Chapter 58 Catching River Eels

At the conclusion of this meeting, the plan to attack Stratholme was finally confirmed, albeit with slight modifications. The Crusaders and the Argent Dawn would concentrate all their paladins and priests and advance toward the outskirts of Stratholme to assess the situation inside before deciding whether to send regular soldiers into the city.

That wasn't the main reason, was it? Ye Chen offered a faint smile for a moment, while Dong Yueran simply assumed he was tacitly agreeing.

Ye Chen, Lin Ling, and Puyang Jing all looked at Drunk Immortal at the same time, roughly guessing what he was going to say next.

Not expecting so many people to be waiting at the entrance upon emerging from seclusion, Siling couldn't help but marvel at the hospitable warmth of the Xianbei people. Looking closer, however, she noticed that the great Xianbei general was clearly holding Jinrou's hand.

Yet Ye Chen was unable to retrieve any of his identification information, just like back in the Nine Heavens Hall, where the events that had occurred there could strangely not be reproduced.

Immediately afterward, he looked down at the plaza below. By this time, Xuanye, Xue Tianhan, and Huo Yuanji, who had been in the inner chambers, had also heard the commotion and hurried over.

Since they were newcomers and their identities were unknown to the temple keeper before them, the person the temple keeper feared was definitely not any of them.

Baili Xiren shook his head, sighed, and tried to dissuade him. Ding Bu'er was unaware of the special nature of this place, but Baili Xiren was well aware of the unfathomable depths of the Forsaken God Mountain. It was a place harboring immense terror; if the Wind-Howling Valley was a forbidden zone where buried bones were sealed away, then the Forsaken God Mountain could be considered a forbidden zone for the entire netherworld, absolute and unparalleled.

Huang Kaijing turned around in surprise. When he had approached the tavern, he had already noticed this oddball huddled in the corner drinking from a thermos, but he hadn't paid much attention—after all, not only people from China had yellow skin and black hair.

Ding Bu'er pondered for a moment. Although the murderous intent on his face faded, his tone remained indifferent as he coldly rejected the priest's request.

An angry roar snapped Xiang Lai out of her contemplation. It was a voice she would never forget—Old Madam Ling's voice. But who was she scolding?

Thus, finding it difficult to object, Gong Shiqin agreed to split them into two groups: four on his side and three on Qi Chengwu's side.

Hearing this, Yue Longtian couldn't help but recall what Sun Daomin had told him earlier. Sun Daomin had claimed that Yue Shenglong came to the capital entirely because he had been spreading rumors throughout the martial arts world about Yue Shenglong secretly learning the martial arts techniques of various sects, thereby forcing Yue Shenglong into the capital. It seemed that statement wasn't entirely true either.

Monk Jiukong flashed aside, grabbed a royal sister, and laughed, "Sister, don't be impulsive." Just at that moment, a colorful divine arrow pierced through her throat, and this sister collapsed in a pool of blood once more. Monk Jiukong sat heavily on the ground. He had tried to dissuade two of them, and both were now dead, leaving him to ponder whether he should bother trying to persuade any more.

I had always been adept at exploiting loopholes. Of course he hadn't heard my cat-like meow; just as I was about to slip away, I suddenly remembered the sound of the door slamming shut a moment earlier. I admit I am fine in every other aspect, except for being plagued by a curiosity that easily overrode everything else.

"Damn it, making it look like a kidnapping for ransom," Yuan Hua muttered softly under his breath after listening.

The divine fist illusion blazed with a light that illuminated the heavens, pressing directly toward the old man in the red robe. As the supreme leader of the Mo family and a veteran of countless battles, a flash of astonishment crossed the old man's eyes, but without the slightest hesitation, he continued to retreat rapidly.

Suddenly, a brilliant white light burst forth from his chest, and in an instant, a fierce tiger broke through the void, roaring up at the sky.

Leng Yan grabbed a mouthful of snow and put it in his mouth to lower his internal energy, then grabbed several more handfuls of snow and piled them onto the areas of his body radiating the most energy. He had wanted to bury himself entirely in the snow, but there was no time left, so this was all Leng Yan could manage.

First came an oppressive sensation in terms of aura, robbing one of even a shred of resistance, as if everything was about to be destroyed and cease to exist entirely! It shattered the enemy's willpower at the conscious level, stripping away their fighting spirit.

6-Zheng sneered, extending five fingers that transformed into a hand blotting out the sky, pressing down fiercely like a collapsing firmament.

To Feixue's bewilderment, before her words had even finished trailing off, the soldiers all looked at her with expressions of mingled laughter and tears.

At this moment, Du Qi let out an angry roar, and his long sword shot out of its own accord, heading straight toward the dark shadow. A heaven-shaking sword radiance pierced directly through the shadow.

Hong Tian guessed that perhaps in other realms, there were worlds similar to the Great Thousand World, but those worlds had already broken the rules and entered the immortal realm.

Qiao Luoqie retreated in panic and said, "Let's leave this place first!" Lianshu refused to yield, rushing over to untie his garments. Unable to resist her, Qiao Luoqie had no choice but to take off his outer robe. Lianshu said, "Just let me see." Helpless, Qiao Luoqie slowly removed his undergarment.

"So young?" This was Lusize's first thought, which was immediately followed by a sense of absurdity. He had forgotten that he himself was actually only around seventeen or eighteen years old. Catching his first glimpse of Lin Lin walking out, he felt as though his worldview had encountered some problems.

The three demonic spawn appeared once again at the main entrance of the auction house. The lower demon extended a hand, and the auction house doors opened automatically as if controlled by someone.

"Is that so? Then there's no help for it." Lilith also understood Yechen's personality. In terms of keeping promises, Yechen did an exceptionally good job, and she knew there was simply no way to make him agree otherwise. Her gaze shifted to Bai Ji and Lihua Zou nearby.

"This Sejuani's evasion in this wave was superb! True to being an experienced God Guo, this positioning was in a blind spot completely undetected by the ward!" Bao Bao exclaimed in admiration. Such meticulous details could only be executed by a seasoned veteran; ordinary professional junglers would find it hard to be that precise.
