Chapter 33: Outmaneuvered
Wei Yang stood quietly beneath the apricot tree, draped in a moon-white silk dress embroidered with subtle patterns. The dappled afternoon sunlight filtered through the layers of branches, dancing upon her exquisite face, the tips of her hair, and the smile blooming in her eyes.
Watching her, Zhao Wenqian felt a fire of jealousy rising within, as if it would consume her entirely. She had never imagined that such a day would come...
"Oh, Beilei and the others left in such a hurry, they didn't leave me any contact information, and I have no idea how to reach her." The old grandmother accepted Wang Hao's apology, yet the thought that she could not help him find Beilei filled her with sudden remorse.
In an instant, several ninjas utilized stealth techniques to surround Da Hei. Flashes of blades emerged from the wind, weaving into a lethal net that descended upon him with ruthless precision.
"Merge!" Wang Hao narrowed his eyes, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body.
Suddenly, the first floor of the Yunxuan Pavilion erupted into a clamor, with everyone filled with anticipation, guessing what the hidden treasure might be.
She did not know who that person was. Yet, for the spirit of sacrificing oneself for the happiness of others, and the perseverance to fight until the very last breath regardless of the enemy's strength, he was worthy of Chen Yujiao’s bow.
Suddenly, before Wang Hao and his companions could react, Regirock unleashed a startling surge of electricity through the ground, launching an attack against them.
Situ Jian felt a tremor in his heart. Only someone at his level understood just how unattainable the Void Mirror truly was. Despite having reached the peak of the Avatar Realm for decades, he could not guarantee a breakthrough, and Liu Hao's arrogant claims left him feeling deeply disappointed.
It was no longer a matter of them begging others to join the competition; now, people were crying and pleading for a chance to sign up.
Watching the five-colored light fly toward him, Jiang Yikang did not move a muscle, merely watching calmly as the radiance drew closer.
"Come, let us raise a glass to the courage and righteousness of Mr. Nameless." Jill picked up her drink, skillfully diffusing the awkwardness.
Kneeling on the ground, I remained silent, shedding tears in secret. This feeling of being misunderstood by everyone was truly unbearable and agonizing. Most of all, I was deeply worried about my father's attitude toward me.
The prestige of the Yun family, in some respects, even surpassed that of the Light and Dark Temples. Everyone knew that both temples possessed God-tier powerhouses who could descend at any moment, yet in terms of raw strength, the Yun family far exceeded them.
She had expected them to fly downward, but Chen Xi steered his sword straight toward the sun. The surrounding temperature soared instantly, and fireballs rained down upon them.
"What kind of mission do you think they are carrying out here?" I asked the tattooed man, sitting down beside him.
Many great masters from once-mighty sects appeared in the Central Province, such as the Human Emperor, who once suppressed several Great Sages single-handedly, and the old man rumored to have stepped into the Half-Emperor realm.
"Forget it, Manager Liang. I will return the four hundred thousand to you, okay? Just give me back the video. Can we just pretend this never happened?" Ever since I had been blinded by greed and tried to use the video to threaten Jiaojiao, it felt as if I had fallen into a trap designed by someone long ago.
The techniques for channeling magic and spiritual power were identical. Her master had once warned her in a dream never to use magic to create talismans, perhaps fearing they would be exploited by evildoers; yet now, it had become her only chance to escape.
"So, it is essentially a life for a life—trading one's own life to grant the other a rebirth, is that it?" I stared at her, stunned.
She picked up the phone and answered. "I have something to take care of. Find a hotel and stay there; I will contact you when I am finished!" She hung up and immediately turned off her phone.
