Volume One, Chapter 54: A Little Like Our Master’s Wife

For many days, this was the first time Bai Zhi stepped out of her small courtyard.

Looking at the bustling crowd hard at work, Bai Zhi felt no ripple in her heart and turned to walk towards the mountainside.

That was where the sect's trial grounds were located.

The last time she went in, she had led her disciples in for cultivation; this time, it would be for herself alone.

Passing through the square, Yuan Lingqing spotted her from afar and hurried over to greet her.

An Liang had never believed in ghosts before, but after he acquired a master and became a servant, he believed in everything.

In this battle, the Violet Rakshasa Sect was destroyed, yet its estate still stood, with no one daring to enter and loot it, for they knew an even more formidable entity still resided within.

Zhan Xi gripped the jade carving tightly, enduring the piercing pain that swept through his heart. If she were to hate him for a lifetime, how could he ever bear it?

Liu Rumei brushed his hand away. At this moment, she had no idea her desires could surge with such intense ferocity.

"The Immortal Domain has always been known for its affection. If we sincerely cooperate with them, will the great cataclysm of this world come to an end?" Seeming to see through the Prime Minister's intentions, Liu Rumei spoke up first.

At this moment, his vitality was surging vigorously. The dense, powerful force of blood within him burst forth from the crown of his head, connecting the sun and the moon, startling and piercing through heaven and earth.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," she replied crisply, then stood up, keeping her head lowered and her gaze fixed solely on the tips of her shoes.

"What the master says is true. His Majesty couldn't even be bothered to put up a pretense with her; how could she ever know the exquisite taste of favor? She is no different from those nuns in the temple!" Qianxi said smugly, proud that her insight had won the master's approval.

Did she not know that if he were not currently using all his self-control and patience to forcibly suppress his temper, he would undoubtedly snap her neck without a shred of mercy?

Zhang Yingxia took Guan Peng along to apologize and thank the assistant director. The apology went without saying—an incident had occurred yesterday that almost caused trouble for the crew—while the thanks were offered in advance, since they still had to work under his supervision and would need his continued care and guidance.

Speed was paramount in warfare. The ghost army moved with astonishing swiftness, arriving within thirty li of Demon Annihilation City in a mere flash. Six hundred thousand ghost soldiers emitted an immensely powerful ghostly aura, turning the entire sky a pitch-black hue as they seemingly began making arrangements for the siege.

Both sides made their choices for the bot lane combination. With complete shamelessness, Gray and Charles locked in Kalista, the Spear of Vengeance, paired with Thresh, the Chain Warden.

Regarding the livestream revenue split for UG Esports professional players, the UG club only took twenty percent, while the players retained eighty percent. Such terms genuinely provided a viable livelihood for the professional players.

Witnessing this scene, the Calamity Fairy realized that relying solely on such trivial methods was entirely insufficient to save her life. With no other choice, she drew a triangular banner from her bosom, bit the tip of her tongue, and spat a mouthful of vital essence blood onto it.

"What is this thing?" Qin Yang asked in puzzlement. He did not believe this was an ordinary item; otherwise, why would so many experts from the Dustless Sect come after him?

"It is like this, Mr. Su Yang. We are willing to offer a remuneration of one hundred thousand yuan, and we hope you can cooperate during a Korean server ranked match." Bai Xinghe phrased it tactfully, without directly spelling out that they wanted Su Yang to act as a match-fixer.

Waging aggressive wars of expansion is indeed beyond reproach during the early stages of a faction that rises through conflict. However, once one has already gained control of vast territories and acquired manageable resources, funneling all focus back into military development alone becomes rather foolish.

The spirit formation was broken, but the rabbit was not idle. It paused briefly beside Ji Zilong, and then quickly vanished from the spot along with Wu Qier, not returning until half an hour later.
