23 The Devotion of the Star Discipline

The influence of broadcasting platforms was indeed immense, so Luo Yuan had already prepared himself for a protracted battle; he no longer expected to ignite a sensation right from the start.

The escape passage in this world was nearly identical to those on Earth. After entering, Luo Ye closed the normally closed door behind him—this was crucial. In the absence of sound, ghosts generally would not push open this door to come hunting here.

Xiao Yi exhaled a puff of smoke, crossed his legs, leaned against the wall, and, eyes fixed on the corner, slowly shared with Su Yi the story of his family and Cheng Cheng’s parents.

Yet he failed to notice that when his back was turned, Zhang Yunze revealed a cold, disdainful smile. When Jian Chuan Yongta struck Zhang Yunze’s back the first time, Zhang Yunze also exerted force to resist Jian Chuan Yongta’s rear assault.

He heard the surrounding murmurs and cursed inwardly, “Damn it... I dare any one of you to take a hit and see how it feels.” He was reluctant to get up; he was truly afraid—one more heavy kick from Ye Ge and he would be utterly undone.

The street was filled with the ceaseless calls of vendors, all hawking their wares. Countless cultivators blocked the entire street tightly.

Luo Ye pretended not to notice. A sudden chill ran down his spine as he looked ahead and found Gregory turning back to look at him, his eyes full of cold menace and warning.

“Yes, I estimate it would be difficult for Ye Tao to face him. Although our defensive line is considered strong nationwide, against the High School Affiliated to Renmin University, it becomes our weakest link,” Wang Yunlong said.

Cheng Yanzhong arrived at the bridal chamber of Cao Ruyan and himself; Cheng Dizhi and several madams were present as well, showing the importance they placed on their eldest grandson.

The lord of the “Blood Sect” raised his jade wrist and struck toward Li Hongxiu. Li Hongxiu smiled coldly; using the “Fleeting Shadow” displacement technique, she instantly vanished from the “Blood Sect” lord’s sight.

Li Zhijie rejoiced. His only worry was that I would run amok, challenging myself in a scattered manner. Now seeing me abandon long moves for short ones, how could he not be secretly pleased? He pressed harder, determined to end me with a single punch.

In Duan Qingming’s mind, he was making other plans—two of the three tasks had been disclosed, but he still did not know what the third task Yan Lingyu wanted him to perform was.

When Ji Wanrou tried to stop Si Mei, it was already too late. After angrily toppling two henchmen with her sword, she immediately followed Si Mei toward Yue Lin.

Yang Lei, in his urgency, wanted to use this fierce attack to defeat one side first, then comfortably deal with the other. However, everyone saw through his plan—how could they let him succeed so easily?

In the eighteenth year of the Hongwu reign, Minister of War Wang Zhi exploited the conscription opportunity for profit, accepting bribes totaling 230,000 taels from hereditary military households evading service. Zhu Yuanzhang sent him to the execution block.

Yao Yao was delighted to hear they were going out to eat. Although she had not yet adapted to normal tastes, she still felt the food outside was somewhat better than what Zhou Qingqing made.

“Even the War God’s Hall is probably not this grand and magnificent!” Chen Xing murmured. He had been to the War God’s Hall before, but the feeling was incomparable to the empty palace before him. The overwhelming presence was like an empty fortress, insurmountable.

The skin beneath his hand felt smooth and elastic; Jiang Nuan found it fresh and even reached out to tap it again.

Li Ye did not refuse at all. The Earth Spirit Fruit was excellent, but given Yun Weiyang’s current condition, she could only consume one per day at most. Otherwise, not only would the desired effects fail, but it would cause blood to flow backward and result in deficiency unresponsive to nourishment.

Others often lost their temper over poor food, but Qiu Xuan ate the bloody flesh of demonic beasts while constantly guarding against their attacks. The poisonous snakes in the jungle brought no complaints.

“Pursue!” They could not let this opportunity slip away. Even just a glance would at least reveal information about Rong Rong and Qian Yun.

However, she was caught by her second brother just as she began to learn, nearly breaking her dog-leg.

“Angel?” Upon hearing the word, Hu Ao trembled all over, as if recalling something elusive, but could not grasp the fleeting light, muttering the word quietly.

On the first floor, a vast classroom held only a few dozen people; the others were on the second and third floors. Those on the first floor were likely all freshmen.

Leng Ji silently approached a shopping bag and saw inside a men’s leather belt.

“Hmph, ignorance. I have my own methods. You two will come with me to Yunmeng City to reactivate those two massive formations,” Li Er snorted coldly, clearly displeased with Putai’s use of the word “simple.”

“Alright, I hope their four wheels can keep up with us; otherwise, we’ll have to make an emergency landing. Damn it, there isn’t a single flat road across all of Japan,” Lei said, looking down at the undulating mountains.

But just after saying this, Su Yuan hurriedly stopped himself, and Fairy Wen immediately recalled how she had once seduced Su Yuan bare-bodied in the Twelfth Lotus Platform, causing her to blush deeply.

“Jiang Ming.” Jiang Ming briefly introduced himself, then stepped back slightly, saying no more.

Three men dressed in black slowly raised their wakizashi. Their once blood-red eyes turned purple, and even their hands gripping the blades became an eerie purple hue!
