48 The Twenty-Fourth Person

Today, the human race won its first battle thanks entirely to the teacher’s strategy in capturing the Candle Dragon alive. This not only greatly boosted the prestige of the human race but, with the Candle Dragon seized, it was enough to intimidate the other races, ensuring they would not invade the Nine Continents anytime soon.

Alice was clearly caught off guard by his question but did not cancel Wei Zijie’s participation; instead, she appeared to be deep in thought.

Meanwhile, behind an ancient tree hundreds of miles away, Lin Yi and his companions all wore stern expressions, their brows tightly furrowed.

“Brother, of course we know about Zhong Xinkai. When I was in first grade, Zhong was just graduating, so I only heard of him but never met him. Everyone said he was incredible—he even dared to hit teachers.”

As Zhang Kuang’s voice fell, the corpses began to change; the charred bodies started to wither, their bellies swelling, and suddenly around Zhang Kuang’s eyes appeared a dozen or so balloons.

No one knew what the future held, so everyone was determined not to leave any regrets behind now.

Old Yun Yaotian, when you were ambitiously trying to seize the Martial God Palace, you probably never imagined a prodigy would soon astonish you.

Wang Baldy sneered coldly, “That’s for the best. You’d better behave yourself. You know my methods well—if you go too far, it will definitely not end well for you.”

Deep in the cosmos, a figure shrouded in a faint glow descended from the heavens, catching the eyes of cultivators from myriad races.

When he stepped alone into the enveloping darkness, it was Lin Shiyu who gifted him a dazzling array of starlight.

They weren’t worried about his driving skills; they were simply captivated by his charm.

Thus, when news came that Liu Tianhao had already led his troops to Yingtai City in Julu Commandery, Fat Dong suddenly recalled a conversation that took place outside the commandery city on the Hetao Grassland half a year ago.

This was the sign that action was imminent. Having followed Xun Qing for so long, Miao Miao had developed a certain tacit understanding.

Baili Mu decided to leave the Zhelan Empire with Baili Yongjia and Oulan, along with Jia Xuan, never to return. Knowing he would no longer see his beloved grandfather, he wished to visit him once more before departing.

“Remember what I told you today: until we have solid evidence, do not expose Fan Jingyun. No one is to speak of it—not even your mother or brother.” Upon entering the Jiang household, Jiang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but remind his son again, worried Jiang Bokai might let something slip.

The elderly man was now drenched in sweat, clearly drained by the immense effort. Under this internal and external strain, the meridians of Heavenly Origin Earth Sea Venerable Tao Mingyi had shattered into fragments. Should the forces become unbalanced even slightly, Tao Mingyi would perish outright.

Zimeng covered her face with both hands, embarrassed by his words and unable to face anyone—she never expected he would mock her afterward.

Startled by two large wolves, upon returning to the villa, Liu Fei had calming and tranquilizing medicine prepared for Liu Jingyue, who only then managed to fall asleep.

All of this had happened by chance—something no one had ever encountered before. Long Aolang of course could not comprehend it.

The enemy’s strength was not what frightened Liangzi; what scared him was the uncertainty of their true power. This confusion left Liangzi unsettled. Looking at the hundred strong men behind him, he finally felt somewhat reassured.

Zongheng pointed his hand, and an ancient sword immediately hovered before him. Without hesitation, he leapt onto it.

Beneath the sunlight filtered into fragmented patches by dense leaves, the Sea-Calming Pearl hanging around Ziqi’s neck gleamed brilliantly. Its blue hue shimmered with a fresh, verdant green, radiating a vitality that seemed full of life.

“Who is Zhao Ya?” Liu Shuang asked in confusion. No wonder he had inexplicably acquired the Essence of Fire and Essence of Wood before. It turned out there was human intervention and some hidden connection involved.

“No problem at all! Of course, all operations must follow the guild’s rules! Besides, who would object to getting paid?” Sha Pu casually replied. Then he gave a subtle nod to his two companions, who glanced toward the door.

In truth, from the very beginning, the establishment of Zhao Kingdom was inseparable from the cultivators of the world. There existed a delicate balance between mortals and sorcerers. If either side recklessly broke it, no good would come.

Recalling the agony of the blood energy and auspicious cloud pendant struggle, Long Aolang could not forget the pain etched in his soul. Had he not persevered each time, he would not be alive today.

“Remember to use this.” At the door, Meng Qingqing set down two bottles of diluted toilet cleaner before stepping back.

“Wonderful! The master has finally succeeded in the rescue!” Seeing the dark demon dragon, Hong Ye’s eyes brightened, tears trembling down her face.

They then brought Xiong Ti and Guan Muxue to a certain district, where the shops were all grand and magnificent. Large plaques hung above the entrances, their bold characters visible from afar: “Yuelai Inn,” “Hongfa Hostel,” “Jinyuan Hall,” “Tianfu Hotel,” and many others.

Everyone felt an overwhelming sorrow, yet no one dared utter a word. After all, there was a difference between drinking first and drinking later—they did not want to be the first to act.

However, Lailiya and Tony had truly entered in their physical bodies, which could not adapt to the strange rules of this otherworldly space.

The army of cultivators looked at Qin Luo with fear and disbelief, as if still unable to accept the defeat of their own sect leader.

The man was unprepared. At the moment Lin Feng’s murderous aura struck, he was unable to dodge and could only use his arms to block.

After the humans all left, Keluo approached and wrapped his tentacles around a blue crystal stone, holding it before his eyes to examine it closely.

The shopkeeper, upon seeing Ye Xiran’s head injury and the celebrity-like bodyguard trailing behind her, immediately sneered with disdain.
