Chapter 144: The Necropolis

Everything was truly terrifying. It turned out the mistress had long anticipated that one day her grand tomb would be plundered, which was why she had set up layers of lethal mechanisms.

Witnessing the scene before him, Kang Jiao’s eyes widened, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Excellent! This is exactly as I had calculated. At this location, it is far from being as simple as just burying one person. Everyone is here..."

Suddenly, almost all the True Immortals collided with the invisible barrier, bumping into it until they were bruised and battered. Only a few who were slower to react were spared, such as the True Immortal "Chong," who had been hoping to scavenge, and some lower-ranked immortal array masters.

"Big sister, have some, it's delicious." Yi Yan held up the candied hawthorn in her hand, the excitement in her eyes showing how happy she was.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the eighteenth day of the seventh lunar month in the fifth year of the Yongzheng reign. It was an auspicious day, the very day the Emperor’s fourth son was to marry his primary consort, and also the day Nalan was to be wed.

"Fine! I’ll accompany you to the hospital," Chu Haoxuan answered decisively. His mood inexplicably brightened, and the dark cloud in his heart dissipated.

"With whom?" Hearing her say this, Qin Shijin subconsciously understood that she couldn't be with a client; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked him to come over.

"Distance and mystery are the most beautiful things. You should send them messages every day, tell them the latest and most legendary things you encounter, and share your experiences with them. By the time you return, they will surely worship you like myths! Haha!" Yu Haoyang said with a hearty laugh, sweeping away the sorrow and melancholy of parting.

"He retreated decisively; Liu Zhang has fallen," Ma Dai, in the bottom lane, also remarked. At the same time, looking at Liu Feng’s computer screen, a white light could be seen descending on the enemy’s first tower; there was no need to say it was Liu Zhang coming to support.

The male commentator kept talking incessantly. Most of the audience in the stadium had their attention fixed on the screen, but they were also listening to what the commentator had to say.

An Tie’er scrambled up, gritted her teeth, and decided to risk it all. Death was inevitable whether she spoke or not, so she might as well follow the words of that bastard Yu Haoyang; perhaps she could actually escape this disaster.

Li Dian and Meng Huo tentatively placed a detection ward on the high ground of the opposite riverbank, which immediately cleared one of their own vision wards. As a result, they now lacked vision in that area.

However, how far they could go without letting the Howard family turn their wrath upon the Star Glory Mercenary Group was something that Grinton and Britney needed to consider.

Holding the Cangling Staff and riding the Fire Qilin, Chuxue agilely dodged the vine whip attacks of the Demon Soul Tree time and time again.

Seeing that the situation had turned dire, Xie Junhe leaped up, caught up to Zhaolin, and pushed him aside. Zhaolin stumbled, and the sword in his hand let out a crisp "clack" as it snapped in two! With a "bang," Xie Junhe felt the sword sheath in his hand tremble violently before it disintegrated into countless cracks. Even the broken blade was nearly twisted apart.

"Of course not." Zijun lowered her head, smiling shyly—she had long since learned his ways. She always listened to him speaking with great animation, gazing foolishly at his spirited appearance. How could this tiny place of Wangjiang Terrace contain his heart?

"This is not a game!" Xie Junhe roared. He couldn't even begin to imagine how many people in the martial arts world would be terrified by his decision.

Following that, a dozen black sedans sped past in a rush. Behind them, four black sedans arranged in a diamond formation tightly surrounded a single white sedan. The five cars drove with equal ferocity, with another dozen sedans trailing behind.

Li Yan’s relationship with the Elven race was already this close, yet there were still people looking to cause trouble for him. If someone were to issue a challenge to them as well, what should they do? Should they accept or decline?

As soon as the members of the Star Glory Mercenary Group changed their fighting style, the situation on the field shifted instantly. The Fire-Eyed Giant Ape, which had previously only been at a slight disadvantage, immediately showed clear signs of defeat.
