Volume 1, Chapter 54: Entanglement

“Forgotten?” Lu Jinchuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his words dripping with heavy sarcasm.

The pirate fell from the sky, lying on the island before revealing his true form as a demonic tiger, roaring in agony.

It was early autumn; sunlight streamed through the blue sky, casting a warm and tranquil glow upon the earth.

Humanli’s heart fluttered as she shot him a coquettish glance, as if hoping the man would produce more evidence.

Because the crystal ball was too hot, “Nine Forty-Seven,” Wang Minghai directly manipulated the water to lift the crystal ball, then hurled it toward the fiery eagle soaring in the sky.

Faced with the concern of the elderly couple, she could only bury her head between her long legs like an ostrich.

Failing to find Wang Minghai, they lingered briefly before rushing deeper into the canyon.

“I’m a single man, and you’re the one who got the advantage by sitting together on the same car—you owe the bigger share,” Qin An said.

Guo Zhonghan took the keys, completed the paperwork, and drove the slightly dusty but seemingly decent Volkswagen out of the town hall, heading toward the Feng family’s residence.

That hardness pressed against his side, that burning sensation, traveled straight up his neck to his mind.

It was a prophecy! The Doom Bracelet revealed a vision of the future—The Forward would be attacked by pirates, though when was unknown.

After a long moment, Xiao Yi slowly regained his composure, though his gaze remained vacant and listless.

“I have information here.” The representative of the Battle Guild manipulated a psychic camera, projecting an image of a jade-green horned helmet along with details of the equipment.

Li Shuyi and Qiao Rui began browsing through the merit redemption list, but within seconds, both shut it down, their faces stricken with shock.

For a moment, three figures clashed midair, their attacks so swift that most could not discern their trajectories, only the strongest could tell that Feng Lengyue maintained the upper hand, continuously suppressing both the Blood Demon Sect leader and the Yin Sha Clan chief.

“I’m curious—who owns this Sky Arena?” Fang Lang raised an eyebrow.

That was a compliment of sorts. Xu Miao smiled silently, gesturing politely to lead Lord Qin Wuye to the conference room. Inside, Xu Ya and Ouyang Ziyuan were present; Ouyang Ziyuan observed Xu Ya’s new paintings, occasionally offering suggestions.

“After transforming into a serpent, I drew a map of the Black Tide Continent for the Grand Lord... He seemed particularly concerned about one region,” Harolfson said.

Yet the image of a hero saving everyone in their time of peril was deeply etched into the minds of the four. This hero even had a helicopter—it was he who had sent Jiang Chuchu back.

Though the EBC sat at an elevation of 5,300 meters, the climate was not especially cold. In March, daytime temperatures were decent under sunlight, but nights would plummet to freezing or below.

His choice was wise—since the treasure had been damaged, it was better to seize the opportunity and break the stalemate; a pair of half-step Star Overlords could instantly slay a True Immortal.

Old Sun was still able to keep his cool, suppressing his thoughts as he carefully flipped through the stack of documents one by one... Meanwhile, Yang Xiaoyi, no longer reserved, took the papers from her husband’s hand and examined them.

Even some powerful news agencies dispatched helicopters to circle above the Hongwei Martial Arts Hall.

He added, “The power of the Sky Mending Divine Stone and the Earth-Rending Immortal Vine has been nearly exhausted through repeated use, and the Blue Scythe ruthlessly drained them further for refining the Demonic Mind Pearl.”

After many years, although the underworld also possessed spiritual energy, most ancient formations no longer functioned properly. Zhang Kui effortlessly broke through, waving his hand as a massive bronze door thunderously opened amid dust.

Her heart leapt into her throat, preparing to try once more, when Gu Zicheng suddenly flipped over, shifting the pocket holding the phone beneath him.

Originally rosy cells transformed continuously into translucent hues, resembling precious gems imbued with divine light, undergoing metamorphosis and transcendence.

Even stranger, it was not until more than a decade later, in 2018, that the leader of the Truth Society—imprisoned for over twenty years—was finally tried and executed.

But suddenly one day, the table held not only bran but an array of delicious delicacies—mountain and sea treasures.

Lusheng stamped his foot in anger. “This useless fool is more harmful than helpful, utterly idiotic!” After saying this, he slammed the harpoon onto the stage and hurriedly left.

Fully aware of this, Lei Heng restrained his fury, while Yaoyue coldly watched Chu Yang; all issued a warning to him.

Chu Xin was reincarnated and returned to the Seventh Continent of the Big Dipper, then Nie Canghan also arrived there, even proposing marriage to Bai Li Yu of the Bai Li family—could these events be connected?

Although Sikong Zhengqing’s sword strikes were rapid, the black-clad man moved like weightless dandelion fluff, drifting unpredictably along the sword’s arc, never letting the blade graze his cloak.

“What? Such a sword truly exists in this world?” Mo Hong was terrified, retreating hastily; his spirit shaken, he lost all his fearsome presence.

The coachman was called Zuo Za. His family had once been wealthy, but when Zuo Za was just over ten, misfortune struck—his parents died in succession, leaving him orphaned and alone before being fostered by a distant uncle’s family for five years.

Dugu Huai understood this, then realized something else: before leaving Xianle Palace, he heard the Holy Empress say she intended to plant a vast plum orchard here—a clever ruse to mislead outsiders.

Yu Yongxin said she had been searching everywhere for her, and now she had appeared. Perfect timing; her deceitful behavior would have to be confronted.

Hua Qingyan poked Hua Qingrong’s waist again, this time with more force, causing Hua Qingrong to squirm with ticklish laughter, nearly bursting out laughing.
