Chapter 95: Jack, You Are Not Human!
After falling into traps several times and suffering Jack’s betrayal, Shan’s emotions finally crumbled. Since Jack left, she had been hugging her knees, hiding behind a huge boulder, quietly shedding tears. The others sighed and groaned in dismay.
At that moment, a startled cry rose from the group.
“Kerr, your neck!”
The rest of the expedition paused, exchanging bewildered glances, then all turned to look at Kerr. There, clinging to his neck, was an enormous dark brown leech.
“We’re not just going to sit here and watch those scoundrels desecrate our sacred ground!” Garrosh roared for what felt like the hundredth time during the meeting.
“We’ve arrived.” Illidan descended from the sky, his leathery wings stirring up a swirl of dust, making Benny frown in annoyance. The man seemed to flaunt his ability to fly, deliberately refusing to walk and instead swooping down like a bat.
He quickly reached out to accept the business card handed to him by Zhou Tian. Glancing at it, he saw only a name and a string of numbers—no other information at all.
Though a ghost’s tongue was just as insubstantial, He Qing, putting herself in those shoes, shuddered at the thought of a wet, sticky human tongue.
She gazed speechlessly at the two of them, and under the burning stares of the others, she reached out and took the conch from Wang Lei’s arms.
For more than five centuries, she had trained tirelessly in the Spider Cave, all for the day when she could find Sun Wukong and take her revenge.
“In my opinion, the Bureau of Religious Affairs truly ought to step in. These temples and monasteries are raking in fortunes—just look at this one; who knows how much it cost to build?” Director Zhang continued.
Although Ye Fan never fancied himself a saint, if he could do anything for this world of Immortal Execution within his power, he would.
At Ocean University, Wen Ranfan stared conflicted at her phone, her delicate face tinged with hesitation. Several times she considered dialing that number, but always gave up in the end.
Li Caiyi, disregarding the thick blanket of snow, suddenly knelt on the ground and performed a full, prostrate bow.
From the tattooed bracelet, she took out golden needles and carefully inserted them into her mother’s key acupoints, twisting them with a unique technique.
Han Yingdi closed the account book and pinched the bridge of her nose. Glancing inadvertently toward the door, her gaze froze.
Having chosen five locations, I instructed them to each take a flag and plant it in a concealed spot, following the generative order of the Five Elements. Then Old Wei produced his demon-revealing mirror and his bagua stick, slinging one across his chest and the other across his back. The sight was so odd it drew laughter from all around.
The young man was strikingly handsome, his face set with pride, his entire being surrounded by wild, powerful energy. Many darkened Dao Ancestors were thrown back by his aura before they could even approach him.
The so-called Splendid Banquet, as the name suggests, was a kind of grand feast; yet the real emphasis lay in the words “splendid reward.”
It was now evening—the time when people, having toiled all day, relaxed and ate; also the perfect hour for officials and the elite to amuse themselves. Thus, the restaurant was packed, guests raising their voices in animated conversation, toasting and laughing, the atmosphere electric.
He charged forward, stamping the ground—an immense hand, as vast as a mountain, crashed down from the sky, making the very air tremble. The force was terrifying, like a hundred thousand volcanoes erupting at once.
At this moment, Lin Fan felt as if his body were aflame, wracked with pain. Yet instead of fleeing, he called upon the Phoenix blood in his veins, attuning himself to the fire element to ease the agony.
Just then, the colossal hand in the sky finally slammed down. Instantly, the earth sank, mountains rocked, the blow of a Celestial Sovereign—overwhelming in its might.
This was the only way to reach the CUP headquarters. Back when Zhang Wei and Zhao Yan set off for the unnamed island and the CUP headquarters, this was where they boarded the ship.
