Volume 1, Chapter 25: The Great Seal of Mount Yu

However, time was pressing. Mingshu had no time to ponder Fu Zhixun’s true motives and headed straight for the central courtyard.

Madam Liu’s mourning hall was set up in the first courtyard.

Before even arriving, a thick, cloying scent of incense and candles rushed to meet her.

If there were someone within the Dragon Soul organization colluding with the Eastern invaders, it would be a matter of extreme danger.

“Do you think I won’t last the night?” Jiang Yao suddenly laughed, his dry, raspy voice sounding as if it emerged from the throat of an ancient man on the verge of death.

Karina and Liu Shiya both turned their heads, peering through the rear windshield. They spotted a Hummer following them about twenty or thirty meters behind. The tint on the Hummer’s front windshield was quite dark, making it impossible to see the driver.

A moment later, Master Dongxu, dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe, appeared in the bamboo grove. Upon seeing the old Taoist, he performed an astonishing gesture—his knees buckled, and he knelt before the old man.

Jiang Yao was busy regulating the blood and qi in his body and had no time to reply. Once Ling Sixue regained her composure, her mental pressure intensified, causing his bones to creak; he could not even manifest his protective aura.

Suddenly, a gust of eerie wind swept through, and the Ox-Head and Horse-Face guardians, the Judge of Life and Death, and the ghost on horseback all vanished.

“You... if you dare kill me, the Kunlun Sect will never let this rest!” Seeing Yue Ying guiding the flying sword to press tightly against his throat, Li Baiyi felt a surge of panic, threatening with a show of bravado.

When shopping, two things are most frustrating: one is having no money in your pocket while your favorite items appear before you everywhere; the other is the exact opposite—having money to spend, but finding the goods nowhere to be found.

Seeing me flinch, Kang Linlin’s eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light. The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she extended her index finger to beckon me.

He could not help but begin to doubt his sense of direction, wondering if the shift in the hexagrams and the movement of the Nine Palaces had altered the terrain, causing him to lose his way.

Just as Lu Lin was turning back, he decided he didn't want to go to the Shenlian Guild anymore, as the Shenlian village was also only a Level 1 settlement and likely no better than the Dynasty village. But just as he lifted his foot, a figure suddenly rushed toward him, and in the next instant, his face was buried deep between two soft mounds.

“Since he is known as the Sage Emperor of Strategy, he should have such capabilities,” Jade Princess said, sounding uncertain.

He hadn't expected the other party to be online, but as soon as Liu Yunfei sent the message, it was accepted immediately.

“Brother Tian Yi, you have finally returned! We succeeded!” Scarface exclaimed with excitement.

Connected to the swamp was a vast forest, and on the other side of that forest lay the path leading up to the mountain range.

Several mages were circling the symbols outside the palace, while the others followed along, either helping out or killing time. Only Lu Lin had brought out a chair and a parasol, enjoying a sunbath in the scorching desert, occasionally letting out sounds of comfort that made Shenlian Zhantian and the others grit their teeth in hatred.

Unfortunately, such simple attacks were too weak against players; various crowd-control skills could easily cripple them.

Liu Yunfei bid him farewell and continued to wander the ship. He discovered that unexpectedly gaining the friendship of the Black Gold Air Pirate Group had extraordinary benefits. Once his reputation with this faction reached Exalted, he could purchase large combat airships directly here! He could even hire their members to run errands for him.

Hearing this, the old rogue hurriedly picked her up and headed toward the bedroom, causing Zhang Baoxiu’s chest to heave rhythmically.

The aggro of the Shadow Knight Nalanweier finally shifted to Iron Hand, and Lu Lin exhaled in relief, walking to the side and plopping down onto the ornate floor to pull out potions and frantically restore his health and mana.
