Chapter 63: Fearing Him, and Fearing You Too

The Lady's heart felt as though it were about to leap out of her throat.

Tang Yiwen and the others were instantly galvanized. Seizing this opportunity, all of their attacks plunged straight into the raging inferno, expanding the already massive wall of fire even further. Spiritual energy surged and churned, sending tremors through the rock walls dozens of feet overhead and causing a cascade of gravel to fall, bathing a radius of hundreds of meters in a crimson glare.

Observing secretly, Jiang De noticed that both Lin Chong and Xu Ning had their fists clenched. However, Lin Chong's expression remained calm, unlike Xu Ning, whose hair stood on end with fury.

Spitting out several golden sword auras measuring dozens of inches in length, they instantly slashed through the vast expanse of space, heading straight for the Spider King's more vulnerable abdomen.

"So it was last year when you, my brother, traveled with me to Xichuan that you laid the groundwork for this map?" Fazheng suddenly recalled past events and asked Zhang Song.

The Daoist whisk trembled incessantly, guiding He Chuncheng's soul as it fluttered toward the body of the paper figurine.

If Protector Wang were truly to use this as an excuse to ask You Jingyan for help, You Jingyan might actually risk his all to fight Tiger Head Mountain to the death.

Therefore, this city no longer belonged to humankind; no one could act with impunity here. In District B alone, he had detected numerous presences that posed an immense threat to him. Had his stealth abilities not been top-tier and his mental strength exceptionally formidable, he likely would have perished here while scouting this region.

"Ahem, well, you see, I simply forgot for a moment. But it's quite all right; my memory is still rather decent, and my navigation is not bad either. I am hardly likely to get lost." Clearly somewhat embarrassed, Bai Sen coughed a couple of times in an attempt to mask his awkwardness.

Bai Sen had not paid much attention to the maps of this world, having only a rough understanding of it. Knowing that the suburbs were quite a distance from Muxian County, he turned his head to ask.

Bai Sen's tone was entirely casual, as effortless as drinking water or eating a meal, appearing not to care particularly about the armor plates on the table.

One had to admit that while money was not omnipotent in this world, it could certainly accomplish a great deal. Upon hearing Manager Li's words, the thugs who had previously retreated immediately swarmed forward once more. Although their eyes still held confusion and timidity, desire predominated!

Even such a tender and beautiful romance could be betrayed, and even that initial heart-fluttering emotion could be exploited—how much genuine affection was left in this world to believe in?

Her eyes opened in the darkness, as if searching for something within the endless gloom. She felt that her love for Jiang Ye was beginning to spiral out of control; she loved too deeply and had invested too much, unconsciously surpassing her own ability to rein it in.

Having delegated the matters to his subordinates, Shang Hao paid them no further heed. To him, as long as one possessed formidable battle prowess, reclaiming those starry territories in the south would be a simple matter.

Gao Zhi chuckled softly, pressing his left hand lightly downward. The ground immediately trembled violently, but then the tremors vanished, completely suppressed by Gao Zhi.

The activation of the Mirror of Emptiness proceeded exceptionally smoothly, and Gao Zhi stepped right through without any concern that they might play tricks. Indeed, the Hall Masters of the seventeenth level lacked the audacity to play any games, allowing Gao Zhi to pass in peace.

Gao Zhi smiled and reached out to grab the giant stone vat. All the changes here were occurring because the master of this domain was nearing death; perhaps, then, he could learn more from these two squirrels.

Gazing at the departing figure of the Immortal of the Grotto-Heaven striding away, a trace of coldness crept onto Li Cheng's face. Without any discernible movement from him, a water dragon rose from the seabed, soaring straight up into the firmament. When it reached the sky, its body shuddered, instantly transforming into thousands of golden-winged roc birds as it charged toward the immortal.
