Chapter 86 Seizing the Opportunity to Take Over the Body

Yunxi had always consumed very few elixirs, never daring to take anything but the finest quality, for fear of toxins accumulating within her body. As for talismans, she selected only those of third grade or higher to keep; the rest she planned to sell, since she could draw first and second grade talismans herself. The items she could not identify, she intended to take to the Appraisal Pavilion—surely someone there would recognize their worth.

The last thing Yunxi examined was the storage ring gifted to her by that senior. It was an unremarkable white jade band, utterly inconspicuous. Yunxi began to inspect its contents.

Ling Yeying replied, exchanged a few more idle words, then continued to enjoy her journey home.

"Out of the way, all of you! This can’t wait!" Qin Si shoved aside the two bodyguards in front of him, and for the first time, barged into the hospital room without so much as a knock.

The true power of a horror story lies in its repetition—the more one dwells on it, the more fear takes root, and the more the mind spirals, the deeper the terror grows.

"Stop him!" Seeing that the Imperial Teacher had no intention of complying, Lord Yin’s face immediately darkened, his false smile vanishing. With a wave of his hand, a squad of imperial guards stepped forward, unceremoniously twisting the Imperial Teacher’s arms behind his back and binding him.

"From what I see, Zhong Gangqiang has committed quite a few misdeeds! You’re all afraid of him. But he’s human too. From what I know, he loves money above all else—perhaps he isn’t as fearsome as you make him out to be," Liu Cheng said.

Yet Mo Rui, upon meeting those pale blue eyes, first stiffened, then let a knowing smile curve his lips.

The workers weren’t fools. One of them hurriedly took the bag and made for the exit, but before he reached the door, a gust of wind slammed it shut.

Director Li, still smiling, fished out a business card and handed it over. Tang Feng received it with a calm smile, neither humble nor self-satisfied.

He Banyu’s brows furrowed slightly. Now he finally understood—the demon called Xia’er truly sought his death. Had it been a mistake to spare him in the Illusory Forest after all?

"It seems after your sister passed, His Majesty began to show your family special favor," Madam Zhang recalled.

"Alright, since both of you insist, I’ll share my idea. Sister-in-law, you’ve spent time on Gamba Star—do you know about the Mining Rights Ladder Tournament?" Nuzel asked Anqi.

Huo Jue was thoroughly scorned, yet he actually stopped interrupting. In fact, he felt rather pleased—his three-year-old son was quick-witted, able to count smoothly and never missing a beat while talking.

When the fourth chime rang out, Han Kun and Han Sanlei on the other side were struck dumb, staring at me in a daze.

As soon as Hou Li admitted defeat, the crowd erupted in cheers, everyone beginning to celebrate.

Cao Jiang ignored the countless cultivators overhead. Head lowered, tears in his eyes, he murmured softly to himself.

Xuan Ye glanced around, pulled a sheet of talisman paper from his bag, quickly folded it into a paper crane, ignited it, and tossed it onto the bloodstain.

Upon arrival, he saluted the assembled crowd in military fashion, then raised a cup of tea in place of wine to offer a toast. Afterward, he issued a series of orders.

I possess a vast spiritual sea within, supported by surging currents of primordial chaos, which is why I can endure months of endless consumption.

One force feigned an assault on the outskirts of Georgetown to tie down the bulk of the enemy’s troops; another targeted the power station for capture or sabotage; the third set out to rescue the hostages.

The spiritual energy within this spirit stone had already been half depleted, its glow dim and lackluster. Lei Chen, without ceremony, absorbed the remaining energy into his own body, then crushed the stone to powder.

As soon as that voice faded, all the students aboard the cruise ship froze in shock. Even Lu You, Long Xue, and the other two, who had just finished their battle and were wiping blood from themselves, snapped their heads up in astonishment.
