Volume 1, Chapter 31: The Heavenly Demon Sect

After getting off the plane, the two transferred vehicles several times before finally relying on their own feet to reach a hillside.

The kitchen staff stared in a daze at Ren Chuxue for a long while; they never expected her to suddenly leap up for some unknown reason. This strange behavior made everyone snicker, but as servants, they dared not show it to her face, though it would surely become another topic of gossip later.

Zhang Sanqing was nothing but a low-life thug who knew nothing about business negotiations; as he sat in his chair, he felt as restless as if his seat were on fire.

Mu An'an lay on the bed, studying Ji Wan's blood for a while longer. With no results, she could not help but release a trace of spiritual energy to make contact with the blood.

He did not shed his black robes; his solemn appearance was completely at odds with his childlike eyes.

The bodyguard, named Yu Qiang, glanced at the other four bodyguards. They hesitated, but the money was too important to them, so they had no choice but to comply.

Yesterday, a "big guy" arrived at the palace that he had never seen before. Unfortunately, he only caught two glimpses of it before Aunt Yun took it away. Now, he intended to find that creature and take it to show his great-grandmother.

"Nobody here? How can that be? This is the entrance to the underground gambling dens—the largest in the U.S. Who would have guessed!" Jiang Dai hacked into Ji Chenmu’s itinerary and discovered that such a place existed here.

Bei Nini felt deeply distressed. She walked aimlessly down the street and crossed the road without even looking at the traffic lights.

Lin Yuhua was too exhausted; his throat felt raw and he could not speak. He simply returned to the car in silence and managed to spit out a few difficult words.

The surroundings were still filled with mechanical, high-tech architecture, but everything had fallen into ruins. The ground was littered with rubble and debris, and there were even many broken mechanical dolls and weapons scattered about.

When Wang Bo proposed his intention to acquire Asia Television at a premium, Chiu Te-ken thought for a few moments and agreed; after all, the station had been on a downward trend under his management, and he naturally hoped to sell it for a good price.

He would have to leave this world sooner or later. When that time came, could he summon them back? It might be nice to return them to their original timeline and let them live out their lives there.

By now, although the numbers were still significant, it was clear that they were no longer enough to contend with Shen Yu's massive army of fans.

Even though they had been grinding their teeth at Shen Yu just a while ago when they rushed to demand the manuscript submission time, why were they suddenly singing his praises now?

"Aren't we eating first? It's mealtime." Wang Xu checked the clock, thinking it was time to call for the shop's combo meal again.

When Dr. Yan first heard the news, he didn't really want to help. Even if Li Ying was the Minister of the Brain Region Department, so what? He wasn't a doctor anymore, and Li Ying had no authority over him.

In his youth, Jack Sparrow encountered the legendary Spanish naval commander, Captain Salazar. Because his father and grandfather had both died at the hands of pirates, Salazar had dedicated his life to eradicating them.

Well, the consequence of not actively playing the game was leaving it to the NPC to make her own choices. Let her go wherever she wants.

"Fine, fine, go ahead and look for it." After saying this, Bo Yanhe quietly settled down.

Hearing no further sound beside her, she withdrew her gaze from the surroundings and rested it on Di He. Seeing him walking toward her, she waited quietly.

Zhao Qian said: "Perhaps, this could be a good opportunity. Cultivating one's character and gathering prestige, then reaching toward the divine—why is this not a Great Way for the human race?"

"For my younger brother, offer your atonement!" Yi Qixing moved, his arrogant sword descending like Mount Tai, pressing down with immense force.

After patrolling the area, the guard posts were secure and undisturbed, yet Xu Ying's heart remained heavy. He felt a deep sense of unease, exactly like the feeling he had when he was ambushed while fighting the Spirit Army years ago.

"Sigh, it's a pity I can't go out, or I could have met Mengmeng..." Sikou Mo murmured before falling asleep. Beside him, Bian Chang pulled the quilt tighter, offered no response, and drifted into a deep slumber.

Watching Hu Yan’s puzzled expression, Zhao Qian smiled and explained: "I just said that one of the components of my 'Realm of Desire' is the various 'Intents' I have mastered. Do you remember what the Sword Intent I mastered is?"

At this moment, in the imperial court—which should have been a place for the Emperor to sit high and ministers to offer counsel—over a dozen top-tier swordsmen had gathered to discuss matters. Aside from the masters of the Nine Great Sword Sects, several reclusive seniors who had been hidden for centuries were also in attendance.

The most troublesome thing for the Xiaoyao Empire was the super sea urchins thrown at them. These creatures could self-detonate, and their poisonous spines would be shot out during the explosion. Any armor below the Gold level could not withstand such a blast.

She saw the four people sitting at the table, their gazes all fixed simultaneously on the doorway.

Seeing Xiao Yan unmoved, those middle-aged men could not help but sneer inwardly. At the same time, Master Hu fixed his gaze on a young man sitting directly in front of him.

However, despite the relief, the doubts in her heart still needed to be resolved. For some reason, the first person she thought of was Jiang Fan.

He was lounging leisurely in his office at the Tianyan Company headquarters, enjoying Nan Feirong’s massage on his shoulders, squinting at the intelligence report in his hand as he muttered to himself.

And it was this very thing that stirred his Five Elements Space; it was definitely an extraordinary treasure. This was the first time his Five Elements Space had ever been this lively.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Yi held his device, listening to the busy signal, his expression indescribably strange.

The people from the Dongyuan State fled in panic, not even daring to retrieve the blades from their hands. Anyone with eyes could see that the Dongyuan State was finished.

Facing the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Wu’s wife, Chou'er, recalled the affection of their past years, when her husband would always surprise her with a beloved dress or a piece of jewelry. She couldn't help but burst into tears.

This served as a shot in the arm for the Chanyu Qiedihou, who had been preparing to retreat. Overjoyed, the Chanyu immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss throughout the night... splitting their forces into two paths, they occupied the hills around Li Ling’s camp under the cover of darkness, surrounding them completely.

These monsters looked like a cross between humans and monkeys, appearing quite grotesque. Even Tie Dan, an indigenous person who had grown up in the Amazon rainforest, had never seen such terrifying creatures.
