Volume 1, Chapter 62: I Am Not His Father

Around the dining table, everyone wore an expression of inscrutable complexity.

First was Qi Min. While she feigned a reproachful air toward her grandfather for speaking without restraint, her face bore the coy, bashful demeanor of a young maiden, and her gaze remained fixed entirely upon Jiang Chen diagonal to her, brimming with eager anticipation.

After one final probing attack, the Japanese soldiers also retreated. Finding no opening and achieving nothing through their repeated probes other than depleting the defenders' ammunition, they left behind only corpses.

True Virtue Immortal sighed and said, "You are stubborn in your own ways; how could you ever listen to the advice of others? Very well, since I have fallen into your hands, whether you wish to kill or carve me up, I submit entirely to your command." Having fallen into the hands of a ruthless figure like Deng Jiugong, what other path was there to choose besides death?

At this moment, the raging primal energy within the magic array had just been suppressed by him. Thus, dividing his focus into two, he slowly channeled primal energy into Qiu Di while allowing the primal energy within himself to transform and recover gradually.

In terms of realm, Ye Fei was currently at the first tier of Qi Condensation, yet he was confident that the might of this single hammer strike would be enough to instantly annihilate a formidable expert in the late stages of Qi Condensation.

Li Mubai had not spoken with Ah Bai for some time. With the two of them going out to procure goods together, his spirits were quite high.

Since that trace of primordial breath now existed within his body, he used it as a foundation. Xiang Jinlai attempted to condense it further, but perhaps due to the meager amount of primordial breath inside him, the process was excruciatingly slow. Even after dawn broke, he had still failed to condense any more primordial breath.

After they had walked far away, the villagers suddenly rushed into Da Mai's home, eager to dig something out from the ashes. However, they failed.

The atmosphere in the grand hall was visibly joyful, yet from within the room on the eastern side came bursts of deeply disgruntled noises.

In truth, Qu Die's words were entirely accurate. Having lingered in the business world for so many years, how could he not understand these principles? If their business transactions were conducted in such a manner, it would be no different than childish play.

As soon as Bian Ze finished speaking, he charged forward as the vanguard, and the rest of the group unleashed their cultivation levels and rushed after him.

"Here again?" Yue Li glanced around. It was the same vast expanse of whiteness; this was already the second time she had dreamed of this place. As for the dreams she had in the past, she could basically remember nothing upon waking, save for this place, which remained vividly etched in her memory.

Yuyin held back nothing, recounting everything truthfully to Feng Jiuge without missing a single word, simply pouting her lips with a cold expression.

For some reason, these words slipped out before she could stop them, and by the time she reacted, it was already too late.

The cyan lotus began to spin, and petal after petal shot forth, forming a river of petals that heavily battered against the mountain wall.

Knowing he was in the wrong, he could only nurse his anger in sullen silence, then dragged Xie Feitian along to send her back home.

During the next few days, Ling Chen remained in seclusion to condense the Cyan Lotus Sword Qi and accumulate reserves of fused divine soul consciousness.

Although he was a Divine Consciousness Master, he had not studied the Dao of Alchemy. Coming here this time was merely to retrieve his thought pill.

"So what if he is? My father was even more innocent, yet the Nan family showed him no mercy." Zhou Youisheng remained unmoved, and instead continued speaking.

As the time spent together grew longer, the Azure Dragon was gradually captivated by her bit by bit, unconsciously leaving the shadow of that young woman imprinted in the depths of his heart.

"Oh dear, Annie, this is hardly the time to be talking about such things!" Zhang Nan's tone carried a hint of urgency.

Yet her mind continually replayed the sight of Wu Jie striking her, unable to banish it no matter how hard she tried.

"Hehe, what kind of effect will this have if Sister Lan eats it?" Li Xin gazed at the medicinal pill and smiled triumphantly.

"It's that bastard Shintaro Sakamoto!" Ryuyuki Suzuki identified the other party's identity purely from the voice that carried over. He tightened his grip on his battle saber involuntarily, gritting his teeth as he spoke in a deep voice.

The brief exchange between the two caused the momentum of the four figures opposite them to surge. Within moments, four distinct auras belonging exclusively to Earth Realm cultivators erupted outward.
