Chapter 37

"Because the Demon Statue from beyond the heavens is within you—is that reason enough?" Zixiao retorted impatiently.

Colonel Ikeda fell to the ground. He picked up his severed arm and grafted it back onto the stump. With a display of supernatural power, the arm miraculously grew back, a technique akin to the "Dead Wood Meets Spring" art practiced by cultivators of the East.

This eerie force swept continuously through the strange land, causing everyone to fluctuate between infancy and old age.

Long Ye felt a secret chill. If so many powerful beings and immortal beasts could not stop this entity... what could it possibly be?

The commanding general frowned. His cultivation was extraordinary, reaching the peak of the Primordial Spirit stage, and he radiated a terrifying aura of slaughter.

"Remember," Tiberon said languidly, "whenever someone offers you such favorable terms, you must have a clear understanding that they may be offering them simply because they never intend to fulfill them."

"Instructor Zhang was driving when Zhou Yunmo, driving his sports car, ignored the traffic rules and nearly caused an accident with the instructor's vehicle. Not only did Zhou Yunmo refuse to apologize, but he also got out and angrily accused Instructor Zhang, hurling insults at him..." Sikong Wan'er paused.

After asking Man Yi, Ji Tian learned that the Sun-Chasing Tribe lived on the ocean floor. Their people could breathe underwater, and they were the easternmost tribe in the Pangu Cave Heaven, hence the name Sun-Chasing Tribe.

Like other undead creatures, as long as its soul fire was not extinguished, a bone dragon could continuously repair its injuries, ensuring it maintained sufficient combat power.

Long Ye was slightly stunned. Squinting into the distance, he realized the outline of the water body was shaped like a green lotus. At the center of the lotus, layers of spiritual water surged, remarkably clear.

"Her Grace, Duchess Selina, is a Grand Vampire and the supreme ruler of the Eastern Continent," Li Si reminded him.

From the moment Zhang Qingfeng saved him, Wang Long had decided to go through fire and water for his benefactor. Though his methods were excessive, his intentions were entirely for Zhang Qingfeng's sake. Now that his lowly life had been saved twice, how could he have the face to refuse?

Seeing this, Zhang Qingfeng laughed heartily and accepted Wu Qing's gesture. He took the Tassel Sword; although the blade had offered itself, he still owed a debt of karma to the late senior Xifuzi. Now that he had settled it through Wu Qing, the matter was resolved.

"Ya, sister, what do you think my husband meant?" Lin Yiyi was still confused. Lu Ya seemed to understand: "Yiyi, I think he means he wants us to use this incident to see where the other managers stand."

She sighed, her head tilting slightly toward the palace gate as if waiting for news from Eunuch Zhao and Qu Qingwen.

"Han Junxi, I told you long ago to treat Wu Yishuang well. And yet, you have hurt her like this. You have hurt her enough. I must knock you down."

The two exchanged few words, their actions so casual, as if they had experienced such things many times before.

Uncle Xiang glared at Lan Jinyi with a stern face: "Unseemly." Yet, he did not push away the hands she had wrapped around his neck.

Wu Yishuang shifted her watery eyes. Han Junxi knew she was plotting something; she wanted to visit Mount Huafeng, but even with him standing right in front of her, she did not look at him once.

Hidden among the dense trees was a stilt house. Criminals armed with heavy weaponry held hostages, firing recklessly at the advancing special operations team.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, everyone finally focused their attention. Indeed, the ghost looked no different from a human.

The quilt that was meant to prevent exposure had now become like a rope, leaving Hao Xin with no escape, forced to accept her fate.

"Whether it is or isn't, it doesn't matter. The Soul Jade is complete because of him, and the mission of the Temple will surely be tied to him. So, even if he carries a thousand secrets, it is no surprise. In the future, everything is possible, and everything is in flux," the Palace Master of Heaven proclaimed mysteriously.

Seeing this, the other monkey did not show weakness. Using almost the exact same technique as the first, it lunged from the ground and leaped onto another large tree.

Ming He, relying on his status as the eternal second-place on the War Ranking and assuming his boss was absent, charged confidently toward Gao Wen, only to be blocked halfway by a strange shadow. Looking up, he realized it was his actual boss.

The Qilin ring on Yun Xuan's finger was shining with a dazzling light, like a natural source of illumination, looking exceptionally bizarre.

"Let's rest here for a moment. No more waiting, we go straight into the cave!" Manshan Hong said with firm resolve.

Guo Cai had no choice. She knew full well that if she didn't speak, the people around her—men with eyes glowing like hungry wolves—would not be kind to her.

After many attempts, just as Zhao Tianhe was about to give up, his outstretched hand felt the resistance suddenly, inexplicably vanish.

Before that, the elite disciple of the Divine Fire Sect had his spellcasting interrupted by Tushan Hong. The flames burning on him were extinguished, just as they were for the two elite disciples who had exploded on the spot.

"Rest easy for now? And what about later?" the Town Master asked, his impatience evident.

"Alright, alright, I won't go." *As if,* Lin Xiyao thought to herself, secretly sticking out her tongue.

Even Jia Yue had never seen such a formation; it felt as if the very heavens and earth of the Netherworld were being subsumed into this crushing pressure.

The combination of elements derived infinitely, creating the rich and colorful myriad things of the natural world.

Hearing this, Zhou You's face changed instantly. Listening to Tian Xuanzi, it seemed he was very familiar with the other three secret medicines.

For a time, the two sides clashed violently. Facing the frenzied charge of the Bear Clan, the giant flying bats used their "wing-soaring" maneuver repeatedly, maintaining a superior position and fully exploiting their advantage of being impossible to kill.

Qianqian looked at Fei Fengling's handsome face and listened to his glib persuasion. Even though she knew he was lying, she gradually loosened her grip on her sword, glared at Qin Yuchuan, and with a cold snort, turned and left with her maid.

Zhou You had respected Old Master Mu only because of his age; if the old man tried to rely on his seniority to bully him, Zhou You would not give him any face.

Xu Yue heard the two of them finalize a deal of nearly one hundred million as if they were chatting about nothing, as if it were child's play.
