Chapter 159: The Reappearance of the Temple

Dao Sansheng walked slowly ahead toward a grocery store located at the street corner. Seeing the lush grass growing vigorously in front of the door, Dao Sansheng felt a fleeting moment of doubt about Luming Suo's words, but he still stepped inside.

Just as he crossed the threshold, a loud crash echoed from behind. Dao Sansheng turned his head...

"Squeak, squeak..." The Owl Roc let out two triumphant cries. Afterward, the Owl Roc retracted its red protective barrier, and sharp spikes emerged on its body once more. These were the very same spikes Xiao Yan had just witnessed. By consuming the magical beasts' core, the Owl Roc had actually managed to acquire their skills—a development that came as a complete surprise to Xiao Yan.

Later on, Nie Rong, the elder sister of Nie Zheng, heard that an assassin had murdered the Chancellor of Han and had his corpse exposed in the streets. Suspecting that this might have been the deed of her younger brother Nie Zheng, Nie Rong immediately set off for the State of Han to investigate the truth.

Xia Haitong stared at him in a daze. Though she had grown accustomed to his sharpness, this sudden scare still startled her.

Bosh had already been classified by the main army as being in league with the assassins—a point that the regular army officers of the Principality of Labrenz stationed at the rear had repeatedly confirmed. At this moment, he certainly did not want to arouse the main army's suspicion due to any clumsy performance on his part, which would simply not be worth the risk.

This was what Si Huzi was thinking at the time. As he sat inside Song Daunfu's Audi A6, reminiscing about the tender moments of the past, the first thing that caught his eye upon stepping out of the car was a line of bold characters.

Everyone's heart trembled upon hearing this, and only then did they realize that the child in Zhao Gan's arms was actually Lu Zhen's son.

"Imperial Noble Consort Tian, Kunxing is a noble princess, and Lady Tian has offered to perform a dance for the princess to celebrate her full-month milestone. How could that possibly be considered a violation of protocol?" Seeing her hesitate and make excuses—which clearly showed suspicion toward her previous words—the Empress pressed her step by step.

Why? To seize the Demon King? Matters surely could not be that simple. Guo Lin decided to close in and get to the bottom of it.

Ever since then, the relationship between the two families had only grown more tense, because Dongfang Jing remained firmly convinced that had it not been for Zhu Xiaoya, Dongfang Yan would never have died.

Fang Tongjiang kept his eyes fixed throughout on the combat between Qiao Yuhan and Zou Fan. A powerhouse naturally possessed the dignity of a powerhouse, and he did not make a move alongside Qiao Yuhan. Seeing that all his subordinates had been annihilated and he was left entirely alone, Zou Fan lost his resolve to fight Qiao Yuhan and suddenly transformed into a streak of light, retreating swiftly.

Inside the grand hall of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, voices were buzzing with noise and excitement. However, as those two figures in red stepped inside, the noise gradually subsided. All gazes fell upon the person who walked in slowly.

Chu Feng knew that every single cube symbolized a "Heaven-Fighting Hall," and different "Heaven-Fighting Halls" possessed distinct specialized warfare traits. What he needed to do right now was to make a choice: which one should he activate here?

When these professional buildings were under construction, they were extremely fragile. While they might not collapse at the slightest touch, they could hardly withstand more than a few attacks, let alone assaults amplified by professional structures.

At this moment, he was immersed in a state of selflessness. While treating the wounded, he was also continuously honing his own skills.

"I miss you." No longer willing to overthink, I gently held her in my arms, inhaling the familiar fragrance of her hair. It was a comforting scent, and once again, my heart found a place to belong, no longer wandering adrift.

"Have you checked the surroundings? Just how deep is this abyss?" Gu Yaocheng frowned, and suddenly asked in a cold voice.

Balida, who had earlier been rescued from the gates of death by Chu Feng, now stood in a daze beside his son's corpse, looking utterly soul-broken. All his clansmen had perished in this invasion, leaving him entirely alone.

"It was meant for you in the first place. You can go and tour the city. It can be considered one of the few safe havens within this battlefield. I still have matters to attend to." Norton waved his hand and smiled indifferently. Since this was originally intended as remuneration for exchanging the energy core, how the other party chose to distribute it was naturally none of his concern.
