Volume 1, Chapter 25: Fear Not! I Am Here!

"The alliance forces that departed from Moon Ninja Village have arrived at their respective destinations," said the Heavenly Demon.

Beneath the stone platform lay a chamber even larger than the one above. Standing at the front was a massive stone wall several men tall, upon which the image of Mo Ziqi clearly appeared.

Seeing Liao Chen looking at her and Zhou Yuanzhi with great anticipation, He Mengjiao had no choice but to recount the full sequence of events to Li Cunxiao, Xue Atan, Liao Chen, and Liao Chi.

This place remained covered in permafrost, and the surroundings were fraught with danger, as ice-snow divine beasts could appear at any moment.

Murong Tuori remained silent. Though displeased, he was nonetheless contemplating the implications of her words.

As Lu Fei stood filled with emotion, Nannan, who was beside him, tugged at his sleeve and pointed joyfully toward the palace complex ahead.

He had been busy with official duties lately. Having just taken over these few cities, there were many unresolved issues. Now, his Imperial Father had issued a decree ordering him to attack Qishuang City. Naturally, he was unhappy about it, and until now, he had not found a way to satisfy both sides.

The Shadow Arrow is not a special skill; it is an ability that can be unlocked once the Stealth skill reaches level 45.

Watching Liu Binghai’s mesmerized expression, his mouth agape, I knew my attire must be beautiful, yet it was not for his sake that I had dressed this way.

One must understand that even he, who possessed a miraculous technique and the aid of the Soul-Guiding Lamp, could barely maintain control! By what means had Lu Fei managed to suppress the Bridge of Helplessness so easily?

While I was making noodles, Yun Lu came over and told me she did not eat garlic, asking if I needed help. I told her to just go outside, sit down, and wait to eat.

As all the memories merged, Lin Muyang understood the full story: it was not suicide, but murder, though he lacked the evidence to prove it.

Yes, my thinking at the time was to sacrifice my right hand to buy time and retreat back into the shop.

Tian Haifeng was the first to notice. A phantom image darted through the Chenxu Cannon. Just as Shen Qingxue’s Thunder Bamboo was about to pierce Wang Yanming, a long spear thrust in from the side.

Ye Zijun shuddered and followed them out, only to see the two stop at the entrance of the factory. Curious, she followed their gaze and saw Ou Mufei, accompanied by a man—her benefactor, Duan Ruihua.

Mu Shiqing watched the car Xie Tang had driven away. She glanced toward Yan Lin’s courtyard with an expressionless face, then turned and walked back.

She was just an ordinary person without magical power; although Mu Chen had displayed his prowess earlier, she had seen nothing of it.

Once they occupied the deck, they could use it as a stronghold to trap the insect-men within their own sector.

The Kunlun Sect, a major school for thousands of years, had always considered itself the leader of the righteous path. The Taiji Xuanqing Dao it taught was regarded as the supreme classic of Taoism, which, when combined with Taoist supernatural powers, was immensely formidable.

After all, the number was so astronomical that he did not believe Su Mo Yu could possibly produce it.

Wu Ya reached out to take it. Her skin was aged and gnarled; compared to the countless elves she had seen along the way, this High Priestess was far more aged than them.

Although the two eunuchs held great power in the palace, they were so suppressed by the Emperor, as well as by the two men Zhang and Zhao, that they could barely move. That stifled frustration had long been buried deep in their hearts, but they had never had the chance to let it erupt. Now, hearing Li Ru’s words, it was as if the embers buried deep within their hearts were rekindling, and naturally, their spirits were greatly stirred.

Yet, the longing for his hometown, for his lovely wife and elderly father, spurred Liu Bang on at every moment to return to Guanzhong and the Chu lands as soon as possible.

Deep in the night, a bright moon hung in the sky, casting a layer of pale silver radiance from the vast heavens, covering the capital in moonlight like water. Ordinarily, this moonlit scene would be serene and cleansing to the soul, but the imperial capital beneath it was a scene of bustling noise, its prosperity even exceeding that of the daytime.

However, that particular spot was inconspicuous. Its ink-like color blended in with the surrounding walls, so the Evil God had not noticed it at first.

"How could that be!" the Heavenly Thunder Tiger waved his hand and laughed. What he did not know was that the Shadow Hero was actually speaking the truth.

"Innkeeper, what good food do you have? Call out your best dishes; don’t worry about the price!" Situ Mingkong looked like a ravenous wolf, swaying before the innkeeper, who was momentarily stunned.

Zhu Hong was even more puzzled. If they wanted to see him, why had they remained in stone form from start to finish, never revealing themselves, nor even speaking a single word to him?

But when he ran to the center of the room, he suddenly paused, for his right foot had been seized by Zhong Guangchang.

After a moment of shock, Imura Mitsuyuki immediately sensed something was wrong. His pupils constricted slightly, and he looked up at the sky in horror. Sure enough, he saw that the snow drifting down was abnormal—it was not falling evenly, but could clearly be seen drifting from a "specific location."

Being controlled to do things against her own will was painful enough; that feeling of being unable to help oneself was terrifying, especially since she had been controlled to harm others. This was a massive blow to Pascy, who had been determined to become a superhero.

This was undoubtedly good news for Lai Yumeng and Zhang Ruoyun. With little money on them, they did not know if they could even afford the hotel, so they naturally agreed.

The Mini Dragon flashed into the battlefield. Seeing it, the Poliwag timidly took a step back.
