Chapter 24

In the world of Mosley, the Hall of Rulers remained much as it had been during the Earth era, as if time itself had frozen there.

Every day, besides guiding Lu Xi’er, Bai Le spared no effort in instructing the other disciples in their cultivation.

But the rest of his words caught in his throat; it turned out that Ye Chenfeng was staring straight at her.

Contractors operate based on purely rational thinking, prioritizing self-interest above all else. For them, food is merely a necessary supply to maintain bodily functions, much like water. However, no one objected to this meal, as they knew that for a long time to come, they might have nothing but canned goods and compressed biscuits to stave off hunger.

But the Hundred Flowers Fairy had been fighting mutated beasts in the Northeast; how had she arrived in Kunming, Yunnan?

Ten minutes later, Lang Hong and his assistant hurried over. They went to inquire about what exactly was going on, only to be given the same answer. It wasn’t that the aunt was acting abnormally; her signature was on every document. Helpless, the two of them had to leave.

Breaking free from the illusions, the only thing all the Seven Star Sect disciples heard was that sentence, and they witnessed the dissipation of that black whirlwind with their own eyes.

Li Chensha spoke as he retrieved a tactical backpack from the room and took out a golden insect egg.

Following Mei Rou’s sneak attack, his plans had shifted slightly. The Central Legion had originally intended to coordinate with General Fei Qianshang, but now, Fei Qianshang would have to complete the mission alone; the Central Legion had to remain to guard the Second Heaven.

Ordinary people, faced with the aura of so many experts from powerful clans, simply crumbled; they couldn't even speak, let alone act arrogantly.

Guo Yun walked along the outer corridor. The Ge family servants were hanging festive lanterns; they were to be married tomorrow, so the manor was naturally decked out in celebration, though not a single person had a smile on their face.

Ji Tingyan’s face turned crimson, mortified. When she finally realized what was happening, she found herself sitting in the man’s lap. She trembled all over and looked up.

The others wore expressions of grief, though they had no standing to judge Shangguan Fengze, given his status. Yet, they felt indignant, a stifling frustration they couldn't vent.

Zhang Lu’s expression grew even more unsightly. He had long wanted to confess his feelings to Gao Yue, but he feared the Old President’s wrath if he found out, so he had to suppress his love for her.

Seeing them closing in, Wang Jingjing’s face showed despair, knowing she could not escape this time.

As for Bai One-Eye, no matter how wild Bai Cheng’an acted outside, he had to behave when he got home. This was because Bai One-Eye possessed both real power and daring, and Bai Cheng’an dared not cross him. Furthermore, Bai Cheng’an’s father was Bai One-Eye’s elder brother; the two had forged their path in the underworld back when Hengzhong Province was in its most chaotic state.

In an instant, the behemoth leaped above Xu Fan’s head, its four hooves aimed squarely at his body. Xu Fan had no doubt that being trampled meant being torn limb from limb. Despite having been infused with half of the spirit veins of Penglai Immortal Island by the Fire Qilin not long ago, he still dared not test the attack with his own body.

Nothing in this world comes easily; one cannot learn something just by glancing at it. Rune masters must dedicate a vast amount of effort and energy to practice before they can craft superior runes, let alone divine ones.

The Liu family, who had previously harbored a deep hatred for the Yi family, turned deathly pale, losing all courage to seek revenge.

The Jieyun Mountain faction had long wanted to settle scores with Shi Chun. After finally locating him, they found they couldn't get in, and even if they did, they dared not cause trouble inside.

So much time had passed that what was done could not be undone; it was now too late to regret.

A strange atmosphere permeated the room. Lu Junqian took a deep breath and blocked the others who were preparing to enter.

He Suoyue exhaled slowly. He tucked the quilt around her, staring at her luminous, pale cheeks in the light from the window, his fingertips gently brushing over her brow bone, eyelids, cheeks, and finally her lips.

When the waiter came out, the door was not fully closed, allowing Li Sheng to see the situation inside clearly.

He could only secretly hope that the Golden Core cultivators of the Fire Wolf Gang would show some backbone and hold out for at least a quarter of an hour.

Ye Zhenzhen lay on the ground, weak and powerless, unable to muster the strength to even shift her body. Her clothes were shredded, soaked through with red. Though her extraordinary features were still vaguely discernible, her entire body was covered in wounds, and her blood had dyed the floor crimson.

The second aunt was forcibly pulled away, but Qiao Peiyao was in a miserable state, looking no different than if she had been disfigured.

The five of them had their major acupuncture points sealed and their magical powers suppressed; let alone supernatural abilities, they couldn't even climb to their feet.

Thinking that Gao Jindian would surely feel awkward meeting her, she told Ding Feiyang to keep an eye on Ding Ergou and immediately headed downstairs.

A battlefield is not a duel. While clashing with Ger, Xisa had to constantly face the leaders who rushed up to besiege him. It could be said that Xisa had the hardest struggle of them all.

Yu Bin’s standard London accent made the taxi driver turn his head in surprise; the Asian face made it hard for the Englishman to understand why this man sounded more like a Londoner than a Londoner himself.

“Auntie doesn't understand these things. Just tell me directly—how much longer can I live?” Fei Yu struggled to prop herself up, but was stopped by Yu Bin.

He cursed himself for not seeing the situation clearly, having been misled by those from the Great Brahma Heavenly Domain.

All the students shivered. The cafeteria had heating, with the temperature around thirty degrees, but they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
