Chapter 22

She unfolded the veil, held it in both hands, and then tied it behind her head. It obscured most of her face, leaving only her eyes visible—enough for those familiar with her to recognize that she was Noble Consort Jin and no one else.

"I never imagined you were also a mage; that comes as quite a surprise to me." Xiao Yu leaned back against the plush, resilient sofa, watching Lilin—whose face was slightly flushed—with an enigmatic smile.

"Why have you all gathered here? As far as I know, within a radius of several hundred miles, there is nothing particularly remarkable other than the Juque Sect. Why would the Netherwater Sect, the Blazing Fire Sect, the Famous Sword Villa, and others appear here?" Zhou Dao voiced the doubt in his heart.

Beneath the mountains, the avatar of the Blood Monarch lurked ten thousand meters deep; atop the peaks, Alan sat firmly at the summit. No matter how biting the cold winds from the Far North Ice Plains became, they could never freeze this volcanic crater, which periodically spewed forth gusts of scorching magma and smoke.

Following that, another dark sword aura was unleashed. Instantly, damage numbers in the hundreds of thousands flew up, yet it still failed to secure the kill. These level 220 reinforced monsters likely possessed at least 300,000 health points.

The golden-rayed phalanx began to move forward at a steady pace. As it advanced, the surrounding Star Beasts were torn into fragments one after another.

If this were truly the case, why would someone like Hua Ye help him? Chen Yu pondered the possibilities in his heart. Judging by her demeanor, Hua Ye was clearly a successful individual and certainly would not be coveting his money. So, what was the real reason? Was it because he was handsome? However, Chen Yu did not consider himself more handsome than Gou Xiong.

"Hmph, seeking death." Zhou Dao let out a cold snort. His right hand darted out, gripping the wrist of the Poison Snake Gang leader. With a light squeeze—a crisp snap echoed, and the gang leader let out a groan of pain.

"Heh heh, Director Xie, you overstate the matter. I suspect the so-called purpose is simply to invite me over to watch television. Nothing more." The handsome young man replied with a smile.

Han Bing let out a great shout, which acted like a command. Seeing Han Bing transform into a streak of cold light and flee, all of the Han family's forces broke rank and scattered in retreat.

Tang Kuangye took a deep breath. Among these guardian families, only the Tang family had once provided support to the Leng family; otherwise, they had never gathered together.

Three fissures perfectly divided the three distinct colors on the Golden Core. Upon closer inspection, Xiao Mian’s Golden Core resembled a blooming three-colored spirit flower.

Whether this was merely a heated remark made in anger by Zhang Cuiyun or not, the threat was clear and terrifyingly potent, proving that Xia’s concerns were not without reason.

Duanmu Qi said no more and rushed directly to the edge of the sea of fire, where the powerful fire spirit energy was roiling and boiling.

Arriving at the center, the four looked at one another in silence, yet the atmosphere of violent rage grew increasingly intense.

The big shots did not often visit the underwater villa, and Paul could not be certain if Fox Wolf was hiding inside.

Huan Kong had made the same attempts, but whether it was in its initial "wind ball" form or after its surface had transformed into a viscous liquid, the results were highly unsatisfactory.

On February 14th, the apprentices returned, unable to wait any longer. Since there was no more theoretical knowledge to teach, they had to move on to practical objects. And that was where the problem arose.

After days of relentless flight, Guihai was utterly disheveled, and Hua Mancheng had long since lost his playboy appearance—his white robes were tattered, a corner of his golden hair crown had been knocked off, and even his Universe Fan was reduced to a single clean, white leaf, as if mocking Hua Mancheng’s destitution and incompetence.

Ichimaru Gin was the first to arrive before Xi Tianhuan, his Shinsou snapping out instantly, yet Xi Tianhuan’s figure, like the trackless wind, dissipated right before Lin Yi’s eyes.

Meng Xin Xianying: Grace Boots, Jump Stone, Level 3 Magic Resistance, Paper Soldiers, a Teleportation Talisman, and four Anti-Invisibility Lamps.

He wanted to open his mouth to salvage some of his image, but before he could say a single word, she angrily cut him off.

Di Renjie, upon hearing this, could not help but turn serious. He knew that if Ji Yun stopped him, it was certainly not without purpose, and that speaking to him was merely a pretext—the real intention was to have him relay the message to Du Rui.

Jiang Bai’s answer was like a thunderclap. Li Chengqian slumped into his seat, panicked and utterly bewildered.

"Just you wait!" Having been killed by Liu Feng three times in a row, Xia Jia spat out a malicious threat before clicking the surrender button.

Hearing these words from Zhuang Yawen, Lu Kai felt not a hint of shock; instead, he smiled.

Regardless of whether the enemy was out of their minds or had been kicked by a donkey, they had indeed crept up, and judging by the faint shadows, there were quite a few of them.

He recognized the man in black holding Su Yurong. Back when Chen Tian was besieged on the Heavenly Domain Star, he had been one of the most powerful enemies.

He was not coming back. This realization made the hand with which Xia Xinyun held her spoon tremble, though she tried her best to steady it.

Though her entire body ached, she felt refreshed. The bedding beneath her had clearly been changed. Zhang Zhu assumed this was all done by Nanny Gong, and the moment she saw her walk in, she could not help but blush.

The very air seemed to be cleaved apart; a gale began to rage, sand and stones flew, and the leaves rustled wildly.

"If you like it, shall Mommy buy it for you?" Her gentle tone left everyone present intoxicated by her enchanting voice. This soft side of Ye Qingyan radiated a unique maternal glow, something none of them had ever seen before.
