Chapter 26

A bloody gash appeared on the back of Lei Luo’s hand, blood splattering as he recoiled in pain; his other glove was torn away and sent flying in the process.

The three souls and seven spirits of the dragon race differ from those of other living beings. The three souls store memories and various innate draconic instincts, while the seven spirits house the dragon’s soul power.

The Divine Wind Sword Technique is a masterpiece among mid-grade Origin-Shattering martial arts; with just a little further refinement, it could reach the pinnacle of its class.

The fatty thought himself quite clever, unaware that he had already begun to fall into Lin Feiyu’s trap, even feeling smug about his own "intelligence."

Feng Butong knew that a battle was inevitable today. Yet, he felt not a shred of pity, hoping only to seize whatever treasures the opponent might possess.

Then, the momentum of mountains and rivers seemed to achieve an overwhelming victory, as rolling thunder crashed down like a collapsing mountain upon the figure amidst the wind and lightning.

Tang Yuexing also felt a pang of regret; she hurriedly covered her mouth and shook her head, indicating she would say no more. The atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly turned awkward.

They cared not whether you were a rising star of the Cloud Firmament Palace, nor did they concern themselves with whether you were a genius of the sect. On the contrary, the more gifted you were, the more satisfying they found your downfall. After all, they had no connection to Luo City.

At the same time, the three vacuum tubes suspended in the laboratory suddenly vanished, disappearing into the void along with the genes that radiated three distinct colors.

Hearing the words of the Blood Demon Ancestor, the Heavenless Demon Buddha and the Lord of Nine Netherworlds exchanged a glance, and the Heavenless Demon Buddha sneered.

His strength far surpassed that of his peers, and, naturally, it exceeded that of these old fogies as well.

He now only wanted to return to the Zodiac Gate’s main hall, find Jiang Qingrong, and advise the sect leader to expel Zhou Bingran from the Zodiac Gate.

Watching Tao Zhuohua bend down to set the river lantern, He Zicen leaned forward unconsciously, as if to support her slender form. His hands reached out, lingering in the air, reluctant to pull back, his gaze tender and lingering.

I had intended to change the subject, not wanting him to bring it up, but seeing there was no way to avoid it, I had to steel myself and speak.

Seeing that Juan Niang had already prepared her bed, Chang Ye faced the lonely lamp in the stillness of the night. She simply did not want to sleep, so she asked Fuling to take out a lantern crafted earlier, quietly draped a cloak over her shoulders, and went with Fuling outside the Clear Lotus Palace.

Yue Budan greatly enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped. Born into an imperial family, he had grown accustomed to the sensation of being above all others, save for one.

As she spoke, everyone chimed in with agreement. Luo Yu’s judgment was quite sound; there were no slackers among those present.

This left major pharmacies that dominated the capital, such as Wanhe Hall, unable to sit still. After sending servants to purchase the formula at a high price, they found it contained nothing more than simple ingredients like honeysuckle, forsythia, and violet.

Seeing her expression, Dongfang Xiao knew the potion’s effect was exceptional. It seemed the general before him would not doubt his identity.

He Ziyan mused to himself that Noble Consort Xie was not paving the way for him at all; she was clearly coveting the position of Empress Dowager in the harem and had no choice but to sacrifice Ye Zhenzhen to win him over. Now that both had taken what they needed, he did not reveal his thoughts in his pleasantries, but instead, a faint blush touched his cheeks as he bowed respectfully to the Consort.

"As for you, Jiang Ziyan, your premeditated attempt to harm a fellow disciple is unforgivable. You are sentenced to thirty lashes of the lightning whip, your cultivation shall be crippled, and you are expelled from the Profound Heaven Sect, never to return." The Sect Master did not even wish to look at her again; after speaking, he had another elder lead her away.

This was the conclusion everyone reached after seeing it. Why? They all felt a sense of familiarity with this jade pendant, and even Qiu Xia felt the same.

He stopped in his tracks; the Master had admonished him to be "kind." How could one speak of kindness when he did not even treat the mother of his children well? Even though those two children were not of his own desire.

By the time they returned to the inn, dusk had barely settled—the timing was perfect. Any later, and they would have been locked outside the city gates.

The Celestial Fox shivered at Su Ling’s eerie gaze, and the tone of her threats gradually faded.

Lin Ge looked around at the decorations of the private room; it was clean and bright, with several potted plants placed about, which was pleasing to the eye. She looked forward to the dishes, thinking that the room’s decor proved the owner was a meticulous person, so the food could not possibly be bad.

Lin Ge hurried to find Shangguan Jin. She told him what she had discovered, reassuring him that the Great God Zetian was safe now, and they would simply wait here for his return.

Chi Haidie ground her teeth, repeating the name Chi Xingyuan over and over, yet her belly full of rage dared not let the name be heard too loudly.

After all, these fellows had temperaments unlike others and were heavy-handed when they acted. If the three of them discovered she had been playing them, she would be finished today.

Fierceness flared in his eyes, and as those violent, baleful auras dispersed, some survivors with keen perception sensed something wrong with A-Fu and frowned, retreating a few steps.

Everyone knows that fire and water are incompatible, yet the Fire Institute was able to create the best results within the Sacred Water Pool. By comparison, the disciples of the Water Institute seemed even more useless.

"Remember, you must carry out all actions quietly, and do not get too close! You possess the Earth Escape Technique, so I trust you most with this matter!" He Guang instructed Yu Xin once again.

Today marked the start of the third recording. Gu Jiujiang and Sun Hefan were under no pressure and appeared quite relaxed.

Standing up from the ground, Gu Ye glanced at the slanting sunlight and headed toward the dormitory.

Hearing Xu Lang’s resolute answer, Ding Haoqiong did not know if Xu Lang had understood his meaning, but seeing Xu Lang’s calm expression, he said nothing more.

After parking the car, everyone returned to the house, leaving only Gu Jiujiang outside.

For one, this was an illicit internet cafe where one could get online with an ID card—or, of course, without one. There was no shortage of minors among those coming here to browse. Secondly, the environment was complex and the rates were cheap, making it very difficult to investigate.
