Chapter 136: Ambushed from Within?

Hearing that they were armed, Cao Bin’s brows furrowed slightly. It seemed he needed to be more cautious. However, looking at the woman before him, he thought she might still be of some use. It was better to make some use of her than to kill her outright.

“What are you out here for? Were you sent to find food?” Cao Bin continued to ask.

...

The stars on the outer edge of the night sky grew scarcer. Only from a great distance could one spot the next star, and their light was dim and obscure.

“No, don’t!” Ji Lixuan’s hand was pried away. In panic, he grabbed Hua Qianqian as she tried to leave, pulling her into his arms and pressing his lips to hers.

But Qiu Xuan had no choice. Even if he failed, he had to succeed; otherwise, Rong Yue would have no hope. Rong Yue had been wounded for him, and no matter what, he could not let her down.

“It’s you!” Kenny was startled inwardly, never expecting Qiu Xuan to appear here. Though Qiu Xuan was clad entirely in black, Kenny recognized the silver mask. He knew that Qiu Xuan had made a great name for himself wearing that mask—known as the Madman, the pinnacle of his generation.

The palace night banquet, thick with undercurrents, finally came to an end. Everyone left the palace with complicated emotions.

Meng Que was facing the barrel of Captain Wu’s gun, feeling quite disgruntled. The distance between them was over ten meters, and out of respect for Lin Huiyin, he chose not to argue with Captain Wu, casually tossing the box to the ground.

The two whispered to each other, soon recounting the situation clearly, leaving Luo Dan visibly shocked.

The entire room looked at him in silent disbelief before simultaneously turning their gaze toward Luo Shuiyi’s belly, their thoughts wildly racing toward a bizarre direction.

Meng Que merely smiled without replying. The young man was meant to be a secret force; if he could grow stronger in the future, he could nearly rival any of the three great families. But for now, the time was not right. This secret must not be revealed to anyone.

Ignoring Dong Nana’s advice, Wang Yilong tore off the seal and entered the hotel room.

Later, Luo Ning taught Illidan how to sense and harness the forces present in nature.

Zhao Linlin was similar. Among the team, aside from Da Hei, she knew the least about Li Banxia. That girl simply admired and gravitated toward her.

Strength, speed, and endurance were evenly matched in the short term. Their visible exhaustion was marked by heavy breathing and white mist escaping their mouths, signaling a drain of stamina. The fierce battle was taxing on all, with Le Ping seeming slightly weaker than Zamasu.

The school had already built many buildings. Some workers were brushing lime mixed with finely chopped dry grass onto the walls. Others had begun crafting tables and chairs.

Seeing the young man suddenly take on a serious demeanor, Ryoko Kuromatsu was momentarily stunned. It was Izumi Sakai who tugged her sleeve, bringing her back to attention. She pulled out a chair and sat down at the table.

The golden ball of lightning vanished as Lin Sangbai activated the blood-red eyes of the demon tribe to adapt and observe. Instantly, a giant glowing sword at least a hundred meters long appeared in his vision.

Lin Sangbai was at a loss for how to evaluate his colleagues in the branch, though he had little personal connection with them.

Hearing his unusual tone, Ye Sisi looked up in surprise and silently turned off her phone.

Mu Jin stared blankly at his master, who was drifting further and further away, about to launch into a discussion on Lucifer’s nine celestial downfalls and, based on free fall calculations, deduce the distance he fell and thus locate heaven. Mu Jin pulled him back just in time.

A faint “Yes” came from an unknown direction, then all went silent. Yun Lingjing knew that Long Jiao had already gone to handle the matter.
