The man flexed his wrist, eyes alight with battle lust, meeting Qin Feng without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, two servants dragged Huo Bao into a cave hidden behind the garden rockery inside the estate. Ahead lay a tunnel descending underground, twisting several times, taking the better part of two tea breaks to reach a vast subterranean altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Strange Dragon King, cleverly, followed Jin Shengzhe’s turn, never letting Jin Shengzhe face his flank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Fa Xuan set aside Qin Yang’s matter for now; chaos was imminent in the Wilds, and the balance of the Underworld might shatter—he couldn’t afford distraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This floor was crucial to the Rat’s Nest; its defenses were naturally formidable, especially since the intruders had yet to be subdued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew full well that her words against him had been overheard—now, anything she said would be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought of how she’d been here nearly two months, yet her main quest still had no direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Feng watched the black aura steadily devour the golden aura, his heart steadied, and he unleashed a flurry of punches in one breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Xia thought for a moment; given Meng Yan’s diligent study, she smiled. Meng Yan felt uneasy, trusting An Xia completely—An Xia said she could, so she believed she could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Jingyu had just witnessed Jian Han’s wit; in the first round, he’d sensed her sharpness, and now he wanted to test it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re afraid the food’s poisoned and want me to taste it for you?” Ye Xiao understood—she meant for him to eat first, suspecting the meal was tainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet her mind kept replaying that scene: Lu’s hands were warm and dry, fingers long and well-boned, strong and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those houses were all made of incredibly sturdy rock—Liu Qiangwei was stunned, letting out a loud cry: “Oh my god, am I dreaming, have I ended up somewhere else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master… are you deliberately provoking a war between righteousness and demons?” Qing Yue followed behind, doubt flickering across his face. “Once we enter the city, even if I’m punished, I must find a chance to persuade him again!” He gazed at the blood-soaked man leading ahead, his eyes filled with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn approached; Ling Feng weakly opened his eyes, his face streaked with blood, yet lit with a radiant smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Continue the previous policy. I grant you authority to recruit soldiers, but ensure quality,” Chen Ning replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think I’ve changed, Third Brother?” Peng Mo studied her brother’s expression, her smile faint, her gaze subtly complex. Peng Hao said nothing, only frowned at her, his eyes equally unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he continued searching, a sturdy figure suddenly blocked his path—he crashed headfirst into the man’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his words, Joseph and Ali exchanged a strange glance and nodded silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a cold voice rang out again—the sword dust had just caught Liu Li, but she vanished once more into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Underworld Continent instantly enveloped the area; the Emperor of the Underworld hurled himself at the colossal dark devourers surrounding him. Thanks to the energy of the Underworld Continent, she became invincible and unkillable for a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhanyun slapped his forehead: “Of course! How could I forget—I need to inscribe spiritual patterns for you~!” He immediately sat cross-legged to restore his true qi. Xuehei unusually said nothing, only added: “Oh my, oh my~!” with an inexplicable excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood with his hands behind his back; unlike those struggling helplessly, Chen Yi seemed remarkably at ease—as long as he didn’t provoke them, the Qilin Powder’s flames harmed him not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Aunt Liu knew his situation well—Shi Yi was startled, about to ask why, when a sudden, urgent knock came at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Hui, could He Shi be trying to…?” The assistant hadn’t finished when Fang Hui shot her a glance—she fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Ruyu froze in place, utterly at a loss, her beautiful eyes locked on Zhao Xuan’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this, Fang Tao and the others wore strange expressions, their gazes at Mao Guanghong tinged with faint pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After Liu Yue found out, she rushed out to confront He Dong—but I stopped her,” Xing Nan now gripped Liu Yue’s wrist; she struggled, but to no avail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Yang of Sui was clever and perceptive, yet also impatient for quick results, reckless in execution, indifferent to the people’s suffering, and cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu helplessly pressed down on its body, pushing hard twice until he finally shoved it into his backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This car was arranged for her by Brother Hu—a spare vehicle from the Grain Bureau’s Transport Team, driven by Hu’s personal driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Chuyao and Di Lan were rivals, both desperate for their own artist to become the company’s top star. But after two years, He Shi had only just begun to gain popularity, while Zou Chuyao had switched two artists—though neither made waves, Zou Chuyao had left an impression on the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this wit and slippery charm, he’d prove useful later—killing him would be a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>",919,"2026-06-20T07:33:44.085Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c943f8d0a9b8ecc830e117be4fae982a7e2794bed2532acee8b03453c1839045","the-king-of-2000-a-mandopop-dynasty-chapter-839","the-king-of-2000-a-mandopop-dynasty-chapter-837",883,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-king-of-2000-a-mandopop-dynasty-cover.jpg"]
