Chapter 34: Why is this little rascal latching onto her?

Yu Wanqiao looked at Lu Xiao, wondering if he had lost his mind. What was the meaning of saying these things to her now? Everything she had done before had been dismissed by a single, airy remark from him—that only Bai Chuwei truly cared for him, unlike her, Yu Wanqiao, who did nothing but push him to practice his swordplay all day. Yu Wanqiao sneered inwardly. "If you're sick, go see a doctor." She brushed past Lu Xiao’s shoulder.

Qin Changfeng did not dwell on the matter, merely agreeing with a nod. Yet, in every word and gesture, he deliberately exuded reverence toward this first creature of the Blood Sea. He had no choice; he wanted this person to be his scapegoat whenever he caused trouble, so how could he afford not to treat the man like an ancestor? The other cultivators had mostly heard what the Immortal King of Records said, and they began to look at Du Yunfeng, with many acquaintances whispering among themselves.

"One day, I will take you to see Mount Tai," Shen Ruofan said, holding Zhou Ruomei’s soft, boneless hand, his previous frustration seemingly vanishing. Sure enough, a faint sound came from the office door, followed by the sound of two light sets of footsteps inside.

Without any buildup or transition, it was not only straightforward but also akin to grabbing someone by the collar and preparing to strike. Zheng Qiu closed her eyes. It was late, he hadn't returned, and his phone was turned off; even a fool would know what was going on. It seemed she needed to plan ahead. Her intuition told her that she would surely discover something major today—perhaps even uncover some great traitor.

Qin Sisi’s thoughts raced. In the cycle of elements, water overcomes fire, so fire magic was unsuitable. She cast a metal-element spell, the Sword of Yama. The Moon Spirit Golden Feather slashed through the air, and a massive longsword flew upward to meet the rain of arrows.

The Shadow Lord had just respawned. There were no traces of other teams passing through the valley, and no one else was in this cave, yet the Shadow Lord was dead. Amidst a flurry of commands, the center of the Northern Army, shielded by great shields, began to bubble like a boiling teapot as plumes of black clouds emerged and drifted in every direction.

"No problem! I will make you so strong that you’ll even start to fear yourself!" Xing Tian declared.

"Boss Jin, let's keep things clear and draw up a written agreement. Write one for Brother Laowai’s share too; even brothers must settle accounts clearly." Laowai didn't object when he heard this.

"This time... I want you dead!" Zhou Zhiming said viciously, leading Wang Yao to the front of Yang You’s residence.

Above the southeastern city, the clouds churned, forming a black layer of clouds a hundred miles thick. The world below fell into absolute darkness, and space even twisted and rotated, as if about to collapse.

Lin Feng'er spoke, bid farewell to Gu Boran, and led Jing Ye and his companion deep into the palace. After a long time, they arrived before an elegant, exquisite stone chamber. Lin Feng'er gestured to the two and said, "You may go in."

However, Yang You’s gaze remained fixed on the thin young man. He knew that among the three, only this thin man was the one who controlled the Great Dao of Time and Space. His gaze turned to the left, for he had sensed a terrifying fighting force approaching him from that direction.

"The Fifteenth Palace!" Xun Qian, who had just intended to rest, suddenly froze, his eyes then filled with overwhelming fighting spirit.

"No need to play dumb. We already know that Mr. Bai is Cai Jun, and as the person in charge of the company, you must be his confidant—how could you not know?" Zhen Shifeng immediately demanded.

Meng Nan’s face turned bright red, and he shook his head stubbornly. "I'm fine!" But the spots where his hands had been kicked were clearly bruised.

Although the Demon Lords' primary attention today was on the three newcomers, it did not mean the others had no chance at all. Tiger Cub was, of course, with him; his jaw injury didn't prevent him from driving or doing other things. These were extraordinary times, and he dared not leave Li Xiang’s side for a single moment.
