Chapter 20: He Let Go of the Bowstring Directly

“Uncle Chen, good morning.” Lin Xing stepped forward to greet him.

Chen Jianye took a drag from his cigarette and said calmly, “I heard four gunshots last night. That was you, wasn’t it?”

“How did you know it was gunfire?” Lin Xing asked in surprise.

“I’ve been a hunter for so many years…”

The caterpillar spoke in beast language, “Do you have a way?” It seemed speaking out loud still required some time.

“Not necessarily. You should build a hidden storage place; maybe it wasn’t destroyed,” Qu Yi reminded him.

“The enemy is closing in. I demand the deployment of the Bright Buddha Nature Domain to resist head-on and await the arrival of the Jade Emperor,” said the Vajra Buddha.

By the time he reappeared, the vast courtyard had already been razed to the ground; there was no trace of its former appearance.

“Stop them!” Shan Fa roared with anger, stepping forward to the formation platform, swinging his great blade and cleaving the air with a mighty strike.

Wu Tao nodded repeatedly, then approached Zhu Yan’er, chanting softly. Several magical seals appeared, and the blood talisman glowed brightly again as a large amount of blood energy was drawn from Zhu Yan’er’s body.

“What’s going on? Since achieving success in my cultivation, I’ve never encountered such a situation,” Mo Tongsheng thought silently.

Tang Ning’an had always been her most cherished younger sister; otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to send Tang Ning’an abroad while staying in the country herself as bait. She risked her own safety solely to ensure Tang Ning’an’s protection.

“Is that so?” Ning Ning said lightly without further questions. She didn’t ask which identity he was unaware of.

At the instant the water column appeared, the Ape Spirit had already locked its gaze upon it. Watching all the water flow upward, a bad premonition arose in its heart.

Seeing her actions, Ye Tian was startled. He hadn’t eaten all day; although he didn’t feel hungry, he was uncomfortable. Ye Tian quickly sat down, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began eating heartily, mumbling, “Who said I’m not eating?”

“No, I didn’t. If at any moment I behaved strangely around her, it was the moon’s fault,” the man unexpectedly uttered his first playful remark in his life.

The old man laughed happily, his wrinkles deepening as he said, “You’re wondering why this ordinary tea suddenly tastes different, aren’t you?” Lin Yi nodded obediently like a well-taught child.

Jenny felt her heart pound, her whole body stiffening. Li’er’s words were profound and mysterious, seemingly hiding extremely important information. She had intended to scorn Li’er’s remarks as irrelevant to herself but swallowed her words before speaking.

“All right! I understand. You two go ahead.” After seeing them off, Ye Zi Luo cupped her fists gently and said, “Thank you so much! I’ll go look around elsewhere.” Ignoring whether Hu Yixing had heard, Ye Zi Luo swiftly took flight.

“Could it really be because of the shoes?” Zhu Di said, prompting the team members to stand and try to get Geng Haoshi’s shoes for a test.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince!?” Suddenly, a startled servant looked at Xing Luo in astonishment but said nothing for a long time.

It seemed this was the Void Walker senior who created the three thousand great worlds, including Earth.

Watching Meng Lang’s satisfied expression, Geng Haoshi couldn’t help but feel curious about his earlier judgment of the ball.

Tong Leilei stood behind Wu Hai. She came here every day at this time for meditation and happened to meet Wu Hai and another person, so they came together. She overheard Yang Qing discussing the foreigner who had broken into the temple yesterday afternoon.

Ranran didn’t know that Xun Qiandu had returned to Wuji Mountain and that her phone had been off the whole time. The multimedia message videos she sent could only be received if the phone was on. After three days off, no reception was possible.

This letter unraveled no mysteries but instead sparked even more curiosity in Murong Qiqi about this “mother.”

Reason can be explained with words, but some things must be understood personally. He had already taught her the method; the rest depended on her.

Being sold for the first time, the two were curious and excited. Since Shopkeeper Ma had made arrangements and paid the traffickers, they treated the two with special care. Two wealthy families had already chosen them, but the traffickers told the selectors something unknown, and they abandoned the two.

Ding Yishan looked puzzled, not understanding Du Feng’s meaning. Seeing this, Du Feng thought: so many people moving would surely alert many; it wouldn’t be easy. Tie Fengyun must have some trick.

Seeing Baili Xiu’s sullen face, one couldn’t help but think: could it be that the young master was secretly infatuated and, being rejected, acted out of spite? After all, this young lady was indeed a rare beauty.

Haitang was unreserved; she wanted to see what other bizarre things these strange brothers could do, so she sat down.

“Just stay at our house!” Before Ru Tian could respond, his parents spoke up immediately, in unison.

His charming peach blossom eyes brimmed with teasing light; the corners of his mouth curled slightly, radiating a mischievous aura.

Peony’s heart grew anxious hearing this, thinking: what does this have to do with saving Brother Feng? She wanted to interrupt, but seeing Du Feng’s serious attention, knowing he sought information about unrelated people, she suppressed her impatience and said nothing.

Boom, boom, boom—the tremendous noise shook the gates of Ghost Prison, rippling waves spreading outward.

This was the Forest of the Dead, home to many powerful underworld beasts. Given the prior battle, it would surely attract the attention of nearby overlord-class beasts. If one of such beings arrived, none of them would survive here.
