Countless red flares rose into the sky, all signaling danger. This meant that the ironwood boat by the shore had probably run into trouble as well.

I figured that with Old Ghost stepping in, there was no need to worry too much. I glanced outside. The moon was shining brightly. Yesterday had been the fifteenth, the night of the full moon, and tonight its light was still nearly as round.

“Brother Tiancheng—no, from now on I should call you Brother Unflappable. I can understand why you weren’t nervous before, but even at a time like this, you can still remain this calm. I’m utterly convinced!” Jack made a gesture for him to lie down and continued speaking.

Her kick struck empty air. Huo Jiajia’s brows furrowed slightly as a strange force seized her ankle and viciously dragged her toward the depths of the lake.

“Eek, eek!” A sound resembling a monkey’s cry came from the training room where Tiancheng was staying. It was made by the mutated magical beast, the Woodspirit Ape. It had come to ask Tiancheng for food.

The idiot stared blankly at Sihan and said, “What a pity, what a pity indeed. The ghost in the mirror is coming; your soul will be scattered at the Yin-Yang Terrace.”

Countless humanoid clouds of white mist gathered together, forming grotesque ghost faces as they roared toward the Coldwater Pool, seemingly venting the resentment and hatred in their hearts. Several of the humanoid mists even tried to approach the formation, but after taking only a few steps, they vanished. Seeing this, all the humanoid mists retreated.

After hearing his arrangements, those officials eagerly seized project after project capable of increasing their political achievements. Master Long had now become the hottest figure in both political and entertainment circles.

“Then I’ll place you in my energy-sea space now, so you can recover as soon as possible,” Li Shaoyu said solemnly.

Only after recently stepping down from his position as sect leader did he return to the Xu family. More than a decade had passed in the blink of an eye.

The energy and laws that had lost their restraints transformed into endless gray mist, enveloping the entire world. Even the cities protected by flames were buried beneath the thick fog. Only at noon would a few rays of sunlight pierce through its confinement and illuminate the tip of the highest tower.

Although Cassie had said that their mission progress had been preserved, the feeling of being forcibly interrupted was truly unpleasant.

Back in reality, Yi Chenghui slowly opened his closed eyes. He saw a white ceiling and realized that he was lying in bed, every injured part of his body wrapped in white bandages.

Although the overall attribute increase was only ten percent, the additional skills were worthy of silver-grade equipment.

“Senior Baili! Senior Baili!” Ye Ziyu and the others surrounded him in a panic. Han Chunxiu had already fallen, and even Baili Fei had passed out. If Yang Feng came after them now, how could any of them survive?

“Honestly, this is proof that you let your guard down. It’s good that you’re all right. No matter what condition you’re in, the first thing you should do is make contact. If you’re safe and sound, I can breathe a sigh of relief; if you’re seriously wounded, I’ll be worried.”

Turning in midair, Nectroth suddenly thrust out his right leg and kicked NEXUS, who had no time to defend himself. The explosive force sent him flying.

The entrance to Demon City University was already packed with people. Every department had pushed several tables together, securing a bamboo pole to either side and hanging banners bearing their department names above them. The whole scene was bustling with noise and excitement.

Isu had not sensed the presence of deathly energy. After all, his mental strength was no different from that of an ordinary person. However, he could feel its effect on his body. Ever since the caravan had approached the old battlefield, he had constantly felt a chill burrowing into him, and he had already sneezed countless times along the way.

The section chief said, “Those people at police headquarters are certainly not incompetent... though there are some bastards among them who have accepted bribes.”

“Qiqi, Li Mo, a head is a fine thing to have, and so is intelligence. Not everyone possesses the latter, but I think you really ought to have a little more of it.”

“Master, you flatter me. I know exactly how capable I am. You give me far too much credit!” Han Hao knew at once what sort of wicked scheme the man had in mind.

Inside the eighth level of the Celestial Prison, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing gazed sorrowfully at the Four Heavenly Kings, who were immersed in Weak Water alongside him.

“Ahem, well, forgive me for making a fool of myself in front of you, Mr. Wang. Let us get back to the matter at hand.” Hearing this, Li Zicheng’s smug expression immediately froze. He spoke with considerable embarrassment.

“Hum.”

The instant Han Hao closed his eyes, all the acupoints throughout his body opened simultaneously. The surrounding spiritual energy surged into him like a swarm of bees. Han Hao hurriedly devoted part of his attention to controlling the speed at which it entered his body. His injuries had not yet fully healed; absorbing too much spiritual energy at once would only have the opposite effect.

After this incident, Shen Moran often went to see Su Miyu. Yet whenever Su Miyu looked at him, she could only think of what had happened that day, and fear would involuntarily rise within her heart.

He was not a Xikayan. One year, he was brought back to the imperial capital by the red-robed archbishop of the Xikaya Church, and from then on he settled in Xikaya.

The power was truly overwhelming and unstoppable. Carrying the force of thunder, Anan swept through everything in his path and instantly pierced the curtain of light before Fang Yi.

There was no need to hurry, though. Although Devil Fruits were worth hundreds of millions of beli on the market, they rarely circulated publicly. A large portion of them was controlled by the powerful Celestial Dragons of the pirate world.

After Duke Lime helped him eliminate his rival for the position of commander of the Knights, he rose to the position without a hitch, becoming the young, promising, and glorious commander of the Knights—and Duke Lime’s loyal dog.

Angel finally understood. Luo City had been brought there by her, and she herself was a member of the Black Angels. Lu Yan had spoken that way for her own good.
