Chapter 69: A Chinese Ghost Story?

A murder of crows flew overhead, accompanied by a gust of cold wind that swept the withered leaves on the ground, making them spin and scatter into mid-air in an endless cycle.

Lu Xi stood blankly on the stone steps, gazing at the desolate, sorrowful moon on the horizon.

Where on earth has she been dumped?

After escaping from the "Gate," one would normally enter a new instance.

Yet this time, Lu Xi discovered that Ji Chenling was nowhere to be found.

Even more absurdly, she was actually dressed in ancient costume.

The team director now simply wanted to formulate contingency plans in advance for everything that could possibly happen during the match, so as to avoid the regret of losing a game that they should have won simply because they failed to seize the opportunity.

She actually wanted to say something even more excessive, but seeing that he did not look like a magnanimous person, and fearing that if she irritated him further, he might vent his anger on her senior sister, which would be terrible, she decided to say nothing more.

In order to avoid being targeted by that terrifying crimson destructive beam, the pilot directly manipulated the fighter jet to enter an irregular flight mode.

Of course, he immediately turned his gaze toward Qin Xiu, knowing full well that he intended to follow Qin Xiu from now on.

Shen You did not understand magic, but he was still the person with the deepest comprehension of the laws of space and time among them all. It was precisely for this reason that he was able to successfully perceive the constantly shifting coordinates of this island.

Since it was about securing flesh and returning to his most proficient domain, he looked at the team's composition and realized they needed a hero with maximum durability who could also initiate fights aggressively.

She knew her mother still wanted to find out why she had suddenly gotten married; it seemed that without a flawless and reasonable explanation, her mother would not rest easy.

Because Gu Sha and Wild Blade had brought back not just oral reports, but also numerous videos that could fully prove the existence of the Zombie race.

Her anger toward her older brother had not yet subsided, so she did not hug him. Instead, she gave him a sidelong glance and walked over to stand in front of Qiao Yu.

Once her Yin-Yang eyes fully manifested, although she appeared to be in extreme agony, it was already distinctly noticeable that she was not suffering all that much.

Xia Yuntong bit her lip, fully understanding the implication of those words: Noble Consort Lan could not be killed at present; she had to be kept alive, with her energy entity contained within this physical body to prevent her from going out and causing havoc.

"What a 360-degree dead-end-free observation, old Taoist, you're truly something!" Wang Jianguo gave a sincere thumbs-up. Since he had no idea what to do, he might as well just wait right where he was.

Many people eagerly offered their own extremely enticing conditions, with the most generous offer guaranteeing Su Mu enough cultivation resources to reach the Prince realm.

Huo Heng kicked the door open and immediately caught sight of Huo Xuan in the corner, the corners of her mouth curled upward, looking thoroughly pleased.

Shi Qing changed into a white dress, took out her tarot cards, and cast a divination for herself. The hexagram indicated that her luck had been quite good lately, and she smiled with satisfaction.

In an instant, blood gushed like a fountain, the blade turned crimson, and Liu Zhuang's complexion instantly turned as pale as paper due to the massive blood loss.

Meanwhile, this stone statue was putting its own finger into its mouth, sucking on it as if savoring the pulverized flesh it had just slapped down.

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Although Ge Hengzi belonged to the Dao Palace, many present were familiar with him and knew his cultivation was merely at the early Inquiry stage. Aside from his status as a Dao Envoy, his strength was simply not on par with those on the Heavenly Ranking.

The heatwave before him grew increasingly intense, and the danger instinctively perceived by his body became more and more fatal, but Daigo paid none of it any mind.

So that was how it was. Mother Ye immediately transitioned to the next topic, casting furtive glances at Guo Xiang and Yue Lingshan, the two young women not far away.

Immortal melodies chimed gently as Ye Xiyun raised her slender, snow-white wrist, parted her pink lips slightly, lifted her jade hand and lowered it once more. The world instantly seemed draped in a layer of mist, so dreamlike and hazy that those nearby could barely be seen.

Just as she watched in despair as Long Xingyu's hand was about to come down, Li Honglin suddenly unleashed a heaven-shaking roar, sounding like a beast, which echoed far into the distance and shook the leaves right off the trees.
