Volume 1, Chapter 25: Reckless Provocation

Shen Qingqing blinked and licked her lips.

After her mind raced, she turned her head away and offered a reason even she herself did not believe: "I think you... are a gentleman..."

Surely, he would not take advantage of someone in a vulnerable position.

She couldn't even bring herself to finish the second half of the thought.

"Ha!" Mo Lingcheng was so amused by her words that he let out a sharp laugh.

Meanwhile, Prince Ning Yi Xiao’s gaze gradually shifted toward Mo Yiyue, who was as silent as he was. At this moment, Mo Yiyue’s eyes were fixed on the sand table, as if deep in thought.

Cang Lang lunged forward, delivering a hand strike to the man’s shoulder. With a crisp crack, the left shoulder shattered. Following this, Cang Lang took a swift step, appeared behind the leader, and struck again, knocking him unconscious and bringing him down.

Seeing this, Mu Yuncheng felt that the Prince’s behavior was highly unusual. Logically, with the situation in Central Province being so critical, decisions should be made promptly rather than delayed. It was clear that he harbored certain reservations.

Du Baoshan’s two brothers, Du Baolin and Yang Jiyong, understood his intentions perfectly and approached from either side.

After speaking, the Ancestor of Creation immediately formed a series of hand seals, causing the Southern Heavenly Gate to suddenly erupt with a brilliant, ten-thousand-foot radiance.

"Heh, with the state you're in, you’re trying to cheer others on? Just focus on yourself," Gu Rang said, clearly displeased, his tone sharp and biting.

"Matriarch Salasi, something seems strange," Harden whispered cautiously to Salasi upon witnessing this scene.

Among them, the highest tier of the demon race is known as the God Race, and the most noble among them is the Blood-War God Race. This Blood-War God Race rules over the Great World of Chiming and serves as its hegemon. Legend has it that they possess the bloodline of the Demon Gods, holding a status of unparalleled supremacy.

However, Old Master Ling had heard that Basali had moved away from the Han family. He also knew it was apparently due to mental health issues and that she had been taken back to her home country for recovery.

At the same time, however, a sixth, a seventh, and even more ice pillars erupted in front, forming a massive wall cast from countless pillars of ice. Then, this ice wall began to move forward in an upright position.

After fiddling with it for a while, Pu Zixuan dismantled the bow into two halves and threw them outside. He walked to the four corners of the house, removed the four Demon-Sealing Talismans, and flew up to the roof, where he indeed spotted another one attached to the tiles, which he promptly peeled off.

Qin Muchen did not speak; he merely held her tightly, letting her strike him and letting her scream. By the time she was exhausted and stopped resisting, his embrace remained as warm as before. An Nianchu did not know why he did not react at all, but... she was truly exhausted, and she slumped against his shoulder.

The hen was plump; with one wing bitten, it flapped the other while squawking incessantly.

Zhang Yingzhuo dared not slacken; he leaped onto a large tree, his gaze tracking the tiger demon’s movements intently.

Winnie watched Qiu Xuan in silence. After an unknown amount of time, she roused herself from her memories and quietly slipped out. It was already very late, and she still had to return home.

Seeing that there was no anger in Qiu Xuan’s expression, An Dezheng breathed a slight sigh of relief. Yesterday, Qiu Xuan had given him so many gold coins, yet he had only managed to uncover this little bit of information, which made him feel quite guilty. However, An Dezheng had done his best; otherwise, he would not have stayed awake all night.

Over the years, countless members of the Divine Determination Sect had died at the claws of the Azure Water Spirit Luminescent Beast, and many outsiders as well. No one had ever been able to defeat such a top-tier spirit beast, let alone snatch a person from its grasp.

Shortly after, a two-headed bird with a body glowing red flew over the palm forest. It seemed to have caught a tempting scent, suddenly slowing its flight to circle above a large tree before locking onto the pile of corpses on the ground below and flapping its wings as it descended toward the carnage.
