Volume 1, Chapter 48: Divergence

After a long period of deep thought, he slowly spoke, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this general is willing to surrender. I can reveal the hiding places of the remaining rebels within the city."

Walking past the other person, the Husky also turned around and followed closely behind Ihai. Clearly, it probably still had some things to say to Ihai, but it was strange—why hadn't it finished speaking earlier? Or was it because that person was present, making it inconvenient to speak?

With a student and faculty body exceeding eighty thousand, the Central Plains Imperial Academy had truly reached its pinnacle, far surpassing the state it was in when Su Luo first enrolled.

He placed Li Mang's corpse into the Universe Bag. Even in death, Li Mang's body had to be brought back.

During their parting last time, who could have imagined that in just the blink of an eye, the changes between them would be so immense? After merely a few months apart, the surviving scouts were all glowing with health, their attire and deportment resembling those of celestial beings.

Shen Rong fell silent; she had no way to refute Master Miaojing's words, yet she still could not stem her lingering worry.

Fortunately, at that moment, Eunuch Anzhong, who served by the Emperor's side, arrived. Saying that the Emperor had urgent matters to discuss with the Heir of Jing'an, he respectfully escorted him away.

In truth, it was not that the major lacked safety and security awareness; rather, this testing ground was not a high-level facility. It was generally used only to test low-level physical enhancement serums, and the experimental subjects who took those low-level serums possessed very limited enhancements, making it impossible for them to pose a threat to armed soldiers.

Even though Prince Yu was a leisure prince with no real power and an overly mild temperament, provoking a prince was still far from a wise move.

Speaking of the commune members, although they had reluctantly accepted the newcomer Monro, they still mostly kept him at a distance.

Lan Shuying felt nothing in particular, but Qiu Qing felt rather awkward, practically avoiding her during the first two days on set. Fearing that the two of them might start bickering again and affect the filming, Su Nana specially came over to explain things to Lan Shuying, mentioning that Chen Yuhuan was cast because... perhaps no one else was more suited for that role.

"Understood!" Helian Tiehua immediately nodded, turned around to give swift instructions to those beside him, and sent them off to make the arrangements.

The Earth Ghosts of the Evil Spirit Cult were indeed terrifying. Fortunately, their numbers were few, with high-level and low-level ones totaling no more than forty-three. Otherwise, if such an army of Earth Ghosts truly existed, the end of the world might indeed be at hand.

"This trip to the Lin family will be accompanied by the Totoro and the Puppet Battalion. Since Blood Fiend is currently unconscious, all affairs are temporarily placed under the Totoro's management." After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tian decided to bring the Totoro along. Having traveled the martial world for many years, the Totoro possessed seasoned and profound experience, making it extremely suitable for the task.

Lichun offered Feng'er an apologetic smile and intended to step forward to say something to her, but seeing that Feng'er was in low spirits, she decided against it. She had sensed a trace of hesitation in Feng'er's heart just now; if her own sudden intervention had forced Feng'er to refuse, would she not have committed a grave fault?

"Very well." The expressions of several individuals instantly darkened. Exchanging glances with one another, they directly opened the formation, causing the mass of divine origin energy to surge violently.

This was surely the most terrifying torture in the world, yet not a single person present dared to utter the slightest sound. Everyone was struck dumb with fear, trembling like autumn leaves amidst the shrieking screams of the Ghost-Eyed Evil Monarch.

At this very moment, no one expected that even Ling Gongyu, who had never known the meaning of retreat, would turn timid as well. Yet, Senior Sister Ling's words at this juncture voiced what was in all their hearts; the altar was simply too horrifying, making one unwilling to linger here for even a single moment. Merely staying here filled them with trembling dread.

Upon hearing this, Xie Mengying hurriedly pulled her feet out of the lake water. Chu Feng smoothly took hold of them, using his internal cultivation to help drive away the chill for her. After all, they were friends; he could not simply stand by and ignore her falling ill.
