Chapter 224: The Second Volume: A Shock to the Readers

A few days later.

Taiwan.

The new books of "Divine Tomb" and "Heaven-Earth-Xuan-Huang-Ling-Tong Tower" were released simultaneously.

Many readers were surprised that this month both books had two new volumes released, but many others found this painful.

Because their pocket money wasn't enough to buy four new volumes.

Novels in Taiwan aren't cheap.

Some readers could only grit their teeth and choose between the two new books.

Ke Jingteng walked into a bookstore.

Zhang Wangtian thought: Now that I've obtained the Dan Ding, the Dan Pu, and the recipe for the Qi-Refining Pill from the Dan Pu, it's time to start gathering the herbs.

The Nirvana Sacred Heart is gone, but the sealing array remains—though it has no effect on others, rendering it effectively useless.

"Aren't you surprised I know all this?" Ye Fan voiced the confusion in the other's mind.

Xiao Dong was now carrying a bucket to find a well. This mansion was huge, with several wells—clearly his master's former family had deep roots. In the many places Xiao Dong had lived before, some villages had only one well; those nearby were fine, but those far away struggled to carry water. Only the wealthy could afford wells inside their homes.

Feng Wei strolled into the room with a grin, treating it like his own home, followed by Chen Yang and He Yunwang.

With those words, Fang Hun clenched his fists tightly, and in his eyes, sharp blades of light flashed like streaks.

Du Yasheng remained calm, but the impatient Fluorescence couldn't bear this atmosphere.

Thus, Yi Xiaoyao's gaze sweeping over the powerful figures kneeling before him suddenly turned icy.

The Empress was weak and isolated, her maternal clan powerless; she could only watch helplessly as the Empress Dowager schemed and moved about.

The sharp focus of Xue Liang's eyes was like a spotlight—where Ze went, crowds gathered. Hu Hu gripped his sleeve tightly with one hand and clutched Lucifer with the other, her lips pouted enough to hang a baby bottle, for she could see nothing but their backside.

Ze, the one who understood Mo Mo best, saw her smiling and knew she'd passed her anger—even if still dissatisfied, she'd give him a chance to explain before passing judgment. He casually leaned toward Mo Mo, smiling warmly as he reached for his son.

I know what the lead fox's strange look meant—he probably thinks a Seven-Star Fox shouldn't be unaware of something so simple.

Fuyun Sanshen viewed Yueying's behavior as arrogance; he sneered and immediately began chanting. Below, the sea suddenly boiled, and thick mist rose in an instant, enveloping his figure.

"Of course, it's better than anywhere else—if not for school, I'd never have left the mountains!" Mo Mo wrinkled her nose, staring fixedly at her hands, missing the orphanage director and her friends.

This selection trial proceeds by elimination. Before you enter, I'll give each of you a badge; to pass, each of you must collect two badges—meaning of the hundred entering, at least half will be eliminated.

As the words ended, the blade hovering before the Illusionary Man instantly shot toward Wu Ming with lightning speed.

"We received orders to seal the entire hotel and clear all personnel. We'll coordinate with your plan," said Director Wang.

This is real strengthening—not strengthening due to the geographical condition of the Lava Sea.

Though this reply differed from most people's expectations, and some criticized Lu's concealment, others still viewed the matter rationally and trusted Lu's explanation.

After delivering Yu Die'er to Xi Mian Palace, He Tai took his leave; the seven-day deadline with Prince Hui was approaching, and he still had many mysteries and matters unresolved.
