Volume 1, Chapter 57: Inscrutable Depth

With a dull thud, as if a wall had materialized out of thin air, Ning Yitian's fleeing figure collided against it.

"Boom, boom..." Seeing that the remaining hundred genetic warriors had yet to emerge, Ning Yitian immediately began bombarding them. He stored tens of thousands of high-explosive grenades within his spatial ring, making them ideally suited for this kind of harassment.

The remaining five bolts of lightning struck down almost simultaneously with a deafening crash. He only had time to catch a fleeting glimpse of a figure in pink amidst the ten-thousand-foot golden radiance, accompanied by a hazy, faint smile... When he looked up again, the spot was left in absolute devastation... Their souls and bodies were completely annihilated, leaving not even a skeleton behind.

Ever since he found the old man that day, he had been told everything and sent back to his past life. Witnessing all these entanglements, how could anyone bear to let go? Since you came to repay a debt, it was destined that our lives must intertwine in this lifetime, and no one would ever be allowed to tear us apart. You must remember the vow we made.

Indeed, by using this Bodhi seed as a medium, one could achieve such heaven-defying feats in a place where spells were strictly forbidden. Truly... could one simply say that every rule has its exception?

Among these soldiers, the vast majority recognized Yinyi. Many had once been his subordinates, soldiers under his direct command. They had originally thought he had long since been executed, never expecting him to appear here. Could this be the will of heaven, an omen sent down by the heavens to guide them?

The moment Lin Xiaoxi heard those words, her tears began to stream down uncontrollably. She had told herself she was strong, that she would endure and definitely not cry. Yet upon hearing Tang Tianhao utter those words, her tears flowed forth without the slightest warning.

"Pull the arrowhead out. It's fine, go ahead." Blood dripped steadily from Fan Yun's shoulder, yet her voice remained steady.

Jielan felt somewhat flattered, though she offered no objection and took her seat beside the city assistant as arranged. Only after she and the assistant were seated did the other officials take their places.

Hearing this, a warm current surged through Tang Ruoyao's heart, accompanied by a wave of shame for having just misunderstood him.

"What is your name? To think you could dodge my attack! It would perhaps be better to make you my subordinate. Regardless of whether just now was mere coincidence or something else, the fact is you dodged it, which means you've bought yourself an extra lease on life!" With that, a fierce red gleam flashed suddenly in Xie Muyun's eyes as he stared at the middle-aged man.

Zhong Lingyu sighed upon seeing that Dr. Lin could not explain the root cause either. Staying here was pointless, and Su Yan's current physical condition meant he didn't want to add to her burdens. He told Su Rui he would be leaving first, suggesting that a good night's sleep at home might make her feel better.

At the mere thought of this man, Hua Yun felt a slight headache coming on. He was the only son of her father's best friend and her childhood playmate, sharing a bond as sweethearts since youth. Furthermore, Jin Cheng's pursuit of her was already an open secret within the group.

Zhou Lijie, a general of the second army of the Wolf-Fang troops, was ordered to lead one thousand former captured cavalrymen to garrison Chanyin's eastern Dashacao Fortress.

Sun Weidong's pupils dilated abruptly, as if he wanted to say something more, but before the words could leave his lips, he was cut off by Xaina.

The masked youth remained expressionless, but the camera captured the flicker of resolute determination in his eyes.

"Very well, Dachu, use this roster to have someone notify them to attend a meeting at the headquarters." Gao Chong handed Dachu a list of senior commanders.

Gao Chong intended to use this bentonite and montmorillonite primarily as the main binder for casting molding sand, as well as an additive for papermaking and paint. When used for sizing in weaving, it saved grain and prevented fuzzing.

The casual manner of their speech only convinced Zhong Lingyu all the more that they were desperately eager to leave, making it impossible for him to let them go now.

"Fine, I've noted it down. Let's get going now, to the hospital. A check-up will give me peace of mind." He Anze had been keeping this matter on his mind all along.

Yet he was also well aware that Lin Wan had been stealing glances at him, her burning gaze practically scorching the skin on the side of his face. However, after learning the secrets concerning the [Heroic Power], he felt even more hesitant to readily accept Lin Wan.

Peering inside through the jagged hole in the window, one could see that the room was utterly barren. The bed frame supported nothing more than a straw mat, accompanied by a single table, a chair, and an oil lamp. In the corner sat a large earthenware vat—that comprised their entire worldly possessions.

She had originally expected to visit the Royal City to converse with Qianying about past events, but looking at the situation now, that trip was clearly out of the question, Su Shangxue mused silently to herself.

Typically, seniors in the Deity Transformation realm remained in seclusion seeking opportunities to ascend to immortality, and treasures like the Demon-Illuminating Mirror were exceedingly difficult to forge, which was why Sovereign Yinhuai had little fear that these rogue cultivators would discover her true identity.

Yan Ying, on the other hand, did not ask any foolish questions about why the warriors of the Ziyang Mansion were outnumbering and ganging up on their opponent.

Su Hongxin lowered his head, as if giving up the struggle. Then, under the joyful gazes of the village folk, six pairs of hands grabbed his legs, locked his waist, and seized his arms, hoisting him up to be carried back.

Having already lost the initiative, Xiao Yang could only offer passive resistance while desperately seeking other methods to break the deadlock.

"It seems that those who practice the Demonic Dao are somewhat different from the humans born and bred in the Void Heaven; what they possess are strictly pragmatic thoughts." Yang Wang finally figured it out.

If he truly cherished his position and possessed any professional dedication, he would at that moment be racking his brains to find ways to make up for the losses, or even seizing an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Yue Lingran's lips twitched slightly, but she said nothing. Even if she hadn't usurped Yue Lingran's body, the original Yue Lingran likely wouldn't have fared well either.
