Volume 1, Chapter 32: Li Ya is My Own Elder Brother

Qin Xiaoying’s face flushed, but she quickly regained her composure. Having narrowly escaped death, she felt no fear; instead, she glared at Qi Donglai with eyes full of hatred, shedding the last vestiges of the timidity she had shown back in the countryside.

He appeared directly in the midst of the undead. His eyes snapped open, and the fierce Shura Gaze instantly shattered dozens of undead creatures before him.

Wang Xudong washed up briefly, only to realize it was already past nine in the morning. He almost never woke up this late, but of course, that was the effect of the alcohol—and the influence of the alcohol went far beyond just that.

"The purpose of today’s meeting is to hear about the progress of your two departments. First, Department One, how far along is your work?" Wang Xudong asked Jiang Xiaodie.

"It’s a conversation between men; why do you ask so much?" Ji Chengyu steered the conversation away, not wanting her to know, though deep down, he kept wondering what that secret of his could be.

Looking at the name of this expert, Long Fei curled his lips, a triumphant smile appearing on his face.

A large portion of the River Gods, Mountain Deities, Land Gods, and City Gods existing in the world were originally Ghost Immortals who had been granted divine offices by the Heavenly Court, allowing them to embark on the path of divine cultivation.

The young monk’s eyes, however, were filled with yearning, clearly resonating with the old rascal’s words.

Accompanied by a flash of white light from their skills, their figures darted out, kicking up a massive cloud of dust and sand.

"Gentlemen, I will not be staying any longer." To their surprise, Chen Feng waved his hand and turned to walk out the door.

Li Qinghe hid in the shadows, while Shouichi Tsugami, who had arrived on a motorcycle, stood in front of the Scorpion Unknown.

The boss sneered, "This Ninglu Hall clearly doesn't hold my Luocao Ridge in any regard. Since you’ve come, let us settle this once and for all today!" He then sighed toward the heavens, "Man Niang, today, your husband will avenge you!"

The security guard carried the child into the guardhouse. Several others boarded Yang Guang’s SUV, and Su Yin sat on You Zishi’s lap like a baby as the car drove off into the distance.

Although these things were somewhat abstract to Duan Lang, he was still able to grasp the basic concepts.

"What a lovely voice!" Meng Yuchu sighed to herself, smiling as she said, "No need for formalities, go on with your work." Ping’er bowed to her again before running off with Pan’er to fetch water.

Upon hearing this news from Rogue, Tang Ze frowned. His battle with the professionals had just ended; he had heavily damaged the elite team and killed the super-professionals. How could the Rogue Encampment still have the nerve to provoke the monsters in the Cold Plains and the Burial Grounds?

Su Yin was startled. After mulling over the words, she immediately realized their meaning. Her face turned red, and she stood up, pretending to leave as she reached for the nearby chair.

Huan Xiuying remained instinctively suspicious, but that did not affect his decision. He wanted to see if he could defeat Bai Yuling; if he could, he would naturally take him down immediately.

Ouyang Rui utilized the meager energy left in his body, bracing himself as he swung his mace with all his might against the pig demon’s body.

That made sense. Black and White Impermanence were ancient ghosts of thousands of years; their thinking was perhaps a bit outdated. In their eyes, two men being together was already against worldly convention, let alone matters of official status.

"Turn things into gold? That spell sounds pretty good! I'll have her teach me one day! Hehe..." Si Xi stroked his chin, his eyes rolling as he mused.

After comforting Helian Qingtong, she quietly called Aqi to a corner to clarify the reason. After hearing it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Xintong backed away, feeling a chill. She pulled the quilt over herself, yet she still trembled, a coldness seeping from the depths of her heart. It was the icy, cellar-like gaze from him that intimidated her.

Dalin glanced at the wild vegetables and fruits neatly arranged in wooden buckets and leaves within the Tianyang cave. He knew these weren't for Tianyang himself. As for where they would end up, he guessed Tianyang intended to give them to the witch doctor, Tang Guo.

"Alright, I'll get out of bed and walk around a bit. You take good care of yourself and don't let me worry about you," Helian Longteng said, plopping down onto a stool.

"Since it was made for Young Master Ling, then leave it for him to eat slowly. I’m not used to such things."

The moment she was stunned, Ling Xiao casually dropped the helmet he was holding and lunged toward her in a single stride.

Su Xing tried not to overthink it. No matter what disguise he used, as long as he was safe and sound, that was all that mattered.

The two of them pulled Lin Yu to sit down. Just then, Fang Hui climbed out of his gaming pod. Seeing Lin Yu had returned, he hurried over to join them, and Li Shaoyun spoke up.

"When I have time, I'll go over and take a look. If it’s really like what you said, I can invest in you," Liu Feng said.

For a moment, our situation was dire to the extreme. A thought crossed my mind instantly: when gods fight, mortals suffer. We hadn't even defeated the vengeful spirits yet, and now rocks were falling like cannonballs.

"What is that thing?" I slowly turned off my flashlight, even lowering my voice several levels. I even wondered if it might be the legendary tomb-guarding beast underneath, but that was just a guess; we had no idea what it actually was.

"No, it’s not just technology. They’ve also incorporated supernatural powers. Look at the center of the mechanical beast's forehead!" Staring intently at the mechanical beast, Professor Long said softly.

"Where is Fei'er being imprisoned? And who issued the decree?" Shangguan Honglie’s voice was filled with rage. How dare they use the Ten Fragrance Softening Powder on Fei'er? Whoever it was, they were tired of living.

The powerful, resounding voice, combined with the shocking scene before them, struck the hearts of everyone present like heavy hammer blows.
