Volume 1, Chapter 28: She Looks So Beautiful Tonight

Liu Xu and the three others exchanged glances, unsure of Long Zhiru’s meaning. Suddenly, Hua Yao spoke up, “Clan Chief, are you saying she has also ascended to the Divine Emperor realm?” Long Zhiru nodded, “Indeed. Apart from the Divine Emperor lifting her seal, she herself has broken through to that realm.”

Having arranged this meeting personally, one must see it through to the end, even if it means crawling! The race was nearly halfway done; past the upcoming intersection, a turn would mark the return journey.

Li Jiang slapped sharply across the face, the crisp sound echoing in all directions. Mei was stunned by his slap.

“You people from the Death Realm are truly brutish and reckless. To speak openly of eating human flesh and drinking human blood—if the blood of the gods were only used in such a way, it would be such a waste!” Mei Xie said to Li Jiang.

Thus, the senior and middle ranks of the Underworld Alliance were finally confirmed smoothly, and even the Martial God breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Lv Xuan was puzzled. Although forbidden magic and sorcery were unconstrained, ritual practice was meticulous, especially in its strict timing requirements.

“May I ask, Lord Realm King, what level have you attained?” Li Jiang asked from the side—this was also a matter of concern for Fu Lie.

Even the ferocious beasts who attacked instinctively paused. Though their intelligence was inferior to humans, Li Jiang saw that each towering beast, some over a hundred feet tall, regarded the three-meter-high ape with burning admiration and respect, as if he were their leader—and indeed, it seemed so.

It should be noted that the honorary elders were not truly internal members of the National Martial Arts Association. Yet, Chen Tai and the other three honorary elders gradually gained power, becoming an influential faction within the Association, to the extent that even Zhou Yuhu, the president, had to show them some respect.

Moreover, Xiao Yunfei’s proposal was not without merit. For sufficient representation, the New Underground Alliance was the most suitable, distinguishable from the original Underworld Alliance.

Upon hearing the Empress say she had added Afulong to the Eight Treasures Soup bestowed upon her, and had already consumed an addictive dose, Gentleman Mirror knew there was no turning back.

Chu He raised his hand again. Before it fell, Luo Qianqian felt a gust of wind pass by her side and saw a dark figure suddenly standing before her, blocking that arm.

Feng Qiqi, seeing this, felt a flash of relief in her phoenix-like eyes adorned with long lashes. She silently thought: Jin’er still remembers to visit me; she has not completely forgotten her sister.

Especially since Master Kunmo Gui Mi came to power, a large number of ministers sent as dowries by Princess Xieyou were employed, organizing their tribes to dig irrigation channels and sow crops near Chigu City.

Attribute: Ranked 1300th on the Silver-level Monster List. When it grows a second pattern, it can evolve into a dual-patterned venomous python and ascend to the Golden-level monster.

“You just nearly drowned. I pulled you ashore. You didn’t regain consciousness for a while, so I...” Yi Qingren pursed his lips but ultimately didn’t voice his thoughts.

Only Jing Mengke was always sarcastic; however, this was his usual manner with everyone. No one had ever seen him in a good mood, and no one found his attitude toward Chang Shenghua peculiar.

But now, the one-armed Jun Tingfan had no options. His cold, piercing gaze swept over Feng Qiqi and the others before he leapt away from Prince Li’s mansion.

At this moment, Zhang Yuxuan was waiting at the agreed place. As Li Xue got out of the car, she deliberately searched for Zhang Yuxuan’s figure and easily found him.

As if guided by fate, Master Xuanzang seemed oblivious to the Weishui River’s waters as he rode his horse directly into the river, though he did not fall in.

This time, Eason did not linger in Baishi City. Those who wished to befriend or confront him barely had time to react before Eason, along with the arriving sisters Caro and Freya, boarded the departing airship.

Though he couldn’t truly wield a blade, fists were still effective. After beating him until he was covered in bruises, he would have to truly find those vulnerable spots.

As the imperial seal transformed into a red light and merged into Im’s body, Eason immediately felt an inexplicable link form between their souls.

In this way, after a hurried journey, the group finally arrived at the palace. Whether the Empress Dowager realized that her anxious demeanor was harming Kangxi, or was feeling the nervousness of returning home, she no longer seemed so urgent. Calm and deliberate, she appeared to want to take some time to recuperate before receiving the Mongolian tribes’ representatives.

Time passed by the seconds, and Wu You collapsed weakly to the ground. The entire slime body seemed to have completely melted away, utterly unable to rise.

Actually, as long as nothing serious happened, Ya Chun would not bother caring about Nan Shu’s true character.

The moment Kronos thought of Eason’s miraculous Sky Island ability to improve the quality of scrap metal, he immediately understood.

Every time she heard others talk about her son, a mother’s heart swelled with deep pride and joy.

Amidst the falling rubble, the muscular man’s hand suddenly clamped around Feiyi’s neck. In that instant, Feiyi’s whole body was flooded with intense pain. This familiar ache stirred unease in his heart.

At this very moment, the center of the energy storm visibly twisted violently.

“What do you intend to do?” Qian Qiyue rolled down the car window. Her eyes shone like stars, her expression as cold as a glacier, clearly signaling a firm refusal. The person blocking her path was someone she knew all too well—too familiar, in fact.
