Volume One, Chapter 30: Ah, Being a Monster Is Really Hard

Furthermore, possessing powerful healing arts capable of feats beyond the reach of many medicinal pills, he naturally never thought to keep any on his person.

An inconspicuous shadow drifted silently through the barrier, drawing no one’s attention.

Zhang’s father had studied finance in university, so he had some understanding of the financial freedom Zhang Chu spoke of. In his eyes, as long as his son could live a smooth, safe, and happy life, that was enough.

As the head of the household, he always spent the Lunar New Year at home. Visiting relatives in his hometown and socializing with neighbors were essential parts of the holiday.

The Immortal Martial Sect left two hall masters behind to monitor every move of these individuals, ready to capture them if necessary once the cultivators finished their preparations.

For some reason, the assailant in black utilized the recoil from that strike to vanish instantly into the shadows of the trees.

With a body strengthened to the peak of the Qi Refining stage, Gu Lin felt confident he could take down an ordinary Qi Refiner.

He had assumed that the cultivators from the four Immortal Martial Sects arriving this time would be no different, provided nothing unexpected occurred.

He said nothing to expose the truth; he understood Shen Xingchui better than he understood himself and knew it was not the right time to pierce the veil.

"The Prince of Qin?" A strange look crossed Chu Suiliang’s face. He was not unaware of the events at court during his journey; he knew perfectly well that Li Jingrui had been demoted from Crown Prince to Prince of Qin, but he did not believe Li Jingrui had lost his chance. As long as the Emperor lived, anything was possible.

"Heh, Ouyang Shangzhi has committed countless evils and deserves to be denounced by all righteous warriors under heaven! I shall certainly persuade my master to fight for a name of justice for the sake of the world," Lonely Marquis declared resolutely.

Mosita quickly adjusted his state of mind. Having guaranteed he would escape before the plane landed, he waited. He was waiting for the plane’s detection eyes to deactivate; only then could he leave safely.

Placing the dessert on the coffee table beside the sofa, Lu Jingming leaned forward, resting one hand on the armrest.

Whenever Soviet reinforcements made progress and reached the brink of a breakthrough, waves of roaring German artillery would land with deadly precision upon them, causing their efforts to fall short at the final moment.

Lin Juan gripped her grandmother's hand more tightly; the coming scene might be quite heart-wrenching for her.

Just then, he suddenly thought of something, swam back, grabbed the monster’s tail, and dragged it toward the cave entrance.

A crystal-clear, mesmerizingly colored white bead was spat from the fish’s mouth into Gao Qiuguan’s palm.

Xie Anlan walked to the window with a wine glass. The autumn night air was cold, blowing against him, but he felt nothing. Even though this marriage was currently a sham, he would eventually make it real one day.

"Alright, thank you for your care, Miss Hinata. I will head over first; you can come find me when you are free," Luo Wuyi said before hailing a taxi to the Kyoto Hotel.

Until reaching the perfection of Qi Refining, where true energy surged like a tide to break through the barriers, connecting the meridians and acupoints of the entire body, reversing the acquired into the innate, and linking the internal world of the body with the vast world outside—at that point, man and heaven merged into one. The pores and acupoints of the body would automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, circulating it along the path of cultivation.

A streak of emerald light flowed from the mountaintop, following the stone steps, and reached the feet of Lian Yunxu in the blink of an eye, where it condensed into a thin, human shape.

Mu Junqian was also feeling a massive headache; these insects were truly annoying. They weren't particularly strong, but they constantly harassed Mu Junqian and his group, leaving them with no way to retaliate effectively.

"Did these guys realize they couldn't beat us and just retreat?" Sun Yuhu also found it strange.

Lu Xingzhu watched with intense focus as the medicine, worth over a hundred million, slowly dissolved in the water. She was extremely nervous, but her phone on the table suddenly rang.

On the other side, Shen Xiaobai was handling company affairs when his assistant walked into the office with a stack of photos, footsteps hurried.

"Tingzhu, come over and bow as well." Ning Qiuyue pulled Tingzhu along to bow to Wan Wuli as a gesture of apology.

"I call you 'Big Brother' now only to give you face. Just you wait; in the near future, I will make you kneel at my feet," Zhao Wuji muttered to himself.

Therefore, if Ye Tianchen truly made her feel uneasy, she would never accept him as a disciple, no matter how astonishing his talent was.

"This is a super-large tomb. The Ghost Tomb is the heart of the Nine Dragon Tomb, and beneath the Ghost Tomb lies an ancient structure resembling a brain. It is likely the oldest part of this Nine Dragon Tomb, perhaps even more terrifying!" Wu Shisan said.

But why was Yi Wen in his hands? What on earth had happened? Where were Yingzuo Longkun, Bobby, and the others?

The Ghost Demon had recovered somewhat, but seeing the lightning flashing on the sword in my hand, it immediately dodged, not daring to take the blow head-on.

Long Wu and Su Xi immediately flashed to either side of the gate, gripping their pistols tightly, their eyes locked on the entrance.

Having experienced the fleeting beauty of youth and brushed against death, they finally truly understood the terror of the laws of time.
