Chapter 34: The Dream
"Then shut up." Chu Molin stared coldly at Qin Lang with a dark face. Since he wouldn't dare a one-on-one fight yet kept running his mouth, he was truly a coward.
Wei Yang did not stay long in the old lady's room. She excused herself to go to the restroom and took a walk under the shade of the trees in the garden, feeling that she needed to have a talk with Liu Hansheng.
Li Xiting, however, could not understand, nor did she want to. Her mind was already in complete turmoil. She spread her hands, clutched her head, and looked back and forth between the man on the bed and the man in the wheelchair, unable to distinguish between them.
Wan Wan’s face flushed with shame, her body heaving with anger. Her arched, willow-like brows furrowed slightly, and a murderous intent brewed within her involuntarily.
Suddenly, Pei Yuanlin let out a loud shout, cutting off his request and steering the conversation in another direction.
Did she recognize him? Yet, no matter how many times Qin Lang searched his memory, he was certain he had never met Qin Xue's mother.
Lu Jingnian and Adjutant Zhang were both astonished. They simply could not understand how she could be so certain. Chu Xiaoyao was a seasoned businessman, a returnee from abroad, and a veteran of the commercial world—he was not someone who could be fooled by just a few words.
Mu Rongzheng cast a deep glance at her but remained silent. He carefully studied the front of the cave. The tunnel, which extended deep into the mountains, had indeed been sealed tight with earth and stones, covered in moss and wild flowers... To his estimation, it had been sealed for many years.
"It shouldn't be that hard, right? You, aren't you already going to marry Zizi? Haven't you already abandoned the vow that we would be together? You’ve already forgotten me, haven't you?"
Liu Menghan slowly pulled her left hand out from under the hem of Xing Si's jacket and pulled away the garment covering it, exposing the entire bomb mechanism to everyone. In her left hand, she held a pair of miniature scissors, leaving the thug even more astonished.
"You don't even know that? And you say you've had contact with the Galactic Race Alliance?" Beifeng Ge’er asked, somewhat speechless.
Not to mention the Primordial Era, even in the Ancient Era, such talent and such strength would be unwanted even as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
The creatures of the abyss, having just emerged from the rift, did not act according to the words of the fake god.
Su Li had carried out the steps of hijacking a spaceship to infiltrate a location from the outside in many times before, especially during his last stint in the Glorious System, where he had performed this operation from start to finish. Therefore, this task was by no means difficult for him.
The young security guard cupped his hands in a salute to Bai Fei, his eyes filled with the look of someone worshiping an idol.
If he had only been guessing before, he was now completely certain that the handiwork behind his father becoming that inhuman, ghostly creature was the doing of the Ma family.
Two figures engaged in fierce combat, trading hundreds of blows in the blink of an eye. The black-robed Ye Xingchen was incredibly excited; how could he not be happy to see his own original self suppressed so miserably?
Mu Jisi secretly cheered that things were going as planned. Su Li had not abandoned his intention to enter the divine corpse, and from this point alone, it was clear that he had no idea there was a trap inside.
Camus immediately understood the intent, sprayed a jet of water at the flames, and extinguished them instantly.
"The truth of the world has been buried in infinite darkness. You are the only hope. If even you cannot find it, the world will fall into eternal darkness, with no hope remaining." After the old monk finished speaking, a look of exhaustion flashed in his eyes.
But this method could not last forever, especially when a giant scorpion joined the fray. Its seemingly casual tail strike perfectly cut off the Shadow Scorpion Gu's path of evasion. With the two giant scorpions working together, the situation was reversed in an instant.
To wipe out the Zhuanlun Sect in one fell swoop, the Jin family had dispatched many core experts, totaling over five thousand men including reinforcements pulled from various branches—nearly double the size of the Jingtian Sect.
Among the defeated Cao army were many elite soldiers fleeing in disarray, swept along with the raw recruits as they ran aimlessly to the east. When Lu Meng led his troops in pursuit, the Cao soldiers, unable to outrun them, surrendered one after another. He ordered his men to round up the captives and escort them back to the main camp.
Jiujiang was controlled by the Lu family. Starting with Lu Kang, they had served as the governor of Lujiang Commandery just across the river. Jiujiang connected to Poyang Lake in the rear and faced the Hukou port on the opposite bank. Behind Jiujiang lay the Chaisang Port, an important shipyard and dock for Jiangdong.
"Brother Yao is right. I, too, am willing to make friends with everyone!" A figure stepped out from behind the representatives of the Mo School. It was Han Chunsheng, sent by the First Prince to observe at Tian Dou. It was no secret that he was sent to recruit newcomers on behalf of the First Prince; for example, Yao Buxing of the Five Elements Sect had been successfully lobbied by him.
The explosive force of the punch was like a king of beasts opening its blood-stained maw, intending to swallow the opponent whole.
After giving his orders to Old Man He Bai, Qin Shou began to tidy up his surgical instruments with a clatter. But looking at his grim expression and the slight traces of blood on the tools, one might think he was organizing torture devices.
An eight-star Poison Commander expert and two level-four poisonous beasts—this was a formidable lineup, enough to slaughter all the Blood Trial participants in Helin Mountain. Unfortunately, Su Ying could not control the two level-four poisonous beasts; to be precise, she did not know much about level-four beasts.
Reaching for the door handle, Hatsune Miku discovered that Ye Zixin had locked the door. Helpless, she knocked on the door and called out to Ye Zixin several times, but there was no response.
"Actually, I knew that this day would surely come. But this time, you are wrong; this time, we will not let you leave this place alive. Prepare to die!" Li Wu said.
Due to the mechanical noise and the distance, the two dragons did not hear the messenger's words clearly, but they seized the gap in the guards' movements and flew into the next corridor.
The timeline finally reached its end. In the hot spring of the Yagumo estate, Kirito stared at the scene before him with a flushed face.
