33 Clues

"It is because our ancestors decreed that we wait here for the command of the royal family and were forbidden from ascending to the surface. Therefore, it is only natural that we remain ignorant of affairs in the outside world," the leader explained.

The defenders on the city walls cheered, the entire city of Muyun enveloped in the joy of victory. This battle would surely go down in history as a legend.

"I am going now; I shall return to keep you company later, Mistress," Lin Zhuo replied crisply, turning and fleeing as if for his life. If he did not leave at once, Lian'er's glare would surely skewer him.

Budugen spurred his horse forward. Only by risking his own life could He Gui protect him from the volley of arrows, but in doing so, he took two hits himself. The moment they cleared the kill zone, he tumbled from his horse and fell into a dead faint.

"Eighth brother, she is not dead yet. Strike her again!" King Lu San pointed at Shen Meijia, who lay on the ground, and shouted once more.

Talon made his move. Selecting a target—a Demon King—he unleashed his ultimate ability. His body vanished into stealth, and the blades upon his person hovered and scattered throughout the air.

Ding Li said with satisfaction, "Then let us depart now." He summoned Hui Mei, instructing her to stay at their lodging and wait for Li Xin. Then, accompanied by Mu Guiying and Tang Sai'er—both disguised in men's attire as traveling merchants—he left their hideout and headed toward Baling.

At this moment, Chen Mei was in a foul mood. She had imagined her wedding day would be a grand and glorious affair. Her family had approved of the match, and she had given her word that everything would go perfectly. Yet, trouble had struck at the very first stage of the procession, leaving her heart in a state of chaotic agitation.

"Indeed, your guess is entirely correct. For many years, no one has entered this place. It was only after waiting so long that so many arrived at once, and so I remained here, waiting for someone filled with righteousness to enter," Wushuang nodded and said.

Finally, Tian Xie brought Lang Fei before a massive stone gate. After Tian Xie pushed the heavy doors open with great effort and triggered a hidden mechanism, a colossal stone staircase appeared before Lang Fei.

To tell the truth, Zhang Zhijie was somewhat perplexed. Although many commoners in Fujian had been deceived by the Xia family's charitable acts, those in official circles could not possibly be ignorant of the family's true nature; they were merely using the Xia family for their own ends.

In a private villa in California, USA, Yun Cheng lay on his bed, his body swathed in layers of bandages, reading a newspaper with a faint smile on his lips. It was his third day of consciousness after five days in a coma.

Inner demons usually hide within the deepest obsessions of a person, as this makes them the hardest for the individual to detect. They slowly gain control over the person without them even realizing it.

Di Shitian was not surprised. He mounted the Ancient Divine Vulture and gave a gentle signal. The creature understood his intent, and with a thunderous roar, it vaulted into the air, spread its giant wings, and with a single flap, soared several miles away.

Li Dongsheng finished speaking and departed with great speed, disappearing from everyone's sight in a few bounds.

"You may all come out now. Did you really think I wouldn't notice you standing so close?" Fang Cheng called out to the empty ground in the distance with a smile.

Draining the fine wine from his glass, Fang Cheng rose to settle the bill, preparing for what was to come.

"I agree, but we must not lag behind in public opinion. We must seize the moral high ground and win the sympathy of the international community, especially that of the African nations," Yuan Guoping chimed in to remind him.

The enemy of one's enemy is a friend, and if they are friends, cooperation is possible. Collaborating with domestic agents was risky for fear of exposure, but working with these people was different. Since everyone shared the same goal, joining forces would surely yield far greater power, would it not?

The caller was not joking; this was no trick by Yin Jie. Yin Jie had been captured; the voice coming through the receiver was impossible to forge.

The boys from the Crescent Anime Club had been observing Sha Sha ever since they were at headquarters. Not only was Sha Sha sweet and beautiful, but she also had a stunning figure. However, what frustrated them was that Sha Sha was always with Lin Dongyang, leading them to assume the two were a couple; consequently, they had not ventured to strike up a conversation with her.

Lin Dongyang also looked toward Mu Siqi on the stage. He had to admit that in her sexy attire, she was captivating. With her lovely face and fiery physique, she was the sort of woman who often stirred the fantasies of men—creatures driven by their eyes—and as a man, he was naturally no exception.

After Huangpu Yi and the man in black clashed, Feng Wu and Jiang Haoyu were not idle. A large blade, shimmering with a cold, ghostly light, descended with the force of a thunderclap. Though still in mid-air, the biting chill from its razor-sharp edge made one feel as if the Grim Reaper had descended.

She walked beside the middle-aged man, appearing very intimate, while showing great respect toward the elderly man accompanying him.

Her father indulged her without limits or bottom lines, but her mother was different; her mother was a woman of strict principles.

"Search! You must find them! Do not leave a single corner or clue unchecked!" Jiang Jiuyue said, her face cold, feigning composure.

As soon as she finished speaking, the closed door was suddenly flung open. Liu Qingyi rushed out, running away while sobbing.

The young man nodded, his large eyes fixed on Qin Hu. Those eyes were bloodshot, and cracks had even appeared within the irises themselves.

Watching the people in the venue bidding continuously, Xian Menghua’s expression suddenly turned dim, and she whispered to Yang Jie.
