Volume 1, Chapter 24: I Have Finally Been Waiting for You

Inside the room, there was a nanmu wood desk, carved cabinets, a set of large black leather sofas, and an exquisite tea table—was this not an office?

Fojia, dressed in semi-worn monk’s robes with a shaven head, looked for all the world like a Buddha who had accidentally wandered into the mortal realm.

"I only want to save people now." Li Shiyu stared at him steadily, his handsome face frozen and expressionless.

Originally, Lucy did not want to discuss these messy matters in front of the trainees, as it touched upon her personal privacy.

"You, you—I won't let you off!" Hua Ruyi lunged toward them.

As a seasoned veteran of the business world, he had long sensed that in every respect, Bai Bing was far superior to this bald man.

Later, after emerging from his seclusion, Xiao Qingyang stayed at the Heavenly Demon Gate with Lin Ying’er for two days before taking her directly to Jinghua University, the school where she was enrolled.

At this point, the elderly man in the Taoist robe realized it was a matter of life or death and began to fight with desperate abandon.

Xiao Qingyang had not wanted to call out, but upon seeing the stern expression on Bi Huaqiong’s face, his heart trembled, and he simply shouted it out.

In public, Old Madam Lu could not show her displeasure too overtly, but she was clearly unwilling to accept the gift from Lu Xuan, as the ambiguous relationship between her and Jin Fan had already caused the Lu household to lose a great deal of face.

Shen Ran looked at him expressionlessly, then peeled seven or eight lotus seeds in one go and stuffed them all into Xue Nian’s mouth without ceremony.

The execution ground was bloody and cruel, yet the private room where Zhao Yuanzhuo and Xie Jinzhao sat possessed a sense of tranquil harmony, as if time had stood still.

As his voice fell, Liu Tian flipped his palm, and a formation disk resembling a Bagua mirror suddenly appeared in his hand.

It was not just the Undying Mountain—the forbidden zone of life—that did not want to grant Ji Xukong time to cultivate in seclusion and stabilize his status as a Great Emperor.

Furthermore, relying on his unique perception as a Holy Spirit, Shi Tian was surprised to discover that the Ji family of the present day appeared somewhat peculiar.

So, it wasn't that she wasn't ready for a relationship; it was that she wasn't ready to choose who to be with. Now, it seemed she had made her choice.

Shi Tian originated from the lineage of the Undying Mountain and had spent long ages near the Immortal Source Egg of the Stone Emperor. Naturally, through constant exposure, he had become imbued with the traces of the Stone Emperor’s Great Dao laws.

"This matter was my decision alone; I will not let you be punished," Shi Tian shook his head and said indifferently.

The Immortal-Prohibiting Array was something he had successfully comprehended during his seclusion a century ago, after mastering his innate Holy Spirit abilities.

Among them, the Xuantian Holy Land was vast, occupying the largest territory in the Divine Province, situated in the core regions of the west and center.

His status, or perhaps his family background, was inferior to Qin Xinyang’s, so when they walked together in daily life, Qin Xinyang would unconsciously take the lead.

Seemingly provoked, the large beast kept digging into the pit with one of its forelimbs. Before long, the perfectly good pit had collapsed halfway, filled with smoke and dust.

Just like his own somewhat dark psyche, whenever he encountered an unknowable situation, he would reveal a near-manic gloom and subjective delusion.

The man muttered something, and dozens of people emerged from the ranks of the alien guards, driving the huddled Dagan commoners forward as if they were pigs or sheep.

Li Suo smiled. It must have been that Gu Lianglei’s agitation had disturbed those resting in the room. Shu Chenyu and Rangsi Baoyin were likely hesitant to come out and see what was happening, yet unable to set their minds at ease, so they had sent Li Qianyu to check on the situation.

"Young man! You have finally arrived. Come! Come this way; there is a magnificent destiny waiting for you here." Finally, from the depths of the dark, dense forest, a voice—neither clearly young nor old—resounded.

"Everyone, my child Tianhua has only been here for two days! He is really not in league with that High Priest of Truth! You must believe me! Village Chief Sackerley can testify!" Old Tesse, likely aware of why these people were looking at him this way, pleaded earnestly.

Having made up his mind, Luo Tianhua did not bother to rest, instead taking a wide detour around Xidado City to search for the likely presence of friendly forces.

Once upon a time, this had been what Supreme Baifeng dreamed of, but now that he had achieved this breakthrough under such circumstances, he felt somewhat bewildered and terrified.

"Hehe..." Gu Xueteng’s attack was not over. With a chuckle and without the slightest trace of chivalry, he unleashed astonishing speed, appeared beside Zhou Tong, and threw another punch.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals had suffered countless casualties. At this moment, had it not been for the help of the four seas' twelve immortals—Houji, Yuqiao, Buting Huyu, Yanzhi, Yuqiang, Feng Xiuqing, Zhu Yin'e, Shi Chi, Yi Yiliao, Gouqiu Bai, Ling Sujian, Shi Yu Zhang, and Jie Lianqiao—they would likely have perished long ago in the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Sword Array.

After two rounds of combat, the Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus remained unscathed. As everyone had expected, it defeated Sona’s final Pokémon, Noctowl, taking the third point without any suspense.

He had thought he had surpassed Zhao Huihuang and could force the other to submit, but now, it had all come to nothing.
