Volume 1, Chapter 48: The Wolf Pack

After walking for another half hour, as the sun sank deep into the dense forest, the surroundings gradually grew dim. The towering ancient trees on both sides blocked the sky and the sun, their swaying shadows looked like ghosts, and the howling, biting cold wind sent chills down the spine.

The Great Jade Sea, a grand era. Everyone had the opportunity to become a big shot overnight. What a magnificent and wonderful era this truly was.

The front gate of the house stood wide open. Neither Third Uncle nor Ge Dahai was home; the two of them should be down at the construction site. In the shade against the south wall of the courtyard, many iron cages were neatly stacked, holding the roosters they had collected—probably around a hundred of them.

Huang Fei's face flushed red, and she whispered a complaint to herself, yet as the words "sweet nothings" rolled off her tongue, why did they taste so ambiguous?

"It was you who sold the Spirit-Gathering Pill in the Ghost Market just now, wasn't it?" Di Zhi's lips curled up gently, and the smile on her face was like the sun just rising in early spring, warm and pleasant.

Thick black smoke was seen rising from the gaps in the car's hood, billowing more and more.

Looking at the state of the Blood-Winged Salamence, Bai Yuling wore a smile tinged with anticipation. The trait of metamorphosis-induced confidence was indeed as powerful as the Miracle System had predicted. Once the metamorphosis was complete, it would undoubtedly become even stronger.

Chen Hao was a bit surprised. He had thought Jarvis was top-tier in this regard, yet it was still easily breached.

Since this headless male ghost was lingering here, it meant his corpse must be nearby.

However, the sloppy immortal had no regrets about what he did back then. He was unwilling to submit to those stubborn old fellows; even reduced to such a desolate state, he still would not surrender.

The living room was strewn with rose petals extending all the way to the bedroom, and a few delicately blooming crabapple flowers were placed in vases on the dining table.

Hua Village looked at Ryuzaki Sumire with curved eyebrows and eyes, her silver-amber pupils hidden behind her lenses, while a playful and haughty expression flashed briefly in her gaze.

As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the bedroom dropped by three degrees. Even Wang Yuyan, lying on the bed, had her expression of pain replaced by fear. Seeing this, Chen Zhen sneered inwardly. Ghosts, deities, and humans alike belonged to the category of bullying the soft and fearing the hard. Extending this logic, immortals were not necessarily any more noble or lofty than mortals; their fundamental nature was the exact same.

A wild expression appeared in the snow ape's eyes. Its eyes were wild, but its heart was not; its mind remained unmoved like a mountain, unshaken by Chen Zhen's blows. This was the mindset a true practitioner ought to possess.

"Who I am, I don't think you are qualified to know." With that, that figure flashed, appearing right in front of the two of them. With a single kick, he sent Feng Bufei flying, then raised his hand and struck Xue Bing in the chest. Instantly, Xue Bing's body flew backward, violently slamming into the pillar of the backyard corridor.

At this moment, the aura of the Shattering Realm powerhouse was elevated to the absolute limit. The entire Hunter Plaza was enveloped by this oppressive momentum, feeling as heavy as a towering mountain. The air grew heavy and stifling, making one's chest ache terribly and rendering breathing almost impossible, as if one were suffocating.

Yun Hua thought of the gentleness in the eyes of that god of slaughter just moments ago, and for some reason, she felt that he would be Yue'er's final destination.

The thick-browed man and three others pushed the flatbed cart into the backyard and, guided by a maidservant, placed the potted plants down. Afterward, the thick-browed man told his accomplice with the horse-like face to fetch some water to irrigate the flowers and plants. Under the cover of the other two, while the maidservants were not paying attention, he quietly slipped into the back kitchen.

Her expression was utterly calm, and her heart did not panic. She thought to herself: perhaps today is the day I die.

Upon seeing the brightly glowing red numbers on the card, all the members of Group One immediately boiled over with excitement, cheering aloud.

Although the Sovereign of the Firmament was trapped in the Chaotic Origin Realm, his Firmament Realm was still embedded within the Chaotic Divine Temple and even granted Senior Cangzhen and the others extremely high access privileges. It hadn't ceased to exist; it was simply that the Sovereign of the Firmament himself could no longer sense the connection between the Chaotic Divine Temple and the Firmament Realm.
