Chapter 614

Below the main peak of Luoshan lies the Hongluo Manor, a cluster of pavilions and towers; standing beneath the stone archway at the manor’s entrance, Liu Xiaolou felt a deep sense of nostalgia.

Thinking back, when he had accidentally visited the manor back then, he was only at Qi Refining Stage Three; now, nearly fifteen years had passed—it was truly like a lifetime away.

He checked the time again; he had arrived precisely as scheduled, with no delay, so he passed through the archway and walked toward the manor gate.

Hongluo Manor

After eating a meal at the village chief’s house, he felt he had returned home in glory; Jiang Youwei entrusted the village chief to find suitable ancient architectural craftsmen, then took his leave.

An odd sensation stirred in the mysterious man’s heart; his eyes brimmed with killing intent, yet his fingers trembled, as if struggling against something.

After all, the Star Alliance could not demand everyone fight to the death while denying them proper sustenance—that would only provoke unrest among its internal factions, Star Lords, Immortals, and cultivators, something the enemies of the Divine Realm and Spirit Realm would gladly welcome.

Wang Nuo seized the chance to acquire Renle Zhai by relying on a model he had long hoped to implement—not a novel one, but effective.

“I’ll go call the military medic.” Yu Qing turned to leave, but before he could step out, Liao Shishan grabbed him; the world spun violently, and he was pinned onto the Luohan bed.

After enduring the CSRC investigation, Chen Man had corrected her self-perception; having resolved to remain a researcher for life, she felt no passion for her work whatsoever.

This back-and-forth lasted no more than a blink; before others could react, Gan Zhuozhi had already lost.

At the border of the Manggu Star Region, over a dozen high-ranking Star Lords watched Liang Ji’s cultivation of the Void and his formation of the “Nine Yang Star System,” their eyes wide with astonishment.

The assassin bore a scar across his forehead, his face heavy with muscle, utterly brutal and ferocious; he fixed his dark eyes on me, a cold, malevolent gleam radiating from his narrow gaze, killing intent unmistakable. Dressed in a plain black outfit, he was the epitome of a professional killer—no wasted motion.

When Han Yanrou heard Yue’er wasn’t crying loudly over the phone, she froze, momentarily confused.

She looked up in panic, staring desperately through the crowd toward the entrance—and met Mu Xiaoning’s gaze head-on.

Moreover, the urban ruins and technological development here were breathtaking; after descending the mountain, Luo Chen entered the city and realized its modernization far surpassed any city he knew—even Fenghuang City.

Getting these big names out? One alone is hard enough—how about several heavenly kings and queens, plus Old Master Liu?

But why would she fabricate such a lie? And who exactly was she searching for out west?

He exhaled a long breath of stale air, gazed deeply at the old monk in the mural, then continued forward.

The scene shifted again—to Li Yi’s first battlefield observation, where comrades’ blood sprayed and dismembered limbs lay horrifyingly scattered; yet their faces held no regret, no remorse—only hatred that the war had not yet ended.

Though still somewhat worried, confused, and doubtful, they no longer spoke words of despair.

The elder led everyone to another stone chamber, filled to the brim with shovels, hammers, knives, and axes.

“Let me handle it.” Luo Chen reached out, embraced Shen Wuqing, kissed her lips, then walked over.

This is likely the most frustrating aspect of island defense operations: once control of sea and air is lost, garrisons on different islands can no longer support each other, becoming isolated units.

“Really? Do you truly believe that? Or are you just saying it to cheer me up?” Aike found it hard to believe his ears.

Xiao Wen clearly saw the fellow flailing wildly in midair within the Ancient Sea Breath; he stared for just an instant and nearly went dizzy, quickly looking away.
