Chapter 306: The Most Terrifying Person

Inside the Sunlight Circus tent.

At the center of the backstage stood a mirror reassembled from fragments, its surface riddled with countless cracks that looked wildly unstable.

Within the mirror appeared an endless ocean, serene and tranquil.

A luxurious yacht rested beside the shore, its deck adorned with a fiery red gown that fluttered in the wind.

Mary gazed at the distant horizon, savoring this moment of peace.

She loved this atmosphere of quiet comfort.

Zhang Hao had originally intended, as the bushy-browed cultivator had said, to acquire a few more high-grade artifacts to exchange for this jar of Kongming Soil—but now, hearing the cultivator speak this way, he knew his plan wouldn’t work.

With a flash of his storage ring, Lin Jun produced ten mid-grade spirit stones in his hand.

No one knew why this demon god had hidden himself under the title of Wasteland Lord, repeatedly igniting the Wars of the Abyss.

After another two cups of tea passed, Yang Yixuan felt the chilling energy suppressing her cultivation technique had vanished completely, and a warm sensation now spread across her back.

Meng Feiyun smiled faintly, waved his hand, yet his expression made it clear: shattering the Golden Core and forming the Nascent Soul was merely a matter of time.

“Cough, no big deal, overreached.” Mu Shi chuckled bitterly, caught his breath, and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from his face.

“Boss Long! Boss Chen! The Yunyao Imperial Palace has just been sold for twenty billion to Big Boss Long! So from now on, the Yunyao Imperial Palace belongs to Big Boss Long!” Liu Xu beamed with pride, as if following Long Haoyu was the wisest choice—but he was wrong.

Zhang Hao planned to set up a grand array outside his cave dwelling, so even if he wasn’t on Tai’e Peak, he wouldn’t have to worry about anyone harming Zhang Ling’er and the others.

Two guards stood at the entrance checking tickets; because a godlike wealthy man who had bought the Yunyao Imperial Palace would be attending, security was exceptionally strict.

Since she had chosen Zhao Chu and decided to protect what was hers, she must press forward without hesitation.

“Yes, Marshal Ge Siyun! Then we’ll take our leave.” Speer and Ribbentrop exchanged glances, exhaled deeply, and left the room in disgruntled haste, fleeing the space that made them deeply uncomfortable.

Qian Jin’s first act upon returning to town was to rush back to the inn and pack his belongings quickly, fearing delay would mean he couldn’t escape. But as he reached the town gate, he saw Wei Suo organizing his men.

Neither of them expected to encounter Yu Zi here; both froze. Lu Keru smiled gently at Yu Zi, then lowered her eyes, appearing meek and obedient.

The Special Operations Unit underwent a full reorganization. Qian Jin initially assumed all teams would return, but he was disappointed—he saw only Team One return; Teams Two and Three remained absent.

“It’s the Sand Pine Demon!” Even though Ying Sang had warned them in advance, the entire team erupted into chaos.

“Not bad, decent looks. Let’s do a triple tonight.” The man grinned wickedly, scanning Ye Zixun’s entire body.

When Fang Yao suddenly announced action, everyone was baffled—why announce it now, right after dinner? Don’t you want us to live?

One guard noticed Qiao Junhui turning to look at him, waved him over with a gesture.

Well, to be precise, he was hovering midair; Lin Chen struggled desperately but couldn’t move forward, feeling excruciatingly trapped.

Finally, he winked at her with sincere eyes. That eased most of Asuna’s anger; she sighed helplessly inside.

Li Muyang had just spoken these words when he suddenly cried out: “Trouble!” and spun around, sprinting outside. Everyone froze, then rushed out after him.

“I’ll do my best, but you know—Master Mu hasn’t returned to Tianyi Sect in over a thousand years. I’m not even sure I can persuade her to help!” Murong Xuan dared not say more; from Xun Xi, he’d learned that after Mu Ningxin rescued the injured cultivators from the Immortal Palace, she had ignored them entirely.
