Twenty-nine.

Looking at Chu Yuan lying on the ground, Zhou Yu noticed that his aura had weakened significantly. It was foreseeable that once he awakened, he might no longer possess his former monstrous talent, as the sliver of power from the Lord of Time and Space had been completely exhausted. Nevertheless, having undergone such an experience, his future achievements would surely not be low.

He did not know how much time had passed before he finally collapsed, soaked in sweat, splayed out on the ground in a sprawl. He gasped for air, as if trying to exhale all the stifling frustration from his chest. His cheeks were drenched, though it was impossible to tell if it was sweat or tears.

However, while they dared to face the flying swords of Master Xuanbai and the magical treasures of other cultivators head-on, they dared not let Shao Heng’s sword aura touch their bodies.

Even Fairy Ziyun, who had been there once before, knew that she had only made it out of the labyrinth without incident because she was lucky enough to choose the right path and avoid encountering overly powerful zombies. Would Yifei be just as fortunate?

“But sir…” that Kong family warrior wanted to remind him that the headless monsters behind them had completely sealed off the path, but Kong Yuan acted as if he saw nothing, continuously urging them to retreat.

“Xiao Nu?” Song Yue quickly scanned the list of young geniuses from the Xiao family of Lele Island in his memory, but no matter how he searched, the name Xiao Nu was nowhere to be found.

What Xu Qi truly wanted to ask was who had ordered these cultivators to come, what their ultimate goal was, and the approximate power of their magical treasures. Although he already had a rough guess and some degree of certainty, he still lacked confirmation. To be safe, it was better to be certain.

But it was only a standoff. Zhou Yu realized that if this battle dragged on, it would still lead to a dead end.

Ling Xiao set up an illusion array within the cave leading to the canyon. This was a Tianyuan Continent illusion array, and Ling Xiao intended to use this opportunity to test the results of his work over the past few months.

Now, Zhou Yu’s greatest concern was that the shadow of the Amaterasu Nation warriors might be hidden behind the current chaos. If that were truly the case, it would be terrifying indeed. Zhou Yu simply could not imagine any other force besides the Amaterasu Nation warriors capable of causing such turmoil at White Crocodile Cliff at this moment.

Walking down the street, Shen Tong heard the sound of a piano. Following the melody, he arrived at a piano shop.

“I wonder, Director Jun, if you would be willing to cooperate with me?” a company CEO asked as he walked over.

As the number of super-powered individuals dwindled, people realized something was wrong. The remaining super-powered individuals banded together to resist the Sanctuary, leading to the formation of the Superpower Association. Today, the Sanctuary and the Superpower Association are in a state of mortal enmity, and a great war is already brewing.

“Alright, withdraw the team.” Shen Tong and Xue Junyi exchanged a glance, handed the criminals over to their colleagues, and walked over to Xue Haifeng.

Then, he arranged the plague patients in the city into groups based on the severity of their infections.

Williams was speechless and appeared quite awkward. He glanced at Ding Zhen, as if seeking help, but Ding Zhen merely looked on with schadenfreude. This panicked Williams; perhaps this was the price he paid for failing to send an invitation to this local kingpin.

“Besides, Meng Yu needs to evacuate as well. With the fourth brother accompanying her, I feel much more at ease!” Fan Yuntong added.

Lifting Angela’s head, their eyes met, and Angela saw trust in Adair’s gaze.

“Hmph, for Felicia’s sake, I won’t hold it against a piece of trash like you…” Su Jun said, reaching for his money.

Over the next few days, Shen Tong went to this boxing ring every night, and Tasa also appeared frequently at the ring during this time.

Su Jinyan smiled slightly, “No rush, no rush.” He said this with his mouth, but his eyes never left her.

Seeing the woman’s frantic state, Nanny Pan dared not snatch the scissors away rashly and kowtowed, begging bitterly. Seeing this, the wet nurse felt her legs go weak; she turned and stumbled away, running to seek help.

When Su Dai arrived, her eyes were slightly red. The old lady held her and wept, calling her "my heart, my heart" for quite a while, only calming down after the others comforted her.

Some Star Masters also looked grave. Had Hong Jing’s spatial leaping reached this level? Jumping back and forth without leaving a trace.

On this side, Wei Limo stepped down from the lowered imperial carriage, while on the other side, the head eunuch stepped forward and pounded on the gates of the Yufu Palace.

Shen Changzai was somewhat surprised. Going to the Fengyi Palace at this hour? However, seeing that Concubine Xi said nothing more after mentioning the Fengyi Palace and seemed unwilling to speak further, she found it inappropriate to ask any more questions.

“Alright.” She was utterly exhausted. Although heavy official business weighed on her mind, she lacked the energy to think and fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Mo Qingye’s fingers were cool, but her overall aura was not cold; rather, it carried a touch of warmth. Her dark hair was half-pinned in a bun, making her look relaxed and easygoing. The maids in the room were just setting out the meal when Nanny Nanyun entered, caught sight of them, and signaled for them to leave.

Such a weapon was useless if it couldn’t strike the enemy, no matter how heavy or hard it was. None of the many Lion Clan elders could command the Heavenly Lion Claws effectively. Wearing this divine weapon would only make one’s movements sluggish and reveal numerous flaws.

“Haha, it is true that I am quite busy, but I haven't reached the point of being overwhelmed by state affairs. I still have some leisure time. I heard that your township is quite nice, and I wanted to come and experience it beforehand so I wouldn’t have nothing to say at the meeting tomorrow. Long Xian, you’ve come at the right time; tell me about it in detail.”

Thinking of this, Zuo Xunhuan immediately stopped chasing Lin Feng, scanned the surroundings, and chose his path of retreat.

She had originally been probing, but seeing his cute and innocent reaction, she deviated from her original intention, and what she said became more of a provocation and a tease.

Wang Mingyi looked at me in surprise and immediately beamed with joy. I had originally thought that moving everything up wouldn't be strenuous, but by the third trip, I was truly quite exhausted.

“No, if the God-Slayer were also in the village, with their strength, they would have already conquered it. They wouldn't go to such great lengths to circle around,” the Third Generation said.

“You really are ignorant. Lin Feng’s influence in the underground world is incredibly powerful. Aside from the Freemasons and the Rothschild family, it seems there is no force greater than Lin Feng’s,” Tang Zongming said disdainfully.
