Un, the zombie...... corpse is also the profound Mr.'s domain......’ ‘因此,这太岁社若有旁门左道的修士相助,法门必然是偏向大地谱系的……血肉类法术？嗯,还有僵尸……尸道也是玄君的领域……’ This was the book reads a lot advantage. 这就是书读得多的好处了。 Perhaps the heads of Jupiter society break unable to think with the person secretly, merely is only a name, they exposed the secret 7788. 太岁社的首脑与幕后之人恐怕打破头也想不到,仅仅只是一个名字,他们就将自身隐秘暴露了个七七八八。 ‚......
