Chapter 38

In the span of only a few dozen breaths, Jiang Chen had successfully inscribed a universe-shaking spirit-locking formation onto the pill. In an instant, a terrifying aura erupted, and violet-gold radiance illuminated the entire Primordial Palace.

The attentiveness he had shown the previous night vanished like sand scattered by the wind, revealing its true form today.

I completely lost my mind. With the glass bottle still in my hand, I struck it carelessly, and it slid straight down my arm.

I would never forget Qian Yaya’s expression. When I told her everything at Pizza Hut, that mischievous girl looked as though she had discovered a new continent. Her eyes were not especially large, yet she opened them wide, her mouth falling agape as she stared blankly at me without saying a word for a long while.

After thinking it over, I took out my phone and prepared to send a text. But before I had finished typing, a message suddenly appeared before my eyes, sent from an unfamiliar number.

After witnessing Zhou Zhengming’s ruthlessness, holding these things now gave me the surreal feeling of having crossed into another lifetime.

I could not tell him that every word he had spoken had gone straight to the depths of my heart, leaving me aching with sorrow—even though I understood that prolonged pain was worse than a clean break.

That punch shot straight toward the tribulation clouds in the void. It shattered heaven and earth, and it seemed as though the entire cultivation world had begun to tremble. In the blink of an eye, the enormous phantom fist slammed into the ten-colored tribulation clouds.

“You’re not even a demon. How would you know what a real demon is supposed to look like?” The Vampire Beast’s cheeks flushed crimson.

She suddenly had the strange feeling that the way she and Young Master got along looked remarkably like the relationship between a husband and wife.

Thus, each of the supreme practitioners of that era took control of one, establishing passages as a means of entering and leaving the Great Cultivation Domain.

No wonder everyone thought so. After all, the entire process of Su Yang’s alchemy had been dazzling, but hardly extraordinary.

“Debts from a previous life? It seems that really is the case!” After hearing Gao Lanxing’s words, Taishi Kun fell into a daze. On that torrential rainy night, along that endless road of flight, amid the lake waters shimmering with ripples—what moment, what second, had not been borrowed from fate as a taste of sweetness and happiness?

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Chen Shao said something to his assistant and then left, intending to look for some friends.

“I want you…” Meng Xinghui lowered his voice and whispered into Zhang Wei’s ear. Though his voice was barely audible, the warm breath from his lips instantly melted her heart. She let out a soft moan, her entire body turning into a pool of spring water, limp and devoid of strength.

Kaliya had protested once during that time, wanting to bring her along for some fun. Aila, who had rarely come to the Holy Palace, could only watch Hina depart once more, her eyes filled with resentment.

“Chen Jun, you don’t need to change your principles for my sake. I’ll rely on my own ability during the audition. If I pass, then we can talk about it, all right?” Ham Eun-jung still hoped to earn the opportunity through her own ability rather than by using a back door.

“Then why didn’t you tell me? I could have asked Uncle Jae-seok to send me some snacks. That way, Unnie, you could have seen them too.” As Park Ji-yeon spoke, Chen Shao had already stepped forward and pressed the doorbell.

The car door closed. The Audi’s horn sounded once, and it slowly started down the road, never stopping again.

“My disciple is my responsibility. Whether I discipline him or not is my affair, and none of your concern. You have no right to lecture my disciple.” Li Yan spoke coldly, paying no attention to Nie Tianxing or the others.

Ferdinand gave a slight nod, signaling everyone to take their seats, then turned his gaze toward the middle-aged teacher in charge of the interrogation. The man immediately broke into a cold sweat. His hand, resting on the table, began to tremble faintly, revealing just how nervous he was.

However, when the two discovered that the newly appointed supervisor had come carrying bedding, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The place was still prosperous, certainly, but it had also acquired a certain solemnity and sorrow. After all, not every village or town was as fortunate as the one where Wang Zheng and the others lived.

At this point, Lin Sheng wanted nothing more than to die. Even if his father returned, Lin Sheng would have no face to meet Lin Feng again.

When Bu Jingyun appeared, the city—and everyone in it—was filled with astonishment and delight. They had long since abandoned all hope, because anyone who obtained the peerless sword would certainly remain at Sword-Worshipping Manor for the time being in order to protect it.

Although it stood beside the border battlefield, it had never endured the baptism of war. The most dangerous incident had occurred three years earlier, when the commander of the Duchy of Layman was killed. The enraged Layman army surrounded Moyaki Port and attempted to destroy it. The matter even reached the imperial court of the Thousand-Year Empire. Only after the empire intervened did Moyaki Port escape disaster.

Second Madam Mei was displeased. She scolded Madam Yang, “Why are you cursing? Stop spouting nonsense! Don’t you, as her mother, know what Chun’er is like? And you’ve watched Mei’er grow up yourself. What exactly happened? Why bring this up all of a sudden? Chun’er, explain yourself properly.” The last sentence was directed at Guichun.

That’s right. While bored, Ra fired his gun casually, and the other Egyptian gods were born from his essence.

“This window is open far too wide. Doesn’t Second Brother feel cold?” At some point, Long Linfei had walked over to the window. He glanced outside, then slowly turned around. An inscrutable smile rested upon his knife-sculpted face as he stared straight at Long Tianwei.

I could not shake the feeling that I should return the contents of that treasure pouch to Zhao Moqing the next time I saw her.

Originally, he had planned to toss down a few gold pieces when no one was looking, then make a show of picking them up, using that method to launder the money.

“What is your identity in the Secret Third Division? What rank do you hold?” Ji Feng did not answer directly. Instead, he asked a question of his own.

With a sudden snap of the two fingers of his right hand, he tossed a flame onto the fallen leaves Su Yue had just gathered together.

Confusion filled Xinghai’s heart. He thought, “I altered the central dragon vein earlier and helped Feilanqu complete this formation. What exactly have I done? Why did the Skeleton God make me do it?” But by then, there was no time for regret. He turned and ran outside.

Yu Linglong was not a person from his previous life, so she naturally did not understand. She gazed at the several ghostly figures that had suddenly appeared in the courtyard, puzzled.

By this estimate, the armies of both sides combined numbered no more than a few hundred thousand, with only tens of thousands actually engaged in close combat.

For that reason, regardless of the circumstances, Su Yue retained a rare respect for the military.
