Volume One, Chapter 29: Zhao Yuanshan’s Perfect Scheme

Yun Zifei spoke in all seriousness, with no hint of jest. Was her brother really so useless? In that moment, Jiang Zhuofang suddenly felt an urge to kick her, but after restraining himself several times, he ultimately let it go.

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, turned, and began to walk out. When he reached the doorway, he paused; his voice drifted back.

“It’s good that you’re awake now,” Long Ling said with a bitter smile, his face darkening. He fell silent, for not far ahead lay the ancestral grounds of the Long family. Even at a distance of a hundred yards, the raucous commotion could be heard—disorderly and tense, a sure sign of calamity.

Having spent many years in the Demon Sect, the Blood Fiend was extremely familiar with Miao Li. The moment he met Miao Li’s gaze, the Blood Fiend understood: if he didn’t offer a solution, within the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he would surely be killed.

“Now I can be certain—as long as I conceal myself, the other party won’t be able to detect me,” Yi Yang’s eyes brightened.

“Sigh, with my temper, if you don’t let go, how am I supposed to wipe your hand clean? Haven’t you noticed your palm is drenched with sweat?” Tong Lexi glared at Xu Mosen, both annoyed and helpless.

“If I were you, I’d slap him right in the face. These ‘playboys’—I hear there are plenty in the mortal world. Now’s your chance: as long as he hands over the Yin Order and agrees to two requests of mine, I’ll open the cell door immediately and lay out a fine meal, making amends to you both.”

“In any case, the fact that you reached the ninth level has already exceeded my expectations. In tens of thousands of years, you are only the second to set foot here,” said the spirit of the tower.

The door to the private room was also wooden, the sliding kind. Tong Lexi’s heart brimmed with delight at the sight.

Qin Xinyu shot a cold look at Qin Chengyu, unmoved by his words. With a mocking smile, she said, “Father, it’s useless. Look, here he comes.” As she spoke, she pointed toward the doorway.

Even more crucial was that the mightiest deity of the Pangu world, also its greatest divine archer, Hou Yi, had nocked an arrow and aimed it straight at the Ancestor God. Five concentric rings of mental force swirled about the arrow, creating an invisible sense of threat that forced the Ancestor God Liang to divert his attention to defense.

“Huh?” Shiha Kasumigaoka stared, wide-eyed at Huiyuan Makoto, equally baffled by the nonsensical conversation.

Feng Yuyao had not anticipated Feng Yuyao’s series of actions; he knew that Feng Yuyao cared even more than himself about the child in Li Pian’er’s womb, but had not expected such an outburst of anger.

“In that case, Your Majesty, could you find a way to let Da Mo and me journey to that alternate universe so we may negotiate with the Alchemy Master in person?” Li Ming ignored Da Mo Daojun’s meaningful glances and asked forthrightly.

“Didn’t we already discuss that?” Yu Changsheng replied, cigarette dangling from his lips, looking at her in confusion.

Because Xichai and the others also needed time to prepare themselves, Li Pian’er’s bathing preparations fell to the other maids. After a flurry of activity, Li Pian’er finally fell asleep, and it was already midnight.

Its green shield immediately lost a fifth of its strength, and the red health bar diminished as well. By pure accident, I had struck its weak spot.

It was clear that the Grand Elder had sensed a threat from Lin Gui, which was why he was so determined to eliminate him at all costs.

If Lin Gui were just a little stronger, he would truly have wanted to kill Steward He and Elder Wu.

The academy, in order to cultivate its students’ combat abilities and experience, allowed sparring matches among them. The rules for such matches were simple: first, no excessive force; second, no duels during forbidden times or in prohibited places. Aside from these two, there were no other restrictions.

A black net was produced, and what remained were some odd objects Liu Dingtian couldn’t identify—perhaps animal bones. The black storage pouch was otherwise empty.

Chen Lin casually dialed 10086, then swept his phone over various secluded corners. Well-versed in surveillance, he knew exactly where bugs were most likely hidden. When he scanned the gap beneath a wooden cabinet, the phone signal was suddenly and severely disrupted.

“Four levels, is it? I wonder what the probability is of becoming a cultivator in the Fang Kingdom?” Zhou Wutian inquired.

Liu Dingtian nodded. He had already noticed that spirit energy was thinnest at the white point and had resolved to try escaping from there.

Searching around, he finally discovered a halo of light in a hidden passageway. It was invisible to the naked eye—an astral phenomenon left behind by the Twin Star Souls after their fall.

It turned out that this Hermes was in fact the Hermes from that earlier moment in time. Traveling at the speed of light, he caught up with Izumi Tenki’s footsteps, not only journeying to the past but even arriving at her particular moment.

Clang, clang, clang—the process continued, transforming the gases within Mu Ziyun’s body into gold coins. But soon he realized Mu Ziyun was no longer breathing. Violent thunder energy filled his body, and any coins that formed were instantly pulverized. Deprived of air, Mu Ziyun’s body shrank to half its size, as thin as kindling.

“These city walls are so high and thick,” Chai Fei remarked. As the carriage drew nearer, they finally noticed how different these walls were from any other city’s.

Gu Miaoling stood behind Pan Min, her lips pursed in disapproval, but at this point she could no longer find fault with Chen Lin. Over the past five days, his prowess had been amply demonstrated—even the most nitpicking could only concede.

A flicker of embarrassment flashed in Shi Run’s eyes, but with Old Man Duan and that fifty million in final payment behind her, retreat was not an option.

In the Condor Heroes world, since the storylines are interconnected, once you complete the task in the Legend of the Condor Heroes world, the following missions become much easier. However, after that, the Divine Condor world will be completely altered.
