As for why this ancient treasure had not acknowledged a master, Elder Hu offered no explanation. From his expression, he seemed to know something, yet he chose not to say.

During the several hundred years after Ruoshen first vanished, the villagers believed that Ruoshen could protect them, and they guarded the ancestral shrine with extraordinary care.

A resolute look once again swept across Ye Yinfeng’s face. He and Ling Tianyun raised their weapons in perfect understanding. One before the other, they charged at Wanyan Wudi once more. This time, however, Ye Yinfeng led the way, with Ling Tianyun only half a step behind.

That was right—he was currently inside the ring-shaped chamber beneath the ancient palace. Looking closely, one could see that the Divine Mark still rested intact at the center of the circular area. Yet unlike before, there were no armored monsters guarding it. The vast chamber was utterly silent, so quiet that it felt profoundly eerie.

“A light source? You mean the sun?” Ye Linghan gazed toward the sun. Its glaring radiance made it almost impossible for him to keep his eyes open.

“I don’t care whether you’re a real monster or a fake one. Today, this matter ends here!” By the time their idle conversation was over, Yi Ling had already gone far away, and Ming Xuan finally felt relieved.

None of the other three organizations could stand against Yanhuang in a one-on-one confrontation. Thus, whenever Yanhuang was involved, they would join forces without exception. If Long Yi’s deterrent power had not been so overwhelming, Huaxia would probably have had a very difficult time.

There were five of them in all, and every one was a middle-aged man. Lin Chen froze when he recognized the leader. That man had served as a judge during the King of Mercenaries tournament, so Lin Chen remembered him particularly well.

The man with the bone chain and the two petty thugs were stunned as well. They turned around and saw a boy of about sixteen or seventeen sitting on the ground, calmly gnawing on a chestnut.

Ye Linghan had not expected them to have developed an instrument capable of detecting a person’s strength. More importantly, the device could also be used to locate its target. In a metropolis this vast, how many people could possibly produce such an energy reaction? Even if he escaped, he would probably be found before long.

Bai Ling suddenly slammed on the brakes. The tires shrieked against the road. The man rolled over the front windshield and then landed on the ground with a splat.

White light instantly engulfed everyone’s vision. In that moment, the entire world seemed to blaze with radiance. Everyone except those on Tianzi Peak temporarily lost their sight and was plunged into inexplicable terror. Time itself seemed to have stopped; they could no longer sense its passing.

Ajiu did not know what she was feeling at that moment. Ji Yao had not lied—she could sense that much. It turned out that the Son of Heaven was not as she had imagined. She did not know whether she should rejoice or grieve. Her emotions were tangled, her heart filled with conflicting feelings.

Naturally, she cared for Qi Yao, but marriage was still far too early to discuss. She and Qi Yao had known each other for only a little over half a year. Although they had faced life and death together and endured countless hardships side by side, half a year was still not enough for her to entrust him with the rest of her life.

“Tang Haicheng? What happened to him? What does this have to do with him?” She had not expected Tang Haicheng to be dragged into the matter again.

When she left, Jinhui insisted on seeing her off. “I won’t go to the airport to see you tomorrow. I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself.” As she spoke, she quietly wiped her eyes.

Badou of L was gravely wounded and fell into a coma. Much later, on his deathbed, Tianji, the supreme leader of L, sighed with emotion. If not for that war, perhaps Badou would never have become the formidable man he was—one who struck fear into the hearts of demons and caused the Twelve Noahs to tremble.

Seeing the score draw near, the opposing side began to hesitate, and their baseline serve grew feeble. As I watched the ball drift slowly from the baseline toward Zhang Xu near the three-point line at the back of the court, I suddenly realized that my chance had come. Without the slightest hesitation, I leapt sideways. The instant the ball was about to touch Zhang Xu’s palm, I completed the steal.

Yang Chong exchanged a few brief words with the others and learned that they had been brought there by Lagud. The final message Lagud had revealed was that they wanted the group to hurry to Demon City.

“Come here! Come here...” The seductive voice drifted over, like a mosquito whining, unbearably alluring. Lin Yu slowly walked toward it, his expression stiff and vacant, as though his soul had been stolen.

Lieyan finally began to understand why these mentors and the forces of the Council of Elders were so completely at odds.

Zhang Sui pushed open the door and blocked Cheng Hanqing, who was just about to enter, outside. Then he shut the door.

As soon as these words left his mouth, the cold young man drew the long sword in his hand and thrust it fiercely at Chu Shaoyang.

However, each time the Heaven-Piercing Arrow technique was activated, every physical Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow could, depending on the depth of one’s cultivation in the technique, transform into a different number of Sun-Shooting Divine Arrows formed from condensed energy.

“Come here! Come here...” The seductive voice drifted over, like a mosquito whining, unbearably alluring. Lin Yu slowly walked toward it, his expression stiff and vacant, as though his soul had been stolen.

“Demon General Feng Jiu, please give us a chance. Let us die in the war against the invasion of the Netherworld Realm.” With a furious roar, Wuming raised his tear-filled eyes and glared at the eternal, unchanging bright moon.

Wang Yan murmured softly and reached out to catch the fragments that glittered like scattered stars. Unexpectedly, Wang Yan—wrapped in a blood-fiend mystic radiance—was like a primeval beast. Any fragments that drew near fled madly to one side.

“What are you talking about money for? Are you short of it?” Nan Mucheng scolded him, hurriedly tucking a Longevity-Extending Pill safely against his body.

Ahead of them, the guards of Lord Changping’s Residence—the once fiercely formidable soldiers of the Northern Army who had protected the nation—were scattering into utter chaos.
