Volume One, Chapter Sixty: The Villain Meets His End, Chen Pingchuan Regains His Freedom!

“He refused you?” Chang Mingqi frowned, clearly unaware of the event, and his gaze immediately swept toward Hong’er and Lan’er.

The Shell Star people were stunned, obviously never having seen such a colossal creature; all of them lifted their heads and looked in unison at the divine dragon drifting through the sky.

Hao Zhequan cursed under his breath, but his hand showed no hesitation, delivering another slap to Qian Yibai’s exquisitely made-up face—a slap louder than before, drawing fresh blood from the corner of Qian Yibai’s lips.

Yet, out of fear for the God of Killing’s reputation, no one dared utter a single dissenting word, only silently carrying out his orders.

Half a mask was nothing more than scribblings, writing words that perhaps even he himself didn’t understand.

The Flamboyant Brother knew Mr. Chen had left other instructions, so he took Wang Jing and A Long back to the living room to wait.

Li Yu checked his storage device; he still had several thousand superior Star God Crystals, though it wasn’t enough. Ten thousand inferior Star God Crystals could only be exchanged for a thousand superior ones, clearly insufficient.

I quickly followed his instructions, softening the force within my body, then slowly extended my hand, letting my power flow like a gentle stream, ceaselessly directed toward the stone wall opposite me.

Just as Xiao Fei was pondering his next move, one of his avatars sent a message: he had found the antidote.

Hearing the commotion, Ye Fei decisively stepped forward, swiftly bent to pick up a submachine gun, and fired sideways without hesitation.

Seeing this, Xuan Yan wiped the blood at his lips, flashed a toothy grin, and the Golden Bridge and the Dharma Sword automatically flew back onto his body.

Li Ming desperately racked his brain for a way out, but in the face of absolute strength, strategy was useless.

“So you let Li Ming escape? And he took the Heaven and Earth Thunderfire with him?” Wanyan Honglie demanded.

“Cultivator of the Universe? Source energy?” Shen Yi’s words left Yu Rui perplexed. Sensing Yu Rui’s disbelief, Shen Yi recounted everything about the cultivators, how he met Meile and the others, and the beginnings of his own faction.

Jun Lanxin, hearing this, pressed her lips together, tears once again spilling from her eyes. Witnessing the scene, Shen Yi’s mind went blank, as if the events with Elder Tianxuan and Li Shan were about to repeat themselves.

It struggled to escape, crashing against the formation seal, but with every impact, the seal blazed forth a strong light, scorching its body.

Before him lay only two paths: either submit to the Demon Realm, becoming a puppet army under Chiyou and marching with the demon legions to conquer the Central Plains; or, with a single command from Wuxing, everything he had painstakingly built would turn to ashes in an instant.

After crossing several mountains, Shen Yi finally found a city along the way. With the five-patterned Spirit Crystal Card given by West Fayan, he easily checked into a high-end cosmic hotel.

With a roar, the Blackwater Turtle Dragon stopped straining against the barrier, and mystical spirit patterns emerged on its back, forming an ancient diagram.

Soon after, the Prince of Treasures Zhu Changxiao and Liu Yuan Sheng climbed the tavern stairs and pushed open the door to Li Ming’s private room.

No one could predict the consequences of his actions; in Joey’s view, the outcome would be disastrous.

For reasons unknown, the Tree of Life in his body—which had lost all vitality from Black Rose’s strike—began to glow again as he awakened. Not only that, the tree seemed even more exuberant, its life force flourishing with a boundless vitality.

As the voices sounded, a chill wind slowly drifted through the corridor, sending shivers down the spine and making it clear the enemy was close at hand.

“Divine blood, tiger’s fang!” Hearing this, the White Tiger’s face twisted in agony, turning utterly dark. The blood of a sacred beast was incomparably precious, but remembering this was their clan’s ancestral magic, he immediately came to terms with it.

Mo Ran’s extreme behaviors were merely an outlet for frustration at her own impotence. The person bearing the brunt of their pain didn’t really matter.

“Then I must go—otherwise won’t this wild princess steal my thunder?” Yao’er suddenly changed her mind.

Within this hazy mist, the appearance of that pearl—what could it mean?

Once true energy accumulates to a certain threshold and is combined with a spirit medicine, it becomes easy to break through the barrier between life and death, the so-called ‘Ren and Du Meridians’ often spoken of in martial circles. When that time comes, the world will be his to roam as he pleases.

Under my questioning, Ziju remained silent, her expression unchanged; truly, she was an expert at lying.

Ling Yu hadn’t finished listening to Chen Feng’s words before feeling a warmth spreading in her heart, a happiness blossoming rapidly within. She gazed at Chen Feng, lost in her daze, her eyes shimmering.

Li Hao, thinking of this, forgot all earlier astonishment and began daydreaming.

Don’t be fooled by his current submissiveness; once back in the Imperial Sect, even if he acts up, Liu Ming won’t be able to do anything to him.

“Woof woof woof…” Who would have guessed this silly dog seemed to understand my words, barking at me once more.

Then, a full moon gradually appeared in the clear sky, faintly accompanied by the rise and fall of the blazing sun.

If those Tiger Wolf Society members don’t wish to join Dragon Nation, that’s fine—so long as they stop meddling in the underworld, it won’t affect me at all.

“Well, besides that guy from the Military Police, aren’t there a few navy men? How come they haven’t come out to patrol or anything?” Luke asked curiously, climbing the stairs.

Zhu Chenzhu was right; these two have been guarding me for two days already. If my breathing and heartbeat weren’t normal, they’d have called my parents long ago.
