Volume 1, Chapter 26: The Stepmother's Snobbery

With a sullen expression, the large man picked up the scattered wooden planks intended for repairs and shuffled step by step toward the other cabin. His strength was meant for battle, not for such meaningless labor.

Consequently, he began to treat his disciples differently. If one possessed exceptional talent, he would invent various excuses to hinder their progress, terrified that he would lose his status once surpassed.

Its original plan was to capture the barbarian prison city, thereby replenishing the lost population. Moreover, those barbarians were naturally brimming with vitality; as a food source, a single one was equivalent to the sustenance of four or five ordinary humans.

Watching from afar as Molin calmly climbed the rope ladder, the tall hunter seemed to lose all his strength in an instant. He tilted his head back, but before he could collapse to the ground, a figure suddenly streaked past him, sprinting desperately toward the rising remains of the Qilin.

"This is what I have been insisting on... back then on the shipwreck, besides us, the organizers, and the Royal Hunting Corps belonging to His Highness, there was a fourth party!" Guo Peng slammed his fist against the table, his excitement triggering a violent fit of coughing.

For instance, last year, the strengthening serum that the Dark Temple attempted to seize was synthesized in an underground laboratory. It contained natural divine power so pure it could be liquefied, allowing Luo Yunfeng to leap two ranks in a single bound.

This was Ke Huan’s first time undergoing deification on the contract battlefield; everyone watching the competition gasped in astonishment.

A certain real estate project in Shanghai sold out as soon as it opened, taking less than half a day in total. However, the development consisted of only 65 units.

Dazed and sluggish, he picked up a massive stone, finding that the longer he looked at it, the more it resembled the stone used to weigh down the sauerkraut crock at home.

Being struck by that blow signaled the end of the fight, for the Jin family disciple would not give him time to react. Another palm-strike to the base of his skull knocked him unconscious immediately.

The lone wanderer finally reached Jun Yan. He raised a hand that looked remarkably youthful, focused his spiritual energy entirely upon it, and slowly reached toward the top of Jun Yan’s head.

Although even he could not destroy Mount Daoshi, human ingenuity is boundless; just because he could not destroy it did not mean others could not.

Old Daoist Camel found a bedsheet from somewhere, draped it over a man in black, and proceeded to pummel him mercilessly.

Xue Yu remained silent for a moment before saying, "At most, a thousand zhang." Ji Lingsheng gave a wry smile, licked his dry lips, and sat down where he was to rest for a while; he had drive, but he was no fool.

The car drove out of the city, winding through various turns, and finally entered a forest. Passing through the woods, a mountain villa appeared before them.

The Eastern cultivation world had reached a precarious juncture; one step forward could lead to a revival, while one step back could mean destruction.

Yet, it had been several days, and Chen Hao still hadn't discovered the arrival of Master Long, leaving him clueless about the situation.

The two fell silent. They understood the deeper meaning in Jun Yan’s words, and at the same time, felt a touch of shame for their previous recklessness that had nearly ruined everything.

Bathed in surging demonic energy, Ji Lingsheng laughed incessantly. He moved like the wind and struck like thunder, crashing recklessly through the mountains. Whether it was stone walls or giant trees, he smashed through them all; beasts didn't even have time to flee before they were reduced to pools of gore. Where he passed, a long, narrow trench was carved into the earth, trees were pushed aside, and nothing remained to block his path.

No one was in a hurry to climb upward, for they all knew clearly that whoever moved first would inevitably be the immediate target of the other two.

Xia Haoyu wore a brilliant smile and said, "It’s not a matter of who remembers clearly, but look, you remember quite clearly yourself..." His tone carried a hint of sycophancy, likely having realized that I had made the same discovery.

He clearly witnessed his own robust life force, poised to tear through Zhu Sha’s body like a wild beast, when suddenly, a piercing light appeared right before him.

Passersby were stunned, watching such a beautiful girl wandering the streets so carefree!

This thought occurred to Chen Zui immediately, but he did not ask right away. Instead, he handed the money to Qiu Xue for bookkeeping and, following procedure, deducted the ten percent informant fee of 5,000 yuan.

Under the sunlight, waves of sand surged forward like an invisible giant hand, peeling away the desert layer by layer.

The moment their figures departed, a high-speed rotating cage of black lines appeared exactly where they had stood, now facing the many sacrificial victims of the human and demon races.

Watching the stone giant about to launch its second attack, and seeing his own arms, which could no longer move in the slightest, he felt a sense of despair.

Such is love in this world; if you don't like someone, you don't like them. Where is there any reason to haggle or refuse to let go?

Chen Xudong was dumbfounded, and Wang Dazhi was dumbfounded; the two stared at Chen Zui like he was a monster for a long time.

Chen Zui gave a wry smile. He had bought 20 catties of sliced meat and other vegetable ingredients, but looking at the situation, he reckoned he wouldn't get much to eat.

Zhu Yao had always been a person with strong adaptability. Regarding the current situation, as an infant unable to resist, she calmly chose to adapt.

The man seemed to pause for a moment, his eyes, which had just been sparkling, dimming slightly, yet he walked straight toward her.

Initially, Shi Lei intended to let Zhang Yu go just like that, but suddenly, a bloodstain on the ground caught his attention once more.

Directors, actors, scripts, special effects, props, and so on are the basic elements of making a good TV series or movie; none can be omitted.

Seeing the doctor convinced, I gave Master Zhao a thumbs-up without changing my expression. His talent for hoodwinking people had truly reached the pinnacle.

The knocking stopped. Zhu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her troublesome brother had finally left, only to hear his faint voice once again.

In the past, this would have been impossible on Earth, but at this very moment, it had become a complete part of the city, gradually becoming familiar to many citizens.

"Thank you for this stone you gave me, Aggron, let him also see our strength!" Steven took out the gemstone that had been threaded, and then Aggron began to glow in an incredible way.

These immortal concubines did not have high cultivation levels, but judging by their actions and expressions, they seemed accustomed to life here and showed no resentment or hatred. The Immortal Emperor's palace was filled with many immortal pools, but these were not the ones Ye Fan was looking for.

As the two formed their Dao seals, the Imperial Guards behind them simultaneously channeled their magic. Their Embroidered Uniform swords let out a crisp cry and, in an instant, flew from their hands into the void, forming a single, massive blade.
