Chapter 226: It

The Heaven Serpent Sect is a very peculiar sect.

Some sects were founded by great cultivators who transformed into demons, but though they have since become demonic forms in pursuit of immortality, they were originally human.

The Heaven Serpent Sect is different—it began as a snake of unknown breed and cultivated step by step upward.

Many snake demons follow the ancestral path of dragon bloodline cultivation; this path is relatively easier and naturally leads one to uncover the essence.

She sipped her tea slowly; in this life, she had come for revenge, yet a trace of weariness still lingered in her heart.

There was no way she could just tell everyone outright that demons ate people and urge them to rush out and buy True-Qi Pills.

He was not discouraged—genius herbs and treasures arose only through rare chance; timing and circumstance were both indispensable, and not every strange place could nurture such treasures.

But as long as he still held the reins, he could slowly move it back to his own courtyard, bit by bit.

“Sister Shuangshuang, what are you talking about? I only regret not rescuing you sooner, forcing you to stay inside so long.” Ma Yuwen slammed the table hard, seething with anger.

“I know why—the Krypton AI system, under Zero’s command, bypassed this planet!” Daimeng understood her situation clearly; the moment Xiao Baoshi pulled her from the ring, she ignored his question entirely and spoke at once.

The young man shrugged helplessly. He stepped forward and sat on the edge of the trash bin, patting the empty space beside him. Throughout, he kept his hands open to show no malice, maintaining a subtle distance from Jin—close enough to be near, far enough not to provoke her.

Jiang Yu sensed something amiss; she promptly accepted the invitation. This must be something important they wanted from her—why else would they send someone so early?

“So many people bought villas—why did you come to me? Why not borrow from someone else?” Zhao Yu asked.

Moving to the capital meant she could always watch over her parents, and most importantly, her lifelong dream had come true ahead of schedule.

Xiao Dahai occasionally poured water for everyone, giving him a faint sense of presence. Sometimes, he even joined Zhao Chuzhang and Li Jiangchi in offering forced smiles.

Sending someone here now—no need to guess the purpose. Just started playing and already giving up? With this little fighting power, do you really think you can cause trouble?

As expected, the instant he dove into the dodge, Wang Zhen’s once-noble face twisted with cruelty, and his right hand unleashed his most prized technique: the forward straight hook.

Moreover, these ferocious beasts were extremely intelligent; if they saw no advantage, they would never strike first. Take the current situation: even though Su Mu walked boldly through the mist, not a single beast dared approach him.

“The bronze boot that broke the heir of the Chong State Duke’s leg—was that the one you gave the Prince of Nan’an?” Princess Shouning asked.

Given current human technological development, this mysterious place is not truly unexplored.

“Then please, Brother Yu, take good care of me!” From the moment Zhang Yujie abandoned Xiu Ping, their stay in Tianmeng Sect was sealed; Zhang Yujie was wise enough to know this—though he understood Yu Mingyuan was using them, both sides harbored ulterior motives and were merely exploiting each other.

Though he knew Gu Jueqing could easily prepare those dishes, he still did not wish to disturb their private time.

A pearl, two meters tall, floated in the cave, bound by several black chains. Beneath it lay a still-bloodstained array; the chains exuded a heavy aura of ill omen, as if wreathed in swirling black vapor.
