Chapter 114: This Is My Pledge of Allegiance to You (3)

Min Xue was taken aback. In an instant, she understood the reason Li Wenwen dared to trouble her here. It turned out Li Wenwen had no worries holding her back. At this moment, Min Xue realized more deeply that Li Wenwen had come today with the intention of burning her bridges. No matter what Min Xue said, Li Wenwen would not stop what she was about to do.

The next morning, dawn was just breaking. Li Qiang, who was used to rising early, kicked the bed board of the upper bunk. Seeing that Wang Feng was gone, he cried out in surprise, his shout waking all the soldiers in the dormitory. The team members hurriedly dressed and began searching for Wang Feng.

"That's good, that's good. There's no rush to report to His Majesty, no rush. We'll wait until Miss Wu Ma recovers," Kai Lai said with an awkward smile.

Ye Xiao glanced at the serrated short dagger in his hand and murmured, "Two more to go." This was the best weapon Ye Xiao possessed, his foundation for maintaining a foothold in the underworld of Copper Hill City.

"Ancient ape?" Zhu Hong hadn't known about Yuan Qiang's bloodline before; now he finally understood. The ancient ape was no ordinary demon clan—it was far stronger even than the Zhuque clan. Yuan Qiang's awakening of the ancient ape bloodline explained his formidable talent.

He was using the head of a demon as a stepping stone, flying toward the very center of the pit. In an instant, he reached the silver spear that radiated its own cold gleam and pulled it out.

During the year of his birth sign, Ah Fa heard adults say that people encountering their birth year would have good luck that year. Ah Fa eagerly anticipated what this luck would look like, but never saw it. Yet, living quietly and simply with his family, he felt happy and content.

Among common folk, misunderstanding often arose. Those who had been frightened excessively suffered blood pressure blockages or rapid blood accumulation, causing chaos in the brain’s meridians, which led to misinterpretation as hauntings by spirits.

The old dragon never emerged again, nor did the waters rise. Sometimes, out of curiosity, people went to see; it was said if you pulled the iron chain out a bit, you’d hear a “whoosh” sound, followed by “splash, splash.” No one dared pull further, fearing the old dragon would be released. Letting go, the chain would clatter back into the well.

Just as Li Ren charged forward, the humanoid bat instantly vanished. His blade slashed empty air, and Li Ren immediately shed his dismissive attitude, whirling around to strike behind him. A burst of sound echoed, and several deep yellow hairs dropped to the ground. Li Ren quickly stowed his blade and protected himself.

In a blink, Ya Dong caught sight of a blue shadow—a spider’s leg, unmistakably from the blue arachnid. Ya Dong’s face paled; he dispersed the ineffective Black Wind Palm attack. The energy blood wings on his back surged to meet the blue shadow.

The object that opened the dimensional space was still in his "Xuanming Space." The Wang family could never obtain it.

"Aiya!" The three stomped their feet in anger. Now not only would the three of them die, but another would be added.

Not many days later, that inevitable news and the long-awaited military order finally arrived, as the wind and falling feathers had hoped.

Faced with this turn of events, Young Master Meng was speechless. He had prepared for a fierce battle, but the situation developed entirely contrary to his expectations.

With their cultivation, they should have sensed Xue’er’s arrival. Most likely, from the moment Xue’er entered the River of Forgetting, Director Zhuang and the Wu Xiang Dao Sect were already well aware.

Yet the Underworld was half a tier higher than the Nether Realm. Though the new Underworld Emperor, Tang, had not fully consolidated his power, he still easily defeated the Nether Realm.

Nineteen years of purity and restraint, enduring hardships and weeping them dry; though the leap to glory is not yet possible, the king’s return awaits the right moment to soar.

Galbren laughed, "Gone, and returned again. I heard you’re quite impressive, even butting heads with your own Emperor."
