Chapter Ninety-Seven: City of Souls

The robed man shook his head and sighed. "Alas, you are still far from it. The Great Way of Time is not so easy to comprehend. If you have made up your mind, I can send you back at once."

Every day, the officials were accustomed to spending a while in the council hall. If there was business, they discussed business; if not, they chatted idly for a few words, as if merely reporting for duty. Then the officials went their separate ways to work, while the guards and constables ran errands or waited for orders.

"Heh heh, truly, heroes arise from the young. To be able to take one of my moves, no wonder even Yan Long fell into your hands." Fang Que gave Mu Tianchen a faint smile.

"Roar!" A silver wolf could no longer resist the temptation. Pushing off with its hind legs, it charged toward Mu Tianchen. The instant its body shot forward, a crisp crack rang out. The Dragon Rock Lion-Tiger Beast had slammed down its paw. The silver wolf let out a miserable howl and fell silent.

At noon, when it was time to eat, everyone had originally planned to fleece the rich, play a few rounds, and then give Su You a good drubbing over the meal. But when it came time to pay, it was Ling Mohan who took out the money.

How could she have no good news to tell him? Could it be that her being with child did not count as good news?

A thought stirred in Gu Zhao's heart. There were places across the country with the same name, and he did not know whether the name the man used was only the same in sound but different in characters. Yet the content of those words made it impossible for Gu Zhao not to grow suspicious. He shifted slightly, making his body better suited to overhear the two speaking.

Although Stone Dare-to-Stand had blocked the attack, the stones above him also began to fall away, and that spirit grew dimmer as well. Then the battle soul slowly drifted back into the World of the Gods' Creation, and the great stone gradually slipped from Ling Ao's hands and scattered onto the ground.

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly laughed it off, for this fellow's tongue was simply too venomous. But they had already known him for hundreds of years and were long used to the way he spoke, so none of them took it to heart.

The instant his body was hurled away, he also saw that the rock monsters within the mountain range were surging toward this place as though endless in number. Among them, he could even feel several extremely powerful auras. That kind of pressure could bring him a fatal threat.

"Damn it, your position is far too unsteady. Are you made of dog-tail grass?" Li Xiaotian said with exaggerated disbelief.

Seeing this, the same four members of the other team also grouped up to respond to the four-man push from Team B. This was also the first direct team-on-team clash of the match between Team B and the other squad, unlike before when it had always been a matter of outnumbering the enemy to gain absolute advantage, or else being at an absolute disadvantage.

Whether October twenty-eighth was an auspicious day, Yin Tianyou did not know. But he would bet that the press conference today would absolutely shake the entire Korean media and entertainment industry.

"No—!" Fourth Hall General let out a furious roar. That was the artifact he cherished most; to him, that scroll was even more important than the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

On the other side, Song Nan's long blade fell again and again, carving deep cracks into the firm, solid ground. The aura of dissipating energy rising from within them was enough to leave Zou Haiyi and Dong Ren utterly horrified.

Since she had already returned to the capital base, Song Nan felt she had done enough. As for Wang Hong trying to threaten her, since she dared to use him, she naturally no longer feared him.

The flash that blocked Sion's charge naturally could not escape death. He was immediately taken down by Lee Wen's Lucian, and right after that, Lee Wen and the others forced their way as a group of five to destroy the outer first turret in UF's bottom lane, taking the first earth dragon in the pit as well.

"My own sister—I know her well enough. This matter has nothing to do with her!" Leng Yifan ordered. "Do as I say. Also, pull everyone off duty today and replace them with a more loyal and reliable team!" After giving his instructions, he asked a few more questions, then waved a hand and sent A Liang out.
