Volume One, Chapter 24: I’ll Stay with You

Dai Huadong, sitting in the cockpit, felt only a sharp pang in his head, after which nothing happened. Conversely, the Death Douluo suddenly stalled, only to be blown away by a cannon blast from Island.

Cheng Jinsong stared at the corpse with a frown. Xu Rou and Su Muhan also wore strange expressions. Li Jiayu looked at Cheng Jinsong, seemingly seeking his opinion.

"We swear to follow our Young Master to the death!" Under the pressure of life and death, the members of the Ma clan shouted in unison.

Ye Tian also checked his attire, though his taste in clothing differed significantly from Hua Meiyan's.

"But is this truly feasible? If your guess is wrong, you will be facing the pressure of dozens of War Gods. Even with the fusion of spiritual power and soul energy, it would be impossible to withstand them!" Emperor Meng Tian said solemnly. This was a matter concerning the safety of the entire continent, and there was no room for carelessness.

War was imminent, yet it would not break out in the short term, as both sides were somewhat hesitant to strike first. However, conflict was inevitable; the Star Luo Empire, having been the first to deploy its main forces to the Mingdou Mountain Range, could not simply allow the Sun Moon Empire’s reinforcements to gather there.

When the five brothers arrived, all but Li Longji wore expressions of astonishment.

Loaders pulled shells engraved with special patterns from the ammunition crates and shoved them into the magazines. Then, accompanied by a roar, the shells traced an arc through the sky, piercing the soul-guided shield as if it were paper, leaving holes in their wake before finally landing on the heads of the soul masters below.

The mutants who had followed Wu Yang began to panic. How could so many mutants have died? Was this a trap, meant to lure them here to be slaughtered?

Her exquisite and perfect features left him somewhat dazed, especially those eyes, as deep as the sea and imbued with a mysterious, psychedelic quality that made one yearn to lose themselves within them.

Even from behind his mask, one could sense that his astonishment had reached the point of overflowing.

Gu Shuang'er was fast asleep in her bed at that moment. To avoid her absence being discovered, she had covered herself with two layers of quilts, feigning illness.

Although Luo Lie had been missing for three years, he remained the head of the Thieves' Sect as long as his death had not been officially announced.

Almost the day after completing his transaction with Stephen, the interstellar merchant departed from Mortala.

Aita Star was the third administrative planet in the Spark star system. There were four such planets in total; Beta Star and Alpha Star had already fallen, and the survivors on Aita Star and Sigma Star had entered a state of Red Alert.

The figure descending from Jiangzhou City was Dian Wei. The fierce-looking warrior landed heavily, his twin halberds striking the ground with such force that the compacted earth shattered instantly, accompanied by thin yet dense streams of red light spreading from the fissures.

Most craftsmen inherently preferred a low-profile and steady style. Chen Feng's reckless behavior caused some dissatisfaction among his peers.

Among them were the siblings Li Zhaolu and Li Xinyu. Both looked rather bedraggled, clearly having had a miserable time dealing with the traps along the way.

In a realm yet to be explored by humans, ancient clans, or demons, a smooth lake lay like pure white jade. A pale yellow stone hovered above the water, its faint light pulsing like a heartbeat.

Although Ram did not fully grasp Li Mu's ultimate plan, he could see that the current situation was clearly not what Li Mu had desired.

"We shall see when the time comes." Zhou Yu smiled slightly. There were several hundred shad fish in his pond—about seven hundred in total. Once they matured, the shad he nourished with spirit beast bone powder would not be as cheap as the two or three hundred yuan per jin found in external commercial farms.

The original Hainan Silver Note Bureau was reorganized into the Hainan Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Hainan Prince’s Mansion and the largest comprehensive bank in Hainan.

Spiritual illusion? Virtual reality? Or was it truly the ability of this white-clad, barefoot man? Li Mu could not be sure. He simply watched quietly, his mind struggling to find a fitting word to describe what lay before him.

"Very well, Your Highness. I shall take my leave now. I will deliver the rental contract for Chongming Island to you tomorrow morning. Take care of yourself!" Huang Jinrong rose and left the International Hotel.

"In a good mood? What exactly is the happy occasion? You were fuming just a moment ago, and now a single text message has you this excited?" Chen Tiandu asked, utterly bewildered.

A faint, subtle smile touched the corner of Saint Luntuin’s mouth. Since Zi Chen had managed to escape today, he would simply wait patiently for his return.

If it were merely a replica, it would be of little use. What a Desolate Rune Master needed was a genuine Rune-Refining God Furnace; replicas were practically useless.

Yue Sheng walked toward the shop, pausing with every step, as passersby cast looks of sympathy and pity upon her.

Just as Yun Yun had finished storing her milk tea into her storage ring and emerged from the cave, she was momentarily stunned to see a red lion appearing at the entrance.

The structure of the collapsed basins and the Yin Mountains determined the ominous nature of the area according to the theories of Feng Shui and geomancy.

Lian Xi’s delicate body trembled slightly. Having traveled extensively, she naturally knew the origin of the Great Zhou Black List and what it signified.

Jiang Ningxu pushed the door open and entered. Jiang Hanyang’s friend had to return in a couple of days to get back to work. Since they were scheduled to leave tomorrow, Jiang Ningxu had just booked the flight tickets. The man had insisted it wasn't necessary, saying he didn't care about the money, and that he was doing this for Jiang Hanyang’s sake rather than Jiang Ningxu’s.
