Chapter 36: Abducted by a Demonic Cultivator?

Never mind. I’ll know once I go over and take a look.

She walked up to the egg, bit her finger, and dripped a drop of blood onto its emerald-green shell. With a sharp crack, a fissure appeared across the shell.

The sound startled Jiang Wan. She certainly was not going to compensate for it.

Fortunately, it had only split open slightly and showed no further reaction. She hurriedly placed the egg inside her Spirit-Nurturing Ring.

[You slaughtered the Azure Dragon clan, bringing their scattered bloodline to an end. This time, you traversed the myriad heavens and worlds, searching countless minor worlds for the final drop of dragon blood—

A trace of mockery flashed through Jiang Yun’s eyes. The bone blade in his hand suddenly became cloaked in terrifying flames, striking down upon a long, gray river.

In theory, the second batch of players was three times larger than the first. There should not have been so few players arriving in Qingfeng City.

The doctors and nurses were tending to the severely wounded, helping them drink rice porridge, meat broth, and thin gruel. As for those with minor injuries, anyone whose hands were unharmed ate their porridge on their own and occasionally had a mouthful of meat broth. There was no choice—the broth was too scarce, and most of it had to be reserved to ensure the nutrition of the seriously wounded, as well as the doctors and nurses.

After sobbing for a while, Yu Zi sniffled and wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve. Then she squatted down, scooped up some mud, spread it evenly across her palm, and smeared it over her face, neck, hands, and feet.

This retreat had lasted only two or three days, yet Jiang Xue had advanced by leaps and bounds. Not only had she repeatedly broken through the ninth level of the Dragon Vein Realm and overcome the barrier to the Dragon Bone Realm, she had also obtained the Netherworld Naihe Pearl. On top of that, she had gained possession of the Sky Python, the ancestor of all serpents and one of the Four Great Feral Beasts. Her strength had undergone an almost earth-shattering transformation.

Within the Cult of the Gu God, a Phantom Spirit Butterfly hovered silently in a corner above the great hall, taking in everything below.

Thus, she stepped down from the stone platform, took everyone by the hand, and patiently showed them how to form a queue. As Yu Zi did so, her face was bright with smiles and her voice clear and musical; in her eyes shone the quick intelligence and liveliness unique to the nobility. Before long, the seven or eight people at the front began lining up according to her instructions.

If I had known things would turn out this way, I would never have been so blunt about exposing Zhang Yuan’s intentions just now. I should not have cut off our retreat like that.

At this moment, the Iron Battle Demon Lord would never dare say that the Giant Blade Demon Lord intended to mobilize more troops for the defense. If he did, he truly could not guarantee that he would still be alive by the time the Demon King Poxun finished hearing him out.

The Great God Amaterasu flew into a rage, drew the long sword at her waist, and seemed to transform into a blazing sun as she slashed toward Gale.

Naya had lived in Floating Township for more than a decade and knew better than anyone how precious soil was to the settlement.

Li Shiren saw what had happened over there, shame spreading across his face. He had never expected to run into Guo Zeqiang and He Jiali in a place like this.

Zhou Shichang, however, was deeply worried. The incident in which a hundred transforming soul beasts had gathered and attacked the Green Halberd Tower had left too deep an impression on him.

His pace was neither hurried nor slow. Even with powerful enemies surrounding him on every side, his composure was nothing short of remarkable.

“No.” I could hardly think of a better plan than Han Dong’s, but the most important person in Han Dong’s plan—my mother—was already dead. Was the next step for me to go to Moon City for a crash course? That was practically impossible.

Wang Tian did not follow Lu Fei this time. His seniority was still far too low, and there was no need for him to join in on such a spectacle.

It was not that Fang Ziyu lacked ambition and only wanted to play games. Rather, given the circumstances, a full-dive virtual reality game pod seemed to be the choice best suited to him.

Everyone began whispering among themselves. Those who were able to sit here and take part in the meeting were not lacking in intelligence; they immediately understood what Lu Fei meant.

Setting aside how dangerous and terrifying the Moyue Forest of Tiannan Star was, just consider the people taking part in this struggle to seize the Butterfly Crystal Clam.

“It’s not early anymore. One more bag and we’ll be ready. Isn’t it always like this? If you arrive late, don’t ask questions,” Old Gao said.

“Am I just overthinking it?” Sheng Jingheng asked in a low voice. His eyes remained fixed on her, unwilling to miss the slightest expression on her face, as though he intended to determine the truth from her words.
