35. Scandal 101

After waiting for a moment, someone finally stepped forward, trembling with fear, their limbs shaking.

No one knew beforehand who would be teleported together; not even the Demon Lord Apophis knew, as the spell itself was entirely random.

The sword qi suddenly became erratic, causing the giant web to distort and be pulled toward Shi Huang, slipping out of Pan Feng’s control.

A five-star and a nine-star—there remained an insurmountable gap between them. What Zejin had managed to achieve was already enough to astonish Jin Kai.

Deciding to act immediately, Yang Chong selected an area where several alien ghosts were active. Avoiding those who might recognize his true strength, he took a deep breath, kicked off the ground, and launched himself toward them like a cannonball.

The figure laughed to himself, then suddenly turned to look at Liansheng, who was seated. Liansheng felt a jolt of alarm; he could clearly perceive the man’s biting killing intent. He surmised that the number of lives claimed by this person must be in the thousands or tens of thousands—he was clearly a veteran of the battlefield.

With an Earth-rank martial artist by Lu Tianming’s side, they were too busy trying to escape to even consider revenge.

The old man’s expression shifted. He took a long, hard look at Su Yi, then retracted the finger he had been about to strike with, turning back to deal seriously with the flames exhaled by Wen Ya.

Before the horrified eyes of Lu Tianming and Huangfu Changming, a massive flood dragon surged out and soared into the sky.

Such behavior was originally a bit excessive and could even have invited the resentment of the brothers Wang Zhan and Wang De. But everyone was busy with their own affairs, so no one paid it any mind.

The nurse trembled for a moment, shot me an angry glare, and walked out of the ward.

The surrounding professionals ignored him completely, attacking the Water Spirit King with a crazed fervor.

She never wasted time on inefficient, low-value tasks during working hours.

Having settled into the main hall, Wei Ran asked them if their journey had been smooth and if they had encountered any trouble.

Everything went as Li Bai had anticipated. Before dawn the next day, the sound of thunder rumbled outside, followed by a torrential downpour that poured down from the heavens.

Shen Mian took the chopsticks handed to her by Shang Yu. Internally, she felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, yet on the surface, she remained calm and composed.

The dormitory went quiet as everyone took their midday nap. Zhao Hui was overjoyed; she felt it was a stroke of great fortune to be able to continue her studies at the school, and she was determined to make the most of this opportunity.

Officer Ge checked his watch, exchanged a serious look with Dick, and then ordered the boy to be taken away as he began preparing for that night’s anti-drug mission.

I gave a faint smile and pulled my arm away. "Sir, this was just an accident." Yet, he had no intention of letting me go. He stepped into the circle I had drawn, moved closer, and raised an eyebrow.

One after another, they jumped out to question the situation. After all, everyone knew that traitors like Young Master Xue had committed many evils and were difficult to deal with.

"If I say it, do you believe it?" Huanyan nodded, then argued persuasively, "In business, reputation is paramount. President Gu is famous for his prowess in the business world, so his reputation must come first. I believe President Gu would not deceive someone who has lost their memory."

"Nothing much, just telling you she’s back. Also, ever since she returned from Hong Kong, while she can communicate with male colleagues normally, she has become even more repulsed by men in private. Do you know why?" Zhang Lin asked, her voice tinged with an underlying implication.

Liuchuan was anxious. He had invited Xiao Chen specifically in the hopes that Xiao Chen could help persuade his father, but who would have thought it would become a burden instead?

At this very moment, the Book of Life and Death of the Yellow Springs let out a roar toward the sky, refining the countless divine weapons it had swallowed all at once.

Even without knowing what had happened on the Heavenly Peak, everyone was filled with astonishment at the sight.

Fang Zhennan smiled slightly and pointed a finger. All the myriad paths of the Great Dao illuminated. At that moment, Chu Xuan witnessed a breathtaking scene.

The unconscious Yuzhen sat slumped in the imperial palanquin, forcing the Qianlong Emperor to walk alongside it, moving at a brisk pace.

Chu Xuan took a deep breath and forcibly swallowed a semi-saint herb. He also summoned the Tripod of Xuanhuang Mother Qi and the Primordial Turtle Shell, finally managing to catch up with the creature from the forbidden zone.

Huanyan froze for a few seconds, then immediately turned to look behind her. Their eyes met.

Wantong was a peak early-stage demi-god level member of the Myriad-Eye Reincarnation God Clan; his innate conditions were several times stronger than a human's! How could Li Zhongtian possibly be his opponent?

"Alright, then I’ll return your attack. I’ll give you a chance—use your strongest attack against me. If you can’t kill me, I win!" Lin Feng declared.

Meng Ao’s green sect uniform was particularly striking. As soon as he emerged, Duan Jiuhen fell down right behind him.

One had to pay even at one’s own shop, otherwise, the accounts would be messy. Han Xuan swiped his card—he and Anya were wearing a black-and-white couple’s outfit—and told Gabriel to have the car brought around.

"Archbishop Selan, what is the meaning of this?" Yun Mengfei, seeing there was no way to escape, shouted in anger.

Seeing that magic attacks were ineffective, countless elves produced bows and shot at the mercenaries. But because their strength was weak, the arrows were all shattered by swords, causing no damage to the mercenaries at all. Finally, the mercenaries charged forward.
