Volume 1, Chapter 38: Could This Also Be Considered a Form of Retribution?

"Sima Lang, Duke Wucheng has treated you well; why do you choose to rebel?" Hao Zhao shouted from behind the shield wall during a brief lull in the arrow rain.

Everyone nodded solemnly. The name "Blood-Melting Adept" was well-known to them; he was a rank-one-hundred demonic cultivator on the wanted list, notorious for his monstrous power. It was said he had once slaughtered an entire city of hundreds of thousands to refine the Blood God Pill and increase his cultivation, a level of cruelty that was truly hair-raising.

Xiao Qing'er watched everything unfold. Her smile faded slightly, and she lowered her head in silence, as if the latter's answer had not satisfied her.

Sure enough, the very next moment, the characters shattered, transforming into a sky full of light that drifted and scattered. The imprisoned dark gold roc let out an angry screech, and strands of razor-sharp demonic energy, like blades, instantly shredded the surrounding infinite clouds.

"Cough, cough, that was just me getting familiar with the terrain in preparation for the coming battle. How could you mortals understand?" Bai Sen forced a defense, though it was met only by two pairs of skeptical eyes.

"Hmph, that long-eared thief is indeed cunning. Order Ma Chao not to attack the city; we shall deliberate further once Qu Yi’s vanguard arrives," Han Wei commanded.

Black-Face and his companions quickly agreed, not daring to say another word. Black-Face took the items handed to him by the Judge, and then the Judge departed the Ghost Realm with his two ghostly escorts.

Initially, they had been terrified of You Jingyan and Liu Feng, figures who existed only in rumor.

To put it broadly, this constituted intentional injury; under serious circumstances, a sentence of several years or even a decade was not out of the question.

As for Ye Chen, the person involved, he had long since moved away from the scene and arrived before a massive meteorite.

However, such matters were difficult to verify. The Scarlet Flame Sect had existed in the cultivation world for countless years, and since the sect itself had never acknowledged it, everyone could only treat it as a legend.

"Warrior, calm down, calm down." Asumu had not expected Mu Yufei’s jumping and mobility to be so formidable.

Sheng Ruxi comforted Lu Xingchen. She could tell that although he was able to live here, there were still some details he found difficult to adapt to.

Duan Xu thought to himself that, at least in his view, the team led by Huang Shi was quite well-rounded, consisting of warriors, superhumans, and spirit-users.

"A savior... I haven't thought about that, but I have indeed thought that if everyone is willing to trust me, I will find a way for them to survive," Ling Yi said.

Only such a tall and magnificent gatehouse could match the world-conquering ambition in Zhu Youxiao’s heart.

Arriving at the office center, she clapped her hands. Everyone, who had been focused on their work, looked up at Sheng Ruxi upon hearing the sound, wondering what their boss was about to announce.

"I am willing to help Mommy with her work." Jinse knew that if she traveled through time, there wouldn't be much time left to spend with her parents. She would likely end up in a coma just like Zhou Zimu.

"Slow down, slow down!" Liu Yunlong, hearing those sounds, grabbed the handle above the car door in a daze.

That was Qin Lang's arm; it was Qin Lang who had protected her once again. However, before Ouyang Chunhua could feel lucky, her face instantly turned awkward.

Of course, he would not—and dared not—seize it by force. After all, this was his master’s legacy, and Long Chi and Long Ling were the closest people he had in the world; he could not let the sect or the inheritance damage the bond between brothers.

Liu Qingqing lay by her office door. Since her office was the closest to the main entrance, she was the first to hear their conversation. At that moment, she was watching the entrance nervously, clutching her phone tightly, ready to call the police if anything went wrong.

This discovery made her extremely shy, and she punched Qin Lang hard on the forehead.

"Ouyang Man, you're wrong there. Qi Anna actually started out as a singer." Clearly, Wu Hui knew a bit more.

In the end, under the stern verbal warning of Yu Lanting, Chen Qingdi put on a bathrobe and, after a simple wash, pulled Yu Lanting downstairs to dine.

According to historical records, the longest-living Undying Fire Phoenix existed long before humanity. It traversed the eternal void, only to suffer a backlash from the Great Dao while attaining sainthood, eventually falling within the Dao Realm.

Hearing this, I felt a jolt of shock in my heart. That Daoist temple? Now, I seem to understand a little about why the ten evil towers exist.

Wang Yu saw a large hole broken into the ice on the ground in the distance, and a three-to-four-meter-tall beast leaped out and sprang into the sky.

Our ancient Sage Emperors severed the connection between heaven and earth and separated humans from gods to protect humanity, while the Western Divine Kingdoms dedicated themselves to having gods walk among men.

Before long, a soldier brought over a man in his forties who, upon seeing Liu Feng and the others, burst into loud sobs.

As dust rose to the heavens, deafening footsteps accompanied the slow movement of the military formation. New-style chariots and heavy crossbows from the rear supply train were moved behind the archers, and the soldiers holding shields at the front knelt one after another, concealing themselves behind their shields.

Yinxing and Yinchen exchanged glances and followed them out. This left a room full of bewildered people and the still-confrontational Muron Tianyu and Wuhe Yunjian.

For the sake of Cola... it was a good thing that Lion-Tiger-Tiger wasn't angry, but why did it sound so strange?

As the catapults and heavy crossbows unleashed their power, the heavy armored cavalry that had crested the wave of arrows and reached within seventy paces of the village entrance began to suffer casualties.
