Chapter 165: Don’t Try Any Tricks

After dealing with Liu Xuanxuan and her group, Lu Fei did not make a scene, but instead strode confidently toward the banquet hall.

There were still many guests inside the hall. Most of them were not well-acquainted with Liu Xuanxuan’s clique and assumed they were simply joking around with Lu Fei.

Several members of the Divine Emperor Palace had also mingled among the guests, keeping the atmosphere of the birthday banquet lively.

Lu Fei found a corner and sat down.

"..."

"What is most incredible is that the way the Pluto defeated Wu Jin, Luo Cheng, and Chang Jiu was through the purest sword intent! A sword intent originating from the Lingxiao Sect."

"Perhaps it was someone from another faction who came to investigate; they probably saw us arrive and decided to leave," another voice, tinged with world-weariness, replied.

After returning to school, Liguo carefully explained Xia Mu’s situation to the head teacher and applied for sick leave on her behalf. She then rushed back to the dormitory without a moment’s delay, packed some toiletries, and hurried back to the hospital.

"Swoosh." Chen Yu threw the short blade in his hand, instantly striking a sniper a hundred paces away and sending him plummeting from the rooftop.

However, before he could bite down, Li Le’s shoulder vibrated slightly with internal energy, causing the strike to miss.

Unexpectedly, as Master Yiyang gripped the blood-red demonic blade and struck the Gu serpent, forcing Granny Serpent to retreat, the Gu serpent in her mouth suddenly began to writhe.

This was precisely why the Lingxiao Sect had requested Jiyuan to come out of seclusion. Only a master of Jiyuan’s caliber could catch the Pluto off guard and kill him.

He spoke of feeling deeply inadequate. Currently, Xuanyi was facing immense pressure from the Money Gang, and the crisis was deepening. With the Sovereign soon to pass and the battle for the Crown Prince’s succession inevitable, Xuanyi’s foundation remained shallow; the outcome of this struggle was still uncertain. His master, Li Zhi’an, had even turned his hair white with worry over these matters.

Black scales imbued with demonic energy shimmered with a cold luster. On a massive dragon head, two pitch-black horns gleamed with extraordinary sharpness.

It was a pity that divining the fate of a cultivator with a higher cultivation level consumed too much mental energy. Even with all his might, Qi Bao could not deduce where the problem lay.

"The Mother Empress and twelve Insect Guards are underground at these coordinates. Beneath us lies a complex labyrinthine insect nest with eight entrances in total. Besides the Mother Empress and the guards, there are at least three million insectoid monsters in this hive," Blood-colored immediately explained.

"Now that you've arrived, you still send these cannon fodder? Are you expecting us to clear these things out ourselves?" Watching his Master, Karen, along with Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou, struggle to use magic to eliminate the endless stream of Dragon Tooth Warriors, Ye Xingchen spoke toward a burning building near the church.

Although she was fearless, in such an environment, a master of body refinement was enough to pose a threat to a Dao-Core master.

Given the circumstances and the sudden bombardment from his own side, Ye Tian’s eyes widened, his face filled with ecstatic joy.

Thanks to the efforts of Dazi and the others, the security team had been established. Furthermore, every time fertilizer was transported, they would call upon the guards from the escort agency.

"Three hundred and seventy years!" Upon hearing the current date, Lu Zheng performed a quick calculation and realized how much time had passed.

The powerful figure from the Wuji Dao Sect smiled slightly, looking as though victory was already in his grasp—a confidence they had not shown in the slightest before.

Daoist Lingji, now left with only a remnant soul, could not break the Soul-Devouring Curse upon him; at least, he lacked the ability to do so in the short term.

As soon as he stepped inside, the Money Chamber of Commerce was already bustling with activity. Feng Mang swept his gaze across the room and immediately sensed several individuals whose strength he could not discern.

Feng Mang was stunned, his eyes filled with curiosity. This illness was far too bizarre; not only did it affect one's physical body, but it could actually alter one's personality as well.
