Volume One, Chapter 44: Trapped on Livestream

"Xu Yu, you finally made it!"

As soon as Wen Xu Yu stepped into the newspaper office, she saw Shen Mo running toward her.

A crowd followed behind, bustling and noisy.

"Madam Bian, hello, I am Li Li, the chief editor of the newspaper."

A man with a receding hairline reached out, wanting to shake her hand.

Wen Xu Yu only smiled and nodded, but did not accept his gesture.

Since this man had sought her out, it meant he surely had an ulterior motive. Until his purpose was achieved, he would not simply vanish. If only he would disappear forever—it would save her a great deal of trouble.

The name "Cursed Land" of the Alchemy Valley was legendary in the Yuan family. For more than a hundred years, every outer disciple assigned to the Alchemy Valley had failed to awaken their destined artifact, cementing its reputation as the land of curses.

Nan Xue Yu thought to herself that such a fate was for the best. An emperor as ruthless and unjust as Chengde should have abdicated long ago.

Watching the two in silence, Ming Mofeng spoke with calm detachment, his words devoid of any heaviness, as if life and death were matters of little consequence.

A sharp slap echoed through the empty house. He froze, seeing five clear fingerprints on Yan Ke's pale face, a bead of crimson blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Her moving fingers were suddenly seized by the man. He, silent for a long time, finally spoke—a low, muffled voice tinged with suppressed pain. Yan Ke was startled, then understood, and dared not move recklessly again.

He Yun Song opened the door and walked out, surveying the courtyard filled with corpses. He asked in a calm voice.

A meteor streaked across the sky. At the table, someone suddenly moved—hands interlaced beneath his chin, eyes half-closed, murmuring softly under his breath.

Chu He ordered his men to take the dead warriors away and instructed all districts to be vigilant, lest more assailants arrive. The princess had indeed foreseen everything, predicting that someone would rescue Murong Yao and then attempt to ambush the Prince of Yue's mansion. Thus, they had prepared in advance, turning the trap into a "catching turtles in a jar" scenario.

"Hurricane Spiral Drill." The whirlwind drill on his arm was a new wind-based ability. Last time, the Phantom had used it with his foot, but now Ye Ming used his hand, smashing all enemies that stood in his way like an electric drill, breaking through layers of obstacles with the drill of the wind.

He jumped down from the pine tree and relayed what he had seen to Battle Croc. Battle Croc came up with an idea: let Clay send a sprite to investigate the situation. The earth sprite was far too big and might cause misunderstandings if it went.

Thus, after such an incident, Luo Yaoxiang naturally remained in Hong Kong; he did not go to America. Instead, he took advantage of the conveniences here—after all, there was no firewall on the internet—and orchestrated the entire event single-handedly.

Leslie Chow and those three fools were plotting together, examining a model—a model of a mansion.

"Just now, while using spatial abilities to sense the situation on Jupiter's fifth moon, I discovered someone else was doing exactly the same thing," Elaine Cher said seriously.

At that moment, many believed Gordon would win, unable to imagine what new tricks Wang Jun might pull.

Though preparations had been made, threatening someone who was nearly immortal was indeed too dangerous.

If Lin Yidong's stamina hadn't been immense—having advanced to Fifth Stage Grand Master—he would have quickly grown weary wielding the dagger.

Flower Charmer was silent for a moment, not speaking immediately. She had merely intended to remind Qingyuan, not divulge too much.

Yet, Jiang Chen's face remained impassive, as if the vast, world-destroying force before him—already surging toward him—was utterly unrelated to him. In the trembling void, an invisible aura arose, swelling madly, sweeping like the wind across the world.
