Chapter 31: Who Is the Stumbling Block

"One, two, three!"

Jiang Wan counted to three, and the man collapsed to the ground.

She possessed a toxin-repelling bead, which, crucially, had a reflection effect. The Qi-refining disciple had used a drug when he covered her mouth, and now, it had backfired on him. In other words, the drug that was meant to knock Jiang Wan unconscious had instead instantly incapacitated him. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Just as the man was using a wind-riding spell, he dropped like a stone, leaving Jiang...

Even with Zhao Yi's composure, he could not help but be momentarily stunned upon seeing such a spatial passage for the first time. His gaze drifted slowly toward the barriers formed by spatial energy on either side of the tunnel. Beyond them lay an endless darkness, and no one knew what kind of scenes might exist there.

"I thank the Great Commander for sparing my life!" Dongfang Lingmu bowed hurriedly to express his gratitude, though his heart was heavy with complex emotions. For Dongfang Jie'ao to mobilize the entire Thousand-Machine Battalion showed immense resolve; even if the mission succeeded, it would have nothing to do with him, Dongfang Lingmu. As for turning the terrifying black-clad cultivator into his own asset, that had become a complete fantasy.

"Wow, this Lu Tianlong is too strong. I bet he could hold his own against an average elder. Whoever runs into him in the next round is going to be unlucky," Zhou Youcai said with deep admiration.

After everyone had steadied themselves, they looked one by one at the mysterious figure who had suddenly appeared. "Senior," Zidian was the first to speak, bowing respectfully to the stranger.

"What back to the Beast Battalion? Can't you see it yet, Yinyue? This Blue Python was sent by the King of Myriad Beasts to kill me and silence me," Bristle Wolf said resentfully, coughing incessantly.

Jie Zhixian frowned, clearly encountering a thorny problem. He dreaded these kinds of high-altitude falls that left so many suspicious clues at the scene. He had to reach a conclusion of either homicide or suicide with no middle ground, which was essentially a death sentence for his career. If he made a wrong judgment, it would undoubtedly mislead the subsequent investigation.

As it turned out, on that stormy afternoon yesterday, A-Bing had already been killed by him, his head severed, and his face peeled off. The headless corpse that Master Liu Wu, who had a penchant for eating raw human flesh, had consumed, was clearly that of A-Bing.

As soon as the mysterious figure finished speaking, the hundreds of dragon souls and essences launched an attack on Zhurong Tian and the others.

In the reception hall, only Bai Fengju and a few bodyguards were present. Naturally, besides Zhao Yi, there was also Wang Yadong.

The two-tailed fox held a roasted goat leg, following along happily. She was in no hurry, content to wait for the two of them to fall on their own.

"Jiang, say no more. There is a blood feud between us, and it will not end until one of us is dead," Zhao Liangtie stated firmly.

In order to prevent his identity as 'Thunderbolt Fire' from being exposed too early, he had no choice but to opt for such a perilous method.

"Still, I don't feel anything special!" Du Yuan looked at her; any adornment placed upon Shen Yueru was entirely superfluous.

Once the Immortal Island ship docked, the disciples of the Immortal Island from the Jiufeng Sect, who had been waiting to welcome them, had already been standing on the shore for a long time, ready to greet Du Yuan's arrival.

This was a magical place. A gentle white light emerged from nowhere, and when it shone upon one's body, it gave the dragon a drowsy sensation. Before it lay a very spacious arena.

After falling out with the Great Elder, Su Yi naturally had no desire to remain in the Su Mansion. Once he stepped out of the Su family's council hall, he made a few turns and left the estate, finding a place in Su City to wait for dawn and the opening of the Imperial City gates so he could return directly to the academy.

It was not that Chen Lin had a twisted mind, but when it came to these types of spa clubs, the first things that came to his mind were illicit trades, hookup havens, outdoor tryst paradises, and aquatic passion playgrounds.

They did not see that, at this moment, Chen Lin waved at his approaching teammates, signaling them to drop a gun on the ground for him.
