Volume 1, Chapter 54: Dark Bargain

The door of the dark room slammed shut with a heavy echo. The stench of blood remained thick in the air, as if trying to seep into Li Yang's very marrow. He collapsed onto the floor, his chest heaving violently, tears and dried blood still staining his face.

No wonder Ye Changsheng was willing to pay such a price. Could it be that he wanted him to go and accomplish something within the Wanling Mountain Range?

Speaking of Luo Meiting, Su Yue suddenly remembered that after she had gone to fetch Village Chief Niu, the girl had vanished. She wondered if she had already gone back.

The fourth item was a high-magnification telescope. Such an object was quite rare, and if put up for auction, it would undoubtedly fetch a high price.

Su Yue glanced at the apprehensive Caixia, thinking faintly that after following her for so many years, Caixia still did not understand her mistress—how easily a few words from others could throw her heart into disarray.

And if he did not die, once he returned to the capital, a bloody storm would descend upon it, and a true catastrophe would finally begin.

Yet now she was no longer bored; one could even say she was slightly, just a tiny bit busy, living a rather leisurely and comfortable life.

In the end, he was still burned by some kind of alien laser beam. Had Wudi's body not been hardened to twenty times the density of a diamond, he probably would have been sliced clean in two.

As he spoke, Ye Changsheng produced several jade boxes and opened them, revealing the spiritual herbs inside to the three peak Integration-stage cultivators.

"Since this Chief Eunuch has already earned the infamy of being a wicked monster, if my methods weren't ruthless, wouldn't I be bearing this reputation for nothing?"

The Taiji totem swept downward, reversing Yin and Yang, turning the world upside down as it suppressed the puppet corpse soldiers outside the city.

Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding soldiers, ten steel target plates sparked and crashed to the ground, leaving behind only the bare shooting lane.

To such topics, Jiang Qi answered one by one as they came, and time slowly drifted away like this.

However, it would all have been wasted in vain, and furthermore, many immortals perished directly because of this.

Yet compared to Shuya, she was still slightly weaker. Having comprehended the essence of power, Shuya was no longer the same person she was mere minutes ago; she could now unleash one hundred percent of her strength.

Uncle Li had a gut feeling that as long as Xie Heilong continued to provide these nutritional meals, it was entirely possible for his C Team to advance to the A Team in this year's Iron-Blood Brigade competition.

The memory of the time her lips had been kissed until they swelled was far too vivid, leaving her too ashamed to raise her head in front of her classmates for days.

Xiao'er glanced at Shen Chengyao's gloomy expression with a silent sigh. Her own father was also the protagonist of this incident, and moreover, it had been directed by his very own mother. They had already caught wind of some rumors and knew that it was Shen Zhuangshi who had started spreading them in the first place.

Remember, when simmering soup, salt must always be added right when it is about to be taken off the heat. If added beforehand, its effect is the exact opposite of white vinegar, as it hinders the breakdown of nutrients in meat and ingredients.

"Ha. It seems that human really did kill the fiend." The toad spirit put down its pipe and exhaled a puff of blue smoke. It gave a meaningful look to the guardian beside it, then waddled away from the spot. The guardian remained silent, crawling toward the depths of the abyss.

Such a stroke of good fortune was like pie falling from the sky; no matter whose head it landed on, it would be something desperately prayed for.

Seeing this, Hu Yan, who had been on the verge of speaking, could only swallow back the words that had already reached the tip of her tongue.

Cheng Muyu felt as though they were exchanging intelligence, though this was hardly difficult to explain.

After two days of treatment by Ye Ling, Yan Luo'er's body was now completely stable, and the medical procedure could be performed at any time.

Under Suo Ou's persuasion, the elves reluctantly agreed to leave first, knowing full well that rather than staying behind to weigh Suo Ou down, it was better to find a safe place and spare him a distraction.
