Volume One, Chapter 68: I'll Stay With You

The faces of everyone present shifted; such people, who brandish the banner of justice while committing acts utterly devoid of conscience, were truly beyond their experience.

Mo Shu tried once more to ease the brakes a little, his hands still gripping the steering wheel tightly. He needed to adjust the angle bit by bit.

The decorations above were remarkably simple yet sturdy, clearly subdued by methods unknown to Fang Hao and the others.

“Snake blood? Are you poisoned?” Er Bai licked his lips, smacked them a few times, and shook his head. The three brothers hurriedly retreated a few steps, raised their axes, and hacked at the tree’s branches. Sure enough, the tree writhed all over—three impulsive fellows.

Wang Hao spat a mouthful of blood, as a wicked energy merged within him, causing his vital force to become instantly chaotic.

Although he had entered the central tower, Jia Chun continued to shower Chang Min with attentions; of course, it wasn’t entirely because of her—more importantly, he wanted to use her to get close to her brother.

The worst-case scenario was to clear out the zombies in this building; if there were no reward envelopes, they’d have to sneak outside to look for them, rather than brazenly search.

“Not bad!” Ye Jinyu indeed thought so. He believed there were three suitable candidates to captain the spaceship: himself, Li Chunfeng, and Sun Xin.

“Exactly! After teasing Shen Ruobing too much, Han the princess’s expression turned green.” Mao Lin and his companions deeply agreed. Yet, they still couldn’t fathom why Han Baobao reacted so strongly.

Her elegant eyes were like two brilliant stars hanging in a deep midnight sky, brimming with moisture, radiating an air of grace, instantly evoking thoughts of her inner refinement.

Huoyuan snapped back to his senses, abruptly pushed her away, sprang up from the ground, patted the dust off himself, and lowered his gaze in panic.

With a tug, the black cloak was stripped away from the figure, revealing his true face.

A ray of sunlight slipped through the half-open window, landing behind Ye Qian, making her silhouette glaringly bright. Yet the cold, clear aura she exuded invited lingering glances.

The others were stunned, then the Giant and Dark both respectfully saluted, while Gernet stood frozen, and Miejue’s expression was exceedingly peculiar.

The harvest was tremendous, as all sorts of precious treasures flowed into their hands, becoming resources to nurture those around them. During this period, Gu Tianshu and the Sword Burial God King broke through, advancing to the Divine Sovereign realm, making Lingxin’s forces ever stronger.

Lingxin’s face was full of smiles as he stroked Zilin. No one was more pleased than he that Zilin had reached this stage. Now Zilin could truly assist him, and soon, fight by his side—the caliber of a holy-level powerhouse was exactly what he needed.

The Barbarian tribe possessed special abilities, able to understand the language of beasts and communicate freely with them; for certain rare beasts, this ability was invaluable.

Inside the air duct, Zhang Shaofei and Ant tumbled heavily against the opposite wall. Midori Kawama bumped her head, causing a thud—she saw stars, the world spinning.

Li Guangyuan felt his mind was muddled. Though Feng Ziyin hadn’t admitted anything between her and Qin Yan, lack of denial was almost as good as admission.

“Subordinate… your subordinate did not know Lord Lurs was here. I acknowledge my mistake and beg Lord Lurs for punishment!” Xuanqing knelt on one knee, the arrogance from moments before now replaced with utmost humility before Lurs.

“The guild war isn’t over; the guild leader can still rally the team. Since we broke through the Proud Universe Guild’s stronghold before, we can shatter their spirit stones this time too.” Mist didn’t want to give up so easily.

So much time had passed since he called, yet the guy was nowhere to be seen. Old Tian’s complaints were entirely reasonable.

Ling Yan had clashed with Yinglong for over a hundred rounds. Now, fatigue was starting to show; his strength was less than Yinglong’s, and such brute-force collisions were not his forte. Ambushing from the shadows for a fatal strike was his specialty.

Along the way, although Grandmaster Qingtian hadn’t directly witnessed it, he realized the Sacred Land’s power had waned greatly—especially since its representatives couldn’t enter the treasure world. For a moment, Grandmaster Qingtian even suspected these two were imposters, ready to flee.

Threads of golden light blossomed, extending from deep within Long Aotian’s bloodline, gradually covering his entire body.

Liu Shishi’s heart began to flutter, though she kept up a facade of calm and met his gaze.

“Now, aside from our company, only the Lu Corporation has the greatest competitiveness. So, if the Lu Corporation is eliminated, Mayor Lu will have no other choice,” Minister Zhou said slowly.

“That’s right, Xiaoting. If your friend calls, let him join us as well.” At that moment, Shangguan Yun smiled kindly at Lin Xiaoting and spoke softly.

Recalling how he and Wang Yangming had sought out Zhou Longfei only to be humbled by him, naturally left him deeply disgruntled—he harbored no goodwill toward Zhou Longfei.

However, she wasn’t very knowledgeable about these topics, so during class, even while dozing, she still paid some attention.

At this moment, Saburo Yamamoto lay on the ground in agony, clutching his stomach and gasping.

Though they thanked us, they had no intention of retreating! What exactly are they after?

Xia Tian finally managed to finish speaking, struggling from incoherence and confusion at first to fluently recounting the entire incident. Though she reverted to her former self afterward, it didn’t matter—she didn’t care, nor did she want to.

Jiro Suzuki didn’t know what was wrong with him. But, under Conan’s persistent urging, he finally agreed to his request.
