Chapter 79

Although the sun had not yet risen, the night already carried a faint glow; farmers rising early for work had donned their clothes, and traveling merchants were beginning to prepare their luggage.

But recently, river demons had been plaguing Changshui River; nearly a hundred fishermen had drowned, and despite villagers reporting to the county officials, nothing was done—the Golden Wind Hall’s divine general claimed the demon-locking chains were already laid, but would take another ten days to take effect.

Thus, on Changshui River, where autumn should have been bustling with fishing and hunting, an unusual vacuum had appeared.

Looking at Lin Pingzhi’s handsome profile and his focused expression, she felt a faint flutter in her heart.

He had just rendered the Lin family an unparalleled service; without him, the Lin family would have been wiped out by the locust beast surge.

For the opening of the Heavenly Furnace Dead Zone, the tribal alliance had united like never before; over a dozen major tribes jointly issued a ban on warfare to all tribes across the Monster Continent—from this moment until the Heavenly Furnace Dead Zone closed, no tribe may wage war under any pretext, or face annihilation by the tribal alliance’s thunderous retribution.

It wasn’t that Yun Anbang disbelieved the old princess’s words; it was simply that the matter was truly bizarre.

The director sneered: “I’ll tell you, there are cameras in the room—if you still don’t believe me, I can show you the audition footage of the two of you! If you still think I’m favoritism, bring someone else to check—I’m not afraid!” With that, he moved to pull up the footage.

“Yes, later he went to meet Liang Qizheng; I don’t know the details, and I didn’t ask Liang Xiaohui about their conversation,” Qiu Zhuodong said.

Xiao Yang didn’t know how he’d left the convenience store; in his hand he tightly gripped the space ring storing ten thousand packs of instant noodles, and clearly saw row upon row of instant noodles resting peacefully within the space.

Uncle Huo chatted merrily; though smiling, he still radiated authority that made some feel uneasy.

After all, the mansion intrigue system came from the future, and everything given to Bai Manli were contraband—naturally, the effects were extraordinary.

Xiao Feng truly didn’t want to waste time with her, so he glanced around and finally spotted the Azure Dragon necklace on the shelf, placed beside his removed clothes—likely taken off before bathing.

Zhang Chen’s shock wasn’t due to the tunnels themselves, but because he noticed the number of insects had tripled since before; remember, he’d only been gone for about two days.

But under the keen spiritual sense of the Sacred Realm experts, Yifeng could clearly sense everything happening behind him.

Daxi Xun saw a young man lead the group onto the boat; his years of court experience in reading people weren’t for nothing—he immediately recognized who the leader was.

“Entering Foundation Establishment sixth layer—in Earth terms, that’s a mid-stage peak expert! This time, sit longer!” Zhao Yan thought, his heart brimming with anticipation.

“Really no longer the bottom-ranked?” At this realization, the 12th-class students burst into delight.

On the tower, the five elders of Shu Mountain simultaneously wore faint smiles of relief, their eyes instantly clearing.

In this sword, Su Bo felt a majestic royal aura surging toward him; its energy was profound, evoking the weight of all living beings—even though Su Bo had already formed an indestructible nascent soul, he was still shaken by its overwhelming presence.

“I knew Brother Shen had a way—after all, such a mansion isn’t something just anyone can buy,” Cheng Nan grinned, winking at Shen Yi.

“Bye-bye, I’m done watching—what even is this?” Xu Lin sneered; these things were for the young—his values could no longer accept them.

The coachman had dark circles under his eyes, clearly hadn’t rested well, and had come straight through the night.

Zhu Muchen nodded, exuding a strong masculine aura—he liked that; he called Su Jiao over and told her to inform the three imperial consorts of the name first.
