《I Am Overlord》Chapter 639: Eager to Save
Advertisement
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Xiang Shaoyun was getting impatient with waiting around. Through his senses, he confirmed that Yu Lin was being monitored. It was likely that Yu Lin had incurred suspicion. Zhu Changchuang had also recovered, and he had demanded that Yu Lin be killed. He even said that if nobody was willing to do that here, he would report it to Di Lin.
As someone on the Dragon Phoenix List, Zhu Changchuang was someone with extraordinary talent. A person like him would mature into a Heaven Battling Realm expert at the very least.
Thus, Winter Frost and Summer Flame could not afford to treat him like a regular junior. They wouldn't have allowed him free reign over Lady Shura otherwise. The only person acting weird was Yu Lin, the one who had created a fuss. In truth, Yu Lin wasn't at all important to them, but now was not the time to kill him.
"I will give you a satisfactory answer when this is over," promised Summer Flame to Zhu Changchuang.
"Thank you, Elder Summer. We can't spare him easily!" Zhu Changchuang said.
"It has been two days, and Xiang Shaoyun should be here already. Has he changed his mind after finding out that this is a trap?" Winter Frost was getting impatient.
"That kid is quite smart, so he must have guessed the truth. If he's not coming, what should we do?" Summer Flame asked.
"I don't think so. My subordinate told me that he is on his way," Zhu Changchuang said.
"Hmph. If you're in his position and know that this is a trap, will you still come and throw your life away?" Winter Frost snorted coldly.
An awkward look covered Zhu Changchuang's face as he asked, "What should we do, then? Why don't you let me deal with the girl? We have no other uses for her anyway."

"Lust is like a knife hanging above your head. Looks like you have yet to understand that," said Summer Flame in a displeased manner. "You can take the girl away, but make sure to kill her before the day ends."
"Thank you, Elder Summer. I will definitely do so," said Zhu Changchuang in joy.
Still harboring the same evil intentions, Zhu Changchuang rushed toward Lady Shura. These days, Lady Shura's strength was completely sealed. She was completely helpless and had no way of escaping.
"Come with me. Today is the day you die regardless of whether Xiang Shaoyun is coming or not," said Zhu Changchuang as he dragged Lady Shura away after freeing her from the ropes binding her. He even shot Yu Lin a provocative look, as if challenging him to do something about this.
Yu Lin wanted to help, but with the two Sovereigns around, there was nothing he could do. Xiang Shaoyun lost his patience, seeing Zhu Changchuang's actions.
Screw it! I must keep Lady Shura safe! Xiang Shaoyun decided as he summoned the nether prison devil puppet and sent it flying toward Lady Shura.
As for himself, he went invisible as he followed the puppet. The moment Xiang Shaoyun moved, Winter Frost and Summer Flame detected some changes in their surroundings. However, they had only sensed the puppet and had not discovered Xiang Shaoyun.
"Let me deal with the puppet," said Winter Frost as he shot toward the puppet. He palmed the air before him repeatedly, sending forth a wave of frost energy that froze up the puppet.
As for Summer Flame, he spoke to Zhu Changchuang through voice transmission, "Xiang Shaoyun is here. Do as you see fit."
Zhu Changchuang sneered, "It's even better that he's here. He will personally witness me humiliate his woman before he dies."

He then tore Lady Shura's clothes apart with a look of lust on his face.
Despairing, Lady Shura said, "Farewell, Shaoyun."
She was prepared to die. Just as she was about to bite her tongue and kill herself, Zhu Changchuang's wail rang out. On the arm he used to tear Lady Shura's clothes, a tiny silver snake had appeared, severing the arm with a single bite. With a whip of the snake's tail, Zhu Changchuang was sent flying. Summer Flame had been concentrating on Lady Shura, as he knew Xiang Shaoyun would come prepared.
Instantly, Summer Flame's power wrapped around Lady Shura and the snake as he shouted, "Little bastard, you think you can save them? How naive!"
He then slammed a palm at Lady Shura and Money. The palm was powerful enough to flatten a mountain. It was clear Summer Flame wasn't planning to spare them. It was at this moment that Yu Lin suddenly erupted with all his strength before charging Summer Flame. When a peak Emperor fought with his life on the line, he could still deal a considerable amount of damage.
With a frown, Summer Flame attacked Yu Lin with his other hand. At the moment of distraction, Xiang Shaoyun released his Nether Soul Domain and pulled both Lady Shura and Money in, making them disappear from where they were.
Bang!
As for Yu Lin, Summer Flame's attack crushed his entire body, and the Sovereign's other attack landed on the ground, blasting open a massive crater. Just the attack's shockwave almost shattered Xiang Shaoyun’s Nether Soul Domain. Fortunately, he had entered the Emperor Realm, allowing his filthless soul to reach the level of a Sovereign. That was how his Nether Soul Domain had barely survived.
Even so, the shockwave had hit him as well, making it harder for him to remain invisible. His talent of invisibility was powered by his bloodline and astral energy. The shockwave had damaged his Nether Soul Domain, causing his filthless soul to suffer and his talent of invisibility to weaken.
"Lady Shura, remove your willpower resistance and allow me to summon you in," said Xiang Shaoyun through voice transmission.
Lady Shura was moved that Xiang Shaoyun had really come for her. She did as told and found herself appearing in an indescribable space. She had no idea what place it was, but she knew it was Xiang Shaoyun's doing.
Money's voice rang out, "This is my boss's astral cosmos sea. Don't worry, sister-in-law."
"This is Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea? How did we even come in?" asked Lady Shura in confusion. She was not someone who knew nothing, and she had never heard of an astral cosmos sea capable of storing a living person.
"I don't know. You might need to ask my boss about it. Oh, the nine-colored fog here is very good for us. You can absorb some of it when you're free."
He then ignored Lady Shura and started absorbing the nine-colored fog around him. Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun's invisibility was finally removed, fully revealing himself before his enemies.

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.

Nowhere Stars
For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been preyed upon by Harbingers, living nightmares which devour dreams and passions and souls, and defended by Keepers. These children alone hold the gift of magic, the wild and wondrous ability to impose emotions over reality and empower their frail bodies with the splendor of their souls. Under their protection, humanity was able to survive and thrive. While modern Keepers have come to enjoy a social position somewhere between celebrities and religious idols, very few accept the mantle simply to be a hero. The Messengers of the Goddess Claiasya, spirits charged with awakening the magic in suitable souls, promise that Keepers who consume and purify enough Harbingers will obtain the power to change themselves or the world in nearly any way they wish. It’s for this purpose that Liadain Shiel, a young girl born terminally ill, throws herself into life as a Keeper when her opportunity comes, hoping against hope to rewrite her fate and save her life while she still can. But magic wants its wielders to grow and change, not simply continue living, and the secrets swimming beneath the sea and behind the sky have lives and designs of their own. Nowhere Stars is an ongoing fantasy-horror web novel about traumacore magical girls, nightmares clothed in ribbons and lace, alienation from reality, and broken children twisting the world into whatever shape they must to make their dreams come true. This is a mirror of Nowhere Stars' home site, located here. Updates will be posted at the same time, currently once a week on Wednesdays. Support Nowhere Stars on Top Web Fiction here!
