25 Chapter 25

Hao Tianming walked up to Murong Moqing with a grin and placed a hand on her shoulder. Murong Moqing initially tried to resist, but she gave up after he whispered something into her ear.

The four of them deliberated throughout the night and decided that Zhu Kaiyang would remain behind to guard the megalithic formation. Should Gordon arrive, he was under no circumstances to let him notice anything, and he was to immediately release a carrier pigeon back to the mountain to report. The other three would set out to track Gordon down.

As if struck by a violent, invisible sonic wave, the elite cow warrior suffered severe trauma to its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, with trickles of steaming blood beginning to spread.

"Look at that fresh, tender appearance of yours; you must still be a virgin!" The man rubbed his palms together, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Brother Zha Cheng has already apologized. Don't push your luck!" Digouyou pointed at Lin Mufeng and shouted angrily.

With a splash, Li Yihang fell into the river and vanished instantly. Gordon watched for a moment, let out a hearty laugh, and turned to see two pretty maidens weeping on the deck; he couldn't help but walk over to tease them.

Zhang Erhu, however, remained uneasy and insisted on escorting Gu Zheng to the long street near the Cen residence. Since the long alley where the Cen family servants lived was adjacent to this street, and the residence lay just beyond that, the two streets were separated by only a few steps.

Nangong Boyi had been playing military chess with Lin Yuefan, while Su Molun remained in his usual habit, listening to his headphones and playing his own games.

Her gaze shifted from curiosity to certainty. Meanwhile, Xiao Yuheng also noticed someone staring at him.

The Sea King’s group sat at a nearby table. My internal anger grew, and my second uncle stepped on my foot under the table.

"Let’s go. You haven't eaten yet, and I have to go back to continue getting my nutrition..." I shrugged and made a lighthearted remark. She smiled but said nothing.

"So that’s how it is..." Tang Xichuan glanced at Shen Guanguan before him. A flicker of disappointment crossed his eyes, but he quickly lowered his head, concealing it.

Xue Qinglian instructed everyone to split up and search for an exit. Thus, we began to search slowly through the tomb chamber.

When these people saw nearly a hundred white snakes radiating a bone-chilling cold, they were instantly thrown into a panic.

Was it settled? No wonder Zhong Shu stopped following me and went back. Zhong Tao needed to be buried, and there was a mountain of work to attend to; she couldn't possibly follow me to the countryside.

"Whose territory are we heading to next?" Kang Ba asked politely, his attitude and tone having clearly shifted.

In just a short while, Xia Xiaohui's urn was unearthed. I walked over, retrieved it, and placed it on the ground.

"By the way, if the manager mentions compensation later, just agree to it. Don't make things difficult for the hotel," I said tentatively.

"My lord says the Prince's conditions are too harsh to accept in full!" Zhang Hong shook his head.

Under normal circumstances, Ji Yi would have already scampered over to Princess Gufeng’s side, but for some reason, he now wanted to pretend he knew nothing. In any case, since everyone was hiding their presence, pretending to be ignorant was perfectly fine.

Human strength has its limits. No matter how skilled Wang Ning was at light-body techniques, he could not outrun a galloping steed.

"Hmph! Enough talk. Rebel Zhang Liao, surrender your life!" Lu Bu swung his Halberd of the Heavenly Heavens and spurred his horse directly toward Zhang Liao and Zhao Feng.

"It is like this." Yu Luo coughed softly, adjusted the carriage curtain, and lowered her voice further, fearful that the driver might overhear.

Scolded by the old man, Lin Huaqing felt a headache coming on. He had already explained the situation, and he couldn't fathom how Yu Han had managed to convince the old man to come in person.

Yet, this person was undoubtedly powerful, for it took ten sages to invite him, after which the eleven of them plotted the fate of the world in a sacred land, and the matter they discussed was ultimately successful.

There was no time to delay now. The Yin energy from the corpses within was too strong; the coffin lid outside was already covered in moss. Could the little bit of black dog blood I had splashed really be enough?

***

Zhao Yi’s first reaction was confusion. He couldn't grasp why Zhao Feng had summoned them all. Could it be that they had committed some error?

Although Qiu Shuihan did not command the same influence as Qin Rumeng—who could navigate both the underworld and the establishment, and to whom everyone in China had to show some respect—she was not to be trifled with either.

Chen Yi stood up, wanting to say something, but ultimately held his tongue and walked silently downward.

In the distance, the youth nodded in deep agreement, only to be instantly rewarded with two sharp raps on the head from the old man beside him.

Rounding a corner, they indeed discovered a group of mysterious figures—five in total, all clad in black robes. Su Yang gestured for them to stop, hiding their presence to observe from the shadows.

Dazzling spiritual light flashed repeatedly between the two, and the constant clashing of their flying swords produced thunderous roars. Peerless spiritual power stirred up countless shockwaves, and for a time, they remained evenly matched.

Suddenly hearing Feng Yuerong’s voice behind her, Lanxin shuddered, and the withered grass in her hand nearly fell to the ground.

His words met with no response. He tried to open the bathroom door, hoping for a romantic bath together, only to find it locked from the inside. Veins of frustration throbbed on his forehead.

I hurriedly looked at Wu Xuan. Sure enough, her expression was grim. Since the driver was unaware of the situation, Wu Xuan couldn't very well lose her temper, so she simply kept her head down in silence.

Zuo Jun glanced at the IOU in his hand, applied a slight pressure with his fingertips, and the paper crumbled into ash.

Starting from his feet, sharp pains radiated throughout his body. As the sea of blood rose to submerge him, his skeletal remains were exposed, as if some demon within the blood sea were relentlessly devouring him.
