Volume 1, Chapter 37: I Am Quite at Ease

Ximen Chuifeng was lost in an indulgent reverie when his subordinate interrupted his train of thought. Enraged, he didn't care for the reason behind the intrusion; he simply walked over and kicked the man.

Outside the ward, Yin Yi watched Zhang Xueru undergoing various instrument checks. His eyes were fixed intently on the anti-allergy medication suspended in the air, his sharp gaze scanning the bizarre equipment.

The Scourge Legion’s gathering and assault had been signaled for at least a minute. How was that not enough time for him to resupply in advance? Did he really have to wait until they were at his doorstep to leisurely retreat to the Fountain of Life?

Just after the Dragon Knight General’s beam of white light was neutralized, a jeer emanated from behind that white shield.

Even if Zhao Dingguo’s final Arcane Arrow had failed to kill Invoker, Clockwerk would have still been able to claim the kill.

The man spoke tremblingly, though a flash of excitement crossed his eyes when he mentioned Murakami Shoryu and Yamata no Orochi.

"It’s fine, continue monitoring them." Yin Yi did not want to repeat his previous mistake of underestimating the enemy; suffocating all potential threats in the cradle was the safest course of action.

The aura of the three men canceled each other out, yet it inevitably caused discomfort for the ordinary experts nearby. Aoyu’s side held up relatively well, but the elites of the Ximen family were drenched in cold sweat, staring in terror at the four figures in the sky.

Old Li’s conclusion shocked Old Wang and Old Ma. Their eyes locked onto the calmly seated Zhong Nan, lingering for quite a while before shifting away.

The Dragon Knight General ascended into the sky with his Heavenly Soldiers, and Tang Wanqing, whom they had captured, vanished along with them, disappearing from Yuan Da’s sight as a beam of white light.

Liang Zhenzhen was a bit bewildered. She doubted the phone could even make calls; the idea of Chen Tianhao manufacturing his own mobile phone felt like a joke.

Due to time constraints, he had intended to buy a property here, but since nothing suitable was available immediately, he rented one for them to stay in for the time being.

By the end of December, the landscape for the 2017 Spring Festival film season had become completely clear, with virtually all films planning to release during that period having announced their dates.

"We understand. Even if we have to risk our lives, we will bring traditional medicine to the world!" Liu Zhi declared loudly.

Following a gesture from the host, the two people on stage moved rapidly. Unlike the previous matches, they showed no signs of hesitation, clashing almost instantaneously.

Bai Yaxin felt herself being pulled into an embrace. Turning her head, she saw it was Qian Bin. Despite the intense grief in her heart, she recognized the lecherous look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking, which filled her with fury.

"Welcome to the Museum of Alien Biological Specimens." The male staff member made a gesture of invitation, his face wearing a smile tinged with pride.

The two received their orders and left the palace. Without a moment's delay, they exited Zhaoge City and headed straight for Shang Rong’s estate outside the city walls.

Consequently, those with broad connections were busy inquiring about the content of Wang Naijie’s new play, hoping to gather as much information as possible, as being prepared early always offered an advantage.

This left Dugu Feng feeling very strange. When Xu Qian’s palm struck, it felt searingly hot, yet when his hand made contact, it felt icy cold.

Xie Xian: "That rule is fine. I originally wanted to go play, but unfortunately, I had other matters to attend to and couldn't participate."

Jiang Feng was speechless. Seeing Ilis looking at the Tyrant’s Kill List, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he looked at her in surprise.

Qin Zhao, who had been sitting on the road without realizing it, noticed that the sky had brightened at some point. He stood up and stretched his body.

Reincarnation City had been ruled by three generations of lords. The first lord lived for over six hundred years, making him the longest-reigning ruler. After his death, the second lord ascended, and he too lived for nearly three hundred years.

However, as they turned to leave, having taken only a single step, a loud boom echoed. The exit was blocked by a massive boulder. The stone began to glow, and arrays of runes appeared, connecting to the entire stone room.

Old Master Gao, dressed in loose martial arts attire, stood in the courtyard overlooking the mountain scenery. He listened quietly to his phone, a conspiratorial smile playing on his face.

His physical body had reached its weight-bearing limit. Golden, web-like lines appeared on his skin, as if he were about to collapse from within.

"Ah Ren, what do you think of the offer just now?" Inside the hall, Xuan Yuanhong brought up the terms again: pills, split sixty-forty.

Once Jiang Huaren finished speaking, a jade tiger tooth appeared before him. The tooth was inscribed with runes—it was the Spirit-Sealing Array. Jiang Huaren held the tooth in his hand and carved another formation onto it, only then feeling at ease.

"Haha, I’ve lowered myself to call you, so just be content. If it weren't for my dad urging me so much... sigh, I guess this is the only way." Zhang Zihan, feeling indignant, had called Qin Zhao just like that.

"Wait, Zifeng, do you still dare to give me the time of an incense stick?" Lu Yue was poking at a sore spot. Back at the Saint Capital Academy, Zifeng had been severely wounded by Lu Yue due to carelessness. Now that his scar was being reopened, how could this end easily?

In the center of the green belt lay a massive mirror. Of course, this was not a mirror in the conventional sense, yet in its clarity and reflectivity, it was no less impressive than the real thing. For in the center of the green circle was a lake as clear as a mirror.

"Xia Yu Mujigen, my brother, well done!" Gaerdi praised him with a thumbs-up, and Father Lalo was also grinning from ear to ear.

Not long after the loud boom, two pale blue shadows in the night sky collided fiercely. The violent energy explosion caused ripples to spread through the air.

If time could turn back ten days, he would have accepted Xiao Yao’s request without hesitation. He certainly would not have let his arrogance and sense of status prevent him from saving the "brother" who had spared his life.

With that, the Blood Demon tossed the orb of blood high into the air, where it transformed into a red cape that draped over his back. By now, the battle between the Blood Shadow and Mingyue was drawing to a close. Exhausted from their endurance match, both had suffered heavy losses; Mingyue’s form had dimmed to the point of invisibility, and the Blood Shadow, too, looked listless, striking out at Mingyue with failing strength.

Feng Dao felt flattered, yet he knew that he had to seize this opportunity, as it would be the turning point that changed his life forever.

He extended his right hand, gripped the iron ring firmly, and twisted it hard to the left. With a sharp *click*, the black iron door shuddered violently before slowly parting from the center, revealing a passage only wide enough for two people to walk through side by side.
