Chapter 54

Keyu made no movement either, simply watching quietly as the color-changing giant python turned and pushed away the iron block resting on the grass-snake-patterned rope.

The stone wall shattered. Anxious about whether the Smiling Man was safe, I searched for his traces, only to discover the location of a secret door. As it turned out, the secret door was merely ten meters away from the corner. Had the mischievous children shifted sideways to explore, they would have made their escape by now.

"Defense? With what kind of defense? Against that sort of tornado, no magic can defend you," Wilson said to Yu Jingjing.

"But how on earth is this happening?" Even though the Cicada clan knew the mist was intangible, they still yearned to grasp the fog ahead.

Immediately following the sound, Jiang Chengce looked back, only to be startled to see Kim Ji-yeon and Nangong Han anxiously walking into the hospital ward.

Before Dongfang Zier could finish her thoughts, Nangong Ping'er stepped in to introduce her. The introduction was extremely detailed, covering all the essential points; it was practically as good as an introduction could possibly get.

Vast though the Divine Land was, it was finite after all. For top-tier factions like theirs, an organization whose origins could not be traced was exceptionally rare.

The atmosphere in the corner grew quiet, a stillness that broke out a cold sweat on Mingze and Xunyu's brows in no time at all.

Mid-conversation, Zhang Ze bowed slightly to Gu Chen. Since the conflict between the two had been resolved, they might as well shake hands and make peace. Having a friend in this world was far better than making another enemy, especially since the young man before him was not one to be trifled with.

Chen Yaofei's club did not strike me, but instead hit the head of the zombie behind me. This zombie was one of the three I had spotted at the end of the corridor.

Mu Yeyan received a system notification and discovered that her guild position had changed to Envoy, ranking just below the Guild Master and Deputy Guild Master. Instantly, a deep sense of mission welled up within her; after all, one must earn their keep by taking another's money.

According to the conditions during the closed beta test, the gaming content Su Mengyao had experienced ended with the collapse of the garden. As for what followed, even the closed beta testers remained in the dark.

Just as Yang Hao fell into a pensive mood, a low trumpet blast suddenly echoed from within the military camp. Hearing the sound, nearly all the soldiers instinctively tightened their expressions.

Uunqi picked up the roster that had fallen to the ground and looked it over once more, his mind suddenly clearing up.

"Reporting to the General, two young lads have arrived at the camp claiming to be your nephews, and they are waiting for you to return!" the guard rattled off like peas spilling from a bamboo tube.

Before she could process what was happening, a pair of rigid hands grabbed her shoulders.

When the banquet dispersed that evening, he returned slightly intoxicated and was suddenly struck by a stomachache. His wife remarked, "I'm afraid you've been poisoned!" She hurriedly ordered him to drink a concoction of nightsoil, and after vomiting once, he settled down.

Qi Yan raised an eyebrow, put the incense away, and flew directly in the direction the incense pointed.

Uunqi sneered. Although he had lost his right arm and all his battle qi, leaving his strength far below its former peak, dealing with a few ill-mannered drunkards was still no problem at all.

"That depends entirely on you. Anyway, I am not willing. After all, I feel you are a bit fragile—forgive my bluntness," Sleep said.

Auffi stroked the two garments. They were vastly superior to the one she had previously fancied. Had Corilan sent gold coins or food, Auffi would not have let her imagination run wild, yet Corilan had sent two beautiful dresses instead, and Auffi accepted them with a blush.

Tang Youran had only taken two steps when she instinctively reached out to touch her clothes—wait, where was her cell phone?!

Dar hurriedly dispatched his aides, instructing them to notify all the villagers of Biluo Village to gather at his courtyard, while he stayed to accompany General Khalif. However, General Khalif seemed overly indifferent toward him, simply closing his eyes to rest and leaving Dar awkwardly hanging in the cold.

Ceng Jiunian decided that once they reached their destination, she would play it by ear, and only by finding an opportunity to absorb sacred energy would she stand a chance of escape.

Fortunately, her master was not in seclusion today, but merely soaking in the hot spring pool within the mountain cave, so Qingchi sprinted over immediately.

Furthermore, this ready-made crown prince stepson was to be wed on the ninth day of the ninth month. If the emperor failed to show up then, the wedding would inevitably invite criticism. In that case, the father-son relationship would become even more awkward, dragging her into the awkwardness as well.

The scene was as bizarre as it could possibly get, and Ceng Jiunian even felt a faint layer of cold sweat breaking out on her back, terrified by the horrors she had conjured in her mind about the situation outside.

Ignoring his pig-like roaring, Chang Kong walked straight up, raised his right hand high, and delivered a crisp, resounding slap. The tall man was sent staggering by the blow, his head tilted to the side, his ears buzzing so loudly that he could hear nothing of what they were saying, completely dumbfounded.

Su Qing and Ye Xuanli exchanged glances, seeing the slight curves at each other's lips—it was love, and it was a promise.

Within the hollow eye sockets, green soul fires burned, casting a greenish glow that looked chillingly like ghostly fires in a desolate graveyard at night, wretched and spine-chilling.

According to records in the cultivation world, ever since the founding patriarch was summoned by the Celestial Emperor to ascend to immortality, the Mount Shu Alliance had taken the maintenance of order across all realms as its grand mission, upholding a people-oriented approach to vanquishing demons and subduing devils. Ever since, the Mount Shu Immortal Sword Sect has been known to the world as the Mount Shu Immortal Sword Sect.
