Volume 1, Chapter 37: Pushing Them to the Brink

"Xu Mingxuan, you..." Shen Qingqing had not finished her sentence when someone knocked her unconscious from behind.

When Shen Qingqing regained consciousness, she found her hands and feet bound to the four bedposts. This posture was both helpless and humiliating. She struggled a few times, only to realize she could not move at all.

"You are lying! I don't believe it! Since Ye Xiu is gone, you and your master can say whatever you want—there is no proof left! You claim to be monks, yet how can your hearts be so venomous?" Tu Qingqing shook her head, her face filled with grief and indignation, refusing to accept the story.

Yao Wuji was also slightly surprised. The descent of the Reaper required immense courage; most importantly, it demanded extreme devotion and a significant sacrifice of lifespan. This middle-aged man had clearly accomplished the impossible.

Passing by the golden coffin, Qi Qi suddenly stopped, looking as if she were searching for further clues.

This trust was somewhat blind, and even Cheng Siyu herself did not know why she trusted Yun Hao so deeply.

It must be said that the Heaven-Connecting Spiritual Dew was indeed miraculous; a single drop possessed the power to reshape the world and reverse the laws of creation.

"That day, when you and the monk Yuxu tried to awaken me and lure me into the world of cultivation, was it because of this obsession?" With a clear mind, he instantly grasped the crux of the matter.

"Can I choose any sword here?" Ye Xiu looked at He Zhiyue with an expression of pleasant surprise, asking in a delighted tone.

If it were to end like this, why take the risk of sending troops to Xuzhou in the first place?

"She gave it to me!" Leng Mian seemed to have anticipated Yun Hao's question, casually pointing toward Gao Shengnan, who stood beside him.

"Hehe, good apprentice, since I am getting married today, would you like to stay for a cup of wedding wine?" Seeing that he would not be beaten, Gu Daojing grinned and leaned his face forward.

The wind stirred the long forest, and silence reigned supreme. The next morning, everyone at the breakfast table remained quiet.

Bai Yanyi, seeing her charming smile, felt his heart stir. He felt a warmth in his hand; it was Mother Luo holding it. He grinned broadly and followed her inside.

In terms of raw strength, even the Black-Shattered Lion was far inferior to this cultivator from the Slaughter War Society, whose bones and muscles were refined to perfection.

Having acquired dozens more demon cores, Ji Ping wasted no time, taking the monkey-headed creature elsewhere to track down more demons.

Wu Qi did not feel embarrassed when exposed; watching these people from above, I truly realized that one could possess such thick skin through sheer effort.

Lin Xiao had given him a peerless spiritual root pill, effectively granting him a brand-new life. While his talent had improved, cultivation had become even more difficult. He was currently only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Void realm—having just entered the ranks of the Three Voids, there was still a long road ahead before he could face the Tribulation.

"Girl, I knew you had ambition. I’ll be waiting for you in the capital!" Old Master Hong’s eyes were filled with admiration.

I simply sat upright and let him look; Master Niu, fittingly, stared at me incessantly.

"Is Old Master Chen doing well?" Shangguan Hongye asked with a smile. This Old Master Chen had been a close friend of his late father, the Emperor, so his tone was exceptionally polite.

Su Yuan glanced at Jiang Yuqing, who was squinting her eyes, her breathing slightly heavy. After speaking, he quickly buried his face in the crook of her neck.

Just as the opponent's scimitar descended, he suddenly clapped his palms together, catching the blade firmly between his hands.

Zheng Kunming knew that Zhao Xuan's attention was currently fixed on his subordinates. He nodded in understanding and walked toward the backpack.

Upon arriving, the King of the Angel Race did not hesitate to strike, attempting to annihilate Ye Nan along with the humans.

He wanted to go over and greet Nangong Mingyue, but his clothes had been soiled by Zhu Zhuqing, who had spilled wine on him. Helpless, he had to abandon the idea of going down to greet her.
