Chapter 44: Healing Wounds

"Luo Yutian! You’ve come at just the right moment. Today, I shall take on three opponents at once. Heh heh, heh heh heh..." Wang Zhan fixed his gaze on Luo Yutian’s chest and found he could not look away. He had coveted Luo Yutian’s beauty for a long time, once vowing to swallow up the Divine Emperor’s Hall and then claim Luo Yutian by force.

"Courting death!"

...

Everyone let out a collective breath and collapsed to the ground. Tianqi’s blood was down to just 0.2 percent, and as he fell from the sky, he made straight for Bai Mu.

"Is it possible the traitor is ‘Horsefly’?" Chen Guoqing asked hesitantly.

With that thought in mind, Xia Tian stood motionless within the second circle of thunderclouds, his soul frozen there as he withstood the strikes of lightning, unmoving, resolute as ever.

"Mm, I’m just taking a look." With that, she glanced over the items on the stall and reached for a bronze mirror.

Dary turned to look at the spot where they’d just been hiding. There was a cave there, about two meters deep, probably dug out by previous adventurers. Thankfully they’d found it; otherwise, shaking off that giant lizard beneath the ground would have been no easy feat.

In the past, Chenguang’s cultivation was nothing remarkable. He was worlds away from the Immortal Realm. But now, the strength of his soul was gradually surpassing that threshold.

"Boss, that fat guy has suddenly disappeared," reported one of the players assigned to tail the man.

A semicircular yellow arrow flashed out, sweeping flatly across. The two assassins had never encountered an archer who fired this way. Momentarily dazed, they felt a chill at their throats, and then a torrent of warm blood gushed out.

"You... What are you doing?" Liuguang Yihuo stared at Tianqi, suspended in mid-air, his red robes swirling like an immortal in flight, black hair entwined with silver sword light, weaving a tapestry of black and white threads.

In the central square of Ice Soul City, with the passage of time, more and more young cultivators arrived, all seeking to join the Ice Soul Sect.

He suddenly recalled Medicine King Valley and that mysterious old apothecary, who not only didn’t scold him but even gave him precious herbs.

"The higher the status, power, or charm of the person the host pranks, the more mantis shrimps the host will earn," the Brat System explained.

The eldest young master of the Ye family actually possessed a Guardian Talisman, which could be activated at the moment of death, protecting his soul and allowing him to escape.

Of course, if these people insisted on seeking their own deaths, he wouldn’t mind eradicating every last one of them.

"Don’t worry, it’s fine." Sensing Lin Jia’s extreme anxiety, the virginal "Yang Jie," his arm tightly hugged between her chest, squinted his eyes, gently stroked her hair, and comforted her.

Naturally, ratings can’t be compared so crudely. With the rise of the internet, declining TV ratings are inevitable—not just for dramas, but the entire television industry is facing unprecedented challenges.

"This concept is brilliant! It’s extremely fair to the contestants!" Chen Yixun browsed the competition rules and couldn’t help but praise Fan Zhiyuan’s creativity.

As Qiu Lin secretly worried for Fan Siyan and pondered how best to plead for her, the latter finally came to herself.

Yan Tiantian never expected to see someone so powerful—and so shameless—emerge from the Daoist sects.

The surrounding crowd also wore expressions of eager anticipation. Was it finally time for action?

Ten minutes later, the Air Force Department called. Clearly, they had also learned that something was amiss on Prince Piermont’s end.

On one side was the safety of Huaxia, on the other, the deep vendetta for his parents—and most importantly, he was needed to assist the Xuanyuan family. Chen Fan hesitated; he could not decide, nor let go.

After Lin Fu arrived at Yancheng, he ordered Ao Canghai to wait with the Changshan infantry outside the city. Taking Zhao Hu and several dozen guards, he first met with Chen and Yuan Liang. Without time for lengthy conversation, they followed Liu Zhi into the city to pay respects to Prince Ning.
