Chapter 36: Master of the Dating Domain (5,000 words)

Miao Jiang’s throat was gripped, making it difficult for him to breathe. He lacked the strength even to speak, able only to let out muffled groans through his nose.

People were gradually teleporting out of the Abyss of the Ancestral Court, yet a growing sense of dissatisfaction began to spread. While everyone’s cultivation had increased to varying degrees, the new inheritance had still not appeared.

Seeing that Lin Kongxue had yet to cast her pill formation, Sande looked on with suspicion, only to find her eyes closed as if she had fallen asleep.

"Shadow Arts? So that's what it's called. Master is truly kind; she really agreed to teach me," Zhu Yan'er thought, secretly delighted.

Looking out, a continuous range of green mountains stood before them, a vibrant display of life merging with the blue sky and white clouds—a breathtaking sight.

Leng Haoxuan curled his lips. He enjoyed watching Cheng Feifan forced to maintain a calm, indifferent facade despite being furious. His mood had been truly foul, but now, he felt relieved.

Tang Mengxi slowly retracted the third eye on her forehead, and the demon and devil were released from the illusion.

The formation lasted less than two heartbeats, but that brief window gave Yuan Ling a moment to catch his breath and retreat to the location of the previous barrier.

Just as Ye Yun reached this critical point in his practice, and having been reprimanded countless times before, he felt a surge of anger. He lunged at Young Master Qiye and, with a few swift maneuvers, subdued him.

"I went with Father to investigate the cause of the dragon essence dissipation, but we found no leads. Did you discover anything while tracking the flow of the dragon essence in those mountains?" Gu Caiyi asked as they hurried along.

"What exactly happened during the years I was banished? Tell me everything, detail by detail—not a single thing may be omitted!" Han Lang said in a deep voice.

Cong Yi sat shirtless on the balcony, breathing rhythmically according to his cultivation method as he sensed the chaotic power in the air.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xiaoxiao showed no signs of believing me. She snorted and said, "Zhang Cheng, don't I know exactly what kind of person you are? Don't try to make excuses or argue with me."

Leading the final remnants of the nation's armed forces was a responsibility that should have been heart-pounding and momentous.

Years later, when I look back on playing the game "New Moon," this period feels like the happiest time.

"Let's go; we're in a hurry to meet your parents," Cong Yi said, pulling the stunned Jing Lei away.

Powerful devil energy, instantly imbued with the force of despair, seemed to shatter the void, appearing before Mo Chong in the blink of an eye.

With a formidable enemy holding the strategic ground and launching an organized counterattack, and hindered by incompetent allies constantly causing trouble, Marshal Zhukov found his role as supreme commander incredibly stifling.

The situation now was that not only was there a group of malicious enemies clearly set against him, but before they could even strike, they had inexplicably gotten into a fight with another team.

"So the current situation is that you don't trust me, and I don't trust you, right?" Zack said, eating his pizza as if nothing were the matter.

"Who are you, and what are you doing sneaking around here!" Yan Lie demanded, cutting straight to the point.

Lei grew more distressed the more he thought about it. He had screened every hostile force and potential threat since receiving the mission, even briefly suspecting Li Jiahao or Chen Zhipeng, but dismissed them after careful consideration.

"Ha!" Duanmu Ying couldn't help but sneer, both at her ridiculous fate and her own naivety. Knowing the outcome, she still wanted to give him a chance; how could that be anything but laughable?

"Then why did you suddenly admit it just now?" Vaguely, she felt that something was not quite right.

Ye Feng had always been curious about the Life and Death Talisman. Since the Tianshan Child Elder was willing to teach him, he had no reason to refuse. He absorbed everything she imparted like a sponge, learning, understanding, and internalizing it all.

Hearing this, Saito’s hope surged, and he watched Hamada Ryoko with bated breath, waiting for her decision.

"Squad leader, pass that car in front!" Li Xin said after finishing his call, looking at Su Xinlan.

"Then are there any other ways to activate the teleportation array?" Chen Ran asked, refusing to give up, though his heart felt cold and hollow.

Looking through the fractured containment layer, Yang saw that the external environment seemed even more hostile. Billowing thick smoke filled the sky, and the firmament looked as if it were splitting apart, burning.

As they spoke, Qin Haonan led everyone forward again. Fortunately, they had eaten food that reduced hunger; otherwise, as they continued to run, their hunger levels would skyrocket, likely lowering their speed and other attributes.

Facing the pressure exerted by the three of them, even Yemole could not help but be moved. His expression turned solemn as he held one hand against his chest and the other low against his abdomen, forming a mysterious mudra. Once again, ethereal Buddhist chants resonated in their ears—hollow, sorrowful, and as faint as a dream.

The Mother Worm could exert mental control over every insect on Earth, which showed just how terrifying its mental power was.

Using loved ones to manipulate someone was an old method, but it never failed. Tang Haofei had no family or friends, but "loved ones" are things that can be artificially created.

Unifying the entire Star-Patrol Corridor meant gaining access to all the magic gold, which in turn meant possessing an unimaginable number of Xuan-gold warships, thus laying the foundation for unifying the universe.

But the rest of his words were stuck in his throat; it turned out this fellow, Ye Chenfeng, was staring straight at her.

Bai Shenshen exhaled a浊气 (foul breath). He looked at the intensifying black sun in the central passage for a moment, then suddenly let out a cold laugh.

He turned abruptly and, under the astonished gazes of Lin Muyao and Mu Chengxue, walked between them.

Sheng Fang Yujie’s situation was not his fault; Fang Yujie had been favored by the Immortal Emperor and replaced, which did not necessarily implicate Lin Tianxue herself—judging by her behavior, she was not a participant in this series of events.
