Chapter 135: Taking the Initiative

An hour later, drenched in sweat, Hu Mengdie lay in Cao Bin’s embrace. Only then did she have the time to inquire in more detail.

“Was that information just now from Gu Ruyu?”

Cao Bin nodded. “According to what he said, since the other side has three or four vehicles, there must be quite a few people. They can…”

Nian tightly clenched the official dispatch. It stated that the emperor had decreed summoning prominent officials from various provinces back to the capital to report on their duties. The great lord Nian Wei from the northwestern governance would arrive in the capital in May.

Could it be that amnesia would even cause one to forget how to pour water? If that were the case, wouldn’t it be better to simply forget thirst altogether?

Night Song intercepted just before Zhu, attempting to block an attack. The overwhelming force sent him flying more than ten yards, crashing heavily to the ground like a broken kite, his skin scraped to the point of bleeding.

At first glance, there was no difference in appearance between the two. But when standing side by side, the contrast was unmistakable.

Even for a cold-hearted creature, in this moment, the alien Winston could not help but be briefly stunned by what lay before him.

Amidst the piercing howls, the werewolf tyrant displayed astonishing agility and combat instinct. With a powerful thrust of its legs, it advanced instead of retreating, charging through the gap between the giant fingers.

Seeing this, the Daoist Jinwu was startled, exclaiming inwardly, "Supreme Immortal Taisu!" Though he had not ventured out recently, he was well aware of her fearsome reputation and knew of her lethal prowess.

When He Silin heard Ping An agree to spare Su Qin, he breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to everything without hesitation.

“Did that senior explain why the place was called the Land of Monsters?” Lu Yu asked. It seemed too bizarre to have such a name without reason; surely there was a story behind it.

This was a fact she had to admit: no matter how much she despised Yuxie’s sharp tongue, she had to commend his straightforwardness. Setting aside the matter of the floral sea illusion, just the coin toss from earlier—no one saw which side it landed on. She suspected Yuxie had merely said it casually.

After more than half a month of daily tasks and under the supervision of 9527 during the first phase of intermediate-level trials, Geng Haoshi’s physical abilities had greatly improved and strengthened compared to before.

Each of them wielded a Tibetan saber, their techniques personally taught by the Boundless Dharma King and several trusted veteran Tibetan sorcerers. Their Tibetan sabers were much heavier than Persian blades—each weighed over twenty pounds—but in their hands, they moved with astonishing speed.

In just the span of a single breath, a series of voices echoed in Mu Chen’s mind from the system.

The two stood close—he could clearly see Jun Huan’s face partially obscured by her long hair.

Xiazhi brought over two basins of water, and just as everyone wondered what it was for, the moment arrived.

That Daoist Luya must have sensed this, seizing the opportunity to rush forward, attempting to open the Demon Suppression Pool.

Remember, you are the victims. The ones who deserve death, the ones who should be torn limb from limb, are they. Do not waste your precious lives on this matter. Even if not for yourselves, live strongly for your parents—those left behind suffer the most.

Qingfen felt a chill run down his spine. Looking into his eyes, there was no ripple, no trace of emotion.

“I’ve heard about the matters above,” Liu Fei said softly, picking up the beer the waiter brought and handing me a bottle after opening it.

The Jiuzhou Demon Suppression Division is said to originate from an ancient and powerful force, founded by the sages of the human race and has been passed down through countless years.

Xiao Nu, who locked himself in the alchemy chamber, spent his spare time refining barbarian beast pills. Most of the time, however, he allowed the Star River Map to voraciously consume the medicinal ingredients, paying no mind to how the Blood Nether Sect would deal with the Xuan cultivators dragged outside the city.
