29. The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons (V)

The three of them rubbed their noses, none of them understanding what had gone wrong. They gathered together to discuss it, and all arrived at the same conclusion.
Compared with the Astral Gale Eagle, which had lived for over twenty thousand years, Suxin was still far too young. Whether in her understanding of spatial laws or her control over the elements, she was far inferior to it. Thus, the instant the Astral Gale Eagle unfolded its domain, her own Domain of Fire was immediately overwhelmed.
The army on the opposite bank of the Yangtze had grown frantic. Xue Wanqie had lost count of how many times he had cursed. “You filthy thieves! If you have the guts, send over a boat and let your Grandpa Xue cross. Just wait and see if I don’t tear you all apart!”
When one has lost his advantage, facing a single person can feel like facing a boundless sea or a towering mountain. How could he not grow timid, perhaps even be defeated without a fight?
With the secret support of the Demon Sect, his mercenary corps had flourished in Divine Eagle City over the years, growing from the thirty-odd men of its early days to more than three hundred today.
She had grown increasingly uneasy, especially whenever she remembered what that person had said to her over the phone that day in America.
“Your brother is just excited!” Qin Yang said with a laugh. As a congenital expert, he could clearly perceive even the slightest change in Qiao Yiqing’s trembling body in the back seat, despite being behind the wheel. He knew it was a normal reaction before a major event: his adrenaline was surging, and beneath his fear lay a trace of excitement. His emotions were complicated.
There were plenty of branches here, and enough energy available to draw upon. It should be just about sufficient to kill this wounded high-level King Beast—and the Violet Devouring Sky Rat would help as well.
More importantly, Grandmaster Yuan Ke had spoken with such grave determination that he was clearly prepared to obtain this jade carving of the Ksitigarbha King at any cost.
To put it in a painfully corny way, if I were a rich second-generation heir, I would simply slap the keys to a luxury car—or even a villa—right here on the table. With a father-in-law like this, they would be fighting to marry their daughter to me.
This time, she landed directly on the scorching sand. The exposed parts of her body immediately blistered in several places.
The crowd had originally been exhilarated, but upon learning that this was the territory of the Dragon-Scaled Lion, not one of them dared to charge into that world of lava first.
“Give me an explanation. What happened?” Ramon forced the words out through clenched teeth.
After all, Anbang wasn’t running a charity either. We all have grudges against one another—why should I care about your safety?
What else could we do? Since we had already come this far and descended here, we probably could not leave without passing through all three trials.

Fu Qingyang had not expected his mistake to lead to the right result. Hongming Tuwu had originally intended to use those spirits and monsters to attack him and Gu Xiaoxiao, but he had never imagined that they would all be absorbed by the golden Eight Trigrams diagram, thereby increasing its spiritual power. It was truly an unexpected blessing.
Ellman had no time to wonder why a guest coming for a sauna would be carrying a gun. He dashed toward the staircase at the rear of the building, and only after hiding around the corner did he have time to draw his own weapon.
As Shuiyue spoke, tears had already streamed down her face. Yet she used profound energy to freeze them into ice and stubbornly finished those few sentences in a calm voice.
But thinking about it now was useless. They could only wait until they entered the Ancient Dao Realm again in the future. Given Xiao Letian’s strength, he should also have a way to suppress the Wind Clan’s ancestor.
Within the Hall of Cloudstar, the King of Cloudstar stood before the window with his hands clasped behind his back. His淡淡 gaze was fixed on the distant horizon, where the sky had formed an enormous vortex greedily drawing in the surrounding vital energy.
Once everything had been packed, she even gave him two lotus cakes. Though he repeatedly refused them, she forcibly stuffed them into the bag, leaving him no choice but to accept them.
When he reached the room, he was even more surprised. The bedding had been laid out thickly, and it was all new. He was almost reluctant to sleep beneath it.
The man gave An Xia a look. She stepped forward and placed the flowers in her hand beside the head of the bed.
Lin Qiaoxin was helpless. She had known Liu-shi would use such a tactic again, but this time she would not yield.
“Then you’re asking the wrong person,” Qiu Luo replied, spreading his hands and making an expression of helplessness as he looked at Yun Luotian.
No, no. He had to give Uncle Quan a proper lesson. It seemed the old man had been letting his imagination run wild.
“No. We have something more important to do.” Liu Hao spread out the map. “We have already entered deep into the Molten Mountains. We are more than three hundred li from Feng Mountain. At full speed, we can get there within an hour.”
She could see that the dough had been prepared and the filling was ready, but she could not tell how they differed from ordinary ones. She was so anxious that she scratched her head and tugged at her ears.
The program had been livestreaming for nearly an entire day. Many viewers had left Douyu because they had other things to do, but countless more people had heard about the broadcast and came flooding in.
This discovery, combined with her unusually perceptive nature, immediately made her think of the word “too” in Andy’s remark.

“Have you finished arguing?” A thunderous shout came from the other side, startling Ling Xiao and the others. The people opposite had used true energy.
“I smell food.” From far away, they could already see lamplight piercing through the rainforest and shining outward. Chen Chichi’s eyes lit up at once.
The enemy was clearly right ahead, yet they could not catch up. They had been pursuing them for a long time, and they were now farther and farther from Porto City.
“Promotion games: the game scenarios one must undergo to advance from a beginner player to an intermediate player, or from an intermediate player to an advanced player.”
“My lord is here!” Bai Zhen waved the battle flag and held it before her. Blinding light burst from her entire body as a spherical barrier formed around her. The poisonous flames could not penetrate it in the slightest.
A few minutes later, the aura Ling Xiao had released gradually subsided. Amid the calm and unruffled atmosphere, he opened his eyes.
Nevertheless, the people present held little hope for this uninvited guest.
That night, a certain young master returned to his room exhausted. The moment he dropped onto the bed, a sudden pain struck him in the backside. His entire body jolted, and he sprang into the air.
Perhaps she was simply too pathetic. The magical beasts that came charging past all regarded her with contempt.
He had even discovered that Di Peng and the others were packing their belongings and buying travel provisions. Apparently, they intended to leave with him.
Luo Ningxin secretly remained on guard. Although this Core Formation Adept’s aura was upright and tranquil, suggesting that she was a righteous cultivator who practiced the Dao, the murderous air emanating from her was in no way inferior to that of the evil cultivators from Wuyu Kingdom.
