Chapter 136: Master Seven Eliminates the Specter

The snow that had fallen for a day and a night finally showed a brief lull. A gentle breeze dispersed the dark clouds, casting a few patches of mottled sunlight. Sitting by the restaurant window, a slightly intoxicated Bai Xian narrowed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of the sunlight spots shining on her cheeks. Even the tiniest dust motes in the air took on distinct shapes. What was that called again... the Tyndall effect? Bai Xian murmured somewhat uncertainly. She finished the last cup of Daughter's Red wine on the table and casually tossed down a broken coin.

However, the heavens and earth reacted even more violently than he did. Terrifying entities from beyond the realm were attempting to force their way in, threatening this world, and the world was rejecting and repelling them.

Perio, who had been meditating with eyes closed, suddenly opened them and raised a hand to point at a specific location on the curved star map.

Clustered, dense toxic miasmas were forcefully shattered and dissipated amid the roaring thunder, blown away completely by a fierce gale without a trace.

Coupled with the presence of A-Ming, Wang Lina, and the large hound, their hearing, vision, and sense of smell comprehensively guaranteed the team's reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities. It could be said that when they docked their boat, there were definitely no humans anywhere around.

Besides shock, what else could the crowd feel? This was not the first time Wang Ming had slain a divine bloodline; this was the fourth, or was it already the next one?

From within the Loulan Palace came a furious roar. The armored warrior commander rushed out, leading the four remaining warriors.

"Let's begin!" he said, then stepped harder on the accelerator and plunged toward the surface of the river.

"Yes! It must be! If they still refuse to come out even when we provoke them like this, it means the enemy's strength has hit rock bottom," Mu Yuchen replied.

He frowned slightly. This demonic seed was not particularly strong, but the demonic essence it contained was extremely pure. The demonic seeds condensed by the demons of the Demon Realm at birth could never reach this level—even a Demon King would be no match for this. Exactly what kind of person had set up this conspiracy?

Shao Jie could not be bothered with him anymore. In his eyes, Shi Ruoyu was also a textbook case of a mental patient, and he already understood that this fellow was entirely unreliable. Thus, he simply began to pump up his own team, telling everyone to load their chambers, disengage the safeties, and make final preparations for battle, ready to launch a surprise attack at any moment.

Within this advancing team, Catherine was not as frail and delicate as she appeared. If she wished, she could fight a Red Sun Knight bare-handed and beat him to the ground.

"Where is Bloodstained Setting Sun? I refuse to believe those guys aren't in the underground palace," Gao Yang asked Bloodstained Veil.

"Captain, shouldn't we at least have a training base? Don't tell me we're going to an internet cafe!" Gu Yu recalled how the China Dream Team used to practice exclusively in internet cafes, staying in cheap motels while occasionally participating in various tournaments for prize money.

She quickly logged onto Weibo and discovered that the King of Exposes' page did not mention him leaving the village at all. So where on earth was he?

And even considering his greatest weakness—his age (though the Third Hokage's body was currently weakening, he certainly could not have foreseen that just a few years later, Orochimaru would concoct some "Konoha Crush Plan" to stir up chaos and trouble in the village).

Back then, his boast that he would come to rescue Yun Yi was merely intended to soothe his emotions. Afterward, he completely disregarded Yun Yi's life or death, planning instead to wait for the tribal coalition forces so he could profit from the chaos.

Give me a break, Gao Yang rolled his eyes. Damn it, one point of attack power wouldn't even be enough to deal damage to thin air, let alone kill a Tomb-Guarding Sand Worm.

It was only then that Roshi snapped out of it. Enduring the pain, he let out his grip on Samehada's hilt and pulled his hand away from the sharp spikes.

When the serpent fell into its most vulnerable state, all of its being seemed to unfold. With Mengluo as the primary host, everything about him was thus laid bare before Yun Yi.

"There are about two squads—meaning twenty Black Iron Knights guarding—along with five Glory Knights, but their primary role is to serve as an alarm," Negri recalled the intelligence he had previously obtained.
