Chapter 96: A Warning? Li Junsheng Felt a Lingering Fear...

Li Xiaoyu’s scream immediately drew the attention of everyone else in the room.

“Xiaoyu, what’s wrong?” Tang Liang was the first to rush over and help her up, followed closely by Li Junsheng and his companions, all of them puzzled by her sudden outcry.

The laser beam hit the monster’s head directly, but it had no effect whatsoever. The creature merely glanced up at the God of War, then ignored it and continued forward. Zhang Shaofei chuckled, as he had anticipated this outcome long ago, and promptly switched to a laser cannon.

Yan Yu’s hand trembled as she spoke, “Jiangnan?” Since she entered the world, Jiangnan had been her number one rival and the person she thought of day and night. Now, unexpectedly, they had finally met. How could she not be stirred?

This voice was altogether different from the earlier grand and imposing tone; it was like a fine needle penetrating the ear and piercing the heart, intensely uncomfortable.

“What? A monster has appeared above the Andes? Very well, leave it to me.” Bird laughed heartily, adjusted the flight path, and set the speed to maximum.

After yesterday’s strange dinner, she had told Bai Li Wuchen about the Dragon Sword. Bai Li Wuchen said he would have Gong Yuchen divine her fortune, but to her surprise, Gong Yuchen had vanished without a trace and could not be found, no matter how hard she searched.

The man in black felt a chill run through him the moment the crimson silk wrapped around his body. He sensed that what bound him was not a piece of cloth, but a cold, venomous serpent.

Fang Zheng pondered endlessly but could find no clues. He decided to stop thinking about it; after all, these two chakras would be the last to open, and he doubted he would ever achieve that in his lifetime. Knowing more would do him no good.

But who could have foreseen that the Black Maple Forest hid an old fiend who killed them, devoured their hearts and livers, and drank their marrow? Most hateful of all, this fiend imprisoned their souls, turning them into specters to serve as his minions and continue his evil deeds.

As she neared the arena, her palm struck out cleanly and decisively, tracing a graceful arc through the air before landing smoothly on the platform. Her hair fluttered gently in the wind, and for a moment, she exuded an irresistible charm.

“At last, we’re home.” Zhang Shaofei stowed away the token, gazing excitedly at the blue planet before him. Retracting his gaze, he instantly teleported toward Mars, not wanting to wait another moment. But these crucial matters still needed his attention.

Mo Jinghong had already recognized the maid before her as Mo Yu, who had served her faithfully. Although Mo Jinghong was not particularly courteous to her, the maid performed her duties as expected, so she decided to keep her for now.

The reason was simple: last time, he had drawn a slew of Liu Yu’s destinies in the lottery; this time, it was Li Shimin’s turn—he wanted to keep things fair.

Her voice was now a faint whisper, as if it might vanish at any moment, impossible to grasp.

After the rain, the skies cleared, and all things seemed alive. Chang Le Sect, washed clean by the rainfall, was bright and fresh; birds chirped in lively competition, a scene full of promise.

One of the Taoist soldiers heard the sound, his expression growing solemn. He lay flat on the ground and listened closely, confirming that the noise was indeed coming from beneath them.

As they re-entered the corridor, Yan Yun couldn’t help but glance back. That single look confirmed for her that this was indeed the endless abyss of the past.

Rong An’an’s eyes were flustered. Just moments ago, she had been holding her senior brother’s arm, but in the next instant, only half his body remained.

Even the usually composed Fire Shura became unsettled at the sight before him.

Crying and sniffling, he promised never to behave that way again. From now on, he would strive to cultivate and contribute to the world of immortals, aiming to be a model youth among cultivators.

Master Su felt he had said enough for today. Now, all he needed to do was sit back and watch Shi Zhengjie and Xiao Bohan wear each other down, letting them suffer losses. When their fight was nearly finished, he would step in to clean up the aftermath.
