Volume 1, Chapter 45: Sacred Water of the Stars

At the headquarters of the Paranormal Guard Bureau, Chief Han Fei wore a livid expression as he rushed with his subordinates toward the Paranormal Prison.

Just ten minutes ago, he had been playing chess with the old geezer from the Defense Ministry. Just as he was about to win the match, a subordinate burst in to report that the little black dragon on the fourth level of the Paranormal Prison had gone berserk, shattering even the defensive array!

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Han Fei almost flipped the chessboard over. This was a catastrophic matter!

Unable to linger with the Defense Ministry Minister, he immediately set off for the Paranormal Prison.

Are you kidding me? If even a single high-security prisoner from the fourth level escaped, he, the Chief of the Paranormal Guard Bureau, would be docked ten years' worth of salary. If two escaped, he would be demoted by half instantly!

If three...

Meanwhile, separated from her by only a single peak, another rose endowed with spiritual essence had grown. Selected by the spirits to cultivate the Dao of demons, she was none other than Yi Shangyun.

"It doesn't hurt at all. I slept so comfortably, and I've also learned many secret arts. I even know a really fun move now, so I won't be afraid of those bad guys anymore," Rongrong looked up at Wu Yu and said happily.

"Well then, I'll ask..." Fang Shen hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage and asked, "When you fought against Augus Galas, it was clearly you who ended up injured at the end, but why was Augus Galas..." Stopping there, Fang Shen trailed off, not knowing how to continue.

In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared ten meters in front of Zhang Yang. It was of medium build, wearing a black cloak and a demonic mask with two sharp horns on the head. The mask was golden, forged from an unknown metal, revealing only a pair of eyes and a mouth.

Encouraged by this, I filled my glass to the brim once more and said to her, "May we stay together for a lifetime, never to be separated. Cheers!" With that, I tilted my head back and downed the drink once more.

Three elemental energy lasers of different colors shot out sharply, striking three blade arcs respectively, but the other two had already reached the three of them.

The blow was delivered with immense force, instantly swelling both sides of Yaoyao's face. What Yaoyao cared about most was her face, as she still relied on it to find a good partner.

By this time, Yang Changmu no longer needed to be tied to the pillar, though everyone still had to keep watch over him whenever his withdrawal symptoms flared up, just in case something went wrong.

Even someone like Lanshan, who possessed a god-like physical body, would sooner or later be exhausted to death if plunged into an endless, sleepless battle.

Ling Feng's meridians were continuously widened by the energy, and his aura began to surge violently, instantly breaking through to the low stage of the Metamorphic Realm, and shortly thereafter leaping to the high stage of the Metamorphic Realm.

However, Ning Nuannuan's lips were so soft and sweet that Bo Shiyan felt as though he could never get enough of kissing her; instead, he grew increasingly addicted to her.

Chen Gui smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries, sending the scholars off to rest, while he turned to greet Sun Ce and Zhou You who were approaching.

Therefore, when she saw Xu Ying, she was overjoyed and pleaded with him, because Xu Ying was the only familiar face she knew.

Qoan took a deep breath and took it upon herself to open the door. The room was already empty, leaving behind the clothes he had changed out of on the carpet, while some movement came from the bathroom inside.

Fortunately, Yu Guangguang and his group had not been idle along the way, sweeping away all the outpost checkpoints and saving him the trouble of doing it himself.

First, he used the blueprint for the mining workshop to assign all nineteen swamp murlocs to work there. After leaving behind enough food for two days, he stationed a skeletal archer to guard the place.

Furthermore, even discounting these two materials, the spiritual farmland redeemed from the trial space also came with a batch of rice seeds, which were excellent materials for brewing wine.

As the Sasha fleet and the Blood Raider fleet sortied through the wormhole, a Coercer-class ship flashed in the void. Its two antennae twitched slightly, and a massive electronic jamming pulse swept across several surrounding star systems, concealing all the Sasha suppression control towers within them.

In the inner hall, the young Sun Quan sat staring blankly at a map. Upon being informed that Zhou You had returned, he hurriedly stood up to welcome him.

In the command room, Shi Man looked at the battle situation on the starmap with a haggard face yet forcing himself to stay alert, his brows furrowed so deeply it seemed water could drip from them.

To this end, Su Xiao even carefully observed the instructor's appearance after the dismissal, only to find that the instructor looked thoroughly serious, with not a single point of amusement to be found.

Zhuge Nie vanished from the spot upon finishing his words. Ye Changjing cast a meaningful glance in the direction of Jun Wuyi and the other, then paid it no further mind.

Ancient divine favor, ancient potions, churches that perhaps no longer existed, and ancient pathways that might be incomplete or had lost their standing due to a realignment of ranks.

"Take a look, is this okay? I feel my aesthetic taste is still quite good!" Zhou锦生 said with a hint of pride in his tone.

He shook his head. There were simply too many burdens on his shoulders, and the general was too busy with romantic poetry and wine to spare time for idle chat about rumors.

A long queue had formed outside the Chen family estate at this moment. The Great Elder, along with several other elders, waited at the entrance. If not for his darkened complexion, one might have thought he genuinely wished to welcome Chen Feng back.

Night gradually descended, yet I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The moment I closed my eyes, all I could see was Si Ye's starry eyes, and I wondered if the general had gone to sleep yet at this late hour.

Shi Qinghe gave a dry laugh in response, then simply pulled her parents upstairs to help them unpack their bedding.

Because he had seized the body of Sect Master Zhou, the Black Nightmare Envoy's strength had dropped considerably, making it seem somewhat unrealistic to kill an-Red Flame Rat of this caliber with a single blow.

"Have a taste..." he smiled. In the morning light, there were stars twinkling in his eyes, and the curves formed at the corners of his lips were perfectly breathtaking.

Even if he had a complete falling out with Master Ding, given Master Xian's fondness for Xuan Yan, the former would surely step forward to protect him. However, constantly troubling Master Xian was simply not Xuan Yan's style.

"What are you doing? Naturally, I'm here to attend a banquet alone! I heard your three families are gathering—this is an extremely rare and wonderful opportunity to wipe you all out in one sweep," the tall young man sneered, making no attempt to conceal their purpose for coming.
