Chapter 34: The Reunion

Due to the crackdown on organized crime, the atmosphere in the capital has shifted, becoming less restless. The lives of the common people have seen some changes as well; the days of being targeted for refusing to pay protection money are gone, and a series of operations have also effectively suppressed the gambling dens.

Unfortunately, before they had even walked a few dozen meters, the lava monster let out a chilling, trembling sneer.

Under normal circumstances, such matters would be handled by the old Emperor, and it would not be Zhao Cheng’s place to seek her out in the inner palace.

Meditation is less about spiritual cultivation and more about disciplining the mind, preventing one from losing themselves amidst endless slaughter.

"I don't know." Over the past month of conversation, Unalite had gained a preliminary understanding of this world. She realized that too many things were not as superficial as they appeared, which is why her answer to the same question, separated by a month, was different.

Jiang Bei was not overly worried. As long as Player 3 was the Seer and his divination was correct, it did not really matter how well Player 4 spoke.

After the matter was concluded, Zhu Yi closed his eyes to rest, but Charlotte was still energetic, gently stroking Zhu Yi’s python-patterned robe.

The two chatted for a while longer about the competition, and by then, it was past eleven o'clock at night.

One must realize that although the divine roles and the villagers belong to the same faction, their differing hidden agendas cause them to think along different lines.

Only a Celestial Master who has attained the Dao, one who aligns with the heart of Heaven and is nearly one with the Dao—a semi-saint—possesses the ability to make others forget their pasts and start anew.

"How did he think of directing himself? Didn't he always hire other directors for his previous films?" Wang Zhongjun’s feelings were complicated; it would be a lie to say he didn't regret missing out on Zhou Bai.

Just as Lin Shengnan was beginning to feel exhausted, a subtle, ethereal voice suddenly entered her ears.

The convoy entered Luoshan Town and stopped without warning. Yet, just as everyone prepared to disembark, the convoy began to move again, leaving all the officers and soldiers completely baffled.

Even so, the power of the explosion still reached Bai Yu. His body became riddled with holes, and the light from the explosion shone outward through the voids in his body, a truly gruesome sight.

Every day, merchants from all over come here to purchase crystals, which are then sold around the world. The prosperity of Cloudfall City owes much to this crystal vein dungeon.

Under the suppression of the Heavenly Martial Beast Soul, the demon spirits of the fifth floor of the Nine-Fold Demon Tower were all integrated into the structure itself. Only then did the fifth floor begin to shift and transform; the soul-weapon blade body gradually emerged. Swirling ghost fires flew about, and the fierce aura surrounding the soul-weapon blade was intense—far stronger than it had been on the second, third, or fourth floors.

Mu Cheng nodded. In those days, he was young, spirited, and full of vigor, skilled in the six arts and particularly fond of playing the zither. But these were merely fleeting clouds; once he learned of his illness, the gazes of others, once filled with admiration and envy, could no longer stir a shred of passion in him.

Nadia: "We learn from each other when we don't understand something; the ability for self-study is exceptionally strong. Everyone persists in independent learning, which saves a lot of expenses every year."

"It doesn't matter. The thing I lack the least right now is time. Tell me about it," Sun Fei said, spreading his hands with a calm tone.

"But Mother dotes on me, and Brother cherishes me, so I shouldn't feel that my status as a concubine's child makes me inferior to others!" Otherwise, how could I face my aunt? Shao Zhiqiu silently recited to herself.

Seeing that Ka Bao had beaten him to it, Zhang Xingguo stomped his feet in annoyance, then snorted at Ying Weiguo before walking away. Watching his father-in-law, who still didn't care for him much, Ying Weiguo could only shake his head and follow.

Afterward, Meng Qiannian, the Master of True Martial Mountain, carried a large universe bag on his back. Ignoring Shao Feng’s struggling inside, he flew off to the outer sect with a cheerful laugh.

"Very well, then I will wait here for three days to see. If it is proven after three days that the medicinal properties of the Demonic Sound Grass are indeed effective, I will immediately begin preparing for an all-out strike against the Beiye family," Lan Shan also nodded silently.

Seeing Lin Xi, Alice’s anger dissipated significantly. Knowing that Old Zhao was just worried about her, she waved for him to return.

Feng Junming tossed the Cloud Heart, which emitted a faint golden light, toward Tang Kaiyu.

Taking four bronze Bagua mirrors from his hands, Lin turned to face the reverse teleportation formation he had shifted behind him.

However, the aura radiating from Hong Taixu was too terrifying. Since they were generally only at the Qi Refining stage, how could they possibly be a match for him?

Despite the massive cost of building Storm City, the finances of Sunset City withstood the pressure. As housing prices in Storm City skyrocketed, the treasury saw a large surplus, though most of these funds were poured into the research of magical weaponry.

Klaus, who had been feeling a bit relieved, suddenly felt nervous when he heard the man’s question.

Having truly determined his inner pursuit, Ling Feng did not have many sighs this time. Perhaps having come to Icebound City twice already, the prosperity here could no longer surprise him. Following the address provided by his family, Ling Feng headed directly toward the South City.

"I’m not an amateur, either," Seven-Caged Deity said, grabbing the guitar without further ado. He sat on the edge of the bed and plucked the strings, evoking emotion before the melody had even begun.

"Does that mean one of the songs on our new album is a cover?" Im Yoona said, not minding at all; a cover song was hardly big news.

The village chief’s house was not as formal as those of the high officials in the city. After the two entered the door, they were invited into the living room. The village chief was there talking to people who had come to pay their New Year respects, and seeing Liu Xiaoyu and the others walk in, Village Chief Liu quickly stood up to welcome them.

Nangong Lunhui, in his final moments of clarity, looked a little better. He handed the divine weapon in his hand to the orphan he had adopted, his eyes filled with relief and a sense of release.

Based on his experience, with such a thing having happened, Wan Qingming would naturally hold the same desire to "cover it up," yet Wan Qingming’s reply left Tian Paikun dumbfounded.

However, because the Dragon God of Good, Bahamut, had few disputes with the other gods and spent most of his time sleeping, he was well-regarded among the gods of the Lawful Good alignment, and many deities held him in high esteem.
