Chapter 39: Return It

Does this mean—if one were to master this power, there would be a possibility to break through the shackles of the Four Realms and reach a brand new realm beyond them?

Above the gardens, the shimmering curtain of light flickered restlessly, like an enormous bowl inverted over the entire area.

Zhu Di waved his hand indifferently, “I don’t want soup. I just want to lie down for a while. I’m tired. Let me rest.” With that, he walked straight into the inner chamber, stepped onto the bed, and lay down.

Moreover, since everyone among the hundred schools of thought possessed some sources of information, it was only natural that all of it would converge here.

Thus, the Eastern Mountain garrison became the second line of defense between China and its neighboring countries, the first being those admirable and beloved soldiers stationed directly on the border.

Although he desperately tried to get close to me, that innate pride deep within him could not be concealed.

“I’ve found those scientists, but so have others. Troops have already been dispatched. If the scientists refuse to go with him…” She left the rest unsaid.

As if to encourage me, he slowly stepped forward, entering directly through the main gate of the Jixia Academy.

At the general manager’s desk sat a man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. His name was Yang Chao, the eldest son of the Yang family patriarch. Thanks to this identity, he was able to secure his position as general manager of the Yang Group.

In the room, at that moment, there was only Zhou Hang. Wearing headphones, he clattered away at the keyboard, his gaze fixed intently on the large screen before him, seemingly searching for something.

The pain was as if the flesh had been flayed, the hatred as if the bones had been carved away, anger mounting. At this moment, Nan Mu wished nothing more than to strip Mu Bai’s soul and tendons, to grind his bones to dust—yet even that would not satisfy her rage. She wanted Mu Bai to suffer a fate worse than death.

The Fire Phoenix’s premonition came true. The true form of the third layer was revealed, and everyone displayed expressions of shock and disbelief.

Huo Jidu’s gaze darkened as he fiercely pressed his lips to mine—half biting, half punishing—his force intense, tearing and devouring my lips, inch by inch grinding, inch by inch crushing.

Gu Jiujiu knew there was nothing to be done; a year would pass in the blink of an eye.

Another half day passed. The group searched the massive pit repeatedly to no avail, yet seeing Zhantian’s earnest manner, everyone sensed there must be something unusual here.

Mo Jue looked out at the winding mountain road. If he were kicked down from here, he’d be nothing but a mangled heap even if he survived. Jiang Ruan’s tone betrayed not a hint of jest, sending a chill through Mo Jue, who dared not ask further.

You’re still going to the battlefield? What if you get hurt? Ye Qing said gently. Liu Yaxi leaned on Ye Qing’s shoulder and replied, “You’ll take care of me, won’t you?”

Zhantian stood at the edge of the plaza, gazing at the crowd whose eyes fell upon him. Among them were many old acquaintances. Zhantian met their gaze, the corners of his lips curling into a faint smile, silently conveying messages to those he recognized.

Another half month passed, and the Celestial Dragon Nation had thoroughly integrated everything from the Marvel world. From then on, the planets under the rule of the Celestial Dragon Nation numbered two.

I immediately thought of Cao Sanpi. For some reason, I had an unforgettable impression of this ruthless and cruel man.

Raising a hand, I sent two balls of vital energy toward the two players beside me, planning to eliminate the weakest ones first.

Who knows how many nobles and scions have set their sights on her? Now that she favors me, I feel both pressure and motivation.

God is exceedingly unfair. Not only did He grant this man supreme power, He also endowed him with flawless, stunning beauty.

Her threat silenced everyone. It was clear her status was extraordinary, even higher than Shi Chen’s; nobody dared defy her.

That’s impossible. If it comes to that, the An family would dispatch their elite forces from She Ri Island to the northeast to support Zheng San.

Thus, deducing from this, the only possibilities for who slipped the note through the door crack are Wang Bing or Wang Ning. As for Wang Bing’s child, he’s not yet two years old and can be entirely excluded.

“You…” Zhou Yunmei looked up, her eyes rounded as she stared at Luo Zhiyong. She thought it was bad enough that he wouldn’t help her, but from the way he spoke, he couldn’t wait to drive her out. Is this the attitude a son should have?

Ye Lan and Aunt Gui waited anxiously outside, but dared not urge her, fearing it would add to her stress. Everyone knew how much she cared about the child.

A few strands of hair at her forehead seemed to have been cut, flying neatly and fluttering before her brow.

“Brother Hong, you’re only three hundred or so years old—still young. You should find a virtuous wife instead of spending all your days busy with affairs. Let me tell you, my wife Ji Fengqing’s disciples are quite competent. Next time, I’ll have her choose one for you.” Li Yuanming laughed as he patted Hong Tianzhu’s shoulder.

Even though Jiang Cang had the ability to challenge opponents above his rank, after prolonged attacks, his strength was depleted and his punching speed slowed. The fact that he could withstand half an hour of relentless assault without falling proved his actual combat prowess had reached the mid-stage of the Immortal Infant Realm.
