Volume 1, Chapter 28: Opening the Gates of the Underworld Once More

Shunzhi’s dark eyes shimmered with a brilliant light, brighter than the brightest stars in the heavens.

The newcomer was a burly man of about thirty, short and stout, yet imposing and majestic. He looked toward Sima Xin with a smile.

Zhuyun walked over and bowed to the group. Zilan, having already been startled once, had built up some resistance and followed suit with a bow. The two young attendants, having only recently been enlightened, were not well-acquainted with these prominent figures, but seeing Zhuyun and Zilan bow, they quickly followed suit.

The sense of loss in Du Wan’s heart vanished instantly, replaced by a radiant joy. Lu Zhao escorted her back to her courtyard and only left after watching her enter her room.

As luck would have it, Lin Ke was not on duty that day. Sun Chenghe went straight to ask Grand Tutor Liao.

"Your Highness, let us do just that. We must find a way to hold on for this month." At this moment, the only person qualified to speak was Pan Yunbao. He glanced once more at his father’s pale, haggard face, clenched his fists tightly, and straightened his back.

However, when the man looked up at the sky, his half-lidded purple eyes caused a thunderous roar in Huo Tong’s mind. Accompanied by the exquisite face tilted toward the heavens, a strange sensation washed over her from behind, and a shocking thought emerged in her mind. She turned her head abruptly.

A sprig of red plum blossoms bloomed in his hand. Nearby, a string of firecrackers exploded in the air, lighting up half the sky in red. He raised his hand, using the plum blossoms to shield his eyes as if to shut out the sudden brightness.

"Have you ever thought about what you would have done if you had proposed to me that day and I hadn’t agreed?" Tian Mi sat on the bench, leaning against Lu Xiangdong. This feeling, akin to recovering something lost, made her cherish the moment all the more. Thinking of Lu Xiangdong’s words from that day, a honey-like sweetness welled up in her heart.

"Who is Yelu Chucai? I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere," Liang Yuan said, blinking her bright eyes as she looked at Tang Feng.

You are quite skilled at dealing with trolls and ogres, aren’t you? Seize the opportunity and let the one in the basement out.

Wang Jian’s words left Li Yang deeply dissatisfied. It made him feel as if he were incapable of achieving anything without the Duke of Lu, and the urge he originally had to tell the Duke about the matter faded away.

When the onlookers present saw the full appearance of this beast king, they all gasped. It was the first time in years they had seen such a creature; its entire body was filled with a regal aura, and its explosive power was beyond imagination.

To put it more favorably, any company that has worked with Helen is often able to receive her support.

Suddenly, several city guards gripped the sabers at their waists. They pushed aside the crowd of citizens entering the city and closed in on the carriage covered with a cyan tarp.

Hua Yuan also sensed the man’s anxiety, but upon second thought, he refrained from saying anything to stop him.

Although Zhu Di was a prince, and a capable one at that, to a practitioner of the Dao, he was of no great concern.

Su Yan himself was strong enough; engaging him in combat was like facing an abyss, and it was difficult to find any flaws in him.

Lin Feng crossed the log bridge without incident. The scene on this side was much like the other, though there were no tombstones; instead, the jungle grew even more densely here.

For the entire afternoon, Patch accompanied Elizabeth on a general tour of New York City, briefly visiting some of the famous landmarks nearby.

The three goblin warlocks went mad, locking onto Lin Feng from all angles, attempting to blast him to death with magic.

Although Yang Jian usually appeared a bit muddled and easily fooled, that was only because he didn’t care about such things. When it came to serious matters, his other side emerged; at this moment, he was very calm.

"Son, did you teach it that?" Mom also looked astonished. Having lived for so many years, this was truly a first for her.

About twenty minutes later, there was movement in Tianci’s room. Tang Yan knew Tianci was up, so she knocked on his door and walked straight in.

"You are right to think so; anything that science cannot currently explain can be classified as magic," Patch explained once again.

Without the aid of any tools, his perception of his surroundings was nowhere near as sensitive as that of Zhang Taibai and the others.

"That girl fell!" Gong Qianzhu could not help but exclaim. Just as she was about to fly out to help her up, Mo Zili pulled her back, signaling her to look outside.

Moreover, even after swallowing the Dragon Pearl, the Howling Celestial Dog showed no signs of turning into a dragon, instead becoming a unique divine hound in the world. If a dog could achieve this, he certainly could too.

If she could recover these items one by one by completing tasks in the future, she would undoubtedly be happy. However, for the moment, game experience points were of great use to her.

After hearing the news, Chen Xiaojun was completely dumbfounded; he realized he had landed himself in big trouble.

As if he couldn’t make sense of what he was saying, those muttered words caused a flicker of tension in Gao Lang’s eyes.

The hall, which had been a terrestrial paradise moments before, was now left with only Feng Wuhou and Zhou Yan, suddenly appearing empty. "What is it? Did the Third Brother send someone?" Feng Wuhou asked, seemingly offhandedly.

"I hear that Aotian is an unprecedented genius of the Ao family. Today, I want to see for myself," Ning Wen’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"It is the Duke of Supporting the State, Jia Mingyong." There seemed to be a peculiar implication in Ming Jue’s tone.

She hadn’t expected the Feng family to hold such a view. Tang Mei’s eyes widened; even a thousand years later, such ideas were promoted, and children’s rooms were always meant to be decorated with vibrant colors.

A clear, resonant horn blast rang out, followed by the simultaneous raising of a strange black flag on nearly two hundred merchant ships. Although the design looked bizarre and clearly made in haste, the Cinnia Black Eagle in the center of the standard could be identified at a glance.
