Volume 1, Chapter 38: The Mountain Torrent Style, Shocking the Entire Arena

Upon entering the Yonghe Palace, a thick, pungent scent of medicinal herbs assailed the nostrils. By the time one reached Consort De’s bedchamber, an aura of impending death permeated the entire room.

Watching the ongoing battle, Xuanyuan Tian felt a profound exhaustion settle into his bones as he looked upon the current state of the Xuanyuan family. He felt an urgent impulse to rest, yet he could not; should he falter, the entire family would fall into the hands of treacherous villains. He could never have imagined that even a prestigious, premier clan could not escape such a fate.

Had the impression not been so deep, she would likely have missed the house tucked away at the corner. This concrete path was built very long, stretching toward an unknown destination.

It recognized her; the wound on its neck had been bitten by her dragon, and the reason it now found itself in such a sorry state was entirely because of her.

Seeing Qin Yi’s call, the baby dragon immediately scampered over on its short legs. With a "whoosh," it leaped into Qin Yi’s arms, rubbing against his chest in a fawning manner, appearing exceptionally intimate.

With a loud boom, the pink dragon’s face turned completely red. He glared at Huo Tong, remaining silent for a long time.

Gu Ming took the building blocks and sat down on the floor, joining him in stacking them. To be honest, compared to the mercurial and precociously lively Ye Chuyang, he truly felt more at ease in the company of Ye Rongyang.

Long Anguo had originally harbored suspicions about submitting to Xiang Yu, but a single remark from Cao Jiu dispelled his doubts.

"Senior Huang, do you know my parents? Who were they? What happened to them? Please, tell me." Seeing that Huang remained silent, Huo Tong could not help but ask.

Moreover, he could see that the old man had not yet fully exerted his strength. It seemed he was preparing to get serious; that move was, indeed, about to come.

Yang Huairen had brought Dazhuang into the palace today, having long anticipated that the scar on Dazhuang’s body would be the key factor.

Li Feng’s silhouette appeared abruptly, his right index finger tracing a shape in the void, and a colorless stream of energy drilled into Xiao Lie’s brow.

Therefore, once she knew and confirmed whose names had appeared on the Loom of Fate, and realized that Sloan had been manipulating the kill list for all these years, she would kill everyone—herself included—without hesitation, even if her own name appeared on the fabric of the Loom!

As time ticked by, the sky above the Cloud City suddenly grew heavy with dark clouds, and the entire city was enveloped in a thick, murderous intent.

By the side of Cloud Lake, a lush, verdant bamboo house stood quietly on the shore. Li Feng was overjoyed and hurried inside. He saw that the room was bright and clean, elegant and simple—a distinct change of pace compared to the opulent grandeur of the Great Council Hall.

In the current situation, acting alone was the most convenient and safe approach; having many people would only make it harder to handle sudden contingencies.

Time slipped away second by second. Ji Qianliu gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anxiety, yet he dared not show it.

Yun Qing hurriedly took a few Fire-Enhancing Pills from his robes and swallowed them. These pills were similar to the Yi Shui Pill that Daoist Canghuo had once given to Chu Yun, capable of restoring only one type of internal energy, yet they were far more effective. Being a unique pill of the Yun family, his internal energy quickly returned to half strength after consumption.

The relationship between the eldest sister and the Marquis of Champions was truly a tangled web that defied resolution. Could it be, as she said, that she intended to hide the truth from the Marquis for the rest of her life?

"Busy? Man'er, you don't have to handle everything yourself. I have so many subordinates; you may dispatch them as you please. If any of them dares to utter a single word of dissent, I will..." Du Lingshan said generously, looking as though he would gladly offer the Heavenly Fiend Sect to Chu Yu’man as a gift.

"Three seniors, I leave it to you." After briefly summarizing the requirements of the Old Man of God’s Divination, Xiao Yang stood up with a grave expression and walked a few steps to the side.

The so-called increase in difficulty caused by changing the plot was simply because the Reincarnators had altered the grand trends of the world, thereby attracting the attention of the world’s consciousness.

Mama Tian picked up another piece of silk, on which was painted a young man with rather peculiar features. She frowned and tossed the silk directly into a wooden bucket.

Seeing his expression, Wang Lingsong grew anxious. "Brother, you know that Man'er and we are old acquaintances. If you know where she is, just tell us. I believe Man'er will be very happy to see us." Wang Lingsong was already impatient to depart.

"Didn't you drop a level and have your gear looted? I was wondering who was so badass to kill you. Just based on 'Lone Sail on a Distant Shadow'?" Zhu Tian said.

Another month passed. Feng Xue’s mental world became increasingly stable, and his soul grew ever more powerful. Although he still could not sense where his soul of destiny resided, he was already able to command his primordial spirit as easily as his own limbs.

At this moment, seeing that Li Longze had actually discovered him, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, yet he also seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

In the hands of the Sword Saint, although it could not be compared to when it was in the hands of Fuxi, the Heavenly Sword’s power caused the falling meteorites in the sky to be instantly destroyed. Even the eye of the Falling Rock Formation was shattered, and the rocks that were supposed to regenerate endlessly as long as there was spiritual energy could no longer be recreated.

Looking at the sky not far away, Mao Yu was filled with excitement. The sky of freedom was beckoning to him; as long as he suppressed his strength to an average level, he believed that even that demon would find it hard to detect him.
