Volume 1, Chapter 57: The Sharp-Tongued Liu Ruyan

Watching Ye Feng turn and leave without looking back, Madam Feng experienced a complex swirl of emotions for a moment.

It had been just like this before when Ye Feng gifted her the top-grade spirit sword, the White Jade Sword. He gave it away without a second thought, as cleanly and effortlessly as if he were merely discarding a piece of low-grade spirit stone.

It was simply ruthless.

Following the surge of that mysterious power, she saw him trace the shape of a crack in the void with his bare hand toward the sky, and immediately, a strange and ethereal phenomenon emerged from within that fissure.

Diaochan glanced sideways at Yu Han, remaining silent. The mere thought that Shen Yuan might be forced to kneel before this person only deepened the hatred burning in her heart.

Meanwhile, Qin Zhenghuang had mobilized every available asset at his disposal, launching a massive, widespread search for Yang Ye's whereabouts.

The strength of the chieftain evil ghost was truly formidable; even Su Yan dared not claim he could secure a definitive victory. He immediately let out a long whistle, his sword piercing the void and shaking the eight desolate realms. Accompanied by countless cascading sword rays, he shattered the black mist barrier formed by the elite evil ghosts in a single stroke, thrusting straight toward the leader-class evil ghost.

Yuan Hao had no choice but to stand guard at the entrance, preventing anyone from entering. Nowadays, this President Ye ignored all company affairs entirely, acting as though he himself were the true owner of the firm. Though resigned to his fate, Yuan Hao could only help him handle those tedious, trivial matters.

Whether it was toying with Ying Wuji and the others in the shoreside forest, everyone entering the formation array, or Ling Yun confronting the enemy, they had meticulously rehearsed these scenarios tens of millions of times, all for that single slim chance in ten thousand.

Yet, he had cleansed himself inside and out, reclaiming the fundamental resolve that had driven his tireless efforts through countless days and nights.

Li Wan remained silent, knowing nothing of the matter, assuming it was playing its usual game of asking and answering its own questions.

Xu Wei understood instantly, the blood draining entirely from her face as it turned ashen white. She cast a mournful, aggrieved glance at Qin Zhenghuang, only to find him completely unmoved, not even bothering to lift an eyelid in her direction.

The standoff did not last long. Accompanied by a muffled grunt, the youth surnamed Wei staggered backward, his face turning pale and blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Staring at Meng Hongyu in terror, he finally restrained his aura. Meng Hongyu's earth-shattering might receded in tandem, his great halberd lifting, yet leaving everyone's hearts pounding with shock.

She never expected that today's impromptu stroll around the campus, where she had merely happened to spot a young man who caught her eye, would lead to a sequence of events so utterly beyond her expectations.

"Did you not hear just now?" Zhao Zixu sneered. Knowing full well that this was an intentional provocation, he nonetheless had no choice but to accept the challenge—such was the agony of being at another's mercy.

To bridge the distance between them and eliminate certain barriers—this was also Ye Shanhe's original intention. Of course, the primary consideration was Li Youjiang's own inner thoughts.

Indeed, you read that correctly. To this day, their status was no longer that of one of the tripartite races locked in a three-legged balance of power, but merely a faction of the "heterodox path."

"You..." Untimely, a soldier spoke up. Dracula merely cast a disdainful, casual glance in his direction.

Under the warm lighting, Su Yinzheng gently closed his eyes, his long eyelashes casting soft halos of light, his breathing so faint it seemed as though time itself had paused around him.

"Boom!" The earth trembled abruptly, causing my entire body to shake along with it. It was here! The guardian beast had arrived! Stay calm, stay calm, absolutely no flaws must be shown.

He knew he had been wrong from the very beginning, but ever since he realized his feelings for her had changed, had he ever gone against her wishes by even the slightest fraction? All day long, he tried to second-guess what was on her mind, yet she would rather smile at Xu Nuo, the man who had once abandoned her, than afford him even the faintest trace of a smile.

Seeing that the situation was on the verge of spinning out of control, Su Yinzheng strode forward and grabbed Su Yinqian, pulling him outward regardless of whether he was willing.
