Town and the surrounding areas would have plenty of material to boast about to their out-of-town friends over drinks for the next ten or twenty years.

After completing this series of actions, he took out the spices he had prepared beforehand from his bosom, replaced the original ones in the room, and gently ignited them.

"No! There must be someone over there! Who would be out there in the middle of the night?" Years of tempering prevented him from letting down his guard. He forced his heavy eyelids open and peered in that direction.

With the heart of the Green-Robe Patriarch shattered, his physical body instantly disintegrated into countless venomous insects that scattered across the cavernous mountain space, while Bai Yu's soul seized the opportunity to flee toward the exit.

Faced with such a terrifying spatial tremor, everyone was utterly helpless. Some prayed, some cursed, some confessed their long-hidden feelings to their crushes, and others suddenly let go of the obsessions in their hearts.

"Just a follower, not Li Ran himself returning. What does she want me for?" Hearing that Zhou Youxiang didn't know the specifics either, Wu Yuejun had no choice but to get out of bed gritting his teeth, though while washing up, he couldn't help muttering a complaint.

What surprised him was naturally his inability to understand why Xiang Gangtian was asking for even more after having already consumed two portions. Could it be that he... Shen Wei shook his head slightly. According to the intelligence he had gathered, there was no doubt that Xiang Gangtian was an outsider. That meant he should only possess a single dao vein and possess single-vein talent.

Such an outrageously expensive medicinal pill naturally caught Luo Hao's attention, instantly arousing a hint of curiosity.

Waves of footsteps echoed from afar, filling a long street with men dressed in black suits.

Watching the monster slowly emerge, Tong Tian drew his sword. At first glance, he was captivated by the design of the equipment; his favorite black-and-white color scheme was vividly embodied on the blade.

Wei Wu nodded solemnly. "There is no time to lose, let's set off immediately." He took my hand and hurried forward, and I did not pull away. To me, all of this felt so natural, as if it had been a part of my life all along.

With that, Villager B pointed Tong Tian in a certain direction. Hearing this, Tong Tian nodded, mounted a horse, and rode off toward the indicated path. In truth, finding the bandits' lair wasn't difficult—one only needed to follow the hoofprints all the way there.
