Since the Grand Master promised Tor freedom, I won’t be polite—I’m taking Tor with me, no matter what.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, three men dressed in Miao village attire emerged from behind the Bone Mountain; they were identical to those I’d seen on the stone tablet—each hung two drums from their bodies and coiled a snake around their arms, looking eerie and terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you alright?” Murong Jin glared at the bunch of restless fools before him, his voice filled with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know what had gone wrong—Qin Fangbai… wasn’t right. Was it Xu Qingyang’s appearance or the Su family’s project?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned back and saw a man in a black suit stepping out of the car; even the gloomy sky couldn’t dim his sunlit face—handsome, captivating, as refined as jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing stuck in my throat suddenly came out; my breathing instantly cleared, and I gasped for air like a greedy merchant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping out of the stairwell, before entering the first-floor living room, he thrust his SG551 assault rifle forward first, and it erupted in dazzling flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drink! All this talk.” The man refilled his cup; Rong Xian dared not drink further, so he left it there, then pulled out his phone to send a WeChat message. Xu Ling replied that everything was normal, so he asked a few brothers for leads—and finally got some clues from Yue Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cork of the premium champagne shot up to the ceiling; its enchanting aroma quickly spread through the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Wu must have also felt this couldn’t be an insignificant last message—it was likely a secret too heavy to bear. At this moment, Tang Wu naturally chose to face it together with Zhao An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yangyi’s eyes brightened; if he hadn’t cared much for the first talent, this second one was truly practical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone clapped in approval. Indeed, this would draw the enemy’s main combat forces entirely toward the city of Grila.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Wu ignored Zeng Wu; she needed exactly this kind of unruly wolf pup—how else could she put him to use?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the brilliance of stars, the surrounding void trembled; all dimensions near the radiance collapsed, planetary belts turned to dust, as if proclaiming the Emperor’s arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Heng sneered, then turned his head and fell silent. Xu Bo glanced once, his eyes flickered, and he whispered a few words to Xu Shi—then said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold moonlight shone like silver frost, illuminating every face in sharp detail. The combatants’ movements slowed, then they parted and faced each other, their minds entirely captivated by this strange phenomenon. In this life-or-death battle, where fury had already ignited, the silver frost extinguished it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After years of accumulated buildup, now possessing Golden Core power, he refused to believe he would perish here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on.” Gao Muyan’s face was expressionless; even speaking one word was extremely difficult for him. The Zhai cultivator was even more grave—their hand seals cast phantom shadows as they expertly directed the nine tails, each searing a different section of the arm bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As seconds ticked by, Tang Youyou, Gu Gushen, and Nuo Lan returned first; apart from Nuo Lan, both Gu Gushen and Tang Youyou carried plenty of ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>",666,"2026-06-19T18:47:42.084Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3595dfaa5206eee6bbb12a9c1e546f04f1afb90145f57a11f0dd5b5348ff979f","there-is-a-malevolent-spirit-chapter-163","there-is-a-malevolent-spirit-chapter-161",209,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthere-is-a-malevolent-spirit-cover.jpg"]
