45 An Accident (Part V)

"I think so too. Old Brother Sun led them up, yet Captain Wang, you weren't there to lead the way. This differs somewhat from what Captain Wang usually tells us," another security guard chimed in.

Without the slightest hesitation or drag, not a single person who died beneath his dagger closed their eyes.

Lin Junhong seemed to perceive the doubt in Wang Yuan's eyes and explained calmly. To prove he was not lying, he walked to the door of the room and tapped on it lightly a few times.

If the fierce man in black truly was one of those sect masters, then the direction he had just fled in was not toward this courtyard. This indicated he had not returned to the courtyard, which meant that one of the rooms here must currently be empty.

The spring breeze swept by, and the locust tree beside the ruins rustled. White petals and withered yellow leaves drifted down with the wind.

Two vigorous figures plunged into the water, beginning a nearly fifty-meter swimming race back and forth! It seemed that in order to seize the momentum, both teams had coincidentally arranged their strongest swimmers at the front. After all, neither of them were professional swimmers; once the gap at the beginning became too large, morale would easily plummet, making it virtually impossible to catch up even with the desire to do so.

"My master is waiting for me outside the City of Slaughter. As long as Heavenly Sword Patriarch does not come, no one can stop him," Lin Xuan said. Zhuge Yunyang and Yun Qing's expressions shifted in shock as they exchanged glances.

"Yetian..." A celestial, ethereal voice suddenly echoed from the horizon. It was soft and melodious, making anyone who heard it feel as though they were bathed in a spring breeze, incomparably refreshing.

"Hehe, well, my cultivation level only allows me to use spiritual weapons, otherwise I would have forged a magical artifact for myself," Long Chen said with a chuckle.

A massive figure slowly emerged from the dust and smoke, looking several times larger than the previous Blood Spirit Eternal.

"There are other hidden circumstances behind this, and they didn't mean to treat you that way." She gave a dry laugh, looking like a cheating scumbag caught in the act. Her words carried a faint undertone of guilt and lacked conviction.

Taking a deep breath, she stepped into the magnificent and luxurious bedchamber with a calm expression, her gaze immediately falling upon the handsome man seated in the primary seat. His bright yellow dragon robe appeared even more dazzling and eye-catching under the afternoon sunlight.

Chiba could not help but freeze in a daze, and then said in utter terror, "Using the Luoshui River as a battlefield?" In an instant, Chiba seemed to see a river filled with the blood of fallen warriors, with the sounds of endless slaughter still echoing above the vast waters.

Tang Ning'an sat among a large group of young job seekers, feeling slightly awkward. Although she had a baby face and had always taken good care of herself, and despite having given birth, her figure remained well-maintained, making her look quite young, she still felt a mounting pressure.

Basil took a deep breath, feeling the surging energy return within his body. That sensation of controlling everything reappeared in his mind.

At this moment, Xuyuan stopped speaking, feeling that what Mu Xiaofeng said made a lot of sense. The supplies in Luohai City still fell far short compared to the royal capital. The demon army had come from afar, and the rations they could carry were bound to be limited. Seizing the largest granary in the Jun Kingdom was the top priority.

While fighting, these thoughts flashed through Yuan Ling's mind one by one. He also completely understood that the black ape-spirit before him was materialized entirely from all the memories of his life, combined with the power of the heavenly tribulation, pushing its cultivation far beyond his own.

The view was simple: for both humans and exotic beasts, the Nether Ox clan from beyond the domains was the true mortal enemy.

A long whistle descended from the sky as the golden dragon halted. Unlike the six green dragons from before, this golden dragon's huge eyes gleamed as it constantly surveyed the sword-testing platform, as if searching for something.

Dongfang Bodajie was truly anxious. Before Mo Wuxie could finish speaking, he was interrupted, and now it had turned into keeping people in suspense. This showed how much Dongfang Bodajie valued this bond of brotherhood. Mo Wuxie could tell that Dongfang Bodajie was not putting on an act, but acting from the heart; because of this, he held the highest regard for him.

Naturally, this failed to win Mo Wuxie's approval, as this fellow was simply terrified of death. Such doting from his great-grandfather was truly unworthy, he thought with an inner sigh.

The match still had to go on. No matter how vexed they were, the pitches still had to be thrown. For the second pitch, Kazuro Kimura's ball missed the strike zone, but the opponent refused to bite. This wide slider ultimately only brought the count to one ball and one strike.

A flash of white light later, Li Feng appeared within that primeval forest. Looking up, the blue sky was vast and cloudless, and golden sunlight filtered down through the tree branches, casting mottled spots of light upon the ground. Today was still a fine day.

Chen Qi stiffened his neck and said, "We have come to cleanse the realm," repeating the words of the Chief Astrologer once more—nothing more than long-circulated rumors and pretexts. He added that they would petition the Empress Dowager to select a virtuous ruler anew to pacify the common people.

The Void Dragon flew into a rage, its gigantic claws violently sweeping out. It suddenly materialized from the void directly above Li Feng's head, striking him instantly and giving him no chance to dodge whatsoever.

Yet he had promised to protect Qinghe's safety; if any mishap befell her, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

It was only a pity that so many people had come, yet none were able to see Mr. Su. Word came from Mr. Su that, with the nation having lost its crown prince, he had no heart for receiving guests. Everyone thought to herself that Su Changzhen truly lived up to his reputation. Who could have known that this Mr. Su, claiming no heart for guests, had actually gone to Cidu Temple to pay a visit as a guest?

When my gaze met Jin Na's, an indescribable sense of oppression washed over me, causing even my breathing to momentarily stall.

Ye Ruoling already had a grudge against the Li family, and now she had acquired ten Divine General-grade puppets. Killing her in the future would become exceedingly difficult. Besides, her relationship with Honglan of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance was no ordinary one.

The Leopard Demon Emperor did not waste words; the two tusks in his mouth suddenly protruded to a length of over a zhang, emanating a chilling, fierce radiance.
