When Zhang Xiaofeng looked at the beautiful Lin Xue, he did not hesitate for a moment and lunged toward her.

The powerful are like a staircase; secrets that seem unknowable in daily life naturally reveal their nature once one takes a step forward. This is the difference in perspective—what is a mystery to the masses ceases to be one once a certain height is reached.

Huang Ye and Zhu Yun were stationed here under the orders of Ye Ning, and the jade slips they were currently studying had also been gifted to them by him.

In Zhang Xiaofeng’s eyes, this man was simply looking for trouble. If he couldn't find one, he could just grab another bath towel; there were plenty left over there. It was generous enough that he hadn't complained about the man being dirty, yet he was still being persistent.

"Let them keep searching. If they can capture a few black monkeys and bring them back, I suspect the wealthy who love novelties will be eager to buy a few to display in their homes," Liu Ming said with a wave of his hand.

Like a ball being struck, the vampire was sent flying instantly. However, he moved no more than half a meter before Han Chi appeared beneath him, delivering another punch that sent the vampire’s body soaring upward, reminiscent of the Rising Dragon Fist.

In the corner sat another lonely figure—slender, with beautiful legs; this was the impression Han Chi formed from observing her profile.

After successfully implanting a celestial root within himself on Earth, he unexpectedly possessed a dual-attribute celestial root of Yin and Yang. By a stroke of fortune, he mastered both the True Fire of the Sun and the True Water of the Moon, granting him unparalleled innate advantages in both alchemy and artifact refining.

Crown Prince Xue Chenglin was not without allies. A large number of Xue family generals from the original Runing Army, along with their subordinates and students, were gathered around the Retired Emperor Xue Lian and the military leader Xue Yongli to safeguard the Crown Prince.

The leaders watched this newcomer with considerable curiosity. After all, the recent rise of Fengchen and its rivalry with Rongyue had naturally reached the ears of those in power.

"How far away do you think the car trailing us is?" the plainclothes officer pondered for a moment, then added another question, accounting for the possibility that the trailing vehicle might be temporarily blocked.

"Your mission—Mission T—remains unchanged. What has changed is the third secondary mission; the location has been moved here." Ouyang Lanshan, his face stripped of all smiles, transmitted a file directly to Tijeru’s computer.

Guild Master Wangchen nodded, said nothing, and returned to the flying boat. He told Luo Tian that the grand formation was indeed damaged. However, observing the steward’s demeanor, he suspected the man was hiding something, and it was highly likely they had sabotaged the teleportation array intentionally.

I must hide my identity and survive in this era; no future player will be able to find me.

With this sigh, the white-clad individual sat back down within the program space at the pinnacle of the world.

It was clear that all these factions were vying for this Child of Destiny. After all, the Human Realm Palace was about to launch a campaign to conquer and unify the mortal world. Whichever faction could secure this Child of Destiny would be favored by the fortune of heaven and earth—a prize so great that even the Human Realm Palace would dare to commit total annihilation to obtain it.

Though choosing a Great Dao was of paramount importance, Zuo Qiuchen decided to set it aside for now. He was currently in the stage of overcoming tribulations, with the Human Tribulation and an unknown Love Tribulation still ahead of him. Daoist Zhouzao and Daoist Daichu were already handling the Human Tribulation, and he believed it would not be long before he passed it safely.

The crowd gasped, with the exception of Hua Zi, whose pure eyes brightened, captivated once again by the way Su Lin held his blade.

Qin Yuqing’s eyes lit up. She had to leave soon, so she needed to settle matters here first. Upon hearing the news, she didn't linger for a second and went straight to find her father, the City Lord.

Then, treading lightly, she crept past the wall where the Mighty General lay.

"Roar!" The White Cherry seemed to sense the threat of death; it locked onto a direction and charged forward with all its might.

After all, the Taigu Sect had always been a very low-profile organization. While this decision seemed slightly abrupt, it was still within the realm of reason.

"I just checked. With this diamond card, we can go to a better seating area upstairs," Long Er said.

"Speak. What exactly do you want? Since I can't fool you, do as you please—kill me or carve me up," Xiao Ming said with disdain. However, his body was taut; if they attempted to shoot him, he was determined to fight to the death.

The platform only stopped when it reached the highest point—a room beneath the clockwork mechanism chamber. The man in robes silently handed Charlotte a stone before descending on the platform again.

In Lin Xiaoxiao’s view, as long as it didn't interfere with daily life, a bit of entertainment was excusable. It was just that her third uncle always seemed to take his indulgences too far, right up until his death.

Wang Tian voiced his thoughts. He had just had a flash of inspiration; in matters like this, unless Yan Zhen had no other motives, any action was bound to be tied to the most critical issue at hand, and currently, there was only one: the promotion of Confucianism.

Thus, amidst further speculation and anxiety, everyone turned their eyes once again toward the dedicated road cleared by the soldiers in the distance.

"I await your good news. I will take good care of the base here, so have no worries," Jun Wuyou said slowly, his gaze exceptionally firm.

Jiang Huai'an took only the contract that belonged to him and handed everything else to a well-known private detective agency, hoping to uncover some clues. After all, he knew nothing about the other party, and it was impossible to trust them completely.
