Chapter 79

The strength of the Celestial Star Sect was comparable to that of the Soaring Dawn Gate. Even if the Celestial Star Sect had people in hiding, there weren’t many, and in a battle like this, there was simply no need for concealment.

Moreover, what truly caught them off guard was how decisively the other side struck, without a hint of hesitation, treating them as if they were nothing.

Baili Dengfeng sighed inwardly, his face full of helplessness. Then, with a leap, he landed back on the ground.

“Demon Lord, you are going too far!” Supreme Lord Burial Sky roared again and again. The massive blade-shaped tomb burst into flames, transforming into a gigantic ghostly fire that surged toward the Demon Lord. In the next instant, it tore open space itself, attempting to escape.

Only after Li Cheng had repeatedly confirmed and reassured them did the tension among the three finally subside. With their perspectives shifted, when they looked at Heijin again, their gazes were utterly different from before.

Kong Xuan, while seeking enlightenment, had not neglected his cultivation. When he aided the Human Emperor in achieving his great work, he borrowed merit to slay the Metal Corpse, one of the Five Elemental Corpses. Now, in his travels among mortals, he had also vanquished the Wood Corpse. Thus, Kong Xuan’s power had reached the middle stage of Quasi-Saint.

They ventured ever deeper, and along the way, encountered formidable aberrant demons, suffering heavy casualties. In the end, only three survived—himself among them.

At this very moment, had any sect master or disciple from another sect witnessed this scene, they would have been utterly astounded. After all, this was the Chief of the Sect Administration Office, a figure at the Fifth Heaven, yet he was speaking to the head of a mere second-tier sect with such respect and even a tone of consultation—no one would believe it if word got out.

Ling Duyu asked Shizuka Yamashita a few questions about her headache, then had her lie down on the sofa. He placed his hand on the top of her head, where a divine spark resided within his palm. The moment Ling Duyu’s hand touched her, Shizuka Yamashita lost consciousness.

Chen Zheng caught the falling Wen Qiao, his strength surging through his entire body as he snapped the strap slung over Wen Qiao’s shoulder. Then, he leapt up, vanishing into the forest like a shadow.

Now, however, with Feng Rong gone and Lie Changtian seeking revenge, Luo Jinghuang found himself in an awkward position.

“I’ll make a call—wait a moment,” Lin Fan said, removing his headset. He picked up his phone and dialed Madrid.

“Don’t worry. If Shen Kun truly has powerful backers, I’ll handle it. All you need to know is that I’m your supporter—and I’m far stronger than his,” Lin Chen said with confidence.

If these materials were sent back to the company higher-ups, jaws would surely drop. At the same time, it would showcase his excellent crisis management skills. Given how much the company valued Shishi, handling this matter flawlessly might not guarantee a promotion, but a raise was all but certain.

The reason for building the hospital wasn’t just to explain why he didn’t buy the dog—it was also to enlist Ma Feng’s help. His official power was immense, and he could be of great assistance with the hospital project.

He believed Yao Chengang understood his intentions. Yao Chengang was briefly taken aback, then nodded and spoke directly.

While Lin Chen was engaged in a perilous fight with Soul Snatcher, Xiao Yun’er was rushing home with the driver as her hostage. She was both terrified and anxious, her hands trembling for fear that Lin Chen might come to harm.

Qin Tianjue’s other crafted martial spirit was the Illusory Wind Plume, imbued with the marks of wind, agility, and speed.

“How can we reclaim our standing?” she wondered, just as news arrived that Lu Xuan, disciple of Master Physician Zhou Renxin, had come to diagnose her grandfather.

“So many accidents!” Dai Ruoying was deeply displeased, but could not vent her anger. The ‘old senior’ Dai Xianwei mentioned was a high-ranking general—she might be ignorant, but she dared not lose her temper.

A Dao-Integrating Saint stood a whole realm above ordinary saints, let alone one who could annihilate five quasi-saints.

Yunlong Tian had assumed that the commotion was also caused by the shadowy figure, but the present situation made it clear he was mistaken; this was certainly a patterned activity.

“No, I just wanted to enjoy the evening breeze,” Yin Xue replied, her beautiful eyes glancing up.

With all his worries resolved, Ye Lei could finally return home for a good night’s sleep.

He was now extremely close to the entrance of the ruins, halfway up the mountain, from where he had a clear view of the valley below—yet saw no one.

My mind was instantly filled with a thousand curses—was it really necessary for a soul cultivator and ghost breeder to be so reckless?

The power of Zhiling City extended across the entire central region. If anyone crossed them, they would never let it go.

Pangu shook his head slightly—he had already summoned his Heaven-Opening Axe. If the other side truly intended to let them go, they wouldn’t have trapped them here.

As everyone was drawn by Chen Bin’s words, a member of the scout team sent a warning. All eyes turned to see the giant bear charging toward them, leaving a crimson trail in its wake.

The Dragon Pattern Flying Boat was incredibly fast; in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it had already flown out of Qingyang Town and soared above the vast primeval forest.

Those jumping and sniping techniques had once been his secret weapon, but in Wang Yue’s hands, they became as useless as scrap metal.

Yuer stretched out her leg and gently kicked Erya’s backside. Erya giggled beneath the covers, probably woken by the two’s lively collision.

Now, Wang Yue was the golden signboard of Youth University. Every day, many students transferred there just because of him. One could imagine what a surge of new students there would be at the next enrollment.
