Chapter 48

Once Xia Yu extracted the bullet, Ye Qinghan slowly closed his eyes and silently circulated his inner energy.

"Heh, so you are a member of the Temple of Light, then?" Gazing at the countless powerful cultivators trapped on the wooden stakes, Ling Xiao clenched his fists tightly.

As one of the people involved, Chu Zhaoyang was completely oblivious to Amanda's plan to reconquer him. He was secretly pleased with his skyrocketing presence lately, feeling as though everyone was eager to seek him out.

He could sense that the strength of these three strange figures in black was terrifying, definitely on the same level as the Profound Frost God of War of the Northern Territory. The demonic power contained within them was filled with destruction and despair, clearly intending to engage the Profound Frost God of War in a decisive battle.

Ye Xuan chanted silently in his heart. The moment Mo Qianshan closed in on him, a terrifying flame erupted from his body.

Most of the guests who arrived today were social elites, and many were friends of Li Meizhen. Li Meizhen kept holding onto Ling Wanzhi, insisting on introducing her to her friends. Ling Wanzhi felt rather awkward and subconsciously cast a glance at Ou Yiyang, but Ou Yiyang completely ignored her.

From inside the restaurant, one could overlook the bustling traffic and crowds outside, yet not a single trace of noise filtered through.

Ling Fei was kissed until her pretty face flushed red and her eyes shimmered. A few strands of her raven-black hair were blown across her face by the breeze. Song Tianmo raised a hand to gently tuck them behind her ear, then quietly slid his hand into his pocket and pressed a button on his phone.

"Got it, I know all of that. Don't worry, go to work." Ling Fei waved her hand and stood up, gently pushing him out the door.

"Smells good, doesn't it? Have a few more pieces when it's served later, I specially stewed it for you," Madam Sun said with a beaming smile.

Only then did Ruan Anguo realize how wrong their past insistence on forcing them to marry had been. Fortunately, neither of their lives was in danger now.

"Whether I'm sleep-talking or not is something you'll only know after trying it out. I'll give you one minute. If you haven't disappeared from my sight by then, don't blame me for being unpolite!" Ximen Yu threatened.

She was a genius, only seventeen years old. Originally, she had agreed with her ex-boyfriend, a former top-ranked teenage genius from Indonesia, to give herself entirely to him on the day she turned eighteen.

"Not even a minute!" Ruan Tianling's fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, his eyes never once looking at her.

As soon as the four gu worms emerged, an immediate wave of elation, excitement, and thrills welled up from Xiang Xie. They seemed quite pleased with the divine realm of the Shadow World. Xie Ying was momentarily stunned, then suddenly recalled that the characteristics of the Witch Tribe's gu worms and the divine throne of the Evil God were somewhat similar. Could everything truly be predestined by the heavens?

Liu Dazheng sat on the sofa smoking a cigarette, with Chu Xiong sitting beside him. Both of their expressions were exceptionally gloomy.

Although it wouldn't be a big deal even if Su Baimo discovered him, he had sneaked in after all. If this young woman were to suddenly wake up and see him, she would probably still be startled or even take some drastic action.

"How did you know?" Everyone in the room blurted out at once. The most astonished of all was Elder Guo. Having rushed out to invite Chu Jingzhai, he actually had no certainty in his heart, nor had he disclosed the detailed symptoms to him, simply asking him to come and see for himself.

Just as Qin Chuan was feeling shocked, the waters of the Ice Lake began to ripple. Then, a wild beast resembling a Kui ox emerged from the water, its entire body bound tightly by iron chains.

After being eliminated, entry into the top eight paid fifty thousand per match, the top four paid one million per match, and for the fighters entering the finals, the loser received two million while the winner took five million.

"I'm telling you, Big Brother, my elder sister is not selling. Besides, where were you guys when nobody wanted to buy this rough stone earlier? If you want to buy it, fine! Seven million! Euros! Take it or leave it!" Xu Yang said indifferently.

In the past, they were treated like the stars and the moon, with these people pandering to them. Never did they expect that today, the tables would turn and they would have to lower themselves—something completely unimaginable before.

Although Xia Fangyuan tried her utmost to suppress it, he still caught a trace of desolation in her eyes.

Yun Tianying only felt a blur before his eyes, and the entire world seemed to spin upside down in a dizzying reversal. When he opened his eyes once more, he discovered that he and Violet had arrived in a vast and magnificent hall.

Ming Chen, whose figure was rushing forward, abruptly halted. He turned his head in shock to look at the Spirit of the Divine Record, whose appearance was seven-tenths similar to Feng Chen's.

"I can't even count him and myself as friends... Doctor Zhen saved me, but he doesn't accept my gratitude," Liang Yin sighed softly.

Yet he never expected that the person coming out of the shop would be such a down-and-out figure like Old Li. This was the first time Qin Yibai had ever witnessed such a destitute individual among cultivators.

"Master, thank you, Master, for saving my life!" Once they were alone, Huikong immediately changed his form of address, his face filled with gratitude and reverence.

Especially nowadays, when the human race was plagued by war and weapon resources were scarce, some cultivators—even those of the Immortal rank—would consider themselves extremely fortunate just to possess a King-grade weapon. Weapons surpassing the King grade were even scarcer, let alone Spiritual artifacts.

Since Wuxing focused so intensely on speed and power, his own defensive capabilities shouldn't be very strong! Otherwise, why would he keep dodging?

At that moment, an-fanged tiger in the Wolf Valley was carelessly blasted flying by a fierce wolf. The excruciating pain wracking its body forced out a miserable, angry roar, but before the sound could travel far, it was abruptly cut short as the massive tiger carcass was slammed heavily onto the ground by the wolf.

This morning she had suddenly appeared in the garden, discovered that I wanted to enter the abandoned building, helped cover for me to divert Ji Manrou's suspicions, and then volunteered to bring me in, claiming she wanted to tell me the secrets of the General's Manor. Having helped me so much, why was she still lying?
