Chapter 56: Interception and Elucidation, Counter-Attack and Settlement of Scores.

The Sha River, the largest river in the North, stretches for ten thousand miles. At the northernmost bend of this winding river, the Haotian clan has now built altars at three separate points.

The young ruler of Guotai, a boy of about ten years old, began the sacrificial ceremony under the guidance of his ministers. The young lord of Guotai appeared distracted, clearly displeased by the constraints of the ritual, but under the stern gaze of the national tutor Pu E, he bowed his head and complied with the ceremonial procedures.

The “good habit” of worshipping Heaven.

At this moment, only Chen Gang remained clear-headed. He knew that such a rare treasure could not be ignored by Wang Chong; he was almost certainly testing them to see if they were worthy of his association.

Back then, she brewed tea with a dried flower. The once withered flower, upon contact with water, quickly absorbed moisture and blossomed anew, regaining its vibrant color.

It was precisely because of this that today Chen Jiang brought Chen Yao here, intending for Chen Yao to personally kill Zhuang Yiming and avenge their great grievance.

Feng Yunyan had trained that pigeon exceptionally well—of the kind that could find the person it sought merely by scent.

Thinking of the words spoken by the King of Dongyang at the banquet today, and the look he gave Feng Yunyan—a look filled with unwavering determination—was truly unsettling.

After careful observation for about half a minute, they confirmed that neither the corpses nor the vines could be revived, as both had entered a state of rapid decay.

Only when a cold snort was heard did people realize that Wang Hao had somehow appeared by Su Huang’s side unnoticed.

It was not out of fear of their Divine Mansion Realm strength; after all, many present had reached that realm. If a fight broke out, they would not be at a disadvantage.

But now was not yet the time for Ye Feng to make his choice; there was still the Baolong Academy to introduce their institution.

“If I promise to bring them back to life completely, just like Immortal Shi Yu, do you think they would refuse?” The Son of Heaven smiled meaningfully, sending a chill down one’s spine.

Without hesitation, the Heaven-Splitting Axe appeared within Lu Zheng’s Eighteen Purgatories. Then, a drop of golden liquid fell onto the axe.

Qin Yang made no attempt to dodge. He precisely targeted the direction of the young policeman’s baton swing, striking the policeman’s wrist with his right foot. The young officer, caught off guard, dropped his baton upon impact.

“Coordination is not something you develop in just a minute or two.” Shui Qing winced as his grandfather lightly slapped him, stifling a groan. At this moment, chaotic screams and shouts echoed—none of which were the behavior of trained martial artists.

The smile had yet to fade when blood mist suddenly expanded rapidly. In an instant, it engulfed the Holy Dragon King hundreds of meters away.

Voices spoke as Aaron’s curse began to take effect. Beside him, the ninth-level corpse demon wielded a skull staff, swinging it repeatedly. Deathly black clouds continually emerged from the staff’s dark crystal, hovering above the werewolf’s head. These vast death clouds were especially effective against the numerous but weak werewolves.

Having lived in Charlton Town for decades, the Grand Elder had clearly forgotten many of the places he had once traversed in his youthful recklessness.

“There are four grooves on either side of the main gate. I believe that’s where the mechanism lies, but how to open it—we’ll have to wait for the key bearer to arrive,” Zhou Dao said with a smile.

The life essence within the demon was overwhelmingly abundant and pure. During the purification process, Lu Zheng hardly consumed much.
