Chapter 124: Promising Since Childhood

“He looks mature. Black people are all like that.”

“Then he’s positively overripe.” Ao Xi scratched his eyebrow. “Is he a gang member too? Which gang?”

“The Crotone Street Blood Gang.”

“They certainly put no effort into their names.”

“Most of those kids barely went to school. Being able to write their own names is already an achievement.”

“All right, then. What did he die of?”

“I don’t know. Nothing was taken from him, but—

Yan Yunchen could even sense an overwhelming demonic aura approaching from far away, heading straight toward them.

Lu Xinwan, Lin Yi, and the others had already arrived outside the City Lord’s Residence in Heavenly Demon City, and were just about to enter.

Ximen Qing had said that only the world itself could sever the connection between a zombie and her. And the world had stolen the gate’s purple shikigami.

The Fire Qilin might be supreme among the demon race, but so what? The very basis of their supremacy was their formidable strength, was it not?

Although the seating arrangement appeared unreasonable, it was, in fact, determined largely according to each person’s strength.

Obsidian was one of the indispensable materials required to repair the Demon-Slaying Sword. Now that the Life Stone and ruby were in hand, the only thing still missing was the former.

He was eager to get there, though he did harbor a trace of selfish intent. If the Fourth Prince had already begun fighting Qin Ming and the others, he would not mind intervening and helping the Fourth Prince capture Qin Ming and Jiuying. That would at least give the imperial family an explanation, so that the death of the Seventh Prince would not be blamed entirely on him.

“By the way, Lady Yunshang, may I ask whether you know a man named Ou Yezi?” Lin Yi asked Hua Yunshang with a faint smile.

At that moment, Sun Luomiao hurriedly tried to explain, terrified, but he also knew that his explanation was feeble and unconvincing.

Separated by the formation, it could not discern the cultivation levels of the two sides. But Yuan Mu and Man Da were, after all, powerful warriors at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, so there should not be any problem.

He had ascended the throne so suddenly, and with their assistance the process had not been particularly difficult. Moreover, the ministers were fairly supportive of him. The emperor had therefore begun to feel defiant and somewhat wavering; it was entirely possible that he could no longer see the reality before him.

The circular platform beneath their feet was made of a special material. The one belonging to the Chi Clan had already been smashed beyond repair, and restoring it would take some time.

With that, he went outside and brought in a bowl filled with steaming herbal medicine. It had plainly just been brewed.

A figure resembling a cheetah suddenly flashed forward. Powerful stellar energy compressed the space within a hundred meters and forcibly locked Ye Ran in place.

“Mother, leave it to me.” Da Jueluo immediately understood what she meant. After entering the residence, he soon left to make the arrangements.

Judging by the attitude of the people in Taolin Town—and considering how evil spirits plagued every corner of this world—even if they did not kneel and offer their heartfelt thanks, they ought at least to have been happy.

She was the opposite of Bai Zhi: the higher she went, the stronger the thing’s attraction became. Despite her formidable spiritual and mental strength, she wished she could fly straight up at once.

Wang Yunlong did not understand what Long Yi meant, but he did not care in the slightest. He and Wang Feng both had guns, while Long Yi was merely a swindler. What could he possibly do to them?

It was just that their current consort had the same calm expression as Fourth Brother, while inwardly her tongue was sharper than Imperial Father’s and her complaints more relentless than Tenth Brother’s.

The car slowly turned into the Flower and Bird Market. The market was one of Shencheng’s major development projects. The wind was strong outside, but there was scarcely any wind within the market.

“General, come and take a look at this!” The scout led the way, with Hua Hu and the cavalry following behind. In truth, there was no need for a guide—the road ran in only one direction. Otherwise, Bai Yan and the others would not have nearly been trapped to death here by three sorcerers.

At the mention of her “mother,” Wen Yukou’s expression darkened with sorrow once more. Hua Yue noticed and softly comforted her for a few words, yet could not help feeling a faint ache in her own heart.
