Mission 20

No one knew who had made the move, as Wang Gui had not revealed the news of his mother’s kidnapping. He feared alerting the enemy prematurely, lest the rogue act rashly and put his mother in greater danger.

A shocking scene unfolded, frightening both the children and the digital beasts. Atop the mountain stood a towering black figure, hundreds of meters high—this creature was the Demon Beast, having absorbed all the dark energy from Fairy Isle.

The octopus still did not understand the meaning behind my words, but in my heart, I was simply trying to say something to prevent these two men from sensing our intention to confront them. If they fled, it would be a wasted effort.

Lin Xiu was suddenly startled, never expecting Hu Xiu to strike so suddenly, and he had no awareness of the move at all.

Elder brother bitterly shook his head, placing a hand on Master Wu’s shoulder and pulling him close.

“Madolram, is your obsession with the path of the Asura for this very reason?” the Sage Ge Wei asked.

Foolish brother could tell without looking that the owner of this hand was undoubtedly a formidable figure.

After getting off the plane, it was the short-haired girl who came to pick us up. Since school started the next day, she suggested we have a night out where we wouldn’t return sober.

They were only a hair’s breadth away from death; if they were taken to the Pokémon Center any later, they would surely perish.

The soldiers of the Uesugi clan were already showing signs of disarray—the formation bore clear flaws and their steps faltered.

As the group walked away, the scarlet robe gleamed with a golden brilliance under the sun, exuding an extravagant, almost flamboyant air.

“Why?” they could not understand why the dormant volcanoes suddenly became so volatile, splitting the island apart.

His commercial rivalry with Chen Zhengde revolved around the development rights of that riverside property. Whoever secured that land was bound to reap great profits.

It must be said, upon hearing those two words, the fighters paused—the title “Heavenly King” was overwhelmingly awe-inspiring, far surpassing even the Demon Emperor.

Just as Marco Polo was about to take down Taiyi Zhenren, a figure suddenly darted out—it was Li Bai, who had been hiding all along.

Sunlight streamed through the window into Chu Han’s room. He opened his eyes, his mind weighed down by a hangover as if a lead block had been planted there.

What was notable about those thirteen pieces of military-grade weaponry was that the heroes could not use army equipment. Similarly, soldiers could not wield equipment designed for heroes and players.

Gao Changgong ladled one dumpling after another for her to eat. The hawthorn flavor was sweet and sour, whetting her appetite, though he himself did not eat a single one.

The pace was utterly despairing. Then, the red greatsword slammed onto Qin Tian’s seal, leaving Ye Fan dumbfounded.

“All right.” Cao Rong replied confidently, along with Liu Shijie and Yu Ji. He and his Li Bai had been anticipating this for a long time.

Those who reached this level had their merits—strong charisma, and being young, it was beneficial to learn and communicate more. He enjoyed attending such gatherings, not for money but for the experience.

Hu Jianmin curiously opened the rosewood ink box himself. His expression changed instantly; he quickly donned gloves and picked up a magnifying glass to examine it carefully. Ling Tiancheng gave Wen Yiming a knowing glance and leisurely sipped his tea.

It was as expected—landlords were usually from great clans, and nearly every great clan was a landlord. That was undeniable; after all, without land, what would you eat?

The door to the large office in Teaching Building No. 3 stood open. Lan Jue had finally found the place after searching the vast campus. His permanent bicycle had proven quite a strain.

Although some still doubted, Lu Jue’s status as Crown Prince of Great Qi was by now an indisputable imperial decree. When Zhu Chen caused a commotion, it was a direct slap in his face, signaling that no matter who the emperor recognized, everyone needed to understand who truly held authority here.

In the blink of an eye, Golden Horn appeared before the incense burner as if teleporting. Within thirty seconds, it had consumed all the calming incense inside, causing great distress to the onlookers.

“Young Marshal, you have truly not disappointed me.” The lady herself came to the city gate to welcome Hu You.

Lin Yue was momentarily stunned, silently realizing he had only just remembered that the East Territory’s ruler was none other than the Great Venerable of Eastern Huang.

“Telekinesis!” Chen Qichun’s smile instantly froze, and his gaze toward Hu You changed. The servant who had just been whipped looked at Hu You in disbelief. None of them had ever imagined Hu You possessed such a power.

Yet he understood this was nearly impossible. Given the current situation, all hope had to rest on the defenders of Jiangling and on Taishi Ci and Liu Qi.

Zhu Shaoshao’s words stirred something in Jiang Yun’s heart, leaving him uncertain of the other’s true intentions.

Just as he murmured to himself, the few exchanged glances and silently departed.

As long as Jiang Yun remained missing, and his safety uncertain, this pressure would never dissipate.
