Chapter 22: Reunion

Gu Sheng’s ears burned with embarrassment. He Wenzhou’s whisper, though soft, was laden with mockery. Trapped at the end of the corridor, she hardly needed to look up to feel the inquisitive gazes of the group standing before her. For the first time, Gu Sheng felt a sense of shame for ever having been associated with someone like Zhao Qinglang. She realized that He Wenzhou had misunderstood her.

Meanwhile, some rational observers speculated whether the Divine Realm faction had deployed so many experts for the sake of Long Yun’s mission. Later, when those experts, who had been recruited by the Long family to assist Long Yun before being driven away by Haotian, came forward to testify, the cloud of suspicion in everyone’s minds finally cleared.

The artifact Master Tu had personally chosen for him was clearly no ordinary treasure. After refining it, Lin Qing discovered that the ring possessed an incredibly potent ability to trap others; once ensnared, anyone whose spiritual sense was not sufficiently strong would immediately fall into a deep slumber.

Back at the Golden Summit Reincarnation Hall, Li Tielan had been deeply worried about the defenses of the rear mountain. At the time, it was Yang Hexian who first spoke up, claiming that the ten-thousand-foot abyss behind the mountain was a natural barrier, making it impossible for the undead monsters to attack from that direction.

Liu Yu spouted some nonsense about the "Three Elegances," though he was essentially just making his stance clear: I am shameless, so what are you going to do about it?

He was a remarkably handsome middle-aged man with flowing silver hair. His thick, dark eyebrows resembled two sharp swords slanting across his temples, and his eyes were like two embedded stars. His aloof face radiated an aura of arrogance and unbridled defiance, as if he looked down upon the entire world.

At the very center of the grand hall, where the alchemy and weapon cauldrons ought to have been, there was nothing but emptiness. Aside from the formations and seals that had completely ceased their operation, there was nothing worthy of note.

The mountain breeze blew from the shaded side, carrying the pervasive scent of decaying leaves across the landscape. Han Xuemei sat on a smooth rock by the water pool, a few strands of dark hair dancing slowly in the wind, some clinging to her beautiful, delicate cheeks and brushing against her nose and lips, creating a ticklish sensation.

Targeting his direction, Liu Yu suddenly surged forward a few steps, reaching his throwing range, and with a flick of his wrist, he hurled the spherical object toward the Great Khan’s seat.

After the three sports cars had driven off, Haotian reignited his engine. The headlights flared with a blinding white light, and without a sound, the car surged forward in complete silence.

He had always held onto the firm belief, a feeling almost like a blood connection, that his parents were not dead, a conviction that gave him great confidence.

In an instant, the bodies of Cassius and Blake were completely encased in ice, from the inside out.

"Let's go," Ray said, walking toward the door made of light brown crystal. Just as he was about to knock, he heard a sound from within. He froze, and upon realizing what it was, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he looked back at Cassius and the others with a strange expression.

Within the space, every King-level cultivator holds an untouchable bottom line, where all their secrets are hidden. Therefore, experts proficient in spatial power often set up spatial barriers or formations to block detection and prevent others from prying.

"I saw it with my own eyes; the kid's defense was shattered. This time, even if he doesn't die, he’ll be crippled!" several archmages began to whisper.

That night, none of them slept well, their troubles weighing on them with no one to share the burden.

"Don't be impatient, Young Master Guo, the Master will be here shortly!" The servant walked out with light, graceful steps. Watching his movements, Guo Nianfei thought to himself: This is an expert.

Upon hearing the Sword Barbarian Dragon’s words, the Ox Barbarian Dragon immediately ordered the entire mountain to be on high alert, but it was already too late. Xuan Tong Liu Er had disguised himself as the Violent Barbarian Dragon, winning the trust of the Dragon Beast demon soldiers and causing the mountain gates to be thrown wide open, allowing the eldest prince of the West Sea Dragon King to lead his army in a direct assault on the demon mountain.
