Volume 1 Chapter 58: Setting the Trap

Could it be that the revived black flood dragon sensed the black dragon's aura and tracked it all the way here? It must be! After all, the temptation of the black dragon was simply too great. He had previously suspected that some sea beast would pursue them, but he hadn't expected it to actually happen, and at such a critical moment.

"Damn it! You birdman, what do you mean by that? Just a moment ago, you bloody well said yourself that too much time had passed, and that the array barrier and the origin of the Divine Realm had weakened. And now you're wrongfully accusing this King again? What kind of game are you playing?" The Five-Clawed Divine Dragon pointed angrily at the Seven-Color Divine Phoenix and roared.

"Men, set up the ritual altar." Steward Li was furious. The magic arts of the Li family were all passed down from their ancestors, so naturally, they had ways to deal with ghosts. At Steward Li's command, people immediately rushed to make the preparations.

Seeing no one around, Li Wei hurriedly slipped two packs of cigarettes into the supply officer's pocket and, without another word, turned back toward the platoon's dormitory. This left the supply officer completely baffled. But when he took out the two packs of cigarettes to examine them closely, he suddenly realized—aren't these those extremely fancy, high-end brands?

The Imperial Tutor was someone who dared to talk back to the Emperor, while Zhaoxi and Shangjue were both members of the younger generation. The two of them stepped forward together to pay their junior respects.

Once the two of them had aligned their objectives, they lingered and walked outward together. Naturally, things could not unfold freely in Concubine Zhao's courtyard. As the housekeeper, Wang Lin had a room of his own. Therefore, when the maid sharing a room with Qing'er discovered that Qing'er had not returned all night and came back the next morning with amorous, spring-like eyes, she immediately reported the matter to Concubine Zhao.

"Wipe this place out? Are you people trying to destroy this place? What are we going to do if the Rakshasa escapes?" Hearing Huiming's words, Meng Yan was instantly shocked. Just how audacious was the Underworld Prison Department?

"Meng Yan, do you think there's something wrong with the people in the old ancestral home?" Seeing that Meng Yan did not bring along any locals, the astute Xia Xueying understood the implication immediately.

"Cut the damn crap! Are we filming or not, give me a straight answer, stop dawdling!" I grew a bit irritable and blurted out a curse, instantly drawing looks of disgust from everyone present.

The reporters attending the press conference were all elites from various business sectors, and the questions they asked were of paramount importance. However, with Mi Lan's intelligence, she handled them with ease.

The next moment, Shukaku of the Desert launched an attack on those ninja from the Village Hidden in the Rain almost immediately. Countless streams of shifting sand surged like a torrential flood toward the nearby Hidden Mist ninja.

"I haven't played this kind of arcade game much anyway. If you still want to play, why don't you just go get more tokens?" Wu Feifei's face flushed slightly. She had died many times just now, and the causes of her deaths were bizarre indeed.

Having already greeted a nearby helper who was busy lending a hand, he sat down at the counter and began taking people's pulses.

"I thought you possessed some extraordinary abilities, but it turns out they are nothing more than third-rate tricks. Relying purely on speed? I must say, you are truly a profound disappointment." Eleven shouted coldly, descending from above with icy words and a murderous aura.

"A blood test for paternity? Empress, you are far too naive! Let alone whether His Majesty would agree, even if he did, blood tests carry enormous risks. First of all, if someone secretly adds a tiny amount of alum to the water, any blood can merge together," said the Grand Tutor.

As soon as he returned home, Ji Meina was blocked by his mother, Ji Ruxue, who then... just stared at him blankly.

Ji Meina was somewhat dumbfounded by this scene, thinking to himself that if they were in his room right now, he probably would have transformed into a beast and lunged forward to push her down.

"Qingcheng, don't be like that. I already said it was an accident, and I didn't do it on purpose." Ji Meina spread his hands in resignation.

Draco's face turned as dark as ink—though it was pitch black all around, no one could see it.

In comparison, Jiang Tiandao appeared much more awkward, tagging along behind like an unemployed vagrant, only piping up whenever Si Xueyi called out to him.

As the primary planner and executor of this Journey to the West, Guanyin Bodhisattva's actions over the years had been witnessed by the Buddha Tathagata himself, who could not find the slightest fault in her methods.

Gu Yingqing did not sleep well that night, nor did she sleep deeply. She knew she was in a dream, and she knew she was tossing and turning.

Xiaoxia was startled by the commotion and was just about to burst into curses when she turned her head and saw Su Nianjiao collapsed on the ground.

As for the others, Sun Simiao and Yuan Tianguan were still present, but Qin Shubao had moved out. After all, the protagonist of this palace was now changed to the Retired Emperor Li Shiming.

It was only today that she happened to have some free time to visit the shopping mall. Previously, she had been so busy she barely touched the ground; how could she possibly have thought of such things?

Yet Zhu Bajie had been assigned elsewhere, and the thousand-plus elite troops he brought with him were definitely a force that could not be ignored.

Even so, the inherently competitive Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan, continuously seized opportunities and passed down his legacy time and time again.

"You... say that again. Tell me in detail!" This time, even his voice trembled slightly.

During this period, he wanted to find something to do for himself, but the thought of leaving for quite a long time made him worry endlessly about the elderly.

Watching the backs of them leaving, a sharp pain tore through my heart. Why was it that I could never seem to accomplish anything? In the past, it might have been because my strength was too low, but what about now? My cultivation had already reached the Tendon-Altering Realm, the pinnacle of martial arts, so why was I still utterly powerless?

Instead, those who harbored no worldly desires, who contended with no one and seemed gentle and harmless, often ended up pulling off astonishing feats and executing a miraculous counterattack.

Her overbearing dominance left her with no room to evade, and a sharp, stinging pain spread across the corners of her lips. A metallic taste of blood lingered inside her mouth.

Actually, among the five big boys, Yang Rui was someone who cared deeply about saving face. As long as others gave him face, he would generally get along quite well with them.

Fan Shengmei had anticipated this outcome long ago and climbed into the car with a knowing smile. She found it amusing that Wang Paul seemed so reluctant, likely fearing he wouldn't fit into such a high-society setting. But she only chuckled inwardly and kept her expression composed.

Upon hearing the news reported by the dark guard, Commander Huo's eyes widened in sheer disbelief. However, after pausing for a breath and recalling the extraordinary feats Xia Qingxiao had accomplished in the past, he wasn't nearly as shaken as he had been at first.

When I emerged from the bathroom, Zhan Dong was still sitting there waiting. I could only slowly take a seat opposite him. He pulled out the breakfast for me, and after murmuring a thank-you, I took it and began to eat in small, slow bites.

At this moment, seeing that the three frontline champions could no longer escape, and with the Viktor and Jinx blocked off by the Trundle and unable to pass, they had no choice but to retreat. They figured that if the two of them could escape back, they could at least manage to defend the inhibitor turret and prevent the enemy from ending the game in a single push.
