Ninety: The Swarm of Centipedes

The mountains rose steep and majestic, towering into the sky, veiled in drifting mist and layered with verdant peaks.

At the foot of the mountain, a clear stream flowed slowly along, its murmuring water pleasant to the ear.

Fearing that her abilities might be limited within the pocket dimension, Liu Yi sent away the tearful little tiger cub and brought Liang Zuan to the highest peak among the Nine Mountains, Old Gold Mountain.

Standing on the summit, she could command a view of the surroundings; it was easy to defend and hard to assault, making it the perfect place for her to work in peace.

She took a soft cushion from her pocket dimension and spread it on the ground before setting Little Phoenix down.

"Did we order the wrong thing? We didn't order dessert," Ivy said. Beside her, Xu Mengdan had already been preparing to strike ruthlessly, only to be stopped by Ivy.

Yet Jiang Yunting was holding a kitchen knife and gesturing with it for ages, still unable to figure out where to make the cut.

Liang Yiyi knew her brother believed everyone around him was one of his own men, with no outsiders present, which was why he had asked her that.

Lin Si could relate deeply. As Bai Xiaonan's assistant, she had faced pressure from every department during this period. Ever since graduating from university, she had worked beside Bai Xiaonan, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation of being attacked from both front and back.

Sensing the urging looks cast by Yan Wushuang and Luo Wuxin, Shaohua looked at Ning Wuyou with hope and a hint of unease, as if begging for his help, only to be utterly ignored by him.

...Well, she did not know exactly what kind of devastating blow it might be, but she was certain of one thing: this person was rather eerie and full of strange notions.

This was by no means Li Si crying wolf, because if the Four Demons truly intended to take the world's strongmen under their command, they would definitely tell him.

Xu Ruxing's voice was light and airy, yet her gaze remained fixed on the resplendent hall of clinking goblets and glittering lights. The brown of her pupils shone brightly, like stars in the sky, flickering one after another.

Once the computer had booted and connected to the internet, she opened a browser and entered a website address.

Guided by Youlei and Shentu, the group wound their way around before finally passing through the ghost palace of the Northern Yin Emperor of Fengdu and arriving at a building in the ghost city of Fengdu that stood second only to the emperor's own palace. Under the guidance of Youlei and Shentu, the two of them made their way all the way up to a private room on the top floor.

The commander of the garrison troops gave the order. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers of the garrison spread the pair of transparent wings on their backs and took flight, dispersing instead of clustering on one patch of ground, turning the battle into a three-dimensional one. They also raised their gun barrels toward the intelligence officers on the back of the Guo Lizhong robot, preparing to fire.

But Yunxu was unwilling to give up. He still wanted to try, so after resting for a while, he returned to the mountain gate and continued to shout challenges. Those people chased after him again, but Yunxu ignored them and ran off once more.

What slightly surprised Jiang Ming was that in just half an hour, a thousand movie tickets had sold out.

Seeing the white tiger's appearance, Ye Tian immediately felt much more at ease. It seemed that even dyeing its fur would be unnecessary now. If not for the fact that its cry was far too different from a cat's, this creature would be no white tiger at all, but an outright premature kitten.

Yunxu even spared himself the trouble of going out. He simply drew out the blood of those spirit snakes, spirit rabbits, and spirit pigs. As for the beast cores, of course the people themselves took them away, since they also needed to cultivate. Yunxu did not press the matter either; otherwise, who would ever risk their lives for him?

"If he can change classes, he might even become more powerful than Sect Master Zhao!" Su Moline nodded, looking rather proud. This was intelligence she had finally managed to pry out of the shopkeeper after much difficulty.

Hearing this, the man nodded to Master Jingkong, turned around, and after closing the door, headed to the main hall of the Hengshan Sect to report to the sect leader who was inside.

As for what was happening inside his body, the changes were even greater. Aside from those two kinds of energy, his true qi had mutated as well, though not by much. If this happened to anyone else, it would be no different from having pie fall from the sky. But for Liu Yibin, it was hardly worth mentioning.

Chen Xinjin sent out a sword strike, and the authority he wielded burst apart in midair into scattered motes of dust, like stars strewn across the mortal world.
