Chapter 32

She knew it; this Wang Chen must be connected to Zhong Li, and the truth was exactly as she had surmised.

Until he returned to Shrek Academy, he could not fathom why Ning Rongrong’s fourth spirit ring was a black, ten-thousand-year ring.

Abandoning his leisurely stroll, he changed course and headed toward Sun Changbiao’s courtyard.

The flawless divinity contained within the seven-element divine crystal was immense, like a burst dam, pouring forth in a wild, torrential flood.

This was the direct line of the Si family, a prominent clan of Flying Thunder City. Their cultivation was naturally formidable, and even now, in his severely wounded state, the security surrounding him remained top-tier.

The latter could not dodge in time, taking a direct hit from Tu Lan’s head. With a "bang," her head snapped back. Yu Xun'ge felt her brain buzzing and only recovered after a long while. She slowly straightened her head, her eyes dazed, and stared blankly at Tu Lan while clutching her nose, blood trickling slowly through her fingers.

Jiang Lizhou flashed a smile at him, though he felt his own expression looked rather stiff.

Athena, of course, knew that they had merely encountered a third-rate unit from the Cold Nation.

Toilet paper at least has a use, but what is this edict good for? It cannot wipe one's backside, and if you speak of it, no one listens; it is completely useless.

The Dragon Duke snorted, and a greenish dragon from his dragon staff flew out, circling above his head.

Shui Yi cursed, and a bubble formed, perfectly encapsulating the spreading blood mist. In an instant, the bubble turned red, then popped with a "pop." The bloody water dripped away, leaving only clean air behind.

"Senior, it is said that three thousand years ago, the Sect Master of the Greedy Wolf Sect fought a peerless powerhouse from the Mirage Dragon territory and was severely wounded, nearly losing his life. He suffered incurable injuries and could only wait for death, which led to the slow decline of the Greedy Wolf Sect. The Heavenly Cold Sect took the opportunity to rise, and the Heavenly Cold Sect Master is at the peak of the early Quasi-Saint stage."

"Your Majesty is too kind! This humble subject merely did his duty." Li You exchanged a few pleasantries, further winning the favor of Li Longji.

Once Mei Ji recovered from her shock, she immediately worried for Chai Shaoning’s safety. However, judging by the disappearance of that chilling aura, she reasoned that Chai Shaoning must have won the battle, which was why she dared to lead others in to investigate.

Moreover, this bamboo held over a hundred imprints of titled emperors, a significant portion of which were fresh, clearly left by the current emperor.

Sheng Yue sighed and said, "Shaoning, you are tired. Get some rest early!" Having said this, he stood up and walked out the door.

Shi Siwei did not even have time to scream before his body flew backward, landing with a "thud" on the ground, unable to move again.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if you fail the challenge?" Tian Qiong asked, his tone heavy.

At the same time, in the distant Primordial Great Thousand World, within the Forbidden City of the Great Qian Dynasty in the Netherworld, the second avatar was also in seclusion, his cultivation increasing.

The two of them had effectively inherited the legacy of the Green Origin Saint Venerable. Their strength was significantly greater than that of ordinary warriors at the first or second level of the True Spirit Realm; perhaps they even possessed super secret techniques capable of killing him instantly.

When Hui Feng saw that the person supporting him was Xu Zhi, he could no longer hold back; he buried himself in Xu Zhi’s arms and began to sob loudly. Xu Zhi pulled him into a tight embrace, and neither spoke, both weeping in each other's presence.

"..." Morikawa Yoshiko arrived, but seeing so many people, she was unsure if the battle had ended or how to begin her search. Since she could not sense divine power, she simply went to the center of the battlefield, waiting for the five to arrive so she could sense the entire area at once.

He had promised Shen Qing he would not seek out Xun Yi, but watching from the shadows did not count as breaking his word. When he arrived at the competition grounds, the second round was drawing to a close. Xun Yi had not participated in this round because his chosen opponent had withdrawn from the runoff.

He Mengjiao and Xu Zhi were about to turn and leave when they heard a high-pitched, resonant echo from the depths of the dense forest: "Nephew, spare the formalities! Jiang cannot accept such a grand gesture!" He Mengjiao looked around, hearing Jiang Chengfeng’s clear, booming voice coming from the depths of the waterfall, but the gang leader was nowhere to be seen.

When the Left Guli King of the Turks, Ashina Moke, learned of Li Bin’s order to set up camp, he was furious. He personally spurred his horse and charged toward Li Bin, full of bluster.

The trees desire stillness, but the wind will not cease. He wished for peace, but would the Qin and Long families allow it? Would they be content to be relegated to second-rate powers in Jiang City?

"Rest assured, the medical team received the Hokage’s orders and have all been deployed. All the wounded have been located, given emergency treatment, and sent back to the village," the medical personnel reported.

"I haven't even agreed to let you go to the Nanjing Continent! And you want me to make a vow for you?" Yu Chan was so angry she kicked him away.

Luo Ling remained silent, looking at Luo Chenxi with the same cold expression, once again engaging in a silent confrontation.

Along the way, Uchiha Madara and the others analyzed the current situation in the capital, but they could not make sense of it. Why were they so urgently ordered back to the capital branch, and why was the explanation so vague?

Tu Huaqi tried hard to liven up the atmosphere of the celebration dinner, which had been ruined by the appearance of Luo Chenxi and Xia Yunjin. Ke Ziqi seemed to intentionally go along with her, displaying a rare sense of humor that made Tu Huaqi laugh again and again.

However, Ling’er soon calmed down. Logically speaking, Hao Nan was not a reckless person; he would not do something that was tantamount to suicide.

"Understood. You all retreat; I will follow and meet up with you shortly," Ling Xiao said to the microphone hidden in his clothing.

It was not hard to see that the Indian officer had used his night-vision binoculars to discover him and Florence. Because he was Chinese, the officer had shouted, "Don't move!" in Mandarin. It was this single phrase in Mandarin that had deceived two very clever people.

"Boss, how are the other gangs reacting?" the second brother asked suddenly, as if recalling something.
