Chapter 41

“You’re asking for death.” Hong Wanquan roared in fury. With a fierce sweep of his palm, a terrifying surge of primal energy abruptly appeared before the giant wolf and slammed violently into its body.

Seeing the stunned expressions of the two, Fang Yan’s lips twitched involuntarily. In truth, he hesitated for a moment before revealing this secret. After all, their strength was overwhelmingly formidable, and no one could predict how they might react upon learning about the miraculous power of the Primal Spirit.

The golden figure turned its head toward the two, spreading its wings wide and soaring straight into the clouds. After circling them twice in midair, it let out a soft cry before vanishing into the darkness preceding dawn.

In fact, the research center now housed many new faces they hadn’t known before.

As Lin Chen spoke, his gaze never left Duan Yang’s face. Even after finishing his words, he continued to observe Duan Yang’s expression, pondering how he might respond and how he himself should reply.

The shapes of the light were hard to describe—chaotic in appearance. From my intuitive impression, they resembled a tangled mass of noodles.

He rambled on to Su Ruotong for some time before her clenched fists finally relaxed a little.

Of course, he wanted to hire a nanny, but judging by Su Changqing’s attitude, it was absolutely out of the question. More than that, Su Changqing had explicitly stated before that no nanny would be allowed for their child in the future; Tao Xian was to be the one to raise the child.

Xiao Yun’er immediately pulled herself together, staring at the paths before her—one to the left, one to the right. According to the map, the right path was correct. Was there danger on the right? Or would it be like last time?

During this period, she had planned to rely on Feitian Entertainment, a company under the Gu family, but the slap mark on Gu Ting’s face made Yang Yang unable to bring up the topic. Judging by the size of the mark, it seemed to have been dealt by a man—probably his own father.

Dr. Hu couldn’t understand why Hu Mei was so determined to make this happen, but given the current circumstances, it was something that had to be confronted.

Seeing the situation, Catherine quickly stepped back. The blade’s flash severed several strands of her hair near her temple.

He silently glanced around at everyone present. Many were frontline officers of criminal investigation and narcotics units. Hearing this, they all felt a pang of sympathy.

He was delighted and at ease, directly opening the cultivation simulator to view the cultivation techniques uploaded by players. With a unique divine perspective, he verified the effects and powers of various immortal arts, assimilating the strengths of many schools to continuously improve the prowess of his cultivation avatar.

Someone let out a soft “huh,” then an evidence inspector picked up a wall lamp on the ground and examined it carefully. “Wen Shizhuo tampered with this wall lamp. It’s specially made! It can hold something inside.” He then placed it into the evidence bag.

For now, with the system interface undergoing upgrades and the practitioners of dark paths in Lingnan County having been purged, it was impossible to acquire large amounts of yin energy. He also had a vague feeling that a powerful sect from the southern border was about to trouble him.

The company president smiled faintly. “It’s been a long time since things were this lively. I want to have a try myself.” Saying so, he casually picked up a crumpled piece of paper.

If Tong Wu were alive, returning to the Jingxian Division would surely mean punishment, but now that he was dead, all grudges had dissipated. Mu Taining naturally wouldn’t allow anyone to continue discussing it.

Apart from initially delivering a token and a letter in his secret chamber, the Hell Gate never appeared again, as if it had completely forgotten him.

He seemed unaware of my odd behavior, letting go of my hand and busied himself washing up and changing into pajamas, trying to cover up the words he had accidentally let slip.

“Yes, I’m very grateful for this. People should have ambition; perhaps one day that ambition will lead to good deeds. Without you, I wouldn’t be Xu Tu now,” I said.

The few warriors, seeing her attempt to flee again, hurriedly prepared to unleash their internal martial spirit energy to capture Zhou Qian’er in one move. But as they tried to summon their martial spirit energy, something astonishing happened—they were unable to do so.

I hadn’t expected Gu Qin to confess like that at such a moment, nor did I imagine Dad would come up with such a bizarre solution—bringing Gu Qin and Du Heng together to expose all their hidden secrets to the light.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the crimson lightning struck directly at the martial ninja Wang Tiandengsi. Instantly, a luminous circle about two meters in radius appeared on the duel platform.

“Uncle Xiao, let’s not do this. We’ve already examined everything; all the necessary evidence has been collected. The rest is up to the prosecution. We have to let Xiao Xiao rest in peace,” I said.

“Xu Tu, is what he said true?” Gu Qin asked, his eyes sharp as knives scanning me back and forth.

In truth, even if I had bowed in defeat today, Murong Kun would have still given me a harsh beating, because Luo Hu and Ouyang Can would never let me off so easily. Of course, besides me, Zhao Wulong and his brothers were also destined to suffer the same fate.

Old Madam Chu spoke softly yet with the sharp severity of one in power. Her piercing gaze swept over everyone indifferently, sending chills down their spines.

Hong Yueru merely smiled without continuing, as there was no point in comparison. They had lived together and surely had a closer relationship. She had considered this, but things would improve gradually—they were siblings by blood.

Not far from the county office, in an alley, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng were waiting for official business. Nearby, the Qian Niu Guards kept watch, while Pei Jinglun and his nephew Pei Xuan stood before Li Shimin.

Most importantly, he knew there was no way to deceive Li Xuance, or indeed anyone else.

This concept was widely recognized across Jiuyang Continent. The first five are the Five Calamities of the human body, which subtly influence one’s personality. If one’s personality aligns perfectly with their attributes, cultivation would be twice as effective with half the effort.

Originally, I had come to Lantian to buy land, but without doing anything, the deed was delivered into my hands.

Radiant and triumphant, speaking of the Third Prince before her, there was no trace of sorrow or despair.

Suddenly, cinnabar stirred a feeling that urged her to follow, to see where Yu Bai intended to go.

Lin Cha couldn’t care less about going to the Demon Realm; as long as she escaped from here, she was already very happy. It was clear the others didn’t want to follow either.
