Volume 1, Chapter 37: Opening the Coffin for Examination

Due to the black-box effect, Luo Tianyi, sitting in the sewer, could clearly see the two people above, while the sect leader and his subordinates remained completely oblivious to the situation below.

Old Mai smiled without a word; he could see through Boss Luo’s concerns at a glance. In truth, Old Mai’s suggestion was partly out of consideration for Luo Di, and partly because it was the standard practice for the cultivation world of Middle Earth to maintain ties with the mundane world.

After bidding farewell to Du La, Fellow Daoist Xue activated a miniature jade-screen-shaped stealth treasure, blurring his figure. As he passed, he blended seamlessly into the environment, rendering him invisible to the powerful yet mortal-eyed beasts.

Seeing the spirit beast’s expression, Lin Feiyu knew that this creature definitely knew something.

Listening to Dong Shuqiang’s words, Dongfang Yueya pouted and said, "Stinky uncle? I don’t understand what kind of constitution you're talking about, but I really want to learn your methods. I’ll be very serious, so just take me as your student! Otherwise, you’ll regret it."

Angle looked grave, staring intently at the two young men before him. His robes billowed as if he were facing a formidable enemy, and his short hair stood on end like a great ape whose territory had been encroached upon.

The others finally realized that Old Man Qianji had been fine all along; his feigned death was merely a ploy to secure a good reputation.

"Zhongyang Pass?" Yi Xiao was shocked at the news. Wasn't Zhongyang Pass guarded by Taishu Hong? Since Taishu Hong had already surrendered to the demon race, why would Prince Peng want to take the pass?

The A-rank gang member under attack barely had time to raise his hand when a white light, tinged with a hint of gold, pierced his neck as easily as if cutting through tofu.

He carefully folded the white cotton cloth and tucked it away with great care, intending to tell Li Wei about it when he entered the palace tomorrow.

"Will it be alright?" Li Wei was reluctant to believe it, but it was too late now, and not the time for such talk. She had to go to work early the next morning. Seeing that Zhao Qian refused to elaborate, she did not pursue the matter further.

However, Zhou Jiu knew that this was not the purpose of switching the broadcast at all. The true goal was to hide the secret of the formation of cultivators into an army. This secret might not remain hidden for long, but the later other nations discovered it, the greater the advantage for the combat effectiveness of the Xia Kingdom’s troops.

Honestly, she had a genuinely good impression of her older brother, Mei Junchu. To be able to show such care and concern for her, all because of the life-saving grace her birth mother had shown him—such a person had the most upright values and was worthy of respect.

As the words faded, the Great Elder’s figure flickered; he rose from the ground and leaped onto the roof, sprinting away. *Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!* The Fourth Elder and the others hurriedly followed.

This incident had caused quite a stir at the time, lasting for a full year, but in the end, it was proven that those miraculous effects could no longer be seen.

Holding the two copper coins tied to his waist, he inspected them, but aside from two lines of texture, there was nothing strange or unusual about them.

*Right,* he thought, *it must be Zhu Jinrui or Lan Xinyuan, or perhaps they did it together, deliberately trying to mess with me.*

However, Gong Yingxiong gritted his teeth, determined to fire this shot at Basong! At the same time, he diverted his attention to see who had called his name from behind.

Qing Ming was unwilling to admit that Ning Fan was stronger than him, so he immediately found an excuse for himself.

"Forget it, finding Uchiha Itachi is the top priority." Sasuke coldly refused. Deep down, he felt that the appearance of familiar faces from Konoha was more of a nuisance than anything else.

As for the Buddhist sect planting spies, that was no major concern. In reality, once you open your doors to accept disciples, it is inevitable that other factions will plant their people inside.

Facing the Great Elder’s concession, the crowd was completely speechless. Many stared at Kane with dull eyes—what exactly was so special about this guy’s elemental giant that it could force the Great Elder to back down time and again?

After Pangu created the world, the Creation Jade Lotus was shattered, the Creation Green Lotus disintegrated, and the God-Splitting Axe divided into three supreme innate treasures! The blade became the Pangu Banner, the back of the axe became the Taiji Diagram, and the handle became the Chaos Bell.

In legends, even the Oro imperial family only held three of these pills in reserve! Any single one was enough to grant a dying person a fleeting moment of vitality. With that moment of life, one might gain a second chance, so its preciousness could well be imagined.

Most importantly, having been ambushed and injured just now, even with the Red Lotus of Fire, he likely wouldn't be able to hold off the two of them for long.

Xing Tianyu and Silvia exchanged glances, both thinking, *This is a case of mud landing in one's pants—even if it isn't excrement, it's treated as such.*

In the original story, Sasuke was late, which was to learn the Chidori. But in the current development, Sasuke had mastered the Chidori early, so naturally, there was no chance to act cool by "arriving late at the critical moment, landing with a *boom*, and smiling deeply as if to say, 'Look at the amazing ultimate technique I’ve finally mastered.'"

Inside the grand formation, the two Good Corpses had been separated. Upon recognizing the formation, their expressions changed drastically.

The toad was furious; it opened its mouth and spat out a massive fireball. This wasn't saliva—the toad was truly enraged.

Under the obstruction of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, Jiang Ziya, who had come to provide support, was nearly killed. However, despite the Holy Mother's constant warnings that descending the mountain would lead straight into the trap of the Chan Sect, she was ultimately killed by Guang Chengzi, who used the Fan Tian Seal to strike her down in a sneak attack.

The group exchanged glances, fear rising in their hearts. Several gang members shook their heads, indicating they did not wish to try. Xuan Yi saw all of this but didn't expose them; he smiled and prepared to leave.

This was simply impossible. It was far more powerful than the Black Water Ghost King; being one of the Ten Evils was no empty reputation.

The epic was not merely a chronicle of the battlefield, but a three-dimensional tapestry of an era. With the heroic war songs carrying the raw, primitive essence of early humanity, Karl could not help but be completely immersed in it.
