30 Sealed Fields of Snow

"The old hag?" he exclaimed involuntarily. But the moment the words left his lips, he secretly slapped himself.

The lake was eerily calm; no matter how the mist swirled above the water, it could not stir a single ripple, as if the entire lake had been frozen solid.

Di Jing’s aura faded rapidly, his imposing frame gradually wilting. He stumbled forward a few steps, his knees gave way, and he fell to his knees abruptly, his golden crown rolling away as he did so.

They were all waiting—waiting for those who coveted their points and rankings to deliver themselves to their doorstep. Once they had earned enough points, it would be their turn to go hunting for ranks.

A hundred meters away from Li Hongming, Zijin gathered her internal energy, took an iron rod in her hand, and hurled it straight at him.

"You really are something, actually daring to lie and tell me you missed me, Sam!" Recalling what she had just seen, Mikaela was furious.

I shook my head, feeling as though there were no options left, but I am not the type to sit idly by and wait for death.

The Professor placed his palm on Natasha’s forehead and narrowed his eyes, first carefully scanning Natasha’s brain. The Professor’s psychic power was immense—so immense that he could contact any mutant in any corner of the world, provided, of course, that he used an instrument to amplify his mental reach.

Zhuqing exited the room, her heart still pounding in her chest. Distracted, she even forgot to close the door properly. Catching her breath, she hurried off toward her secret rendezvous with her lover.

While Fenghuo and the others waited quietly for time to pass, from the distant rear came the intermittent sound of wind being broken, and gradually, a few somewhat disheveled figures approached.

"I don't think so. On the contrary, I think it is highly relevant. Therefore, if you truly want to find the killer, I hope you will answer my questions honestly," Huang Jun said.

The old man replied, "No, this is merely my conjecture, but don't you think such a conjecture is quite reasonable?"

To reach such a level in such a short time—how could one not be envious? It is even more monstrous than that freak, Red-Haired.

"For the Yin Illusion Array to remain operational, it not only requires a vast amount of Yin energy but also the reinforcement of a Gravekeeper to continuously spawn new power. The Gravekeeper’s duty is to serve as the eye and the core catalyst of the array," Huang Jun explained.

Those Yin soldiers seemed not to notice them, showing neither hostility nor intent to attack, yet the two felt an extraordinary sense of tension.

"Wow!" Seeing Qian Jie shirtless, Tina gasped and covered her eyes, but her heart-shaped eyes were already peering intently through the gaps between her fingers.

"Li Mi, are you the one looking for death!" Mo Qianqian was irritable after having just vomited violently. Her heart felt empty, her mouth tasted bland, and she was uncomfortable all over; her face was deathly pale.

Having finished his words, he drifted away with effortless grace. Everyone saw only the faint glimmer of light lingering in the air before his shadow vanished completely.

"That's right. The graduation ceremony is almost here, so this old man had to make the trip himself," Zephyr said with a laugh.

"Bastard!" Di Wufang was truly enraged. His eyes bulged like glass marbles, nearly popping out to strike Chu Yun in the face.

"I heard you. Rest assured, Empress Dowager, Yunji will surely get along well with Ke Jiusi," Jiang Yunji replied with a hurried smile.

Ao Zhen, sitting at the head of the table, wore a grim expression. A golden mask covered half his face, and his bewitching silver hair emitted a chilling, metallic sheen that made him impossible to look at directly.

Comparing with others might not feel like much, but compared to her, the difference was far more than just a little.

But this was also a troublesome matter. Unless Qiaomu could kill that "Main God" and transplant this contract onto the Time and Space Tavern, it was almost impossible for him to restore Su Su to normal.

Just as I was about to eat, there came a sudden, frantic knocking at the door. Hearing the sound, Qu Yanyun blinked, looking at me in confusion. I rushed downstairs to the monitor and realized that the person outside was none other than Sister Hui.

"Alright, I'm going to get some water. I've been walking around, and I'm parched." Wang Jun turned around, walked to his desk in a few steps, picked up his glass, and downed it in one gulp. He set the glass down and sat back in his chair.

Catching a glimpse of her feigned composure, which clearly masked her unease, I changed the subject and put all my gossiping skills to use. With a mix of truth and fabrication, I teased her until she bowed her head in silence, tears welling in her eyes.

Many commanders wanted to pressure the Prince of Ruyang, but the Prince cared nothing for official titles or other such things; it seemed his only goal was to torment Xuanyuan Qing.

She pinched her fingers into an orchid gesture, gently lifting the hem of her skirt, revealing an aura of seductive charm from the inside out.

"I apologize for failing to welcome you, Senior, upon your sudden arrival. I hope you will forgive me. Please, ask whatever you wish, and I shall answer everything I know," the old man said respectfully.

The entire summit of Mount Huashan fell into total silence. Everyone watched the scene in quiet contemplation, their expressions complex.

This was not good news for him. This client seemed like a high-probability buyer, and he hadn't made a sale in a long time. Now that he had finally encountered a potential lead, what if it ended up benefiting Ren Xintong instead?

The Death-Defying Immortal trembled with rage, pointing at Jiang Liuyun and cursing before striking him with a beam of white light.

Chen Lin and Yuan Shu were no longer on the same level in terms of wealth, status, background, or social class. Chen Lin had even considered building a relationship with him to establish his first real connection, and normally, he would never have spoken in such a tone. But this time, Chen Lin was truly furious, a fire he could not suppress.

If Angela killed the Earthling, the world Zett spoke of would fall into chaos because its order would be broken, and Zett might then be erased by Princess Grayly. Celia would never allow such a thing to happen.

"How did this girl end up here?" As he ran, this thought flashed through Yun Chen's mind.

The Path of Winds and Clouds, the emptiness of the void; outside the Lingqing Palace, there was an air of parting.

Sun Yuan grabbed Ilona and, without a moment's hesitation, moved to bring her to her mouth. Seeing that Ilona was about to be devoured, she still showed no reaction, just as Sun Yuan had said—this creature had completely shut off her sight, hearing, smell, and touch.

Wu Xi walked toward the figure. The mist surrounding the person gradually dissipated, but even when Wu Xi reached them, he could only see that the person was wearing a familiar set of clothes; he still could not make out their face.
