Chapter 449: I

Have you heard?

The Demon Master has secretly colluded with the Wolf Lord; the Demon Master has betrayed Huaxia.

Whispered voices began rising everywhere across the land, and even amid the chaos of the world and the rampant demonic calamity, the news spread without hindrance—as if, in an instant, the entire world knew.

And they also learned a phrase destined to be passed down through the ages.

Came in pure and clean, left pure and clean.

Such noble words—fitting for Lord Dou, truly exalted.

“Correct. These ten Sky Crystals correspond exactly to the ten layers of the Heavenly Mirror: from the first layer, White Cloud Mist, to the final layer, Dark Cosmos—precisely matched.” Zhang Fan said.

Wen Qian also gently picked it up, brushed off the dust, and stared at the flyer in his hand several times. Especially the blurry photo in the upper right corner—it looked like a silhouette of himself at some public event, yet more like it had been cut out from a newspaper.

The Gao family was merely a decaying clan of this era, embodying its traits and limitations. Thus, it was certain that Abuyao was despised within the Gao household.

But the one struck dead was not Gao Fangping; it seemed the Master truly possessed some magical power. Thus, Wang Qinfei, though furious, dared not accuse Gao Fangping, instead whipping furiously at the few subordinates arranging the ritual.

Gu Yuzhou was about to close the bedroom door to give Xiao Se privacy when Xiao Se suddenly threw back the covers and croaked hoarsely: “Yuzhou, come sit with me a while.”

Zhang Heng curled his lips into a mocking smile and ignored the other’s question, instead firing back directly.

After speaking, she actually wiped the sweat from Luo Lie’s face. Her motion wasn’t gentle, but it looked convincingly like care.

He Jindong carried Gu Yuzhou all the way into the Sihe Academy, and along the way, many onlookers pelted them with sunflower seeds, peanuts, and candy—harmless, a blessing, which they accepted gladly.

Amid this peculiar quiet, Ning Zhixiang and Yu Youran finally completed the ancestral bowing rites and were escorted to the bridal chamber.

Zhang Wang noticed Liu Yun’s state and flicked her nose with his finger: “What are you thinking about?”

“Take him and get out…” Colonel Kexita pointed at Colonel Wu Zhongzheng and roared at Tang Xiaoyan.

Seeing this, no one could even gasp—only a silent, helpless groan echoed in their hearts.

No strong resistance, no organized force, no experienced junior officers—nothing but slaughter, flight, and wailing.

The old man’s eyes flickered, and he waved his hand: “Don’t know! Don’t know!” Then he broke free from the grip and left.

The Barbarian Bodhisattva grunted, swung his hand backward—not dodging, but reaching straight for the brilliant blue-purple light. Zii.

Then, over a dozen home republics of the Eastern Alliance, hundreds of cities, tens of thousands of people moved simultaneously.

Su pointed to the spot where Luo Ben had been lying and asked softly. The roof had a slight slope; Luo Ben had slightly modified the thatch for comfort and safety, making it easier to lie or sit.

Leaving the carrion beast king’s den, the raven was gone. Nuotan didn’t understand—the carrion beast king had been severely weakened, and though the raven was weak, why had it fled in such terror?

After eating and drinking their fill, the group tidied the wooden table, exchanged farewells, and departed. Li Ao, under the influence of alcohol, went to cultivate; Jian sought a place to meditate; Delai returned to the temporary lab; only Luxi and Lianhua remained by the table.

Yu Chuxuan glanced at Chen Feng, still “thinking” over there, then turned and left with Mi Ya and Si Qiyu.

During the time EVA controlled the body, the magical energy penetrated too deeply, reaching the point of addiction; nearly half her current symptoms stem from withdrawal, with the most severe effects in the brain.
