Chapter 36

"I thought it was a normal reaction, so I didn't say anything!" Xiao Yan had no idea what that bead was for last time, so it was hardly surprising that he hadn't mentioned it.

The newcomer didn't say another word, walking directly in front with the ten people following closely behind. A few minutes later, the group arrived in front of an unremarkable door on the second floor.

Although her face was mostly obscured by the brim of her hat and sunglasses, Zhao Gan still noticed that her face had turned red in an instant; looking closely, it was actually quite alluring.

If these were ordinary magical beasts, the members of the coalition would not have been afraid, even when facing more than a dozen level-five beasts. They had the courage to fight such creatures to the end, but when faced with illusory magical beasts that could neither be seen nor touched, no one could honestly claim they weren't afraid.

"Looking at how hard you're working, I expect you'll have mastered it before long." Nan Ruochen said with a beaming smile, though she said nothing more.

Dark clouds tangled together, and a thin sliver of moon cast a faint, eerie red glow that appeared within the gloomy night, like a blurred, sorrowful eye shedding bloody tears.

Li Yan was primarily explaining the reason to Lucia; as for whether she believed him, that was no longer his concern.

"You haven't suffered too much, have you?!" Song Daohou asked the handsome youth, a question that felt a bit like overstepping his bounds, though it was merely a polite formality.

Had it been any other power, Xiao Yan would certainly not have been able to handle such strength, but with his soul power, combined with the aid of an evil soul force, he felt confident in dealing with this opponent whose soul was impure.

"Yilin!" Situ Xiao blocked Li Yilin, "You should go check on Mengzhu instead." Li Yilin raised his gun, pulled the bolt, and with a "bang," the bullet whistled past the top of Zheng Jiqing's head and embedded itself into the snow-white wall.

Because the cauldron core had spoken aloud rather than through telepathy, Guo Huitong, standing beside Hao Yu, heard it clearly. When she opened her eyes in surprise and saw Hao Yu in such a state, she screamed in terror.

"The company commander is asking you a question. Are you deaf?" Before Company Commander Zhang could speak, the squad leader interjected first.

"I won't be going; I have school this afternoon," Peng Beibei said, turning to leave.

Li Ren nodded, and the maid walked to the door, opening it to say to the person outside, "Dr. Hu, please come in." Only then did Li Ren feel at ease enough to head toward his grandmother's quarters.

Zhiyin looked left and right, checking to see if there were any clothes that caught her eye. She had already visited all the shops in Green Woods Town. As far as she was concerned, there were no new styles there. The county town, however, had a much more complete selection of clothing.

For six years, the two brothers had begun to specialize in their studies. The elder, Li Ren, preferred martial arts and military strategy, gradually losing interest in Confucianism, feeling that it only taught people to be cowardly and blindly loyal to the emperor. However, having studied so much, he knew what should and should not be said.

Jia Sidao thought viciously to himself: A moment ago, they were acting like enemies while fighting over the quantity, and now, they’ve set their sights on the sword in my hand.

Wang Feng looked blank. "What? Why is he looking for me?" He said to Han Zhijun half-jokingly. It didn't seem like there was a mission, so he assumed Han Zhijun was just trying to trick him and began to horse around with him.

After hearing the artifact spirit's words, Hao Yu's expression grew solemn. He had not expected that this so-called "Universe Sealing Array" had such deep roots in this world. As the spirit of the Crystal Soul Tower spoke, he gradually sank into deep thought, only lifting his head long after the spirit had finished.

Looking at the surrounding environment, a sense of shame rose in Qiangwei's heart. Although she had heard that some people liked to do "that" in such places, she still felt awkward now that it was actually happening.

A large number of reporters who had heard the news gathered at the hospital entrance, creating a chaotic din. It was only with the help of police officers that President Kaburagi and his party managed to enter the hospital, where they immediately hurried over upon seeing Gao Cheng and the others.

Afterward, powerful Zero-Pattern Masters would engrave a very special type of zero-pattern inside the crystal beads, which, under normal circumstances, could compress a person's zero-power to the extreme and store it.

But the Insect King was no joke; even if it were only a pseudo-Insect King, its rank alone meant that it wasn't something their cooperative team could destroy just because they wanted to.

Mo Xiu smiled faintly and said, "Elder Ping, please go ahead." He was quite confident in his alchemy; his pills truly had no side effects.

"My turn. Don't worry, just watch your brother wreak havoc!" Mo Xiu patted Wei Kexin's head, donned a mask, and draped himself in a wide black robe. Both the mask and robe had been specially treated to prevent his true identity from being exposed.

Shi Nan's heart was dead; she no longer hoped to escape, for her path in the martial arts was severed. It was impossible for her to advance to the late stage of the Martial Emperor realm, which, for someone devoted to martial arts, was undoubtedly a total ruin.

The three men, spurred on by Zhang Chulan, began to fight instantly. The three who had been allies just moments ago began trading blows, their fists landing solidly, all due to the intense "verbal artillery" barrage.

Mo Xiu didn't need to guess who it was; it was the family genius who had always liked his sister, Wei Kexin, and had always been at odds with him—his cousin, Mo Feng.

Clearly, they had already heard something on their way here, and with the internet being so highly developed, the incident had become the talk of several capital city forums in less than a few minutes.

Shen Zhan had proposed to Li Wanqing. Was it true? Her phone slipped from her hand, falling to the floor unnoticed.

"I won't agree to it." Upon hearing Li Chao's decision, Ye Mo's heart trembled violently, a sudden sourness rising within her—a feeling of heartache.

Kinnara, Fudo Myoo, and Soma were stunned; Meiji and Fang were also taken aback. Only the Great Sage, the Golden-Winged Peng, and Huang Mingyue seemed to have guessed something, their gazes fixed intently on Xuanyuan Tianxin.

"Looking for you, of course. Aren't you injured?" Fatty Cong explained casually, then asked curiously, as Ah Xing really didn't look like someone who was hurt.
