Chapter 71: The True Purpose

“If you have something to say, say it. I have things to do,” she replied, her gaze full of resistance as she met Gu Rong’s eyes through the car window.

“Qiao Sui, are you still thinking about Ji—” Before Qiao Mingshan could finish, Qiao Sui ended the call.

He leaned on his chipped broadsword, looking at his battle-worn comrades. He knew that today, this place would be their final stand.

Shen Yingxing, much recovered, approached him. Though his face was still pale and bloodless, he looked far better than before, when he was constantly coughing up blood.

At that moment, the innermost cage was opened. A famished sea demon emerged, prowling from within.

“All right, sleep now. Good night,” Li Zhihao kissed her on the forehead, then drew her into his arms and closed his eyes, ready to sleep.

Li Yu felt disgruntled. What’s wrong with this brother-in-law of mine? Marrying your sister was your father’s idea. If you have a problem, take it up with him. Besides, we already have a son, and I’ve been named King Sui. What more could you want?

“Father, what are you up to again?” Miranda frowned, then ran off even farther to practice her fireball spell.

As she spoke, Fu Yuqi briefly recounted to Fu Yunsheng and the others what Ye Ying had told her just now.

“What a loss,” Liu Xi said with heartache, gazing at the demon warship. If they could sell this to the people of Kamachi, it would fetch a handsome price.

“Overwhelming force!” Batier suddenly had a bad premonition in his mind. Without hesitating, he leaped almost flush against Meng Xu, spreading his arms wide in midair in an attempt to block Meng Xu’s view.

Just then, a harsh screech of friction was heard—rubber tires dragging a long mark across the filthy, uneven road.

Last century, as relations between China and the US warmed, China bought dozens of Black Hawks from the Americans for high-altitude transport operations. Unfortunately, there are only a few left now.

If Hope Island is so openly righteous, are they not afraid of an attack from the Vampire Empire’s army?

“Heh heh, isn’t it just the Demon-Taming Fire Phoenix technique?” Hasegawa, the good-for-nothing uncle in sunglasses—whose sunglasses seemed to have a life of their own—chuckled lecherously, his eyes unfocused, as if already lost in some unsavory fantasy.

Lin Hao and Old Zhao both peered into the valley through binoculars, hoping for a catch; the cameraman hefted an HD camera, zooming in for a closer look on the livestream.

Having finished everything, Lin Yang opened his eyes, activated his stealth technique, and drew his aura back into his body. Rising to his feet, he approached the cave entrance, checked his surroundings cautiously, and in a sudden blur, vanished.

Though Ye Luona still didn’t think much of Chuan Dong, she had to admit that the Sixth Sword was truly remarkable; she had no intention of testing its sharpness with her own claws.

At noon, everyone gathered to sample Beijing’s famous roast duck. With such a celebrated reputation, reservations had to be made well in advance.

At dawn, the main tent of Wang Bing’s central camp was already packed with mid- and high-ranking officers.

I hadn’t expected the Kuang fellow to dodge the question and instead bring up the Ye family’s affairs.

“Brother Qingchen! Are you really going to Mount Wutai? I have a bad feeling it’s a trap!” Xian’er looked at Qingchen with worry, her anxiety evident.

The vulture, seeing that his proudest move was useless against Qingchen, finally began to feel regret.

Since they’re convinced we killed the Special Operations team, our explanations are useless. Even if they see we’re human, they’ll just think we used some technology to disguise ourselves.

“By the way, there’s something I can’t figure out. It’s normal for the nine Lords of Chaos to come to the Profound Qi Continent, but why are you, Liran, and Qingxuan here too?” Su Tianling looked at Hua Qingcheng, a question that had puzzled him all along.

Zimiao was stunned, not knowing what to say. Seeing her serious face, Pei Heng lowered his eyes.

After saying this, the old man began to breathe heavily, his gaze fixed on me, as if beckoning me to come closer.

They continued searching for the “Succubus Lord” within her territory. Facing the rampant “Undead Moonshades” in this region, Zhou Wei and the others showed no mercy, cutting down dozens of waves of monsters.

On the road back from the Southern Region, Chu Tianyuan, having refined the primordial treasures on his gourd, had elevated his cultivation by three stages and was preparing to advance to the Imperial Dynasty. Through further refining, he advanced another stage.

From the start, I was suspicious about encountering three people who looked exactly alike at the same time.

Natsume watched the four Karasu-Tengu fly toward “02.” Their shikigami flew even faster than the Nue. In the blink of an eye, they had surrounded the Nue from all sides.

That voice, as if from the depths of the Nine Hells, carried a strange, inherent magic. When it fell upon the world, the surging currents of energy and the orderly flow of spiritual power all suddenly faltered.

“It’s you?” When the black crow opened its eyes, blood glinting in its pupils, the blind Taoist immediately recognized Li Mu. “How did you… become so powerful?” He couldn’t finish his sentence, for in just a few months, Li Mu had grown so strong that it was simply unbelievable.

With Lin Xue’s life no longer in danger, Ji Tianxing chose to wait and observe, seeking to uncover the truth of the matter.

“Hmph, to think you’d dare attack me with such feeble moves. Clearly, the progress of the human race has blinded you to your own limits.” The Nine-Infant snorted, and with a flick of his spiritual treasure, he instantly neutralized Youchao’s assault.

At first, at the sight of the notice, Chen Guang thought of Yan Ying, but then dismissed the idea. Yan Ying, like herself, was of high rank; the exposure of this secret would be just as dangerous for him. He had no reason to take such a risk.

Yet, she had never heard of this person joining the Extinction Alliance. It seemed this had been deliberately concealed.
