Chapter 54

Hou Yin nodded faintly, entered the room on the other side of Donghua Yufan, and closed the door behind him.

Of course Yin Xiyao knew what method Mu An'an was referring to, so she remained silent, obediently following Mu An'an's instructions as she gripped the railing and leaned over the bank.

Much like countless nights in the past when children, afraid of the dark, lay in bed and told each other terrifying tales of imagination, only to dive headfirst beneath the covers for warmth.

The human realm's understanding of demonic beasts was largely that they were savagely brutal, obsessed with slaughter, and invariably fought to the death whenever a conflict arose. However, these perceptions were mostly forged through battles against that demonic realm located north of the Nether Sea.

Sheng Siyan cared not whether Brother Qiang regretted his actions or not. After apprehending the man, he left the rest to others and returned directly to the hospital.

The Twin Treasures were forged from immortal gold, specifically used by the Dragon Sovereign to mine immortal jade on Adamant Star. Immortal jade was one hundred thousand times harder than steel, and only these Twin Treasures could mine it.

As they stepped out of the conference room, a few employees who had been whispering together immediately fell silent upon seeing Lu Jingchuan and Wennuan. A few unyielding gazes still lingered fixedly on Wennuan's face.

Jiang Ziya, with his silver hair and beard, changed his hand seal, and the nine-section Dao whip flew out from the giant tripod beside him. Only then did Changsheng truly see the whip's appearance.

The miserly Zijin, upon hearing the Golden Tree Demon King's intent to chase them away, immediately grabbed the two wooden lumps and scurried into the cave in a flash.

In truth, Mu An'an was even more terrified than that invisible creature. Had he not previously encountered an "invisible" Muliuli, he was certain he would have bolted away at top speed long ago.

"You lose all your senses when you act infatuated." Huanyue usually wore a docile expression, but at this moment, her tongue was utterly merciless.

A gaze burning with provocation was cast upon Yan Boyue. Yan Boyue suddenly turned his head—possessing the same stubbornness, the same passion, the same unrelenting refusal to yield, and the same aggressive dominance. The two gazes collided, violently sparking invisible friction and mutually stinging each other's eyes.

Additionally, Gu Ruru had been his junior high school classmate and had dated him for two years during that time. They broke up later because Gu Ruru went abroad. Although it was a childish, game-like romance, it left a deep impression in Li Qing's heart. He had never spoken of this affection to anyone, not even his own family.

Xing Yufeng paused and swallowed the antidote. He Mu hurriedly poured him a cup of water to help him swallow it more smoothly.

"What method?" A second ago, Liu Mei was still heartbroken and saddened by Liu Feng's harsh words, but the next second, she felt as though she had found someone to lean on.

Under the joint "affectionate care" of their superiors, Qian and Jian not only received a two-month paid vacation but also a consolation payout no less than their total annual bonuses—a blessing in disguise, of sorts.

For some reason, despite having experienced marriage before, she felt a slight flutter of nervousness at this moment, and she somewhat despised her own demeanor.

If money became an issue later, it would be troublesome. To gather funds for him, his mother had staked everything, embezzling not only his father's money but also public funds. Fortunately, their pharmaceutical factory's business was doing reasonably well.

Kuishen had no idea what the two of them were talking about, but he faintly sensed that he seemed to have gotten himself into something—and it appeared to be a good thing.

Elder Zhu and Lin Feng both wore slightly displeasure-tinged expressions, yet they could say nothing. As fellow Foundation Establishment practitioners, Xiao He possessed exceptional talent, served as a prominent elite of the Law Enforcement Hall, and held actual power; they were simply incomparable to him.

The more humble and mild-mannered Zhang Zhenglu appeared, the more everyone would feel that he held absolute authority, disregarded court officials, and harbored disloyal intentions toward the emperor.

I circled around the Li family's residence and found nothing particularly unusual. According to common sense, if Elder Li was guarding a region, he should have built his house not far from the ominous site, or simply right on top of the great ominous land.

The disciples beneath them instantly broke into an uproar, wondering why the previously uncompromising Elder Li had suddenly become so utterly spineless.

Placed within the home, it would allow the entire room to condense a greater concentration of drifting ghostly energy, accelerating his cultivation speed.

Li Ming glanced left and right at the still gloomy sky and the frantically expanding earth and towering mountains. A grave expression flashed across his eyes, and then he once again steered the Gengyu Xuanguang Sword, transforming into a streak of light that shot forth and vanished instantly into the curtain of rain.

Even the most ordinary troops under Li Ming's command possessed the cultivation of ordinary third-rate martial artists and second-rate martial artists of the [Red Blood Skill]. Moreover, everyone was equipped with heavy armor, powerful firearms, and highly potent, easily mobile artillery... The sheer strength of their combat power was almost unimaginable.

A crimson tongue lolled out, saliva dripping periodically from its mouth, while its eyes gleamed with greedy and cunning intent. Its massive tail trailed behind it like a nimble, giant serpent. Though it made no grand movements, the space behind it fractured into dark, jagged cracks, as if the very fabric of space was being torn apart.

"With the bestowed sword in hand, I execute judgment!" Li Ziang uttered every word of Li Zicheng's reply from that day. Along with the words, he violently drew his precious sword and pointed it straight at Liu Xian.

"Wan'er, don't worry," Mei Wanli comforted Wan'er while pulling a medicinal pill from his garments.

All the materials had been refined into liquid form, and then Wang Hou proceeded to his next course of action.
