Chapter 63

Lu Yan's expression darkened instantly. His fists clenched, and he stared menacingly at He Zhenzhong.

"Let's not worry about that for now. Let's go down first," I said as I looked for a spot to descend. Boss Cheng stopped me, pulling out ropes, iron hooks, daggers, and a full set of rock-climbing gear from his bag. It turned out he had been prepared all along.

"I just hope it's not that simple—" The boss's mother sighed, opened her mouth as if to say something more, but ultimately remained silent.

Han Jinfeng's face turned pale and then dark as he listened, finally unable to help himself from kicking Doctor Wang away.

Seeing this, I felt a twinge of fear, thinking to myself that it must be haunted—could the paper figurine have come back to life?

Just at that moment, a flash of purple light appeared. Nie Tian's other six hidden souls emerged, instantly resonating with the imprisoned soul. The Heavenly Dipper Seven-Star Sword Formation erupted, shooting towards the remnant soul of the Ice Ancestor from seven different directions.

I could no longer wait for Jiang Yi to bring down the Huang Group; I wanted to deal with Huang Wei using my own methods, as he had been causing me quite a bit of trouble lately.

"What is it?" Huang Jun asked in a deep voice. It was clear that his mood at the moment was far from relaxed.

For instance, when visiting the pleasure quarters to collect taxes as officials of the Ministry of Revenue, which of those proprietors or madams wouldn't bow and scrape, serving us tea and water?

Kroos had lost count of how many times Harry Kane had dribbled past him, and Pepe finally witnessed the prowess of the Premier League's top scorer.

On May 5th, the elite combined-arms forces of the Japanese army broke through the defense line of the 173rd Division's neighboring troops, attempting a flanking maneuver to encircle our main forces. To crush the enemy's scheme, the army headquarters ordered the 173rd Division to act as the rear guard, holding down the Japanese army and covering the main force's retreat to the Tangxianzhen line to concentrate at Zaoyang.

Yuexuan pouted, a look of disdain crossing her face. As she brandished her long whip, her figure exuded a vibrant spiritual energy, adding even more to her beauty.

Lu Yu's hand did reach out, but it unexpectedly brushed against something exceptionally soft and firm.

Even if Chen Ziyun and Ye Ya shouted as loudly as they did, the echoes within the cave would have been enough to trigger an avalanche. Yet the Baldy and Zhou Nan, equipped with communication devices, showed no reaction whatsoever, continuing to walk further into the distance and leaving behind two eerie silhouettes.

Watching Wu Xinyi's retreating figure, Liu Guo's heart was filled with bitterness. He had thought he could truly win Wu Xinyi over, but no matter how many times he pleaded, no matter how many times he offered warm face to her cold shoulder, she remained completely unmoved.

Everyone subconsciously clutched their chests; that sound made them feel as though Lu Yu's foot was stepping directly upon their own hearts.

After all, within such secret realms, the presence of spiritual entities is quite normal, and their numbers are often substantial.

Though Han Xing spoke thus, if he were actually asked to climb down, it would put him in a terrible dilemma. Not going down meant losing face, but going down? He truly didn't dare—unwilling, deeply, very unwilling to go down.

"The number of the demonized is rising every day. Even if we have ways to manage them, our manpower is limited after all. This is truly a troublesome matter," said Lan Yun.

In the car, I called Xiao Zhishan. Hearing that I was back, he seemed quite pleased. Afterward, I told him about my plans and intentions for this return. He was silent for a moment before saying he would try his best to arrange things.

Xu Pingjun laid aside her needle and thread, folded the garments in her hands, and slowly rose. "His Majesty is frugal, and our inner palace should be the same. Don't you agree, Beauty Rong?" Faced with Xu Pingjun's inquiry, Beauty Rong had nothing to say in return.

"Whether you hate me or resent me, I will never let you leave me again." Wang彦's words were stern, his tone resolute.

"Why has Young Master Ai broken into my chambers in the middle of the night?" Hao Yue did not answer Wang Yan, instead asking coldly in return.

Early that morning, the rear guards finally arrived. Ignoring days of fatigue, Liu Zhen pressed on eastward to search. The six hundred men, fortunately all iron-blooded warriors, rode fine steeds of Dawan, allowing them to hold on.

She still held her phone to her ear, maintaining the posture of a call, but as soon as she brushed past me, she hung up, put the phone down, and without even turning her head, walked into another room on that floor.

Liu Bingyi would occasionally look back at Huo Chengjun, asking from time to time if she was tired, but every single time she would smile and shake her head. Huo Chengjun did not know if she would ever be able to walk this road with Liu Bingyi a second time, so for this first time, she wanted to cherish every single step.

Huo Chengjun's drifting thoughts were recalled. "I merely feel how fickle human affairs are. Some things and some people—who knows why? Surely Your Majesty will not change, will you?" Her flickering eyes gazed into Liu Bingyi's deep pupils, filled with anticipation.

"His Majesty is truly something. It has been over a month since he finally returned from the State of Chu." Still harboring shadows from the previous Guangchuan incident, Huo Chengjun harbored some anxieties regarding Han Zeng's journey to Chu.

"Evil Lord, you really should straighten your collar. Such a sight is simply too unsightly, haha." Murong Feng laughed heartily, seemingly unaware that saying such a thing to the Lord of the Underworld would displease him.

Simultaneously, Dugu Xian'er flashed behind Zhang Qi. Her palm transformed into a long sword, relentlessly pressing in on Zhang Qi.

"Young Master Fu is truly righteous." The young man beside him grinned broadly, having also set his sights on Ling Xi. Once a few drinks were down her, wouldn't playing with her however they pleased be up to them?
