Volume 1, Chapter 50: Unable to Take Her Away

This continued for three days. On the evening of the third day, the ghost of Black Ercha possessed the second daughter of the family, revealing in detail how he had been murdered, who the killer was, and where it had all taken place.

Li Feiyu's assault was swift and peerless, his fists and palms striking incessantly. In a single breath, he unleashed three thousand six hundred punches, each one boundless in its tyranny, each one crashing forward like an ancient, peerless fierce beast. Gu Leizi was forced into a continuous retreat, channeling the supreme power of thunder to intercept the overwhelming force of those three thousand six hundred blows.

With that, he rested right where he stood. Having left the battlefield for many years, his wild gallop tonight had worn away a few layers of skin. Taking advantage of this breathing space, he surveyed the surrounding ruins and the precarious buildings before him, finding them stranger and more bizarre the longer he looked.

Therefore, after finishing breakfast, I decided to go out and take a look. On one hand, I wanted to find out if Shiliwan Village really had the home of Zhang Ying and see if she had truly married into this place. On the other hand, I wanted to retrace the route along which I had followed Zhang Ying's weeping sounds the previous night, to investigate what was going on with that cemetery where graves supposedly grew larger.

The younger generation of the Celestial Clan were fiercely powerful nowadays, rumored to have attained the late stage of the Dao Realm before even reaching a hundred years of age.

The Martian looked somewhat disappointed, but still pressed his bloody thumbprint onto the ground. The others followed suit, pressing their bloody thumbprints as well, thus completing the formation.

Having waited for so long, he had finally secured his one and only chance for a counterattack; how could he possibly let it slip away?

The official in the peaked cap finished speaking, then looked up at the four flat-roofed houses, mentally estimating how much they could fetch at an auction.

"Hahaha, it seems Brother Shi and I share the same thought!" Xuan Jing laughed heartily. To find a single bosom friend in life was already quite enough.

Xue Zhan, whose heart was already drained of strength, felt even more despair upon seeing this, his fighting spirit dropping by another thirty percent amidst the battle, turning his original disadvantage into an even more perilous situation.

At this moment, the true guest of honor made his entrance. Everyone hurried toward the main entrance to welcome him, and even the few Southeast Asian financial magnates who had previously been surrounded by the crowd had to walk over one by one.

The letter previously hidden in the secret compartment of the bronze box had been stolen by the Phoenix. For certain reasons, Xu Fan had not explained this to Xia Yanyu.

"His Majesty has arrived—" Following the announcement, everyone except Noble Consort Mei and the Fifth Princess knelt down to pay respects. Emperor Yongchang walked in full of vigor and beaming with smiles, while Noble Consort Mei and the Fifth Princess stepped forward to welcome him.

The Five Fiends' eyes turned icy, and the black turbulent waves surging around them grew even more intense. Following this, the towering black python, which was on the verge of shattering a moment before, instantly swelled in size.

Taking a light step, he let out a long whistle facing the sky, his mass of black hair flying in disarray. During this process, countless cultivators coughed up mouthfuls of blood, their bodies trembling violently, completely awed by that overwhelming momentum.

Dai Shanshan also sighed. She was too busy every day and had few opportunities to interact with Zhao Ya. Chu Yang's net worth had now reached hundreds of millions, yet Dai Shanshan knew nothing about it at all.

Unless something unexpected happened, as long as Qin Tian remained alive, chose not to leave, and did not fall, he would reign supreme on Earth for some time to come, and presumably, the evolvers of most forces and races would have to grovel at his feet.

Fearing that Pumpkin might cause a commotion in such a setting, Susha Suman had tucked Pumpkin into her beast ring the moment the group entered the Spirit Power Hall.

Even though Xiao Qiyun's status was awkward, she was still a member of the Xiao Manor. This was no longer just a matter between Liu Yongqi and Xiao Qiyun, but a conflict between the Liu family and the Xiao family. The other party was blatantly slapping the Xiao family in the face, which went far too far.

Afterward, Chilian completed his projection, and his combat power had plummeted. Now he could barely fight to a draw; inflicting fatal damage on Chilian would be exceedingly difficult.

In a split second, he was startled by his own thought. Perhaps, as Fang Yulu had said, he was truly bewitched by Shen Xinyue. Just her few lines of text had completely changed his construction design for Returning Garden.

Communicating through consciousness allowed the two of them to avoid detection by their fellow disciples. Now they had returned to the state where they could easily keep in touch at any time.

Li Dai's body was already free of impurities, but being washed by this unknown bodily fluid directly transformed her mortal physique into a spirit body. This transformation was extremely covert and mysterious; not a single person present noticed it.

Such magnificent architecture gleamed brilliantly beneath the blazing sun, dazzling and breathtakingly beautiful, radiating a striking sense of wonder. Yet this was the world of cultivation, not the mortal realm. Everyone seemed utterly intoxicated by power and cultivation, and no matter how wondrous or beautiful a spectacle appeared in the cultivation world, not a single person would pause to look at it twice.

"Go, close the gates. Don't frighten the neighbors." With that, Eighth Master continued eating his meat and drinking his wine, showing no intention of going out to watch their duel, seemingly content just to peer through the doorway.

Seeing that Li Dai had truly come, Gui Keyi was overjoyed. She hurriedly stepped forward to link arms with her, smiling brightly, though nobody knew what she was so happy about.

After entering the Myriad Phenomena Realm, the two of them spent every day hiding among the main forces, not daring to venture outside to explore. Having failed to cultivate true qi, they were mere mortals; going outside would simply be throwing their lives away.

Old Man Tianji truly kept his word. When he said he would reason with them, he only reasoned, ignoring everything else entirely.

Then, Lu Xuehua felt himself being hoisted onto someone's shoulder and carried swiftly away. He struggled desperately inside the sack, not just for his own sake, but hoping to make as much noise as possible to awaken the other disciples—especially to warn Liu Qianxue—yet he could only emit helpless muffled groans.

Qi continued to condense relentlessly, transforming into fierce, biting gales that swept across everyone's faces, causing a faint stinging sensation.

Endowed with so much cyan spiritual energy, the cyan divine sword naturally grew exponentially in power. The blade itself expanded from several dozens of feet to over twenty feet long.

Zhao Si hurried into the main hall of the Kunning Palace. Looking at the chaotic mess scattered across the floor, he didn't need to ask to know this was the masterpiece of his backer having just lost her temper.

If it were really that simple, he wouldn't be the Demonic Evil God! Or perhaps Gu Yu and the trio were simply too powerful?

"What do you mean, brilliant? Everyone else graduates, and I graduate too—isn't it all the same?" Wang Peng said. Ignoring Fat Liu's sweat-drenched clothes, he threw an arm around his shoulders, picked up his luggage, and left together, while people streaming in and out of the school gates occasionally waved to him.

This time, Shiyan had absolutely no way of escape. The Air Walkers had kicked the magical artifact, the Air-Resonance Stone Bracelet, down into the valley, and tied up the screaming Shiyan like a giant rice dumpling.

Gu Tianchuan and Gu Yue flashed looks of unsightly dismay upon seeing this. Were these the guests who had been plaguing the Gu family for days, showing up to collect debts?

Zhao Xuan called out to that busy figure, wanting to offer a word of comfort, but when the words reached his lips, he realized he had no idea how to speak to her or what kind of words to use to console her.
