Volume 1, Chapter 38: Refusing to Admit Fault and Slandering Me Instead?

Everything that happened on the ground was reflected in a pair of sharp eyes in the sky. Under the cover of invisibility, a scout riding a griffin circled the entire battlefield, then pulled the reins and headed toward the western side of the field.

Black smoke billowed from his body like rivers flowing into the sea, wildly converging into a shifting figure whose face remained indistinct.

“The invaders must be the wicked humans; what strategy could they possibly have? Only to fight to the death,” Ling Ruo said coldly.

Fear consumed Ye Qian’s eyes—not fear of death, but a crushing sense of defeat as if mocked by the gods of fate.

“Move out!” All the helicopters hovering in the sky were destroyed. Rain began to fall, a torrential downpour, but what descended were giant cockroaches. All the helicopters above their ranks vanished, leaving only the cockroaches gradually descending.

“But even so, wiping out an entire special unit like that… it’s too much.” Fei Haoxuan still hesitated, unable to make up his mind.

At this moment, many doctors and nurses watching the scene quietly slipped away as the truth began to surface. Soon, only Jiang Xiaohe remained in the office.

Not knowing was one thing, but when they did the math, it was shocking! The board and others knew the Angel’s Covenant guild had great potential. Since the board’s establishment, their monthly dividends had steadily increased. Yet knowing this was one thing; hearing it come directly from Lexington’s mouth was another entirely, profoundly impactful.

“Clear the way!” Ye Xian narrowed his eyes, deadly intent radiating from him. His fierce gaze left no doubt about his resolve.

The entire Gensokyo Alliance boasted over twenty thousand official players, with the indirectly affected player base at least ten times that number. A significant portion of these were Japanese players in real life.

This event was coincidentally scheduled at Starsea City’s Eighth Middle School. Xiao Heng did not know that Ruo Ying was there. When they arrived, staff were still setting up equipment and preparing the venue. Xiao Heng’s mood was subdued, so he decided to take a walk nearby.

“I’ve waited for you for over six thousand years, Master. You’ve finally found me!” The Nectar of the Jade Blossom spoke, leaving Ula stunned. What? Master? Seeking Shadow thought, could it be… this was the very Jade Blossom Nectar he lost in childhood? Unbelievable.

Patient Zhang Kang was out of danger but still weak and unable to speak much.

After they left, Chen Feng waited for the patrol to come and arrest the two con artists lying on the ground.

She suddenly admired Lewis Wu—he was assertive about his work and always consulted the team if problems arose. In contrast, she merely followed the coach, team doctor, and nutritionist’s instructions without question.

Before Tong Wanxin could react, Mu Chenyuan suddenly appeared behind her, already locked in combat with the masked black-clad figure.

The burning primordial energy coalesced before Qin Ziyun’s eyes, forming a tangible voracious beast. Its body was etched with clear patterns that resembled reality, yet these markings radiated the power of various cosmic principles, devoid of any demonic aura.

“That’s one way, but I also found plenty of your droppings inside the tree hollow. If you gather them and ignite them with dry twigs, the thick black smoke should draw their attention. To be safe, we should use both the wild boar blood and your droppings,” Shang Xin reasoned after some thought.

“If ascension were truly possible, we would certainly do it!” Jiang Xuan nodded earnestly.

Before the contest began, Lei Zi secretly investigated the four disciples under Master Lu. However, except for Lu Hua, the other three had not visited the gym for a long time, so he knew little about them.

In a critical moment, Shen Feng had no choice but to ignore his physical limits and unleash the Divine Might Dawn Break, retreating at the speed of light.

By a stroke of luck, two years later, Zhou An successfully entered the film industry, but unfortunately, only landed minor roles—either playing quirky old ladies or mindless villains.

The first route was through Empress Dowager Cui. She had never favored his entry into the palace and certainly would not postpone it repeatedly. Now that she was more wary of him, once he took the second route, she would undoubtedly oppose him fiercely.

In any case, Su Yue could not fathom why her sister and Ye Zixuan liked the Gossip Array. But seeing them so dutifully following along, she couldn’t just shoo them away.

Though she claimed not to want to watch, her eyes obediently fixed on the phone, fingers slipping across the screen involuntarily.

Had she not known that Empress Xia staged this to outshine Consort Xian’s Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet from last year, she might have thought the Empress deliberately held the banquet in the imperial garden just to spite her, especially since the day’s temperature was hardly welcoming.
