Volume 1, Chapter 50: Successfully Courting Death

"This—" Hearing this news, not only Wang Shan grew worried, but the other elders also began to murmur in discussion, evidently deeply concerned about the matter.

However, despite Cheng Xin's words, Qin Ming silently made up his mind to wake up a little earlier the next morning to prepare a lunchbox for her. It had been quite a while since he last saw Cheng Xin, and he missed her dearly. Having made this decision, Qin Ming wanted to get to sleep early so he wouldn't fail to wake up the next day.

At that exact moment, a loud commotion broke out outside the dormitory, as if a major incident had occurred, startling the majority of the residents.

The Cloud-Swallowing Mountain hovered at the cave entrance, neither advancing nor retreating, completely blocking the gaping opening to fend off the Fourth Demon King's next wave of attacks.

Aside from sporadic sporadic attacks, Yunqu City remained generally tranquil until a letter from Bao Rui was delivered to the Chu family. Immediately following this, the commands contained within the letter were disseminated, and all soul artifacts associated with the letter chamber rose in price by ten percent.

"I've long heard that the Young Master is lavish and generous with his wealth, but seeing it today almost scared me to death," Wu Fan let out a long sigh of relief after Zhou Wutian departed.

Yet, the fate of the two lackeys on guard atop the tower tonight had long been sealed. Focusing their attention solely ahead, they had no inkling that someone was sneaking up behind them.

Primordial Heavenly Lord, Tathagata Buddha, and others bowed respectfully in succession to the Prime God, Prime Demon, and Xuan Yun. I instructed the imperial chefs to set up a few more tables; guests are guests, and since they have come, we should entertain them properly.

With its base broken, the incense burner tilted to the right. Exactly one hundred and fifty paces outward from where arrows were shot in the hall, landing right at the edge of the steps, the incense burner had been placed upon the steps. Unable to hold its footing, it tipped to the right, caught by the momentum of the arrow wind, and tumbled down the steps, rolling all the way to the bottom. Its ash scattered everywhere, while the ten sticks of incense inside were extinguished beyond any hope of relighting.

Although Zhou Wutian had not sensed anything, an absolute sense of crisis made his hair stand on end. Without a single moment of hesitation, he activated his spatial mark and plunged straight into the Nameless Realm.

Additionally, shoushan stone has a hardness comparable to a human fingernail, and radish-fiber textures can be found within it, which become visible when illuminated by a light.

Such a precious treasure was naturally not something the Corpse Demon Gu Chen would casually abandon. Therefore, while asking aloud, he channeled his magical power frantically into the Lingcui Peak. From the apertures on the peak, two brilliant azure beams shot out like interlocking chains, entangling themselves toward the Taiyi Azure Spirit Bamboo Leaf Divine Talisman.

The strength in his body seemed to be drained away in an instant. He slowly turned his head to meet the breathtakingly beautiful face of this Innate Demon and those eyes brimming with coldness.

"Utterly foolish. While the Myriad Forms Screen is a central magical artifact, its primary function is to guard against external enemies; its internal defense utility is negligible. I truly hope that when Luo Jun successfully refines the Myriad Forms Screen, he won't vomit blood!" Corpse Beauty Cui Ying murmured to herself, a smile, however, blooming across her face.

"I later heard from my mentor that she seems to be Yue Shenli, the controller of the Thirty-Third Silver Moon Gate," Meng Chi said calmly, staring at Qiong Ya to observe his reaction.

Su Chen finally set his mind at ease, raised his hand to press the jade slip against his forehead, and instantly split a wisp of divine consciousness from the spiritual core within his spiritual platform to probe into the slip.

The beast let out a roar toward the sky and lunged ferociously at the youth. Unable to defeat it, Feng Yin could only run, but how could two legs possibly outrun four?

The warm yellow light from the ceiling illuminated her slender figure, casting a momentarily desolate air about her.

"Mn." Xiao Jinxuan nodded, rose from the sofa, paced over to her, and gently reached out to stroke her head.

Yang Jingcheng and Lin Manyun nodded, knowing that Lingyun Peng and his companions were once again heading out on a mission. They offered countless reminders and admonitions to ensure they minded their safety.

The red cloak previously draped over Ansuisi's back was no longer there; he wore only a simple, form-fitting light suit of armor, with an ordinary knight's sword slung at his waist.

Entering the instance dungeon, everyone silently accepted quests from the NPC at the entrance. Turning around, Lu Lingfeng had already vanished. Pursuing him through the door on the right, they only found the ground littered with corpses—some belonging to wolves, others to ghouls.

The golden orb of lightning vanished, and Lin Sangbin had already activated his demonic blood-red eyes to adapt and observe. Immediately afterward, a giant light sword at least a hundred meters long appeared in his vision.

Upon seeing this, Feng Wanli naturally did not decline the courtesy and followed the three master-and-apprentice Taoist priests toward the bustling market town.

Much like how most people see hamsters and think only of how cute they are, utterly failing to imagine that if you keep several in the same cage, they will soon fight each other to the death or even devour their companions?

At the same time, Ling'er behind him suddenly reached out, gently nudged Feng Wanli's arm, and whispered.

However, Mu Qiong knew that neither Jiang Xinchun nor his son Jiang Fengming could be considered good people. To name just one thing, they had always been engaged in the opium trade.

The jade bracelet and pendant Sheng Chaohui had given him were taken directly from the Sheng family's shop. The debt remained unpaid, and Sheng Chaohui's father never mentioned a word of it from start to finish, yet he was determined to repay it.

Proud, noble, and holy, she straightened her posture and naturally followed alongside the crowd, exuding a stern and commanding aura.

"Having walked for so long, I haven't encountered a single trace of human habitation!" Qin Yueer rubbed her arms, trying to keep herself as warm as possible.

The Wood-attribute Saint dropped to the ground. Wu Yingbo extracted the Wood-attribute origin power and gave it to the Chaos System, then sealed the Wood-attribute Saint and tossed him into the Chaos Bead.

"What do you mean by important matters? I'm asking what matter could possibly be more important than seeing her?" Bai Xin asked, feeling choked with frustration.

Ren Tao slowly turned his head to stare at the dry corpse beside him, whose empty eye sockets suddenly flared with a red glow. At that moment, he felt he was doomed and would surely be torn directly to pieces by these dry corpses.

"Today's half-day tour of the Great Wall was truly wonderful. Acquiring traditional Chinese medicine inheritance has provided me with a life-saving skill to face future dangers," Wu Yingbo thought silently.

Green grass and flora were visible everywhere, and in the distance, mountain ranges could be vaguely discerned amidst the overlapping mists.

The colonel did not say much more. He simply glanced over the pile of ingredients behind the other person, walked over to them, pushed aside the ingredients on top, and revealed a large cloth signboard hidden beneath.
