Volume One, Chapter 29: The Golden Dragon Gang

This burning sensation radiated from deep within, inescapable no matter where one fled, striking directly at the soul with a terrifying intensity.

So, as soon as Du Heng returned to his room, he quickly sent Zhu E away. Lately, that fellow had been unbearably clingy, like a shadow that followed him everywhere he went.

By now, Xue Mei had regained her appearance, but compared to before, her skin was noticeably fairer, and her figure seemed even more graceful. Her legs were toned and shapely, and her slender waist curved alluringly.

The chaotic force seemed to resonate with her heart, immediately roaring loudly in response. Suddenly, her body surged with power, causing the surrounding sea to boil violently before crashing apart in a thunderous dispersion.

However, this matter could not be kept secret forever. She had no choice but to steel herself and follow her mother into her room.

The remaining reporters exchanged glances, then, as if prearranged, randomly grabbed classmates to interview.

“Go or die!” The special commander pressed his long sword once more against the soldier’s chest, increasing the force in his hand as if daring the man to retort would mean death on the spot.

There was barely a moment’s pause. At the sound of that sharp command, Xiao Wuhuan pivoted his stepping leg and strode toward the corridor on the left, acting as if nothing had been said just moments before.

Such ill behavior was only a minority; most fans remained rational and objective.

“I just want to know how strict the ghost inspections are, and also ask Qian Yun’er a few questions.” Seeing Shang Sanguan’s skeptical expression as if saying “Who would believe you?” Du Heng sipped his tea uncertainly.

After finishing all this, Xia Li flashed a mischievous smile at Jiang Fan, striking a pose of innocence before bending down to put on her shoes.

“Girl, this is an Audi, not a supercar. His is a Ferrari sports car,” Ye Wudao said with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

“I’m not troubled, just bored in class,” Xiao Fei said. Though he had caused trouble twice since arriving, it wasn’t enough to vex him.

Often, he and Zhao Gen’er would rack their brains, imitating their hometown’s plowing towers made from birch wood here. Without iron plowheads, they carved sharp tips from birch wood instead.

“Shadow Dragon King, the true enemy lies in the Immortal Realm. Though the Heavenly Dao has faults, they are understandable,” Chen Feng said resignedly.

Originally, she intended to hand the task to Xiao Fei to perform the show early, but upon reflection, it seemed unrealistic—his martial skills were too high; he would surely catch up.

Though smiling, his eyes held a trace of vigilance, indicating he planned to observe further before deciding whether to report to the authorities.

One person was swiped aside by a leopard’s claw, left with a mangled, bloody face, collapsing on the ground, fate unknown.

“Humans and dogs are different. You can’t learn my moves. Better focus on training as a police dog or guard dog,” Lin Fei said.

The Japanese stationed on the mountain ridge suffered heavy casualties under mortar fire but fought fiercely without retreat. Before the full assault began, even the elite shock troops with superior firepower were powerless against them.

After the incident, many from the Xun family gathered to watch. At the time, Chu Xiang was only seven or eight years old and was so frightened by the bloody scene that he cried, leaving a lifelong childhood shadow. Even now, he often woke up in cold sweats from nightmares.

Liao Xingzong led a large army, originally bound for Xiping Prefecture. In the entire Lingzhou region, only Xiping Prefecture showed semblances of order; elsewhere was in disarray.

Qiao’s face darkened, but since he was naturally dark-skinned, it was hard to tell if he looked more grim than usual.

“I will report this matter to Lord Zhao for him to handle,” Dongfang Yuan said calmly.

But this time? In the sky, in the empire’s invincible eagle-dominated airspace, Chinese planes ambushed them—twice in a row.

When Zheng Cangsheng entered the battlefield wielding the Guiyuan Halberd, Tang Chen noticed his furrowed brow. Honestly, in that moment, he felt Zheng Cangsheng had come solely to kill him.

When Lin Feng used earth concealment technique to reach the dimensional rift, he unexpectedly found several bears dead there.

Boris also knew, but those tentacles did not sprout from the elder’s body; they were formed by surrounding dark forces. Moreover, the ability to control so many fishmen, turning them into soulless shells of walking corpses, was itself a manifestation of dark power.

After uttering these words, he set down his cup and left abruptly, as if afraid of being seen by those who cared.

“All right,” Long Yue’er said impatiently, waving her hand. “Old Mo, stop chatting and open the door quickly.”

Then, after many strange poses with Bai Fan every day, her own body began to undergo various changes.

“Hmph, facing the infamous old trickster Chu, if I don’t cheat, am I just going to be played?” Bai Huapo swiftly retracted his hand and swept out a kick.

The piranhas seemed to sense something and immediately clutched their wounds, letting out a shout as if enlightened. Now, Ning Fatty fully understood.

Upon hearing this, everyone had the same thought: use Xie Kezhi as a cushion, all pile onto him, and their backs would be safe. Without anyone counting one, two, three, they all obediently did so.
