182、Terrifying Isolation (6K, 1/1)

“Yang Yuanwei…”

Zhou Chang stared at the middle-aged man reflected in the basin, his expression dark.

He had no connection whatsoever with this deputy director of the Spirit Regulation Bureau.

Even with his son Yang Mingrui, their relationship was merely one-sided—he knew Yang Mingrui, but Yang Mingrui likely didn’t know him.

Yet, despite there being no feud or conflict between them, this man had used supernatural abilities to attach the “Smoke Ghost” onto “Xie Jin.”

The mountain forest was utterly silent along the way, save for occasional gusts of wind rustling leaves with a soft shush—more dangerous than when I went to Old Crow Ridge with Biyao; if not for the King of Beasts accompanying me, I’d have been too terrified to take another step.

He brought nothing with him; this trip was just to scout the situation—what comes later will be decided later.

Jun Wuxie’s gaze sharpened, and in an instant he leapt up from the ground, his palm striking back at Wu Ling’er with fierce force.

“Dad, Goudan brought back a pound of minced meat, all chopped up—we’ll make cabbage dumplings for lunch.” She pulled out a lunchbox from her bag—the same one Xu Xiangyang had used to pack chicken last night.

Gao Fan roared, thrusting his hand seal forward; spiritual energy rose over his body, forming a rat over four meters tall.

But manpower and material resources are also vital assets; delaying this long would only invite criticism from superiors.

“What is this? What’s going on? What happened?” As the shockwave passed, people returned to the ground.

This matter was of immense consequence; the imperial family, the Zhan Prince’s mansion, and the Sword Marquis’s household all received word immediately. The imperial family could not act openly, but the Zhan Prince’s mansion and the Sword Marquis’s household had no such constraints—they reacted at once, ruthlessly punishing those spreading “rumors” while fully investigating the rumor’s origin.

In the Mingshen Cult, the lowest rank were mere pawns who didn’t even qualify as followers—barely more than experimental subjects.

I turned around; Zhou Yun waved me over. I walked to the car door, and suddenly she hooked her arm around my neck and planted a hard kiss on it—it hurt.

The only way to enter the Heavenly God Academy is to obtain a recommendation from a Consolidation Stage expert and pass the three trials before you.

Iris and Shels knew exactly what the behemoth intended—they launched their attack immediately, giving the beast no chance at all.

These men were all heavily built, with broad shoulders; walking together, they completely blocked the alley.

“Cangmang?” Gan Shaolong flinched at the name, then remembered something—he grabbed Chang Qingqing and hurried off, stopped at the street corner to summon a beggar crouching by the wall, whispered to him, then picked up Chang Qingqing and rushed back into the courtyard.

Both had been busy lately; when occupied, they didn’t feel distant. But when they unexpectedly met amid their busyness, they’d suddenly realize how long it had been since they last saw each other.

“Kael, whether the dream is real or not, returning to take control of Quel’Thalas is essential!” Locke began urging Kaelthas again.

To invite such a powerful B-rank as a “Guardian” requires a heavy price.

Even though Gao Shixin was his father’s close friend, he could only shake his head regretfully, giving the impression that nothing could be done.

The zoo’s strength was certainly formidable—but they were all muscle with no brains. Why would anyone need them?

Rhonin and Tyrande, watching the playful banter on the kodo, felt this was how life ought to be; in comparison, though she had lived countless years, she had never known such warmth.

In university, by chance—or rather, by my own initiative—I took a job at an entertainment venue, leaving behind my poor student identity and stepping into a life of designer handbags.

My heart gave a quiet gasp of surprise; I subtly pulled something from my person, suddenly stood up, and swung it out—landing perfectly around his neck.
