Chapter 31: Something Is Off

Upon hearing this, the crowd began to murmur. Several elderly people remarked that they had indeed heard of such strange occurrences; at the time, it had caused quite a stir, with everyone claiming the tree had become sentient, taken human form, and fled.

After the Battle of Hulao Pass, he had lost all hope in the imperial court. It was from that moment on that he began his gradual transformation from a loyal official of the Han into a warlord of a chaotic era. Yet, just as he was achieving his goals and reaching the pinnacle of his power, the court issued this reversal, leaving him feeling utterly at a loss.

Though skeptical, Guo Si was cautious by nature. Furthermore, Wei Zhong’s behavior did not seem feigned, so he decided it was better to investigate. It was always better to be safe than sorry. Besides, since Yang Ding was a man of Li Jue, it would be wise to coordinate with him as well.

Xiao Yuyin’s finger rested lightly on the name, tracing its contours. Could it be you? Or is it merely a coincidence that the names are the same?

Four beams of white light flashed at the spot where Yu Yang had vanished, and he appeared in the forest alongside his three teammates.

Xia He felt reassured and issued the order for the trial. He dispatched his troops to surround a fortress that had once belonged to the temple. Within the fortress, over ten thousand demons were entrenched. Among these ten thousand, there were no legends, nor were there any flying units.

One must understand that by controlling the Chapter of the Wind God, he could fly to altitudes of over ten thousand meters and navigate freely through fierce air currents. To accept such a state, which would only increase his energy consumption, was out of the question for Xia He.

“That... that is...” Seeing this, Sima Min followed Zhuang Zhong’s gaze and was momentarily stunned, watching in bewilderment as a fire soared into the sky. It was the direction of the Sima Estate.

Ye Li looked at his sister, who was frozen in shock, and could not help but chuckle. *Heh, so even my sister has moments of being stupefied.*

Ye Zifan’s eyes remained fixed on the man before her, but the man’s gaze shifted toward the ground, clearly unwilling to meet her eyes. Ye Zifan gave a bitter smile and looked down to see Mai Bao, who was playfully sticking out her tongue with her large, dark, glistening eyes wide open.

Black Owl’s expression turned solemn as he looked at Lu Yu, the ominous feeling in his heart growing ever heavier.

Since he could not absorb it, he would not exchange it either; after all, Li Yi was not short on points at the moment. Moreover, the actual value of a Level 6 crystal core might be even greater, so Li Yi naturally tucked it away into his Void Ring.

On the spirit wall, which had shown not a single crack despite all manner of attacks, a palm-shaped imprint suddenly appeared.

The Thunder Talisman—if he hadn't glanced at the store, he would have forgotten about this mediocre trinket. After all, it wasn't as effective in combat as the Fire Dragon or Water Dragon talismans, nor did it have the wide range of a Flame Explosion Fruit, and it was certainly less cost-effective than the Three-Colored Beads. However, it was highly effective against single targets and dealt significant damage.

Inside the ship’s cabin dining room, Chu Nan was enjoying the specially prepared delicacies with Gongsun Yuyan. Having spent over a month eating nothing but wild fruits and coconut milk, Chu Nan devoured the food ravenously.

“Since you’re so confident, shall I tell my grandfather that you were the one who posted that video online?” Xu Ya’er asked, looking eager for a challenge, which sent a jolt of alarm through Chu Nan.

“This has nothing to do with you, get lost.” Han Wei didn’t even glance at Yang Jiekai, throwing the words out listlessly before closing her eyes to rest.

When the group reached the roundabout intersection, they were met with chaos. The roundabout, once the heart of the old Huaxia, had been its most prosperous area. As Huaxia developed rapidly, the mountain city expanded, and the roundabout gradually became a peripheral location. Yet, despite this, its former prosperity remained undeniable.

The industrial park was not yet fully established, and there were few internet companies within the Southeast Province, so Chu Nan was in no rush to solicit outside firms. As the saying goes, "charity begins at home"—good plots of land should be occupied by one’s own people first, right?

After the teacher finished reciting a long passage on the podium, the students were filled with high morale. Such exchange meetings were held every year, but in the past, they had usually drawn schools only slightly better than average—nothing compared to their own Saint Sakura. Yet this time, they had drawn Falling Sakura.

The modified monsters were inside the basin. Chen Xiu walked into the basin and continued to use his modification technique.

The moment the black-jade-like short blade surged with shadow magic, it seemed unable to withstand the internal power, crumbling into dust and dissipating into the air. Following this, a deep, ink-like blade mark suddenly manifested in the space ahead, streaking forward.

Her hands felt as if they were ablaze on his body, setting his blood to boiling. He recited military regulations to distract himself, no longer able to tell whether her massage was good or not.

Thus, the conclusion was reached: the social structure of the loli was far more complex than the innocence and purity it presented on the surface.

Though it was unclear how it had survived for a million years, it was evident that its strength had only just begun to recover.

Driven to the brink of insanity by the extreme distortions of source energy, his eyes glowing crimson, Passer let out a thunderous roar. Using the strange twisting power of the Ancestor Gene source energy, he channeled the invisible thunder at the tips of his fingers, forcing it to distort and emerge from the center of his triangular hand gesture, leveraging the very power his enemy had gathered.

Dilraba scratched her head involuntarily. She kept feeling like someone was watching her, and... it seemed there was more than one.
