Chapter 65

The only piece of furniture in the thatched cottage, a wooden plank bed, creaked and groaned as if it might collapse at any moment. The pore fungus beast had long since retreated into the corner of the bed, crouching on the ground with its hooves covering its eyes, hiding and trembling violently.

"That goes without saying. How could the Yang family possibly want anyone other than a grandmaster-level figure to serve as their residential retainer and patron?" said Qiao Yishan.

Leaving the room, the three of them took the elevator downstairs. Just as they reached the entrance, they saw a few ruffians of various heights swaggering into the hotel.

The voice was calm and serene, yet beneath its icy exterior lay a multitude of fragmented reminders and precautions for restoring physical health. Such tedious and nagging instructions could easily have been delegated to subordinate disciples, but the owner of the voice explained everything with unflagging, meticulous care.

The expressions of the group remained unchanged. Among them, Hua Yingyan flicked her wrist, and the radiance of her flying sword flared suddenly, transforming into a steel awl that drilled straight toward one of the hound demon's eyes.

Cave Master Qianyuan was startled. That palm strike had been executed with his full strength. Even though he knew the handsome young man before him posed a threat capable of rivaling him, it was still a shock to see his full-power blow shattered with such effortless ease.

Helian Shijiu was unaware that Xu Nian possessed a reverse-scale short sword whose tier reached the Qin and Han dynasties. While the nameless dagger in his hand at this moment certainly could not compare to the reverse-scale sword, its value to Xu Nian far surpassed it.

"Is your right hand out of your control?" Feng Bai asked, placing the food he was holding onto the table. He reached out and grasped Zhang Dadan's wrist. Normally, anyone grabbed at that spot would instantly lose all strength and fall under another's control, but Zhang Dadan was different; his right hand continued to flail wildly, defying even Feng Bai's firm grip.

As the young cultivators drew closer to the mountain forest where the great fissure was located, human traces became increasingly dense. Broken branches, shattered stones, deep pits, fissures, and all kinds of battle scars lay before everyone's eyes.

"The situation in Chiang Mai is so complex right now, and people are frequently assassinated. Staying anywhere else is unsafe, whereas this place actually makes me feel secure," Du Yong said.

Coming here and listening to the most exquisite, grandiose, and breathtaking music in the world today is the aspiration of many martial artists who love music.

Lin Jingchen watched as Jian Yu gradually drifted off to sleep before quietly getting out of bed to check on Lu Beichen. In truth, he had always been aware of Lu Beichen's feelings for Jian Yu, choosing simply not to expose them, and certainly having no desire to bring them to light now.

On the left side, the castle and its surrounding auxiliary buildings were ablaze with light, while various deafening noises echoed from within.

Meanwhile, a beam of celestial light shot forth at incredible speed, actually arriving ahead of time to overtake the triangular armor-piercing arrow fired by Chu He.

"Brother Yuheng, thank you," Xu Jiarun said, a little reluctant to untwine her arms from Shi Yuheng's neck.

The enemies were well aware of their operational style as soldiers, having set traps in advance to wait for them to walk right into the trap like hares waiting by a stump.

Seeing what was in Lin Yu's hand, Yun Qingfeng's eyelid twitched violently, his lips trembled, and he pointed a finger straight at Lin Yu.

Seeing that he was not even going to take the items, Zhao Tianming followed along with the metal bowl. The stall owner glanced at them, counted the money, and smiled triumphantly. He made no move to stop Zhao Tianming; after all, the money was already in his pocket.

Yang Yuan leaned against the wooden bench with his eyes closed, while Yang Xiang sat curled up in the corner with his head buried in his knees.

He let out a helpless sigh, having no destination in mind. Looking at so many planets, how could he possibly know where his path lay? Consequently, he was left entirely without direction.

Through millions of cycles of reincarnation, all he received in return were millions of rebirths. These countless rebirths allowed Tianying to witness all forms of love, hatred, and vendettas—a necessary process that Tianying had to undergo.

Hearing this, Zhou Tian was startled once more, then shifted his gaze to Zhou Long. Zhou Long was looking back at him with a complex expression, and after a moment, gave Zhou Tian a solemn nod.

After the match concluded, the disciples murmured among themselves in low voices. They had originally expected the bout between Meng Li and Yue Yi to be a captivating spectacle, because although Yue Yi possessed the strength of the King Realm, Meng Li wielded a spiritual object as a weapon.

"Xing Tian, unable to endure the Heavenly Dao, you shall ultimately fail to become a Divine Emperor." Ji Chen traced a few ghostly runes upon Xing Tian's physical body, sealing it from east to west and chaining it from south to north. With the Nine Stars illuminating the moon, divine fire divided into thirty-six Heavenly Gangs to serve as his guards, tightly imprisoning Xing Tian's corporeal form.

Watching Lan Rongyue's smiling expression, he suddenly noticed that her peerless face was filled with a gentle smile, yet he perceived it as a gentle blade, every stroke fatal. He instinctively felt that the current Lan Rongyue was even more terrifying than before.

"She is unsuited to be a chess piece. Between her and me, there is nothing but transactions and enmity." Lan Rongyue took the tea brewed by Hongxiu, the faint fragrance washing away the lingering taste of blood in her mouth.

"You must not be so rude in the future. Is the imperial palace a place where you can just fall asleep whenever you please?" The Old Dowager lectured her for a bit. Seeing that Wen Yucou's complexion was not looking too well, her heart softened, and she let her return.

"Heh, to be honest, there is nothing I want that I cannot buy. In my eyes, money is no object. Speak, how much will it take for you to make a move?" Despair was unimpressed by Optimus Prime's words. After letting out a loud, mocking laugh, he pointed at Optimus Prime and shouted aggressively.

"Wouldn't that be rather wonderful? I just wonder who the opponent is." Mu Yi was very curious about the identity of his adversary.

Between heaven and earth, flames soared into the sky and dragon qi surged. Explosive sounds rang out continuously, and the close-quarters combat between the two reached its absolute peak.

If there was danger lurking within this shopping mall, then the enemy would likely have spotted him the moment he stepped inside, rendering any notion of concealment irrelevant.

Some greeted Yuan Shao, while others did not even bother; but at this point, Yuan Shao no longer cared. The more people who left, the fewer troubles he had, as long as he retained the title of Alliance Leader.

"Tell me, just how precious is this holy water?" Seeing that Yun Hao had refocused on driving, the seductive snake asked once more.

Indeed, no matter how first-generation zombies evolved, they ultimately retained human shells. Second-generation zombies, however, were rather different; the mutations within their bodies were far more formidable, sometimes truly rendering them unrecognizable.

He believed he had made himself quite clear, yet the other party was still being so relentlessly persistent. For a moment, he actually felt a surge of genuine anger.

I leaned in to take a closer look and saw that the key was pitch-black, about two inches long, with a black pearl embedded at the end of the handle.

Ye Xiu had no choice but to slump back down dejectedly, temporarily abandoning the impractical idea of trying to sit up.
