Chapter 94: Hidden Away

"You actually survived."

Shen Jin’s faint unease was instantly explained the moment he laid eyes on Jiang Jiuyue.

She was alive.

She had managed to survive even after being poisoned with crane’s crest, and Shen Jin recalled the subsequent disappearance of Fang Zhixun. Of course, with the help of a divine physician, her survival was not so unexpected.

“You…”

No wonder Dubra had noticed something was amiss even before their figures appeared. A man worthy of the title ‘Saint Ten’.

Those burly and ferocious beasts bared their menacing fangs, scrambling over each other as they charged towards them. As the beasts surged forward, the trees lining their path were trampled down in waves, like breakers on the shore.

He appeared to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with three thousand strands of black hair, half tied, half loose. His slender and well-proportioned figure was draped in a flowing robe of red with black dragon and cloud patterns. As he walked, he carried three parts elegance and seven parts wild abandon.

Wang Chen was clearly in high spirits, his face beaming with happiness, though for some reason he seemed a bit travel-worn. Upon arrival, he immediately showered Xie Tianxiang with concern, asking her a barrage of questions to see if her injuries had improved.

However, there was almost no resistance. As soon as the Radiant Shield touched the scarlet flames, it instantly disintegrated.

Yet, although Xiao Feng had been watching from the sidelines, he still had no idea how they managed to harmonize their internal strength with the elixirs and blood energy, adjusting all three as one.

“A conspiracy? What do you mean by that? Could it be…” Although Xiao Feng could tell that this matter had been a trap laid well in advance, for some reason, hearing the word “conspiracy” from Mihoko Fujiwara made his heart jolt.

Origami Kite's calm face flickered with a hint of surprise—subtle, and quickly gone.

As Wang Chen’s cultivation grew, his punch was powerful enough to level a mountain—its might simply unparalleled. With a muffled bang, Wang Chen felt himself strike something soft, cool, and sticky.

“Haha, well done! You’re the most manly man I’ve ever met! All right, I lost the first round! I accept defeat gracefully!” She said this as she truly stood up before all, right in the public eye.

This was not only the city of music, but also a city of government affairs. Mark Bain and his companions, wanting to leave the country—from their homeland, Letrad, to the Principality of Peninsola—had to go through official procedures here in Pingel.

The footsteps of Ling Xiao and his two companions gradually faded into the distance, until they could no longer be heard. Minutes later, footsteps sounded again from the corridor, drawing closer, finally stopping at the door.

The phone in her hand fell to the floor. Luo Tianya asked suspiciously, “Zi Qi, you heard everything?” She didn't know when he’d begun standing behind her, but his expression showed he’d caught every word.

Were it not for this record, he might not even know who Otomu Hayamura was. The era of the Six Paths Sage was too distant for them, bordering on myth.

Just then, the phone rang again—it turned out to be Octopus calling. Damn, I’d forgotten to return his call.

In their team, the big-bearded Fred, who had remained silent until now, rushed to follow the captain’s orders. He pulled a bottle of green liquid from his belt, drank it, pressed his hands together, and muttered strange incantations. Instantly, his palms glowed with emerald light. Once the spell was finished, he slammed both hands down.

The cold beauty nodded in sudden understanding. I, too, had been thinking about these things all along. She didn’t disturb me, just sat beside me in quiet companionship. That silent presence brought immense comfort.

Jiang Lan replied casually, not bothering with him, while Wang Locke, after smoothing his hair, immediately began his pursuit of romance. Unexpectedly, his first target turned out to be Wu Xue, who was seated there cleaning her firearm, exuding both maturity and sensual charm.
