Chapter 52 Shameless

Most notably, legend has it that even powerhouses of the SSS-class who dared to trespass were slain. That formidable expert originally hailed from the Ouroboros clan, but now that the Ouroboros patriarch is dead, the matter is impossible to verify.

That single cry shook the entire battlefield. Even Yu Fei, who had just crawled up from the ground, was startled. When he looked back and beheld the tragic scene surrounding the formation, and when he saw the madman’s demonic hand reaching toward Yu Qilin, his fury reached a boiling point.

"This child is an orphan." Elder Eagle's words brought a flash of pity to the eyes of the elders present, though not an excessive amount of sympathy. There are simply too many orphaned children in this world—far more than one can possibly imagine.

To call Wild Horse City a massive military camp would be overestimating it; in reality, the place was nothing more than a sprawling slum.

"Therefore, if you are interested, cultivate diligently for this past month or so. My First Academy will definitely nurture you well!" said Xu Hai.

"Since it has come to this, we shall take our leave." Chu Ao took Ning Zhe, while Cang Yuan carried Ling Yuqing on his back, and they departed.

Hearing the commotion outside the door, the group exchanged glances, feeling a twinge of anxiety. Grand Tutor Yang had arrived! In the imperial court, those who trusted and supported Xu Yang all knew about the embezzlement accusations against him, and Grand Tutor Yang seemed to be acting in direct opposition to him.

"Then just how on earth can you be persuaded to leave? We are currently discussing this very countermeasure. The situation right now is extremely dangerous, and no negligence or errors of any kind can be tolerated. Therefore, your presence here is the single greatest variable."

Shi Meng simply had no time or opportunity to cast spells right now. Crises were erupting everywhere along the city walls, leaving him with no choice but to adopt the most mana-efficient combat method—charging straight into the fray like a warrior.

Since there was no evidence to prove that the shop had previously engaged in receiving and selling stolen goods, Tang Li and his team could not do much to the owner for the time being. Weighing the priorities, they had no choice but to temporarily set the shop's issues aside.

If there were only one or two Nascent Soul stage cultivators present, Fang Zhe's safety margin would increase significantly, because the only beings capable of posing a massive threat to him now were those Nascent Soul stage elders. As for other Core Formation stage cultivators, Fang Zhe was confident in his ability to kill them one by one, or slaughter them in pairs.

However, both he and his son cared deeply about their pride. Having just boasted about his son's heroic exploits, it made no sense to deflate his own ego right then and there. Thus, for the sake of his vanity, Prince Rong readily agreed.

When Feng Luo collected the Tyrant's blood and returned to the security bureau, the players' expressions were no longer as relaxed as they had been when dividing the loot earlier.

At a little past six o'clock the following morning, He Ning received a phone call. It was from Tang Hongye, who said he hadn't been able to reach Tang Li, so he was calling He Ning instead to inform her that Yang Xiaohui's body might have surfaced.

Even with the "Healing" primeval force activated to its absolute limit, restoring his health pool to 20,000 points, it was still utterly impossible for Feng Luo to withstand the fourth card in this deck.

Her tears washed away half of her false eyelashes, causing them to droop, making her look somewhat unsightly.

She roughly calculated the time in her mind: the next reincarnation mission was two and a half months away. It wasn't a particularly generous amount of time, so it was high time to start making preparations.

On the way to the military camp in Yarrow County, Charlotte had a brief exchange with Idi.

"Sorry to have dragged you over here just to listen to her spout nonsense." Tang Li's expression did not soften in the slightest despite He Ning's attempt to comfort him; it remained intensely gloomy, and even his tone carried a profound heaviness.

Listening to his movements, Chuxin felt a twinge of worry, wondering if he could manage on his own. But the moment she recalled his words from earlier, she let out a cold snort, pulled the blanket back over her head, and went back to sleep. Who cared about him anyway?

"Junior Sister, have you heard? That spiritual vein thief has plundered yet another sixth-grade spiritual vein from a major clan. This is already the sixteenth one he has stolen," said a short, plump young man with a clicking of his tongue, his face displaying a peculiar expression that hovered somewhere between awe and dread.

It turned out that at the very last moment, Hu Youdao had violently shoved Lin Feng away, summoning a disc-shaped magical treasure he had never revealed before and holding it above his head. It blocked the fatal strike of the embroidered ball and deflected the red embroidered ball right back.

Every single one of these demigods had once been a king of kings, bearing the hopes and prayers of trillions of living souls across every realm.

However, if he had also managed to shake off his pursuers, it would definitively prove that his strength wasn't just a fraction greater than Kadi's, but vastly superior.

Thinking of this, she clutched her chest, reached out with a trembling hand to brace herself against the wall, forced her upper body up, and leaned back against it.

Yet, upon closer inspection, one would notice that although Su Xin was currently at a disadvantage and being suppressed by the beast, he was not panicked in the least and remained utterly calm.

Catching sight of that face she had yearned for day and night, Bai Shuirou blushed even more deeply and lowered her head in shyness.

However, for Zhang Fa—no, for Yang Tianbo—he had finally managed to secure an official post, propelling the "Strategist" Zhuge's plan one step further.

Totto inwardly screamed that it was impossible, but the demon wielding the twin swords was undoubtedly Reinhardt, save for the fact that Reinhardt was currently shrouded in a heart-pounding phantom illusion that amplified his strength manifold.

You Li, an elder of a prominent qigong sect, possessed supreme cultivation and profound mastery, placing his strength at least in the top three among everyone present.

"I brought them!" Yi Lianlian pulled the items out of her bag one by one and placed them on Liu Zhao's desk. Liu Zhao merely glanced over the other documents, lingering a bit longer only on the household register.

Bao Xiaoting was quite surprised. This was the first time he had seen Wang Minghan fail since he started following him.

Pan Jingcheng and Qian Shouying hurriedly drove over to the North City Hospital as well. Upon entering, they placed another call to Wu You.

The Prince said nothing more. After bowing to the emperor in farewell, he retraced his steps back along the secret tunnel he had used to arrive.
