Chapter Twenty-Two: The Great Battle on the Lake

Enemies meeting face to face, their eyes burned with intense hatred. Without a word, the battle erupted instantly. Mo Yin flicked his fingertips, and a sinister crimson flame, as if imbued with life, surged directly toward Xiao Ze’s face. Xiao Ze reacted with lightning speed; knowing that fighting on land was to his disadvantage, he retreated rapidly to the lakeshore and plunged headlong into the water. The crimson flame chased him to the surface, but was forced to halt, hovering and circling in place above the water.

Qiao Er exerted all her strength to wriggle out from beneath Ji Yuebai. She pulled up her sleeves, and her blade emitted a faint, eerie glow. After much difficulty, she crawled under the bed and retrieved the candlestick, striking a light. The room was instantly filled with a warm, soft halo.

Instructor Pang held a massive torch, which crackled with a soft, rhythmic popping sound as it burned. He waved his arms, his bearded face etched with gravity, urging those around him incessantly.

"The Circle Council once had magi create golems to assist with production, but they were not durable at all. After working for a short while, they would either break apart or run out of energy; they could never work for such long periods like these two," Aolidaian said indifferently.

Now that his status had changed, Ye Zhong accepted the courtesies of the First and Second Masters and immediately instructed them to take him and Liu Dayong on a thorough inspection of Tongliang Mountain to get a clear grasp of its terrain and geography, preparing for the future.

The whistling cyan sword energy instantly froze, fell to the ground, and shattered into pieces. Meanwhile, Wu Ershi unleashed a black-and-white scroll, its vast and mighty power sweeping up the ten original geniuses who had earned the right to enlightenment, soaring into the pale red void at an incredible speed.

Once, Ye Tian encountered a few practitioners bullying others, but he beat them until they were scrambling in terror and fleeing for their lives.

Hua Nu "watched" as the golden hairpin she usually cherished was tucked into Ye Zhong’s pouch. Her eyes flickered, and she looked up at Ye Zhong’s face.

Following that, one after another, streams of light symbolizing the Constellation Palace level rose into the air and departed, like a receding tsunami, like the fading of a grand spectacle, like a perfectly synchronized meteor shower.

Ai Luolumei lifted her eyes and cast a faint, lingering glance toward him. Her gaze shifted, as if a thousand beams of light and ten thousand needles were hidden within her pupils. Seeing their sovereign’s expression, the guardians retreated a step in fear and knelt down one by one.

The person behind the mask had vertical eyes and a high nose; if his eyeballs were not so prominent, he would actually be a handsome man by modern aesthetic standards.

However, for the past two hours, there hadn't been a single sound of carriage wheels in the vicinity. Therefore, Big Brother must not have left through any of the main gates of Prince Yong’s mansion. Instead... there must be a secret passage within this estate. I wonder what Big Brother is up to; he has been plotting quite busily lately.

Jin Kui thought to herself that she really should have stayed at an inn from the very beginning. By hiding in deep palaces and secluded courtyards, how could she ever experience the true customs and folk traditions?

Haozi nodded, then struck Du Junkai on the head with a club. Blood gushed down, and I couldn't help but gasp. It wasn't just me; I saw the reflection of fear in the eyes of the others as well.

Yin Junjie ate as if he hadn't had a meal in days, as if this breakfast were the most delicious thing in the world.

If it weren't for the Star Heaven Monument stating its position, he truly would not have had the confidence to speak to the Primordial Profound Sparrow.

Before Song Yue could say anything, Lucas had already stepped out of the car and headed toward the cake shop.

When Mu Nuanxi heard Lu Lu’s words, her heart skipped a beat, but she finally began to understand. Perhaps the reason Chu Lin had looked at her so suddenly earlier was because of this very matter.

Zhiqiu also emerged from the bedchamber, leaving only Chuxia inside to assist Doctor Jiang. A full hour passed, but there was still no news of Rong Wanxi waking up, which showed how deep the poison had taken hold.

Qin Yu was in Lady Wei’s room, recounting how he had responded to Prince Chen’s subtle signals after the morning court session.
