Chapter 1044: The Deceptive Array Master

The Five Tai'e Brothers hurriedly retreated to form a shield before Mo Hua, standing like five small mountains, forbidding anyone from approaching.

Cheng Mo, Yang Qianjun, Sister Situ, and others also began surrounding Mo Hua, tightening their formation.

Feng Zichen, relying on his superior body technique, led the charge straight toward Mo Hua.

Using the Immortal Treading the Wind Step to close the distance, and the Eight Trigrams Drifting Wind Step to weave among the Grand Void Gate disciples, he became a white phantom, breaking through their line in less than a dozen exchanges and charging into Mo Hua's second line.

But this substance has severe side effects—the next day, the user will vomit and diarrhea, an absolute torment of half-life.

During this period, the Shadow Sect's growth was immense; the number of Tianzun cultivators alone reached a million. Thus, the Ningxian cultivators were even more numerous. Moreover, the Shadow Sect had an endless supply of pills.

The school's various fees were personally set by the Ministry of Education, with all charges and standards publicly disclosed to society, and admissions conducted through a unified examination to ensure fair competition for all students.

Shen Zhan drove aimlessly around, having no mood to go to the office; he wanted to find Lin Xinxin, but discovered she was neither at home nor at her studio.

"No—it—" Lang Zhan said, his lips twitching twice before closing. He had wanted to say, "They're far stronger than you," but realizing it would hurt, he swallowed the words.

Less than ten seconds, the Ice-Fire Bird snatched and devoured all three herbs. It wasn't truly snatching—it still had discipline: four roots of Cold Fragrance Golden Root per bird, and after eating, each had just enough left for its companion, yet they acted as if sated, never leaning their necks toward the others.

Lin Xinxin lifted her gaze—it was indeed the old fox! He must have already planned to force her out with nothing, hadn't he? The child was probably just a trap.

"Have Zhaboladín immediately compile all the intelligence he knows—I want the full details," Victor thought, then slammed his fist hard onto the table before him and barked.

"You two called me here just to tell me you miss me? Nothing else to say?" The Master asked us.

Moreover, if Wang Yang were truly in danger, this hidden one could still do something.

Seeing the faint glimmer of despair in Marion's eyes, Ye Tian knew this elopement was her greatest possible rebellion. At the bar, had he not happened upon her, she would have been captured by Jerome and imprisoned somewhere.

And as the Ice Shuttle spun forward, boundless heavenly and earthly spiritual energy surged in, its integration level wild enough to be called insane.

"Damn…" I thought inwardly, my fists pressing downward just as Black Whirlwind's knee was about to ram into my stomach.

Their weapons were varied: Linjia Vajra Club, Snake-bodied Trident, Long-handle Waist Drum Hammer, Twin-bladed Asura Knife, Long-spear Cross-Gun, Smelted Gold Hammer, and more—all present.

That is to say, the "Dog-Beating Staff," relying solely on its current "self-awareness," could already fight and defeat a Golden Immortal, then challenge a Great Luo Golden Immortal beyond its level.

After discussing military matters, it was lunchtime; Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong naturally seized the chance to pig out on a free meal at the Huang residence.

Yu Qingquan pushed open the hall door and stepped inside first; then the nine others followed one after another.

They had assumed Xie Jinyun, having taken such a large jar of wine, would at least drink it slowly, cup by cup. But no one expected Xie Jinyun simply lifted the jar and drained it all at once.

Some see the journey of their entire life; others see what they've always desired. Now, what I saw was not my life's journey—then what was it?

The senior brothers argued all the way to their seats on the Beast Arena bleachers, and even after sitting down, they kept bickering.

Dan Dan simply couldn't understand the White Tiger—having a soft, hugging sister who adores it, yet refusing it? What a cat who doesn't understand life.

The talisman was perfectly square, like jade carvings, its four sides engraved with gilded seal script characters, the gold letters shining brilliantly, blinding and scorching.

Rapidly descending a million meters—even with his formidable body, landing directly would have been fatal. But fortunately, seconds before seeing the ground, he finally regained flight. Though his reaction time was minimal, it was enough to escape death by fall.

Pulse force flowed like blood within him. Ling Xuan frowned deeply, silently reciting, yet failing to grasp its true meaning. He clearly felt his blood flowing silently, yet the pulse force forcefully filled and circled his meridians.

And once Jiang Ziya became chancellor, retrieving this segment of Wu Tong wood and giving it to me would surely not be difficult.

After Ling Xuan and the others entered, seeing the massive crowd on the first floor, they went straight to the second. As they ascended the winding staircase, barely stepping on a few stairs, they heard loud arguing from above—shouting, almost screaming. Ling Xuan furrowed his brows slightly; the voice sounded vaguely familiar.

The next day, another imperial decree arrived at the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion, stripping Han Shuo of his title as heir to the Cheng'en Marquis.

Back home, Hu Tou had caught a large rooster; it was still alive, struggling, but Hu Tou held it firmly to the ground, while Ping An had already started boiling water to pluck its feathers.

But everyone was uncertain—could this hold back the monstrous army? Especially with the Night Blade Lynx and Bloodthirsty Phantom Wolf among them.

"Father, Xing Ran possesses the rare Ling Sheng Xuan Xian Star Divine Body. Throughout history, only one other such body has appeared—becoming a great power of the Ancient Era. Xing Ran shares a similar constitution with that great one; even in today's Dragon Continent, he could become a towering figure." Han Bing revealed without concealment.

Deep within his heart and mind, both told him and warned him: this was merely an illusion, its actual destructive power extremely limited—if he gritted his teeth and endured it, the rest of the battle would become far easier.
