Chapter 30: Who Is This Bandit Lu!
Chatting idly with Second Senior Brother, Lu Ze sent a message. It was a voice message lasting a full minute. Lu Qingfei didn’t feel like listening, so he tapped to convert it to text.
“Hey! Let me tell you something—you won’t believe it! The Ling family is haunted again, and this time it’s really serious! My dad and Ling Bai were attending a banquet…”
“To love beauty over the river and mountains—now that’s not the mark of a qualified emperor. Still, this king possesses some ability; three years of illness, yet the state of Zhuzi remains stable. Even now, with the imperial decree issued, there’s no unrest. So when he claims he doesn’t care for his throne, I fear those words ring hollow,” Tang Sanzang said with a wry smile and a shake of his head.
Lu Tianyi’s feelings were tangled and complicated, yet on the other hand, he found it all rather novel. Before encountering the zombified Lu Tianyu, he’d never imagined conversing with a zombie. Normally, the sight of one would have prompted him to strike it down.
The first-place champion would receive a Soul-Severing Pill and a Spirit-Severing Pill, one each; a low-tier Heaven-grade weapon; a Heaven-grade martial technique; and recognition as a disciple of King Zhuang Zhou. The rewards for the others would be reduced accordingly.
The Ghost-face Ancient Jade could no longer care about appearances; he seized Luo Wusheng and hurried toward the exit, apologizing profusely as they went: “A thousand apologies—I forgot my medicine again. I’ll go lock myself in the cave at once.” As his words fell, the two of them vanished before the astonished crowd.
“Young master, we’ve already located Old Pine Island, and discovered that some people have recently been imprisoned in the jails of Xuzhou.”
At that moment, the icy chill that had gripped Wu Chengyue’s body suddenly receded like a tide, and in its place rose a familiar burning heat. He immediately relaxed, letting out a long breath, as if exhaling that cold from his chest; his whole body began to loosen and grow supple.
The moment Fox Seven’s alluring words faded, she lunged toward Luo Wusheng. In order to protect her child, Luo Wusheng rolled to the ground, clutching her belly. The pain of her legs hitting the earth shot through her nerves, but she told herself this was not the time to give in.
The jet ski tore across the sea like a sprinting leopard, but close behind surged a primordial behemoth, roaring as though declaring its sovereignty and status—unyielding to intrusion, vowing to annihilate any who dared challenge its authority.
After two enormous crashes of surging waves, two lotus flowers, pure and unsullied by the mire, floated into the sky.
No, I have to escape. If that thing stays under my pillow, I fear my mind will truly be turned to mush.
“He’s watching us! He’s watching us!” Xinzi shouted in excitement, waving his arms and stomping his feet.
Now it was too late to dodge; he could only force himself to take the attack head-on. With this realization, Leng Yu hesitated no longer—his body rapidly swelled, transforming into a massive blood shield, enduring the force of that torrent of energy.
“What is that?” Han Qianyu had no idea what tricks Wang Ba was playing, but he knew Wang Ba was thoroughly enraged. As for the power of the third form—he didn’t know either, but caution was now his only recourse.
Trailing behind Hunter Association President Fang Zheng were not just the association’s hunters, but also members of various noble families—no soldiers among them.
With the faintest of tugs, a terrifyingly wild energy suddenly surged from within the Sea Vast Gold-Iron. In an instant, molten iron streamed through the array’s lines, and even the alchemical fire was devoured.
“Uncle, do you suspect the conflict between the two sides is related to the intrusion of those forging-realm experts?” Han Qianyu suddenly realized.
The beam of light shone on the golden Buddha statue, and Zhu felt the smile on the Tathagata’s face grow even more enigmatic—the curve of its lips deepened, and its eyes narrowed.
