Volume One, Chapter 56: A Matter of Life and Death

A heavy flurry of footsteps echoed, causing Li Yang to instinctively raise his head.

Several security guards were dragging a figure, slowly approaching from a distance.

Hearing this, Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and laid out the plan he had been pondering.

Before long, the fan base for glove puppetry steadily grew, filling Tianyu Corporation with newfound confidence as they initiated further developments in the art form.

Their conversation drifted into increasingly trivial banter, yet both relished every moment of it, until Huo Bing finally felt it was time to rest and ended the call.

Before Qi Bao could finish speaking, a terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly descended upon him, making it nearly impossible for him to catch his breath.

"Stop asking questions, hurry inside and don't dawdle," Su Yingyue said, pulling her straight into the room with a swift yank.

Moreover, the reason these people fought so fiercely for power was precisely because power possessed an infinite, hypnotic allure.

Sister Zhou smiled knowingly, then looked up at Chen Yi. From her angle, Chen Yi exuded a unique, mesmerizing charm that instantly sent a soft shiver through her body, flashing her mind back ten years to the man who had taken her virginity.

An elderly monk, clad in a cassock and sporting a completely bald head, gazed at the wall with an utterly composed expression.

"Why did it take you so long to open the door? Is someone in there? I thought I heard noises." Ren Beibei hooked one of her jade-white arms around Su Cheng's neck while wrapping the other around his waist, her eyes burning with fiery passion as she stared intently at him.

Chu Ling'ao let out a cold snort and produced a golden alms bowl from somewhere. The bowl grew rapidly against the wind, instantly suspending itself directly above the spirit pool.

When the World League's divine legions flew, the closer they were to the floating magical carpets, the stronger they were. Those who had not been trapped by the Time Dragon's Song of Lamentation were generally weaker, mostly consisting of demigod levels.

Amidst the explosion and the crimson glow, with a thunderous roar of surging flames, the "Flood Dragon Fire Pill" burned like a raging inferno, transforming into a fiery red bead. A sharp pain and burning sensation struck his lower dantian, causing his body to spasm and ache. The intense searing pain severely battered Ding Zhan's physique.

Utilizing the recovery effects of his abilities, Yu Le swiftly restored more than half of his health pool, then glanced at the cooldown timer of his Q ability. He grinned broadly; without waiting for the Q ability to cool down, he directly cancelled the skill and began delivering basic attacks against the Zed beside him.

At the very front, atop a throne entirely constructed of bones, a gigantic skull hung suspended above the seat. Although the seat itself was empty, countless demons stubbornly persisted in their kowtows.

Murong Ping looked toward Elder Tie. The gaunt, stern old man remained silent, sinking her heart: it seemed the old man approved of this matter, and by allowing Tie Zhan to return, he likely harbored plans of his own.

Everyone quietly finished their meal. No one said a word. Because Da Lin's departure was not an isolated incident; it was merely the beginning. Deep down, everyone understood this all too well.

The eldest and second eldest of the Ou family unconsciously nodded. At their age, anyone from a decent family background would have already taken a wife and had children.

"Iron-Head Auntie, if you've got the guts, try coming up with a name yourself!" Hearing Ouyang Dan's mockery, Chu Tianxiong felt indignant and immediately shouted back.

Julian had stepped in. No matter how furious the Sultan was, he had no choice but to save face for Julian. With a final, furious glare at Chen Feng, he had no alternative but to lead his people away. Having lost all his dignity today, he no longer had the face to stay.

Not a single blade of grass grew here, making the place utterly desolate. Just as Mei Wanli was wondering why he had been brought to this location, a sudden gust of violent wind howled around him.
