Chapter 105: The Roc Becomes an Apprentice, Qiao Kui Joins the Dao

Mount Cangming.

Gazing at the majestic Golden-Winged Roc before him, Jiang Shu toyed with his six-winged flying knives, a playful smile curling on his lips.

“You’re daring indeed. Aren’t you afraid that I, the Sovereign, might refine you as well? After all, your body, tempered through countless trials, makes excellent material for forging swords.”

The True Lord Roc smiled faintly. “Since I dared to come alone, I have long anticipated all possible consequences. Your Majesty need not use such words to intimidate me.”

Jiuyin’s expression was unreadable, but at last, the corners of her lovely lips lifted slightly, and her dark, gleaming eyes turned toward the entrance.

Could it be that strange dream? Though it seldom visited her, Tian Tian’s intuition whispered that the dream might be directly connected to the changes now occurring within her.

When Gu Xiaoxiao spoke, laughter erupted among the group. None had expected her to be so witty. Judging by her appearance and attire, she seemed the kind who cared deeply for her image—typically aloof and reserved—but now it was clear she was quite approachable.

Hearing the father-in-law’s words, Zhang Anruan obediently took her seat, yet the emotions flickering in her eyes betrayed her lingering discontent.

Dark mist swirled as the spear solidified in Mo Tianli’s grasp. With man and weapon unified, he lunged toward Su Ruoshui’s brow.

Jiang Kechu was downstairs by the carriage, speaking softly on the phone. Seeing them descend, he whispered, “I’ll handle it when I return,” then ended the call.

Rumors spread that Ning Qianqian had openly betrayed her lover, bringing her paramours home even before Yun Yang’s body had grown cold.

“Inform Marshal Ayu immediately of the situation here and have him devise a plan!” Yuan Hong commanded.

Since the founding of the Self-Enchanting Demon Sect, Su Ruoshui had harnessed the power of formations to channel subterranean fire here, making this place her secluded refuge for alchemy and cultivation.

A fiery dragon approached Crescent Moon Lake from the shore—a rescue party, no doubt. Unfortunately, they were too far to board the boat.

Listening to Chen Li recount the events coldly, Yao Tie stared blankly at the scabbed wound forming a thin line on Bai Yi’s left shoulder, biting his lip in silence.

Though the exact power of the demon energy ring remained uncertain, its ability to condense demonic power was unquestionable. Combined with the Flame Soul Core or by extracting the source crystal, crafting several top-tier or superior talismans would be a simple matter—no need to be so stingy.

That colossal python overlooked the assembled beasts below from its high platform as if it were an emperor receiving the homage of subjects.

Next, the war general Po Jun would return to Earth. Just as every warrior’s time was limited, Po Jun’s return was for a top-secret mission.

Du Meng walked slowly through the forest along the dirt path, the clinking of his waist bells ringing clearly in the stillness, making the silence all the more pronounced. Strangely, not a single insect, beast, or bird could be heard—a phenomenon utterly unnatural.

“That’s wonderful. None of us want Xilanos to be suspected over trivial matters. If he continues to study diligently, he may become one of the most outstanding students in Red Falcon Academy’s history,” Rost revealed a look of relief.

The River Crossing Immortal Boat’s inaction was indeed their fault, yet Ye Feng understood the circumstances well enough not to pursue the matter further.

Fierce battle raged outside. Although the array surrounding the mountain had been breached multiple times by the skeletal warriors, as long as the innermost formation remained active, everyone inside was safe.

“Much obliged! Your mastery of Confucian arts truly astonishes me!” Lian Sheng bowed respectfully.

Harnessing his internal primal force to establish a foundation, Yang Chong pressed his hands to his back again, channeling a continuous stream of energy into himself. The grayish glow representing his primal force shimmered faintly, casting an eerie light within the subtly red-lit magma cave.
