Volume 1, Chapter 61: Killed by Me

Perhaps his expression was too terrifying, as Shen Ru blurted out without a second thought: "If you want revenge, go find the Master! It was the Master who said all this, not us!"

The appearances of demons vary wildly; the first way they judge a creature is almost never by sight, but by sensing the other's aura to determine its species.

"Why did you come back, Felinsoya?" the withered old man asked, staring straight into Felinsoya's eyes.

"Gentlemen, I dare stake my reputation on this: that giant hornet from Yellow Stripe Mountain will have to return Teacher Pea to us safe and sound, exactly the same way it abducted her, by tonight or tomorrow at the latest."

Then, the four of them arranged various round straw cushions on a platform at the bow of the skiff, sitting down one by one. Each picked up a nursing bottle filled with "suofu," inserted a special straw, and sipped noisily while enjoying the fireworks filling the sky.

Hinako was Marian's younger sister, and the Dragon brothers also knew that she had been searching for her sister's whereabouts. As long as she claimed to have found her sister's tracks—

Only to see Old Mai brace his feet against a ledge below, leaning his body forward at a slant, still falling quite short of the distance. Suddenly, he channeled his inner energy and spun, his body instantly expanding to over a zhang in length, his arms also growing more than a meter long. Like a giant gibbon, he clamped his hands onto the inner sides of Ruby's arms, gripping them firmly.

Then he ran ashore into the woods to change his clothes, hiding his discarded multi-functional tactical gear and weapons in a dry tree hollow he found nearby, camouflaging it with bushes and vines.

"What's making you so happy? Care to share, my lord?" the fat man said as he handed over a peeled apple.

The speaker was none other than Gao Zhi, one of the Four Dragon Seekers. He had always been a show-off; having remained silent for so long, he was already bursting with unspoken words, and this was his moment to shine.

One must know that Nanzhong abounded in gold and silver, as well as lacquer, plow oxen, and warhorses. There was never any need to worry that Meng Huo could not afford armor and weapons.

"Senior, I have heard that among your many collections, there is one particularly miraculous treasure. I would love to witness it," Tang Hao said.

It was hard to imagine that someone possessing such terrifying power could be hidden away on Star Glory.

Jiang Jianqian's gaze as she looked at An Liang grew somewhat hazy, and her heavily lipsticked lips curved into an alluring arc.

How could an ordinary human radiate an aura that made even a high-ranking Onmyoji feel a chill?

With that, Liu Shibai looked at Number Three's somewhat pale cheeks, a pang of heartache involuntarily stabbing at his heart. He raised his hand and stroked Number Three's fair, sickly neck for a moment.

They had long admired Master Hao and had always wished to behold his demeanor, though their wish had never been granted. Today, Master Hao had appeared once again, astonishing everyone by shattering the Pill God Pagoda and accomplishing a feat that shook the entire pill-refining world. They were determined to intercept him and properly witness his legendary presence.

Skipping and hopping out of the room, Li Xiangqian walked while pondering: railways, immigration, deception, war, and white colonists.

Crystal Marrow Pill, as the name implies, is a medicinal pill refined by combining precious crystal marrow with rare herbs. When attempting to break through to the third-dimensional realm, it can supply the massive amount of pure vital energy required by the challenger, strengthen and stabilize the physical body, and further help compress true essence to greatly increase the chances of a successful breakthrough. It can be said to be immensely precious.

Not only in the Eastern Administrative Domain, but even across the entire Greater Astral Realm, no one would dare casually kill a disciple of the Qitian Academy.

Xun Yu's expertise lay in statecraft and policy-making, whereas Xi Zhicai's strength was in military strategy. Xi Zhicai took over Xun Yu's role as military advisor, plotting and scheming for Cao Cao's military campaigns.
