Volume 1, Chapter 45: Private Tete-a-Tete in the Private Room

Meng Zicheng had confessed his feelings to at least a hundred girls. He couldn't remember a single one himself, yet he was still out here demanding that others regret losing him. I actually used to think of this as casual and genuine frankness on his part.

The rock beast stood motionless before the group, gazing at them quietly without the slightest expression.

Meng Que gave her a look of surprised suspicion. He hadn't expected her to drop the questioning, which was rather strange. Still, it was better that she didn't ask; it saved him some trouble.

"You're courting death!" Long Yu clutched his chest, his face contorted with a fierce and murderous aura. His eyes were bloodshot, and the tyrannical spiritual energy bursting from his body forced those nearby to scramble out of the way. It was clear he had reached the very brink of fury.

Luo Yuanshan choked back a mouthful of pent-up blood, his handsome old face turning the color of a pig's liver.

Thick black mist swirled around the narrow valley entrance, within which dark, shadowy tree silhouettes could be vaguely discerned. Everyone hastily pulled out a brown medicinal pill, shoved it into their mouths, and then scrambled eagerly inside.

The boulder that Duan Ke pointed to was the exact same massive rock he had used to display his strength before Wang Shouyi a few months ago.

"I wonder what business the young lady has with me?" asked a person dressed in a white brocade robe, with a milky-white jade hairpin securing their hair. Their willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly arched, and long eyelashes fluttered over eyes as clear as a spring, accompanied by an exquisite nose and cherry lips of indescribable beauty. This person bowed deeply toward Zihan.

Sitting in the corner, Hua Qianruo's eyes flickered. She picked up a teacup with one hand and lowered her head to take a sip, while her other hand beneath the table clenched so tightly that her nails nearly pierced her skin.

"Lady Miki, this bastard has insulted us Japanese! I demand an apology, but not only does he refuse to apologize, he even resorted to violence against me!" Masanao Murakami complained to Ryugu Miki.

By the time the servants who had accompanied Luo Jinghun from the Luo family came to their senses, the rain of blossoms filling the sky had dissipated, and the swarm of roaming demons that had just faced them had also vanished. Only their young master, Luo Jinghun, lay motionlessly on the ground, his fate—whether dead or alive—unknown.

Those with connections had a way out, able to send their loved ones away to various major sects, but ordinary people were left with absolutely no recourse.

Gasping involuntarily, Bai Yuekui took a slight step forward and entered a void region.

"What's wrong with Xuyang?" Fatty Wang asked. Xuyang replied, "Nothing, let me take another look!" Xuyang's supernatural ability had automatically shut off! This was the first time it had ever been forcibly deactivated.

"Now that Hefeng is dead and has paid the price, can this matter finally be over?" Peng Jifeng asked, harboring a sliver of hope that a miracle might occur.

After searching the vicinity, the group found the sacred incense in a storage room to the right of the altar. The moment the stone door opened, both Richard and Octavian froze in astonishment.

"You're still learning how to write prescriptions, so how can you expect me to have any confidence?" Qiao Huizi chattered incessantly, as if she wanted to pour out all the words she had bottled up inside over the past few days in one go.

Within the immortal cultivation sects, anyone who reached the rank of elder could possess their own private cultivation domain and widely accept disciples to cultivate reserve talent for the sect.

The Heavenly Demons were not fools; naturally, they would not admit in broad daylight that they were Heavenly Demons. After all, across this continent of the Nine Heavens, no matter how fiercely the various immortal sects fought among themselves, the moment they faced extraterrestrial entities like the Heavenly Demons, they would still unite as one.

To the surprise of Lu Tianyu, Shangguan Tianlong, and Su Wanqin, Donggong Yeman was also locked up in the dungeon, along with another male student.

In Caesar's eyes, the entire Redwood Kingdom posed no threat whatsoever, let alone any single faction within it. By directly killing Kalimi and the others, he aimed to provoke the Mages' Guild and goad them into initiating a war.
