Volume 1, Chapter 40: Spirit Boy and Spirit Girl

Thirty miles east of the Demon-Slaying Holy Land lies Lingbao City, home to the Lingbao Chamber of Commerce. The city was established in such proximity to the holy land precisely because of their long-standing mutual interests. Furthermore, independent cultivators from hundreds of miles around frequent Lingbao City for trade, ensuring a constant stream of warriors passing through its streets.

At this moment, Chu Tianxing and his party of over a dozen individuals, all draped in silver alchemy robes, stepped into the city together. Wherever they passed, the warriors on the street would make way, their gazes filled with respect and even a hint of sycophancy. This was because the thirteen elders of the Alchemy Academy following behind Chu Tianxing each had eight stars embroidered upon the black cauldron emblem on their left chests...

I felt his body stiffen intensely, as if he were overwhelmed by an emotion he hadn't felt in a long time, only for that feeling to be replaced by a deep, somber weight.

She roared fiercely, "Tang Ying, it's you again!" She picked up a cup and wanted to smash it against my head. I instinctively closed my eyes, but the cup never fell.

The sharp dagger was a fine treasure; its properties were enough to make many green with envy. After equipping this blade, Lin Feng’s strength doubled instantly, bringing his attack value to 29 points.

"Ziyue, tell me, has there ever been a place for me in here?" he asked with great difficulty, his life force slipping away bit by bit as he reached out to point at her heart.

Qiu Ming tossed out a pill casually. He had plenty of these low-grade pills, and they were easy to refine. Usually, he kept them as rations for his magical items, but once those items mastered the technique of the Howling Celestial Dog, these would be useless anyway.

"Feel free to share your speculations," Nick Fury gestured to Natasha, signaling for her to continue.

"Hahaha, I’ve lived long enough. I trust the promise made by Priest Yang. Come, I’m not even afraid of death, why would I fear pain?" The young man wore a look of defiance.

...Jin Yan actually accompanied him to the supermarket! And they went to buy groceries to cook together! Could it be that they even did chores together today?

"Don't rush. We’ll finish breakfast, then take one bus and we'll be there," he said, picking up a pancake and taking a bite.

After discussing business, Tony asked about Daisy and advised Wang Kai to be more mindful of the safety of those around him. He had assigned quite a few bodyguards to Pepper; as long as they weren't superpowered beings, ordinary assassins or mercenaries couldn't harm her.

Pei Junhao paced back and forth in the hallway, regretting that he had come to London for a paternity test. Had he not, he wouldn't have been hunted by Li Zhibing, and the child wouldn't have been lost. He wondered how heartbroken Zhihan must be right now.

Only by passing the Emperor’s test would she have a future, and only then could she remain Tie Ying’s mother and the Empress of the Guzhu Kingdom.

Inside the Emperor’s tomb, there was utter chaos; pills and magical artifacts were scattered everywhere, and blood was visible on all sides, the stench thick and pungent.

"Why, are you angry with your husband?" Yi Yuefeng reached out, his hand touching Lin Hanxi’s cheek. The smooth, soft sensation made his hand tremble slightly, though he masked his panic without a trace.

As soon as she left the room, Liang Manru, arm-in-arm with Pei Junhao, had already gone upstairs. She hurried to turn back into her own room.

Walking barefoot on the thick cashmere carpet, it felt soft but offered no warmth at all. After only a few steps, a chill crept up from the soles of my feet, crawling up my legs, threatening to engulf me entirely.

"Li Hao, you cannot leave the hospital! Go back and get your IV!" Tang Hui saw Li Hao walking out from afar and ran over anxiously, shouting.

I sneered. If leaving were that simple, I would have left back when I was still in the castle.

Without the restrictive leather armor, especially the chest piece, she felt her breathing grow much easier. With a burst of strength from her slender waist, she leaped out again, though this time it seemed she had surpassed her previous limits.

The clash of swords drew the attention of Karsas' two griffin knights, Dadaniel and Payne.

The Demon King gathered his courage and whispered a few words into Mo Yan's ear; the rage on her face gradually began to calm.

"I did not expect you to walk such a strange path within the Cave Heaven Realm," Xuanyuan said calmly after explaining everything to Qin Tian.

Rorian roared, unable to hear the response of the Swadian knights, hearing only the shrill cries of the horses under the stimulation of the knights' spurs.

"What? What did you say?" The blood in Bai Luo’s body froze. Bai Xia said she was going to be a mother?

"Hanshi, thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed," Luo Zixiu said, gripping Shi Mei’s hand in gratitude.

Therefore, any faction that stood as an enemy of the Qin State feared and dreaded the members of the Yin-Yang School.

The distance of five miles was not long for them. Despite the dense forest hindering their speed, they reached the site of the battle within a few minutes.

In the future, it might even influence Chu Tiance’s tempering and control over the Dark Sword King bloodline.

Liu Handong did not respond immediately, instead looking at Long Tianqi. He believed Long Tianqi must have a way to handle this; otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed a plan so disadvantageous to himself.

Yuan Cheng and Wang Fu exchanged glances, seeing both secret joy and firm resolve in each other’s eyes.

"Take your dirty feet off!" Luo Wuchen roared, his face twisted as he glared fiercely at Pang Tianya. Seeing the dozen members of the Luo family severely injured and unable to rise, his rage intensified, and he charged violently at Pang Tianya.

In real life, various extreme sports enthusiasts still face a high mortality rate, even after achieving mastery through practice.

"Sigh." Seeing the Second Prince had no interest in managing the Empire, the Grand Preceptor shook his head in resignation, leaving the great hall with a weary look on his face.

At this moment, Wan Miao also looked up and stared at Zhang Lei, then picked up another bite of food, lowered his head, and began to chew slowly. Seeing Wan Miao’s gaze, Zhang Lei lowered his head and picked up his chopsticks without a word.

"Haha, as expected, I cannot hide anything from you, Senior. Yes, this junior indeed wishes to descend to the lower realm to bring my wife to the Myriad Worlds Dimension," Shen Tian replied with a smile.
