Chapter 38: Your Name Is Ominous

"Has this spoiled heir of the Chang family really apologized?"
"Nonsense, what else could he do? Boss Han is playing for keeps with him."
"By the way, what's that kid's background? I've never seen him before."

The snippets of conversation reached Chang Rui’s ears. Each word was magnified in his mind, adding fuel to the fire of his rage.

"Let’s go!" With those words, Chang Rui...

"Destroy it completely. I want Xixi Bar brought to its knees." Yan Feitian wanted exactly this result; the more he saw others fall, the happier he felt. He waited for the moment they would be forced to beg him, for only then could he truly rule over everything.

"Nianzu is here too? What happened to him?" Lei Tingting’s expression was complex, a failed attempt to suppress her surprise.

After checking her makeup in the mirror, Jiang Yixin stepped onto the scene in a stylish outfit. Watching from the sidelines, Cen Kexin had to admit her acting was quite good.

She had hoped this would put some pressure on Wei Yefeng, forcing him to acknowledge her existence and the events of that night. Instead, it had only infuriated him; he forbade her from attending tomorrow’s banquet and booked a flight for her to leave immediately.

Those in the Lower Realm were not so fortunate. A God Sovereign could not be found anywhere in the entire realm. Without breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor level, one would never be able to reach the peak of a God Sovereign in this life or any other.

Li Zixiao patted his chest, finally feeling relieved. Without waiting for Ji Ruobing to ask, he explained Zhou Tongtong’s situation, mentioning Li Jinwang along the way. He should have kept quiet—once he said it, Ji Ruobing was having none of it.

The room was decorated in a simple, rustic style, exuding a strong earthy charm. Three stools were neatly arranged inside; clearly, it had once been a home for three.

Luo Caiyu had seen Lin Han’s movement, but her reaction was a beat too slow. It was only after Lin Han retreated that she felt her fingers trembling, and she hurriedly pulled them back.

I still remember the dreams of my past life. They have always lived in my heart, impossible to sever, difficult to forget.

The local people had long heard of Zhuge Liang’s reputation for governing his troops, and having received his famine relief, they were filled with gratitude. Leading the old and the young, they lined the path to watch the army march, burning incense and bowing in reverence. Zhuge Liang comforted them all, frequently socialized with local officials to build rapport, and won over the hearts of the people.

Furthermore, Kaluosi did not yet know that Wei Yang wanted to get close to the God of Sealing. He figured such a grand gathering would surely attract that art-loving deity. Wei Yang did not know that the exchange conference was being held within the Divine Realm of Sealing, but he agreed without a moment’s hesitation.

"I understand, Uncle Lan." Liang Chen nodded slowly, then got out of the car and walked into the county committee office building.

The pale-faced youth screamed and fell to the ground, glaring at Aochen with tears welling in his eyes.

Long Zhiyan’s feigned arrogance was caught by Dong Yinan and Li Qiguang, who burst into frantic laughter the moment he turned his back.

Mou Yilin dashed forward, reaching the hospital room door in an instant. Just as his fingers touched the handle, he heard a sharp whistling sound behind him. With a thud, a dagger embedded itself three inches into the door. Mou Yilin slammed the door open, his eyes landing on a man’s figure on the windowsill.

After one passed, Wei Yang finally emerged. Watching the direction the two had left in, he suddenly leaped in the opposite direction of the camp, targeting the one who had fled.

Stepping out of the command tent, Ling Feng nodded slightly at Tulong, then looked up at the sky. The originally pitch-black rift now had copper-red edges, and the red color spread from the sides, seemingly boundless, like a vast curtain cast wide.

Hades strode through the city gate. After a moment’s thought, he looked back at the Doomsday Guardian. Could there be good people in the Abyss?

Like peeling the husk of a bamboo shoot, the insect swarm dwindled rapidly under the assault of Jisan and hundreds of thousands of mechs.

Six types of energy locked onto Zhou Geng, bombarding him simultaneously. He hurriedly grabbed Wujing from the ground and held him as a shield, betting that these people wouldn't dare strike at their own companion.

Puhua Tianzun felt he had been lured into a massive trap orchestrated by the Jade Emperor and plotted by all the immortals. He had happily encouraged innovation, only to create a "thunder" that nearly blew up his own department.

Snoopy jumped up and pinned the green bean with one paw: "Woof..." Did you eat the butterfly orchid?

"Then what do you suggest? There is a time limit on the court’s arrest warrant for the invasion. If we don’t capture Fan Ji by the deadline, my godfather's life will be at risk," Tu Rong said anxiously.

Ever since entering the wedding ceremony, Zhangdu Zi had been sweating profusely, his heart pounding in fear that Zhou Geng might suddenly turn around and wipe them all out.

"I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it... This must be an illusion!" Jin Ba could not accept the truth. He roared in madness, the intense emotion causing blood to spray from the glowing wounds in his body like a fountain that wouldn't stop.

Even with Lu Li’s iron-willed temperament, he felt uneasy, though that was simply because he disliked the stiff atmosphere.

Eight-Palm Technique, a green-tier spirit skill, was the secret legacy of the ancient Qingyuan family. With all eight palms combined, it was invincible.

Come to think of it, that guy had his own matters to attend to and couldn't spare the attention, which was why he had temporarily given him an opening.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Before Shen Muxiang could speak, her younger brother Shen Chuangu had already shouted out loud.

"Furthermore," Tian Ji continued, "The Battle of Acheng greatly damaged the late King’s reputation and dealt a blow to his legacy. Therefore, the State of Wei must offer a precious artifact to be buried with the late King, to console his spirit in heaven."

Huang Tianjue had intended to keep Luo Linyuan for the banquet, to discuss the matter of "favors" along the way.

By the time Shen Muxiang arrived, Yan Li and Chen Ying were busy, and even Shi Qing was busy introducing items to customers, leaving no time to attend to them.

Looking back at Paimon and Li, who were protected in the center by Klee and Qiqi, the two finally felt relieved.

He had become an apprentice under mysterious circumstances, and his master did nothing but set him up—this kind of life made him feel like he had nothing to live for.

Moreover, when Wu Jiayi confessed, she explicitly stated that if he rejected her, she would never "pester" him again.

This was a critical piece of evidence to prove Liu Yu’s achievements. Besides, perhaps Xie Xuan needed this as well.

Some stepped forward to strike up a conversation, but they received no response from Wang Gong, and were silenced by a single cold glare.

Bai Ying and Yin Yirong were recovering from their injuries in the cabin, and they curiously poked their heads out to see what was happening.

During this time, the others were also engaged in a bloody battle. Gong Ningxiang, Lei Jiaxian, Ji Changqin, Gongshu Lan, the Fire Court of the Sui Clan, Tatai of the Dragon Clan, Si Qi of the Beast Clan, and Hammurabi, a half-breed of the Haiyuan Clan and human, were fighting with all their might against the immortal and armored undead armies.

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Yang Mo arrived at Ye Hua’s mourning hall and stood before Ye Zhuang.

"Damn it! They’ve all been bewitched!!!" After an anxious shout, the Daoist energy in Liu Lingzhu’s body gathered in her hands, intending to use force to snap them out of it.
