“What are we supposed to do, then? Are you saying this is the only path left to us...?” Windcloud Leopard asked in disbelief.

Where was this place? Li Yaohua instinctively cried, “Master—” Then she laughed through her tears. Why had he gone to such lengths—even enduring humiliation—to trick her into leaving the human world and coming to the immortal realm? She had not understood before, but perhaps she did now.

Being able to leave the Harmonized-Heaven Immortal Treasury had always been Yun Buhui’s dream. He knew that, trapped here, advancing to the Return-to-Divinity Realm was virtually impossible. The Gate of the Origin of Heaven and Earth simply could not be opened here.

Li Yaohua found it strange that they were whispering among themselves. She turned and glanced at them, and they immediately fell silent, hurriedly avoiding her gaze.

It turned out that Qiu Shasha had never left. She had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity—one she believed would guarantee a successful ambush.

I forced myself to stop thinking about An Rushuang, gathered my thoughts, and sat cross-legged on the ground. Slowly, I began cultivating my vital yang energy with the Art of Refining the Self.

Wugui glanced at her but said nothing. He quietly toyed with the prayer beads in his hand, utterly calm and composed. Even when a banyan leaf fell onto his smooth, shaven head, he did not so much as raise an eyelid.

Why had he needed to say that? How could I possibly sacrifice his life to restore my sight?

“Roar! Go to hell!” Those words struck Zhong Fei where it hurt most. With a furious roar, he intensified his attack.

Cultivation was always tedious, and anyone who could take such pleasure in enduring that tedium was clearly no ordinary hard worker. Leo was evidently one such person.

Yet several disciples of the Thundercloud Sect suddenly clutched their crotches and collapsed to the ground in agony, howling like tortured ghosts.

Qin Bai had been born from his blood, and he had watched him grow up. Now, being asked to persuade Qin Bai to submit to another and become someone else’s mount filled Qin Yu with deep self-reproach, guilt, and murderous intent.

The elder took in every scene before him. Then, with a glance at the young man beside him, he folded his arms, closed his eyes, and calmly settled into meditation.

Li Erlong wanted to savor more deeply, more fully, and more carefully the excitement Wang Xuelan aroused in him at that moment. Reality, however, would not allow it. He was still driving, after all, and the road wound through rugged mountains, with cliffs on one side and sheer precipices on the other.

“Daoist Lu, could you tell me exactly what bloodline flows within me?” Qin Yu asked further. That was what he truly wanted to know.

Han Sui thought that Pang De had not even been able to defeat Huang Zhong; what if Yan Xing ended up injured? He had no desire to do anything so disadvantageous to himself.

A reincarnator on his second mission could hardly be called a good person, while the monstrous doctor who could keep switching bodies probably could not even be considered human.

“Go explore the main city of Tianhuang for now. I’ll contact you when I have time,” Qin Yu told Li Qing and the other two before leaving without looking back.

“He isn’t a ghost. His life signs are normal. He’s human.” Erfen’s answer was so absurd that it was almost laughable, as though he were simply amusing himself.

“Precisely!” Faced with the question, the two men from the Profound Heaven Sect replied with complete confidence, as if merely mentioning the Stargazing Daoist’s name were itself an honor.

It was easy to guard against an open spear, but difficult to defend against a hidden arrow. Although the entire Glazed-Eye family treated that toad as a priceless treasure and concealed it with great care, in the end they still could not keep it from the hands of those thieves who moved across rooftops.

After Doctor Qisali finished speaking and there had been a brief silence, Kaja’s voice finally came from inside.

At that moment, following the middle-aged burly man’s offhand remark, more than half the people present became visibly agitated and hurriedly spoke up.

Ever since the news that Yue Shang City had discovered corpselike creatures resembling the Nether Clan had reached the empire, the upper echelons of the Nine-Leaf Empire had been thrown into turmoil.

Ye Yu had no choice but to do this. A fat panda might not even exist anywhere across the lands of the Spirit Realm, and it was far too distinctive. If anyone saw a fat panda traveling alongside a handsome young man, they would immediately realize that he was the Demon Prince concealing a priceless treasure. That would inevitably invite envy and create unnecessary trouble.

According to Hong Ming’s estimate, its power completely surpassed the Fourfold Piercing Hand and was only slightly weaker than the Threefold Piercing Hand.

Grace instinctively performed a backflip, evading the golden streak of light that burst from the dense forest and shot toward her.

Although the drones were still being shot down one after another by He Moming, once Sharon Epp’s formidable calculations had deciphered the Void Walker’s attack patterns, He Moming might have no option left except to activate the Triple Red Mode.

But clearly, against Hong Ming, who possessed the Sharingan, their illusionary tricks had become utterly meaningless.

Cheng Yu naturally understood how difficult it would be to make Duke Cao Cao of Wei awaken to the truth. To a warlord aspiring to rule the world, the unification of the realm was the goal to which he had devoted himself unwaveringly.

After receiving Li Ye’s approval, the artificial intelligence was evidently delighted. It immediately set off another round of special effects in the room, with flowers and fireworks appearing everywhere.

Regretful though he was, he still swiftly picked up the gun. His pupils widened slightly as he stared at the tightly closed wooden door.

The decision was quickly finalized, and he had the designer contact the aquarium. Ye Dongqing planned to keep a tank of tropical fish. Compared with cats and dogs, he preferred animals that were easy to care for and did not make any noise. He was already eagerly looking forward to moving into the new house.

Many people immediately felt relieved. Some even said they wanted to take a photograph with Ye Dongqing or ask for his autograph.

A defensive magical artifact of this kind had to possess at least enough power to stop bullets. It was fundamentally different from a simple talisman, which was why Qin Fan had gone looking for this jade pendant.

“Forget it. I’m too tired to think about it anymore.” Fatigue washed over Liang Xiao, and he decided to follow Hela’s advice and get some sleep first.
