Chapter 32: Betrayal?

"Sorry, I overheard by accident."

"Big brother's promise is truly moving, but let me kindly remind you: Aunt is not so easily dealt with."

"Alright, that's all. Carry on."

Xu Yanchen finished speaking, raised his glass, and wandered off to laugh and chat with others.

...

Hearing what the other person said—especially the second sentence—Alice was startled. She instinctively reached for her waist, but when her hand touched her clothes, she remembered that her weapon had been handed to Wei Gongxue for reforging.

"Thank you, Miss Bicheng, for your praise." Hearing the compliment about Jingshi University, Sun Yuanqi was quite pleased.

Gu Yue gathered the profound blade, her whole body vibrating, the true art within her body fluttering like thunder within the watermark, yearning to burst forth and transform into an indomitable blade. Lin Hongru narrowed his eyes, ready to strike hard.

The Ghost Army bore deep karma; should judgment fall, they would surely become prisoners, yet no ghost wished for soul annihilation.

"That's right, I want them to fight, to break their arrogance! It’ll be much easier to force their surrender afterwards! Helander, order the fleet to activate the energy shields—keep the formation, don’t disperse."

"Enough, let's not discuss this. Let history resolve what belongs to history. Let’s talk about martial arts, tactics, the way of fists!" Liu Jun shifted the topic, sipping his tea.

Why are you laughing! Speaking of the main ingredient, Jade Butterfly, I got it years ago from a medicine merchant who came from Western Daqin. It took two sticks of five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng to finally trade for one. The merchant said even in his homeland, Jade Butterfly was rare.

Just as Zhou Lin was plotting how to eliminate these enemies he’d always faced, Luo Li suddenly charged over with some ability users, immediately pinning Zhou Lin down.

After speaking, Fujimori Masahiko pressed his foot to the ground and soared toward the main hall.

"Indeed, I have a karmic bond with Avalokitesvara of the Southern Sea, having long been honored as a Buddhist master." Ning Caichen recounted how he became connected with the Bodhisattva.

Those sinister curses, after devouring flesh and blood, drifted from his body, manifesting as a shadowy evil spirit guarding him.

This was the Dark General Armor, which could only be summoned after cultivating the Dark God’s energy to the Dark General rank. As the Fifty-Fourth Commander spoke, the tall dancer nearby chuckled, her eyes black as ink suddenly erupting with boundless Dark God energy, and a suit of Dark General Armor materialized upon her.

Since it wasn’t easy to kill Tang Monk outright, then he’d have to abduct him—once Tang Monk was on their turf, every method could be used to finish him off.

"Brother Yun, my condolences." Leng Han patted his shoulder and spoke; from the eyes of both men, it was clear that Yun Shan'er was already dead, her corpse cold.

"Stop struggling. Death will ease your pain; why not embrace it?" Fan Chen looked calmly at the black bird still resisting.

At that moment, Zhan Xiao, who had been listening on the bed for a while, finally couldn’t hold back. "Master Jiao Xuan, is the divine sword you mentioned the legendary artifact that has emerged?" A smile appeared on Zhan Xiao's face, his eyes filled with longing. As he spoke, Qiu Li and the other two looked at him.

"Thousand Buddhas fate departs; your Demon Buddha Dream has always lived hidden among the martial world, so the righteous have never troubled you. But now, you've slaughtered so many martial artists, nearly a hundred from the Five Tigers Alliance—enough is enough." Bai Li spoke neither humble nor loud, his voice echoing in the air without any sign of anger.

For, over the past two years, Fan Chen had become very clear: wherever he went, trouble would always find him.
