Chapter 156: The Test of Interests!

Watching the man and the child walk away, Jiang Bing finally snapped back to reality, standing where he was.

"Damn it, I can’t believe I just stood here like a fool, watching that man read Dragon Clan for an entire hour."

Just then, perhaps prompted by the arrival of the man and the child, this corner of the bookstore housing Dragon Clan suddenly saw an influx of customers. Jiang Bing guessed that those who had finished purchasing Jade Dynasty finally had the time to browse other books.

The tablet hit the water and dissolved completely in a mere ten seconds. Tan Yujia picked up the glass, swirled it to ensure it was mixed, then returned it to its original spot. He moved back to his own seat and waited quietly for Huang Qin’s return, acting as if nothing had happened at all.

Qian Qingxi’s radiant, flower-like smile caused the man’s Adam’s apple to bob instinctively; that uncontrollable sensation washed over him once again.

Su Zhiyao’s momentary lapse in concentration allowed Granny Icewind to shift her twin blades horizontally, catching Su Zhiyao’s immortal sword. The left blade swiped diagonally upward toward Su Zhiyao’s waist, threatening to disembowel her in an instant.

The moment Yang Zhantian spoke, Ye Feng sensed danger closing in. He immediately crossed his twin swords behind his back and lunged forward. Just as he leaped, a metallic clang rang out, and Ye Feng was sent flying by the force of the strike.

"I, I haven’t washed my feet yet," Xia Han said, feeling rather embarrassed. She had been walking all day and was covered in sweat. Though her feet didn't smell particularly bad, there was still a hint of odor, and being someone who prized cleanliness, she felt quite self-conscious.

"I do not know. Sealing you is the destiny of the Seven Absolute Killing Weapons. Though eras have passed, that destiny remains. We have no choice," the voice of radiance replied calmly, as if detached from life and death.

This situation caught Zhuge Liang’s attention. With the situation so critical, he did not want to see all his previous efforts go to waste. However, Zhuge Liang was destined to be disappointed; the horn sounded once more, and he realized at once that his position had been compromised.

The third divine artifact was a sword. It was long and slender, with a red line running down the center, giving it a sinister, cold, and serpentine appearance.

No one knew that this alliance would cause countless top-tier powers to sink into oblivion and lead to the total extinction of numerous races. Many historians would later mark this day as a pivotal moment when the great Wise Emperor solidified his status as the first among the Five Emperors and Thirteen Empresses.

A burly man, towering a hundred feet tall, appeared amidst terrifying flashes of divine lightning that illuminated the heavens and earth. It was Monde, the Primordial God of Lightning, whom Xing Fei had rescued.

"What is it? Are bio-ghosts coming?" Su Ling was taken aback, her expression turning tense as she looked at Sun Yan’s grim face.

In the City of Never-Setting Sun, there were fewer than twenty people qualified to enter the Twilight Temple, and Caesar was one of them. Although he had never revealed his true strength to the Norlanders, his status as a Grand Constructor was enough to secure him a seat.

"I believe this was the work of one of my students," Yan Xinyue said, a mix of shame and pride in her voice. Shame, because she hadn't fully supported Chen Ling, nearly costing a life; pride, because the doctor who had proposed the correct diagnosis was her student.

Knowing Yang Fan was joking, the two sisters nearby were surprised he would speak that way. But the key was that their grandfather was beaming, clearly fond of this fellow, Yang Fan. Lu Yunshang was happy to see it.

His words certainly gave one pause. Xu Yang looked at him with a half-smile, wondering what game the man was playing. Did he really not know and wanted to test him, or did he know the answer and ask only to embarrass him if he couldn't respond? This man certainly wasn't very broad-minded.
