Volume 1, Chapter 45: The Voting Results

Jin Yi had originally thought the appearance of these two would lend him a hand, never expecting things to turn out this way. Unwilling to dwell on it any longer, he surged his true essence, preparing to take flight into the air and make his escape.

"Sister-in-law is truly a person of noble and busy affairs," Madam Lou said, eyeing the fourth branch's family dressed entirely in brand-new attire, unable to conceal the heavy sourness in her tone.

"Get up, get up! Don't call me young master from now on; call me principal! Do you understand?" Zihan's vanity was immensely satisfied.

The thick fog here seemed to have dissipated a great deal. Whether it was due to the movement of the vines, Shen Tianlan felt that she could finally breathe somewhat.

Seeing that he was not one of the twins, yet walked with such a swaggering, chest-out stride and an air of supreme confidence, Beijue couldn't help but wonder just how many experts the Divine Realm Gate actually possessed.

The brilliant radiance of various magical beast cores nearly dazzled the old mage's eyes. With a wave of his hand, he swept all these cores into his spatial ring.

Usually, Su Bingxia would come to pester him around this time. Today, she hadn't shown up, leaving him with much more peace and quiet.

There was no help for it. Since one was trapped inside a dog hole, one had no choice but to bark like a dog. For all his careful calculations, he had failed to anticipate that this celestial beast would actually know how to bark.

The six realms cultivate spiritual Qi, but spiritual Qi simply does not exist in the Underworld. This place is entirely filled with a substance known as "Underworld Waves." Formless and colorless, although somewhat similar to spiritual Qi, it is fundamentally something that cannot be fused with it.

"Just because of this, she holds such a grudge against you?" Hua Lingyu had a gut feeling there was a deeper reason.

As the situation developed to this point, Wu Qingshen, riding his long-eared mount, rounded a corner, cutting off the field of view within the live broadcast.

The one attacking Lu Xue was none other than Huangfu Jue. He absolutely could not tolerate anyone speaking ill of Murong Qingyan. Regardless of whether Lu Xue uttered those words in a moment of desperation, in his eyes, they were utterly unforgivable.

Ruchu's massive serpent body teleported instantaneously through the air, leaving trails of bloody spots everywhere it passed.

The young man who drank the solidification potion showed no external abnormalities on his body, but Zheng Yichen knew that the moment the potion was consumed, its effects began to take hold. It was simply that this efficacy remained in a dormant state until the user's body suffered damage or exertion.

However, no matter what, this Shen Lisi was someone she had nurtured for many years. To destroy him just like that made her feel a twinge of regret in her heart. Therefore, she really needed to think carefully about whether Shen Lisi could still be salvaged.

Yet such a risk was not very high for Chen Bujian. As long as his spiritual power was not completely exhausted and only transformed into certain objects or land within the dreamscape game, it could be re-converted into spiritual power by Chen Bujian and recycled for reuse.

Ancient creatures were immensely powerful and unique. Although none of them could emerge from the dungeons, through observation and understanding within the illusory world, it was true that ancient creatures were powerful, but dealing with them was actually not that difficult—even though a considerable portion of those ancient creatures could only be considered "ordinary powerables" in modern times.

In her memories, the eldest uncle who always wore a gentle smile, and the eldest aunt who treated her so tenderly, seemed somewhat different now.

"Big Brother Fengyuan, why aren't you speaking? What are you thinking about so intently?" said the blue-robed young man to the other youth beside him, who had a contemplative gaze and was at the late stage of the Void Flying Realm.

"The fourth sister has her own plans for such matters." Although she had no idea what her sister was thinking, she knew that Runjun certainly wouldn't want them to intervene.

"This subject thanks Your Ladyship for your meticulous care. Even breaking my bones to pieces would not be enough to repay Your Ladyship's heavenly grace. This subject..." Overwhelmed with emotion, Prime Minister Wang wept once more.

The white fox, already named Buyu, did not feel the same way. Her memories had been tampered with by the Spirit Dao Venerable. She was the one who had bitten off that Buddhist bead, leading to the Arhat being punished. Since the Arhat was her savior, she had completely forgotten the previous scheme hatched with her master.

"How else did you think it would be? You actually couldn't defeat a mortal and just let him—" Luo Yan could not go on. The mere thought of it filled him with rage.

Just as everyone looked toward the back courtyard with a sudden intuition, another ear-shattering, resonant hum abruptly sounded. Under Gongsun Changming's control, the Xuanyuan Sword leaped out of its scabbard. The moment it broke free from the sheath's restraint, two giant characters formed from invisible Qi blades spontaneously manifested in the sky: "Holy Dao."

Nitian Kuangzhan paused, about to fly into a rage, but upon second thought, this Lanyu was a powerhouse mage who had consistently stayed in the top ten of the level rankings. Moreover, Lanyu currently bore no guild affiliation. If they could recruit Lanyu, it would greatly benefit the future development of the Cloud Dragon Society.

The Mountain Imp felt its hair stand on end under Nie Chen's gaze. It grabbed Lu Zhan, who was closest to it, and pulled him over, speaking viciously with a tone full of threats. Such an obvious act of framing made the corners of Nie Chen's mouth twitch violently.

"Do you want it?" Yuzhu buried her head deep into the embrace of Wild Brother. Her heart, her mind, and a certain part of her body were completely overflowing like a river of spring water.

Zhang Lizhi did not decline Murong Shan's invitation and drove straight to Murong Shan's residence. As for visiting Zhuang Na, Zhang Lizhi could only postpone it for a little while.

Following that was the Arhat saving Buyu, and Buyu following him—these scenes were all too familiar because they had appeared in dreams countless times.

A minotaur monster suddenly had sharp ice spikes erupt from beneath its feet, and the last remaining health of this monster was instantly drained to zero. At that exact moment, a figure gradually emerged from behind the monster, looking somewhat depressed as it watched the minotaur collapse limply.

Yao Yi had been given a thorough beating and now lay sprawled across He Siyuan's lap, putting on a pitiful expression.

"That should be right, except we ought to take this path." A sudden thought had just flashed through Tang Cheng's mind: as long as one had the scroll fragment, any path would lead to the same destination.

By this time, Luo Zhongli was frightened to the absolute limit. These bodyguards had been personally selected by him, and he knew their strength very well. Yet all the bodyguards combined couldn't even defeat a single masked man. Even if he were dull-witted, he still recognized the masked man's terrifying power.
