Volume 1 Chapter 64 Am I a Monster?

The Daoist priest held a bronze mirror, sweeping it across every corner of the room before brandishing a peach-wood sword and thrusting it into the empty air. In an instant, a smear of blood stained the tip of the wooden blade.

From the moment they appeared, Xiao Mubai’s gaze never left Xiao Nanxian. He and Xiao Moqing had arrived home one after the other, and no sooner had they stepped through the door than they heard the old master had flown into a rage and punished the eldest daughter-in-law with military staves.

Seeing Pei Shiyi remain silent, the man realized he had hit a wall. He scratched his scalp, withdrew his gaze with an awkward expression, and turned his full attention to the performance on the stage.

The elderly man was burning with desire to go down there immediately and investigate the truth of the matter, but several elders of the Azure Cloud Sect were currently soaking in the pool. If he descended now, the disturbances he created would undoubtedly be detected.

Why? What kind of earth-shattering conspiracy was hidden within all this? Could human nature truly be so base?

"Zier, do not let your anger flare. Given your status, if you were to associate with someone unworthy of you, I doubt your family would ever consent. Rather than ending up like that, it would be far better to sever ties from the very beginning." Facing Murong Zi’s freezing glare, Li Guang remained completely unperturbed, calmly voicing his perspective.

After struggling internally for a long time, Wang Tao gritted his teeth and made his decision. With those words, he simply leaned back against his chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

Long Tian’s voice echoed continuously, and without any discernible movement on his part, the figures of Meng Dieyi and the others slowly descended toward the summit of the mountain.

Since Austria was now entirely under the control of the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group, spreading the news proved remarkably effortless. It took barely half a day for the information to permeate the entire country.

Within this virtual arena, everyone was restricted to using the exact same warships, eliminating any disparity in fleet sizes.

Including the guards, everyone instinctively turned to look at that figure. Lan He’s eyes grew even more dazed the moment he caught sight of the newcomer.

Meanwhile, all the cultivators present sprang into action, with Xu Weihong and Mu Jianying, both in the late Foundation Establishment stage, launching the most ferocious attacks.

Inside the bronze mirror, a man stood proudly with an indomitable grand spirit and resolute eyes. Countless dao principles swirled around him, flowing like a rainbow river.

If one were to be caught head-on by this bronze-colored giant hand, even with Zhang Yuanhao’s pseudo-divine spiritual armor for protection and his peak-mastery Golden Armor Stone Skin mystic technique, escaping death would have been virtually impossible.

A blonde, blue-eyed foreign woman had suddenly appeared in Hua City. Operating as a hacker, she had also breached the security network of the Dream-Building TV office building—evidently, this Western woman was attempting to steal confidential files from Dream-Building TV.

In the firmament, nine hundred and ninety crystals fused into one, abruptly forming a massive mountain that settled atop the East Sea. It radiated fiery ripples that caused the surrounding seawater to evaporate, sending up billows of white steam.

Without hesitation, he descended, spreading his divine sense across a radius of a thousand miles. Fixing his gaze on a towering ancient tree, he walked toward it step by step.

In a flash, golden light filled the skies, accompanied by numerous phantoms of the divine Golden Crow clan. They encircled Ye Chen within a range of mountains, launching a ruthless and merciless onslaught. Every single feather of the crows was as sharp as a blade, possessing peerless keenness.

As the saying goes, the greatest hermits hide in the marketplace. The Joy String Sect setting up its lair within a mortal-populated city indeed served as an effective concealment strategy.

The Star-Splitting Saber stabbed directly into the adjacent stone wall. Grasping the weapon, the Marquis hung suspended from the wall. Glancing around, he noticed the surrounding stone surfaces were exceptionally smooth. Further down lay a stretch of darkness where he could not make out anything at all.

Once this talisman was activated, if caught completely off guard, even a powerhouse of the Calamity Law realm would likely fail to catch up in time.

"That scoundrel is utterly shameless! It tried to summon this old man over to its side, but I categorically refused and rebuked it severely!" The "big earthworm" wore an expression of righteous indignation.

"You can call me Gutian from now on." Gao Chong recalled his past life name, and for his coming-of-age ceremony, he intended to use Gutian as his style name.

"Of course it's true! When that day arrives, I will personally pay a visit to witness it myself!" Hu Guomin said heartily.

"Dinner is ready!" Silkworm Bean roared from outside, followed by the sound of everyone moving tables and chairs. The crowd grew lively and bustling as they chatted and laughed in the courtyard.

Luo Ping’s actions won their high praise and deep admiration. Now that they had arrived at Mount Buhu, provided they were given sufficient time to contact the young master of the Xuanwu clan and convey the matter of the Xuanwu King’s tortoise shell, the other party would undoubtedly lead powerful figures to rescue them.

Resentful as he was, he knew that Dongfang Lengyue, protected by Liu Yue, was not someone he could casually provoke. He could only plan to vent his grievances and fury on Pei Donglai, and he put it into action—calling in favors the previous night to investigate Pei Donglai's identity.

On this day, Uncle Fu drove a cart laden with goods right into Gao Chong’s courtyard. Gao Chong was just stepping out of the house to catch a breath of fresh air when he saw Uncle Fu enter.

Upon leaving the hospital, Zhong Lingyu did not utter a single word, walking alone to the side with an expressionless face. He had originally intended to support Su Yuan, but the moment he touched her, she shrank away as if struck by an electric shock. She stubbornly refused his support even after he bought her a crutch, treating him as though he were as terrifying as a scorpion or a snake.

"I think... I think we should just call Muyun back too!" Chen Feng felt somewhat embarrassed. It was their first formal meeting, yet things had turned out this way, so he wanted to slip away. But unexpectedly, Tie Rui took the initiative at that moment. "I'll go with you!" With those words, she actually stood up and walked over to Chen Feng's side.

They saw the space twist slightly, slowly rippling with delicate waves. A handsome and imposing man in purple robes stepped out on a flying sword, hovering in the sky ten meters away from the Wolf King with a cold expression.

On second thought, this was specially brewed by Imperial Concubine Jin, and moreover, she had waited for him through the freezing winter. He could not let her thoughtful gesture go to waste.
