Volume One, Chapter 40: He Secretly Took More Than a Hundred Photos of Her Sleeping Face

Su Qiuyu did not push her away. Lowering her head, she watched her quietly for a moment before turning toward the window to gently draw the curtains.

Outside, a light rain was falling. The pattering sound echoed across the hundred acres of lake and mountain scenery, leaving the entire world drenched and glistening.

However, when Long Teng struck down the Sky Wolf Barbarian, he already knew that the two Golden Core stage experts stood no chance against his assault. Just as he had anticipated, both were left severely wounded by a single blow; they now lay on the ground, being lifted and surrounded by elite soldiers for protection, having completely lost their ability to fight.

The villa's front door was suddenly flung open with a heavy thud. Subconsciously, the group formed a circle to shield Miao Kedi.

Lan Jingjing chuckled and patted her chest, boasting with such bravado that she seemed capable of talking the stars down from the sky.

Frowning as he watched Xing Mu’s emotions spiral out of control, he cursed inwardly, blaming his own loose tongue. Now that he had provoked this plague god, what was he to do?

Consequently, Wan Zhiwei used his abilities to investigate everywhere, only to find that no one by the name of Yun Muyu had been hospitalized. Upon contacting the school, the administration stated that Yun Muyu had taken a leave of absence, arranged by her mother.

"I'll go get something to eat," Wan Zhiwei suddenly laughed. He had misunderstood; Yun Muyu was still the Yun Muyu he knew. She simply did not love him, but she had not lost her self-respect. This was a relief.

If a Divine Emperor-level expert did not come to break the seal for the White Dragon God, it would remain impossible to undo.

Ever since that man departed, the sisters of Gui Xin Garden told Yu Yuan that he had left. Upon hearing this, the heavy stone that had been weighing down her heart was suddenly lifted, and she felt a sudden, profound sense of ease.

Yet, in the distance behind Feng Ming, Long Teng and Bai Lin wore smiles. They had achieved exactly what they set out to do. The Qian Wolf Legion would not dare to venture out of the city for the time being, so now, they simply had to wait for reinforcements from Beiyan Pass.

It was not just the Cerberus trial; Mu Yan had tampered with the two subsequent checkpoints as well, excluding only the final room.

At the same time, Bai Yu and the others received a secret telepathic message from Ye Haoran and rushed over immediately. They discovered that Ye Haoran had vanished. As powerful cultivators themselves, they understood that he had been pulled into a Soul-Splitting Void; however, because this domain was so unfathomable, even they could not detect it in the short term.

Looking at the Dragon Emperor now, three bone-deep wounds ran across its back, bleeding incessantly and staining nearly all the dragon scales on its spine a deep crimson.

It was also possible that the opponent was simply a meticulous person. After all, as long as they did not make a move, the initiative would always remain in their hands.

He Ming followed the direction of Di Jiang’s finger and immediately saw a long, slender handprint on both of the deceased’s ankles—a sight that was truly shocking.

There were very few people in this hall, but every one of them possessed martial arts skills at the Xiantian realm or higher. In particular, the Master of the First Hall was said to have reached the Primordial Spirit realm.

This single strike immediately revealed the extraordinary combat prowess of the Liaodong Demon King, sending the demons of White Cloud Peak into a frenzy of boiling blood and wild cheers.

Wang Long could not help but feel a wave of disappointment. It seemed they had finished their argument, and the status between the two was clearly unequal. As soon as the person in the back took a hardline stance, the one in front immediately backed down. Though it was clear they were still resentful, they would certainly not continue the argument in a way that would allow him to overhear any more intelligence.

Just then, the town mayor arrived, fully armed and accompanied by town officials, constables, and laborers.

"Could we have been exposed? By this time, they should have returned," the driver said uneasily. Having passed the expected time, he had begun to prepare for the worst.
