Chapter 57: The Good Show Begins

The bones in the body felt as if they were being crushed inch by inch! Flesh was being gnawed upon by countless ants, bit by bit! Even the nerves seemed as if they were being forcibly ripped out from within! Master Xuanqing spoke with a cold tone, the previously restrained violent aura spreading once again. This time, the Eight Mountain Demons appeared relatively calm, for the new Sage Master Xuanqing, as expected, left them a way out, giving them a chance.

"Do you mean you don't intend to return it to me?" Zhao Gao was furious. The World Will’s words repeatedly emphasized how powerful Meng Buhuo—now known in this narrative world as Frank—was, and the implication was unmistakable.

"His Majesty's understanding of vampires is naturally far beyond that of those of us who rarely come into contact with them."

If before, in the Ark Space, he enjoyed preferential treatment in the highly coveted Golden District, here Zhao Gao had become an unloved wild child, neither favored by his uncle nor his grandmother. The shops in this location were nothing but a sham.

After the elders and the Purple Flame True Man discussed the subsequent arrangements a little more, they each departed.

For Wang Dao, this was undoubtedly the most perilous and bizarre mission he had ever undertaken. This time, the "enemies" he faced were pets friendly to humans, livestock used as food for humans, and animals kept for human entertainment.

Since it was summer, Jin had not stocked fresh meat in the kitchen. Fortunately, there was a bass fish purchased a few days earlier swimming in the water tank, along with two pounds of river shrimp, so there was no shortage of ingredients.

Unlike Aubrey, Edward III was overjoyed by Fiona’s choice.

Not only Miss, but on the other side, after Fairy Tale MM shut down her computer and was washing up in the bathroom, the image of Liu Jianing appeared before her eyes. She was stunned for a moment, looked in the mirror, and found her eyes somewhat dazed.

Nan He was puzzled. The beauty before him seemed like a chatterbox who loved gossip, but was she really the same Master He, who was taciturn, aloof, and exuded a chilling aura?

She had only just recovered from the turmoil surrounding the Zhuge family, and now such an incident had occurred in the palace.

Jiang Shan felt an inexplicable guilt, but this moment was not the time to argue with Jiang Li. She quickly summoned doctors and nurses, sending Qin’s mother to the emergency room.

After Ding Da confirmed, her body moved uncontrollably toward the iron fence. In the deathly silence, her heartbeat sounded piercingly loud.

Xi Ruoyan scratched her head somewhat embarrassed. Having learned from past experiences, the jealous glances were no longer so obvious, but the envious eyes staring at her were still piercing, almost crushing her spirit.

Ning Jiayan finally snapped out of her daze from being suddenly rescued. She took a healing pill and looked at the five mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators chasing them. Within a tea’s time, four of them were slain.

Whenever she grew angry, it suited Qinghe’s intentions perfectly. No one knew what tricks she was playing behind the scenes.

Even though Beifeng’s birth was the root of her hatred—her resentment toward Beifeng was evident to all.

Looking at the weariness on Lu Jingyan’s face, Su Yanxi gently stroked his furrowed brow and softly kissed him. Only then did his tense expression slowly relax.

Before coming, Liu Yan had anticipated this outcome. But even knowing in advance, her heart still ached when she actually heard it.

Usually, the birthday banquet of a vassal king was not only a gathering of major powers but also featured the presentation of gifts. Under countless watchful eyes, the giver would explain the preciousness of their gift, showing respect to the vassal king.

The Jiang family was now practically ruined. Her grandfather was missing, her parents exiled, and her brother still imprisoned.

He now had only one goal: to kill this person. If it weren’t for him, Kasan wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Su Yu nodded slightly, confident in his gift, certain it would astonish everyone present.

A pitiful scream came from the eerie gray mist, leaving Luo Song utterly dumbfounded, completely clueless about what was happening.

Sulia agreed, scratching a wound with her nail. The blood that oozed out was absorbed by the bracelet, which faintly glowed.

This place was truly a den of ghosts. One could not tell how many spirits gathered here. Even under the blazing midday sun, a chill pervaded the air.

"Teacher, are you alright?" Ye Feng asked promptly, finally hearing the Emperor’s faint voice after a long pause.

Zhang Chu patted his chest, feeling somewhat guilty. Every piece of news about Hai Chen came so suddenly—after all, he was his big boss.

The primordial spiritual embryo was born from heaven and earth, devoid of the usual seven emotions and six desires of living beings. Only after merging with the extreme detached side did it become the Ye Tian before them.

The Tianwu Star was regarded as Lee’s personal backyard. When his son was nearly killed there, Lee’s mood was understandably grim. Despite being the steward of Tianwu Star, entrusted by the Canglan Sect with great responsibility, he was utterly unaware of the presence of a powerful figure like Ding Ning.

With a change of thought, Ding Ning decided to wait before going out. Marlo Yun’s illness was not urgent; there was no need to rush. He could refine the Nine-turn Glazed Body first, then go out later.

"He's from Bright Island, named Wu Yiyuan. Do you know him?" asked the Nine-headed Lion.

"I can’t save you. If you want to live, you must save yourself." Wei Yan glanced around, signaling Fu Shiren to keep bystanders away.

However, now Yun Cang could withstand several waves of Thunder Sea assaults. Previously, he might have fainted again.

It made sense. It was already two or three in the afternoon—the hottest time of day. Even sitting in the shade, one would feel drowsy from the heat. Since no one came to this wild mountain area, a short nap was fine, as long as the Third Young Master didn’t find him.

After speaking, Wang Jianhe looked back at Wang Qing and Wang Rou behind him. Their concern was for their own children.
