Volume 1, Chapter 28: Unloading the Cargo

"Get down!" Wang Dong shouted. The moment Liu Hong heard him, he dropped to the ground!

Of course, it wasn't just Liu Hong; Xiangyu also hit the deck. She had no idea who Wang Dong was shouting at, but since he had called out, it must have been for a reason. Might as well just get down!

A faint smile flickered across Yi Feng's face, which was covered by a black cloth mask. He nodded, noncommittal.

This was an imported wine bottle, so the glass was exceptionally thick and sturdy. If it were to strike an ordinary person on the head, it would either kill them or leave a gaping, bloody hole.

Everyone else remained rooted to the spot, their faces masks of horror, standing still as if caught in a dream.

"Exactly, exactly. Gold and silver mines in the Underworld are scarce to begin with, so from now on, whenever they want to travel from the mortal realm to the Underworld, we must charge them a toll!" the Five Ghosts immediately began to deliberate.

The three of them walked together, looking every bit like a family of three. Anyone who didn't know better would surely think so. Xuanyuan Muqing was certainly aware of this, but she made no attempt to avoid it, letting others think whatever they pleased.

"Brother Su, what is this World-Ending Divine Light?" Zhang Chen asked, seeing Su Bo furrow his brow.

The question was direct and offensive, likely leaving those unaware of the situation confused—but Edward, having had "personal experience," knew very well that Loren's question was not without merit.

Just then, Zhang Chen, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly opened them. A burst of golden light erupted from his body, pushing back the surrounding black light. Then, spotting a gap that had formed as the black light expanded, he dove straight through it.

He scanned the crowd one by one. Aside from Qian Yi, everyone else's eyes darted away, none of them daring to even glance at the beautiful woman.

Flailing blindly? You can't get a grip on my neck, so you want to resort to brute force? Very well, I'll indulge you. Because Yuxuan was young and strong, his movements were doubly swift, each of his strikes landing before his opponent could even initiate their own.

Only now did he realize that victory is never a matter of luck; if you want to win, you must pay the price.

—But the escort still wouldn't let him go. After catching up to him, he stripped him naked, tied him to a tree, and whipped him with rattan vines.

Yet, he felt as if his blood had run dry. If King Miao were to swing his blade now, he would surely be unable to resist.

In the past, Zhang Zhi Ping had needed to rely on the Heaven-Man mode to manipulate pure water with such ease, but now, he could finally manage it through his own strength alone. It had become a major technique, no weaker than his Great Sound Silent Law or the Fire Crow Radiance Weapon, which he called the Ruyi Pure Water Flow.

"It's fine. So many years have passed; I'm used to it. I'm full, and I'd like to go for a walk outside. Care to join me?"

As the bomb approached the site of the first explosion, the monster made its move. Its abdomen suddenly split open, generating a powerful suction force that drew the bomb deep into its body.

Ding Linglin walked over to look at him and smiled. "You don't look like me at all; I'm much prettier than you." They really didn't look alike in the slightest.

However, abandoning his research into the Soul-Devouring Seal was not an option either. After the two argued for a long time, Wu Yong finally agreed to let Zhang Zhi Ping study it periodically, provided that he remained by his side the entire time.

The Huashan Sect and the Wang Family of the Golden Blade, seeking news of Yun Yi, issued a notice across the pugilistic world: anyone who could provide information on Lin Pingzhi would receive a reward of one thousand taels of silver from the Wang family.

Ritsuko and Ibuki glanced at each other. "I'll leave the next task to you," Gendo said before walking out of the control room.

"Let me reintroduce myself. I am the Daoist Su Zizhan, a true disciple of the Xuanji Peak of the Youli Mountain Lower Sect!" Su Zizhan smiled, emphasizing his origins, especially the words "Lower Sect," with great clarity.
