Volume 1, Chapter 39: Le Yi

"Old Mu, I want an explanation." The fatty's glowing eyes were startlingly bright in the darkness.

Luo Yao had never truly reached the main burial chamber, which remained a regret for her. Yet, seeing these newly taken photos, her heart began to beat wildly, just as Mu Xichen's had at the time.

"It is often said that one may search high and low for something, only to find it effortlessly. If the tomb of the Nether Poison Venerable is indeed here, then the appearance of the Ghost-Faced Taowu is no coincidence; it must be related to the Venerable," Shi Quan remarked.

Xilai is a vital inland fortress in the northwest of Dongli, bordering the Guardian City. The area is filled with endless mountain ranges, and there are countless narrow mountain passes that one must traverse to enter the city. If someone were to set an ambush in these mountains, it would be difficult for any enemy to escape alive, making it an exceptionally difficult place to conquer.

The clock in the academic building struck ten, and that ghostly sound emerged once more. It drifted from an unknown source, rhythmic and eerily supernatural.

As for the "devotion" that Rao Meng spoke of, Yuan Wei naturally knew the secret behind it; it was merely a facade maintained by the Black Stone. With the Cave Slave Token in his hand, everything in this Brown Salt Grotto belonged to him, including the bodies and minds of the numerous spirit beasts.

"Senior Yan, have you sensed anything?" Shi Quan ceased his deliberate blockade of the external perceptions of the several 'old monsters' within him, communicating mentally with the Fire Emperor.

Black droplets splattered onto the arena floor, hissing as they landed; the potent, corrosive poison had no choice but to vent itself upon the ground.

"Yi!" Even Old Man Lame felt uncomfortable just saying it. Mu Xichen looked at his own foot, speechless and on the verge of tears, and gestured toward it.

With the methods of her 'psycho' husband, what could she not find out from Mu Xiang if she wanted to?

At the moment of the heavy punch, the massive magic dragon was actually sent flying backward by the impact. Xu's previously savage and fierce expression shifted into one of incredible astonishment.

The Oriental family was not idle either. Beyond notifying Tuoya and his two companions that they were to receive personal guidance from the three Saint-tier masters of the Oriental family, Oriental Xiong, Lan Xiaoyun, and the others were also busy deliberating on their next battle strategy.

After Li Li argued with the Owl for a while, she was also taken into the prisoner transport vehicle, though she was not handcuffed. Like Zhang Yimu, she was led through the back door by the police, while the Owl boarded through the front. Once he climbed in, he casually shut the door, and the vehicle immediately started.

"It’s quite far from here; it might take several days on horseback," Biniqi pondered.

Levant, looking as if he had just lost his own mother, tremblingly counted on his fingers before turning his head away with grim determination.

Today, as per her usual custom, Athena came before the seat of the Supreme One to pray after bathing. Yet, while she usually felt a serenity like still water when bathed in the Supreme radiance, today her heart was agitated and restless, filling Athena with a stifling sense of unease.

Li Li was about to flare up, but upon hearing his shout, she hesitated. She had intended to scold the driver, but swallowed her words instead.

"Move!" one of the guards commanded in a low voice. Two experts at the Tribulation Transcendence stage each unleashed a palm strike, instantly enveloping all four of them within their range of attack.

After sensing the peak of Tang Jiao and Dai Rao's mental fluctuations for the umpteenth time, Cheng Kong finally felt the two of them stop their activity and begin moving toward his location.

Heaven Demon, Purple Robe, and Ruoxi slowly stepped into the competition arena, forming a distinct triangular formation. It was clear that Ruoxi and Purple Robe intended to pincers Heaven Demon! A cold, disdainful sneer curled the corners of Heaven Demon's mouth. His solitary, arrogant figure made Ruoxi feel that he resembled her Brother Feng so much that she couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

The sound gave Zhao Shiyu a massive fright, and he instinctively scrambled upward. They had both heard that sound clearly just now; wasn't it said that the Divine Bell Tower could not emit any noise?

That time, when Nagachika Hideyoshi was lying on his side on the bed in the room on the third floor of Anteiku, half-asleep and half-awake, he suddenly heard a conversation faintly tinged with sobs coming from outside the open door. It didn't take long for Hideyoshi to recognize that one of the two people speaking was Kaneki-kun.

Accompanied by a loud bang, a massive flurry of crystal-clear snowflakes descended from the sky, sharp as swords and knives, swirling and rushing forward without leaving a trace or a retreat.

However, 'Iron Wall' found a bench in the park and sat down, patting the spot next to him.

Shi Zi was taken aback by Mu Yong's rebuke. Just as he was about to sit down, his mind turned and he chuckled, "Brother, I understand. I actually got up to pour you some tea, your cup was empty." He then picked up the teapot and filled Mu Yong's cup.

"He cannot be allowed to sink too deep... Xiao Xiao..." Anna turned, looking down at the mangled face of Xu Liang, and let a stream of tears fall, unable to control herself as she spoke.

In particular, the senior members of the Yiyuan Sect, who had eaten some of the flood dragon meat, had to circulate their internal energy from time to time to digest it. As they were almost all experts with profound cultivation in the Legendary realm, they were certainly not in danger of bursting, but being stuffed to the point of stagnation was still a troublesome affair.

Amidst Amy's scream, the three of them plummeted rapidly. The surrounding rock walls were as smooth as polished jade, offering no places for hands or feet to grip.

With an extremely sharp sound of air being torn, the master of the Ba Tian Pavilion appeared as if he had pierced through space itself, arriving in front of Wuming in an instant. An expert at the Great Saint realm had already begun to vaguely touch the edges of the laws of space.

Tong Mudi finished his scathing lecture, grabbed a handful of Shi Zi's hair with his claw, and asked, "Where were we?"

Ye Zheng touched and examined the coarse cloth tunic. Lin Chu had brought it from the Spirit Realm; unlike the modernization of Earth, the style was simple, quite similar to the antique clothing style of Fengdu, and perfectly suited for changing out of his wedding attire.

Before a cultivator can undergo marrow-cleansing and break through to the Condensation stage, they must go through a long period of accumulating their foundation. During this phase, beyond the tempering and improvement of their temperament and the purity of their true energy, the most important aspect is the stabilization of the Dantian.

A massive deep crater was formed, and even though Jiang Dongyu was ten thousand meters away, he could still feel the tremors of the earth.
