Chapter Fourteen: Reunion of Old Friends

“There shouldn’t be anyone foolish enough to keep raising the bid, right?” Ouyang Pengcheng muttered. He felt that forty-five million dollars was already an outrageously high figure. In truth, such a price was not excessive for high-tech products. A fifth-generation fighter jet, for instance, would cost several hundred million dollars at the very least.

With the mutated giant bird serving as their flying mount afterward, they had visited several places. All told, only five days had passed.

The other knights and the accompanying Mage Academy all unleashed their ultimate techniques. Sword energy and magic blasted into the Bloodwing Demon’s body one after another, forcing it steadily backward.

“What does everyone think?” The generals were not experts in this field, but the dozen or so researchers in white coats were all leading authorities. They were the ones best qualified to speak.

The cave was pitch-black. Jing Rong took from his robes a luminous pearl brought from the imperial mausoleum. In an instant, its radiance illuminated the entire cavern.

“Why do you say that? Who told you we’re Eastern cultivators?” Ouyang Pengcheng asked, deeply curious.

Outside the formation, the First Chief and Second Chief were already dumbstruck. Who was this man? How could he have appeared out of thin air inside the Immortal-Trapping Diagram? Could he… be a divine being?

During this period, Ye Xiang and the others no longer went out on missions every day. Instead, they often rested at the base. Sun Jin, however, came over frequently to mooch meals. Although he brought food of his own, Su Guo still never seemed pleased to see him.

Seeing that there was no time to lose, Li Longfei reached out without hesitation and felt around on Li Xian until he found the imperial edict. Then he waved to He Lili, who was sitting on a roof beam.

Sun Haochi felt deeply uncomfortable under the Black Dragon’s gaze. When that enormous dragon head began slowly approaching him, every hair on his body nearly stood on end. Even his breathing became rapid, almost ceasing altogether.

After they struck the two stones together, their powder drifted down onto Sun Haochi’s body. They then retreated several meters and began observing.

Zhao Daniu had never eaten roast meat so delicious in his life. He could not think of anything with which to describe it, except that it was delicious—so delicious that he could not stop eating.

“Of course there is! Your mother is there as well. It is a mysterious realm where Yura and human consciousness intersect. It will definitely free you from further mental torment,” said the Fiery Butterfly Yura.

The speaker was a very young boy with a high, thin voice. He was probably only in his teens, right at the age when his voice was changing. Without listening carefully, one might mistake him for a girl.

In Zheng Ming’s recollection, before he had been stabbed to death, he had never heard any relevant news. Even if he had been isolated from information, given the host’s fame, his departure could not possibly have caused not even the slightest ripple.

The neglected cat-demon youth impatiently crossed his arms over his chest, tapping one foot against the ground from time to time.

His smile consequently became even more satisfied. After all, having one more person who shared the same path was certainly something worth celebrating.

After watching Zhang Wei and Bai Lian enter the hotel, that murky, viscous, golden humanoid shape descended from the city’s protective barrier and flew into the second floor of the hotel. Yet it still warily glanced toward the rear of the mountain. It sensed that something was amiss, but could not see anyone there.

Xiahou Yuan swung the Red Dragon Axe with heroic ferocity. Though he could not bring the Candle-Bearing Dragon carved upon it to life as Ji Yu had, the red radiance was far brighter than it had been when he first obtained the axe.

The surrounding circle consisted of students dressed in splendid silk garments. They were all quite young, most of them children under ten.

I took out my phone and snapped a photograph, then called Ma Wansan, the deputy director of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, and sent him the picture through WeChat.

Perhaps she had never dealt with this line of work before. She had not expected a man who looked so refined and aristocratic to be so uninhibited.

“Just let me off here!” Xu Wanyu still did not want Huo Lengxi to drive all the way to the entrance.

Xu Wanyu did not answer him. Instead, she opened the medicinal ointment and gently applied it to Huo Lengxi with a cotton swab.

Although I knew that these vengeful spirits would target only Li Qiankun and would not harm anyone else, I was still startled by their earth-shaking resentment and hurriedly backed away.

Ever since the fighting in the Ancient Wasteland Marsh had eased, the Iron Tree Conclave had been held far less frequently.

Heavy and steadfast, it was built from a semicircular arch and massive walls. Its roof rose into a long, lofty spire, making it extraordinarily conspicuous at first glance.

The layout of Beiping City followed the pattern known as “nine inner, seven outer, four imperial”: nine gates in the inner city and seven in the outer city. When Beiping fell, the bad habit of dumping rubbish along the foot of the city walls gradually took shape. Even after the city was restored, the practice continued.

Lin Yue’er’s nose was filled with his scent. She did not dare move, merely cursing Lin Qinghan inwardly for framing a loyal and righteous man out of selfish motives.

Class 306 was having mathematics. When Tang Jin walked into the classroom, he realized that he seemed to be late. As expected of a key high school—even at 7:05 in the morning, classes had already begun. Then what time did morning study start?

Hearing him say this, Zhang Lu seemed infinitely aggrieved. Tears kept welling in her eyes, yet she merely pressed her thin lips together and said nothing.

Feeling the broken bottle thrust toward him, Wei Yuan turned his head. His face instantly filled with murderous fury, frightening the man so badly that the shard of bottle in his hand nearly fell to the ground. Even his footsteps came to a halt.

We are now accustomed to using the decimal system. However, these conventional expressions have never changed, so they may leave some readers puzzled. This explanation is therefore offered for clarity.

In fact, Commander-in-Chief Qin Hanlin had asked Chen Dong to conduct only the first two tests. The reason for adding a one-against-many test was entirely due to Chen Dong’s genuine curiosity about Tang Jin’s strength. He very much wanted to know just how powerful someone so young had become.
