Chapter 65: Collusion from Within and Without

Madam Chi valued her reputation; even after being separated from Master Chi for so long, she hadn’t dared to breathe a word of it to her own family. But now Shen Jin spoke such words in the street, as if grinding her dignity into the dust.

“I haven’t said anything, Lord Shen, why must you be so aggressive?”

“Mother, stop this, apologize to the young mistress—it was you who…”

You accepted the commission from the hidden NPC Uncle Blue Sea and set out to Field No. 7 to retrieve his mischievous son. As the wielder of the strongest metal-based true energy, your offensive power is more than double that of all other energies; even a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining must approach you with caution.

A startling scene unfolded: not only did the skeletal claw release Mountain Thirteen’s head, it suddenly plunged into his throat, exerting a constrictive force upon his neck bones. Then, with a sharp crack, his neck was twisted and broken.

The youth in yellow staggered backward, his legs numb and barely under control, but the young man in blue hurried forward to support him.

As the two spoke, it was as if Yang Tianlong did not exist. When Tiger One of the Fields had seen Yang Tianlong enter earlier, he’d sized up the young man and deemed his cultivation inferior, which explained his arrogance.

Ling Yan gave Mo Yang a bitter smile and shook her head, then turned and headed upstairs. Seeing Ling Yan depart, Mo Yang relaxed into the sofa, feeling the situation grow increasingly favorable for him. Only the persistent warriors of the Church and the red luan leaves he wished to collect remained.

“Very well, that’s settled. We’ll go to Xilin first, then Beijin, and finally to the Ghost Sky Grand Canyon.” Brahma Tianluo’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

Madam Du still wore an expression of terror, as if she had seen something dreadful, but upon hearing Shao Yu’s voice, she quickly recovered, offering a shy smile. “It’s like this, I have something I’d like to discuss with you. Is that alright?” Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

“The Dragon Burial Grounds?” Liu Chen’s expression shifted subtly. Every true dragon is nearly invincible among the saintly ranks, and the Dragon Burial Grounds themselves are infused with boundless draconic energy, bestowing endless fortune.

When her father began to speak of serious matters, Shen Muyu shed her playful demeanor and looked calmly at Shen Xiaotian, sensing that he was about to discuss something related to martial cultivators.

The sleeveless leather vest studded with rivets accentuated her already generous figure, while the tight, low-waisted shorts exposed her slender waist.

In the blink of an eye, three spheres of light exploded simultaneously; the world was remade, and the Temple of the Underworld was utterly destroyed.

Lu Shenbei was furious at Jiang Muxiao’s actions, yet he knew she had suffered much in recent times, and so his heart ached for her.

Otherwise, if he simply told him that Lin Siyang had been beaten, he might react out of concern for his son and not pursue the cause.

“Thirty-six chapters in all? Ascending to immortality?” Zhang Jing, hearing this, no longer cared about possible ambiguities in the name.

A flicker of emotion crossed the man’s eyes. He pressed his thin lips together without explanation, instead driving the car back onto the highway.

At the heart of the garden lay an artificial lake, winding and meandering. Its far end faced Ye Chen, resembling a green dragon breathing pearls and drawing air.

Jiang Muxiao’s steps involuntarily slowed; her grip on the knife tightened, as she tried to discern whether the approaching figure was human.

As all of Guangzhou was stirred by the news that Uncle Nine was about to be conferred as the God of the Underworld by the Ministry of the Dead, the city was abuzz with intrigue.

It was only after the silhouette of the Nine Phoenixes disappeared that Zhou Xiong, supported by the soldiers, finally regained his composure.

Though several years had passed, allowing for some adjustment, his mindset had changed greatly and he was no longer the same Xue Yun as before.
