Chapter 40

Beneath the mounds of earth, tangible skeletons began to appear—two of them, both remains of demon beasts.

Meanwhile, a television station rebroadcast the video of Yun Yin from that time. The clip had already garnered three million views and was being clicked at an astonishing, exponential rate.

"If only A-Xi were half as steady, calm, and resourceful as Commissioner Liang, I would be able to hand over the Shangguan family legacy to her with peace of mind!" Shangguan Yuanlong’s voice had regained a sliver of strength.

When Long Xiaofeng heard this, he finally grasped the truth: Fire Kirin’s true intention was simply to drive him away, to prevent him from remaining there with the two of them any longer. Long Xiaofeng was no fool; if he couldn't discern that at such a moment, he would truly be unworthy of being the Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom.

If a caster were to use a 9th-tier Wish spell to inquire about the future trajectory of the Klein plane, the immense power of destiny would instantly drain the life force of every caster participating in the divination, offering no information in return.

He was not someone raised by the sea; although he knew how to swim, he did not understand what changes in the sea’s weather signified. Furthermore, after the global nuclear explosions, weather patterns worldwide had become anomalous.

Despite reaching this conclusion, Qiao Yan’s entire focus remained on Yuchi Hong. She stole a glance at him, only to find him looking down at her, his eyes gleaming and his expression peculiar.

Leng Manyan etched Ji Yao's words deep into her heart. She would fulfill this promise and transform this place into a city of miracles.

"Mistress Lin." The thin, indifferent voice, carrying a trace of gentle amusement, sounded like a thunderclap to Lin Jingjing’s ears.

Wooden dolls are typically the first objects that aspiring puppeteer mages experiment with during their initial stages of training.

"Matters of the heart are hard to explain! There are many bad men out there now; they are the best at deception! And they especially love to trick people like you—good-looking and naive!" Qiao Lin warned, trying to scare Qiao Xi with a serious air.

Duo Ya, the doll with black eyes, acted with incredible speed. Bullets from her dual pistols struck Kaneki’s head and heart with pinpoint accuracy, but they only sparked against his skin, unable to penetrate.

This time, he pushed the door open and walked straight in. "Is the medicine not working?" he asked himself.

Like a Pluto emerging from the darkness, his thick aura of slaughter, tinged with the scent of blood, made it impossible for anyone to get close to him.

The gravity in An Ruo’s tone caused Cheng Min to fall silent. She did not speak immediately, waiting for a long while before she finally opened her mouth.

"Haha, alright. If the time comes and I don’t know what major to choose, I’ll just study finance along with you. But it’s a deal—you have to help me keep up! I’ve never had any exposure to this field," Xu Han said. This was not a bad strategy, as finance was still a highly lucrative field.

An Ruo and the others dodged the attacks from the people in the vehicle, all four of them firing back at the off-road car.

Since returning to the country, Jin Chengxuan had told her he loved her countless times, yet An Ruo had always harbored a sliver of doubt.

As it turned out, before the matter could reach Old Master Su’s ears, Old Mrs. Su had already arrived at the door with that other old woman.

A strange sensation rose within Youming Hongxiao’s heart, as if his heart had been twisted together and then melted on its own.

Liu Xiaomeng pretended not to care, but her body leaned in instantly, pressing tightly against the other side of the phone.

Ever since the ministers left one after another, Jing Tingge had been watching a single spot. Even though everyone had nearly arrived, she still did not see the new Prime Minister of the Chonghe Dynasty, the man handpicked by Murong Xun: Lu Xian.

Liu He also stepped down from the city walls; he had finally found a foothold at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although the neighborhood was quite dangerous and the situation next door was a chaotic mess, how could he succeed without a little pressure? The officials went back to prepare their belongings; everyone except Zhen Yao was leaving.

The latter was quite annoyed by this for a while, suggesting several times that she go sleep in the teacher's room, as she also suffered from poor sleep and required relative darkness and absolute silence.

Located at the pinnacle of Fish-Man Island, for an island deep under the sea, the sunlight brought by the Sunlight Tree Eve was essential. The higher one went, the brighter the sun; naturally, the higher one’s status in the Fish-Man Kingdom. As the King of the Fish-Men, King Neptune’s palace was, of course, at the highest point of the island.

A young master of a noble house, on the roof at midnight—perhaps he was secretly practicing martial arts. Jing Tingge felt a flicker of amusement and gave him a knowing look.

After all, most of these disciples came from the Upper Council or the Council of Elders, so they naturally were not short on things like spirit liquid.

He could not even recall the faces of Wang Si, Wang Wu, and the others. For these people he had overlooked and forgotten, it was now too late to try to remember them, even if he tried his hardest.

Deep within the cavern, beneath a ten-thousand-foot abyss, lay a massive, gaping chasm. The trench was so deep that the bottom was invisible, as mysterious as if it connected to the depths of hell. At that moment, a soft sound of surprise emanated from the void of darkness, as if the entity were astonished that Lian Haiping could break free from its summons.

Although Ye Chen had always admitted that she hadn't done this well or that part effectively, regardless of how one looked at it... she still bore some responsibility.

But after Su Le said those words in her drunken state, Qiu Ya gave a look to the men nearby, and they swarmed over, grabbing Su Le.

It would be easy to stop Qiao Sen from continuing down that path; all it would take was for him to say four words: "Take Qiao Sen down." Once he did, Qiao Sen would have no chance to proceed any further.

Lin Bo’s expression shifted slightly, and he looked at him with a solemn gaze. Based on his understanding, the young man would not do something self-destructive. If he didn't have a certain degree of confidence, he wouldn't speak such words. Did his statement not imply that he now possessed the strength to contend with Qingyun Peak?

Su Le gave a few sharp rebukes, stating that she and Qiao Yue had no real relationship, but seeing the look on Shang Zixi’s face, it was clear she hadn't listened to a word.

After leaving Yousha Town, Lin Yue headed to Fan Town. Having observed the geographical environment around the towns currently held by the Yuan-Yan Allied Forces, he felt that Fan Town was the most suitable location to establish a base.

Possessing such a powerful lineup, combined with the divine beasts and god-tier weapons he held, it had to be said that he was very strong now. Strong enough to make even him feel a tinge of fear. Even the Li Sect was no longer a match for him, even with their supreme powerhouse at the True Spirit Realm.
